Another Mock Draft, by n4s720

It seems everyone is making a mock draft, so here is my two cents on who we should take. This could just be another wish list, however:

2nd Round, Pick #48: Lamarr Houston, DT, Texas

He's a former defensive end making the move inside to tackle. He's got good size at 6'3", 305 lbs. He could be a very disruptive force in the middle and could make a good replacement for D. Lewis.

love the Seyi pick. have had him in my mocks before. kinda starting to like Mitchell. reminds me of Jarrett a little when he was at USC. no thanks to Houston, overhyped due to being on the same defense as Earl thomas, Rodderick Muckelroy, and Kindle. I do think we draft a DT, but WR IS #1 need. Mardy Gilyard in the 2nd, and D'Anthony Smith in the 3rd

I thought you were an Alualu guy?

Decent to good draft but I would replace the Lamarr Houston pick with either Mardy Gilyard or DeMaryius Thomas and the Seyi Ajirotutu pick I would replace with DT Brandon Deaderick who I think is an excellent value for the 6th round. The guy has flown under the radar and had a dissappointing senior season at Bama(after being shot in the arm in a botched robbery attempt) but is a hell of a tackle and could give us some solid size/immediate depth in the middle(6'4" 314).

Overall though I think your draft is pretty decent and I like the Darian Stewart pick. The University of South Carolina isnt called "DB" University for nothing and has produced tons of NFL quality DB's. As a Gamecock season ticket holder for the last decade I've seen Stewart play his entire career at USC and the kid is definitely a football player. I don't care what the draft reports say, the kid has great field vision, is good vs. the run and although he is not the greatest in pass coverage, the kid hits like a freight train and is as tough as mama's leftover pork chop's.

Heck I wish we needed an OLB, would love to be able to pickup Eric Norwood as well, but I'm not even getting my hopes up for that.

The great thing about Norwood is his versatility. He could easily bulk back up and move back to DE. He played at around 270 before he moved to OLB.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
