Forum Mock Draft

[everlong]

Good call. I imagine the Packers taken DJ Swearinger right after then. They seem to be dying to put someone next to Morgan Burnett.

Ya I had him in mind for the Packers right until I realized we all missed Hankins.

Wow. Nice catch there. I guess these things are bound to happen occasionally when we're using a forum to manage it.

That's a shocker. Any reasoning for that? It seems like Steelers would go best OT available or ILB here.

I'm not a fan of Barkley as a top 10-20 pick and a starter day one, but as a mid 2nd round pick that can have time to groom and improve his arm, I really like him. He has great skills and the right attitude unlike the other USC QBs. Big Ben may only be 31 but the way he plays he's bound to get injured again, and how about having a real backup QB, not the collection of Batch, Leftwich, and Dixon.

Best Case #1

-Big Ben injured for 3-4 games. Barkley comes in, looks great, and turns your 8-8 season into a 10-6 playoff season. Then in the offseason he is traded for a bounty like Schaub and Kolb.

Best Case #2

--Big Ben injured, Barkley looks great, you have your QB of the future and trade Big Ben for a ransom.

Worst Case #1

-He sucks. A mid-2nd round pick turned bust, not a big deal.

Worst Case #2

-Big Ben is healthy 64 straight games. Barkley never sees the field and is traded for a 3rd/4th or becomes a FA.

Now, #48 is probably too early for a Mallett type pick, but I think it's a worthy investment.

Vegas opened on this at 64 billion to 1.

I like the Barkley pick. I think the most likely scenario is that Ben plays out his contract, demands 25 million a year and a 25 million dollar signing bonus, and the Steelers let him go to free agency and turn the team over to Barkley.

BTW even though this turned into a clusterfark look at those final 8 picks of the both rounds and tell me which group will have the better careers. Yes a guy like Hankins won't fall that far most likely but that means somebody else will. The only way the Pats don't trade out of 29 is if somebody has an epic fall to them.

That Barkley pick is brilliant. If we do trade Mallett and he falls into the late 2nd/early 3rd I would love to take him (although this is coming from a guy that had us taking Barkley at 29 with one of my early pre Brady extension mocks )
