[causticon]

I like the Minter pick for the donkeys.

[Pat Sims 90]

I not a fan of Brown at best I still think he is 2nd Rounder. Would rather see Lacy, Minter, Montgomery, Ansah or Okafor.

[wicket]

quality saints pick

[coordinator0]

That's a bad pick for Baltimore with Ansah, Jordan, and Montgomery on the board. Te'o too. Unless both Boldin and Jones are cut I can't see them going with a WR in the first round when the defense has some big needs.

[T-RICH49]

WOW horrible KC pick

[vidae]

Matt Barkley? wat? Did you do this mock in August? :)

[gpngc]

My point here is that he's got as good a chance as any of these QBs to earn the first pick/trade-down target of KC (assuming KC is really targeting a QB, which given their other needs they may actually do regardless of the weak class).

If you actually think that "their other needs" are on the same level as their need at quarterback, you really don't understand the Chiefs' needs.

At this point, I don't think it will be Barkley but it WILL be a QB.

[Nastradamus]

I dig the Vaccaro pick. Not sure I could pull the trigger, but I"m in love with him as a prospect and I like the creativity.

[RCAChainGang]

Really don't like Hunt there. I don't think he is a first round talent. I would much rather have Ansah.

[Seasonticketholder]

Very solid pick for the Saints!

[thebow305]

Mingo or Patterson over Ogletree please!

What? Read. That's exactly what I said lol.

[BallerT1215]

Love that Bills Pick!

[holt_bruce81]

Not sure I understand Lacy at 22.

[Abaddon]

03. Oakland Raiders: Shariff Floyd

I don't even...

[killxswitch]

Weird mock.

Agree, Hunt would be a terrible idea. Especially when Ansah, Jordan, and Montgomery are available.

The non-weird February mock is annually miles away from accurate.

This one may be too, but the surprises have a chance I believe. I really don't want to have to get into all the things that February mock drafters were ridiculed for in year's past (Alualu in the 1st, Cam going No. 1, Bowers in the 2nd, etc. etc. etc.).

Floyd's way undervalued and will climb (think Tyson Jackson climb).

Margus Hunt's size is just undeniable. If Poe can go 12, and teams are willing to take Ansah, Hunt will also be a high pick. The Colts need talent on defense, not necessarily a specific position (their mindset with Hunt is that they feel he can be J.J. Watt - who if you remember - was a pick that did not fill a huge need for Houston because they had decent 5-techs at the time).

Lacy is a bruising RB that can give the Rams offense a badly needed identity. He's definitely a Jeff Fisher type of player and I expect SJax to walk. Richardson's a nice player but Fisher wants to run the ball with physicality like he did during his time with Tennessee. He's always had a physical back and loves drafting them, even when he had CJ2K (LenWhale). I feel strongly about that fit and pick (especially since they have two in the first).

[Jensen]

why would arizona take fisher over joeckel?

[Abaddon]

Floyd's way undervalued and will climb (think Tyson Jackson climb).

And we see how that turned out.

[gpngc]

Why would Washington take Trent Williams over Okung?

Fisher might be a better pass blocker right now. That might be something Arians would find valuable. Fisher looks like plug-n-play solid protector from day one on the left side. That's exactly what the Cards need.

This is a mock draft. I'm trying to predict what's going to happen, not copy and paste all the other Feb. mocks that are annually way, way, way off.

Floyd's a terrific prospect. It's entirely possible teams value him over Star.

[SickwithIt1010]

This is all over the place.
