Insert Clever Mock Draft Thread Title Here

[scottyboy]

Ok, so I figured since this is probably the most all around about a draft that I've known for a couple drafts, I'd try and throw together a last minute mock. It ended up feeling like this:



I also know that so many trades and crap happen so I won't be very correct, and I hate being wrong. But with that being said, I made some surprise picks to be different and I've suggested some trades. One or 2 I actually did. Constructive criticism is good, if you yell at me or say mean things I'm going to take your mother out to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again, so think about the consequences. Anywho:

1) Colts: Andrew Luck
-Herpderpderp

2) Redskins: RG3
-why you gotta break my heart so?

3) Vikings: Mo Claiborne, CB, LSU
- So much smoke it's either an episode of Madmen or there's fire.

4) Browns: Trent Richardson, RB, Bama
- I think this is going to be/has to be the pick regardless of anything else.

5) Bills (f/Tampa) : Matt Kalil, LT, USC
-hooray predicting trade! I think this is a match made in Heaven. Kalil sures up a Bills Oline. Can step in day one and help an offense that was playoff bound before FJax went down. I also know all the DB hype but surprises happen so often. Probably cost a lot but yeah, I'm just being Miley.

6) Rams: Justin Blackmon, WR, OkSt
-I still think this just has to happen. Get Bradford some weapons to work around. I'm not buying the Cox hype.

7) Chiefs (f/Jax) : Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
-I wrote my mock up prior to typing it...and while typing this, I made this move. I just think the Jags are going to move out of this pick, and the jump for KC won't be too bad.

8) Dolphins: Malcolm Floyd, WR, ND
-With Blackmon and Tanny gone, they go with Floyd to help their offense. I've seen blackmon going to them, and I dont think there's that big of a difference between the 2.

9) Panthers: Fletcher Cox, DT, Miss. St.
-The panthers defense is poopy. Cox in the middle will bring them a big force. Originally had Gilmore here, but I feel they go with the big boy. In a deep WR clas, they can get a guy like Sanu or Alshon in the 2nd to help Cam

10) Bucs (f/Bills) : Luke Kuechly, LB, BC
- Oh hey, the guy they like at 5 is there at 10? Bucs fans respond with "boomtown".

11) Jags (f/Chiefs) : Melvin Ingram, DE/Olb, South Carolina
- Jags, even with a trade down, are hard to mock. But I feel Ingram's the guy here. Although, it was so close to being Gilmore.

12) Seahawks: Stephen Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
- BPA for the Hawks and helps give them a filthy secondary with their top 5 safety duo.

13) Arizona Cardinals: Reilly Reiff, OT, Iowa
- I don't think Fenikz will like this pick, but I didn't know where else to go. Thought about Cordy but I'm not sure his value is that high. Reiff's a guy they can plug in on the OL day one.

14) Cowboys- Mark Barron, Safety, Bama
- I was hoping this didn't happen, but I just didn't see anyone trading up to grab Barron (except the lions..which actually happened in the forum mock, but that's a big jump). Cowgirls luck out and get Barron.

15) Eagles- Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
- boring, logical pick. Whatever. Eagles are dumb.

16) Jets- David Decastro, OG, Stanford
Screwed with no Barron or Ingram, Jets go BPA. their Oline hasn't been as dominant as it once was. This pick pains me to make, but it's something that could happen.

17) Bengals - Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
- Not willing to keep up the whole "bengals r criminals" they pass on Jenkins for Dre, another talented CB.

18) Lions (f/Chargers) : Cordy Glenn, OL, UGA
- Lions leapfrog possible destinations for Glenn like the Bears, tits and bengals to grab a guy to help keep Stafford upright. Versatile and can play almost anywhere

19) Bears: Whitney Mercilus, DE Illinois
- Apparently they REALLY like this guy and I'm not one to argue with strong reports.

20) Titans: Dontarius Poe, DT, Memphis
- Surprised the big man has fallen this far, the Titans go for him. Not the ideal fit, but a big man, with Casey, gives them a hellish DT duo.

21) Bengals: Stephen Hill, WR, GT
-An explosive WR to pair with Green and Gresham and do their best to give Dalton some weapons.

22) Browns, Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
- Up there for the most mocked pick, right behind Luck and RG3. srsly.

23) Chargers (f/Lions) : Courtney Upshaw, OLB, Bama
-Upshaw's fall stops in San Diego who traded down and gets a pass rusher to add to their D.

24) Steelers: Dont'a Hightower, LB, Bama
- See pick 22.

25) Denver Broncos: Janoris Jenkins, CB, N. Alabama
- A risky pick here for Denver, but his talent is so great, he's worth the risk. He can learn from Champ and greatly improve this secondary.

26) Houston Texans: Rueben Randle, WR, LSU
- Gives them a non-white guy to pair with Andre. Tempted to give them J. Martin here to replace the cut Winston, and I feel Martin fits best in a ZBS, but Randle makes sense here.

