4 Round Mock of Champions


I promised myself I wouldn't mock until the Giants were out of it. Oh well. If the Giants lose, you can blame me. My bad. New England fans, I expect a check in the mail.

Only one trade: Washington trades up with St. Louis for the 2nd pick. St. Louis gets Washington's 2012 and 2013 1st and 2nd rounders.

The only real surefire 3rd round compensatory pick would be Oakland for Nnamdi Asomugha, so I added that in. Also, I felt bad for them.

Constructive criticism always appreciated.

    Chiefs draft is interesting.

    We don’t need another pass rusher with Houston showing lots of promise his rookie season and we have quality depth there already. That said its a tough spot for us. If i redrafted i would do this.

    1. Decastro, G
    2. Orson Charles, TE
    3. Dontari Poe, NT
    4. Brandon Mosley, RT

    Appreciate the feedback mate. I figured you guys would be good at pass rusher

    Only reason I gave you Irvin is because I had a low first round grade on him, so it was BPA. Also subscribe to the theory of “can’t have enough pass rushers” and adding Irvin would give you a nice rotation.

    I didn’t know you guys needed a TE because of Moeaki….

    We do have Moeaki but he has had injury issues in college and now he had a knee injury this season.

    TE is an important part of our offense and Charles is a very good blocker as well. Just adding more weapons for when we are smart enough to take a franchise QB. Hopefully trading up next year for Barkley.

    Jags

    1)I am a big fan of the pick. At this point, Jags fans as a whole might push more for Coples, but Martin is a safer pick IMO and the value is definitely there.
    2)Another nice pick. Gilmore is going to fall a bit, and the Jaguars should be ecstatic to get him with their second round pick.
    3)Once again, a nice pick. Fills a need and represents good value.
    4)WHY?!! You had to go ahead and ruin the streak of good picks. Fuller has totallly destroyed his draft stock, and should not be the pick there. Just about any other WR would be a better pick. Streeter, Hill, Wright, Givens, Joe Adams, TY Hilton all come to mind as better WRs to take.

    Jags are always a trouble team for me...so at least I got a 3/4 and the 4th need right. I'll take that as a win.

    I think Fuller hurt his stock, but he still has great upside. I can see the other dudes too, though.

    I am a tough critic for the team

    and I really must say you did a nice overall job. TO be very honest, just this past Friday I mocked Fuller to the jags, but after a poor performance at the senior bowl, I really think it put him out of consideration unless he is there in the 6th round or something like that.

    Giants draft is OK

    I’d go with Sanu over Jones right now. Jones weigh ins hurt him (hands) and Sanu has gigantic hands.

    Ronnel Lewis is a terrible pick. I dunno what made you go there. He’s a slower Clint Sintim. Massie or Potter are sitting right there.

    Green and Martin is nice.

    by Rorschach44 on Jan 29, 2012 6:20 PM EST reply actions  

    I'm still not sold on Sanu as a 1st rounder. I think the physical skillset that Jones has in terms of size/speed

    would make him a better fit for our offense. I see Sanu as a slightly larger, slower Victor Cruz. We could use a burner with some size to replace Manningham. I don’t see Sanu stretching defenses the way HAM does to help out Nicks/Cruz. I can see Dwight doing that.

    I happen to like Lewis. I liked the Sintim pick in 2009 as well. I never bought into the square peg in round hole theory that people kept saying, I just didn’t like Sintim after his ACL injury. I like Lewis to replace Kiwi, who moves in at DE once Osi leaves. Massie would also have been value there, so I suppose I could have picked him. I have Potter as a 3rd round pick, so no BPA there.

    by BigBlueIntervention on Jan 29, 2012 6:26 PM EST up reply actions  

    If we go for a SAM, I want a real SAM

    Audie Cole and Keenan Robinson are good choices at the end of the third. I think Green is getting attention just because he was so much larger than his competition.

    In the 2nd, not much talent around. I’d be on board with Massie. Potter I do not like.

    Jones in the 1st is good. Martin is a great pick in the 4th, unfortunately, I think he goes much earlier.

    Keenan Robinson is not a SAM

    he’s undoubtedly a 3 down LBeezer and I think the Briggs comparisons are spot on. He’ll be a Daryl Washington type steal for some team.

