D-Mac's Mock me a river!!!

[DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241]

Every year I take a couple of days just to look at couple of prospects, watch highlights, read scouting reports, etc... And I decided I mind as well make a mock where I put together my observations of each prospects into a full mock. I personally do not like this whole "value" system, but more people do then don't so I considered that when making this mock. I tried to fit the players who fit in a certain system with the team that runs those systems (Redskins taking Williams over Okung), and last but not least, I avoided trading picks, because as we all know from the GM draft I fucked up for everyone, im bad at remembering how many picks each team has.... So here it is:

DON'T POST TILL I HAVE UP ALL 5 ROUNDS!!!

-----------------------------------------

Carolina Panther - 1 - Cam Newton

It might be Blane Gabbert, but I still believe Cam will be the first player taken. The Carolina Panthers are in need of a QB, Jimmy CLausen, no matter how good he is has no leadership skills, and neithe does Moore. Gabbert had a pro not so long ago, and the Panthers didn't even bother to send there head coach, or OC, instead just the positional coach was there. Cam Newton along with Gabbert have the biggest upside and potential of all the QBs in this year's draft class. Even Dieon Sanders who was praising Peterson agrees that grabbing a corner with your first overall pick is foolish, with the emergence of Anderson, DE is no longer as big of a need. And you don't grab a DT or WR with the first pick in the draft unless your name is Sapp, Suh or McCoy, so the Panthers draft the guy they believe will be the leader for many years to come.

 

Denver Broncos - 2 - Marcell Dareus

Nick Fairley is another possibility here, but I believe the Broncos go for the bigger more run dominant defensive tackle. I personally would take Nick, but this is whom I believe they will likely take. Dareus has all the intangibles to play anywhere from the 5 tech, to a 3 tech, to even nose. And on a defense where both defensive tackle spots have question smarks in this new defensive scheme, the Broncos will chose to address that position with Dareus.

 

 

Buffalo Bills - 3 - Patrick Peterson

 

I think we all learned from last year that the Bills have a BPA system in place and they usually stick to it. If Cam Newton is still available, he will be the pick here. If not, they will take the guy that just about everyone has number one on there big board in Patrick Peterson. There is a huge chance they end up going with Green, Gailley is an offensive minded coach, and although the defense was the Bills' weak point last year, there is a chance with Green on the board that Gailley will go with Green, but I see them going with Patrick Peterson here.

 

Cincinnati Bengals - 4- AJ Green

 

If Cam Newton is here at 4, I highly doubt they pass him up, but he wont be, so they will target AJ Green no matter who else is on the board, and if AJ is not here or Newton, they will go with Julio Jones. AJ Green will be an immediate starter, make immediate impact and the offense will become a lot more explosive. I would be very shocked if they ended not grabbing Green if he's here.

 

Arizona Cardinals - 5 - Von Miller

 

This is almost a no-brainer. The Cardinals have no depth at OLB, Von Miller is regarded by everyone as the best OLB prospect and an elite speed rusher. I don't think he will be an immediate starter, but he will make a huge impact in the pass rushing department. If this pick doesn't end up being Miller, it might be Quinn. But I believe the Cardinals will chose the best speed rusher in this year's draft. Don't be surprised if they grag Gabbert though, QB is probably #1 on there list right now, and with no CBA in place so no trades are available, they might opt out to getting there QB of the future now.

 

Cleveland Browns - 6 - Robert Quinn

 

Seriously consider Nick, but at the end of the day, the Browns go with the best pass rusher in the draft. Not only does Daquan Bowers has a knee problem which is seriously starting to bother coaches, if you watch tape of him play, you'll see that he gets held up a whole lot. When he's not in the backfield makign plays, he spends a lot of time trying - and failing - to disengage from blockers, and the fact he played a lot more snaps it seems from the left side of the line, instead of the right for a DE should bring up some questions. Quinn has shown that although he doesn't have that awareness to time off a great first step, he's got all the moves, and production to be an elite DE once he gets back to playing football.

