Midseason 2012 Mock Draft

Why trade down to get more average players when we can have an impact player at the top, in theory?

This is my problem with trading down. I'd much rather have a blue chip player than drop down too far and just get a marginal player. Yes I'm aware you can get great players late(Beason/Kalil for example), but it's a lot harder to find those guys late in the first.

Although if we end up picking #2(VERY likely IMO), we could probably trade down just a few spots and get very good compensation. Redskins, Chiefs, Dolphins, and maybe even the Seahawks will all be wanting quarterbacks and will all be picking high enough to trade down without passing up on significant talent.

Yeah, I'm sure Sam Bradford would love to know he will be beaten to a pulp yet again due to a sorry OL. But its OK Sam you can have a rookie WR to heave the ball to in those few times you get a clean look.

Kalil to the Rams if he is still on the board. Basic rule of thumb. #1 - get a franchise QB; #2 - get him protection; #3 - get him weapons. Rams need to address #2 first.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
