Mock Draft 2.0 Discussion

texasguy346 said:
I'm a little surprised Minnesota didn't do for a LB, but they'll sure have a very competitive and formidable DLine. Udeze, P. Williams, K. Williams, James. Then they've got Babineaux, Mixon, Martin all on the bench. They've also got good depth at CB with the addition of Washington. LB seemed like their only weakness, but with CBs that can cover well and a DLine like that they may not need much else.

I like that feedback, very acute :cool:

both Erasmus & Jonathan are explosive defensive line talents, thier only limitations are health issues, along with Udeze who seems to have his shoulder flare up to upgrade the line with such talent also requires risk which is aleviated by adding two of the premier pass rushers in this draft. Babin's real impact initially will be special teams as is the norm for 3rd round picks. However with his positive attitude & ability to overcome odds his upside was just to much to ignore. honestly here is another player that I'd love to become a Texan, well really he is already a Texan but you know what I mean.
 
Ok, if peeps are interested in why I took Darren, to me, this guy (even though he is not rated very high at all) reminds me of "Barry Sanders".... Yes, I said Barry. This guy is quick, shows great awareness, and he has awesome cutting ability. When watching him, I see people reach out to grab him, only to find nothing in thier hands. He might have not gone till the 4th round, but I like him and I am out of picks..
 
BTW

Now that I am out of picks..

my draft for the 49'ers was:

#11 Alex Smith , QB
#33 David Pollack, DE
#42 Brodney Pool, FS
#50 Adam Terry, OT
#81 Darren Sproles, RB

Based on the needs (big needs) of the 49'ers, I believe I filled the major positions needed with maybe a exception of a WR since putting on a new QB.
The O-line is strong except for 1 man (where adam will fill in), a QB is a must to put this team back in the run, DE has been needed on one side badly and FS was also in demand to the point they were about to pull one of thier CB's back to cover it.


What you all think?

Alex Smith, David Pollack & Brodney Pool are excellent value picks which might fit the new moneyball mentality of the 49ers front office. but that would mean they are passing on Aaron Rodgers who would be a better fit for the west coast style & I can't see Pollack playing DE in the NFL he is a OLB, if you wanted a DE with that pick (#33) I would have went Justin Tuck. Pool is undersized and will need to add strength to his frame & become a gym rat in order to make an impact at Safety in the NFL.

I like Terry but he needs time to develop + he's an east coast kid so alot will depend on how he adjusts to San Franciso. Your right about Sproles this kid can play regardless of his measurables & given a chance in the right system will make an impact.
 
I'm not sure if Canty would be a good fit with the Ravens since they're dropping the 3-4, but I like him as a prospect, so good pick...

Seems about the right time for Canty to go off the board. If not for the season ending knee injury & that brawl he got into, Canty might have been a late 1st round pick. Canty looks like a good fit as a LDE opposite Terrell Suggs. Good pick. :thumbup

I think he can become a Michael Strahan type DE in a 4-3. I think someone takes him higher than this slot in the draft....which can't come soon enough for me.

starting to fall behind with this mock draft

we have 1 1/2 rounds to go with only 10 days left

Perhaps we can scale down to a 12 hr clock or something.

I like the Idea. You shouldnt need 24 hours after the first 10 picks. Anyways, HowBoutThemCowboys! time is up, if we are using a 12 hour clock.

Hes got Charlie Fry, Kevin Everett, Chris Kemoeatu, and still needs a FS, SS, and CB.

I would give him:

James Butler FS 6-2, 210 Georgia Tech
or
Antonio Perkins CB 6-0, 190 Oklahoma
 
*shakes fist and casts an evil eye in Lucky's direction* You stole my pick...I was really hoping Arrington would slide to me...Oh well...
 
:thumbup If its a 12 hour rule and nobody has picked can you jump two places ? I'm locked and loaded just waiting to pick a hybrid of two Buckeye players Maurice Clarret and Alonzo Spellman . Yes you guys left him on the board . :woot

According to the new 12 hour rule, Fresno8 has about 2 hours to go, & then you can jump all over it. This is the 2nd time that CoachJim has missed his pick & he's got another comp. pick coming up at the end of the 3rd round. I wonder if he's given up on the mock?
 
No jumping 2 people...


Any ideas on who the Broncos should take??? I'm thinking Frank Gore, OG, or a WR. Anyone got some names???

With Denver, you can't go wrong choosing a RB.

Just for minute, close your eyes and imagine pre-knee injuries Frank Gore behind the Denver o-line.... :wacko: :shocked :whew


Can you think of anyone else or should we pick Gore for them???
 
Here's a nice OG.

Justin Geisinger

Positives: Has a massive frame with a thick chest, wide waist and hips, big bubble, thick legs and good leg drive … Collegiate tackle who could shift to guard at the pro level to take advantage of his trap-blocking ability and strength … Enforcer-type who does a good job of staying low in his pads, coming off the snap with arms properly extended to get under the defender's jersey … Tenacious drive blocker who works hard to stay with his blocks … Keeps his feet wide to maintain balance in pass protection, showing the ability to wall off and pull for the ground game … While lacking sustained speed, he does well in the short area to generate the quickness to get to the edge to cut off the linebackers, showing true aggression in run support … Shows good hip snap and roll to effectively seal off the edge rush … One thing you quickly notice about his game is he flashes aggression blocking in-line and delivers a hand punch into the defender's chest consistently … Has made strides in improving his foot agility in order to get to the drop point in his pass protection … Knows how to use his upper-body power to push off the defender and then use his hands to sustain and gain leverage … His ability to remain focused when anchoring down gives him the ability to quickly recover vs. the stunts … Adequate incline blocker, thanks to proper hand technique and punch.

