Shark Pool Mock Draft - V1.0. (1 Viewer)

[Enforcer]

I am absolutely in for three rounds.

Me three

 

[travdogg]

Am I wrong in thinking the Chiefs would give some serious thought to Josh Freeman right here?

 

[Ariakis]

The Chiefs either take a QB in the first, try to get away with 2.03 for Cassel, or don't really look at a QB. They have enough young lower round draft choice QB's to choose from already and too many other needs.

I'm just reading this thread for the first time and catching up ... focusing on the Chiefs I guess. At 1.03 they would be hoping to capitalize on Crabtree hype to trade down. You can't go wrong with Curry ... a huge need ... but without a HC in place it's hard to get a strong feel. That said, I'd be tempted to say Monroe at 1.03. Had they gotten to trade down, they take whichever of the big 4 OT's are left and/or the PBA at DE/LB.

I could see them going QB at 1.03 ... but I suspect Thigpen will get the job plus a veteran reserve and Croyle for competition. I saw a stat that Cassel spent 73% of his time in shot-gun last season. Something to think about if they upgrade the talent around Thigpen. Another reason for the "pistol offense" was the lack of talent at OL getting their QB's killed.

Freeman ... hard to say until the HC is in place and the combines. I think Thigpen has done enough to earn a real shot and if you draft a young QB you don't have a spot fora veteran "teacher". That said, he's got the upside to be a huge suprise a la Brees around this spot a few years ago.

 

[Blackjacks]

I know his stock has ben dropping alot but I'd like to see the Chiefs select:

Michael Johnson DE Georgia Tech

He can rush the passer and KC can't do that right now.

I do think Johnson's stock might raise a little bit to put him around here at the combine.

You can't teach 6'7" 265 lbs that runs the forty in 4.65 seconds

 

[awesomeness]

i could see the Cheifs taking Kurger or Michael Johnson here.

 

[Wadsworth]

I don't think there's any rush until the next drafter is around, which might be tomorrow.

I would think a pass rusher would be a good call, but beyond that I don't know much about KC. RB if LJ leaves?

 

[Enforcer]

I don't think there's any rush until the next drafter is around, which might be tomorrow.

I'm the next drafter. I'm ready. I have my write up complete.

 

[stevegamer]

KC needs an OL badly, I think I'd go that route to tray and capitalize on the young offensive skill position players nad better evaluate what they have.

 

[awesomeness]

The Chiefs either take a QB in the first, try to get away with 2.03 for Cassel,

I think this is more then reasonable for all interested parties, provided Brady is on the way to being ready for preseason.As such I think a CB is a real consideration. Darius Butler perhaps. UConns team captain with solid speed.

The cheifs drafted Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr last year as CBs, and both of them played well for rookies. I highly doubt the Cheifs spend an early pick on a corner considering there starting 2 CBs are sophomores.

 

[Wadsworth]

I say wait and let AD make the call, it is his draft. Enforcer if don't want to check in later, go ahead and post your pick. AD can pick around it or disallow it if he wants, but it saves you from having to check back.

Unless your pick is my guy, then it's disallowed and you are booted!

This sounds like a good plan. I have no doubt that I'm not taking the guy that AndyD would suggest for KC. I'm sort of expecting to hear some boos because some will call my pick a reach.I will be awake for at least another hour or two. I will check back before I crash to see where we're at.

1.31 Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU

Sorry it took so long fellas. I dont know if I would have went with McCoy even if he was here. After passing up a bunch of solid RB prospects last year, it seems as if the coaching staff likes to sit on that position and snag a guy they like a few rounds later. But grabbing that speedy back is definitely a neccesity. I wanted to go corner, but I'm not too sold on DJ Moore or Alphonso Smith. Both seem a bit undersized. Rod Hood got toasted quite a few times, and while he is an adequate starting corner, I think the Cards do go after a young CB at some point in this draft that they will lineup to take Hood's spot in a year or 2. But I went with Jackson. Berry isn't getting any younger, Antonio Smith is going to want the big bucks. They have a few young guns playing some back-up roles, but I think adding Jackson here would be a great move.

This is a no brainer IMO as well. Berry and Chike are getting up there in age, so the run stuffing ability of T. Jackson should be a perfect fit in our hybrid 3-4. Unger has also moved up the boards, and K. Sendeline isn't exactly a top line center, so I could maybe see them going that route, but defense is the higher priority with this pick, and with the top rated DE on the board, T. Jackson is the pick here.

 

[Enforcer]

Gonna Crash. I will send my pick to Andy D via PM.

 

[Wadsworth]

I think the second round order in the original post is incorrect. I'm pretty sure the Jags have pick #39.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Pick 35 (2.03) - Kansas City - Paul Kruger, DE - Utah

He's a player that I'm just learning more about, but the more I learn the more I like. He's a bit older after going on a mission for two years, but he appears to really be growing into a pass rusher mold.

Between Curry and Kruger, it's a great start to rebuilding the defense. The only concern I have here is accuracy as I'm unsure if Pioli wants to do a 4-3 or 3-4.

