Mock Draft 1.0

I could live with Poe in the first.

I think Perry will be a good player in the league but will be more successful as an OLB in a team which uses a 3-4 grouping.
Brockers would be my personal choice at that pick with the board you have.

Thankfully he’s one of the WRs I want on the Texans

thinking is kind of sound although Coples is simply put an awful pick. He is not nearly the best available player. I would say that Reiff (or Kirkpatrick) is BAP and would be the selection

Perfect pick.

still think he’s too much of a titty monster to be a first rounder. Then again I hated the JPP pick (tho most people did…)

If they do, I wouldn’t be surprised if they cut Hampton if he won’t reduce his salary.

I would be okay with Kuechly, but we would be limiting him if we put him next to Daryl Washington in our 3-4 defensive scheme. Washington and Kuechly are the same type of linebacker, WILB, who is more of a sideline-to-sideline type. Kuechly, if picked, would likely be asked to play SILB, which really limits his potential. A Dont’a Hightower type would be a better fit for the SILB spot, though taking Hightower at 13 would be a big reach. The way your mock worked out, i would look at either a pure pass rushing OLB, such as Mercilus, or a #2 WR like Floyd or Sanu. Either way, not terrible, but could be better.

it is Trent Richardson. I love him as a prospect, but there is no way Shanahan spends the #6 overall pick on a RB. Not only did he seemingly hit on RBs in the 4th and 6th round last year, but he just doesn’t draft RBs in the first round.

I’m OK with the Griffin pick- I’m just not sure we can say definitively that Colt McCoy is worthless. Now, I have been off the Colt bandwagon since midseason, but I think that in all fairness if you look at what he has had to work with, I’m not sure we can know that he won’t be better than he looked last season.

My thing is, I don’t see Colt having the tools to be an elite QB in this league. Maybe average or above average, but not elite. RGIII has a canon, accuracy, speed, and he is really smart and disciplined and works hard. I think if we take RGIII it is because our front office thinks he will end up being a great QB, not because Colt is a worthless QB.

and its not even linked.

and I think the Cowboys might be wise to pass on him if he is there. The more I read, the more it seems people are pointing out that a really soft schedule for Alabama last year (in terms of passing offenses played) inflated Dre’s apparent level of play.

For instance, KC Joyner scouted seven of his college games (the seven best offenses faced) and found that last year Dre allowed about 6.6 yards per attempt. Regardless of what you think about KC Joyner, there are cornerbacks that had a better yards per attempt mark in the NFL.

Now, if the Cowboys want to convert him to FS than perhaps I could get behind that to a small degree, but I don’t think if I would take that risk at #14. I would rather look to upgrade our pass rush. Hopefully when the real draft comes around Coples and Ingram won’t go as high as they did in this mock.

Considering Ingram and Upshaw went early, I think there’s a lot of value there.
