Hey boys, how have you all been? I know you guys have been clawing out your eyes because you haven't heard from me in a while. The reason for my absence was that I've been in Ireland. Beautiful country but I'm glad to be back to give you this mock:
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
2. St. Louis Rams: Justin Blackmon, WR, OK St.: This one is obviously between Blackmon and Kalil. Kalil is the better prospect but Fisher came to the Rams for Sam Bradford, which I believe would mean pairing him up with a beast WR Fisher never had in Tennessee.
3. Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil, OT, USC
4. Cleveland Browns: Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor: Glad to see everyone's with me on the fact that Colt McCoy is not a starting NFL QB. If Washington gets Manning, Cleveland benefits as I don't see anyone trading up for RGIII, therefore, they can sit at 4 and still get the QB they need.
5. Tampa Bay Bucs: Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU: Talib and Barber are question marks for next season, if Claiborne falls here this is definitley a lock
6. Washington Redskins: Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa: If they get Manning as I predict, and with no other WR's worthy of the pick, OT would be a smart pick with Williams' troubles.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Quinton Coples, DE, UNC: Moreso a BPA pick here. Coples could step in and make a good D even better.
8. Miami Dolphins: Jonathon Martin, OT, Stanford
9. Carolina Panthers: Michael Brockers, DT, LSU: A little early? Yeah probably, but with a DT need they're getting a guy with All-Pro potential
10. Buffalo Bills: Courtney Upshaw, OLB/DE, Bama: The best pass rusher in the entire draft, IMO. No way should the worst pass rushing team in the league pass him.
11. Kansas City Chiefs: Trent Richardson, RB, Bama: I made this pick months ago before it became popular (I'm such a hipster). With a defensive coach, and no worthy QB's, building up the running game could be huge. Charles is coming back from a rough injury, and on top of that has never been the work horse back in the NFL. Replacing Jones with Richardson could make this anemic offense explosive.
12. Seattle Seahawks: Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Bama: 3 Bama boys in a row? I must still be drunk.... But seriously, everyone in the league smokes pot, I doubt his arrest affects his draft status.
13. Arizona Cardinals: David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
14. Dallas Cowboys: Melvin Ingram, OLB/DE, South Carolina
15. Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Kuechly, LB, BC: This is one of the guys who's stock really changed while I was away. I don't get it, this guy is the best LB prospect since Ray Lewis. If MLB is your biggest need and you pass him round 1, you deserve to be fired Reid.
16. New York Jets: Mike Adams, OT, OSU: The Jets need to rebuild this OL and get back to running the football and only letting Sanchez pass to appease the 16 year old girls. Mike Adams could help that.
17. Cincinatti Bengals (from OAK): Mark Barron, S, Bama
18. San Diego Chargers: Nick Perry, OLB/DE, USC
19. Chicago Bears: Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
20. Tennessee Titans: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor: I hated seeing a fellow Jersey boy tear his knee like Britt did against my Broncos. I think he'll come back fine but getting a Wright-caliber WR will only help Hasselbeck/Locker
21. Cincinatti Bengals: Lamar Miller, RB, Miami
22. Cleveland Browns (from ATL): Michael Floyd, WR, ND: They got their QB early, now time to get him something the Browns don't have: someone to throw to.
23. Detroit Lions: Janoris Jenkins, CB, Florida
24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Donta' Hightower, ILB, Bama
25. Denver Broncos: Devon Still, DT, Penn St.: farther down then I think he'll go, may be a pipe dream for my Broncos but there's a chance he falls this far.
26. Houston Texans: Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
27. New England (from NO): Andre Branch, DE/OLB, Clemson: With the Pats moving towards more of a 4-3, Branch could easily transfer in to NE and rush the passer.
28. Green Bay Packers: Fletcher Cox, DT/DE, Miss St.
29. Baltimore Ravens: Vontaze Burfict, LB, AZ St.: Not a fan of the kid but there's no denying the talent.
30. San Fransisco 49ers: Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois: Aldon Smith was an amazing pick, but they only have 3 OLB's signed for 2012
31. New York Giants: Zach Brown, LB, UNC: I know Reese doesn't draft LB's in round 1, but if he runs a 4.4, he may sneak up on Reese's board as the "freak" prospect Rorschach constantly points out.
32. New England Patriots: Jerel Worthy, DT/DE, MSU: This D needs to be improved, badly. Building up the DL with young talent is always a good formula.
ROUND 2
1. St. Louis Rams: Cordy Glenn, OG/OT, Georgia
2. Indianapolis Colts: Mohamed Sanu, WR, Rutgers
3. Minnesota Vikings: Alfonso Dennard, CB, Nebraska
4. Tampa Bay Bucs: David Wilson, RB, Va Tech.
5. Cleveland Browns: Kelechi Osmele, OT/OG, Iowa St.
6. Jacksonville Jaguars: Chase Minnifield, CB, UVA
7. Washington Redskins: Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis
8. Carolina Panthers: Brandon Washington, OG, Miami
9. Buffalo Bills: Brandon Thompson, DT, Clemson
10. Miami Dolphins: Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson
11. Seattle Seahawks: Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M: Hate doing explanations in the 2nd round, but for Tannehill, I think he's way too raw for round 1. He should be a 2nd rounder who can develop out of the spotlight.
12. Kansas City Chiefs: Zebrie Sanders, OT, FSU
13. Dallas Cowboys: Stephen Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
14. Philadelphia Eagles: Kendall Reyes, DT, UCONN
15. New York Jets: Vinny Curry, DE/OLB, Marshall
16. New England Patirots (from OAK): Kevin Zietler, OG, Wisconsin
17. San Diego Chargers: Orson Charles, TE, Georgia
18. Chicago Bears: Dwight Jones, WR, UNC
19. Philadelphia (from AZ): Ruben Randle, WR, LSU
20. Tennessee Titans: Ben Jones, C, Georgia
21. Cincinatti Bengals: Leonard Johnson, CB, Iowa St.
22. Detroit Lions: Travis Lewis, LB, Oklahoma
23. Atlanta Falcons: George Iloka, S, BSU
24. Pittsburgh Steelers: Brandon Boykin, CB Georgia
25. Denver Broncos: Doug Martin, RB, BSU
26. Houston Texans: Billy Winn, DT/DE, BSU: 1 gapping in a 3-4 might be Winn's best fit.
27. New Orleans Saints: Ronnell Lewis, OLB/DE, Oklahoma
28. Green Bay Packers: Chandler Jones, DE/OLB, Syracuse
29. Baltimore Ravens:Jared Crick, DE/DT, Nebraska
30. San Fransisco 49ers: Nick Toon, WR, Wisconsin
31. New York Giants: Chris Polk, RB, Washington
32. New England Patriots: Markelle Martin, S, Ok St.