I also considered a WR.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Seattle is expected by most to be selecting WR Michael Crabtree in the first round at 1.04. I tried my best to give a detailed argument as to why I think its not the right move for this team, and also why I think Crabtree isn't worthy of a top four pick in the draft.

So....

With the fourth pick in the second round (2.04), Seattle selects WR Kenny Britt, Rutgers.

Positives: Britt is an early entry monster at 6'4" and plays physically. He punishes DBs with his size and strength. However, what I like best about Britt is the thing that makes him similar to Crabtree. He's got wonderful hands, always catching the ball away from his body. He rarely suffers a drop. If you watch this clip from YouTube you'll see him making several receptions and taking big hits, often bouncing off and keeping his feet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgDknAYE_Vo

He can make a reception in traffic with guys hanging off him. I've read in more than one place that he excels at jump balls in the red zone, but I have to admit that I haven't seen footage of it yet. Britt should step into the SE position nicely in the WCO.

Negatives: Straight line speed. He's not a deep burner and won't being beating safeties over the top. If he posts a big time at the combine his stock will soar. Effort and desire are in question. Britt is just a kid. He won't be 21 yet when the draft rolls around.

Final comment: Too early to be taking Britt? Perhaps, but I had two players targeted here (other was Moore), and I don't think Britt will be around at the start of the third round so I'm forced to take him here. Trading down would be optimal, but we don't have that option given the format. I understand that most rankings have Britt being taken late second or even early third, but that's someone else's rankings. I feel the potential that Britt has flashed makes him worth the risk and I won't be surprised if years from now we look back and realize Britt was the real deal (otherwise I wouldn't make the pick). D Williams from Penn State? Nicks from UNC? Pass. Britt is my guy.

Another thought... I've been doing a lot of research on players for this mock. I amazed that several different rankings have such divergent comments on the same player. I saw comments suggesting Britt had great hands, and than he had horribly inconsistent hands. Ugh. I can't stress enough that people need to find video to watch and decide for themselves when evaluating players. Don't settle for reading some guys write up on JoeShmoe.com.

Sorry guys, didn't realize things got hung up there.

Also, I'm out for a field trip with my daughter all day tomorrow. Be excellent to each other.

Going the WR route with this pick, i would have expected the Seahawks to take Nicks. Nicks style is very similar to that of Crabtree, and Crabtree's talent level when compared to Nicks is perceived to be a lot higher than it really it is. I also think Nicks is the more ideal guy for a WCO. Having said that, i still think Britt is going to be a good WR. I can't remember a time when the Seahawks had a big receiver who they could just throw the ball up and have the WR come down with it. Hasselbeck was pretty successful at throwing a fade route to Hackett back when he was on the team, and Britt is 2 inches taller. I like the pick, but think Nicks would have been a slightly better one.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

You know... you didnt put in the changes to teams with equal records right?Not a big deal, but I think I posted the order on page 1 for the second round.

My bad. Fixed. Browns got skipped. Hopefully they weren't thinking WR.

No we're good.....just got in to work...give me 10 minutes and I'll post up my pick

 

[eric rymer]

This was a very tough pick for me. I see 4 guys who I really like here. Shonn Greene is extremely tempting. Lewis is not going to play forever and I think they are pretty similar backs. Greene could be groomed to be his replacement in the next two seasons.

Fila Moala @ 6-4 303 and Michael Johnson @ 6-7 258 were also considerations here. I would love to add some beef and attitude to the line to help Shaun Rogers out. As mentioned in my previous pick, our pass rush is just God awful and we can use all the help we can get.

I also seriously considered Sean Smith. At 6-3 210 he is big and just fast enough. He played CB and Safety at Utah and is a very versatile player. Holly is coming off a season ending injury and is a UFA. Sean Jones is also a UFA.

With that said, I cannot pass up the best player on my board.

At 2.05 the Cleveland Browns select :

DJ Moore, CB- Vanderbilt

To me a good pass rush can be accomplished in a couple ways. Getting pressure on the QB with your front 7 and having corners that can cover. Further review has really made me go sour on Mcdonald. He tends to run with the play instead of attacking it. Selecting Moore to go with Orakpo should help out in both areas. Enjoy

Terrible pick. Huge reach! The guys is a bum!I mean... I have DJ Moore with a solid first round grade and was really hoping he would fall two more picks. He was easily the best player left on my board and there's no way he'd have gotten past pick #39.

2.06 - Cincinnati Bengals - Max Unger, C - Oregon

Ghiaciuc is small and overall... just not good. In a division that's full of huge nose tackles, that's not qualities you want your center to have. Unger played his first two seasons at LT and the last two at C. All-PAC every year. He can't play LT at the pro level but he could play the other 4 spots, and the Bengals like versatile lineman. 6-5 300lbs with the frame to add weight. Good news for Palmer and whoever they line up at RB.

thanks. Most mocks I've seen have him going anywhere from 20-26. I don't see how I could have passed on him.

 

[eric rymer]

I've good for three rounds too Andy. Gives me something to do even though we don't have a 3rd.

The Dolphin contingent is here and will be all day - looking forward to making 2 picks in the 2nd rd.

