Bah007's Seven Round Mock Draft

bah007

Hall of Fame
Hey gang, I've been working on this for a long while. Typically I usually put out two or three mocks during the off season. But this year I put all my effort into this one mock. It's a full seven rounds including the compensatory picks. I spend way too much time watching college football, re-watching college football, and researching prospects. This is sort of the culmination of all of that. I hope y'all enjoy it.

I'm putting it in a team by team format, but if anybody cares enough I can also post it in its original format by selection. I thought this would be easier on the eyes and I didn't want to post both unless enough people were interested.

Nice mock, but you left off Detroit's 7th. Better re-do your last 40 picks... :P


Lions Get Back 2011 NFL Draft 7th-Round Pick, Lose 2012 Pick Instead

ESPN's Mike Sando is reporting that the NFL has reinstated the Detroit Lions' seventh-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. That's the good news. The bad news is that the Lions will now lose their seventh-round pick in 2012 instead. In essence, their tampering punishment still stands, but at least now the Lions have six picks in this year's draft rather than five.

By getting their seventh-round pick in this year's draft back, the Lions now have the following six picks:

* Round 1, pick No. 13, overall pick No. 13
* Round 2, pick No. 12, overall pick No. 44
* Round 3, pick No. 11, overall pick No. 75
* Round 4, pick No. 10, overall pick No. 107
* Round 5, pick No. 23, overall pick No. 154 (originally had pick No. 9 in the fifth round -- the 140th overall pick -- but that now belongs to Kansas City as part of the swap of fifth-round selections)
* Round 7, pick No. 2, overall pick No. 205 (acquired from Denver as part of Alphonso Smith deal)

Well I'm not gonna redo it, that's for sure. I thought the draft order had been finalized when the comp picks were announced. It never occurred to me that something like that could be changed after a decision had already been made.

Just change their 6th to a 7th. It's all good :D
 
I think in general your round values for players will be more accurate than the group mock that we have done.

FWIW as a Huskers fan I think you have Helu Jr and Henry too late and Gomes too soon.

It is also nice to see so many Huskers getting drafted this year.
 
That was a heck of an undertaking. Just mocking the Texans picks takes quite awhile.

That was an impressive draft for the 49ers.
 
The more I think about it, the more I think you might be right with Houston taking Kerrigan in the first round.
 
Good job, but i'll monumentally pissed if the texans take Ryan Kerrigan with their 1st. That is the absolute worst possible scenario in my eyes.

What is it that you dislike about him?
Click to expand...

For what he'll be projected as in our scheme, i don't think he's fast or athletic enough to be an olb in a 3-4....most of the damage he did at purdue came with his hand in the dirt, which isn't a good look for a LB ....& in general i just think he's too sack happy.........meaning either he'll only be an option on 3rd & longs or he'll be so hot & heavy to get to the qb, he'll be 1 of those guys that tackles will take him wherever he wants to go.........which most of the time will leave gaping holes for the rb to run through b/c he runs around guys & chases too much. He just doesn't look like a natural pass rusher to me for some reason. Obviously, i hope i'm wrong if we do wind up selecting him.

That's not even counting the fact that i feel we already have a guy in his mold (who's faster & more athletic imo) in conner barwin.
 
TexCanada said:

He's not as athletic. He dosent move as well in space and doesnt have the burst off the line like Aldon Smith. -------but he is a powerfull high effort player. He'll be fine against the run and as a pass rusher. If they want that backer spot to drop into coverage on a regular basis he's probably not the best fit.

He's a safe player to draft because what you see is what you get and he will make the effort to get better. He's also a high character guy which is another reason i think he'll be our pick when amukamara is off the board.

I don't really watch any tape of these guys, but I found it interesting that Kerrigan actually out-performed Smith at the Combine. I know that doesn't always translate to games, but he was faster and stronger then him.

Scouts tend to grade the prospects against superior nfl players or the mold hall of famers have set for a given postion...its all relative =

Kareem Jackson is a fantastic athlete in comparison to college player John Doe and couch potatoe Tom

but,

his athletic talent in comparison to Deon Sanders or Darrell Green isn't nearly as impressive.

Saying Kerrigan dosen't move well in space dosen't mean he cant do it.

ive pretty much accepted that we will draft:

a. amukamara
b. kerrigan
c. smith
 
Props to you Bah007 that was alot of work and I like the way you organized. With that said though, HELL NO to Kerrigan in the 1st round. He's a 4-3 LDE in the NFL, not near fast enough or explosive enough to play OLB.

A LDE? I don't know whwere that's coming from. Seems like Kerrigan compares athletically to just about any of the pass rushers in this draft, not named Von Miller or Dontay Moch.

Kerrigan has more career sacks than any of the other top pass rushers (Miller included). He's done it and done it for 4 years. He might not have the "upside" of a Quinn or a Aldon Smith. But, Kerrigan has the results and would be the "safer" pick. I still think Wade would take Quinn or Smith, but I would expect Kerrigan to be able to rush the passer from the 3-4 OLB spot just fine.

I disagree. My first choice is Quinn, but he was off the board. Kerrigan may have trouble in coverage in the 34, but he wont have any problems rushing the QB.

First let me say, nice job on all the work you put in. If I would nit pick with you, I think they would take Amukamara before Kerrigan because then they would prioritize a safety in free agency (costs less than a cb) and no way the kid from Hampton goes before Jarvis Jenkins. Besides that, again may I say nice job.

I kinda feel like the Texans will trade back even if it costs them so they can get their NT and LB pass rusher in the first round.

EDIT: Either that, or they trade up and guarantee they get Miller or Quinn.
 
When I watch the video on Kerrigan I see a guy who plays hard and doesn't quit on the play but he's slow out of his stance and slow off the line. I see a guy using his strength but isn't fast enough to get around an OT. He's not fast enough to be a 4-3 RDE like Mario etc... This guy just screams 4-3 LDE. If we traded down I'd rather have Justin Houston in the 1st round than Kerrigan, he's at least played in a 3-4 at OLB and is very explosive.

Taylor 17/18 Reed 23/27

I've been kicking around that same idea but with slightly different personnel. How bout after a trade down and then using the extra pick we gain plus another of our own picks to trade back into the 1st round we select Phil Taylor-NT (17-19), and Justin Houston-OLB (21-23)?

think Reed will be as productive, maybe more & lower cost. I would make move before Patriot pick but expect him to be around a little longer than Houston. But yeah, basicly two impact players @ positions of dire need.
 
I like your draft for the Texans a lot. I like the potential and raw ability of Kenrick Ellis.

Honestly, I'd prefer they trade up, but if we stayed put I'd be fine with that draft. I don't really care for any of the 2nd tier OLB's, but I'm sure atleast one of them is going to be good. I just don't know which one(s)....They all just scream role players to me, and I think we need to get an impact player for our defense because we don't really have any that show up on a consistent basis.

But the whole thing was put together really well and I'm sure it took a lot of time. Good job.
