| Wow D, for the most part that's a really solid mock draft. I won't even read a mock if there aren't reasons provided for the picks, and I thought you did a great job there. I only had three decent-sized beefs:
1. I'd be pissed if Green Bay passed on Mario Williams, no matter how much I like AJ Hawk as a fall-back option at #5. But besides that, I also find it hard to believe Williams could fall all the way to #7 without another team trading up for him. He's just that highly-touted. Defensive end prospects with his size, measurables, and proven production really only come around once every half decade or so, and I think NFL GMs are very aware of that.
2. In the last couple months, Mathias Kiwanuka has all but fallen out of the first 20 picks, and possibly the first round. If the Rams want a DL, Broderick Bunkley is by far the best prospect on the board at that point (Wimbley is good too).
3. I just don't see the Jags going RB in the first round. You're right that Fred Taylor will never be a sure thing, but it seems like the Jags' staff really loves Greg Jones -- not to mention LaBrandon Toefield, who has always played well when given the chance.
All in all, though, that looks pretty awesome.
Blitz, I've already stated my doubts about how Davis would fit into SF's scheme at this point, but he's clearly a phenomenal prospect, and in a few years if the Niners can add to that offense, he could really break out. I'd also be really excited about taking Ryans at #22 -- he's just ferocious, and would fit into your 3-4 perfectly. |