Jags
Nice job. in both rounds a BAP approach is employed and the jags end up with 2 very good players who also happen to fit needs although not the huge needs.

Looks like two good draft picks with a good chance of becoming capable starters

You gave someone a good Jags review?
Good for you. And I agree. I would also be happy with Gilmore in the 2nd.
Steelers
The first pick is good, but I dislike the second pick. CB is at the bottom of our needs.
"If you havin' dragon problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 arrows but my knee took one."
Taylor played great all year (excluding the Denver game) and Gay played good enough. Plus, we have some very promising young corners who should improve quite a bit with a full off-season. So yeah, CB is still at the bottom of our needs.
"If you havin' dragon problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 arrows but my knee took one."
Taylor was one of the best #1 corners in the league this year
and Gay was one of the better nickel corners in the league. With the way Lewis, Brown, and Allen are developing, yes, corner is veeeerrrrrrrryyyy low on our needs list

I didn't do the Boykin pick for need
he was BPA right there, I’m higher then other on him, he’s really good

Great for Baltimore
I am a fan of the Crick selection. DE/DT is maybe our least needed position, but a guy like Crick cannot be passed on.
"Picture Me Rollin"
Agreed. I like Martin at that pick as well, but if Crick reaches his potential it could be worth it especially if Redding is gone.

Texans
Im weary about Alshon Jeffery in the 1st but I wouldnt cry about it, but Ill take Alameda Taamu or even Chapman in the 2nd over Winn
Rectum!? Damn near killed 'em!!!
As a Giants fan, I'd prefer Dwayne Allen or Dwight Jones in the 1st, but could be worse
I like Polk, good running style and would benefit our offense greatly, especially if Jacobs is gone next year.
agree on first.
disagree on polk

Agree on the explanation in the 1st
If Brown runs a 4.4, the Giants will draft him and figure out where to play him later.

Not bad. I think I would take Gilmore over Dennard. But you addressed positions that need to be upgraded.

Wow Still and Martin what a dream for the Broncos!!!
I do hope that we go all middle of the D for the 1st 3 to 4 rounds. Also wouldn’t mind trading back and adding more picks latter. This draft is not that great IMO.
Yeah, could easily live with that.
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.
I'd be happy with that draft for the Jets.
And the home of the .... JETS!!!

Bills
While Thompson is a very good player, DT is a position the Bills are actually really deep at. I would look at Curry, Tannehill, or maybe Randle or Toon.
I gave him to you there as BPA
he may not be a first rounder but if he falls to the 2nd I think every team will heavily consider him

