Here's a new 3 rounder from Walter football:
WalterFootball.com: 2010 NFL Mock Draft
They have the Pats picking at 26, 42, 48 and 58, and have us taking:
26. Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St. Doubt he lasts this long, but I don't want us to go WR in 2010.
42. Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech. A home run as far as I'm concerned.
48. George Selvie, DE/OLB, South Florida. Not the DE/OLB I'd pick.
58. Mich Petrus, OG, Arkansas.
Given picking at those spots and the draft falling as they have it, my choice would be:
26. One of 3 players:
- Derrick Morgan, DE/OLB, Georgia Tech. 6'4", 270#, a young Jared Allen (going #27 to Minnesota, which would be scary).
- Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri. 6'2", 247#, in the Patrick Willis mold (going #30 to New Orleans, which would also be scary).
- Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama. 6'4", 255# SILB (going #31 to the Colts, which would be a misfit).
I'd probably go for Morgan right now, but it's close. I'd be ecstatic if any of the 3 were available when we actually pick in the 1st round.
42. Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech. 6'1" 235#. A young Corey Dillon.
41 (trade up with Buffalo). One of 3 players:
- Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU. 6'2", 257# (going #43 to Miami).
- Sergio Kindle, DE/OLB, Texas. 6'4", 255#, probably under 4.60 (going #44 to Arizona).
- Brankon Spikes, ILB, Florida. 6'3", 253# (going #45 to Dallas).
At 41 with Jonathan Dwyer and these 3 guys on the board and us picking at 42 and 48 (and Miami, Arizona and Dallas picking 43-45) I'd try to trade up to make sure I get one of them. Who I take depends on who went at 26. If we took Weatherspoon or McClain, then I go with Hughes or Kindle at DE/OLB. M-W-F I'd take Kindle. T-Th-F I'd go with Hughes. I'd prefer either to Selvie, who is too light to be effective in the Pats' system. T-Th-S I'd prefer Hughes. If we took Morgan than I'd probably go with Spikes, who could play 3-4 SILB and 4-3 SAM.
58. One of 2 players:
- Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho. A 6'6" 330# behemoth who would give us the best pair of interior lineman in the NFL if we could resign Mankins. A bigger, stronger Mankins. Could be a legitimate 1st round pick come April. (Not listed in the first 3 rounds of this mock).
- Corey Wooten, DE, Northwestern. 6'7", 280#. Incredibly talented DE who would have been a 1st round pick last year before getting injured in his bowl game. Has been slow to come back from injury this year, and hasn't regained his junior form, but could be a great 3-4/4-3 DE.
The "best case scenario" out of those options is probably:
27. Derrick Morgan, DE/OLB, Georgia Tech.
41. Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida.
42. Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech.
58. Mike Iupati, OG, Idaho.
Dwyer running behind Mankins and Iupata would be something to see. Hope it happens.
Other favorite players:
8. Brian Bulaga, OT, Iowa.
13. Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland. One of my sleepers for a possible 1st round OT pick, he seems to be getting too much press. Will likely also be a workout warrior at the combine.
21. Jahvid Best, RB, Cal.
25. Eric Norwood, DE/OLB, South Carolina.
46. Jason Fox, OT, Miami.
49. Arthur Jones, DE/DT, Syracuse.
77. Brandon Graham, DE/OLB, Michigan.
