Martin was available and I suggested him, but he was not put in the poll.

Martin is an absolute stud but there is zero reason to use a 2nd round pick on a RB.

Bobby Massie of Ole Miss and Ryan Miller of Colorado.

I like Mitchell Schwartz as well. He started all 4 yrs. at OT, 2 on each end of the line thus the reason I had him in some of my mocks. I was taking him in the 4th or 5th rounds but he's since moved up the depth charts and probably goes in the 3rd.

Its been reported over and over everyone should know if they have been paying attention.

Schwartz would be a great pick in the third. Nate Potter Boise St is someone to check out also.


Feel free to follow the following mock as a blue print.

1st Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State
Now the second rated DT by Mayock. Can dominate in stretches. Great at getting off the line. Heady player that plays with alot of emotion. Think of a smart, bigger A Smith.

2nd Vontaze Burfict, ILB, Arizona State
Has fallen on most boards after a so so senior season. Still there is no other ILB in this draft with his explosion to the ball. He really fits this defense well and will add the extra threat of blitz up the middle that Ryan's just isn't capable of. Phillips coaching will return him to his JR year play where he was considered dominate.

3rd Nate Potter, OT, Boise State or Mitchell Schwartz, OT, California
Both these guys are perfect fits for our scheme and have all the attributes we seem to look for in OL.

4th Jake Bequette, OLB, Arkansas
Had a bad first half of year but blew it up in the last four games. Can contribute on special teams right away and is talented enough to see reps behind Reed and Barwin sooner than later.

5th Winston Guy, Jr., S, Kentucky

Will be a solid special teams player immediately. At 6'1" and 216 LBS Loves to hit, good open field tackler, has experience at CB so is solid in coverage. Also has kick return experience.


6th Jarrett Boykin, WR, Virginia Tech

I love this guy. If he had played at a more pass oriented school would be better known. Has the size 6'2" and 220 LBS with huge hands that catch the ball away from his body. Is Andre like with the ball. Not elusive but a bull to bring down. Very good blocker. Had a personal-best 440-pound front squat and a 40-inch vertical jump during off-season testing. Walters eventual replacement.

7th Evan Rodriguez, FB/TE, Temple

Versatile player that can play TE or FB ala Casey. Is really good after the catch. Will be the number one selling jersey in south Texas.

Burfict or Vinny Curry would be excellent 2nd round picks. I think Burfict will still be there in the third though, his draft stock is plummeting.

[Wolf6151]

From what I hear Burfict was terribly slow at the Combine and terrible in interviews.

Good, maybe we can steal him in the third then. He has insane closing speed, much faster in pads. And Burfict has been pretty tough to get more than 2 words out of in interviews most of his college career.
