Alright, here's the first of many to come. No trades mainly due to the fact that i have a hard time drawing up any reasonable ones in my mind.
1. Logan Ryan, CB, Rutgers. He may not be ranked that high now but come April this will be about right. We may not need him considering we may resign talib and possibly get something from ras-i but i couldn't look past his consistently tight coverage.
2. Cobi Hamilton, WR, Arkansas. Big receiver that has pretty good quickness. There are many receivers that i really like, some even received first round considerations in this mock, but hamilton seemed like pretty good value at this spot. I wanted a receiver that had size and speed so i gave a lot of thought to da rick rogers as well but his perceived character flags did him in.
3. Sean Porter, LB, Texas A&M. I believe he is the coverage lb I have coveted for years. Not quite as good as past binkies such as sean weatherspoon and lavonte david, but he'll do. He is very athletic and I have even seen him on multiple occasions effectively cover the slot.
7. Baker Steinkuhler, DT, Nebraska. Offers very little pass rush but is an active run defender. I like that he is the one that often tackles the running back and not the lbs behind him. Im hoping that we could fatten him up and turn him into something similar to randy starks.
7. Elvis Fisher, OT, Mizz. A developmental OT. He can't stay healthy and this late in the draft im just trying to find anyone that could make the squad. I could easily go for one of those former tight ends that this board is so good at identifying instead.
An Alternative draft would have us going quality over quantity and using our picks for 2 players. Jonathan Hankins and Justin Hunter. Ideally, they would turn into wilfork and aj green.
At some point i will borrow someones trade downs and come up with something that feature quantity over quality instead. Hope you guys like.
Mayo, what do you think of my first attempt on page 37?
All attempts right now are throwing darts. I'm hardly the arbiter of mock draft quality. Logan Ryan seems a tad high at the moment, but he could rise. Sean Porter's an interesting pick. None of the guys are one my personal short list, but that doesn't mean anything.
