Mock Draft Thread

that mock draft is ridiculous. He has 6 WR's in the first round, Mark Sanchez in the top 10 and the Texans taking Beanie Wells. No way any of that happens.

 

BAYLOR GUY GOES #1!!!!

 

to me, that signifies a definite need to trade down unless someone falls unexpectedly. Mocks can't assume that.. but they also don't want us drafting someone wayyy higher than they should go.

 

Good thread...


I don't see how we let all (or any for that matter) of these guys slip by us, while taking Beanie Wells:

Oher
Matthews
Cushing
Davis
Jerry
Malauaga

 

That is the most ridiculous mock draft I have seen this year.

Maybe ever.

 

If the picks before us went down like McShay thinks, then everyone Eddie listed would be taken before Wells. Our 1st rounder is going to be a starter, no question. We have way too many holes to draft a backup in the 1st.

 

I just heard Kiper on ESPN say that in order to possibly take Marc Sanchez, the Bucs would have to move up past the Texans and possibly the Jags.

What is this guy smoking? I think his hair is giving off fumes....

Edit: I think Sanchez would be a nice fit in San Fran. I could see him going to the Niners at pick number 10.

My ideal first round would be to trade down about a few spots and pick up one of the following, depending on who's available:

Peria Jerry
Vontae Davis
Malcolm Jenkins(very unlikely he;d be available)
Cushing
Matthews
Malauaga
Oher

Basically, the people I listed above.

Hopefully, by going down those few spots, we can get an extra third.

 

17. New York Jets - Percy Harvin WR Florida

Has Harvin's star fallen this much?

Texans will no doubt be drafting defense in the first two rounds.

 

I think this guy was on the radio the other day. Someone from ESPN was on at least that had us taking Wells in the first. He said the mock where he had us taking Wells was kind of a shakeup draft for him, and he was looking at this one as a possibility if things didn't go as expected.

Basically I got the impression he was just penciling whoever where ever.

 

Harvin wasn't supposed to be a first round pick because he doesn't have a true position.

Now he's a virtual lock to be the likely 3rd WR taken.

 

We need a bruiser running back but no way in the first round this team isnt deep enough to take backupsthat early.

Also I thought Crabtree was dropping.

This mock draft sucks

 

15 is about right for Sanchez. Texans want to trade down. I don't see Sanchez falling past the 15 pick.

 

I quit looking at McShay's once he had us taking Sanchez at 15. I do think we could trade down little bit so someone else can take him there. I think we can do that and still grab Matthews around the 20th pick, but its dicey as his stock is rising. If we can do this and net an extra third or fourth rounder that would be great. I can really see it, especially seeing as a team like Tampa would love to get Sanchez. Here's hoping.

Either way, Wells would be cool, but I highly doubt we're going defense with our pick even if we trade down.

 

That scenario is based on the Lions not drafting Stafford. Both Kiper and McShay still believe Detroit will draft Stafford.

Here's their draft based on that:

Kiper has us drafting Brian Cushing and McShay has us drafting Robert Ayers.

 

From the last two games Harvin played, I was thinking that he had to be a top 5 lock. I guess the football scouts see it different. Go figure.

 

Here are some mock drafts from the so-called analysts at nfl.com:

Charles Davis

Charles has us drafting Vontae Davis.

Jamie Dukes

Jamie has us drafting Michael Johnson.

Pat Kirwan

Pat has us drafting Chris Wells.

Steve Wyche

Steve has us drafting Malcolm Jenkins.

 

There is no such thing as a draft expert. Their guess is as good as mine. I will be shocked if the Texans don't trade back and pick up an extra pick along with a linebacker in the first round assuming Jenkins is off the board at 15.
