I started kicking around a mock draft and whenever I saw Teddy Bridgewater I ofcourse thought of Simon and Garfunkle and started to put other tunes in with other players and had some fun coming up with this version of a mock draft, the full first round.
The musical mock draft with chosen lyrics per player
1) Houston (2-14) —
Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville, Jr.
‘Like a bridge over troubled waters’ (Bridge over Troubled Waters- Simon and Garfunkle) or ‘I’m ready teddy-teddy to rock n roll’.(Ready Teddy - Little Richard)
Actually Teddy’s frame doesn’t look like its ready to take punishment but his game is ready right now.
2) *TRADE* Atlanta (4-12) from St. Louis (7-9) from Washington (3-13) —
Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina, Jr.
‘I am, I am Superman and I can do anything.‘ (Superman - R.E.M) or ‘Superfreak, superfreakaaaay’ (Super Freak - Rick James)
JD stands 6’6, at 274 lbs and runs a 4.46 forty. He is Superman.
3) Jacksonville (4-12) —
Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M, So.
‘Now when I was a little boy, at the age of five. I had something in my pocket. Keep a lot of folks alive. Now I’m a man, made twenty-one. You know baby, we can have a lot of fun. I’m a man, I spell M A N man… ‘ (I’m a Man - Bo Diddley)
Johny Football is gonna have a lot of fun no matter where he goes.
4) Cleveland (4-12) —
Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M, Sr.
‘Making a living the old, hard way. Taking and giving my day by day. I dig the snow and the rain and the bright sunshine. I’m draggin’ the line … draggin’ the line (Draggin’ the Line - Tommy James and the Shondels)
Browns pass on a QB for an OT who has HOF blood lines. Jake allows the Browns to move Mitchell Schwartz inside to OG fixing two problem areas on the O-Line with one pick.
5) Oakland (4-12) —
Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida, So.
‘I‘m on my way to making it, Huh! I‘ve got to make it show yeah, Hey! So much larger than life… Big Time, I‘m on my way I‘m making it, big time, Hu! Big time, I‘ve got make it show yeah, big time… (Big Time - Peter Gabriel)
Blake Bortles is big, 6’4 and 230 lbs and he can make it big time but it will take some time.
6) *TRADE* St. Louis (7-9) from Atlanta (4-12) —
Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn, So.
‘Hey, said my name is called disturbance, I’ll shout and scream, I’ll kill the king, I’ll rail at all his servants. Well what can a poor boy do? Except for sing for a rock n roll band. Cause in sleepy London town, their’s no place for a street fighting man, no…’ (Street Fighting Man - Rolling Stones)
Greg Robinson is massive, 6’5 and 320 lbs and he is a mauler in the run game. He needs some technical work in pass protection but he’ll make an immediate and violent impact in the run game.
7) Tampa Bay (4-12) —
Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA, Sr.
‘Yeah, you really got me now. You got me so I don’t know what I’m doin’, now. Oh yeah, you really got me now. You got me so I can’t sleep at night. You really got me, you really got me, you really got me. (You really got me- The Kinks)
Anthony Barr is really going to get some sacks.
8) Minnesota (5-10-1) —
Derek Carr, QB, Fresno St., Sr.
‘When I met you, I picked you out I shook you up and turned you around, turned you into someone new. Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet, success has been so easy for you.’ (Don’t You Want Me - Human League)
I don’t care if the Vike fans aren’t on-board with this pick because Norv Turner’s offense requires a big strong-armed pocket passer. Carr wouldn’t be the pick here but with Norv there this kid has a legitimate shot to turn into a solid NFL QB.
9) Buffalo (6-10) —
Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo, Sr.
‘Don’t touch me there, anywhere but there. Don’t touch me there, Never--don’t ever…(Don’t Touch Me Theree - The Tubes)
Khalil Mack is a bad man who will bring down NFL quarterbacks in ways they won’t like.
10) Detroit (7-9) —
Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan St., Sr.
‘Riders on the storm. There’s a killer on the road. His brain is squirming like a toad’ (Riders on the Storm - The Doors)
Sorry but the line ‘his brain is squirming like a toad’ may be the all-time best line in any rock n roll song of all-time so make it fit. Daqueze Dennard is the best CB filling a long-term team need.
