NFL Mock Draft - Pool B

[D-Unit]

We held a quick 2 hour mock draft on Memorial Day with 9 teams.

QB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR, TE
3-4 Defense or 4-3 Defense

The idea was to build a franchise from scratch that would go on forever (not necessarily to try win the Superbowl immediately).

Teams are separated into 3 Pools (grouped by draft order).

Considering the idea behind this mock, vote for the one you think is best. Some teams have chosen to build 3-4 Defenses versus 4-3 Defenses. Consider the system and the players that fit in their defense when you judge.

All votes will be tallied on Friday 12PM on the NFLDC Time Clock to determine the winner of each Pool.

* Remember: The idea was to build a franchise from scratch that would go on forever (not necessarily to try win the Superbowl immediately). ...and consider defensive player fits in each system (3-4 and 4-3).

[Vilma the Animal]

3 in a tight race.

[T-Col]

willie parker of reggie bush??? nice choice :wink:

[familyguy555]

team 3

[thetedginnshow]

Team 2 blows the other two away. Team 1 has too many Colts and former Colts with a weak secondary. Team 3 having Kevin Kearse play DE in the 3-4 is ridiculous. Team 2 has ten times the defense of the other two, and quite possibly the best offense for the long haul.

[Nerv]

I went with team 2, but it certainly doesnt blow the other 2 away. I just like the defense they put together, though the offense aint bad.

[smittyjs]

Tema 3 is the best IMO

[tom]

I think all 3 have flaws...

1) I'd be worried about Mannings decline, and the fact that a few of the players are unproven and/or injury prone...

2) Front four is the biggest question mark I've seen in a long time...

3) A few of the players are on the decline and Kearse isn't a 3-4 DE... maybe if he added some weight...

#1 has a really good defense, but that receiving corps is not the greatest. I agree with #2, a lot of unproven guys. I think #3 could be better on defense with less old, injury-prone guys.

I voted for #2. Other than the D-Line, it's not too bad.

[jetvilma51]

i dont like eli even though i like team 2, but team 3 has my vote

[birdman11]

john henderson isnt a 3-4 DE, he is like 330,

[tom]

john henderson isnt a 3-4 DE, he is like 330, nfl website has him listed as a DE

[ATLDirtyBirds]

I hate Eli Manning, but team 2 gets my vote.

[draftguru151]

None of these 3 are as impressive as pool C, but team 2 looks like they will be good for a long time. Team 3 has a horrible 3-4. Team 1 is good, but 2 looks better for the future.

Uh.....

[draftguru151]

I was typing fast. :oops:

If you wanted to win a superbowl right away it would easily be team 3. But since it's a franchise, team 2 gets my nod.

[The Unseen]

Team 2 over Team 3 barely. Jevon Kearse is NOT a 3-4 DE.

nfl website has him listed as a DE

That's an error. Don't know why they haven't noticed yet; it's been there for awhile.

[elway777]

jevon as a 3-4 DE? :shock:


anyway i voted for 2

[moc182]

3.

I wonder who's been voting for 1, since no one has replied with that as their choice.

I guess it really depends what kind of fish you're talking about, the size of said fish, and what you whack it against

[ninerfan]

Team 3 - all in prime and have points to prove

[P-L]

I like three barely over two.

[Colts]

i dont like eli manning and team 3's 3-4 is terrible so i voted for 1.

[tom]

I agree it's a shoddy 3-4, but given that only starters were taken, it's probably the most versatile team, in so far as changing personel for a 4-3... a bit like the patriots would do whenever they switch bases... Kearse and taylor moving to the ends, Morgan to the Outside, Odell to the middle, and henderson and maake to DT's

[Shane P. Hallam]

I think Team 3 has a good balance of youth and veteran leadership, lots of guys ready to explode.

[Draft King]

Team 2 would be great in the long run, what a beast CB duo.

[tom]

Team 2 would be great in the long run, what a beast CB duo.

I think Chris Gamble is good, but not massive...

DeAngelo will soon be the nr.1 corner in the NFL

[Shane P. Hallam]

Are we putting the three winners against each other next?

[Eaglez.Fan]

Team 2

[jkpigskin]

wow... chose every team that has the lead in the pole currently...

this pool seemed to have less talent than the others
