Mock Draft - 4 rounds of ridiculous trades

Not bad for Ravens. I like Wilkerson for Solder, but understand why you would go OT in the first. Don’t think we would sign Asomugha because he would cost too much. We are trying to re-sign Ngata and want to get Flacco a new contract before the season is over. We will probably re-sign Wilson and carr then might have to re-sign McClain and Dawan Landry as well.

but the last time we traded up for a midget we got Sinorice Moss, who I also liked when he played at the U

First off, you forgot to give us the Titans’ 4th rounder that you stipulated in the AH trade.
About the picks, I don’t like to see mocks that go QB and WR in the 1st 2 rounds. This fails to address any of our most glaring weaknesses, namely along our OL and in our defensive front-7. It seems a bit foolish to sign Braylon Edwards and then draft a WR while drafting no help on the OL or defense. I won’t criticize you for the Cam Newton pick, because I realize it is a very popular mock selection, but I sincerely hope he’s gone by the time we pick or we pass on him.

REC’D.

Sidney Rice to the Jags I would love to see that happen
Not so sure about Palmer trade for 3rd round more likely 2nd round
But other than that I like it

Like the first two picks, though second may be a bit high for Sash. Not crazy about Nevis in the third. He’s a 3-tech DT and the Colts really need a 1-tech. Fua is a much better pick. The Colts won’t pick Rogders. Indy seems pretty dedicated to bringing back Addai and that produces a solid stable of RBs. The Colts’ run problems are due to the O-line and not the backs. Plus, Rodgers doesn’t fit what they look for in a back. Assuming there are no O-linemen worth taking, it’d probably be an attempted trade or looking to build depth somewhere on D

I’d rather them take Rahim Moore or Aaron Williams in the first, since CB is a bigger need and the talent is about similar with Cannon IMO.

2.28 New England and 3.14 Dallas

1.22. Indianapolis* (10-6) Anthony Castonzo, OT

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sherrod is the pick instead, but there’s no fault with this. Castonzo could very well be the pick if he reaches the Colts, which isn’t looking like a certainty these days, your mock notwithstanding.

2.21. Indianapolis* (10-6) Tyler Sash, S

Whereas this pick is questionable, because Sash looks lacking in speed and athleticism to merit a second round selection. I think he’s going to fall farther in the Draft than many expect, maybe the Colts draft him later on, or maybe they don’t draft him at all and it’s no big deal whatsoever.

As for who they might take instead, in this scenario with the players available, I’d probably say it’s Mikel Leshoure. He seems to hit every mark they look for except for sub-4.5 speed, but they’ll likely overlook it in the 2nd round and with his size and ability (including pass-catching).

They could also consider Danny Watkins, who you don’t have in your mock but will be drafted by some team in the second round come April 29. Luke Stocker is likely to be a second round pick as well, wouldn’t be surprised if the Colts are one of the teams that have him ranked that highly given his intelligence, his character, his size, and his ability. Also Leonard Hankerson, although I think he and Leshoure are unlikely to reach the Colts’ pick.

3.23. Indianapolis* (10-6) Drake Nevis, DT

Fantastic value in the 3rd round but doesn’t change the problem. I don’t think Nevis is on their draft board due to lack of intelligence and maybe concerns about him not playing up to snuff until his senior year. The Colts look for players who fit their system/team, and for all of Nevis’ physical talents, he doesn’t seem to fit.

Who instead? I’d probably point to Jarvis Jenkins of Clemson. I’m hoping he’s there at the Colts’ 3rd round pick but I’m not expecting it, but he’d be a good tackle for them to add with his combination of size, stamina, quick first step, and run-stopping ability. Although ideally they may be looking for a shorter 1-technique, for better leverage, and there is a guy I have my eye on. But if the Colts are unable to re-sign either Daniel Muir or Antonio Johnson, Jenkins could be a viable candidate to start.

The aforementioned Luke Stocker could be another consideration here, although I’ll be surprised if he falls this far come Draft Day Two.

4.22. Indianapolis* (10-6) Jacquizz Rodgers, RB

Could be a fit and the value is great, although Jordan Todman (who I didn’t spot in your mock) might be ranked higher on their board, but Todman could/would be taken earlier. Good call not putting Kendall Hunter here though, he doesn’t have the intelligence.

Good picks for Baltimore, I wouldn’t mind that draft at all. But the Ravens signing Asomugha? Not sure that is going to happen man. While I would LOVE it, we just have too many other priorities to take care of like Ngata, Flacco, Rice, Grubbs and so on. But if Ozzie made that move, man would it be a dream come true.

One more thing, you have Arizona signing Marc Bulger AND trading for Carson Palmer? Don’t think that would happen with Arizona, they would just keep one of them as their starter.

hate Aaron Williams, not really that great, I’d prefer Marvin Austin there, Austin-Dareus would be a beast DT tandem. I think McDaniel has established himself as a 3rd rounder, so there may be a bit of a reach. I like Sturdivant in the 3rd.

