etk's 1st Mock on NFLDC

[etk]

Rules

1. Don't mock my mock. If you have any comments/concerns with any of the picks feel free to post constructive criticism. For those of you who need simple english, don't just say "bad pick, we don't need him". That will get you nowhere here. Conversely, a good convincing argument could lead to a change in picks and positive rep.

2. Don't comment on your team's standings. I predicted the records myself and it took longer than expected. It's all opinion but I'm more of a draft expert than an NFL prognosticator so criticizing your team's standing just makes you look like a fool.

3. Don't argue with me about which underclassmen are and aren't in my mock.
I know so-and-so is a beast and yada-yada, I don't know any of the prospects personally so I can't tell you if they declare or not. I put in the ones that I needed :)

4. Enjoy! Feel free to ask me to explain any of the picks or anything else for that matter.

4 USC prospects go in the first round, but the scary thing is how several more could realistically make it too. I left a lot of great prospects out of this mock so it looks like it's gonna be a strong draft. I'm excited!

excellent pack pick

excellent pack pick

Awesome. I really liked the pick because he's such a great tackler and so physical in man coverage. He would benefit from developing under Al Harris. I know some people will question the pick because there are other Seniors and even underclassmen ranked ahead of him right now, but he's the best fit for GB and he's underrated for sure.

He would also be rejoined w/ former VTech S Aaron Rouse, another plus for chemistry. I still like Cason better, but i'd be happy Flowers

Cason was my original pick but I changed it :P

I'm not a fan of going WR for the Ravens, but if you had too, a big physical receiver would be a better choice cause the Ravens already have 3 guys with pretty good speed and they don't throw downfield much so a reliable big target would be better.

I like the PSU reunion there with Conner... i think its to early to take any of the corner backs... i could see jenkins go to us though simply becasue we seem to love OSU corners... a recevier is anotehr possibitly ever offensive or defensvie line... good pick though

I see Doucet as the complete package, not just a deep threat. You have your big receiver already in Clarence Moore ;). If WR isn't what you're looking for then what other positions fit the Ravens?

[BuckNaked]

I'd prefer Andre Woodson to Brohm.

I see your sig. We'll have to wait for the combine to see who's better.

Can you say anything normally?

[PalmerToCJ]

I freely admit I don't know much about the players right now but DE is definetely a possibility for the Bengals so I'm not complaining.

[Vikes99ej]

Solid Vikings pick.

9. Atlanta: Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii


Horrible pick. here's why:
Brennan isn't a top 32 pick let alone a top 10. His talent level isn't that high and hs age will hurt his pro stock (He's 25.). Also, if Woodson and Brohm are gone we will likely go with our 2nd biggest need: LT. Barry Richardson is the BPA here for us and would be our pick as our new franchise LT to make our left side a good young power combo of Blalock and Richardson.