11) Tennessee (7-9) —
Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson, Jr.
‘Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew? Cover it with choc’late and a miracle or two? The Candy Man, oh the Candy Man can. (The Candy Man - SAMMY Davis Junior)
Sammy doesn’t have the physical dimensions of, Calvin Johnson, or AJ Green, or Julio Jones, but he is the best WR of a deep class. The Titans land the #1 WR they have been seeking.
12) N.Y. Giants (7-9) —
C.J. Mosley, OLB, Alabama, Sr.
‘Boom, boom, boom, boom. I’m gonna shoot you right down. Right off your feet…. (Boom Boom - John Lee Hooker)
I love C.J. Mosley. He comes in with incredible pass protection skills that take other rookie linebackers years to hone.
13) St. Louis (7-9) —
Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M, So.
‘Well I started out, down a dirty road. Started out, all alone. And the sun went down, as I crossed the hill. And the town lit up, the world got still. I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings. Coming down, is the hardest thing.’ (Learning to Fly - Tom Petty)
Mike Evans is going higher in some mock drafts. The Rams make out like Banditos with Greg Robinson AND Mike Evans AND they get extra picks in the Atlanta trade.
14) Chicago (8-8) —
Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame, Jr.
’I get rattled every time we meet, I get rattled even in my sleep. I get rattled baby, over you. I get twisted, I get turned around. I get twisted, and I’m up then down. I get twisted baby, over you.’ (Rattled - Traveling Wilburys)
I won’t lie, I don’t know much about Nix other than he is projected high in many drafts and Chi-Town could use a bruiser on their D-Line so it fits for this mock.
15) Pittsburgh (8-8) —
Stephon Tuitt, DE, Notre Dame, Jr.
’With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound, he pulls the city’s high tension wires down.’ (Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult)
See above and apply it to Pittsburgh.
^Note:
Baltimore and Dallas will flip a coin at the NFL Combine to determine who gets picks 16 and 17. Baltimore is at No. 16 here because the two teams are in alphabetical order.
^16) Baltimore (8-8) ---
Marqise Lee, WR, USC, Jr.
’Na, na, na, na, na. na. na . na, hey hey hey goodbye. (Na, Na, hey - Steam)
Lee was projected as a top-ten pick heading into the season and he hasn’t really done anything to drop this far so the Ravens get a steal.
^17) Dallas (8-8) —
Kony Ealy, DE, Missouri, Jr.
‘Get it on, bang the gong, get it on. You’re built like a car, you’ve got a hub cap diamond start halo. You’re built like a car, oh yeah. (Bang a Gong - T-Rex)
Kony is built like a fine-tuned machine as he stands 6’5 and 275 lbs and he fills a need for the Boys.
18) N.Y. Jets (8-8) —
Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama, Jr.
‘Time, time and again I’ve seen you starin’ out at me. Now, then and again, I wonder what it is that you see. With those angry eyes. Well, I bet you wish you could cut me down with those angry eyes.’ (Angry Eyes - Loggins and Messina)
Steven King wrote Kujo about a maniacal killer dog. Although Kouandjo’s stock has slipped some he is a killer dog on the field and would not only fill a need but add toughness without the locker room bullying.
19) Miami (8-8) —
Zack Martin, OG, Notre Dame, Sr.
’Heavy boots of lead, fills his victims full of dread. Running as fast as they can, Iron Man lives again!’ (Iron Man - Black Sabbath)
Zack Martin was Iron Man with Notre Dame and everyone knows that Miami’s O-Line can use some stability.
20) Arizona (10-6) —
Taylor Lewan, OT, Michigan, Sr.
’Don’t want no speedballs ‘cause I might die trying. Throw me a line, throw me a line. ‘Cause there’s a fat man in the bathtub with the blues. I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan. (Fat Man In The Bathtub - Little Feat)
Arizona could go for a ‘speedball’ WR but they throw their pick to the O-Line and get a fat man who will make the opposition moan.
21) Green Bay (8-7-1) —
Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota, Sr.
