Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

Mock V3




Most of its the sameas the last, but there were a bunch of mistakes I felt needed fixing

Star-divide

 

1. St. Louis: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma: At this point, there is no way they don’t QB. Personally, I think this is the wrong choice. I say go BPA here with either DT as they are both almost sure things, but they do have to give their fans some hope for the future, and Bradford’s it.

2. Detroit: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska (6-4, 302): Pretty easy choice here. Suh is above and beyond the better DT in my eyes. I feel he will be a dominant force, and not just a penetrator. This guy can solidify a DL for years.

3. Tampa: Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma (6-4, 298): Huge need and BPA? Talk about a homerun.

4: Washington: Russell Okung, OT, OK State (6-5, 302): As a Broncos fan, I know Shanny will want to protect any QB, and Shanny is known for making sure he has an LT to anchor his line ie: Lepsis to Clady. If I know Shanny, I think he’ll giv Campbell this year and then if he fails draft a QB.

5: Kansas City: Rolando McClain, ILB, Bama (6-4, 256) KC goes D cuz they need help bad here. People say OT, but they just drafted one 2 years ago, i say giv Albert his 3rd year to prove himself, as he showed he can be pretty good. McClain was made for the 3-4, and I think he'll do very well there

6: Seattle: Jimmy Clausen, QB, ND: Plain and simple: Hasselback= done and new QB is needed. Plus, Clausen and Carrol are very familiar with eachother as they played one another every year.

7: Cleveland: Eric Berry, S/CB, Tennesse: Cleveland takes the best DB in the draft. Can play any position in the secondary, so his versatility along with his playmaking ability makes him a homerun at 7.

8: Oakland: Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland: You feel bad for the guy, knowing he is going to be over drafted and not pan out as one would expect from the 8th pick. I don’t even need to explain this pick.

9: Buffalo: Brian Bulaga, OT, Iowa: Probably the safest OT prospect in the draft. I don’t expect him to be a great LT ie: Clady, Oher, Joe Thomas etc. But I can see him being a solid LT for years.

10: Jacksonville: Joe Haden, CB, Florida: BPA is the way the new path Gene Smith is bringing in. Haden is easily the best player here even after a so-so combine, makin him an absolute steal here.

11: Denver: Dan Williams, NT, Tennesse: A big NT the Broncos could use at the point of attack. Ronald Fields didnt do bad in his first year, but he is too small (317, yea real small) for the position, and might be better as a 5 tech or a rotational guy. They might pick Dez if BMarsh is traded, but since I'm not showing trades on my mock, I wont show this pick. I recommend all mockers read my previous sentence. Again: IF YOUR NOT SHOWING TRADES, DON’T SHOW DEZ BEING DRAFTED BY THE BRONCOS.

12: Miami: Dez Bryant, WR, OK State (6-2, 220): People say Parcells doesnt like drafting WR's in the first round, but if he wants Henne to continue to grow as a QB, he'll giv him this playmaker. Vet locker room and good, stern coaching staff can also handle his ego/antics

13: San Fransisco: Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers: Might not be the greatest LT prospect, but if anything, he could be a great mauler at RT which fills a need.

14: Seattle: Derrick Morgan, DE, Ga tech: Need an edge rusher, and this is the best one in the draft. To me this is  agood fit for both team and player.

15: New York Giants: Brian Price, DT, UCLA: The DE’s in this D can stand not being upgraded, but DT is the biggest need here. I had Earl Thomas last time, but now with Rolle that would be pointless. Price is a guy flying under the radar, but I think he’ll be taken top 20.

16: San Fransisco: CJ Spiller, RB, Clemson: Great scat back that can spill for Gore, and also helps the return game.

17: Tennesse: Everson Griffen, DE, USC: Might be a reach here, but he is a big bodied athletic edge rusher, and should also help against the run. Best DE here and the need one after losing KVB.

18: Pittsburgh: Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise St: Solid CB who fits a need. Would probably prefer Dan Williams, but since he has had a great offseason and is rising on everybody’s draft boards, don’t expect him here.

19: Atlanta: Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho: Best G in the draft, and if you ask me, top 5 best overall. Will clear paths for RB’s for years.

20: Houston: Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers: Guy went to my high school. He’s great and can also help ST. Should help fill Robinson void.

