I like parts of this Mock....Solder, Wilkerson, and Moch specifically.
But you're right....we NEED a guard. If you replace LeShoure with Wisniewski this Mock looks decent.
The changes I would make according to this mock....
1a. Solder OT
1b. Wilkerson DE
2a. Wisniewski G/C
2b. Danny Watkins G
3a. Kendall hunter RB (My binky
)
3b. Moch OLB
4. Toliver WR
5. Not sure at this point, but not Beal.
O.K. I would not want some of these, but these Drafts are all "fun opinions". Someone made sense to me when they said drafting an OT in the first for us means a RT. He was correct. Kudos to that poster. Never thought about that and young Mr, Volmer. I think they resign Light for a couple. If Kerrigan, Watt or Jordan are on the board at #17 this would seem a done pick but then BB could choose a QB and most would buy the Koolaid. Remember, other than last year, our swapping and all that crap have led to Drafts that have been mediocre at best. One or two wins and more wiffs. But if you look at 17% as the NFL average he has not been too far off most years.
The caveat on Watt is Tom Condon. I like Aldon Smith as well but that is a problem with him too. Do I think BB can be vengeful?......You answer that. You would think these kids do their homework and see how an agent can mean one less Team wants to employ you. They will get Drafted by the next Team that needs their services but what if it five or eight or twelve picks later. It's called losing money.
It tickles me to see how BB has not become "The Drafter Almighty" after one, and I admit very good year in the Draft. The jury is still out as far as I am concerned in the Pats Draft room so lets hope this year can be a repeat of last with success.
I see the only pass rusher that will have an immediate impact over the others in my book is Miller. We won't get to him. Stroud could be camp fodder but why the panic to sign him unless he is penciled in to be a definite contributor in 2011. Now DE would seem a little less of a priority but who knows.
Round 1:
I go
Kerrigan
then
Cameron Jordan over Wilkerson.
Round 2:
Wisnewski played at where? Penn State. How great have their Drafted players been in the NFL lately? BB Drafts Ohrnberger and he is purely a JAG. Name three current Penn State NFL starting stars? You grab
G Danny Watkins early in the second. He starts.
Now a Playmaker.
WR Randall Cobb might wind up being productive in all phases of the game. Picture this........A bigger, younger Troy Brown.
Round 3:
We can see a need for a RB. My pick is
RB DeMarco Murray. 213lbs and a 4.41 40. He caught 71 passes so he is a three down back and because of injuries he is not rated higher. Can get our system as he was All Academic Big 12. He is the game breaker.
My second pick in Round 3 is
DE/OLB Greg Romeus. Would have been a first rounder this year but injuries stymied him. Now medically cleared. 6'5" AND 268LBS. 4.79 speed. 2009 Big East Co-Defensive Player of the Year and Unanimous First Team All-Big East … Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award finalist … named to three All-America teams at season's end, including CollegeFootballNews.com (second team), Sporting News (third team) and Rivals (third team) … had 43 tackles, 11.5 TFLs and eight sacks … also had an INT, a fumble recovery, three forced fumbles and a blocked PAT.
Can be the steal of the Draft and our elephant OLB.
Both 3rd round picks should be ready to go. Tate was chosen in the third without hesitation with similar circumstance.
Round 4:
I want a replacement for Koppen in the wings but who can play Guard for now. I want a tough guy. I take
G Jon Moffitt from Wisconsin. Much bigger than Koppen and played on a great O-Line.
I think we get a COMP for Ben Watson-Our Safeties are iffy at best. Merriweather still has metal lapses. Sanders is part of a group that was 30th in passing yards against. Chung is the best of the lot but is still young. I like
S Shiloh Keo here. 6' and 216lbs and quick enough feet to return punts. Can flip his hips. Will tackle and a solid ST guy. A BB sort of fellow. Tough kid. NFL Network crew sees him as a solid pick up.
Round 5:
Now a OT here. I see is
T James Carpenter. All SEC at Bama. It seems like Light will be here in 2011 anyway. Gives this kid time. Saban will advise BB on him.
Round 6:
I gamble on big
CB Richard Sherman from Stanford. 6'3" and 197lbs. Played against top competition. 4.57 40. Moving up the boards. A real anti-smurf CB. Played WR for a few years. Still raw but can anticipate WR moves. Also can play WR in a pinch yet again. 37 Receptions in 2007 and led the Team in yards. Also returns punts. Should grasp our system being from Stanford.