    Sanu is pretty fast for his size

    Very ellusive, physical, and a returner.
    he is a much better fit for the giants offense than any WR in this draft.
    he can play as the 1 or 2 WR on either side. or u can put him in the slot.

    it would be cruz stretching the D, with sanu and Hakeem being the guys on the edge

    +1 on the Sanu over Jones and general disagreement with Brother in Blue BBI's draft for us

    Sanu IS explosive, while Jones’ height/weight/speed sound good,he is Ramses Barden 2.0 imho
    I too liked the Sintim pick at the time,but i now know that i am wrong.He is 34 material and nickel DE but only for teams who don’t have what we do in the DL dept.

    Had a mind-gasm reading this.

    Jones would be awesome, and I’d only swap him for Sanu or Allen, but I think all 3 are exchangeable. Idk about the 2nd, if we go OLB, I’ve heard good things about David, who goes a pick later, but I doubt the Giants go LB in the 2nd either, so maybe Bobbie Massie there? Seems like with some work he’d do great at RT. 3rd and 4th picks would be stunning, and just make our offense unstoppable.

    by #56 4life on Jan 29, 2012 6:20 PM EST reply actions  

    David is like 225 lbs...so he'd be a WILL only. We've got Jacquian and Boley for that. If we go LB, I want a SAM only....or maybe MIKE if Kuechly falls.

    I went purely BPA, and this is how it fell for me. Massie could’ve been a nice pick in the 2nd as well, I’ll admit. We definitely would be an offensive juggernaut though with these picks…I’d be excited.

    I think that's been the point some of us (Giant fans) have been trying to make

    We’ve been building our defense through the draft for years, and like ct17 said in his awesome post about our draft history, The LB position is weak because we want it to be, and hell I would even argue that it isn’t weak, so why we keep getting linebackers in the 1st miffs me. It’s time to start making our offense unstoppable. We (Eli) have done so well with the weapons at his disposal, and the only one of those weapons that is a first round pick is Nicks. If we put an emphasis on offense throughout the next few drafts, we’ll be an amazing team.

    This

    I did like how your board fell though BBI, also, It would be interesting to see if the Eagles could keep from jumping up to grab Coples if he is there past 10. I can’t be mad with Kuechly (even though im not sure he is a great player at the next level) but there were alot of other names that could have gained the pick: Coples(trade up),Still (Trade up), Floyd, Jefferey, Brockers and trading back in this draft would’ve also been an option in the first.

    2nd- Dwanye Allen (trade up), Zach Miller(trade up). With the way the board fell I would take Alameda Ta’amu (proved he can play in our system at the Senior Bowl) and one of the WR left: Brian Quick, Marvin McNutt.

    3rd-Damn, ALL the LB’s got snatched before we got there, I would’ve taken anyone of them.

    ok, the giants suck.

    Thanks for the feedback brother, definitely will keep it mind.

    Not doing trades till I get a better idea of what teams like what prospects….but yeah, Ta’amu makes a ton of sense actually. Plug him in next to Jenkins, and you get a much better run defense.

    Titans

    First round that was fine.
    2nd was ok, we need a WR, but alot of us are high on McNutt from Iowa.
    3rd we may lose a CB in Finney but we dont need to draft one right away, other things are higher needs.
    4th we just took a RB in the 4th round last year, CJ gets a pass for the ’11 season, if we need a RB after this year we will probably look at Monte Ball.

    Re-draft for Baltimore

    1. Mark Barron S
    2. Ronnell Lewis LB
    3. Mitch McCants

    The more and more negative stuff I read about Burfict, the more I think he doesn’t go in the 1st round.

    Flacco has to trust his receivers to make catches, but shouldn’t throw towards coverage. He needs to attack deep more often, but shouldn’t hold onto the ball so long. He needs to show more awareness in the pocket and move to extend plays, but nothing good comes of him leaving the pocket. He should run with the ball if nobody’s open, but he definitely can’t run with the ball.

    Flacco should have the awareness of Roethlisberger, the elusiveness of Vick, the control of the offense of Manning, the leadership of Brady, the accuracy of Brees, and the arm strength of … Flacco? - Ampallang

    by Mr MaLoR on Jan 29, 2012 7:01 PM EST reply actions  

    I sure hope so, because he has a chance to be a great player if he gets his head on straight. Ronnell Lewis has quickly became one of my favorites in this draft because it seems like he could play all LB positions.

