eh not sold on the Skins taking a rb that high. its not shanahans typical style and we simply have too many needs with too few picks to take a rb high, especially after taking a wr in the 1st round, unless we trade down to acquire more picks.

[akvikefan89]

Probably realistic Vikings picks.

[rawdawg]

I'd absolutely love Carimi, Austin, and Little! But I don't know that the Bears take 2 problem children back-to-back.

[T-RICH49]

that Chiefs draft is to quote Charlie Sheen...WINNING

[diabsoule]

Cum everywhere because of the Saints mock, however, Greg Jones does not please me as much as I like. I'd take Will Rackley or Dontay Moch to replace him.

[Matthew Jones]

Very nice Patriots mock although I doubt they draft Baldwin with all of his character issues. I would maybe go with someone like Jordan Todman at #60 and then Ahmad Black at #74. The Patriots seem like a pretty good bet to be interested in those two.

[Hines]

I like Curtis Brown more than Aaron Williams. So I'd take Ijalana in the first and Brown in the second. But I could see what you have happening, though.

[thebow305]

That's a pretty sexy Phins draft IMO. Probably rather have Mallett slightly more in the first, but adding another sweet pass rusher like Houston and a talented back like R-Dub in the third would be kinda dreamy.

[NHesterly]

I don't see the Packers going after a CB in the 2nd round... Tramon Williams is a top-tier CB and fairly young.. Sam Shields is a up and comer and Charles Woodson isn't going anywhere..

I could see them using late round picks on one or even going towards a UDFA (considering they're easily the best at evaluating undrafted CB talent Shields, Williams both UDFA)

[BaLLiN]

dont like any of the giants picks, we get three players that offer us nothing more than we already have. David Diehl is a good starter, thats all Castanzo would be whereas Tyron and Sherrod are more fit for LT and managing speed rushers without losing push in the run game, Carimi could possibly play LT but he is most likely going to be a great RT. Solder has the body, but he doesn't seem to have the power.

Rudolph is an average blocker, so is Boss but both of them are terrific receiving threats. Id still take Boss, he is longer and although he takes bad hits he gets really good YAC

[bored of education]

Nice picks for KC sir. You address some immediate needs with guys who are short term and long term answers. Hudson would be moved to C I presume with Asomoah as the soon to be replacement for Waters, who I feel has one more decent year left.

[Brent]

don't like the idea of the Niners not taking a QB early, but if Harbaugh doesn't want 'em, fine with me.

[J-Mike88]

Exactly, whereas their actual draft picks at CB have been crap:
-Pat Lee
-Brandon Underwood
-A few others long gone

Scooping up Tramon and Sam Shields made up for it though.

[Seasonticketholder]

The Stephen Paea pick for the Saints sucks! I would much prefer Cameron Heyward. Paea for the Saints sucks big time! Ugh!

We don't need an ILB. We have a probowler in Jonathan Vilma. In fact, I would redo all the picks.

Cameron Heyward, Kenrick Ellis, Quinton Carter and Dontay Moch. Not great, but much better than any Saints draft that includes Paea in the first round and Greg Jones as a pick. Mason Foster and Kelvin Sheppard would not be bad picks.

Interesting. One Saints fan is cumming all over the screen and you say that it sucks. I've seen Paea mocked to the Saints more than once so why is he such a bad pick for you guys?

Good insight. What would you be looking for in the 2nd round then? I never really thought of Shanahan as being one to not take RBs, I look back on the likes of Clinton Portis and Tatum Bell and see him being willing to look in that direction, especially given Torain's injury history. He also doesn't seem to be too sold on Williams.

[49erNation85]

I love the Sf picks,however, I think Acho in round two is a little high.Why not take a Qb there instead.And WR we can draft later and go OLB or QB there too.Nice job otherwise tho.

[prock]

I dig this for the Vikings.

[NHesterly]

I would keep an eye out for Jalil Brown or Korey Lindsey-Woods.... both will probably be late round picks the Packers will show interest in...

All I know is sooner or later we'll need to replace Lee, he's got zero potential unlike the very SMALL potential Underwood still has.

[jCut]

Very nice Denver mock. Liuget and Dareus would be an exciting tandem for years to come.

[Pat Sims 90]

Green is fine in the 1st
Clayborn is possible pick but i see OL or QB in the 2nd
If the Bengals dont take a QB in the 2nd they will in the 3rd to bring someone in to compete for the starting Job.

