You sure about that?

Are we supposed to pick one guy, or is this some kind of actual joke of a mock draft that gives us every single player that we want?

I'm taking into consideration that the top 4 players will all be gone by #35 or so, with two of the top three gone by #20.

I'd take that mock and run.

Oh thats what I'm talking about. We take that all day and are on a high for the rest of the offseason

The only difference I would make would be swap out Kendall Reyes for Nick Perry who the have at #38. We'd have a front 7 3-4 of Wilfork-Poe-Thompson-Perry-Spikes-Mayo-McClellin. Granted they may not all start as rookies, but you get the idea.

1) Awful mock.

2) You really ought to provide the link. Except, it doesn't even match what you posted: NFL Draft Mock 2012 | NFL Draft Mock Draft

Dontari Poe is lazy as **** on the field. No f ing thanks

Wow. If we landed half that draft class we'd have to be thrilled. Poe and Thompson. Reyes, Jenkins, McClellan and Randall? I would never draft Jenkins, myself, and Poe would be a tough one for me to pull the trigger on. But this is a damn impressive haul. I see the possibility of five rookie starters in that crew.

I fully agree that a choice or two on that list is not what I project to be a NEP type of player, but the list itself is impressive in the talent aspect.

Personally, I am expecting 1/2 of a draft this good. That'd be great, along with another couple of high picks next yr, as long as they're taken on defense.

There are too many on this site who continuosly build up the draft like it's going to be some miracle worker, then they are the group who's the first to b!tch as soon as it's nothing like they imagined.

I am hoping for 2-3 guys who will help to produce this year, and hopefully an upgrade in talent at a few positions. On top of that, I am hoping to re-load on picks for next yr too, which is a probability.

I thought the last 2 yrs were great, but many complained last yr.

Switch out one of the top two for Nick Perry and its a done deal.
