My first mock

[zero]

1st Round:

1.- Detroit - Matthew Stafford QB
2.- St. Louis - Jason Smith OT
3.- Kansas City - Aaron Curry LB
4.- Seattle - Michael Crabtree WR
OT is a possibility but with Locklear and Jones they can wait one more year, also they signed Houshmanzadeh so I guess they're trying to win right now
5.- Cleveland - Chris Wells RB
OLB is a possibility but Wells is going to be more productive in his rookie season that most if not all the DE/OLB convertion projects
6.- Cincinnati - Eugene Monroe OT
7.- Oakland - Brian Orakpo DE
8.- Denver (from Jacksonville) - B.J. Raji DT
TRADE: Denver's 18th, 48th and 114th for Jacksonville's 8th (1386 vs 1400)
The Bronco's def line must be upgraded so they start with a monstrous DT, Jacksonville does want a DT but after Harvey's holdout they don't want the 8th pick.
9.- Green Bay - Aaron Maybin DE/OLB
10.- San Francisco - Michael Oher OT
First great surprise, Singlentary falls in love with Oher's background and his winner mentality
11.- Buffalo - Everett Brown DE
12.- Denver - Tyson Jackson DE
13.- Washington - Andre Smith OT
For one BB there's a lot of Snyders
14.- Baltimore (from NO) - Jeremy Maclin WR
TRADE: Baltimore's 26th and 57th for NO's 14th (1030 vs 1100)
Mason is getting old, Newsome has never been afraid of moving up to get his guy.
15.- Houston - Brian Cushing OLB
S is a possibility, but there are several guys in the 2nd round.
16.- Philadelphia (from SD) - William Beatty OT
I don't think Shawn Andrews can play LT, this is a reach but we've seen this last year with Duane Brown and Sam Baker.
17.- New York Jets - Knoshown Moreno RB
Imagine all the jests fans when they passed on Sanchez
18.- Jacksonville (from Den) - Perria Jerry DT
They lost their mojo after Stroud departure, WR is a possibility but there are several guys in the 2nd round.
19.- Tampa Bay - Mark Sanchez QB
They got the "steal" of the draft
20.- Detroit - Eben Britton OT
21.- San Diego (from Phi) - Ray Maualuga ILB
22.- Minnesota - Alex Mack C
After all Faine and Mangold were 1st rounders, and Mack is a better prospect than them.
23.- New England - Malcolm Jenkins CB/S
24.- Atlanta.- Brandon Pettigrew TE
25.- Miami.- Clay Mattews LB
CB is a possibility, but we've seen this before, in 2006 the Tuna selected Carpenter ahead of Cromartie.
26.- New Orleans (from Bal) - Sean Smith CB/S
LB is a possibility but with Vilma and the surprising return of Morgan they can adress their secondary
27.- Indianapolis - Kenny Britt WR
When they losted Stokley, they drafted Gonzales, so now they losted Harrison and they draft Britt
28.- St Louis (from Phi) - Josh Freeman QB
TRADE: St Louis 35th and 103 for Philly 28th (638 vs 660)
There's no way Philly drafts twice in the 1st round. Bulger has developed the Carr's syndrome.
29.- New York Giants - Michael Johnson DE
With Osi, Tuck and Johnson, Kiwanuka may play as OLB
30.- Tennessee - Darius Butler CB
Vontae Davis is avaiable but they don't want another Pacman
31.- Arizona - Donald Brown RB
32.- Pittsburgh - Vontae Davis CB

2nd Round

33.- Detroit - Ron Brace DT
34.- New England - Connor Barwin DE/OLB/TE
35.- Philadehlphia (from St. Louis) - Jared Cook TE
36.- Cleveland - Larry English OLB
37.- San Francisco (from Seattle) - Robert Ayers LB
TRADE: SF 43th and 146 for Sea 37th (503 vs 530)
38.- Cincinnati - Louis Delmas S
39.- Jacksonville - Percy Harvin RB/WR
40.- Oakland - DHB WR
41.- Green Bay - Max Unger T/G/C
42.- Buffalo - Duke Robinson G
43.- Seattle (from SF) - William Moore S
44.- Miami - DJ Moore CB
45.- NYG - James Laurinaitis LB
46.- Houston - Patrick Chung S
47.- New England - Evander Hood DE/DT
48.- Jacksonville (from Den) - Alphonso Smith CB
49.- Chicago - Hakeem Nicks WR
50.- Cleveland - Rashard Johnson S
51.- Dallas - Pat White QB/WR
52.- NYJ - Jarron Gilbert DE/DT
53.- Phi - Paul Kruger DE
54.- Minn - San Derrick Marks DT
55.- Atl - Fili Moala DT
56.- Mia - Victor Harris CB
57.- Det (from NO - from Bal) - Jarius Byrd CB
TRADE: Det 65 and 129 for No 57 (308 vs 330)
58.- NE - Jonathan Luigs G/C
59.- Car - Lawrence Sidbury DE
60.- NYG - Brian Robiskie WR
61.- Buf (from Ind) - Chase Coffman TE
TRADE: Buf 75 and 110 for Ind 61 (289 vs 292)
62.- Tenn - Chris Baker DT
63.- Ari - Eric Wood C
64.- Pitt - Andy Levitre G/C

Lots of good stuff, I appreciate the well-thought out trades. But at #4, are you saying that signing Housh for big money alongside Branch's big money makes it more likely that they take Crabtree at the top of the draft?

I'm assuming they'll cut Branch, big bucks for a lot of injuries is not what Sea wanted when they signed Deion.

I'd take branch back in a skinny minute. Would BB?

 

[VJCPatriot]

That depends. Will he play for peanuts or does he have to 'feed his family' ie CODE for back up the money truck.

He might be a good pickup, sure would make Tom Brady happy. Welker, Moss, Galloway & Branch ? wow.......BTW, nice mock, I'm a huge Jenkins fan ! If we can get Conner at #34 (I don't think he will be there), anything else will be gravy. Jenkins and Conner would possibly make a good defense, much better. I expect to see bigger things from Mayo, Crabel, Wheatley & Willhite this year, and adding top notch prospects like Jenkins and Conner would be insane. Also, let's not forget the signings of Bodden and Springs, this defense can be excellent ! Can't wait, 2 more weeks !

 

[Revman]

I really like this mock. This would be a better place to take Barwin. Malcom Jenkins would be a similar pick to Ty Law. Hood is my choice at 23. I do not think he will last to 47-if Pat's were able to get these 3 players, I would be thrilled. Hoods stock will increase each day the draft draws closer. He is the most experienced of all DL-man in this draft. 6'3-300lb's-great motor,natural rush moves,versatile enough to start in-but Pat's will pick him to take over De role for Seymour in future. He will get reps as a rookie-will give good minutes. I have Hood as one of the top 10 safest picks in this draft. He will be a good NFL player for years to come.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

With all the guaranteed money he got from Seattle, he doesn't need to break the bank, however if he is healthy, a little dent in the bank would be in order.

It's an extremely nice draft for the Pats. I like almost all of your picks - at #58 I take Eric Wood over Luigs any day, and I like Ziggy Hood but probably take Jarron Gilbert at #47, though it's plausible that the Pats would prefer your guys. My only "problem" is that it takes a big leap of faith that everything will fall to us this way:

- Malcolm Jenkins falling to 23 is possible but not likely.
- Barwin falling to 34 is probably unlikely right now.
- Either Jarron Gilbert and Ziggy Hood falling to 47 is possibly but unlikely; both is extremely unlikely
- Clint Sintim falling to #68 and Seattle accepting that trade (the could probably use him at LB with the Julian Peterson trade) is unlikely

Cumulatively all 4 happening is extremely unlikely. Anything's possible, but it seems like a big leap of faith. But I'd be quite content if it worked out that way.

 

[mayoclinic]

BTW, I think we have #170, not #162. But your trade with Seattle is already pretty lopsided in our favor.
