Well my first draft and off season topic missed quite a bit, but hey, who expected me to be even close to right? With that being said, watching the Senor bowl coverage, looking at our true needs, I've come up with my second and final draft until the week before the draft. A little more real look at it this time.

1. Chance Warmack

Rivera said himself in an interview not long ago that he expected the line play to better after Cam got hit near a league high through the last 8 games last season. I do expect Gross to be back, Kalil will be back from injury and Silatolu will be better. That said we need some more talent to take over for Hangartner and Bell (who has been pretty solid). You win at the line a scrimmage, and giving our RB's better lanes, and Cam more time to throw could make an immediate impact at the beginning of the year.

2. Quinton Patton

Seems high right? I don't think so, watching a reviewing a lot of film this guy is one of the best route runners I've seen. He has incredible control on his feet, can cut on a dime and make defenders miss on the screen. Great at getting separation even when there isn't much room. He has strong hands, catches almost everything that goes his way. I think he will be one of the steals of the draft. Also, Gettleman seems to have a thing about drafting wide receivers high in the draft.

4. Phillip Thomas

With 2 safeties possibly leaving us (Nakamura + Martin), I think we will look for depth at this position.

5. DT

7. K

That's all I got.

Peace.

accidental double thread... please delete one

I like it. I hate basically ignoring DT like that, with it being such a high need in my opinion, but the direction you went makes sense too. B (would be a B+ but I'm subtracting half a grade for ignoring our two 6th comp picks we're projected to have)

[BigSyke]

where dat 7th pick come from?

We drafted Colin Jones with that pick

[carolina-chuck]

Very good mock!

I can really live with Warmack, Patton and Thomas.

Go the FA route for a DT (Starks/Branch/Dorsey/Ellis)

[carolina-chuck]

We drafted Colin Jones with that pick

I thought the Colin Jones trade was a 2014 7th

[wwgd]

Phillip Thomas in the 4th would be awesome. I think he's a 2nd rounder though.

Well then we drafted Louis Murphy with that pick

[carolina-chuck]

Well then we drafted Louis Murphy with that pick

then we should have a 6th for the OP mock draft.

yup Thomas will be a 2nd.

[rscott94]

Yep we might end up having 3 of em (with the two conditional picks)

[Jaxel]

I got confused cause alot of places say different. I think Murphy was conditional 6 or 7 based on stats or something, either way, substitute 6 with 7, doesn't matter, still think we take a kicker.

[Bwood]

Like it but extremely unlikely.

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, for the umpteenth time, Colin Jones cost us a 2014 7th, Murphy will cost us either a 6th or 7th. I'm speculating a 7th because the only possible escalator he could have possibly hit was a very low playing time requirement.