21: Cincy: Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma: Great pass catching TE who gives Palmer yet another target.

22:New England: Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas: Pass rush is defintily needed, and Sergio can provide that. Maybe Spiller here, but I think Kindle would help more.

23: Green Bay: Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma: Should be a good OT, and he doesn’t have to start immediately either.

24: Philadelphia: Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan: Great pass rusher and an amazing motor. Should help against the rush although he might be better suited for the 3-4/

25: Baltimore Ravens: Earl Thomas, S, Texas: Not huge on the guy, but if he isn’t a good Safety, which I don’t think he will be, he could be a solid CB.

26: Arizona: Charles Brown, OT, USC: Should be a great OT, although might help if he puts on weight

27: Cowboys: John Jerry, OG/OT, Ole Miss (6-6, 332): typical Cowboys OLmen, big and nasty.

28: San Diego: Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State: No choice but to go this route. I think this is a bigger need than NT because the NT rotation they had after Williams went down did OK, and the Chargers rushing game sucked all year and now they lost there only workhorse back

29: New York Jets: Jared Odrick, DE/DT, Penn St (6-5, 301): with questions on the DL, and a great 5 tech DE like Jared, this pick is a no brainer, if he falls here

30: Minnesota: Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida: Starter from Day one till end of his career. Can play any of the interior OL positions, and even has some OT experience

31: Indianapolis: Sean Witherspoon, LB, Mizz: Colts could use a playmaker LB, but of course, they always do, but Polian never takes one. Doesn’t have to start in first year and has many solid vets around that could help show him the ropes. Plus, with no good looking OL prospects here, Polian wont reach and go BPA here.

32: New Orleans: Jason-Pierre-Paul, DE, USF: Physical freak, but definitly a project. I see Saints developing him for a year or two and in the mean time use him as a situational rusher. They can risk this pick a little, as I think they are set at a lot of positions. Maybe they could take Burrnett from GA Tech or Chad Jones from LSU to replace Sharper if he isn’t resigned, but I think a dominant pass rusher would be better for the long run.

Not bad another option could have been McCourt but I would def. take Weatherspoon if he was available there.

Especially if the top T are off the board.

at least you gave us someone that could make sense. I don't really know if we would take LB but I think he would be a good fit.

hey could you do me a favor (all us) and bold the team and pick to make it stand out better? if it is to hard to do on the edit window copy and past to word and you can fix the thing in a matter of 2 min.

Thanks, (if not ill get over it but just a suggestion)

No on Anthony Davis

I feel he’s a guaranteed bust and doesn’t fit the ZBS the 49ers intend on running with their OL.

Here's hoping 2010 is the end of our drought.

by FearTheTree on Mar 15, 2010 1:30 AM EDT reply actions  

Im a jersey guy so Im rootin for him but I hear ya

But who knows he might fit. I thought at 325 Clady couldnt zone block wither but that turned out not to be true.

One of the only people I've seen...

… who realize how JPP isn’t worth a top-15 pick. Nice mock.

by alwaysforgiven821 on Mar 15, 2010 1:32 AM EDT reply actions  

Thanks I dont think hes really worth a 1st

But at 32, NO can afford the high risk high reward player

by DBroncs1414 on Mar 15, 2010 1:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

Well...

I guess so. DT isn’t really a need…health is a need, so unless your drafting a training staff….DT is not a big need.

Price may be the BPA there tho, maybe.

Earl Thomas is still possible, that’s not pointless at all. I like ET better then Price too so I’d rather have him.

Where would Thomas fit

between the highest payed safety in the NFL and Kenny Phillips? He’s restricted to only FS and possibly CB, so u gonna bench Rolle or take a shot at him being a safety with the 15 overall pick?

by DBroncs1414 on Mar 15, 2010 2:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

Be sure to get teh highest paid safety thing in there of course. Because every single NFL safety was on the market and the Giants decided to pay Rolle the most.

Also, because Sharper is a long term fit at 34 years old (and having offseason surgery) and OJ Otogwe was a great option because waiting 7 days for the team to match is an excellent strategy.

Kenny Phillips is coming off IR, and probably not expected to play a bulk of the snaps. If miraculously KP does, then ET can play nickel corner.

