It has been a while since I have made one of these baddies, but I have been thinking about it lately, and I think that, Jamaal Anderson has a very good chance of falling to us at pick #15. If not, then we should go Darrell Revis...
Anyways,I decided to do one assuming Anderson is picked before 15.
A little trade I was thinking of... I heard the Bengals were seriously interested in Jon Beason, as were the Gaints... So here it is... we swap firsts with the Giants, and we get their 3rd (sounds almost familiar). The Bengals have been rumored to also be looking at Revis, but I have a feeling that Hall, Nelson and Revis will fall past 15, and Cinci ends up picking Hall / Nelson.
Rd. 1, #20 Darrell Revis CB, Pitt. - I am not a huge fan of taking a corner in the first round, but the position does need to be upgraded, and Revis is the best value here for corners. The guy is one the tallest out of the first round corners, and between him and Ross it is a toss up between, in my opinion, the best corner in the the draft. He is younger than Ross, and has more playing time experience, Ultimately I think Revis becomes the best corner out of the group.
Rd. 2, # 46 Brian Leonard RB Rutgers - I was going back and forth between him, David Harris, and Anthony Gonzalez/ Craig Davis. But it really just came down to the fact that Leonard gives us a lot of versatility on offense, not to mention he is a real upstanding guy. He allows us to cut Kreider, (next year most likely), and is an excellent fit into our offense which has adapted to more of a spread.
Rd. 3 # 77 Tim Shaw LB PSU- Really like the guy, and this seems like a good time to select him as others will most likely jump at him around this point (Cinci, Jets, Saints off the top of my head). The guy is full of athletic ability, is a natural pass rusher, and is just a stand up person.
Rd 3 # 81 Jacoby Jones WR Lane - Good size, good hands, decent speed, could be a good replacement for Ward in a couple years, but now can challenge Washington and Wilson for the # 3 and 4 spot.
Rd 4 # 119 Zak Deossie LB Brown - Great size for a LB, incredibly smart, can fit into either a 3 - 4 or a 4-3 scheme. Will have to sit a year or two behind Farrior, which is perfect as he can get caught up to game speed.
Rd 4 #132 Ryan McBean DT Oak. St. - Good athlete for his size, is not very big right now, but definetly has the frame to get larger, can play DT in the 4 -3 or DE in the 3 - 4.
Rd 5 # 156 Andy Alleman OG Akron - Raw but has a lot of upside, we have a few guys in front of him on the depth chart, but can potentially develop into a solid starter a few years down the line.
Rd 5 # 170 Dallas Sartz OLB USC - Tall, kind of a wiry guy who plays every play at 100%. Can be a great special teamer, and after a couple years of bulking up could potentially be a solid starter / backup.
Rd 6 # 192 Adam Podlesh P UMD - I was heartbroken when i saw the Steelers brought in Sped., but I am still hoping the Steelers grab him.
Rd 7 # 227 Jonny Harline TE BYU - Isn't very fast, strong, quick, or big, BUT, he has a great football IQ and has great hands. He knows how to get separation despite his physical limitations.
This Draft isn't dependent on the trade, without it we lose probably Shaw... though I would rather not draft Dallas and just bump everyone up until then a slot down, and hope they are still there.
