Sammy gonna get paid.

Fixed...?

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I know, I know....Aaron Donald too low. But man it's hard to slot (predominantly) 4-3 DT's these days.

 

[deadlyrange0321]

I think Donald makes a lot of sense for Dallas at 16. I prefer him to Kony Ealy.

Not if they release Demarcus Ware, which is entirely likely.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Bears certainly go D, but I don't think CB is the way they go.

At Safety, Wright and Conte graded out in the bottom 5 of the entire NFL

There's also a possibility that they have virtually no NFL caliber D Lineman going into 2014

Their entire d-backfield is bad and there are a lot of good d-linemen in this draft. Which is why I have them taking one in the 2nd. They could get a quality line starter in the 3rd too.

You don't think you can find a DE at a later juncture? Maybe our opinions of Donald are different. I have him as the clear 2nd best D-lineman. I do agree that he will not fit into every scheme. I can see the argument for a DE, but I think Donald is a stud and it would be a mistake for Dallas to pass him up.

I think you're better off going DE/DT than DT/DE. A lot of these DE's are 'tweeners and fit a little better as 3-4 OLBs than they do 4-3 DEs.

Jennings is a pro bowler, and there's still a chance that Tillman comes back.

My hope is that one of Clinton-Dix or Pryor fall to them.

[Captain Quinoa]

Really like Borland for CLE, though I'm hoping they can get him in the 3rd.

I don't think they would pass on Clowney if there at 4.

Nice job

 

[SF409ers]

30. San Francisco - RaShede Hageman DT Minnesota

Nice work. I would however be very surprised if they draft a DL in the first or second round. Depending on what happens with Whitner a safety could be in play early but I think they take the best CB / WR available with that pick. I actually think they would draft Oline and LB before DL. Of course BPA is always a factor and with the number of picks they have anything could happen. But again I don't see them taking a DL early on in this draft.

 

[Grahamburn]

7. Tampa Bay - Mike Evans WR Texas A&M

I would expect the Bucs to take Mack if this were the scenario, but adding Mike Evans to Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams is fine too. That's some serious size at the WR position.

 

[lod01]

You really screwed over Davante Adams didn't ya.

Yes, that was more of a BPA pick but there is the fact that Justin Smith is getting up there in age.

Mack just seems like an odd fit for Tampa. He'd play the strong side backer position right? He's not a 4-3 DE.

 

[lardonastick]

No RB's in the first 64 picks would be pretty astonishing.

It would be but I can't see more than 2 going with all the talent available at other, more important positions.

Which is where Von Miller plays, who he has been compared with. Miller is faster, but Mack might be better in coverage (I don't think Miller is asked to cover much, why would they?).The classic Tampa Cover 2 didn't blitz much from the LB position, in which case that wouldn't be a good fit. But Lovie may not be locked into that scheme. Mack does seem like an ideal 3-4 OLB (there have also been James Harrison comparisons), but I think his talent and athleticism could transcend scheme. A lot of mocks have him going to 4-3 ATL if they don't take a LT (or trade up for Clowney).

I don't think Les Frazier would know what to do with Mack.

I don't think he fits in Atlanta either.

 

[Bob Magaw]

I'd be very happy with Matthews and HCD, comparable to Robinson and Pryor.

Starting to wonder if they would take Donald instead of a DB at 1.13?

Fearsome Foursome 2.0.

 

[FUBAR]

Love Lewann and Verrett to Tennessee.

Yes, strong side. Rush the passer in nickel.

Good effort, thanks

 

[Donnybrook]

It seems the NFL network scouts are pretty high on Timmy Jernigan. Daniel Jerimiah has him ranked as high as the #6 prospect in his top 50. So it would be difficult to see the Vikings getting him at 40.

It will be interesting to see what the Vikings do in FA. I would think they are going to come out of FA with one (or more) of the following: CB, DE, or DT. That will really change the shape of their first two rounds...

I can't help pointing out where his mock diverges with popular opinion. I don't mean to be a fun hater. I like the fact he has the TEs falling down the draft board.

I still think Amaro is a first rounder but I think 18 is a good spot for Ebron rather than top 10.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I get it about Jernigan but a)this draft is so deep in talent and b)Sharif Floyd was supposed to go top 10 last year but didn't and c) d-tackle is seemingly one step above RB in importance these days.

Of course BPA is always a factor and with the number of picks they have anything could happen. But again I don't see them taking a DL early on in this draft.

Totally disagree, the interior DL had taxi squad guys getting major time due to lack of depth and injuries last year. How many other teams started #83 at DT? The thin DL is a major concern.

Andy, you nailed it. Great 49er draft. Both need and fit of player.

