OOBL's Final Mock

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

1. Detroit Lions - QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia
This deal is almost done. Lions need to get their franchise QB.

2. St. Louis Rams - OT Jason Smith, Baylor
With Pace gone the Rams use a top pick to grab another anchor to their line for the next 10 years.

3. Kansas City Chiefs - DT BJ Rajii, Boston College


4. Seattle Seahawks - OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia


5. Cleveland Browns - LB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest
I don't think you can pass up a player like this here, but who knows this team did pick Tim Couch before.

6. Cincinnati Bengals - OT Andre Smith, Alabama
I initially thought Rajii here....and then DE....but with Carson coming back and still trying to regain confidence after knee surgery they need to bolster this o-line.

7. Oakland Raiders - WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech
Al Davis is not a genius....but I dont think he passes up on Crabtree, regardless of speed, I think his play spoke for itself, and Higgins can be their speed threat.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars - WR Jeremy Maclin, Mizzou
Jags would of liked Andre Smith here, but need a WR pretty bad too.

9. Green Bay Packers - DE Tyson Jackson, LSU
3-4 Defenses needs big guys to act as an anchor, and Green Bay hope Jackson can be a solid player to smooth the transition.

10. San Francisco 49ers - OLB Aaron Maybin, Penn St
Lawson seems to have been a bust, and the 49ers need a pass rush badly.

11. Buffalo Bills - DE Brian Orakpo, Texas
Same story as the 49ers, Buffalo absolutely needs to get pressure on the QB.

12. Denver Broncos - QB Mark Sanchez, USC - I doubt he falls, but w/o trades i see him possibly here

13. Washington Redskins - DE Robert Ayers, Tennessee
Ayers is a great player that has a lot of potential, if the Skins don't go get Sanchez they will be happy to take a pass rusher and bolster their d-line.

14. New Orleans Saints - CB/S Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State
It seems every year we're sitting here saying how Mike Mckenzie is getting older...Tracy Porter looked solid and they could use another defensive back.

15. Houston Texans - DE Everette Brown, Florida St.
Mario Williams jumps up and down for joy with the pick of a DE here. He was being double and triple teamed most of last year, and this can open things up for him.

16. San Diego Chargers - OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss
Shane Olivea never worked out very well, while Oher is a bit inconsistent at times he could become solid and help an already solid team.

17. New York Jets - WR Kenny Britt, Rutgers

18. Denver Broncos - OLB Clay Matthews, USC
With Nate Webster playing decent and DJ Williams being a beast, the Broncos LB core will be looking great with the addition of Matthews.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - QB Josh Freeman, K State

20. Detroit Lions - LB Rey Maualuga, USC
Most have a OT going here, but I think they give their line a bit of time here and a LB core with Sims, Peterson, and Maualuga is a scary thought.

21. Philadelphia Eagles - RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia
I like Wells, but Moreno is more of what the Eagles are looking for, a good pass catcher.

22. Minnesota Vikings - OT Eben Britton, Arizona
The Vikings replace Ryan Cook on the OL with Britton.

23. New England Patriots - LB Brian Cushing, USC
The Patriots love versatile LB's and Cushing is one of them. Losing Vrabel and with Bruschi Aging Cushing could benefit in a great system.

24. Atlanta Falcons - CB Vontae Davis, Illinois

25. Miami Dolphins - CB Darius Butler, Uconn
I like the Dolphins grabbing a fast cover corner with amazing leaping ability.

26. Baltimore Ravens - LB James Laurinaitis, Ohio St.
WR is a sexy pick, but Ozzie always selects the best available player, and Ray Lewis could use somebody new to teach the game, Laurinaitis can help cover the hole Bart Scott left.

27. Indianapolis Colts - DT Evander Hood, Mizzou
I'm still thinking Harvin here, because I think Hood is a bit of a reach, but WR can be addressed in the 2nd.

28. Buffalo Bills - OT William Beaty, Uconn
Why?! Well Peters wasn't going to resign so they traded him, and yes, picked a OT with that draft pick they received.

29. New York Giants - WR Hakeem Nicks, North Carolina
I still think this trade for Braylon may go through, but If not Nicks is the closest to Plaxico that the Giants can get here. Heyward dropping is tempting, but they don't need the burner speed so bad.

30. Tennessee Titans - WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maryland
WR is a need so they could stretch the field so teams will stop loading up the box.

