Pats Mock equals SUCCESS!

[coordinator0]

The first two rounds for Baltimore are alright, but we don't need another DE/OLB tweener in the third. We need a true 4-3 end. The dyas of the 3-4 look to be coming to a close for the Ravens :(.

Yeah I suppose you're right. Cameron Heyward any better?

[RaiderNation]

Once again, why would we draft Mays? Just cause he is a athlete right? He doesnt fill a position of need, and Al actually picks for needs even if its not the right player. Give us Anthony Davis in the 1st, Marvin Austin in the 2nd, Jason Pierre-Paul in the 3rd and also we have new englands 3rd so Id like Kris O'Dowd there

[critesy]

skins used their 3rd rounder in the supplemental draft and anyways selvish capers is garbage so in that case pouncey would be much better. or even sam young

[coordinator0]

Yeah I suppose you're right. Cameron Heyward any better?

I would honestly love Heyward as a Raven, but I'm not so sure as a 4-3 end. If we were sticking to a 3-4 he would be perfect. We don't need a LE because we just drafted Kruger last year and that looks to be his best position.

[wicket]

32 New Orleans Saints - Derrick Morgan, DE/OLB, 6-4, 270, Georgia Tech*
Im not upset about this pick but not that happy either, he does make sense in the saints defense but DEnd is a need but far from the biggest, better picks would be the two DT's listed below imo.
36 Detroit Lions - Arthur Jones, DT/DE, 6-4, 300, Syracuse
42 Carolina Panthers - Marvin Austin, DT, 6-3, 305, North Carolina*

64 New Orleans Saints - Bruce Carter, OLB, 6-3, 225, North Carolina*
A reach in my book and there is a similar but better player remaining on the board in travis lewis (whom Im not nuts about either but still better). If you change the first round pick to one of those DT's JPP or Clayborn would also make a lot of sense. Nate Allen could also happen cuz saints are thin in the Safety position
78 Cleveland Browns (from NYJ) - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE/OLB, 6-6, 265, South Florida*
81 Tennessee Titans - Travis Lewis, OLB, 6-2, 230, Oklahoma#
85 Denver Broncos - Adrian Clayborn, DE, 6-3, 282, Iowa*
94 Minnesota Vikings - Nate Allen, FS, 6-2, 205, South Florida
96 New Orleans Saints - Dexter McCluster, WR/RB, 5-8, 170, Mississippi
Doesnt make much sense to me tbqh, would like to hear your reasoning behind this

Overall you dont have the saints biggest need(DT) adressed which is a bad thing imo. Im not really liking the value of the picks either, nice effort though

[marshallb]

Horrible Vikings mock. CB isn't much of a need for us in the first place, and we def. don't need 2 in the first 3 rounds. McCoy isn't terrible under normal situations, but it is with Bradford available and numerous other guys like Morgan, who is a top 10 talent imo, Earl Thomas, Hardy, Griffen, Mallett, etc. I'd go with Bradford and Nate Allen in the first 2 rounds. That would be ideal, and the third would depend on who else comes out. DE would be the most likely if Edwards leaves in FA, otherwise, DT, OLB, and even RB are likely.

[Day One Pick]

32 New Orleans Saints - Derrick Morgan, DE/OLB, 6-4, 270, Georgia Tech*

36 Detroit Lions - Arthur Jones, DT/DE, 6-4, 300, Syracuse

The Dexter McCluster pick is to fill the void left by Reggie Bush, if the rumors are true that he's going to be cut. McCluster is a very similar player who could catch the ball out of the backfield. The difference with McCluster is he won't get critisized for not being able to run between the tackles because nobody will expect that from him, atleast not in the same way they did Bush.

[Rosebud]

Why the **** do we draft 2 backup linebackers in the first 3 rounds? Or do you honestly see either guy beating out Boley, Sintim or Goff?

Change it Dan Williams or Vince Oghobaase in round one, Reshad Jones or Nate Allen in round two and say O'Dowd in round 3.

[wonderbredd24]

Give us Trent Williams instead of Sam Bradford and you're doing well

allright than it at least makes sense. Dont expect bush to get cut though, pretty sure he will restucture in the offseason. I dont think there is another team where he can be as valuable of an asset as for new orleans (well a better run blocking RT would help with toss plays and stuff).