This is a great, solid pick and definitely fills a need. I must admit, there is a small part of me that was hoping to see some flash here, something different than the norm. It is possible to get a solid C in the 3rd round, and I think I could make a strong case for someone else here in the 2nd. I know, I know, we desperately need to fix the OL, but ST has always been something we lacked and needs to be addressed at some point.

With the 39th pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Jacksonville Jaguars select:

Robert Ayers, DE - Tennessee

The teams drafting at the top of the second round did a good job of eating up the top prospects that fell out of the first round. The Jaguars have many needs and in this spot have the luxury of going pure BAP. Or so I thought. The top guy remaining on my board is William Beatty, a pure left tackle prospect and the Jags went with Jason Smith, another left tackle, in the first round. As bad as the need is at left tackle for the Jags they aren't going LT/LT to start the 2009 draft. So after DJ Moore was so rudely stolen a couple pick earlier, the Jags are left with a handful of players after Beatty at the top of the board with very similar grades.

Sean Smith

Hakeem Nicks

Robert Ayers

Michael Johnson

Jairus Byrd

My thought process went like this. Smith and Byrd would both be CBs for the Jags, Smith has a slightly higher grade but Byrd is a betetr fit for the cover 2 scheme so Smith is out. WR is a position of need, but Hakeem Nicks is not the deep theat burner the Jags need most. Matt Jones did a decent job filling the roll Nicks would play, so Hicks is out. Michael Johnson has huge upside but a questionable motor. Steve Young said the Jaguars were the only team he's ever seen quit on a Monday Night Football game last season. The Jags had big time problems with players with questionable commitment and I can't see adding another under achiever to the mix. Plus Ayers is also a DE and his stock is going up while Johnson's is going down, I'll take the up guy between those two. So it comes down to Byrd and Ayers, Ayers has the higher grade.

Ayers was a bit of late bloomer in college but looks to have his best football in front of him. He was very impressive at the Senior Bowl, winning defensive MVP and looking very good in the pit. He brings strong support in the run game(15.5 TFL) as well as getting after the QB. At 6'3" 275 pounds, he has a shot at being the long time LDE opposite the Jags first round RDE from the 2008 draft, Harvey. Throw in Groves and the Jags have a nice team of young DEs to grow.

Same, excellent pick for our purposes but I don't think he'll slip out of the 1st.

Neither do I. But for the sake of the mock I had to grab him. FWIW, my second choice would have been Shonn Greene and Sean Smith in that order.

I don't know. Isn't that the whole reason for doing this thread? To discuss views on prospects so we can all learn a little more about the players, team needs and draft philosophies. It's not like you can "win" the mock draft by getting players fall to you because no one said anything. I much prefer someone making a pick and explaining the process that went into the selection and why they passed on other guys.

I understand, but I assume you also understand why I mention it. You hate to reward someone for not doing their own research on the team they're picking for or the players being picked. It isn't a fantasy league draft but we're all competitive so you hate to see someone snatch up your guy right before you because of a scouting report he got in an earlier post. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

It isn't a fantasy league draft but we're all competitive so you hate to see someone snatch up your guy right before you because of a scouting report he got in an earlier post. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

think u might be doing this for the wrong reasons if this is what you're worried about.

Can you guys keep the informationto a minimum in your picks please ? Let's try not to educate others on unpicked players. TIA

I don't know. Isn't that the whole reason for doing this thread? To discuss views on prospects so we can all learn a little more about the players, team needs and draft philosophies. It's not like you can "win" the mock draft by getting players fall to you because no one said anything. I much prefer someone making a pick and explaining the process that went into the selection and why they passed on other guys. Keeping the information to a minimum seems completely counter to the reason for doing the thread in the first place.

I agree.I like to hear informed opinions of team needs and players.

Maybe more of problem if this were a 7 round mock, but most of the people on the board and especially those participating in a February pre-combine mock draft are enough of draft geeks where they know the top 75-100 players almost without looking. Think you not giving enough credit to the posters here.

I'm all for talking about the players and their strengths, the teams and their needs.......I don't think what I mentioned turns me into some kind of crochety old man or anything. I'm in this thing to pretend GM for Pats, and attempt to get the best picks possible for my team. I requested a minimum of information, maybe a "relative" minimum would have been more appropriate. If not, I'm not going to be or anything. Carry on.

I'm Bill Belichick damnit.  I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to WIN!

2.06 - Cincinnati Bengals - Max Unger, C - Oregon

Ghiaciuc is small and overall... just not good. In a division that's full of huge nose tackles, that's not qualities you want your center to have. Unger played his first two seasons at LT and the last two at C. All-PAC every year. He can't play LT at the pro level but he could play the other 4 spots, and the Bengals like versatile lineman. 6-5 300lbs with the frame to add weight. Good news for Palmer and whoever they line up at RB.

Where do I start the letter-writing drive to get Kirby installed as new Bengals GM?

All of the NFL teams are going to be more informed than we are. So if we are going for realistic, the more info spit out the better. Great guys dropping would ruin it.

Agreed, Matt Millen isn't around anymore so no need to be stingy with the info (unless of course Matt is one of the guys picking in this mock draft...)-QG