 

San Fransisco 49ers - 7 - Prince Amukamara

 

CB is arguably one of San Fransisco's biggest needs. Peterson is off the board, Von Miller and Quin are off the board so the 49ers go with the second best corner in the draft. Should instantly help them out. His got high character, great work ethic, aggressive sometimes too much, but he's got all the tools. The 49ers might also target a quaterback, nothing gets a new coaching regiment started then a new quarterback.

 

Tennessee Titans - 8 - Blaine Gabbert

 

Vince Young is gone, Fisher is gone, so the Titans grab the best quarterback available, and there new face of the franchise. This will open doors for the Titans to have a very good young core of offensive players with CJ at RB, Britt at wideout and Gabbert as the QB for the future. His ability to read defenses is obviously a work in progress, but there is no doubt that a lot of pieces including a great running game and an emerging receiver will help Gabbert evolve into the player he has the potential to be. Bowers is also a possibility here if Babin leaves, but his knee injuries will probably cause him to keep dropping.

 

Dallas Cowboys - 9 - Nick Fairley

 

With Nick dropping on boards, he falls right into Dallas' waiting hands. JJ Watt and Cameron Jordan are both possibilities, but Nick makes more sense then the other two. As far as scheme goes, Nick fits better and can play both in a 2-gap and a 1-gap system then JJ Watt and Jordan would, he has a rare combination of size and strength, and unlike the other two, he is used to being double teamed on a consistent basis. Cameron Jordan would also make sense here, but Nick weighs more and has shown the explosiveness and strength to get the job done. He does have some question about his motor skills, etc, but Rob Ryan knows how to get the most out of his players, makes sense.

 

Washington Redskins - 10 - Jake Locker

 

Surprise? Not really, a lot of people have Locker shooting up the boards. Locker was a favorite to go in the top 5, probably 1 last year, but with one more year in schools, some of his flaws were spotted and are now being discussed as if those flaws make him a worse prospect then he was last year. Outside of his inconsistent accuracy which is coach-able, he has all the tools. From speed, to the feet, to the arm, to the leadership. Mike likes QBs that can move around in the pocket and go out on bootlegs, Locker would be both a great fit, and a bad fit for that offense because he has the tendency of throwing across his body a lot. Will take some grooming and coaching, but Locker has all the upside and potential to be in that upper group of QBs before Blaine and Newton.

 

Houston Texans - 11 - Aldon Smith

 

Second best defensive end on my board behind Quinn, Aldon Smith is a downright beast. He's got the frame, the hands, the explosiveness, the athleticism, the swagger, everything you could want in a pass rusher. He has all the tools to be a downright dominant pro-bowl pass rusher, with enough strength to shed blockers, use many different pass rushing moves, and the Texans who are switching to a 3-4 could use his services right away. Mario Williams and Aldon Smith would make a great one-two punch, one from a 3 stance and the other from a 2 stance.

 

Minnesota Vikings - 12 - Tyvon Smith

 

With making this pick, im looking at the Vikings from not only a now perspective, but a looking into the future perspective. No matter who they end up going with at quarterback, they will eventually need a franchise QB to take over whenever this band-aid QB leaves. And along with that, they will need a franchise LT, and Tyvon Smith has all the intangibles to be that guy. If he was to get picked, he would not start from day one. He just turned 20, he's raw, a lot to learn, including getting used to playing on the left side instead of the right, but he has all the tools to be one of the best left tackles in the NFL in the coming years. This would be almost perfect timing with Bryant McKinnie getting up there in age and will soon need a replacement. Grabbing a QB this early when there is this much talent on the board doesn't make sense unless if you are truly sold on him. And with the contract they just gave Robioson, I doubt they target another DE in the 1st.

 

Detroit Lions - 13 - DaQuan Bowers

 

Will fall to the Lions because of concerns of his knee. Even if he's here, the Lions will more then likely try trading out of this pick. But, grabbing a left tackle, when right tackle is your real position of need on the line makes no sense. So the Lions opt out to taking the best player available. In this case it happens to be Bowers. With KVB getting up in age, and having many rotational DE behind him, Bowers will come in and instantly give us another good pass rusher to go along with Suh and Avril. Grabbing Jimmy Smith this early would be a reach, especially when you consider all the character concerns he has.

