Pekka for Predator Pontiff - January 30, 2012 reply

Aye.

These are my three also.

This would also be my 3.

Assuming Decastro is already taken and Floyd is also off the board.

That's what I assumed as well

And that scenario isn't as crazy as you think!

But I really don’t think the Browns will trade up. McCoy isn’t bad and there are so many other needs that are more important than getting RG3.

I really think the Browns want Blackmon more than RGIII

+10000000000000000000

but I don’t think they’ll trade up for him. He’s not that elite of a prospect.

I agree, but I didn't think Julio was worth the trade up either.

bingo

that trade is what will make this one a strong possibility

I'll give it a shot

Doug Decastro, Alshon Jeffrey, and Melvin Ingram

if Jeffrey isnt there, I’ll take Wright or Floyd…….in that order

I don't think Decasto will last that long

and we don’t need another DE

doesn't Ingram play OLB?

and whoever the next best OL then…….if Decastro is gone, and that’d be my first of the 3 picks

Have you noticed that I just can't seem to do a "normal" Mock draft? It always involves some twist of fiction...? lol

That's why they're awesome!

cause literally none of the mocks are going to come true! might as well make the most obscure ones

THIS

I Would Select Kendall Wright

Then I would attempt to trade picks 21 and 22 for additional 2012 and 2013 draft picks.

Trent Richardson, Cordy Glen, and Deunta Hightower

A big assumption being that Richardson falls due to the devaluing of the RB position.

CaliRamMan - January 30, 2012 reply

Me likey! Got to find a DT this draft. RB and WR are a coin flip until we hear whether Lloyd resigns

re-signs

aaaah......the ol 'resigns vs. re-signs' conundrum

totally different things! I also have to cinch my backside when I see someone talk about Lloyd ‘resigning.’ Nooooooooooooo!

It "their" and "they're" that give me a titch when misplaced...

and the oft-forgotten

‘there’………biggest loser of them all

Makes me cringe!

When you write a quick article lick this one (5 min) mistakes do happen. I encourage everyone to do at least a quick read-through on their fanposts before posting.
I do, occasionally, edit a fanpost or two for the authors. I’m here to help anyone who has a writing question or needs a beta reader

you said 'lick this one'

ha!

HA! Comment flaws are lesser transgressions :-)

This one was a typing glitch. One of my most common typing mistakes has to do with the word – “side” I often type “sied” for some reason?

Trent Richardson-If available if not – Lamar Miller
Kendal Wright
Mike Adams

Konz, Still or Brockers and Martin

You think Martin will drop this far? Getting Konz and Martin would be huge

Probably not but the 3rd OT could still be available at 17, then the DT and Konz

When the Mock draft first started to appear, OL Levy Adcock was getting some notice. What happened to him?

His deficiencies appeared at the shrine game

He had a hard time with speed rushers and that was supposed to be one of his strengths. Look for a rebound at some point this spring for Adcock. It’s the kind of thing NFL coaches can help him look good with.

Wright stock seems to be skyrocketing? Has he overtaken Jeffrey as the #2 WR prospect?

By far

Ram_Redemption - January 30, 2012 via mobile reply

I would be interested to know how some of you rank the WR's

Mine:
1. Blackmon
2. Floyd
3. Wright
4. Jeffrey
5. open (maybe Sanu)

jones above Jeffrey, not IMO, but so they say

Ya I wouldn't argue that.

Jeffrey has red flags all over him.

so does Jones

he wears oven mitts when he plays

I've seen Sanu being taken by SF in round one on Wyche's Mock over at NFL.com

Jeffrey hasn't been the 2nd best for a while

dwight jones is even higher

Current Rankings

1 Justin Blackmon WR1 Oklahoma State rJr 6-1 215 speed 4.54
2 Kendall Wright WR Baylor Sr 5-10 190 speed 4.42
3 Michael Floyd WR Notre Dame Sr 6-3 224 speed 4.54
4*Mohamed Sanu WR Rutgers Jr 6-2 215 speed 4.57
5 *Alshon Jeffery WR South Carolina Jr 6-4 229 speed 4.56
6 *Rueben Randle WR LSU Jr 6-3 208 speed 4.57
7 Brian Quick WR Appalachian State rSr 6-4 222 speed 4.63
8 Nick Toon WR Wisconsin rSr 6-2 220 speed 4.52
9 Dwight Jones WR9 North Carolina Sr 6-3 226 speed 4.53
10 *Stephen Hill WR Georgia Tech Jr 6-4 206 speed 4.57

What are the * for?

Underclassmen

why does everyone hate Jeffery?

I don't

He’s a big guy, nice redzone threat.

I know nothing about Brian Quick

but I find it interesting that Jeffery, who’s been in the ’who’s the best WR’ talk all season long, is in the 5 spot here………two picks ahead of a guy from App St.