    You have a good bit of guys though going in the 3rd round/early 4th that probably won’t go until 5th or 6th such as Bishaw Johnson and Ryan Miller.

    I know Texans need depth at the Offensive Line, but you don't draft depth in the first two rounds

    Replace that 1st round pick with Mohammed Sanu, then the Texans draft would make more sense. I have no problem with Chapman & Fleener, except I doubt either of them will drop that far down

    He’s been plagued by foot injuries. Do we really need another player with foot injuries in Houston after Yao & Schaub? The way this board plays out, Sanu is gone to Indy with the #2 pick in the 2nd. The only way could trade back is if the Texans could negotiate a trade for the two 2nds that the Rams have (theirs & Washington’s 2nd from the RGIII trade) for the Texans 1st & 2nd picks

    Very interesting mock, you clearly know what we need and do your best to address it. In the second it goes Sanu, Minnifield, Brown. I don’t think we could go wrong with any of those three, and with Reggie Wayne’s likely departure, Sanu would be a good pick. In the third, Brandon Boykin, Ryan Broyles and LaMichael are all on the board provide necessary explosiveness, and given Grigson’s history at the Eagles I don’t think we can rule it out.

    Excellent effort.

    Vikings

    I am failing to see why the Vikings would draft another DE. Maybe Lindsey can play OLB but seems like a better fit for a team playing a 3-4 defense that needs a rush LB. The Vikings would be better off taking Keenan Robinson in the 4th round to play LB.

    I think I would go ..

    Kalil
    Gilmore
    Poe
    Robinson

    by MarkSP18 on Jan 29, 2012 11:01 PM EST reply actions  

    was going to mention that, as well

    DE is arguably the last thing we need, even in a BPA situation.

    i wouldn’t be unhappy with Kalil/Minnifield/Criner, or Kalil/Gilmore/Poe (i’d probably lean slighly toward the latter; Poe would be value in the 3rd over Criner).

    i’ve been really partial to Casey Hayward over any CB in the 2nd, though, even more so now after the Senior Bowl. Bobby Wagner looked great, too — if he was there in the 3rd (went just before us in this mock), that’d be a great pickup from the looks of it.

    i thought Glenn was more of a Guard prospect...

    we’re too hard-pressed for a true LT. the only way we trade down is if the Rams take Kalil (and trade down we would, in that scenario, since we’d hold all the chips for RG3). in that instance, Reiff would be my favored pick.

    Osemele would be a nice pickup; he could even replace Loadholt should he decide to continue crapping the bed in pass protection. but i think we need to guarantee a good DB prospect before going back-to-back OLine.

    as far as Safety goes, i like what Mistral showed at the end of last season — and as he’s a better fit at FS, drafting a guy like Harrison Smith at SS would be a better compliment (though i’m biased toward HSmith).

    someone over at DN mentioned Brandon Brooks, too — i have to look into him more (he’s a big boy also at 350+… gotta keep an eye on whether or not his weight is an issue).

    Not bad. Glad we got Kalil. Second round I like Minnifield, but I want to make sure the knee checks out. It would be tough to pass on Zach Brown there. But I understand why you went corner. Right now I have Stephen Gilmore rated higher, like I say until Chase’s knee checks out.
    3rd round is a good time to look at WR, and Criner is a decent pick. I still would rather bolster the defense. Josh Chapman, Poe or Kendall Reyes would be good picks. We need help at DT.
    If you want to give us a DE, probably should have gone with Cam Johnson in the 3rd. New DC Alan Williams was really high on him at the Senior Bowl.
    Could have gone a couple of different ways in the 4th. I didnt suggest a WR yet so maybe Jarius Wright. Safety could use an upgrade so maybe Winston Guy or Antonio Allen. If we miss out on Zach Brown in the 2nd, I wouldnt mind Nigel Bradham.

    Giants

    The WR desire is weird to me.

    Right now our (most important FA) are Thomas, Ross, Goff, Manningham.

    Right now our WR depth looks like this: Nicks, Cruz, Jernigan, Barden, Thomas.

    Our CB Depth is:

    Webster, Amukamara…??

    I think Gilmore’s a great fit for our system. He’s big, fast, versatile and would also solve the punt return problem. Either him or Jernigan returns punts next year.