Negatives: Slow-footed type who has trouble containing the speed rushers … Lacks agility on the move, appearing stiff in his hips … Limited by short arm length … Shows good playing strength, but struggles with lateral movement and the speed rush … Limited when working in space, as he cannot redirect and recover when beaten … Shows effort and signs of a stong hand punch, but is very stiff and un-athletic getting his hands up into a defender's chest … Could possibly be moved inside, but needs to develop better change-of-direction skills and foot speed.

AGILITY

CAMPUS: 5.43 in the 40-yard dash … 600-pound bench press … 650-pound back squat … 350-pound power clean … Bench presses 225 pounds 43 times (all weight results are school records) … 26½-inch vertical jump … Right-handed.

COMBINE: 5.37 in the 40-yard dash … 3.12 20-yard dash … 1.86 10-yard dash … 4.62 20-yard shuttle … 7.87 three-cone drill … 25-inch vertical jump … 7-foot-11 broad jump … Bench pressed 225 pounds 34 times … 32¾-inch arm length … 9 5/8-inch hands.
 
I may be wrong, but I don't think CoachJim realizes he's got 2 compensatory picks. He's been on & off the board several times. I sent him a PM to alert him, but who knows when he might get it?
 
I just got here. If he is over his time then go ahead and make the pick. If I don't show up on time and someone is due...just decide amongst yourselves with Fiddy's direction.
 
I say either a CB like Antonio Perkins or a LB like maybe Rian Wallace since word is they could be releasing Chad Brown and Bobby Taylor come June 1st...
 
STEEL BLUE TEXANS said:
Fiddy, Michael Boley is 236 lbs.
Click to expand...
I read 235 some places and 220 in others. I think his playing weight last year was around 220.

let me check into it
 
Boley has a lanky frame and needs to put on additional bulk. He is a very athletic linebacker, but is sorely lacking in playing strength...He is better suited to make plays on the move, as he will get engulfed trying to take on blocks at the line of scrimmage...Based on his frame, lack of strength and inability to shed blockers, it is apparent that he will not play strongside linebacker in the pros.

I'm a fan of the big powerful LB for a 4-3
 
STEEL BLUE TEXANS said:
I just thought the Seahawks needed a playmaker at LB. Wallace is still a good pick though.
Click to expand...
Yeah, I think Boley can be a player, I just like Wallace a little more...
 
It's been brought to my attention that the Patriots pick is also up...

So what direction should they go???

I'm thinking Jammal Brimmer from UNLV. I think it's time they start grooming a SS behind Harrison.

I woulda taken a WR instead of sproles, but otherwise the 49ers should be happy.

I say either J.R. Russell from Louisville or either O.J. Atogwe or Gerald Sensabaugh as their young safety...
 
going off of their team needs on NFLdraftcountdown.com, the only ones not filled are CB, WR, and T.

WR - Larry Brackins, Pearl River Community College
Height: 6-43/8
Weight: 205
40-Yard: 4.54

CB - Stanley Wilson, Stanford
Height: 5-113/4
Weight: 185
40-Yard: 4.40

T - Jeremy Parquet, Southern Miss
Height: 6-63/4
Weight: 323
40-Yard: 5.25


I would give him Wilson.
 
Hey Fiddy,

You might as well go for the trifecta. :heh: CoachJim has missed his last 2 picks & seems to have given up on the mock. Now might be the right time to give them Frank Gore or Maurice Clarett.

Oh well, just a thought.
 
*************PATS PICK***************


J.R. Russell WR 6-3, 195 Louisville

The Pats take a youthful WR to replace Patten, and Brown.

I was thinking WR but dont forget that they singed David Terrell, who may turn into some as a 3rd WR, and they drafted PK Sam last year.
 
Hey. I just finished drafting for the bucs, and here are the final picks, and why.

Round 1 #1) WR - Mike Williams - USC
Dont really need a explanation. Will be a endzone threat like no other.

Round 3 #65) OG - Marcus Johnson - Ole Miss
Lost Cosey Coleman in the offseason, so a replacement was needed.

Round 3 #71) RB - Vernand Morency - Oklahoma St.
A premier runner was needed to fade out Pittman.

Round 3 #91) K - Mike Nugent - Ohio St.
Gruden likes to have good kickers, and at the end of round 3, was a shocker to still be around.

Round 4 #102) QB - Kyle Orton - Perdue
Simms might be out the door to cleveland, and Griese isnt anything special. A boom or bust type of player.

Round 4 #107) FS - Oshiomogho Atogwe - Stanford
The resigned Dexter Jackson, but depth was needed at the overall S spot.

Thanks for any feedback.
 
Good Bucs picks...I think I'm one of the only people that thinks that Orton could develop into a good pro QB...
 
The final picks for the texan279 Dolphins are:

1st round (#2) - Ronnie Brown, RB Auburn
2nd round - no pick
3rd round (#70) - Jason Campbell, QB Auburn
4th round (#104) - Craphonso Thorpe, WR Florida State
 
Well, that concludes the Dallas Cowboy's draft. How did I do?

#5) Derrick Johnson, LB, UT
#20) Matt Roth, DE, Iowa
#109) Jeremy Parquet, OT, Southern Mississippi