 

St. Louis Rams - 14 - Julio Jones

 

Perfect scenario for the Rams. Even though Receiver is not as big of a need as some of the positions accross that Dline, nothing helps a young QB more then a big receiver, and that's exactly what Jones brings to the game. Major differences between Jones and Green doesn't come in the physical department, it comes in the hands and body control, where AJ excels at. Julio Jones is as gifted physically, he may not have the hands but that wont matter. With Bradford throwing to Julio Jones, that's a recipe for success for the next possibly 10 years.

 

Miami Dolphins - 15 - Mike Pouncey

 

There is no Adrian Peterson in this year's draft, nor is there a Chris Johnson or even Charles, Maurice Jones Drew. It doesn't make sense to grab a running back when there are many other positions you could possibly target with this pick that would be more helpful, and there are less of in both FA and later in the draft. So you grab the center most -not including me- believe to be the best, and worry about addressing a deeper position later in the draft.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars - 16 - Ryan Kerrigan

 

Ryan Kerrigan would be the best complement to Kampman. High motor, tough guy, looks like he'd be a great fit for the Jaguars. Cameron Jordan would not be a bad choice, but he seems like he'd be just another player in the mold of whom they have in Tyson. Jimmy Smith has too many character issues to be taken by the Jags, and I don't see them taking Rahim moore this early. Unless if they want to reach for a guard, or move around a lot of players on that Oline, grabbing an OT with this pick would be a reach, so they go with Ryan Kerrigan.

 

New England Patriots - 17 - Cameron Jordan

 

Easiest pick in the draft. Everyone is surprised Jordan has fallen this much, the Patriots jump him. He's a perfect fit as a DE in the 3-4, will probably be a starter from day one, and plus great value. He has all the tools to be a good 3-4 DE, size, strength, explosiveness, inconsistent with his hands but that will improve over time.

 

San Diego Chargers - 18 - JJ Watt

 

Great fit for the Chargers, they don't have many holes, but on defense, there biggest weakness was the running game. With Watt, that part of the defense is instantly fixed. He has all the intangibles and upside that Smith likes. Just needs to improve his hands and consistency with pad level.

 

New York Giants - 19 - Nate Solder

 

Was a little split on this pick, but decided to go with a tackle. The Giants don't have many holes offensively but many question whether or not Beatty is the answer at left tackle moving forward, many believe he isn't. If that's the case, the Giants take the best tackle on the board, great value pick as well. Nate Solder won't even have to start right away, he can learn and be groomed to a starting LT spot, the Giants Oline coach is very good at coaching talent, and there's no doubt that Solder has the talent.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - 20 - Justin Houston

 

Came down to Justin Houston or Clayborn, and while Clayborn might end up being the pick here, I believe the Bucs chose Houston for his pass rush ability. Justin Houston knows how to threaten the corner, he's extremely quick and was a consistent force in the SEC. Making the switch to playing DE in the NFL will be easy for him, and he will have the comfort of having two very good DTs to pear him up with. Justin Houston will be another member to this very young DLine group.

 

Kansas City Chiefs - 21 - Phil Taylor

 

Another easy pick, Chiefs struggled against the run late, so you draft one of the DTs in this year's draft with the most potential. Phil Taylor has a big frame, very strong, and athletic. In my opinion he is a huge boom or bust kind of guy, he has some character issue, but there is no denying the skill set, and size is there. Assuming he has his head on the right way moving forward, this move could end up being a very good one.

 

Indianapolis Colts - 22 - Anthony Castonzo

 

Not only did we see Manning struggle all season long with pass rushers in his face, but the starting LT that was responsible for most of it might not be back next year. I don;t believe that Castonzo will ever be a elite left tackle, but he has all the tools to be a very good left tackle for many years to come. Although he might need to sit out a year, or at least most of one because he is still very raw in some areas.

