2 Round Mock

The Giants won the Super Bowl, and that makes me a happy camper. But now that the season is over, it's draft time. Only trade is the Skins moving up and giving the Rams their 1st, 2nd, and 4th round picks.
Round One
1) Colts: Andrew Luck - Sorry Colts fans, must be boring knowing who your first round pick is going to be. But don't be too upset, you're getting one of the best QB prospects to come out of the draft in quite a while.
2) Redskins: Robert Griffin III - Unfortunately the Skins get their QB of the future. I mean unfortunately for the Giants. For the Redskins, they get a great deal
3) Vikings: Matt Kalil - I don't know how good Ponder really is, but we'll never find out if he keeps getting introduced to the turf. Kalil is the best Tackle in the draft and will go a long way to protecting the young QB.
4) Browns: Justin Blackmon - Colt McCoy is no great shakes, but who exactly is he throwing to? With a real #1 WR to throw to, maybe he'll be able to show something. Blackmon is the best WR in this draft class, which I think is saying something because this WR draft class is pretty good.
5) Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne - Barber is quite old, and Talib is going to end up spending more time in a cell then on a field, so I think the Bucs grab the all around most talented CB in this draft.
6) Rams: Johnathan Martin - Bradford is a talented guy, but he won't be able to show his talent if he keeps getting crushed by 300 pound lineman. The Rams pick up extra picks from the trade with Washington, and also invest in their O-Line's and QB's future.
7) Jaguars: Quinton Coples - Honestly I don't care for Coples, but he's very athletic and when motivated, is definitely a top 10 pick. The Jags get an extremely talented guy here, just gotta get him fired up.
8) Miami: Reilly Reiff - One of the "Big Three" tackles in this draft class, he helps protect either Matt Moore, who to be honest wasn't all that bad this year, or Peyton Manning, who I think will likely end up in Miami to play out the end of his career in warm, sunny weather. Reiff is a good investment and will preform at a high level in the NFL.
9) Panthers: Dre Kirkpatrick - Character concerns? Please. Smoking a plant isn't a huge character concern in my book, not like the guy doesn't want to play football. Other than Claiborne, he's the best CB in this draft, and will help when it comes time to play Drew Brees and Matt Ryan twice a year.
10) Bills: Courtney Upshaw - Back to back Bama players picked here, and for a good reason. Bama had the best D in the country, and a lot of guys from there are going to be playing very well in the NFL. Upshaw is no exception, he'll give the Bills a tremendous player to add to their front seven.
11) Chiefs: David DeCastro - He's the best interior lineman in the draft, and is the only Guard/Center that deserves to go this high. Will most likely be a perennial Pro Bowler for 15+ years.
12) Seahawks: Trent Richardson - Wanna see something cool? Watch the One-Two punch running game that would be Richardson and Lynch. Defenses will wear down trying to tackle the high motored Lynch and the VERY powerful Trent Richardson. Did I mention that Trent is the best RB in the draft? No? Well he sure is.
13) Cardinals: Michael Floyd - Floyd is my favorite WR in the draft, he's got height and good speed, and is going to be a dominate player in the NFL. Put him next to a WR who is already one of the most dominant in the NFL, and you have a winning combination there.
14) Cowboys: Janoris Jenkins - The Boys have been having a hard time covering teams, and that's putting it very nicely. In a division that has Nicks, Cruz, Desean, Maclin, Moss (lol), and many others, the Cowboys need to stop ignoring this problem and address it with a very talented CB in Jenkins.
15) Eagles: Luke Kuechly - If the Cowboys have a DB problem, then the Eagles definitely have an LB problem. The Eagles have a dominate front four, and if they grab a guy with Kuechly's instincts and level of play, they'll have not only a dominate front four, but a dominate front seven. Scary stuff.
16) Jets: Melvin Ingram - The Jets have a very good run stopping defense, but their pass rush is nonexistent. Enter Ingram, who is a pass rushing nightmare and will help the Jets bury some QB's. This pick will go a long way in helping the Jets D out. Unfortunately this pick won't make Sanchez any better.....I kid, I kid.
