Gosselin's Final Mock Draft

[manxman2601]

Being based in the UK, I can probably hit the interwebs earlier than you snooze heads in the States. Some of his final mock is leaking so I'll update with what I can find so far...Expect a run on QB's by the way.

1. Panthers Cam Newton
2. Broncos Von Miller
3. Bills Marcell Dareus
7. 49'ers Blaine Gabbert
8. Titans Jake Locker
10. Redskins Christian Ponder
11. Texans Aldon Smith
12. Vikings Andy Dalton
20. Bucs Robert Quinn
25. Seahawks Prince Amukamara
26. Ravens JJ Watt

Nothing on the Pats picks yet, but boy is he predicting some fallers. He's either going to look incredibly prescient with some of these picks or is blowing his reputation out of the water (providing that is these leaks are accurate).

Will update if I can find out anymore.

 

[Tasco]

WOW...Amukamara at 25 and Watt at 26?! totally shocked...really anxious on what his predicitions for the Pats are!
Just read he's predicting Smith to the Cowboys.
What's his hit rate with the final mock?

Thankyou - saved some work.


So Bowers @33? Probably not if we've passed on him twice.

I could live with Jordan and Watkins in the first.

Can't see Robert Quinn falling to 20 unless there's something we're not aware about. Surprised that Muhammad Willkerson has fallen out of the 1st round as well, although I'd love for us to nab him at 33

 

[Wilfork#75]

5 QB's in the top 12? WOW

 

[randomk1]

No way that's happening...

 

[manxman2601]

5 QB's in the top 12? WOW

I think it's very logical. This way, the teams in need of a QB don't risk Miami or Seattle grabbing a QB in the first, don't have to give up picks in trading back into the first and don't risk being upstaged by other teams being more bold in trades. The only thing I'm surprised about is Gosselin not having Miami take a sixth QB because with no pick in the second, they risk missing out altogether.

These teams might be missing out on quality players in the high first round but their future success will be defined by their QBs, not their rookie DE or CB. And as plenty have noted here, there's value to be had in the second round.

It'll screw the trade market in the bottom of the first though.

5 QB's in the top 12? WOW

If there's 4 qb's in the Top 16, I'll bet we trade back from 17 to get their 2nd this year and 1st next year for some team wanting the 5th one. Thought we would do it at 28. Might do it earlier. I just don't see Danny Watkins as a 1st rounder. We'll see. I was hoping to trade back from 33 and get him 40-45. He will be 27 before he plays a down in the NFL.

 

[Big Bucks]

5 QB's in the top 12? WOW

Which = everyone trying to trade down, and everyone trying to trade into the late first to get the players dropping.

Should be fun, If true #33 will be worth a bounty for the 2nd day.

 

[Big Bucks]

Cannot understand the slip by Prince and being taken after Jimmy Smith.

 

[State]

Castonzo to the Colts hurts. That's a great fit for them, and I can see Peyton Manning's goofy grin right now.

Jordan is the player that makes the most sense. Problem is he is the best fit for the Chargers as well. I think we will need a small trade up to get him. The only other DEs that fit are Heyward and Wilkerson, who are lesser talents.

 

[State]

OTs Solder and Carimi ahead of Castonzo?

Curious. And it's on the heels of the ESPN show with Bill Parcells who put Carimi in the third round.

I don't think Solder and Carimi are first-round talents, but they may be taken due to need.

 

[patriotscpfc]

Quinn at 20?

I doubt it.

And if Bill passes on him. Well, i'll jump off a ledge until we find out the reason why we didn't take him á la Kindle last year.

 

[FredFromDartmouth]

Christian Ponder to the Redskins at 10? He has great intangibles but wow that is a shock....

 

[manxman2601]

Fairley to the Lions. does that make any sense playing next to Suh?

 

[NePatriots]

5 QB's in the top 12? WOW

Remember, the way the Huddle Report competition (Gold standard in our industry) works is that you get 1 point if a player you have in the 1st gets picked in the 1st round, and 2 bonus points if he goes to the right team.

Gosselin could easily be tipping off who is looking to trade down.

 

[Box_O_Rocks]

This is going to be interesting, I can see NE getting a second from Cincinnati for Hoyer, IF the league year is officially started and IF the QB run is as violent as Gos predicts. That break after round one could make things truly fun if teams can move players again.

Trading does look like it's going to get wild for a bit. :woot:
