Love it or Hate it – Mock Draft

Mock draft competition! I will not looooose! This is my expert opinion on how things will play out.

  1. Carolina Panthers – Patrick Peterson – CB – I have a hard time believing these QB’s will be rated this highly. I think they give the current crop of QB’s one more year to sort themselves out.
  2. Denver Tebows – Marcell Dareus – DE/DT – Switching back to a 4-3 defense requires some retooling. They don’t need a receiver and won’t take a QB.
  3. Buffalo Bills – Nick Fairley – DT/DE – Good player that gives them some schematic versatility.
  4. Cincinnati Bungles – Blaine Gabbert – QB – Carson Palmer is no longer in town and won’t come back. Little Palmer is not the answer.
  5. Arizona Cardinals – Von Miller – OLB – Great rush backer. Fits into the 3-4 here.
  6. Cleveland Browns – AJ Green – WR – It just makes too much sense. They give McCoy another target to throw to.
  7. San Fransisco 49ers – Robert Quinn – DE/OLB – Helps to improve a decent 49ers D.
  8. Tennessee Flaming Tacks – Cam Newton – QB – The Titans owner loves him some athletic QB. Sorry Rusty.
  9. Dallas Cowgirls – Prince Amukamara – CB – That secondary was atrocious last year. This helps fix it.
  10. Washington Redskins – Julio Jones – WR – The team doesn’t really have an offensive playmaker at the WR position.
  11. Houston Tinhorns – JJ Watt – DE – This is another team in a defensive transition and it will be looking for LBs and DL that fit the 3-4. Watt fits in as a 3-4 DE.
  12. Minnesota Vikings – Jake Locker – QB – It makes too much sense to not be this.
  13. Detroit Lions – Tyron Smith – T – Arguably the best OT out there. The Lions finally decide to invest in a protection plan for Stafford.
  14. St. Louis Rams – Mike Pouncey – G – The Rams decide to protect their investment.
  15. Miami Dolphins – Mark Ingram – The players they actually wanted are no longer here. Ingram is the new starting RB as they let the other vets test free agency.And now for a little suspense…
  16. Jacksonville Jaguars – Colin Kaepernick – QB – His stock is climbing, he has all the intangibles you look for, the triangle numbers, the arm strength, the decision making. ALTERNATIVES – Cam Jordan, Jake Locker, Christian Ponder, Ryan Kerrigan, Prince Amukamara
  17. New England Patriots – Cam Jordan – DE – Somehow, the Patriots always get what they want. That young defense gets even younger at its oldest position.
  18. San Diego Bolts – Aldon Smith – LB – The Bolts could use more LB’s.
  19. New York Giants – Anthony Costanzo – OT – Giants OL struggled last year.
  20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Da’Quan Bowers – DE – The Bucs are young and ascending. They have a young core of players and look to make the defense stronger. Bowers slips due to injury concerns.
  21. Kansas City Chiefs – Nate Solder – OT – They have a good run game and some decent receivers. Solidify the line and those players get even better.
  22. Indianapolis Dolts – Gabe Carimi – OT – The Colts need some help along the OL. They are getting old and struck out with the last OT pick.
  23. Philadelphia Eagles – Jimmy Smith – CB – The Eagles have a pretty good D and it only gets better with the selection of the talented Jimmy Smith.
  24. New Orleans Saints – Corey Liuget – DL – The Saint’s DL needs to improve.
  25. Seattle Seahawks – Ryan Mallet – QB – Seattle tries to find the heir to the Hasselbeck throne. The Seahawks could also go OL.
  26. Baltimore Ravens – Brandon Harris – CB – The secondary has been a problem for a while now. The Ravens get their man and continue their dominating ways on defense. Aaron Williams could be an option.
  27. Atlanta Falcons – Cameron Heyward – DE – The Falcs could use some defensive upgrades. Hankerson or Ayers could be an option.
  28. New England Patriots – Adrian Clayborne – DE – The Patriots get another DL to help solidify that defense.
  29. Chicago Bears – Derrick Sherrod – OT – The Bears OL sucks. Plain and simple.
  30. New York Jets – Brooks Reed – OLB – The Jets have some holes on offense (WR) and defense (Rush LB).
  31. Pittsburgh Steelers – Phil Taylor – NT –  The Steelers need help on the OL and in the secondary. The DL is also getting old.
  32. Green Bay Packers – Justin Houston – OLB – The SB Champs grab another pass rusher to pair with Matthews.