‘Hey, man you disrespecting me? Take him out, you gotta keep em separated. Hey, man you talkin’ back to me? Take him out, you gotta keep em separated.’ (Come Out And Play - The Offspring)
Shede is another massive, 6’6 311 lb, bad man. The Pack has been missing the badness on their D-Line, so enters Shede to fill that need.
22) Philadelphia (10-6) —
HaHa Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama, Jr.
‘You took me by surprise, I didn’t realize that you were laughing. Laughing, ‘cause you’re doin’ it to me. Laughing, it ain’t the way it should be. You took away everything I had. You put the hurt on me.’ (Laughing - The Guess Who)
Ha-Ha is going to be putting the hurt on many opponents but the won’t be laughing.
23) Kansas City (11-5) —
Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina, Jr.
‘Ain’t no stoppn’ us now, were on the move. Ain’t no stoppn’ us now, we’ve got the groove.’ (Ain’t No Stoppn’ Us Now - McFadden & Whitehead)
Kelce was drafted last year but Eric Ebron is too good to pass up if he ever would fall this far in the draft. More than a smattering of mocks have him going top-ten so he’s a bargain here.
24) Cincinnati (11-5) —
Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma St., Sr.
‘The times are tough now, just getting tougher. The old world is rough, its just getting rougher. Cover me, come on baby, cover me.’ (Cover Me - Bruce Springsteen)
The Bengals took Dre Kirpatrick two years ago but he was injured and he really struggled last year so they could still use a cover CB.
25) Chargers (9-7) —
Jason Verrett, CB, TCU, Sr.
‘Don’t want no trouble with you and I know I don’t know you don’t owe me but I wish you’d let me ask one favor from you. … Gimme three steps. Gimme three steps mister and you’ll never see me no more.’ (Gimme Three Steps - Lynyrd Skynyrd)
Jason Verrett won’t be giving anyone three steps even is they ask polite.
26) Cleveland (4-12) from Indianapolis (11-5) —
Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida St., So.
‘Got no time for spreadin’ roots, the time has come to be gone…. Ramble on… (Ramble On - Lead Zeppelin)
Kelvin Benjamin is going to be rambling on all over NFL defenses especially with Josh Gordon drawing coverage his way.
27) New Orleans (11-5) —
Scott Crichton, OLB/DE, Oregon St., Jr.
‘Ooh, yeah! All right! We’re jmmin’, I wanna jam it wid you. We’re jamming’, jamming, and I hope you like jammin’ too.’ (Jamming’ -- Bob Marley and the Walers)
The Saints were shown by the Seahawks how effective DBs who can jam and play rough with WRs is so they land a CB of their own to jam-up the opposition.
28) Carolina (12-4) —
Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville, Jr.
‘I want to be your sledgehammer, why don’t you call my name? Oh let me be your sledgehammer.’ (Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel)
The Cats call his name and get their sledgehammer.
29) New England (12-4) —
Jace Amaro, TE, Texas Tech, Jr.
‘Uptown - downtown, no one’s fussy I’m a target.’ (Target - Joe Jackson)
Hernandez is in the crossbar hotel and Gronk’s knee is grunk. New England gets a healthy TE who doesn’t have to hide evidence.
30) San Francisco (12-4) —
Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU, Jr.
’Bad sneakers and a pina colado my friend. Stompin’ on the avenue by Radio City …’ (Bad Sneakers - Steely Dan)
San Francisco has had some bad sneakers stompin’ at old Candlestick at the WR position but Odell could change all of that.
31) Denver (13-3) —
Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee, Jr.
‘You really got a hold on me. I said you really got a hold on me.’ (You Really Got a Hold On Me - Smokey Robinson and the Miracles)
Peyton Manning is holding in there and he needs someone to hold off the pass rush as the Broncos land an OT to do that job.
32) Seattle (13-3) —
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Washington, Jr.
‘Goo-goo, Koo-goo Barabajagal what’s his name now?’ (Barabajagal - Donovan Leitch)
His name is Austin Seferian-Jenkins and he’d be an excellent addition to help boost Seattle’s receiving corps.