    I like Sanu, but his skill set and abilities are similar to that of Cruz/Nicks (same type of player), Unless Kendall Wright is available there I don’t see a WR worth taking (I mean unless Floyd of Jefferey miraculously falls) to make me think any of the players avilable are Best Player Available Enough for me to say the Giants should/would take a WR.

    I like Allen at the end of round one, but not as much as Gilmore. Unless the Giants bring back Thomas and/or Ross, but this will be Thomas second A.C.L. recovery…will he be the same player ever again? I’d rather have the backup skill there.

    Also a crazy thought, but maybe Burce Irvin works for the Giants. They don’t use a typical Sam Linebacker anyway and I know Irvin can rush the passer and I think he can play the run standing up as well. No one thought Von Miller fit the 43 and he does, maybe Irvin fits the Gmen 43.

    We have his value differently

    Russ Lande is with me.

    Keep in mind that Russ Lande at one point had Dwight Jones proejcted as the #6 overall pick during the season.

    Dwight Jones, WR, North Carolina, 6-3, 226, 4.60 40 time; projected fourth- or fifth-round pick

    “For a player who came to Mobile competing to be one of the first receivers drafted after Justin Blackmon, he definitely didn’t help his stock. He not only lacked quickness off the ball, but he did not run his routes with aggressiveness and often seemed to lack urgency in his play. He was consistently upright and stiff running routes and lacked burst out of cuts to get any separation. He needs to really step up the rest of the spring to avoid sliding further on draft boards.”

    I’ve read that a few other times about scouts saying Jones doesn’t know how to run routes. That won’t fly in New York.

    I’ll pass on Jones

    Mario Manningham was a little slow on the learning process as well

    but he learned how to run routes and turned out to be a pretty damn good WR for us, an Dwight Jones can fit that same mold. We have the coaching, and with some time he’d develop into a huge weapon for Eli. This would make him an idoneous draft pick for many teams, especially the Giants.

    A bad senior bowl has this guy dropping like a stone

    But he’s very talented and can make plays, and whoever the jabroni throwing the ball to him at UNC is, well he is nowhere NEAR as good as Eli, and I think all Giants fans can agree that Eli makes his WR’s even better than they actually are, so having Eli at the helm would help Jones develop.

    This dude is 6'4 210lbs and runs in the 4.4-4.45 range.

    raw route runner, but he’ll learn. Senior Bowl shouldn’t hold against him too much once teams see him at the combine.

    Sanu is a good route runner, but doesn’t have near the same physical tools as Jones. I’ll give him his hands and body control. I think his upside is more limited than Jones.

    On top of that, he’d be taking up the same spot as Victor Cruz, where his talents could be utilized. We don’t want that. We want a field stretcher. Someone with a physical skillset that makes the safety think twice about covering someone else.

    The one position where the Browns are set with best guy in the league is LT. Picking one 4th overall, with all their many other needs, is therefore not smart. And although they could use a RT, you don’t take an RT that early.

    having two franchise bookend tackles in the same division as the Steelers, Ravens, and even Bengals with Carlos Dunlap seemed like a real good idea to me. I can see Blackmon too though.

    Safety too

    I also think if Perry Fewell is the Defensive Coordinator next year the Giants should draft a Safety as well. Grant is old and Sash might not have enough physical ability to play meaningful snaps on defense.

    Fewell uses the 3 S set a lot, and he used a lot with the Bills too. It’s an important part of the Giants defense. I’d be good with Barron if he fell to the Giants, but also part of the reason I like Gilmore is because some scouts/analysts believe he can move to S as well and I agree. He can really tackle and has good size.

    Lastly, Come On Man. You couldn’t last one more week. If the Giants lose I’ll be blaming you for sure!

    I don't really think Safety would be a first round pick in this draft

    Barron is the best one, but I don’t think he’d be BPA. The Giants can hold off a year or pick up a vet safety in FA for next year, no reason to spend a 1st rounder on one this year

    we disagree on Barron's value

    I think I can justify Mark Barron going as high as 16 to the Jets, so to me 31st or 32nd is plenty value

    by EliManCrushing on Jan 30, 2012 6:51 PM EST up reply actions  

    Eh, I guess we do differ on his value

    I just don’t see him as the guy who would make the biggest impact out of all the guys left here. Also, in this case, Barron doesn’t even fall to us, so in this particular situation, it would be a moot point.

    Well of course he is

    But I don’t think I want him with our 1st round pick.

    Seahawks

    I’d be pretty pissed if we spent a top-12 pick on a RB.