 

Philadelphia Eagles - 23 - Gabe Carimi

 

Strongly considered Jimmy Smith here, but Carimi is without a doubt the best RT in this year's draft. Most starting experience, and an absolute mauler in the running game. Watch the highlights of him against OSU and Iowa while facing two elite DE in the Big Ten he dominated in the running game. I would not be surprised if Jimmy Smith is the pick here, Andy Reid does not target Offensive lineman with his 1st pick often so they might opt out to getting help for the secondary. But no position on defense is as lacking as the Eagles' RT position.

 

New Orleans Saints - 24 - Adrian Clayborn

 

Speaking of the Big Ten, the Saints need a lot of help at defensive end, and there is a huge possibility they might trade up if one starts to slip. But if they stay put here, I would be surprised if Clayborn is not the guy. He's not a speed rusher, but he is a 3-down DE and he would bring a lot of energy to that line. There are some character concerns, but I think the Saints along with Payton can get the most out of him.

 

Seattle Seahawks - 25 - Jimmy Smith

 

Mike Pouncey will be the pick here if someone in the top 20 doesn't reach for him. But in case he isn't Jimmy Smith becomes option number 2. A top 15 talent who will drop because he has a lot of character issues, the Seahawks need help with there passing defense which was pretty awful last year. Jimmy Smith is an instant starter for them. There might be a bit of scheme issues because Smith is regarded as more of a press corner, and the Hawks run more of a zone, which is why there is a small chance this pick might actually end up being Harris, but I don't see them passing up on Smith simply because of his talent level.

 

Baltimore Ravens - 26 - Brandon Harris

 

For a long time I was considering Sherod as the pick, it would make a lot of sense because in the event that you don't get Jared Gaither back, you need a replacement. Oher is not a LT, he's a RT, and they already have a RT in Yanda who showed he can be very effective from that spot. So they opt out to grab Brandon Harris. With all there CBs about to hit FA, and nobody knows if they'll get any back, they get another baller, playmaker to go along with Reed. Harris' footwork needs some work, But the natural fluidity, body control and make-up speed is there for him to mature into a very good starting corner in the NFL.

 

Atlanta Falcons - 27 - Derreck Sherod

 

There is a big chance that all the good defensive ends will be off the board. And the way it seems, Blalock, there starting RT might be leaving through free agency, and compared to popular beliefs, Sam Baker played pretty bad this year. So the Falcons decide it's time to move Baker over to the right, and pick up a finesse LT who will help keep Matt Ryan upright for the upcoming season. There is a chance they target a receiver, but with all these possibly good receivers with second round grades I don't see them going there in the first.

 

New England Patriots - 28 - Stefen Wisniewski

 

A lot of changes are upcoming for the Patriots and there O-line. Possibly three offensive linemen wont return for the Patriots. That can't be ignored. The Patriots never take an OLB in the first, so that's out of the equation, and plus I am not high at all on Akeem Ayers. Wisniewski is my favorite center in this year's draft, I like him more then I do Mike. He is a great technician, which is the most important thing for a center or even guard, considering the fact you always face guys who are bigger then you. Get's down low, always delivers a perfect snap, great feet, does a great job blocking through players. He also has that Patriot appeal to him.

 

Chicago bears - 29 - Benjamin Ijalana

 

One of the most underrated player in this year's draft. A small school player, has the chance to possibly the best guard, or tackle in this year's draft. Has almost the perfect left tackle body, long arms, quick agile feet, great padding level, gifted athlete. He can play either LG or LT, the Bears will probably put him at guard first because he is a very dominant blocker, but he could very well move to LT by the end of the year, because he is a hell of an athlete, and almost everything you look for in a LT.

 

New York Jets - 30 - Muhamed Wilkerson

 

DE is probably the biggest need for the Jets on defense. Muhamed Wilkerson will be able to come in and probably make an instant impact. Impressed at the combine, the skill set is there to be successful, it's just all about improving his technique, getting better with his pad level.