17) Bengals (From Oakland): Alphonzo Dennard - There are some knocks on him for not being able to flip his hips and keep up with Receivers after they get by him, but with a little work, he can be a huge help to the Bengals secondary, and helps stiffen up their defense.
18) Chargers: Nick Perry - I think the Chargers are a team with a lot of holes. Jammer is getting old, they could use a DB, their offense leaves something to be desired, they could use another big play maker. But most of all, they could use a pass rusher. Nick Perry is a proven pass rusher and will improve the Chargers ability to get to the QB.
19) Bears: Alshon Jeffery - Hester and Knox are good WR's, but there is no true #1 guy for Cutler to throw to. Most of the Bears offense is Matt Forte. It's time to add another weapon to the Bears offense, and Jeffery has all the tools to be a very good WR.
20) Titans: Peter Konz - The Titans need to sure up their interior O-Line, and Peter Konz is a pretty good answer to their problems. Can play Center or Guard, and will help the middle of that O-Line is no time.
21) Bengals: Lamar Miller - Cedric Benson is old, and I'm not sure if he'll even be back as a Bengal next year. Other than that, the Bengals need to find a new RB, and besides Richardson, Miller is the only other RB I feel comfortable mocking in the 1st round.
22) Browns (From ATL) : Mike Adams - Like I said, Colt McCoy isn't the best in the world, but giving him Blackmon earlier and Adams now, he may end up looking a lot better. Adams is becoming a popular 1st round pick, and I like the guy too. Will be a very good tackle for years to come.
23) Lions: Zach Brown - I know the Lions need secondary help, but I don't feel there are any DB's that should go in this spot, so why not make an already terrifying front seven even scarier? Brown's athleticism and speed means he'll be all over the field, filling in wherever Suh and Co. are not.
24) Steelers: Michael Brockers - The Steelers are famed for their defense, always have been. So here they take on of the most talented D-Linemen in the draft. Brockers was a stand out on one of the best defenses in the country. Yeah, he's going to be good.
25) Broncos: Devon Still - As much hype as Tebow got this year ( I personally like the guy but my judgment on him as a player is suspended until next year) it was really the Bronco's defense that did all the dirty work. Still can make an already solid defense into a very dangerous one.
26) Texans: Dwight Jones - A lot of people are down on him, but I think Jones has a good skill set, and would do well playing opposite of Andre Johnson. He fits the Texans scheme, and would be a solid pick here for Houston.
27) Patriots (From N.O): Whitney Mercilus - Wilfork is getting old, and the rest of the D-Line isn't all that great. The Pats could use some defensive talent, and Mercilus will give them a guy with a high motor and good production.
28) Packers: Vinny Curry - The Pack had an amazing offense this year, no doubt about it, but their defense was lackluster. The "bend but don't break" philosophy worked for most of the year, but in the end it didn't pan out for them. Curry is a good pass rusher and would compliment Raji and Matthews well.
29) Ravens: Vontaze Burfict - Baltimore gets a very talented athlete who is falling due to character concerns and a bad senior year, but that doesn't mean this guy doesn't have the tools to be successful. In a defense known for its vicious hits, and a guy like Ray Lewis to mentor him for a few years, Taze may make an already nasty defense even nastier.
30) 49'ers: Chase Minnifield - The only real knock on this guy is injury concerns, but other than that he's definitely worth a first round pick. San Fran could use another solid piece in their defensive backfield, and that would just make their defense even scarier.
31) Patriots: Mohammed Sanu - Other than their two tight end system that they have in Gronk and Hernandez, and their slot guy in Welker, I don't think Tom Brady has all that many weapons to throw to. Sanu would be a great target for Brady, and that's scary to think about.
32) Giants: Dwayne Allen - My Giants won the Super Bowl, and honestly I couldn't be happier. But it's a new season and if they want to do it again, it sure wouldn't help to give Eli another target to throw to. Allen would give the Giants offense an extra dimension that would give defenses fits all game long.

