Football Gameplan's 2012 NFL Mock Draft Video - January

I would continue to build around Newton.. Defensively speaking, you guys had plenty injuries. LaFell, Gettis, Nanee won't cut it.

As for Burfict.. He's a Top 5 talent..whether or not he goes there is really up for debate. I would take him...

#6 offense in the nfl #30 defense and you have us picking a receiver, (one who isn't a top 10 prospect at that)

As for Burfict he won't go there.

you're thinking too far down the road and you'd be making the team incredibly lopsided. the team has no problem putting up points. it's stopping other teams that is the problem. they can take care of WR later. focus on more immediate needs that will help the team get wins. adding a WR isn't going to do that.

you're thinking along the same lines that the falcons did. the falcons won't go far because they lack key elements and the gave them up so that matt ryan could have more weapons. he has them and they are still a one and done playoff team and that's all they will be because they aren't complete.

michael floyd is a bit overrated as well.

I like your insight, can't agree with some of the picks, but everyone has different opinions and the draft is still months away. I agree that even though their stock is slipping right now, I think Burfict and Jeffery will move back up the board. I think #5 overall is a tad bit high for Burfict, but I could legit see him go in the top 15. He just has some character concerns that would keep me from taking him in the top 15.

Loving the fact that you guys aren't programmed to think how ESPN or NFLN thinks... Its about thinking how YOU would improve the team.. right now, I'd take my chances with the guys on defense coming back from injury...adding a few depth guys while adding a young threat on offense

I appreciate your work, Czar, and I usually like your preview videos but I can't say I like this mock at all. And not only for our team. Besides the obvious opinions that have already been voiced (Floyd, Jeffery, Burfict) I don't really like Randle to the Texans (I think they'd pick Wright if he's available before Randle), I think Richardson goes too late (I think the Jets would jump on him if he's there when they pick, not to mention the Bengals with one of their picks). I do like a couple of picks (besides the obvious first few), I like Perry to the Chargers, Upshaw to the Cards, Brown to the Eagles (but I think Kuechley might be available when they pick and they take him). And about the Bears pick, I know they have a new offensive coordinator, but how would that make them look, to trade their 1st round TE for a 3rd round pick, then pick another 1st round TE the next draft.

While I'm not sure that's the direction Carolina will go, Floyd and Wright are ahead of Jeffery as prospects and are ranked as a borderline top 15 guys. (hell, most places have Sanu rated higher then Jeffery. Also some possibility that Jones makes a push into the first round, which would push Jeffery down even further.)

This year's draft is heavy offensively at the top with 2 QB's, 3 WR's, 3 OT's, 1 G and 1 RB rated in the top 15.

    • I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages. The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago).  I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.
