Post Combine Forum Mock Draft

[zimmy]

Saints select Kony Ealy.

Zach Martin probably should have gone to Miami. Carolina would probably be eyeing him up at this point.

I think I'd be voting Shazier, with CJ Mosley and Jason Verrett other options (purely as the three best players on the board in my view)

Might also be a spot to trade down. Perhaps Minnesota coming up for Derek Carr.

CJ Mosley still available is also remarkable.

Mosley at MLB with Hightower moving to DE could be interesting.

Why take nominations? Let anyone put in their top 3, and go from there.

It helps to focus peoples minds. Dee Ford is also available BTW

Carolina needs help at WR and takes Kelvin Benjamin

Pats are on the clock

1-Stephon Tuitt

[mayoclinic]

1. Stephon Tuitt
2. Ryan Shazier
3. Kyle Fuller

The reality would probably be a trade back. But ...

1. Ryan Shazier.
2. Zach Martin.
3. CJ Mosley.

Very close between those 3, all of whom could easily go much higher when the actual draft rolls around. I think Shazier's explosiveness could add a huge element to the defense. Martin and Mosley are Pats-kind of players (as is Kyle Fuller).

 

[All22PatsFan]

1. Zach Martin
2. Dom Easley
3. DaQuan Jones

 

[zimmy]

1. CJ Mosley
2. Ryan Shazier
3. Jason Verrett


Think Mosley is too good to pass up here. A bit like when Wilfork fell in 2004 and they planned to take Jackson.

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

1, CJ Mosely
2. Ryan Shazier
3. Austin Seferin-Jenkins

1. I've been awake for 24 hours. That's the only way to explain the fact that I forgot my favourite prospect.

2. It's my thread and I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.

I just wanted you to know that I was paying attention.

Not allowed, but I said that in reality that's what would happen. Though I think Mosley, Shazier and Martin are all worthy of #29.

Were would Shazier play? At 240 in a 43 he wouldnt fit too well. Mayo, Hightower and Collins should all be starting at LB and Ninko and CJ should also be starting.

1. Against faster, more pass oriented teams we could see a base with Collins - Mayo - Shazier (WILL), and Hightower getting reps at both MLB and DE. Shazier could also play MLB in this kind of scheme.

2. Shazier could also get reps at safety (or LB/S hybrid, a role the team has looked to fill for years) in a "big nickel" package.

3. Shazier could also get reps at WILL with Collins moving into a sub-rusher role.

4. Shazier could also get reps at DE in a NASCAR package.

5. Shazier could also play WILB in a 3-4 scheme.

He could play a safety/LB hybrid. He could play a cover LB allowing Jamie Collins to line up at DE in sub packages, he could play a stand up pass rusher or a leo. There's plenty of ways to get that explosiveness onto the field. He'd be a beast of a 3-4 ILB next to Hightower.