Jags
While I do think Reiff would be more likely to be the pick, I think Coples IS a good pick and makes a ton of sense if the Jags stay @ 7.
In the second, despite liking what I see out of Norman, I am not sure he is 2nd round material. I even would go so far as to say Gene Smith does not shock us and take him in the 2nd round. Given how things fall, I would say Andre Branch or Juron Criner could be the pick.

The Denver D did all the dirty work?
the same one that ranked 2nd to last in pts per game (24.4) among playoff teams? It was a team effort, the same people who say Tebow did most of the work are as ignorant as the people who say the D did. The D was way too inconsistent and for every Chiefs/Bears/Phins game (anemic O’s anyway) they had games such as against the Packers/Bills (yes, they got shredded by the Bills)/Lions/Pats 2×.
With that said, like the Still pick. Not thrilled with the Fleener pick but I wouldn’t complain. Would rather have Polk but I wouldn’t mind that pick.
C'mon, join us, there's plenty of koolaid on the Broncos bandwagon for everyone!
"Yea, well, you know, that’s just like, uh, your opinion, man"
-The Big Lebowski
Some teams destroyed us with personnel mismatches...
Like the Patriots did. But it was the improvement on ‘D’ that got us back to respectability. I like Tebow, too (with a few reservations) but it was our ability to rush the quarterback that impressed me.
I love the Still pick and I see the reasoning behind Fleener in the 2nd. I’d rather have David Wilson but you’re not wrong.
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.
But if you only remember one thing...
There are no apostrophes in plurals.
cowboys should not pass up poe in the second round
we would finally get a true nose tackle and the best one in the draft and we could finally move rat out to end and let him play his natural position for once. other then that i like jenkins a lot and i like irvin just not if poes on the board
Demarcus Ware- making Sheli Manning piss his pants since 2005
Hmm, I considered Poe there
But honestly I thought Ratliff was doing a pretty good job there, and that yall weren’t satisfied with Spencer, and could use more pass rush talent in Irvin.
I must disagree and agree at the same time.
Poe would allow Rat to move to DE and creat a passrush while collapsing the pocket as well as freeing Spencer from the OT! Getting Poe fixes three positions at once and improves the DB play due to a would be fierce passrush! Even Newman could look good with a front 7 of:
Ratliff-Poe-Hatcher
Spencer-Carter-Lee-Ware
Dallas would have the best LB and DL core in football!

good job. the only thing you’ll hear is that RT is the #1 need… so they’ll need one early.

Don't you get the sense they'll try to trade down?

Pats
Good analysis of the Pats offense. It’s a between-the-numbers offense with just about no talent outside of the numbers except if a slot guy or a TE is out there. Pats need true WRs and I expect them to draft 2 this year and sign Brandon Lloyd. I still refuse to believe BB will use the 31st pick unless a ridiculous talent has dropped. With that said, I think Sanu should be ranked higher than Alshon Jeffery.
I won’t be shocked if the Pats get a DE/OLB, but I think they need a young DT/DE far more. I see Fletcher Cox as their most-likely target, who I just don’t see falling past either the Pats or the Packers. 3/4 DE Jared Crick is a likely target in the 2nd round if they didn’t get Cox in the 1st round. They’ll only go for 2 DE/OLBs if it’s just impossible value to pass up at the pick.
It is what it is
Ravens
Love this draft. Really hope we find a way to get Streeter or Stephen Hill. They are just what our offense is missing.
On Ed Reed:
"I’ve told him to his face many times, ‘You’re the greatest safety ever to play the game,’"
"We all learn from each other, but we all learn most from him."
- Troy Polamalu
Panthers
like the 1st, not the 2nd. I dont like Randle, poor value, plus we dont need a WR. Poe, Ta’amu, Martin, or Iloka
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was
he did, and I personally dont like the idea of taking a DT
But Poe and Ta’amu would be ridiculously great value as both are seen by many as 1st rounders
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was
Then I guess that's just our personal opinion on player then.
My thought process was surrounding Cam with as many weapons as possible, he’s already shown he’s going to be pretty good, so they need to build around him first, and let everything else fall into place.
just because you have a good player doesnt mean you need to build around him
especially since those players arent needs at all. We have a very good O-Line. Steve Smith is an elite WR, LaFell started to break out as a possession WR, our #2 going into the season miss the whole year with an ACL injury and will be back. We are pretty set on offense.
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was
I don't really go by "needs" though
But I didn’t realize yall lost you’re #2 guy. And I do think you should build around him, he’s the franchise QB, meaning that the franchise should be built around him. Now since you don’t like Randel’s value, I can see that. Thanks for your input.
Great job
I think you gave really good reasonings for all of them and I agree with a lot of your picks.
Think Poe will drop that far? Seems like he’s picking up buzz.
One thing – list positions because I’m not completely familiar with much past the first half of the first round.