ET played SS at Texas too…not FS, so he can be that.

by FreeBradshaw on Mar 15, 2010 3:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

Let's say KP comes back 110%

Why would ET play Nickel when we have Aaron Ross? Are you suggesting that a healthy Ross be moved to the 4th corner on the depth chart?

Pickin your brain but I think it would obviously be a BPA toss-up between Thomas/Price/Spiller

call it an embarassment of riches!!

after the 2009 debacle…all the secondary help we can get, I’m all for.

Again, not saying he’s my top candidate there…but I mean, dude said “Earl Thomas is pointless”…which is waaay off base.

Aaron Ross likes to get hurt too…

And if they all are at 110%, lets just say a Webster, TT, Rolle, KP, ET, Ross…dime secondary, would help us a bit more against the friggin Eagles.

I think they could find more time on the field for Thomas over Price (considering Tuck will probably be that nickel DT again) and as for Spiller…yea, that’s who I’d take here.

I see

Well I’d def feel better with ET in the Nickel over Bruce Johnson!

Poor mans Ed Reed > Giants backup safeties

have you seen C.C. Brown and Michael Johnson play?…if thats what you even wanna call it. They were more like spectators last season.

Kenny Phillips would probably back up as he recovers

ET could start.

Or he could sit and fill in as he develops. Or fill in at CB for depth.

Earl Thomas is better than Wilson

and safety is a bigger need.

I'm getting tired of saying this: Dick LeBeau’s system is so complex very few rookies can make an impact.

by Steel in FL on Mar 15, 2010 10:29 AM EDT reply actions  

But Clark is 30

and Troy is oft injured.

Didnt know Clark's age

And I wouldnt say Troy is injury prone

by DBroncs1414 on Mar 15, 2010 4:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

2 out of 3 seasons he's been hurt

and the season he was healthy we won the SB at 14-2. The seasons he has been hurt were 10-6 in 07 and 9-7 last year. That needs to be fixed

Vikes will happily take Pouncy.

Although why Dallas wants John Jerry over him I don’t really understand.

 Pittsburg passes on Iupati and Earl Thomas. For a CB? Really? I thought Earl Thomas could play CB if needed. That pick surprises me.

I also don’t understand Seattle taking a QB and not protecting him with a needed OT. Morgan is a great player but Seattle’s line is terrible. Trent Williams is a good RT that maybe can play LT. Iupati is a big upgrade to Seatte’s O-Line.
Overall pretty good draft. Everybody differs on some matters.

Winning is not everything but it sure feels like it sometimes

by lifelongvike on Mar 15, 2010 11:40 AM EDT reply actions  

Jerry's view is different dependin who u ask

Some have said he is only a hair behind Iupati, such as Wes Bunting with the NFP. And I have seen some say he is a 3rd. I tend to agree with Wes. He is an animal and would be a great power blocking OG. And I think Kyle Wilson has earned such a high pick, and yes, Thomas could be a CB but thats a risky thing to pick, a Safety becoming a CB. I just dont see Thomas playin S in the NFL he is way too small

by DBroncs1414 on Mar 15, 2010 2:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

It looks like McCourty's a reach...

but I really like him cause he fits more into Houston’s scheme. Plus, he’s not going to get burned like ol’ toasty Dunta.

by TexansDC on Mar 15, 2010 12:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Yea I explain my bias

But I feel he will be great and dont overlook his ST’s prowess either

by DBroncs1414 on Mar 15, 2010 2:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would love Earl Thomas here. Never really seen a mock with him dropping this far. He could make a great CB but would probably take over for Reed in the future. Good pick.

You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

Bengals

Does everybody think the Bengals are so good that the only need they have it TE?

This was a one round mock

I’m sure the other 6 rounds would take into account all of their other needs….

the point i was making is that every mock has the bengals taking Gresham

we have other needs. some bigger than TE. you mockers have to look deeper

I think most see a solid D

and what most saw in the playoffs and the end of the year, a QB who could return to being elite again..yet, has an aging Cinco at WR and basically nothing else (maybe Caldwell is the #2..and Foshii from Queens is another…and Foschii listed at 6"3 is a disservice to the NFL BTW..that dude’s a monster)

Gresham is a weapon for Carson.

I see your point tho