Interesting enough the knock on Floyd was he had short arms for the position. So, of course, I had to look up Jernigan's arm length and sure enough his are slightly shorter than Floyd's. So maybe you are on to something there.

 

[Tanner9919]

thanks for the effort!

Giants taking OT and DT in first two rounds is very interesting..they really need a RB at some point, they can't possibly

start 2014 with Brown and Wilson..perhaps they sign Moreno, who would be a perfect fit for the Giants offense..

where do you see Tre Mason going,and to which team? I think he's the top RB in this draft , and it's not even close..

he bulldozed the SEC and was the best player on the field in the BCS Championship Game..

 

[Slapdash]

Can't see Miami drafting another Standord OL...

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

I would love if Clowney fell to Oakland. I can't see it happening though.

 

[Spike]

Aaron Donald in the 1st and Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the 2nd to the Pats?

Sign me up for that!

 

[Village Idiot]

Really like Borland for CLE, though I'm hoping they can get him in the 3rd.

I don't think they would pass on Clowney if there at 4.

Nice job

Clowney works for Pettine's defense but, I'd rather have Watkins there and if they can get Borland in the 3rd, go O line in the 2nd round.

Andy, you nailed it. Great 49er draft. Both need and fit of player.

And if after his 2nd knee surgery Tank Carradine can live up to his potential, then the 49ers defense could be even more formidable.

thanks for the effort!

RBs are so tough to project these days, aren't they? And even though Mason is super fun to watch, he's just a tad undersized to be a full time back. But how many teams aren't going with RBBC these days?

What if the Browns loaded up on offense with their first three picks? - Watkins, Carr, Mason in this example. That might be fun.

If they don't re-sign CJ, Tennessee would be a great option.

He'd also be welcome in Miami and New York (to either team).

If he makes it to the 3rd, I don't think he'd last past the Vikings pick as they're not going to re-sign Toby Gerhart and have nothing beyond him.

Can't see Miami drafting another Standord OL...

I can't see that making any difference whatsoever.

I would love if Clowney fell to Oakland. I can't see it happening though.

Obviously he can go anywhere in the first five picks. The likeliest scenario is Atlanta trading up for him.

I could see Cleveland passing on him. It's a scenario not unlike St. Louis. If the Browns go 4-3 then they play Sheard and Mingo at the DE spots. Not exactly the same, I know, since Quinn/Long is probably the best 1/2 DE combo in the league, but it's similar enough and the Browns have enough holes that they could skip on Clowney.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

I really don't like Benjamin as a 1st rounder. He kind of reminds me of former Buffalo pick James Hardy when he came out of Indiana.

 

[Grahamburn]

I really don't like Benjamin as a 1st rounder. He kind of reminds me of former Buffalo pick James Hardy when he came out of Indiana.

He did not look good to me at the combine. He isn't fluid. When watching his highlights he rarely high points the ball, which really negates his size advantage.

Obviously he could improve, but I think he's a 2-3 year project at the NFL level.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Don't see Pittsburgh going OLB in the first, not with some of the other talent still on the board for them (ealy, ebron, dennard, nix)

I think Donald makes a lot of sense for Dallas at 16. I prefer him to Kony Ealy.

Not if they release Demarcus Ware, which is entirely likely.

Andy, I disagree. Having played with a lot of mocks, I understand what you're saying. But the problem is that Ealy does not have the same level grade as Donald from what I can gather, especially for the scheme. There are way, way too many questions about Ealy to push him over the almost sure thing in Donald. If the board fell differently, I can see them going OL in round one (Zach Martin) or one of the safeties.

Further, there are a lot of DEs who should/could be around in the 2nd. Crichton, Chris Smith, Marcus Smith, to name several. Further, one could understand if Dallas doesn't use both its first 2 picks on DL and goes elsewhere, like OL (Yankey in rd 2 anyone?) or safety.

If you don't want to go Donald at 16, the maybe go Mosley and couple that with a move of Lee to WOLB (its being looked at closely). But then again, with Donald on the board, that doesn't make as much sense either. Bottom line though is that Ealy is much more of a question than Donald. Don't overthink it.

 

[saintfool]

Regarding the Saints: I understand the OLB selection in R1. He's not a rush 'backer and could play in space. But the R2? No way at DE. Hicks and Jordan were pretty damn effective. There is talent in rotation too. I just don't see that as a priority, especially when you look at CB. They just let Greer go and they are really thin at the position as a result. White was injured late in the season. Robinson should be back but he's never shown that he was terribly effective.

The Saints pick got a bit messed up when I had to reshuffle due to Watkins being included twice.

Be that as it may, both those guys - Van Noy and Smith - are OLB's. Ones that I would consider as an upgrade to what's currently there.
