Like my 1st round mock 1.0 (http://draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2025038&#post2025038) and 2.0 (http://draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2057289&#post2057289) the style is the same and IMO is very easy to watch it :D

[scar988]

For Atlanta:
1) DE Brandon Graham - good pick
3) WR Eric Decker - taking Decker over Watson? can't see it when we sorely need an OLB.
3c) CB Al Verner - bad pick. CB is not a need. We take WR Andre Roberts here.
4) C Eric Olsen - good pick.

[Matthew Jones]

Love all of New England's picks aside from Tebow. That's not too unrealistic of a pick though. If I had my way they'd probably be taking a wide receiver with that pick, like Gilyard.

[Grizzlegom]

I'd love that Phins draft but I know the picks in the first and third wouldn't happen that way based on Parcells' history.

[wicket]

I love the bowman pick and im okay with all the other saints picks, good job

[DiG]

makes sense for the skins. if bradfords there i think hell be the pick and wed be lucky to have charles brown slip to us in the 2nd. i dont dislike the micah pick but id prefer carrington or worilds.

Like the Ravens trade-back, but Nate Allen in the second is really a stretch. Landry will most likely be coming back and Zbikowski performed very well in Reed's absence last season. We also have depth guys at the position so this pick would only be if Reed surely isn't coming back and we don't want to keep playing Zbi at FS full-time. The value is right, just not sure if Allen is the BPA at a position of need.

[Trogdor]

For Dallas:

27) Cody - Awful pick. Dallas doesn't not play a conventional 3-4 where the nose just occupies 2 blocks. Terrible fit.

- Preferred pick: Even though you have him slipping majorly I think Nate Allen will be the pick here if Campbell or Iupati isn't here.

59) Norwood - Good value but not an early round need. That being said I wouldn't be totally surprised to take him as he is seen by some as the 3rd best pass rusher in the draft even though I would much prefer to see...

- Preferred pick: Jared Veldheer, raw but great potential and if unsuccessful in transitioning to LT could easily play on the right side.

90) Jones - If we missed out on Nate Allen he would be an excellent consolation prize. Good value. And with some coaching could become a special player.

125) Capers - Not adverse to this pick but I can't imagine passing on a slot WR and return guy in Jordan Shipley.

- Preferred pick: Jordan Shipley, incredible value here and provides an instant upgrade in the return game and potentially replacing Crayton in the slot.


Overall very nice looking draft. And aside from the Cody pick it would be hard to hate it =)

I'd love that Phins draft but I know the picks in the first and third wouldn't happen that way based on Parcells' history.

I wouldn't be so sure, based on the Vontae Davis pick. He didn't typically take CB's in the 1st, but simply couldn't pass on him at that point in Round 1 last year. This could apply for Dez this year.

And BTW, I would love that draft as well! Nice work here. +Rep.

[Bengals78]

The fourth round saved you on this one.

[Hines]

I like this draft for Pittsburgh.

[prock]

I really like the trade for the Vikes, but Gerhart in the 3rd? That is a **** pick. Why would we take a goal line banger when we have AP? Give us a RB like Hardesty.

[Unbiased]

I'll buy Morgan and Stuckey for Jacksonville. But McCluster makes no sense to me.

[vidae]

I mean meh, that's a pretty good KC draft I suppose. I don't see the Vikings moving up to 5 but I would love a trade back scenario.

[Splat]

I actually would not mind that trade that said never going to happen.

[BJJ3rd]

I don't like Odrick to the steelers at 18.

Try Iupati there instead...or better yet...SPILLER!!! :D

[RufusMcDaniel]

Kyle Wilson, Greg Hardy, Matt Tennant, AJ Edds....good job...+rep.

[Pat Sims 90]

Mays in the 1st just ruins this draft

[BaLLiN]

1. Price- REACH and is a UT, doesnt work for me
2. Lee- REACH injury concern doesnt fit system
3. Fox-alright
4. Warren-average

[T-RICH49]

please NO TE IN THE DRAFT FOR KC!!!!!!!!!Saffold > Gronkowski

[mario]

Thanks for the comments!! I appreciate it too much ;)

The fourth round saved you on this one.
wow, don't you like the Gilyard pick? neither Dekoda or Woods?

