Mock Draft No. 4

***BelichickFan*** · 04-04-2006, 11:40 AM

The question is, how does this get past the editors :

6 TE Vernon Davis Maryland Jr. 6-3 250
We can't think of a better way to aid in the development of second-year franchise quarterback Alex Smith than a cornerstone left tackle to protect his backside for the foreseeable future.

You think someone has been chewed out by now

Almost as curious is the Browns picking Ernie Sims to play OLB because "he's exactly the play-making presence the Browns are looking for in their 3-4 defense." A 6'0" 220 speedster is the perfect 3-4 OLB?

Anyone notice that Manny Lawson was not listed in the 1st round of that draft?

Lawson seems all over the place. He could go as high as #12 to Cleveland or quite a way down. If he got to #21, I'm really not sure how we could pass on him.

IF the QBs start to slide, then other position players must be moving up, which could cause a couple of mini-runs on certain positions. If DE/OLB is involved in one of those mini-runs, Lawson could go before our pick. It's very hard to imagine certain teams in need passing on a QB early.
