New NFL Draftcountdown mock draft

Not open for further replies.
I would take a really hot cheerleader in the 3rd round before I take a punter.

As long as it was a compensatory pick, I'm sure she'd agree.
 
New update (April 23):

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/sub/mockdraft.html

1-24 Brandon Meriweather, S
1-28 David Harris, LB
3-91 Daniel Sepulveda, P

Next update: Early saturday.

That is a draft that makes fair sense. Not that I like Meriweather particularly, but the value at each position is fairly judged, and the fit for the Patriots is such that we could envision three starters emerging from the three first day picks.

Meriweather might replace Wilson if he were to leave in a year or two, and could bea fifth DB, in the mean time. he could beef up enough and his tackling and hitting, might improve enough to challenge Sanders for the nominal SS job.

I suspect that Harris will turn into a very good SILB starter and an eventual "Mike Man" who has the sense and aptitude to call defenses and set players. SILB is manned by an out-of-position player so the oportunity is there for him to advance as rapidly as he can.

Sepulveda could be the Pats punter for a decade and a half, joining Gostkowski as a ST star. That is something that is always of concern to BB.

That is all you could ask.

Question, what do you mean by "and his tackling and hitting, might improve enough to challenge Sanders"?

His tackling and hitting are already better than Sanders, as is his coverage ability. James Sanders is a decent Safety and I liked him when NE drafted him, but he's not on Meriweather's level.

If we take Leonard, so be it, he'd help the team but it would be like the Welker trade to me . . . safe and OK but very limited upside. To play it safe with a late #2 was one thing, to do it again with a late #1 is going to far for me.

I agree pretty much. I think he's an awful pick at #28. Total reach. There will be far better talent at much more needy positions available. I'd be upset if they did that.