[vidae]

Again, Cody there is a massive massive reach. Give us Rolando McClain instead and Gresham is okay I guess but Earl Thomas would be better.

[EvilNixon]

[Don Vito]

22 New England Patriots - C.J. Spiller, RB, 5-11, 190, Clemson
49 New England Patriots (from TEN) - Vince Oghobaase, DT/DE, 6-6, 310, Duke
54 New England Patriots - Charles Brown, OT, 6-6, 300, Southern California
55 New England Patriots (from JAX) - Everson Griffin, DE/OLB, 6-3, 263, Southern California*


Thats a pretty dominant Pats mock, all of our major needs were hit. I hope we don't wait that long to add a pass rusher hoping a talent like Griffin falls, but if that how it works out I won't be complaining. Spiller, Vince O, Griffin, and Brown would be great.

[abaddon41_80]

Sapp = Manny Lawson Lite. Romeus would be a much more logical pick

[RealityCheck]

Sweet Pats mock.

[redbills]

Nice Bills but I'd take Travis Lewis in R3.

[roscoesdad27]

I would honestly love Heyward as a Raven, but I'm not so sure as a 4-3 end. If we were sticking to a 3-4 he would be perfect. We don't need a LE because we just drafted Kruger last year and that looks to be his best position.

1) suggs will be the RE...i think if we go to the 4-3 we'll be set in the front 7, the only true need is at corner imho.

2) golden tate wont have the measuarables to go that high, he's not as fast as guys like ginn jr. or desean jackson....give us benn who will shoot back up draft boards after the combine.

3) d. warren is a solid pick but i would prefer p. cox or b. ghee there, we need a corner to compliment the small guys that we have.

4) heyward is excellent value there but we dont need another left end...i think we look t.e. or o.g. here....I'd go with sergio render o.g. from v.t. .

[HeavyLeggedWaistBender]

Bears pick is a thumbs down. Atleast give us Nate Allen or Major Wright. Maybe Ras-I Dowling. But that 3rd round shakes out poorly for Bears fans.

[Poz51]

7 Buffalo Bills - Gerald McCoy, DT/DE, 6-4, 295, Oklahoma*
39 Buffalo Bills - Ryan Mallett, QB, 6-5, 255, Arkansas#
71 Buffalo Bills - Mike Williams, WR, 6-2, 205, Syracuse


Good Bills mock, doesnt address left tackle, which along with QB might be the biggest need on the team... I think Mallett over throws his recievers alot which will lead to many interceptions in the pro's, but I do like his arm strength, especially in the windy Ralph, and is a good second round value... Cant argue with McCoy's talent and value in the first... Williams is ultra talented for sure, but he certainly has some character and maturity issues, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles himself throughout the draft process, I would agree with Redbills though and take Lewis in the third, although Williams could be an excellent replacement for T.O. opposite Lee Evans , especially if James Hardy doesnt recover well from knee surgery... Interesting mock overall, personally could not believe Derrick Morgan falls that far among other things, but I have yet to be hired as a GM... Although Grant is turning 32? this year and McCray had a good year last year, but not stellar year this year, Morgan would be a great fit for them. So nice job overall.

[FootballGod]

You have to give the Bengals Jermain Gresham or Mike Iupati in the first round if either of those two guys are available. TE is a huge need. Bobbie Williams is on the back 9 of his career so a OG would be nice as well.

We don't need a second rate TE. We just drafted Chase Coffman last year so if we are to draft a TE he must be a stud. Anthony McCoy does not get it done. If we go Mike Iupati in the first round then we would have to pick Arrelious Benn in the second round. Chad Johnson is still a beast but Lavernious Coles as way past his prime. We need a guys that can go up and get it and Benn would do that for us.

Sam Young woul struggle to make it on the practice squad for this team. He cannot be the answer to any of our O-line scenarios. Major Wright would be the pick here. Roy Williams has been hurt the last two years and Ndukwe or Chris Crocker are not the long term answers at safety. Wright would be the right pick.

[thebow305]

Hughes isn't a bad pick in the 1st, but if we were to go OLB in the 1st, I would prefer Derrick Morgan, Sergio Kindle or Everson Griffen. Dan Williams also wouldn't be a bad pick, since Cody is gone, and if Jason Ferguson retires, NT is a HUGE need for us.

The 2nd round is PERFECT! Thomas would be an amazing value at that spot and I'm a HUGE fan!