I really like the trade for the Vikes, but Gerhart in the 3rd? That is a **** pick. Why would we take a goal line banger when we have AP? Give us a RB like Hardesty.
Hardesty isn't avalaible and after Ben Tate i've ranked Gerhart, McKnight and Dwyer. I don't think you like Dwyer more and i don't think McKnight could develop into a #2 RB (he is more like a Leon Washinton type of player). Just my two cents...

I'll buy Morgan and Stuckey for Jacksonville. But McCluster makes no sense to me.
Great point, i just think you need a playmaker in that offense, he will help MJD and the starting QB stretching the field.

Mays in the 1st just ruins this draft
Funny, it seems tha now anyone want to draft Mays. I think some of you are undervaluating his coverage skills. IMO he has a GREAT range.

1. Price- REACH and is a UT, doesnt work for me
2. Lee- REACH injury concern doesnt fit system

I repeat it: I'm very high on Price and Lee. We can discuss the positional needs but not my personal position ranking, because that is, personal ranking and i think Price is the 3rd best DT and Sean Lee is the best 4-3 LB in the 2nd round.

please NO TE IN THE DRAFT FOR KC!!!!!!!!!Saffold > Gronkowski
Saffold is projected to play OG in the NFL and you've already draft that position with the best overall interior lineman: Pouncey.


Regards!!

[RaiderNation]

Give us a DT like Alualu in the 3rd and Id love it

[V.I.P]

change Franks to Patrick Robinson , but overall pretty good Bucs draft !!!

[cotts1]

Lions would not trade up for Dan Williams. He's merely a big run stuffer, you can find those kinds of guys later. Lions would much rather have Devin McCourty than Dan Williams. If the Lions did trade up, it would no doubt be for a RB or CB.

[Bengals78]

wow, don't you like the Gilyard pick? neither Dekoda or Woods?

Gilyard is very ok but with the Bryant signing im not expecting an early WR.

Dekoda is undersized and IDK how that will hold up in the AFC North at SLB.

Woods should be replaced by fellow Bayou Bengal Ciron Black

[jCut]

Very nice Denver draft.

[Calvin & Kevin]

My first reaction is to say that Schwartz likes big DT's, though. I think Williams actually might fit the Lions' plans better than Suh or McCoy.

But then I notice in this draft CJ Spiller going 28th (which will not ever happen) and yeah if the Lions were to move up into the 20's and Spiller were there, it would be Spiller in a landslide.

[The OUTLAW]

That was pretty terrible for the Browns. The only good pick was the first one and it was the wrong one considering Berry was still on the board. The others pretty much border on the ridiculous.

[Hermstheman83]

What I love about this mock: First off, your format, it's really cool(didn't work in my google chrome though). I also love the fact that we traded down. Minnesota would be dominant for years if they could get a guy like clausen. You got alot of our main needs targeted: ILB, a pass rusher opposite Hali, a Nose tackle and interoir Line help. They are also pretty realistic picks for KC as well. Troup: Romeo loved that guy at the senior bowl. Butler: Big guy built to play inside backer. Pouncey is versatile and smart(Pioli might pick Vladamir Duc. though, being from the great NorthEast.) And, Javier Arenas. The guy can at least be a good returner. I would have preferred a wide reciever, but if he contributes at least as a decent return man that is definately worth the pick.
What I didn't like: We aren't going to take a tight end that high. Especially when the safeties in our secondary consist of Mike Brown. We could have Ed Reed back there playing with Brown and Brown would still be horrible. Safety is definately a needed area. Plus, we have multiple Tight ends that are decent catchers, but good blockers(Cottam is actually the only good blocker). I noticed we could have taken Chad Jones, yea it probably would have been a reach but he's probably the best Strong Safety in the draft, which is where we have Brown.

Yeah kid, Berry was still on the board

blindness or something??!!

And yes, considering Holmgrem has said he'd draft a speedy receiver the connection between Price and the Browns is terrible, also Delhomme is your long term QB, and you have one of the most dominant front seven in the league.

Great point, but as you'd understand not being a KC homer and not hearing flashy news about your TE's since Tony Gonzalez it took (wrongly) the view to me that you could need a Top TE. I'll take a view next time ;)

This mock gave me a boner.
