Greg Cosell Has Matt Kalil Falling To #13


Recommended Posts

I think of the four mock drafts listed this one is by far the worst but for the fun would Carolina pass on drafting the brother of our All Pro center Ryan Kalil?

These two young men were raised as linemen. (cant find the article)

If Matt makes it to Carolina he won't make it to Buffalo.

This has been discussed ad nauseum. He said as a precursor to this mock that it was based solely on talent from watching tape, and had zero to do with team need or off field issues. This isn't even truly a mock per se, it's a list of the 32 best guys, in order, from his breakdown of tape. So argue if you'd like about why he thinks Gilmore's tape shows more than Claiborne's (I'll save you time, he thinks Gilmore can play inside and outside both sides), but don't argue about how it is the worst mock because of who is going to who. If we had the #1 pick, he would have still 'mocked' RG3 to us in this scenario, regardless of how outrageous it would actually be. Hell, Indy has come out and confirmed they are taking Luck, yet he is still mocked 2nd overall, based on Cosell's unbiased review of tape.

So no, it's not a horrible mock if you comprehend what he is trying to do with it, which he clearly has laid out.

    • OL then RB would make heads explode but its might not be too unlikely 
    • Wonder if we draft a RB. Seems like a lot of eggs in Brooks’ basket right now.  And the OL, no kidding. If that running game goes to hell with what we have at QB, you can forget competing. It is so much more important than sticking another wideout on the field. Take your wideout later. 
    • I have lots of different thoughts on it. This argument, the primary thing is I don’t like seeing him or anyone, being convicted on hearsay and/or pure speculation. Which some are doing.  I don’t care That much about defending Morgan as I do about the criticism being fair minded.    You sort of assert that Dan was just a yes man. I don’t think we know if he ever pushed back against Fitterer but I have this instinct thing that needs me to satisfy the question of: if Tepper was so down on a Fitterer as to fire him, why in the world would he hire his carbon copy? I guess maybe he wanted a yes man.Like I said, lots of different thoughts.     I am just not gonna judge him that harshly based only on speculation. I am sticking with what he has done starting when he was hired as GM. Maybe I am more lenient because the first season for him and Canales, I gave both a pass. Said I would judge them after the first year. Stuck to it. If you can get to the reality that neither were ready for the job and say okay give them a year get their feet wet, it looks a lot better.    And we are not bound to Bryce yet. Yes, for yet another fuging year he can probably marginally improve and slide by like he has been doing. But if they add even more people and he regresses? I think we could see some relief.    The QB room? As I understand it, Pickett was Canales’ choice. If we need to blame people for poo. In a sense, he is very Bryce like. So makes a good plug in. I get that a little bit. We still have the draft. If they do better than Jake Plummer or Hooker I’ll know they are trying.