Hudson doesn't make any sense in the 3rd. We have one of the youngest, best lines in the league right now and the offensive line is not a need at all. Major Wright would be a great pick there instead, since FS Gibril Wilson has been a big disappointment and FA bust for us this season and we could use an upgrade at that position.

[Hermstheman83]

If you didn't have us taking Cody in the first(a very big and massive reach). We could use a safety where you have us taking a TE(not a big need IMO). If you put McClain instead of Cody, I'd be pretty stoked about that draft.

[Babylon]

Seattle

Gilyard, Pike and Best are all second rounders to me so i guess one of the picks is ok.

In this scenario give me:

CJ Spiller
Sam Bradford
Jason Fox

[Rebelutionary]

BRO you had me @ Dan Williams & Arrelious Benn to the Bolts but then you gave us a 3-4 LB/DE??? We just drafted English, we signed Tucker to a huge deal, and we will most likely resign Merriman if there is no cap. We also are high on Applewhite so that is a def. no. Why didn't you address a 3-4 DE or a OT?


So close, but no cigar mi amigo.

Is Brian Kelly gonna come over and coach too? Bounce on ND before a bowl game? Leave Manti Te'o shouting, "Ya'll don't worry, we got us!"

[Pat Sims 90]

Horriable Bengals Draft

1.Gresham
2.Cox
3.Wright

Took a player last year that has same skill set as Dunlap in Michael Johnson and he has played well.

McCoy is a pass catcher not a blocker we alread took a TE last year that is a pass catcher not a blocker in Coffman we need a good all around TE

Young is a RT not a LT we already have 3 young RT on roster in Andre Smith Anthony Collins and Dennis Roland. Need a Backup LT not a RT

[phlysac]

Sapp = Manny Lawson Lite. Romeus would be a much more logical pick

^This times INFINITY

Rolando McClain + Anthony Davis + Greg Romeus + Reshad Jones = Sex

[Chucky]

Unreal Bucs mock....I would be ecstatic if this happened

[Unbiased]

What are the Jags going to do with Ras-I Dowling?

We have needs where rookies would start right away at guard and defensive end.

We don't need a guy who would have to fight for a roster spot in the 3rd round.

[indyfan1985]

I cant really complain with the Colts draft. I love the 1st round pick of OG Mike Iupati. He would give us a dominant force on the OL and would instantly make our run game better.

For the 2nd rounder I like the pick as well but I think DL is a bigger need here.

I also love the 3rd round pick of OT Ciron Black.

[Sniper]

Stop. *******. Giving. Philly. *******. Weak-side. Linebackers.

Will Witherspoon, Omar Gaither and Akeem Jordan can all competently play WLB. Address actual ******* needs with your picks.

Picking a WLB over Brandon Graham or Derrick Morgan would be ******* moronic.

Other picks are good.

[Brown Leader]

Must have Locker-I would not pass on QB Locker for S Berry.

Bradford is too similar to Quinn as a prospect so I'd pass but that is an interesting pick.

Gerhart would be great but in the 3rd is wishful thinking.

Your current version is missing Browns 2nd pk in the 3rd. As it was, JPP would be nice pick in the 3rd.

[FordFairlane]

13 Pittsburgh Steelers - Joe Haden, CB, 5-11, 185, Florida*
14 45 Pittsburgh Steelers - Jason Fox, OT, 6-7, 305, Miami

Best Steelers mock I have seen so far. Got us a CB, LT, and FS all on day one. Great job.

[Abaddon]

8 Oakland Raiders - Taylor Mays, FS, 6-3, 230, Southern California

Makes no sense.

40 Oakland Raiders - Sergio Kindle, OLB/DE, 6-4, 255 Texas
72 Oakland Raiders - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE/OLB, 6-6, 265, South Florida*

Why would they draft two of the same type of player here? If Oakland was a 3-4 defense, I could see the reasoning. But...they're not.

86 Oakland Raiders (from NE) - Tyson Alualu, DT, 6-2, 295, California

Doable.

[DiG]

two rounds and no oline for the skins = fail. i know you tried with the 3rd rounder but skins done even have a third rounder. drafting a first round qb sets this team back farther than it needs. i wouldnt be opposed to dwyer if we drafted oline in the first round but we cant afford to pass on oline in both the first and second round.