I like the trade for Kolb to move up and take prince, but there is no way we would leave the first round without grabbing some help for our O line with Solder on the board, I think Mudd can take him and turn him into something amazing. Also, we have an above average D line already, why throw more DE’s in there the first two rounds when we have other, more pressing needs?

Luiget is a terrible fit for us. Should have given us Heyward or traded down.

Man I’m not big on Carson.. but I think a team like Az with Anderson, Hall and Skelton would be willing to trade a 2nd for him.. and think that may be close to his value.
It would have to be atleast a 2nd for Bengals to part with Palmer.. so be fair man even to the small market Bengals. :D

Bowers, Paea and Sheppard could really have an impact early. Only thing is I would hope for a QB somewhere. If we do get Haynesworth in a trade, I think Ponder would be the pick there instead of Paea.

Good work bro

Was that Tennessee’s 4th & 6th in NEXT years draft ?? lol…rec.d

The best right tackle in the draft w/o doubt, a physcial freak that should add beef and become a sack machine (that gives us 2!), a raw but very fast and talented WR, and a good corner to develop. Love it.

Would take this draft. Thanks for all your hard work

Why is it that everyone thinks the Vikings are going to give up their first round pick for the overrated Kevin Kolb? This is not going to happen. Kolb has had TWO good games period. They were really good games against bad defenses but he still did it.

He has thrown more INTs than TDs yet many of the “sheep” just follow along with the dimwit media and prop up this guy like he is the second coming. Why?

If he was that good why is Philly getting rid of him? He is younger than Vick and should have more upside right? And Vick has a tendency to get hurt. Yet Kolb is getting moved.

Go figure.

I just wish some people would think for themselves. Kolb is not that good and has yet to play a full season but somehow he has improved his draft stock.

If the Vikings give them anything for Kolb it would be to swap first round picks this year and give Philly a 2nd in 2012. But even with that I would pass. I would rather draft Ponder or Locker or Mallett. In 3 years they can be just like Kolb.

Worth a higher pick than their original draft position without doing anything.

I think you kind of missed on more than one occasion with Miami. They currently have a very talented young and deep CB group and adding a first round pick is a little over the top. Also your 4th round pick of Pettis probably won’t happen as the team is looking for burners not bigger WR as they have enough of them already.

In this scenario I could see them going

1. Mark Ingram .. BPA and will still fill the need of a big RB with Williams providing speed
3. Clint Boiling .. they need interior line help and he fits the bill, doesn’t have to be a C as Incognito maybe able to fill that role.
4.a Andy Dalton QB .. don’t see him slipping this far but they would want to add a QB
4.b Lance Kendricks TE .. also don’t see him falling this far but he would be the complement that Fasano is missing

but instead of having us sign Sidney Rice, can you please NOT have us sign Sidney Rice? Do not want.

I like the mock for us a decent amount. Solid value at each pick. I’d personally have Ponder over Watt at 16, Sheard over Sands at 80.

Also, where is Edmond Gates? I have him above Sands at 80 as well.

Personal preference re-mock:

1. Christian Ponder
2. Brooks Reed
…………[/jump for joy]
3. Jabaal Sheard
4a. Edmond Gates
4b. Curtis Marsh

Props for the four rounds, and even more props for doing TRADES. So hard to predict, but it makes the mock more interesting! Good job on this mock.

As a Lions fan, I like the trades that you had my team do, although I don’t like who you picked with those three third rounders.

Sticking with the positions you drafted, although Mayhew really does not work that way, I would take;
CB – Curtis Marsh over Davon House. Much higher upside and Lions won’t get an immediate starter down here anyway.
OLB – KJ Wright over Mark Herzlich. Sorry, I don’t share a lot of people’s optimism on Herzlich’s recovery. I would love for it to happen, and fully admit that he would fit perfectly on the Lions……if he is back to 100%.
WR – Greg Little over Randall Cobb. Cobb is more of a slot guy. Detroit is looking for a true # 2 WR so Burleson can man the slot. Edmond Gates could be another option too.

I don’t want to sound greedy, but I would love the Lions to make the trade with the Giants that Houston made. Then the Lions could take John Moffitt C/G in the third, Marsh with the fourth, and Henry Hynoski FB with the sixth round pick.

the jets are known for trading down in the draft. funny that the guy who posted this is a giant fan, and the giants make as ton of trades, even though i can’t remember the last time the giants made a trade

they would take cameron heyward and brooks reed over who ever you gave us. i’ve also seen many drafts with phil taylor going to the jets at 30, so i don’t know how he got to 11. i also find it funny that the first O-Lineman is taken at 18.

I just saw Jdakings reply…yea watcha doin’ to you beloved Big Blue?
Who’s running the rock for us?
Hey nothings perfect though,keep trying.

One problem though, it makes too much sense. This is a “in the prefect world” scenario. Too bad the actual draft is never anything close.