 

Pittsburgh Steelers - 31 - Martez Wilson

 

This was a hard one, I almost gave the Steelers Aaron Williams, but he might be a reach at this moment, and more importantly, I don't know if he fits well int he Steelers scheme. With the amount of blitzing they do, I don't know if he can handle playing a lot of zone. Martex Wilson has received many 1st round grades, and it makes sense that he will sit out a year, learn somewhat like Timmons did, and take over whenever James Farrior is done.

 

Green Bay Packers - 32 - Corey Liuget

 

Steal at this point, here's a guy who could go as high as the top 20, the Packers get him near the end of the 1st. Is a big anchor player, and has a lot of upside, could do well in Green Bay's 3-4 scheme. Getting a G might be the way to go, but a lot of guards have 2nd round grades so they may target one in the second.

[DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241]

Round 2:

New England patriots – 33 – Brooks Reed OLB

There’s a huge chance he won’t be there when the Patriots pick, the Packers might target him, but if he’s there at 33, no doubt in my mind the Patriots take him.

 

Buffalo Bills – 34 – Akeem Ayers OLB

Drops because of questions on his 40 time, versatile in that he can play OLB in both a 3-4 and 4-3.

 

Cincinnati Bengals – 35 - Christian Ponder QB

Getting Green in the first and Ponder in the second? Win.

 

Denver Broncos – 36 - Stephen Paea DT

Grabbing Marcel in the first, and Paea in the second would do wanders for the Broncos who are making the switch.

 

Cleveland Browns – 37 – Torrey Smith WR

Falls to the Cleveland Browns, huge upgrade from what they had last year.

 

Arizona Cardinals – 38 – Danny Watkins G

Big guard, fits well in the Cadinals’ offensive line. Possibly going to start from day one.

 

Tennessee Titans – 39 - Rodney Hudson C/G

Titans need interior help, Hudson would be in the rotation with other interior lineman.

 

Dallas Cowboys – 40 – Rahim Moore FS

Safety is probably the Cowboys’ biggest need, best safety fits that need. Big playmaker.

 

Washington Redskins – 41 – Jon Baldwin WR

Instant starter; will develop with Locker and will be a huge part of this team’s success moving forward.

 

Houston Texans – 42 – Aaron Williams CB

Doesn’t matter whether he plays CB or safety, he has the potential to be an instant starter and help out that secondary a lot.

 

Minnesota Vikings – 43 – Ryan Mallett - QB

Should of gone in the 1st, slips into the second, and the Vikings now have their possible QB for the future.

 

Detroit Lions - 44 – Bruce Carter - OLB

OLB is a huge need for the Lions, Carter will start at one of the OLB positions and become a playmaker.

 

San Francisco 49ers – 45 - Sam Acho - OLB

49ers need a consistent pass rusher, Acho might be that guy.

 

Denver Broncos – 46 – Mark Ingram RB

Great value here, they get a between the tackle guy who can lower his pads and pick up extra yards.

 

St. Louis Rams – 47 - Quinton Carter S

Well rounded safety, probably most complete. Can play either safety, probably going to start his rookie year.

 

Oakland Raiders – 48 – Leonard Hankerson, WR

Assuming Jason Campbell is the guy at quarterback, he’ll need a playmaker at wideout. Hankerson can be that guy.

 

Jacksonville Jaguars – 49 – Marcus Cannon OG/OT

Jacksonville Jaguars’ interior is the weakest part of their line, Marcus Cannon will be an instant starter.

 

San Diego Chargers – 50 - Jabaal Sheard, DE/OLB

Great variety of pass rush moves, will be a situational pass rusher, might eventually earn a starting spot.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 51 – Mason Foster, OLB

Great tackler, great instincts, and since the Buccaneers run a Tampa two, he might even end up sliding inside.

 

New York Giants – 52 – Kyle Rudolph TE

All around best tight end in this year’s draft. Instead of reaching for a CB, the Giants grab best player available.

 

Indianapolis Colts – 53 – Tyler Sash SS

The Colts have virtually no one at that position; Tyler Sash is a leader from the same school as Bob Sanders.

 

Philadelphia Eagles – 54 – Ras-I Dowling CB

Eagles like what they see with him, tall, long corner with great ball skills, helps a needing secondary.