    I'ld be happy with Richardson

    We need another RB besides Lynch, and Lynch won’t hold up forever. With Cable’s ZBS it seems it would be to our benefit to get another RB. Many Seahawks fans, though, would argue that could be addressed later because RB is deeper than DE/DT guys we would be looking at. However, Richardson’s talent is possibly that much better than any other RB in this draft that I still might consider this if I thought I still could get good DE/DTs in 2nd – 4th.
    The QB talent doesn’t excite me though, and think you’re just as likely to find a comparable QB in the 5th as you are in the 2nd round.

    Lions

    I like the picks.. for the most part.
    =Jenkins, he’s the man if available. totally a bpa pick
    =Jones, I think he’s the firebrand type they like at C, it’s like Raiola with size and strength, good call. 2nd choice by who’s available on yours would be Datko. Then again they already have a prospect brought in with an injury to develop at LT in Fox.
    =Smith, I think he’s a good fit for them. I’m not sure they want to move past Spievey with a rookie at this point rather than veteran to push, but s’all good. 2nd choice might be a guy like Brandon Brooks OG (I’d actually prefer him..)
    =Bradham, this is the only of your picks for them that I hated. I don’t view him as their type of LB at all. They like a faster playing johnney on the spot type guy, that’s not Bradham. I see a much better option in Doug Martin RB although I’m not sure they’re prepared to give up on Best or LeShoure. Another good option could have been Josh Norman CB (even tho they already got Jenkins, Norman could be viewed as a big BPA pick at this pot if he’s still around).

    Solid mock tho

    Denver

    Dont like the mock that much.
    The 1st round I am ok with. I think Thompson would upgrade the D line but it is a small reach. Think he is a top of the 2nd round guy.
    Not a huge fan of Datko, would prefer Hayward with your board at that pick, although think a O lineman could be taken at some point.
    I think Denver can improve their roster a lot better than by adding a WR in the 3rd.
    Also cant see Gray going ahead of Doug Martin. That being said Martin will probably go in the 2nd round after his senior bowl week.

    for WR

    I would actually consider it a need at this point. Royal’s an FA who probably won’t be back. Willis is unproven, and after that we have no one. We need to get at least 2-3 new WR’s into camp, and Rueben Randle in the 3rd would be huge for us.

    Agreed on Datko though, Franklin finished off the season too well to draft another OT, unless that pick was made for replacing Clady. He’s an FA too but you gotta figure they’d tag him before letting him walk

    C'mon, join us, there's plenty of koolaid on the Broncos bandwagon for everyone!

    I would just like to see a few veterans brought in at WR and if bringing a WR in through the draft maybe a little later and a guy with blistering speed.
    That said I accept Randle would be one of the better players on the board at that point.

    I like Datko but not sure about the injuries...

    I’m Ok aith Thomson and think Randle would be a great value pick in the third. Ideally, I’d still like to move Franklin to guard and get a better blindside tackle.

    There are no apostrophes in plurals.
    A lot is two words. Allot can be one word but it has another meaning.
    The only time you really want to use "myself" is when you are the recipient of your own action. Usually you're better off using "me."
    Your is not the correct contraction of you are. The word you're looking for is you're.
    It's anyway, not anyways.

    I have Datko as a late 2nd rounder, so it made sense to me. I was thinking the same thing as 1993.

    Orlando Franklin played admirably and was great at runblocking for Tebow. I think Datko could upgrade his pass protection though.

    First Round IMO

    Im surprised this mock isnt getting more praise. Its really hard to do a 2 round let alone a 4 round mock.

    Cleveland at 4 I say goes Blackmon or trades to a team wanting Blackmon.
    Skins then go with the OT so not a huge change.
    I like Ingram much more than Mercelius for Buffalo at 10
    Only picks I really dont like are Seattle and Cincy. Seattle made me look twice to make sure I read it twice. Lynch was a pure beast last year and Seattle isnt the kind of team that can afford to have 2 great RBs. They have many other needs I think Coples or Still has to be the pick there. With Richardson then falling I think the Bengals need to take him over the most overrated CB in the draft IMO Alfanzo Denard He was brutal during Senior Bowl week and I’ll be shocked if hes drafted in the first round. Why not Jenkins if you wanted Cincy to get a CB?

    Overall very good mock only a few issues which is rare Rec’d