[summond822]

9 Seattle Seahawks - Mardy Gilyard, WR, 6-1, 185, Cincinnati
As much as I respect Mardy Gilyard, I don't see him being a top 10 pick, maybe a late first rounder at best. If it's going to be a WR the only top 10 pick is Dez Bryant. Plus, we need either a) a LT to protect our QB, or b) a franchise QB. So it's going to be one of those two. Likely it will be Bradford with how you have your board shaking out.

21 Seattle Seahawks (from DEN) - Tony Pike, QB, 6-6, 215, Cincinnati
C.J. Spiller is still on the board, there is no excuse not to take him. I think this is way too early for Pike as well. Bradford is on the board as well, and I can't see him falling all the way through the first round.

41 Seattle Seahawks - Jahvid Best, RB, 5-10, 195, California*
I like this pick, but with Romeus on the board, I find it hard to pass on him. I think Romeus is a mid-late first round talent, so if he's there when the Seahawks are drafting they almost have to take him. Kerney has lost a step, and while Jackson & Tapp are decent pass rushers, I still don't have enough faith in them to let them be every-down defensive ends so some depth there would be nice.

I think I'm a lot higher on Gilyard and Pike than most. Generally I don't let my personal feelings dicatate my selections on a mock, I do what I expect to happen. In this case it's a little of both. I expect both Gilyard and Pike to get a lot more love once the draft season really gets underway. I'm anxious to here what the "path to the draft" crew has to say about them.

I think both players are way ahead of the curve as prospects and should make a nice, resonably quick transition to the NFL. With Pike I feel he needs the least work with his mechanics than any of the other QB prospects and his arm is right there with the rest of them. Gilyard is just a crisp route runner, he catches the ball excellent and is just overall a playmaker.

[terribletowel39]

I would want to switch the positions of Round 2 & 3. Take Chad Jones in the 2nd and Ciron Black in the 3rd. I feel like Black could be a really good guard for us. And Chad Jones is just a bigger and rangier Ryan Clark, whom I love. Finding an LSU FS to replace an LSU FS.

I have to think Jason Fox is a much better value than Chad Jones. That's what the Steelers will be looking for, value and not a predetermined position.

I've really soured on Black as a prospect. Nate Allen might be a better fit to replace Clark than Jones would anyways. Maybe the Steelers could start getting turnovers with a ball-hawking mentality instead of just trying to blow up receivers.

I'd still rather the combo of Jones and Black.

Firstly, Jones >>>> Allen. He is bigger, faster, stronger, slightly less of a ballhawk. Jones has one less INT this year than Allen. But like 40 more yards.

Secondly, Fox would just be a back-up. Both of the Steelers tackles are good. Colon and Starks are actually really good tackles. The RG spot is the only spot on the line I would want to change. I think Black could play well there as he doesn't have quick feet and is more powerful than nimble. Yes, a bit big for the position, but it is just the way I feel.

But, you could be right. Just throwing out more ideas.

What about Craig Urbik?

Starks is serviceable, but not great. He has a knack for screwing up at the worst times. He has given up 6 sacks so far this season and has 5 penalties against him. The Steelers also have next to no depth at the tackle position. Fox would be a backup next season, but could work into a starting role by year 2 or 3. That's the typical road of a Steelers draft pick.

I would definitely cream myself and use it for hair gel if our draft turned out like this

He got beat out by UDFA rookie Ramon Foster. Unless him improves significantly, I think we can call him another miss.

I like the idea of Fox but (this is a little bias in me) I have been watching Chad Jones all season and the 2 before this one, he is a difference maker and a special player, just like his secondary teammate Patrick Peterson although Peterson is on a-whole-nother level.. Born and raised in Louisiana, so take it for what it is.

I didn't like Urbik as a prospect, and wasn't happy with the pick (I'm a Steelers fan too). But did injury or any other thing happen to cause Foster to jump him on the depth chart?

Nope, he just got outplayed, from what I remember. Urbik got tossed around by everyone on the team, even DEs that didn't make the team. I'm pretty sure the only reason he wasn't released was because he was a 3rd round pick and the FO and coaches want to see if he can develop into something they thought they saw in him.

One thing about the draft in general, Mardy Gilyard is not a top 10 pick. And there is no chance the Vikings take Colt McCoy over Mallet and Bradford. Mallet is going to shoot up draft boards and Bradford has no chance of falling past the Vikings.
