DISCLAIMER: i hereby certify that this is my final mock before the draft if i post another mock before that time i will write whatever you guys want in my sig clamining i am a lying blubbering fool
So without further ado......
we will trade fox for a 3rd rd pick i wont list a team becasue its hard to tell, but there are quite a few teams that may miss out on some much needed secondary help in the second so giving up a 3rd for a guy with starter expirience and youth is not unlikely. now is the time to get something for him before he tests FA waters.
We also will trade down our 12th pick. Clady will be gone and williams may actually not be the best for us, he is a great lineman and some weights could help his upper body strength. stewart will aslo be gone and while mendehall could be a target chicago, and detroit could be very willing to trade up, even battling with each other. possible trade down partners could be philadelphia, Minnesota, Washington, Detroit and chicago. now people will say we wont trade our pick so be it but there are some very good offensive guys in picks 15-22 so dont be suprised.......
Now for my draft, that may shock or excite you.........
1. WR James Hardy- This guy combined with Marshall would create some of the best mismatches in the league. people already have problems defending marshall, so imagine a guy slightly taller and just as powerful....our redzone pass game would greatly improve with the height of this guy. But wait he can stretch the field as well with a 4.47 40 at his size, he could roll over safties and corners just as marshall does. he has very good hands and had a very good offseason. He also could be an answer when marshall gets double teams next year. take away marshall and guess what we have the same type of guy on the other side, this leaves stokley wide open down the seams with scheff. Cutler would benfit greatly. First rd recivers are risk but this guy should blossom. especially with a qb like cutler. and i'm sure i will have plenty of posters saying this is stupid i want bennet in the second instead.....well why do that when there are good DT's to be had in the second and not in the 1st?
alternate pick: OG BRANDON ALBERT
2. DT Dre Moore- the guy excels against the run but is very good at holding the line while getting to the qb. he would be a good rookie and should improve our DT roation right away. had a very good offseason and is well worth the pick. with laws and simms off the board this seems like the perfect guy to work into slowiks scheme opposite thomas and mckinely.
2. DT ahyba Rubin- this guy is a reach currently at this pick but come draft day this wont be the case he is a very good run stopper and can plug the gaps, as well as being able top draw some double teams. again 2 DT's makes alot of sense in this draft especially when they have talent like these guys.
3. OL John greco- this guy is very versatile and can play inside and out, very good speed for his size, as well as good power up top. very good depth for our tackle and guard positions, especially when kuper is back-up. hamilton and holland should suit just fine at guard but if one of them gets injured i would like some depth, not to mention grooming this guy to take hamiltons spot could pay-off in the long run after hamilton slides to center or retires.
Alternate Pick: WR Andre Caldwell
4a. OL Kirk Barton- killer off-season, would proivide very good depth at OL as well as a good back-up for RT or LT. Has good upper power and can hold blocks well, good in both pass and run blocking.
4b. OLB wesely woodyard- while he may be small for olb, the chances DJ walks next year in FA are likely. Grooming this guy for that spot would help alot. he can blitz, and cover well, and is a very aggresive hitter and tackler. He has the tangibles to become a big defensive leader. Not to mention we need special teams help and this guy could give us a kieth burns like talent on special teams
5a. FB brandon mcanderson- Blocked for a guy that ran for 800 plus yds and scored 7 td's as well as blocked for a QB that had all the time in the world to throw kansas to a good bowl. oh wait what did he do that peyton hills, jacob hester, and owen schmitt couldnt? he scored 16 td's on 1000 yds rushing as a power FB. he can block quite well, and even has the ability to catch out of the backfield. oh yeah i cant begin to express how much his power could help our redzone rushing when henry is hurt and selvin is dancing!
5b. S dominique barber- good upside and very good agains the run. could fit well in our scheme as a strong safety as he is an aggresive hitter and tackler. he also brings character and work ethic and has the possibilty of becoming a very good defensive leader as well. guys like this may not start right away but they bring work ethich to a team that really needs it.
7a. Mike Drago- we need a punter and this guy fared pretty well for his last team, strong and accurate leg
7b. K connor barth- the guy was very efficient from 40 yds plus last year
now i missed RB,TE and DE but i think we will survive
this is what i advocate and think we don from here on out!!!!!