[wicket]

Interesting. One Saints fan is cumming all over the screen and you say that it sucks. I've seen Paea mocked to the Saints more than once so why is he such a bad pick for you guys?

Lets make it three, Paea is not a great pick imo and not a bad pick either but Id much prefer Heyward at that spot, not because the value differs that much but because there arent really that many ends to be gotten later on whilst there are plenty of DTs. Also I am all for drafting 2 linebackers early but 3 is pushing it.

Id say pick heyward first and change one of the linebackers to a DT.

@Seasonticketholder, Sheppard projects as a SLB in our scheme, not a mlb

[Poz51]

3. Buffalo Bills – Cam Newton, QB, Auburn

34. Buffalo Bills - Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
46. Denver Broncos - Martez Wilson, ILB, Illinois
52. New York Giants - Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame
54. Philadelphia Eagles - Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado

68. Buffalo - Jarvis Jenkins, DT, Clemson
71. Dallas - James Carpenter, OT, Alabama
88. New Orleans - Kelvin Sheppard, ILB, LSU
91. Atlanta - Luke Stocker, TE, Tennessee
92. New England - Chris Carter, DE/OLB, Fresno State


Newton in the first is realistic and IMO a good pick.
Solder in the second is a good value, I personally do not like him, or his fit in Buffalo, particularly his ability in the run game. Wilson fits what they want in a ILB, Rudolph would fill the gigantic hole at TE, and Smith would have good value.
I like Jenkins in the third round as a value, I am not sold on his ability to shed blocks or his endurance to be anything more that a 2 down player. I also see him as more of a 4-3 DT, than a 3-4 anything, but if I were to take a risk on him the third is not a bad place to grab him. Sheppard fits what they want in a ILB, which they have stated they need to improve on. Carpenter, Stocker and Carter all fit depending on the first and second picks, I like Carter alot.
As it is, a good mock for Buffalo.

7. San Francisco 49ers – Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
45. San Francisco 49ers - Sam Acho, DE/OLB, Texas
76. San Francisco - Jerrel Jernigan, WR, Troy


Delaying judgment...

How might you predict (if this mock were to be accurate) the 49ers to address their need at QB?

[vidae]

Great KC draft, if Hudson plays C.

[4U2NV]

Delaying judgment...

How might you predict (if this mock were to be accurate) the 49ers to address their need at QB?

I personally believe that they will get a veteran once free agency starts as a stop-gap solution while also bringing back Alex Smith. I know it's not an ideal situation for a first year head coach, but I didn't like the value for San Francisco at the QB position considering the other players that were around at those selections. I'm not totally sold on this class so even if I was a team that needed one, I wouldn't reach to take one when there were better players to be had elsewhere. Next year's QB class looks a lot stronger when you can address the need then. I think there's enough QBs to be had via trade or free agency that can at least stop the bleeding for a year.

[Crazy_Chris]

Very well done for the Vikings... Only thing i can say is that I think they would be very tempted to pull the trigger on Jimmy Smith if he makes it to #43.

[StrikeAnywhere]

Good job buddy, I like the Denver draft top to bottom.

[colts_fan8818]

Thats a pretty good Colts draft, I'm 100% sold on Smith and I don't think he will be there when the Colts pick but not a bad pick otherwise. I like the Nevis pick in the 2nd, and while I don't know much about Sash that pick fills a position of need. I would be happy if the draft turned out like this.

[4U2NV]

Thank you for the input, up until now I don't recall hearing from any Colts fans regarding my mocks so it's always good to get the input from a fan of a different team.

This will probably be the last mock that I post until I get my final one done in time for the real thing.

[Abaddon]

Seems awfully high for Kirkpatrick.

[4U2NV]

So, would Saints fans prefer Wilkerson or Heyward in Round 1?

Also, Pats fans, Titus Young or Tandon Doss in Round 3?

Would Bears fans have any problems with Danny Watkins in Round 2?

[Nalej]

Give the Pats another OL at the end of the third and this would be the best Pats mock I've seen

[txparkes49x]

Peterson, Acho and CK would be perfect. but either way first two rounds is ace.

[derza222]

I would say that Calvin Pace is a capable starter at OLB, he's just better suited to play a role where he's not the team's primary pass rusher. No need for the Jets to draft two, but one is definitely a big need and I'd be very happy with either Reed or Moch where you had them picked.