Here's my current top 20.....flame away

Blackmon
Jeffry
Floyd
Wright
Jones, Dwight
Criner
McNutt
Sanu
Jones, Marvin
Toon
Hill
Streeter
Fuller
Randle
Kearse
Broyles
Givens
Childs
Quick
Tuinei

I love that site

I’m always referring to it to find players whom I’ve never heard of, or don’t know where they played, etc.

WR Aaron Dobson is my sleeper pick this year

Quite a sleeper

You know he didn’t declare, right?

Is "Quick" related to the Philly receiver from years ago?

Brian Quick.....

No idea

How about Toon? Is he related to Al?

This double posting is bugging me. I'm going to switch over to Chrome. BRB

His son

But the kid is as good as advertised. Definitely not riding Dads coattails.

I think Blackmon, Floyd, and Wright are top 3. (order debatable)

I would be interested to know why you would take Jeffrey as the 2nd WR in the draft? Obviously his size is a huge plus.

It kind of falls into the

I can’t fault the guy for having a shitty QB, category. He’s transgressed this year, but I tend to not penalize draft position for those kinds of lulls. I had him high last year and he’s as good now as he was last year regardless of how the Cocks used him.

My argument would be why the poor physical shape? Lack of conditioning?

I usually don't dig that deep

If he has a work ethic problem or is out of shape is something I knew nothing about.

I believe he has all the tools

I just hope he isn’t the next Mike Williams.

I doubt we pick him up

So, yeah, I do too.

...and he didn't even go to Penn St....? lol

“…regardless of how the Cocks used him.”

That statement sounds kind of porn

LOL!

Who? Me?

Doug's

“…Regardless of how

'wipes off forehead'

I’d never subltly hint at such things.

so which ones are the Gilyard and Avery of the draft?

cause we’re getting that type

That's a trick question, huh?

That would be the third and fourth rounders

avery was the first WR taken, 2nd round

that was a mistake for sure

We should've picked a long snapper

or a sapper

or a lapper

I got one of those years ago in down town Ptown.

ahead of Devin Thomas, I believe

quite the receiver class

actually, I'll take that back

because every other WR in that draft looks pretty damn desirable right about now

Yeah not hard

If they’re in uniform, they’re desirabler

hell, if they're not in a wheelchair

they’re the most desirablest

Wright seems

to have the most speed even though he’s a little fella.

OC

Rams OC said they would run the ball first; I interpret that as pass the ball 100 times and hand it SJ twice. Better draft some OL and receivers.

JW Coop - January 30, 2012 reply

I think you're correct on that one.

Which of the WR prospect have the "burner" speed? who has the fastest 44 time?

40

Looks like this guy

743 Dorian Graham WR 104 Syracuse Sr 5-10 185 4.32

Then Kendal Wright at 4.42

No 4.1 or 2 guys this year? I wonder how long it's been since this has happened?

There's a guy from UConn who's supposedly gotten below 4.2

Jarius Wrights pretty fast, too. It pretty much depends on the timers at the combine what will happen though. Usually they’re quicker on the button, there. Times sometimes drop.

Demps would have been the fastest but he's not coming, I guess.

Nope, nobody better than 4.32 until after the combine maybe

Joe Adams 4.38
Jarius Wright 4.34

Are there any LBs like Von Miller in the draft this year?

Nope

simply put

Not a knock on the LBs this year though.

Just not many Von Millers out there

Brown and Burfict not his caliber?

Burfict is considered a high ceiling guy and Brown has huge quickness

I’d say if Burfict pulls his head out and succumbs to a good coaching staff, he could become elite. Brown has some issues with taking the right angles and with wrapping up on his tackles. On the college level he’s able to make up for these defects with supreme quickness, in the NFL he’ll need to fix those problems to be elite. Still an awesome talent, though. Brown runs a sub 4.4 40 at the combine I bet.

How about Burfict, Wright and Glenn for the three picks?

I really want a DT though!!!!

You're number one rated DT is

Devon Still DT 1 Penn State rSr 6-4 310

Here we go

Still
Brockers
Poe
Ta’amu
Worthy
Thompson
Chapman
Martin
Reyes
Cox
Forston
Wolfe
Randall
Hicks
Baptiste
Regis
Powell
Jerrod-Eddie
Conrath
Harris

Yeah I want a DT too

I think I’d take one with that 2nd or 3rd pick in this scenario, or even in a straight tradeless draft because I think the drop off is less substantial in that position than in any of the O-line or OLB slots.

if we have those 3 picks

I go for Martin, DeCastro and Jeffrey.

If Martin is gone, DeCastro first, then Janoris Jenkins then Jeffrey.

Solidify the interior of the line and get a playmaker on offense and defense.

1st pick of the 2nd would be an OLB (not saying Brown coz I’ve seen no tape) and first pick of the 3rd would be best RB available.

If we have another 2nd I take the best DT or C or FS.

Infemous - January 30, 2012 via mobile reply

Getting Martin and Decastro would be HUGE! The guys seem to be down on Jeffrey right now, with Wright taking his place on the WR list