Refreshing change to see
Something other than a WR mocked to the 49ers.
Luke Kuechly best MLB since Ray Lewis?? Luke is good but he is not a “can’t miss” prospect interms of a future game changer, and the way your mock fell Philly would probably go with Devon Still. Infact, some think Kuechly can fall towards the end of the 1st round, he just doesn’t have enough athletic ability or strength to be a lock for philly (or any top 15 pick), not saying he isn’t good or that I wouldn’t take him though. I know he had a TON of tackles in college but he played on a HORRID defense where often times tackles that should’ve been made by the line or other backers were missed and he followed up. Still, you can’t knock 500+ tackles in 3 years but the team he played on as well as the skill he played with were both reasons he did the numbers he did.
2nd round- Doubt we take the kid from UConn over Alameda Ta’amu (who isn’t on your board). Vinny Curry Might be a hard pass also for Reid. give us Vinny Curry and Alameda Ta’amu in the second. Kuechly, Vinny Curry and Alameda Ta’amu would be a great two rounds. Your board fell nice though (just to end it on a positive)!
ok, the giants suck.
by BigBlueIntervention on Oct 4th
While tackle stats aren't always the best way to judge LB's
his tackle per game average is higher then Ray Ray’s, Mike Singletary’s, and Dick Butkus combined. I admitted that since I’ve been gone people have been off the Kuechly train, but why that is I don’t know. He’s got the makings of the next top LB
Ta’amu was a guy I forgot, he’d probably be a 2nd rounder, but again he’s a guy I really don’t like all that much, just not impressed. Reyes might have gotten the same love Ta’amu has gotten if he went to a better program like Washington. If he did I think many would view him higher then Ta;amu

Bills
Maybe while in Ireland you missed the Bills went to a 43. Upshaw would be a decent pick, but the Bills don’t need a DT
Kenny Powers is back!
I heard they went to the 4-3
as I said it was a BPA pick, tough to pass up even if you are deep at DT.

wright, jeffrey, or floyd over sanu is a bad idea.
blackmon in three years will also look like a bad idea ahead of sanu aswell….
and no brown please.
i’ll take gelnn sanu or wilson over him.
no polk either

No way Blackmon goes #2 overall
Even if the Rams trade down to either the 4 or 6 spot I still see them taking a OT in either Reiff or Martin to protect Bradford. Too much talent and depth in this year’s receiver class to use such an early pick on a guy who isn’t head and shoulders better than his peers. He’s simply not the physical specimen that guys like AJ Green and Calvin Johnson were heading into the draft. Would also like Allen to the Giants in the first.
really?
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
^ thats in repsosne
of some comment saying sanu is better than blackmon or whatever.
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing every changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
This Richardson craze needs to stop.
If Richardson is there i see us trading back but I really don’t see us selecting a first round RB. Charles is coming back from an injury but he is already in cleats and running. Also this draft is so deep at running back that you can get a bruiser in almost every round. Sanders is a pretty good pick in the second. If we can’t trade out of the 11 pick i would expect to see Mike Adams be the pick or possibly Dre Kirkpatrick. If Adams is the pick in the first i’d go Orson Charles in the second.
DeCastro then Sanders makes a lot of sense

Bucs
Love the Claiborne pick. Not sure about the Wilson pick, but I could see it and I like it a lot better than Richardson at #5.
Saints
I don’t see us passing on Lavonte David if he’s still there. Especially for Ronnell Lewis
Drew Brees- the REAL MVP.
David looks more like a 3rd rounder to me
too small and I question his run stopping ability. I don’t see people taking that in the 2nd

I'm accepting your premise that Peyton Manning is signed to the Redskins
(I’m not sure how I feel about it though). Based on that, this would be an excellent draft for the Redskins.
I would pretty much have to change my shorts (in a good way) if this came true for the Cowboys.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
Solid Eagles Draft
2 for 3 IMO. Absolutely love what you said about Luke.
This is one of the guys who’s stock really changed while I was away. I don’t get it, this guy is the best LB prospect since Ray Lewis. If MLB is your biggest need and you pass him round 1, you deserve to be fired Reid.Hit the nail right on the head with that. Helps the D immensely and shouldn’t have much of a learning curve.
The first second round pick Im not a fan of i would rather Crick if you want to give us a DT but I would take Jones there and then Crick with the next pick. All in all nice job.
Titans
If Ashlon is still on the board then I think we go there.

Manning
Not going to Redskins. Eli didn’t want to play for the Chargers because it was the same conference as Paa-tin. I don’t see them playing in the same conference for even a year.
Try not to take the above message too seriously.
Browns
If the Free agency period is used wisely, with a lot of teams being over the cap of course – The “Need” to draft a QB isnt there. Clevelands problem on offense isn’t all McCoy, the right side of the O line sucks, the WR’s are not even 3rd rate and not having a first string RB most of the season hurt alot too. Get them, FA’s to fill out the real needs, like V Jackson, & Bowe or Colston at WR, Benjarvis-Green at RB, and Grubbs OG on the rightside of the O line. Then the browns could concentrate on completeing the defense. Like taking the best CB, DE in the first round, then LB in the second, SS in the 3rd, another DE and LB in the fourth.
A bargain is something you don't need at a price you can't resist....
If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong!
My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch!
Your FA scenario is a pipe dream
doubt it will happen. And I think Holmgren can’t afford another losing season with Colt, but drafting a QB early could buy him more time to rebuild the Browns
C'mon, join us, there's plenty of koolaid on the Broncos bandwagon for everyone!

I’m not high on Barron as a first rounder, and Miller is a meh pick for me as well. And the second round feels like a big reach for Leonard Johnson.
