I'm a big fan of the Draft so I am always keeping up with prospects and the next year draft. This is for the guys like me that are a big fan of the Draft.

Charlie Campbell's Mock

He have us picking no.12 overall, but it's a pretty good draft imo.

 

(2014 Needs: WR, CB, OT, SS, OLB)
 

(12) Louchiez Purifoy, CB Florida
(I hate to see that he have us passing on Sammy Watkins (13: Colts), but I'm not upset with this pick)

 

"Purifoy has displayed some man-coverage skills to be a good cornerback. The 6-foot-1, 189-pounder has an elite combination of size and speed to be a potential man corner in the NFL. He is also extremely physical and plays with a swagger.

Purifoy had a breakout season in 2012, recording 51 tackles, five passes broken up and three forced fumbles. The Gators' defensive scheme largely left him on an island in man coverage, yet he maintained good defense. The sophomore was also excellent on special teams. Purifoy was a backup corner and special teams contributor in 2011. The freshman chipped in 27 tackles and a forced fumbles, too.

Purifoy is so fast and such a dangerous play-maker that the Gators are planning on playing him on offense at wide receiver as well as at cornerback in 2013. Florida says he will play more corner than anything, but if the Gators' young receivers don't step up, Purifoy will be prepared to for double duty." - Charlie

 

 

(44) Jordan Matthews, WR Vanderbilt

(I'm a big fan or Matthews. It would be a big surprise for me to see us grabbing him in next year 2nd. He would fill one of our biggest need next year and would be a nice target for Cam toward the future)

 

"Carolina lands its long-term No. 1 receiver for Cam Newton.

Matthews (6-3, 200) was excellent for the Commodores in 2012, making 94 receptions for 1,323 yards and eight touchdowns. He contributed to Vanderbilt almost upsetting South Carolina in the season opener. The junior showed nice quickness with a 78-yard touchdown on his way to eight total receptions for 148 yards and the score.

Matthews also played well against Florida with eight catches for 131 yards and a touchdown. He finished the regular season strongly, going over 100 yards against Ole Miss, Tennessee and Missouri.

Matthews totaled 41 receptions for 778 yards and five touchdowns as a sophomore in 2011. He has a nice combination of size and speed." - Charlie

I'd be upset if we missed/passed on Watkins, but mah gawd, Purifoy is a man. He has the talent to be better than every cornerback that has come out in the last five years. Better than Peterson, Claiborne, Kirkpatrick, all of them. He's on-par with Sherman as far as skill level goes, and might even be better.

if that's the case, he won't be there when we pick.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