I'd prefer Martin from Boise State
But Polk is not a bad pick
My QB has 2 rings. Well, 3 if you want to get technical.
2012 NYG mock - 1: Dwayne Allen TE, 2: Brandon Boykin CB/RS, 3: A.J. Jenkins WR, 4: Vick Ballard RB, 5: Neiko Thorpe S, 6: Rishard Matthews WR/RS, 6: Blake DeChristopher G/T, 7: BPA
Bengals
I’d take Gilmore over Dennard, not a fan of him at all. Also not really a fan of Miller either and really beleive if we don’t get Richardson in the first we will wait unti the 2nd to take a RB (Martin)
Would you trade
the 17th pick and the 53rd pick to KC for the 11th pick and a 5th round pick? Do Bengal fans think it would be worth it to get Richardson?
What a year! At least we have the Royals... Oh Wait!
I just can't see Dwight Jones going that high
You ask me this two months ago, & I’d love this pick. Right now, I think the Texans would trade out of that pick if the board fell like this. I agree with all your points on Jones, but I think they’d be able to trade back & still get him later. I think they could trade back for the Patriots two 2nd round picks (which they could accept because they may want an extra 1st round pick for a CB or Safety), take Poe at #48, take Brandon Washington at #58, & still get Dwight Jones at #63. His stock has taken that big of a hit after the Senior Bowl
Murphy’s 20th Military Law:
If it’s stupid, but it works, it ain’t stupid
"Fuck em all. Go Texans."
Trying to figure out trades hurts my head lol
I think Jones will bounce back, he’s a good player, and with Johnson getting most of the attention, it’d allow him to make a lot of plays for Houston.
I like Jones because they run the Texans offensive system at UNC
But his draft stock took a huge hit after the Senior Bowl. I can’t see him being a 1st round pick, or even an early 2nd unless he has a monster combine & pro day

Seahawks
Love the Trent Richardson pick….then you put in Tannehill. It is my own personal bias but I like Kirk Cousins or Osweiler so much more. I would loooove to see Lynch and Richardson pounding defenses though.
So there I was, balls deep......
Took me a half hour to realize she was dead
Poor Grandma
I understand your pain there
Tannehill has bust written all over him. Osweiler would be much better

And cheaper "pick-wise"
If we spend our 1st on Richardson (awesome), we would have to spend our 2nd on someone like Vinny Curry, then maybe a 3rd on Cousins or Osweiler
Osweiler may work himself into at least a 2nd round pick

However Dwight Jones would be the better fit for the Texans, but I believe they could trade back & still be able to get him

Idk,
sanu is the best all around WR in the draft.
he’s the only one that does everything above average.
he isnt the fastest, or the most agile,
but he has the Best hands and route running ability in the draft, he’s above average speed, and above average agility and strength.
he’s a fit for any team looking for a Go to WR

Bucs
Love the Claiborne pick. The Glenn pick is solid. Not a top need, but a need. A slipping first rounder is exactly what I want to grab in that spot. Sure wish Wright fell a couple more spots though!
Bills
I feel like they would go Toon over Criner, but other then that, I’d be fine with those two rounds.
Steelers
The first pick is bad. We have our starters at DE and don’t really need another one. The second pick is nice, though.
"If you havin' dragon problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 arrows but my knee took one."
I agree with you
I would be surprised if that 2nd pick is still available there but I think the Steelers would take him in a heartbeat. This is a situation where the Steelers would trade down rather than take that 1st round pick.

I don't agree
Brockers as that point is so clearly the BPA and he is versatile. He can play DT when we go to 4 man sets and he is a great pass rusher which none of our DE’s are so he adds that dimension as well

That's kinda what my logic was
Brockers is so versatile, and Hampton isn’t getting any younger either. Brockers could still play the middle.
Dwayne Allen is too perfect of a pick.
Its not gonna happen.

i have a feeling that miami might go pass rush de in the first like ingram or upshaw but reiff is a nice value at our pick and fills a postion of need but if we go reiff 1st the 2nd we need a de, s, or cb
I think the Cardinals take Decastro over floyd if both are available at 13