27) Patriots: Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC
- Gives them a pass rusher on the outside which they need. Badly.

28) Packers: Shea McClellin, OLB, Boise St.
-Again, a pick I've seen 1000 times...but can't quite argue with.

29) Ravens: Mike Adams, OT, OSU
- McKinnie stinks and Adams is a power guy to plug into that OL and fits their style. Not a HUGE fan of this pick, but one I feel fits the best.

30) 49ers: Amini Silatolu, OG, Midwestern St.
- Fits their power style and gives them an incredible OL. I like him over Zeitler, and Konz is falling.

31) Patriots: George Iloka, S, Boise St.
-Surprise! Some will say it's a reach, but it's the pats, so nobody is surprised. I pick I like and will shock many, but one I can really see happening.

32) Giants: Bobby Massie, OT, Ole Miss
- Is it weird my team was one of the hardest to mock? So many options, but I feel Massie is the guy on our board. His run blocking will be huge for us and we can plug him in on the right side and let Beatty/Diehl duke it out at LT. And by that, I mean Diehl at LT and Beatty being a creamuff Uconn loser on the bench.

I know there are guys like Chandler Jones, Martin and Reyes and some others I let fall out of the first...but cue BF with the "deal with it" .gifs.

I've given up the hope of Claiborne or Richardson being there at 5. If we miss out I am praying for a trade down. Kuelchy or Barron plus extra picks sounds pretty good to me right about now.

[scottyboy]

i just realized I don't have coples. ****.

oh well, I'm not high on him anyway

Put him at 32 and call it a day

But overall, nice job for your first and only mock scotty

Give him to the Patriots.

I want to kiss you on the mouth right now.

[Dan_Steele]

If the Pats do indeed like Iloka enough to take him that high they will most likely just do what they always do and trade down. He'll most likely be available later in round 2.

[Nalej]

Ugh @ Pats mock. I hope not.

[Asteinebach]

I love this first round for the Lions. Take THAT Chicago.

[fenikz]

Glenn's value is higher than Reiff's and fits our system to a tee

I did think that, I mean you could pretty much flip flop Glenn and Reiff, trade and everything.

Would the Cards use him as a LT? Because I feel Reiff is better suited at LT than Glenn...but I do feel Glenn could be a top 5 RT in this league.

[mightytitan9]

I'd be ok with it, although I'd really be hoping if Poe was there that we could work out a trade

[holt_bruce81]

Nice job dude, love the Rams pick.

[derza222]

I really like what you did with the top 10. If the Vikings do go Claiborne, that seems like a really logical scenario.

For the Jets, not sure if DeCastro will be the pick. They've shown no interest in him and basically always have their first round picks in for visits, plus guard's a pretty solid position right now. Tough situation there, but I'd guess Glenn, Mercilus, and Hill are more likely with maybe Poe or Hightower getting a look.

I was so iffy on that pick. I wasn't sure if they'd really go for Poe or Hightower and I'm not sure how Mercilus would fit. Hill'd be a good option. I also couldn't have Decastro fall much farther. As I quote the great shane p hallam when we were talking "Decastro is a pain in the ass to place". Top 10 talent IMO, but he's a guard.

Again, once I realized Ingram and Barron were gone, I had no clue where to go with the Jets.

Yeah I'm with you on it being a tough spot with those two gone. There's kind of two ways it can go for me, either the Ingram rumors are totally legit and they trade up for him or they're not and they definitely have somebody else in mind they really like. The second one is what I've been trying to figure out, and I'm wondering if they like Mercilus if Ingram's not their guy. Rich Cimini's put together a list of 5 guys and their first rounder's been on it each of the last 5 years at least. He hinted at them liking Mercilus on his most recent list, and if he finds his way onto the final one along with guys like Ingram, Coples, Poe, and Floyd then I think they might be big on Mercilus because unless they trade up Ingram and Floyd should be off the board and I don't know that Coples and Poe really fit what they've been doing in the first round recently.

I honestly don't think they'd bite on Poe or Hightower either (it's also been said that 7 of their 8 top OLB prospcts played DE in college, so either they like Hightower inside or they only have one of Hightower and Upshaw as an option) which is why Mercilus kind of makes sense to me. Bryan Thomas and Calvin Pace should be starting this year anyway, gives a year to bring him along and he fits their M.O. in the first round recently which has been guys who are productive and athletic at positions of need. It's tough to read and I think it'll be a bit easier to get a feel for who they like at 16 once that list comes out. Chandler Jones has been getting a lot of late steam too, but I don't think I'd like that at all.

Sorry for the rant, just figured I'd follow up

[thebow305]

I wouldn't mind Floyd to Miami one bit! Nice work!

I've been thinking about Massie to the Giants for a while as well, but I haven't had the balls to put Massie in the 1st yet, have there been any talk to suggest he could be the guy??

[BallerT1215]

Bills getting franchise LT is OK with me!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
