Latest Mock draft

Recommended Posts

Thought that was a very good mock. I like the idea of getting a guard in the 3rd, if there's a good value there, but I'm kinda hoping we get Mankins in free agency and use that 3rd on a DT.

edit: thought it was kinda funny (and fitting) when he mentioned Locker and his inability to win in college reminding him of Clausen.

I am not sure we would take a G in the third. We need 2-3 DTs and probably wouldn't sign 2. I think we draft CB and DT in the third (Peppers comp pick), I then think we use the 4th rounder for OL, but I think LOT and C are bigger needs. Schwartz was starting to get it at RG. We will probably sign a free agent.

"1. A.J. Green, WR - These are if Luck doesn't declare. A.J. Green is one of the top wideout prospects in recent memory. Steve Smith is done, just like many 31- to 33-year-old receivers who rely solely on speed. In fact, I would cut Smith because I wouldn't want him poisoning Luck. Carolina needs a new No. 1 receiver."

How would he poison Luck if he doesn't declare for the NFL????

I would love to get Luck, Marv Austin drop to third round and then draft Jenkins in the 4th. Sures up DL and QB situation. Would make me feel a lot better.

btw - Smith isnt done. He has lost a step but everyone forgets that Smith broke his arm. He just hasnt looked like himself but if we draft Luck, Smith will be rejuvenated and will have a monster season next year.

i'd rather address OG and DT in FA. much better quality and choices there. use the 3rd rounder for BPA.

    • I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.
    • Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.  
    • Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
