Greg Cosell's Mock Draft

[UNCrules2187]

Some interesting decisions here. Note that this isn't how he thinks the draft WILL play out, it's who he would pick IF HE WAS THE GM of that team.

Here it is – my first mock draft. A moment I will savor forever. Here’s how I am doing it: I will choose players based on my film study and my sense of team needs. I have no idea what different teams draft boards look like, nor will I try to speculate what a team might be thinking. The main objective of my mock is to further discuss the top players by putting them in a draft format. One other caveat: I am disregarding documented off-field problems, character issues, anything that is not a function of on-field play. I understand that teams significantly factor that into the equation, but I am solely basing my player evaluations on what’s on the tape. That’s what I do. I watch tape.

Cosell has both Gilmore and Jenkins as rated higher than Claiborne. He thinks the Panthers would do well to take Floyd, the idea being make one side of the ball explosive while gradually building up the defense. I wouldn't be opposed to that strategy - it's essentially the Patriots' philosophy. Your defense may not be that great, but hey, when you're scoring 30+ ppg, you don't need a shutdown defense.

It sure is interesting.

Also interesting to note that Cosell doesn't believe Coples is a first round talent.

[HeatCheck]

He is essentially just selecting off teams needs but putting his best players at those respective spots. It's interesting but it won't happen. He even said it's based off his one personal studies.

[Ruff]

It sure is interesting.

Interesting was definitely the first word that came to my mind as well.

[panther4life]

I'm officially A okay with selecting Gilmore now after reading that

[PantherBrew]

This really makes me want Janoris Jenkins in the 2nd.

This really makes me want Janoris Jenkins in the 2nd.

Is gladly take him in the first and believe we'd have to if we want him ...no way he falls to 2nd

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Yeah he had Jenkins at #5 and Cox at #6. If we land both of those players I'd be ecstatic.

He called Cox the best DLineman in the draft.

Just a note, Coples wasn't even there in the 1st and Brockers went 31st.

Slowly losing respect for Cosell opinion.

this guy is fuqing high

[Panthro]

It's interesting that he went straight off of gametape when he mocked these players. It's not crazy or wacky just because it doesn't fit with what we've seen. I mean he explained it from the get go.

[PantherBrew]

Its not that crazy to think he could be right on some accounts.

I mean, its not like every year the top 10 draft picks turn into All-pro players.

Or even top 5.

He watches a lot of film. So he isn't pulling this from air.

[GotSwag?]

If I were high or drunk, that mock would make sense.
