The "what I think will happen" mock draft
 

1A. Dre Kirkpatrick CB Alabama
1B. Cordy Glenn OG Georgia
2. A.J. Jenkins WR Illinois
3. Isaiah Pead RB Cincinnati
4. Travis Lewis LB Oklahoma
5A. Tommy Streeter WR Miami (FL)
5B. Kheeston Randall DT Texas
5C. Matt Reynolds OT BYU
6. Kevin Koger TE Michigan

You have 6 picks on offense and 3 on defense. I have a feeling this is going to be a defense heavy draft since the last couple have been offensive heavy.

For fun to keep at a 50/50 Off/Def split with our 1st 8 picks:

I think BA combo of OG, CB, WR in our 1st 3 picks

Then we can focus on the BA combo selection of S, RB, LB, DT thereafter

Although doubtful, would anyone be interested in Harrison Smith in Rd. 2 if he falls that far?

No, I think there is more value in M. Martin and Brandon Taylor in the third round.

I hope we take a WR no earlier than the 3rd. The prospect I love the most for our team is Ryan Broyles. He would compliment AJ so well. He doesn't have elite speed but his route running is superb. The ACL injury doesn't bother me one bit, everyone comes back just as good now a days. He just knows how to find the open spot in zone coverage or create good separation in man. Scott has him going in the 3rd. I hope we could get him in the 4th. The only first round prospect I don't want is Courtney Upshaw. His game works in college but when you don't have a great repertoire or great explosiveness your doomed to fail in the NFL.

gotta say i hate Scotts mock for us. . .based on what he thinks will happen i'd much rather have it go something like:

1a.Decastro
1b.C. Glenn - because **** it, our OL pisses me off. honestly i'm not too mad about Upshaw getting picked because he seemed to do pretty damn well in the SEC, but all the hate he's gotten on this board makes me nervous about him.

2. Janoris Jenkins (i know a lot of ppl hate the guy, but i think he's gonna be a baller)

3. Turbin

One thing I have always hated on these forums is when people mock a player to the Bengals when Scott does. No one had Upshaw going to the Bengals until Scott had him going to the Bengals. I honestly don't see how Courtney Upshaw fits the Bengals at all.

I hope we don't go Upshaw. With that said, he did visit the Bengals so there may be some interest with him. I'm sticking with my picks.

DeCastro if he's there, big need and probably would be the best player on the board there.

Marvin loves early round CB's (see JJ/Hall), expecting that as well.

Very pumped, it's that time. Honestly look forward to today more than the first preseason or regular season game.