 

Kansas City Chiefs – 55 – Titus Young WR

Adds speed and another receiving threat to the Chiefs already explosive offense.

 

New Orleans Saints – 56 – Mikel Leshoure RB

Saints go BPA here and grab the second best RB in the draft.

 

Seattle Seahawks – 57 – Cameron Hayward DT/DE

Beefing up your defensive front never hurts.

 

Baltimore Ravens – 58 – Randall Cobb WR

Could end up being Joe Flacco’s favorite target on 3rd downs, a smart, savvy receiver.

 

Atlanta Falcons – 59 - Lance Kendricks TE

Nobody knows how much Tony G has left in him, but Kendrinks looks like he will be a stud in the receiving game in the NFL.

 

New England Patriots – 60– Ryan Williams RB

Patriots will get a RB in this year’s draft. And with no big holes on their roster, they upgrade their RB position now.

 

San Diego Chargers – 61 – Greg Little WR

Chargers might need a new #2 or 3 receiver come next year, and Greg Little might end up being that guy.

 

Chicago Bears – 62 - Allen Bailey

Fits well into the Bears’ tampa-two scheme. With the release of Harris, depth is needed at that position, he has a lot of potential.

 

Pittsburgh Steelers – 63 - Davon House CB

Steelers need depth at the CB position, Davon brings that, and a possible starter in the future.

 

Green Bay Packers – 64 - Dontay Moch OLB

Speed rusher, very raw, but could thrive in Capers’ explosive defense.

Im up to discuss any of the picks, in any rounds.

[RANGA+ 1,210]

Love the Acho and Jenkins picks for us in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. If we get those two along with Prince, our defense is pretty much set for the season.

 

With that said though, I wouldn't be surprised to see us go QB in between rounds 2 and 4...

and thanks for the comments everyone.

[Tridentdawgpound 1,043]

I like the Quinn, Smith, and Romeus picks, but Chekwa is a reach and we certainly wouldn't need another CB afterwords. I'd rather spend one pick on a CB and another on a LB or RT.

[Purple Pride 4]

Really liking 3 of the 4 picks for the Vikings but why would we take a TE when we have Kleinsasser (will leave when retired never before) and Shiancoe (obvious that the Vikings love him). Kleinsasser is a Blocking TE and Shiancoe is a Catching TE so I think we have that covered.

 

Would love to here your reasoning though.

After the way Jones looked at the Senior Bowl I don't any part of Greg Jones until waaaaay late in the draft. 5th round or later.

[DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241]

I updated the draft a little, moved a couple of people around and put Bowers back into the 1st round.

 

I like the Quinn, Smith, and Romeus picks, but Chekwa is a reach and we certainly wouldn't need another CB afterwords. I'd rather spend one pick on a CB and another on a LB or RT.

 

Yea, RT would make more sense then grabbing two CBs, I gotta change that as well. lol

 

Really liking 3 of the 4 picks for the Vikings but why would we take a TE when we have Kleinsasser (will leave when retired never before) and Shiancoe (obvious that the Vikings love him). Kleinsasser is a Blocking TE and Shiancoe is a Catching TE so I think we have that covered.

 

Would love to here your reasoning though.

 

Shiancoe had a pretty average -to bellow average- season last year, and he's getting up there in age, and he's going into the final year in his contract... I figure the Vikings would want to target a possible future replacement for Shiancoe with someone who brings virtually the same dimension to their offense... He more then likely wouldn't be there the next round so I figured this was the best spot.

Jones was probably a guy that should go in the 5th to 6th... He added weight, and it affected his game, he's no longer as athletic or physical point of view, I only have him going to the Eagles because he plays great assignment football, especially in the running game... Which is what Ernie Sims lacked. The Eagles might go with Scot Lutrus or Colin McCarthy if either are available that late.

[Purple Pride 4]

Yeah but we have Kleisasser. Vikings will keep him and they have big faith in Shiancoe.

