Now I really have tried to cut down on the amount of mocks I do, but I came up with a good idea that I had to try out. The draft isn't too different from previous mocks, but my FA is and the earlier rounds are a bit different. The major cons to this draft is that we'd have to spend a bit and that it's not very likely.
FA: Gabe Watson for a 3rd or 4th rounder Our starting NT, I'll show both picks but remember we won't get both.
OJ Atogwe, FS Expensive guy, but a ball-hawk. Here's where the unlikely part begins but he would really help our defense.
Chris Canty, DE Some people think Canty won't be released, and if he's not spears probably will so I'd be fine with Spears too.
Draft: We trade our 1st round pick for a 1st and 2nd. I know it drives people crazy when the mocker does this so I apologize to them, but I'm still doing it.
1.) Knowshon Moreno, RB And Eddie $ Royal immediately gives draft an A+, LOL. If Moreno's gone then get McCoy insead. Pros: Very fast home-run threat with great agility and toughness, could immediately give us the #1 offense. Cons: Where do I start?
2a.) Larry English, OLB Probably my favorite 2nd round LB. Pros: Provides the pass-rush we need and could be a steal. Cons: Not addressed earlier.
2b.) Clay Matthews, OLB Another good OLB with NFL background. Pros: He's a pure football player that works hard, could also be the steal of the LB class. Cons: Refer to 2a and is the same position as 2a.
*3.) William Moore, S Could play either spot, but I'm not sue where he'll go. Pros: Was a ball-hawk his Jr. season that really lit it up. Cons: Really digressed his Sr season. Based on his Sr season he should be at best a 3rd rounder but he may go sooner if a team is desperate. Remember we may not have this pick.
*4.) Mitch King, DE Pros: High effort and intensity Cons: None that I can think of Alternate: Jasper Brinkley, ILB Pros: Prototypical size Cons: Had injury issues his Jr year. We could try to get Brinkley at 5a in place of Taylor
5a.) Terrence Taylor, NT Pros: Thick, squatty NT that can eat up blockers. Has upside Cons: None really
5b.) Patrick Turner, WR Pros: Big, tall receiver that could be a real threat. He'll be either our #4 or #5 receiver and should be a big mismatch Cons: May not be available
6a.) Sammie Lee Hill, NT Pros: Big athletic guy. Let these two guys and Watson compete in camp. Con: this is the 3rd NT, but it's good value.
6b.) AQ Shipley, C Pros: Solid C, depth pick. Cons: Slight fall. If you guys haven't noticed, I pick a lot of guys that fall. Somebody does, and I just try to predict them.
7a.) Marcus Thigpen, KR Pros: Has some serious wheels, he probably(and kinda hopefully) will not see time at RB, but he might be a good KR. McDaniels may not want Royal doing it. Cons: Not really any.
7b.) Best FB available
Do we have one or two 7th rounders? I always forget. I know this isn't too likely, but wouldn't it be cool? Here's our depth chart:
Offense
QB: Cutler
HB: Hillis and Moreno/McCoy
FB: Hillis/7th rounder
WR: Marshall, Royal, Stokely, Turner/Jackson
TE: Scheffler/Graham
LT: Clady
LG: Hamilton
C: Wiegman
RG: Kuper
RT: Harris
Defense
RE: Thomas/Peterson
NT: Watson/Taylor/Hill
LE: Canty/*King
OLB: English
ILB: Williams
ILB: Larsen
OLB: Matthews
CB: Bailey
SS: *Moore/Barrett
FS: Atogwe
CB: Bly
My hope is that either Taylor or Hill develops into a good NT. We can cut Robertson to save cap. What this draft does: Gives us a dominant offense. Gives us a lot of promise on defense. What this draft does not give us: a dominant ILB, but I think Larsen and Williams will do find. Remember, when Larsen played MLB we held Michael Turner to just 80 yards. I think he could be a good 3-4 MLB. Well, let me know what you think. IDK if this is absolute best, but if a guy like Orakpo, Brown, or Raji isn't available i'd love for this to happen.
