Re: 2015 draft??

lets see if the draft was today we would be picking 11 and the way injuries are piling up who knows. right now our best defense might just be a running game. so lets see odds are WR Kevin White wins out. praying for Brandon Scherff, OT, Iowa but if we pick this high i wish we would trade down, get picks and go with Benardrick McKinney. Yet again another BUT this is the saints we are talking about. But i am doing it

1 - 20 - Benardrick McKinney ILB Miss. St
Go with the freak and see what they do with him inside or outside. odds are outside and pray they do not screw up yet another LB

***Trade result *****

2a - Kevin Johnson CB Wake Forest
Also one of the top 3 man cover CB.

2b - Jake Fisher, ROT Oregon
Say hello to the new ROT for the NFL to stop the dual speed rushers out to stop the pass happy rules that are the CFL oppsss sorry NFL. size athletic and solid all around blocker.

3c - Hroniss Grasu, C, Oregon - experience in a fast-paced zone based offense.

********

4- 107 - Vince Mayle WR Washington State
Here is a nice basketball to WR project player. good speed but solid quickness and hopes. big improvements all around this year with the kid

5- 139 - A.J. Johnson ILB Tennesse
how far does he drop and is he the next ILB to fall out of the draft?

6- 171 - ?
7-203 - ?

Jake Smith OG/OC Louisville
Tech sound can play all three inside positions. Boring pick but i like these type picks. nothing wrong with a solid swing man on the inside

Maurice Falls OLB East Craolina
what freaks rise and what player drops like a rock? Right now he is dropping like a rock. lets see if he can recover from preseason over hype. he is a freak, 6' 3" 247 4.47 ???? say what? vertical 36" squat 645 and bench press 425 pounds. does he have what it takes upstairs to become a OLB in the NFL?

Couple of players i really like and fight with needs over talent are

Jeremy Langford, RB Michigan St. - best blocking back in the country
Laken Tomlinson, OG, Duke - this kid is all about massive upside,

Fanspeak's On the Clock NFL Mock Draft Simulator

My 7 round draft results

Round 1: Vic Beasley - OLB - Clemson
- stud at a position of need, that's all

Round 2: Denzel Perrymen - ILB - Miami
- arguably the top ILB in this draft. Kid is good, plus he has a pedigree from Miami including Ray Lewis. Jon VIima, DJ Williams, Dan Morgan, Jon Beason, etc. AND ILB is another position of need

Round 3: Rashad Greene - WR - Florida State
- another solid WR, runs precise routes, has good hands. Maybe not be 6'4 like people want these days, but he can straight ball. Plus we've seen the decline of Colston and the end of Meachem. A trio of Cooks, Stills and Greene would be nice to have, plus a 6'6 Coleman if the light bulb turns on and he figures out how to catch the ball

Round 4: Kevin Johnson - CB - Wake Forrest
- smaller school for D1 big boys. Last two seasons has had 25 PBUs and 6 INTs. Read some nice things and figured in the 4th, he'd be a good pick and it's an area of need for us

Round 5: Tyrus Thompson - OT - Oklahoma
- we NEED depth at OT, as we've seen behind Strief is a revolving door named Bryce Harris

Round 6: Miles Dieffenhach - OG - Penn State
- has an ACL tear and is out for the season, but prior to that was considered a possible 1st day, early 2nd day pick.

Round 7: David Cobb - RB - Minnesota
- currently the #8 ranked RB in college football in terms of rushing yards from scrimmage with 1350 and a 5.3 YPC average. Also has 11 TDs and there's still a couple games to play.
I'm iffy on taking any offensive player from the Big Ten unless its Ohio State(I was critical before but appears there's a big difference between Meyer and Tressel) or Michigan State. Three of first four I like especially 4 after today's scoreless 4 quarters in the VT/WF game, I would say that could be a gold mine for getting some defensive guys. The receiver I was more thinking of is Langford. Also, I think Rob Smith could be a decent pick for CB. He plays for Arkansas and anyone who can light up a game in the SEC has to be considered.

Armstead was from a division II school so maybe we should look for another OT from one of those schools? As for RB, Mike Davis is my pick he'll probably be behind Yeldon and Gordon in RB ranks.

Earlier I posted I wouldn't take a NT in the first and then I posted the above list which was done prematurely, before my final edit (which is why I shouldn't post when I'm call in the middle of the night at the office)...

Meant to post this as a Trade Back Alternative...

Round 1 - Trade Back

Round 2 - NT Malcolm Brown, Texas (Jr); 6' 4", 325lbs

Round 2 - LB Jake Ryan, Michigan (Sr); 6' 3", 235 lbs

Round 3 - FS Kurtis Drummond, Michigan St (Sr); 6' 1", 200 lbs

Round 3 - OG Jarvis Harrison, Texas A & M (Sr); 6' 3", 325 lbs

Round 4 - LB A. J. Johnson, Tennessee (Sr); 6' 2", 242 lbs

Round 5 - OL B. J. Finney, Kansas (Sr); 6' 4", 303 lbs

Round 6 - DE Henry Anderson, Stanford (Sr); 6' 7", 295 lbs

Round 7 - OL Eric Lefeld, Cincinnati, (Sr); 6' 6", 315 lbs

At the end of the day, we've got to get better, younger, faster stronger, affordable personnel on the offensive line and and in the defensive front seven, and really up the middle; and we're gonna need more than seven picks to get it started...

Have had serious doubts about the Jarius Byrd signing with regards to health and I don't see that changing...

Don't list a CB because rather see us sign a proven, healthy veteran as we did with Lewis to complement same...

Gotta feeling Loomis will end up re-signing Roll Tide, so that's why I didn't list a RB, which I believe should be taken in later rounds if we did so...

Bunkley looks done, so NT to rotate with Jenkins, who I think is still injured, would do wonders to shore up the front...

We need some depth at DE, especially with Hicks possibly leaving soon...

See I can not go there. Talent wise this is a draft that looks really to good at CB almost through the third. If we do not get a CB early i give up on this front office

I see up to maybe 6 solid man cover CB in this draft with some solid zone and hyped upside types mixed in to spread these players out all over the board. To get a better prospect than SJB was last year would be a huge mistake.

this is not a year not to go after a solid #2 CB prospect IMO.

should be able to start from day 1 at #2 spot

1-2
Trae Waynes
P.J. Williams
Charles Gaines
Kevin Johnson
Marcus Peters

Equal to if not better than SJB coming out of school
3-5
Byron Jones
D’Joun Smith
Kevin White

just to name a few

after CB i have to go RT

No to a LB from the Pac 12. And the OG plays for one of the offensive teams in the SEC but that's worrisome. A&M I don't really consider to be a true SEC team because the team isn't really in SEC territory.