31. Arizona Cardinals - RB Chris Wells, Ohio St.
Wells drops, I like Brown going to Arizona much better, but Wells will be picked in the 1st round.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers - C Max Unger, Oregon
One of the better o-lineman available here, Unger can play center or guard if asked.



I may change a few of these picks before Saturday.

Overall pretty good mock. I am not a big fan of the Patriots pick though. I dont really like Brian Cushing because he was injury prone in college and I believe he could be a bust. I think Larry English would be a better fit for the patriots.

 

[Blick]

The Chiefs aren't going to take a LT when they already have one, and they won't move Albert to left guard when they still have Brian Waters.

 

[Aso]

They can move Albert over to right tackle. Damion MacIntosh is terrible and their offensive line as whole is not very good. I agree with the pick.


Like a lot of your mock too except for Orakpo going after Maybin.

 

[Blick]

They can move Albert over to right tackle. Damion MacIntosh is terrible and their offensive line as whole is not very good. I agree with the pick.

They COULD, but it would be dumb. Albert is a LT, and a good one. Why the fuck would the Chiefs potentially DOWNGRADE at LT in order to get better at a much less valuable position, RT? The draft is loaded with O-linemen. The Chiefs can get a guy better than McIntosh in the 5th fucking round.

It doesn't make long term sense either. Albert will bolt to a team willing to pay him LT money as soon as he hits free agency.

So there gonna take their young talented LT who had a good season by most accounts and dump him at Right tackle??? You do know he will want out of their very quickly right?? Hes talented enough to play left tackle , soon as somebody offers him left tackle money (which is alot more btw) hel be gone.

So basicly you will get a few years of production out of him if that depending on how he takes the news about being moved over then hes gone in FA.

 

[Aso]

If they pay him money that he would deserve then he wouldn't complain. So that wouldn't really be a problem. His versatility would only increase the amount of money a team would pay him not lessen it. He can play both T spots and G spots. When your going to pass as much as they are you need to have a lot of money invested in an offensive line that can protect the quarterback.

So, the Chiefs would pay Albert LT money to play RT? Like I said, DUMB.

EDIT: Also, the Pats gave up 11 more sacks than the Chiefs did last year. I'm not too worried about the Chiefs being able to protect Cassel.

 

[Aso]

Well from 2007 to 2008 the Patriots gave up 21 sacks to 48. That probably has something to do with Matt Cassel. The Chiefs line is definitely worse than the Patriots too.

Only other player i can see the Chiefs drafting is B.J. Raji though.

Cause Cassel holds on to the ball to long. He isnt the traditional pocket QB so any line you give him he will get sacked a lot.

Word on the street is that they're in love with Tyson Jackson. I'll be surprised if they pick at 3, though.

 

[G-men]

are you gonna change ATL's pick. i doubt the falcons will take a tight end now that they have tony gonzales.

 

[Aso]

Yea he's good and his stock is rising but that looks like a bit of a reach. B.J. Raji like i said before might be a possibility there. Maybe if they trade out of #3 then they'll get him Jackson. I have a feeling the Redskins getting Sanchez is just a smoke screen though. They could also be doing it to fire up Campbell and motivate him a bit.

actually i think you look stupid...Albert WAS a left tackle...at virginia...until somebody....named EUGENE MONROE performed better and got Albert pushed to left guard at Virginia...so.....

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

i will change, and there are rumblings around th eleague that most teams like Maybins potential over Orakpo's....but its cool im making a few changes

You cant pay a RT , Left tackles money , wtf??? No team is going to give a right tackle the same money as a Left tackle.

 

[Archer]

actually i think you look stupid...Albert WAS a left tackle...at virginia...until somebody....named EUGENE MONROE performed better and got Albert pushed to left guard at Virginia...so.....

So there gonna take a perfectly good left tackle and move him to right tackle and still keep him happy??Hes done nothing wrong at LT so they move him over and would have to lower his pay , soon as he gets a chance hes out of there.

I understand what your getting at with Monroe beating out Albert but you can pick a LT (out of college) in round 3-5 and move him to RT and he will do fine .... no point in moving your starting LT whos on LT money over there.

 

[Blick]

LT is the only position Monroe can play. Albert played guard because he's more versatile.

 

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

true....I dont see Waters playing past this year tho....I will most likely update 2moro afternoon after i read up on some more trade possibilities from teams etc.

 

[Goober]

Lol. Nate Webster is long gone in Denver. Andra Davis and DJ Williams are our starting MLBs.