Most receiving yards in one season for Jimmy Kleinsasser was 401 yards back in 2003, that same year he had 4 TDs, outside of that year he's only had 2 touchdowns, for a total of 6 his whole career... And he's 34, so he's not young and could possibly retire after next season. Shiancoe is also in his 30s and probably has reached his peak, this past season wasn't a very good one and im assuming he won't get any better... If the Vikings don't have a proven QB at the helm next year, they probably won't be a playoff team... So why not grab a tight end who could blossom into a future starter, and probably a pro bowler.

 

That's just how I see it at least.

Kleinsasser isn't a receiving TE. He is a blocker. If Shiancoe leaves next season we will draft one then IMO.

Oh it could definitely happen. I would just hate it. I see what you're saying, he's fast and smart, but with the 9 technique now being in place up front for us, I just see him getting eaten alive because of his lack of physicality and lack of an ability to proficiently shed blocks. On top of us running a 9 technique we really just aren't big up front so small LB's don't really work for us imo at least.

Great job Dmac, but you may want to look at this:

New England Patriots - 17 - Cameron Jordan

 

Easiest pick in the draft. Everyone is surprised Jordan has fallen this much, the Patriots jump him. He's a perfect fit as a DE in the 3-4, will probably be a starter from day one, and plus great value. He has all the tools to be a good 3-4 DE, size, strength, explosiveness, inconsistent with his hands but that will improve over time.

 

San Diego Chargers - 18 - Cameron Jordan

 

Great fit for the Chargers, they don;t have many holes, but on defense, there biggest weakness was the running game. With Jordan, that part of the defense is instantly fixed. He has all the intangibles and upside that Smith likes. Just needs to improve his hands and consistency with pad level.

[Packers Dynasty 2010 116]

Give ya props for doing a 5 round draft. Reading reports, not sure if Liuget would fit in a 3-4. I would much rather draft Reed or if we do D-line in the 1st then Cameron Heyward would be a better choice. The target a Guard in the 2nd. With Watkins, Cannon, and Hudson off the board, could go after James Carpenter. It may be a reach in the 2nd round but he is supposed to fit in a zone blocking scheme like the Pack use and Colledge is probably gone and I wouldn't be too sure of Lang playing so picking a guard makes sense.

[DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241]

lmao, fixed it RZB... The side effect of editing and re-editing your mocks.

 

Kleinsasser isn't a receiving TE. He is a blocker. If Shiancoe leaves next season we will draft one then IMO.

 

I mean if that's the way you wanna look at it, I guess they would go somewhere else in the middle rounds, but I can almost guarantee you that they grab a TE somewhere from rounds 3-7... All 3 of there tight ends are 30+ years old, all three are coming into the final years of there contracts, it makes senses for a new coach who will probably have a new quarterback to draft a young TE that can/will develop, and can even line up as a receiver.

 

Oh it could definitely happen. I would just hate it. I see what you're saying, he's fast and smart, but with the 9 technique now being in place up front for us, I just see him getting eaten alive because of his lack of physicality and lack of an ability to proficiently shed blocks. On top of us running a 9 technique we really just aren't big up front so small LB's don't really work for us imo at least.

 

Actually, that went into consideration in giving the Eagles Jones... He's put on some weight, and weighed in at 240 at the combine, he makes for an undersized ILB, but pretty good sized OLB. Athletically, and from a playmaking view on the other hand... He's taken a couple steps back... I honestly don't wont him as a Lion either.

Actually, i'd be surprised if the Packers go the whole draft without grabbing a guard at some point... The one guy I had them taking went early, so I just kinda gave them a more defensive oriented draft.

I have to give you much credit for doing this for five rounds. Good show. As for the Chiefs round 1 pick, I can't see them going for anyone with character issues. They do need help in the nose tackle department, but I see them picking a WR in the first round or possibly trading down. All of the good/great first round talent on the DL will be gone before the Chiefs ever get on the board.

[Bangy 19]

Personally If we can't take Hayward imo we should then make a move for Marcus Cannon. He looks like he will be a beast in the NFL and would fit well in the Packers Oline.

 

I also love the Moch pick I think a lot of teams are going to struggle with his speed and pass rushing ability with Clay on the other side.

 

Good mock DMAC
