Swag's 2014 Mock Draft V.1


Swaggasaurus

Recommended Posts

I'm glad the college football season has all but wrapped up so that these players have shown us all they have to show in pads. We will see how the underwear changes things up in Indy.

 

FA-

We will sign some of our own guys, Hardy (at least tag him), Ginn, Mitchell. We sign scrapheap/JAG's to fill holes.

 

Onto the draft:

 

 

Round 1- Jason Verrett-CB-TCU -5'10''-176

Hell yeah I want to fix the offense, we all do. But I want an elite talent, a day one starter. I don't value the CB position, never have, Reggie Howard and Terry Cousin say "Hi". However I feel like Verrett is a sure thing and BPA. Verrett fits our scheme perfectly with his ability to watch the QB and drive on the ball. Verrett is a bona-fide ballhawk with 8 picks and 30 pass breakups in the last two years. He is also aggressive in run support, a must have for me in a CB. I didn't go with WR here because I feel like outside of the first two guys, they have some question marks.

 

Round 2-Donte Moncrief-WR-Ole Miss-6'2''-225

This guy has it all, size, 4.4 speed, hands, what he doesn't have it what makes him a second rounder. No 1,000 yard season, no QB to throw him the ball. Moncrief is a bit of a diva, all the good ones are though right? He is a good blocker and shows an intense desire for the game.

 

Round 3-Billy Turner-OT-North Dakota State- 6'5''-310

Who? FCS player who dominates his FCS competitors, a big, aggressive lineman. Not a guy Walter and the like are talking about, but they will be. Most people want on OT earlier, and one who plays premier talent. I get that, but for me Turner's mean streak and effort sticks out. It's rare to see an O-lineman with the motor on this guy, his athleticism reminds me a little of Marcus McNeil, it's a risk, but one that I think will work out. Look for him to rise from the abyss into that 2nd tier of OT.

 

Round 4-Richard Rodgers-TE-Cal-6'4''-245

628x471.jpg

 

Rodgers is a guy who has average size, average numbers. He excels in gaining yards after contact and has the skills to be a good, not great player. 608 yards receiving this year on a horrible team, with horrible QB play. Cal is bad, bad. His dad is our special teams coordinator, that aside he is worthy at this spot and we need another tight end.

 

Round 5- Isiah Lewis-S-Michigan State-5'10''-210

We need safety depth at the least. Lewis is a downhill player who comes to the ball instead of waiting for it to get to him. I like that from DB's. Lewis has had 2 picks in each of the last two years, but has a knack for getting his hand in there for deflections. He is a bit undersized at 5'10'' but knows how to tackle low and drop bigger players down to his level.

 

Round 7- Michael Schofield-OT-Michigan-6'6''-305

The guy is a solid RT for the Wolverines. As you can see, he's not a natural knee bender, he needs to gain some weight. A lot of flaws with this guy, but when you watch the game footage you can see that he gets the job done even though it's not pretty. Would be good depth for our line.

 

 

 

Thoughts?

I don't mind the Verrettt pick if "our big-3" of WRs are gone in the first (Robinson, Benjamin, Matthews), because I do believe one of those third-tier WRs will be there like Moncrief. And when I say third tier in this draft, that's usually a second tier in most draft years. We could easily snag a Keenan Allen or Cordarelle Patterson kind of WR this year in the late 2nd.

1. CB listed as 5'10''? He's gonna be eaten by Jimmy Graham, Julio Jones, Vincent Jackson and others. NO.

 

2. FCS player again? In the third round? We might get him in 7th round if he's that good. NO.

 

I like your pick on the 2nd round and that's it.

so you want to draft another captain M with our first round pick. im tired of short corners so ill pass.

 

I like Moncrief in the 2nd but would rather get a solid OT in the 1st

 

CB can wait til 3rd

 

This draft is about making sure the offense is ready for now and the future. Get weapons now and prepare to replace Gross and Smitty at the same time

The top 5 corners in this draft are between 5'10 and 6'0, why? Because that is an average size for corner back. Good luck thinking you will get a 6'2'' CB that can play zone in our scheme. You guys do know our defensive scheme right?????

yea I understand scheme and so do the Saints and the Falcons. if we have 2 5'10 CB there game plan will revolve around jump balls which will be a disadvantage.

 

im not saying we need 6'2 but I definetly want the 6'0

well Cap is 5'8 . Verrett is 5'10, but just Captain 2.0. But a 6'0 guy would be different. Two inches only matters sometimes. Makes sense.

Verrett is no Captain Munnerlyn!!!!

 

The kid is a beast and he's my 2nd best corner in this draft behind Dennard. Verrett is damn physical and will come in on run support. He's also a ball hawker. If he's BPA, I will not mind at all.

 

Do some research before riding a talent like Verrett off. I can name you five legitimate corners standing at 5'10 off the top of my head.

Love, Love, LOVE Jason Verrett. He's the 2nd best corner in this class imo, but really is my favorite. I also had him mocked to us with my first mock. If he's BPA, I'd run away with him. He's Asante Samuel but more physical and a better tackler imo.

 

Love Moncrief in the 2nd.

 

Dont really like Turner in the 3rd, bc imo its a huge reach. Almost like the Kugbila pick.

 

Love Lewis and Schofield to end the draft.

Tell me what corner other than Talib (this season) had not been eaten alive by Graham.

Just off the top of my head, Ty Law, Asante Samuel, Revis, Joe Haden, and Tramon Williams are all around 5'10-5'11.

This draft is going to be heavy on OT early. I feel that both a&m guys, Robinson, Lewan, and Erving go before us in round 1. I think we could get Tiny Richardson, but I don't think he hangs with NFL speed. Cyrus has those same question marks. Yankey, Martin, those guys are overrated and likely off the board by our round 2. Hurst, Juwan James, and Mewhort go before we pick in 3. If they don't those would be easy choices for round 3.

The reason that Tampa is probably going to part ways with Reavis is that they are going to play the Tampa two zone under Lovie and you don't need a big time shut down corner to play that system ($$$).  If we are playing the zone, then would we need to spend a first rounder on a shutdown corner?  Or one that thinks he is?

 

Don't think the kid is bad at all, but with our D, we need to spend the money with our front seven.  Just my opinion.

 

Find a very quick guy in the third and plug him in the rotation with all the youngsters we have right now

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
