Revised 3 rounder

[mrdv1]

Even though my last mock is still near the top it has been a while since it came out, here's my revised mock... and probably last until after the combine, I put the 3 rounds again, but left out the explanations so it isn't too long. Any explanations anyone wants just write the name of the team and the pick in a response and I'll provide a couple sentence explanation on why it's the pick.

The Texans were in the top 6 or 7 in sacks allowed this season. The need for an OT is no longer there.

I think 19 is far too high for Ali Highsmith right now. His size is going to hurt him. There are safeties in this league bigger than him. I think he's a late first round pick at best.

I think Quentin Groves is an OLB in the NFL. I don't see him producing as a full time DE. Hard for me to see Baltimore skipping over him for Crable.

I am one of the guys that will tell you that Malcolm Kelly in the second round is a good pick. I've actually projected him that low in a mock before. While I was making a point about how much I dislike him as an NFL player, I can't deny he's a late first round pick at worst. I just don't like seeing him in the top 20. I think he's overhyped right now. He's impressive at times and has loads of potential and God know that'll get a prospect taken high. I just think he's extremely inconsistent. His production is poor and he's not a good route runner. He struggles to get open a lot. He's explosive, though, and can make some big things happen.

Jason Jones in the second round is gutsy and original. I haven't seen anyone else grade him that high. I'm not going to dismiss it either. He comes from a small school, but he has a great size/speed ratio. I want to see him at the combine.





It's hard for me to see the Steelers not taking the top OL on the board with their first pick. I think they could go OL with their first two picks.

I don't see Mendenhall slipping out of the first round. I think either him or Stewart, maybe both, will be in the top 20 picks.

I don't care for Phillip Merling in a 3-4. He's certainly generating some hype amongst the leading draftniks though.

Pat Sims looks more like a 3-4 DE than NT to me. SF needs help at both positions though.

I'm pretty big on Henderson. He's a big body and a great athlete, not to mention a playmaker. I think his stock climbs to first round status.

I rate Goff a second day prospect. There's several ILBs I rate ahead of him, including Vince Hall, Beau Bell and Phillip Wheeler. Wheeler is a great fit for the 3-4, too.

Far too low for Fred Davis. He could be in the late first round. He's without doubt the top TE in the draft right now.

Tony Hills won't be taken in the third round. More like sixth.

I think the one exception to the Texans need, or lack their of for a 1st round OT is Ryan Clady. If he falls to 18 I think its a sure thing that the Texans take him. If he falls to 14 I think they might trade up. If that happened, I like the Bears to take Mendenhall at 18.

I have Malcolm Kelly as my top receiver, but not everyone does. I personally think that Kelly will go somewhere between 17-21, as all five of those teams have a reason to take a WR. With a good combine he could be a Bear or a Bill.

I don't have a problem with the Panthers taking a QB early, but I don't think that the QB will be Woodson. Flacco or Henne would be my guess.

Speaking of Flacco, I definitely think he's 3rd rounder or better.

I think the 2-4 backs, Mendenhall, Stewart and Jones, will absolutely go somewhere between 16-32.

Also, I'm a fan of Jacob Tamme. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the 2nd-4th TE taken. With that said, I don't think the Seahawks go TE in the 2nd. I think the first 3 rounds will include three of DT, WR, OG/OT and DT.

The Cowboys would be better off taking an OG to play on the left side rather than a C. You must be concerned about those high snaps. I am too but I think that will be a thing of the past by next season. Kosier is a good pass blocker but he is only average at best in the run game.

[mrdv1]

I felt that they would draft a center then put Guorode at gaurd and yes the snaps were it.
