[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 954276, member: 12283"] Here, I'll try my hand at these "mock drafts" that the kids keep talking about. [LIST=1] [*][B]JAC: A. Hutchinson, ED, UM[/B]-- Chalk pick with good reason. [*][B]DET: T. Walker, ED, UGA[/B]-- My theory is that the Willis noise is meant to drive a trade up. [*][B]HOU: E. Neal, OT, UA[/B]-- Texans want to build around Mills to see what they have in him. [*][B]NYJ: K. Thibodeaux, ED, OR[/B]-- Jets need edge help and there's a tier break after Thibs. [*][B]NYG: I. Ikwonu, OT, NCSU[/B]-- Pretty confident that the Giants would take "the other tackle" here. [*][B]CAR: M. Corral, QB, MISS[/B]-- Wonder is the lack of buzz on Corral right now is actually telling. [*][B]NYG: J. Johnson, ED, FSU[/B]-- The Giants don't have a true edge threat pass rusher right now. [*][B]ATL: A. Gardner, CB, CIN[/B]-- The Falcons should just take whatever elite talent falls to them. [*][B]SEA: M. Willis, QB, LIB[/B]-- Seattle obviously needs to start over and Willis could support a run-heavy vision. [*][B]NYJ: D. Stingley, CB, LSU[/B]-- Saleh's defense favors length at corner and Stingley has that over McDuffie. [*][B]WAS: K. Hamilton, S, ND[/B]-- Hamilton's slide ends here; elite prospect at a non-premium position. [*][B]MIN: T. McDuffie, CB, WAS[/B]-- Minny gets the last of the top corners for Pettine to ruin. [*][B]HOU: G. Wilson, WR, OSU[/B]-- Again, Texans need pieces so they can figure out who Mills is. [*][B]BAL: J. Davis, iDL, UGA[/B]-- This pick just feels like a slam dunk. [*][B]PHI: D. London, WR, USC[/B]-- Not high on London, but the best version of him complements Devonta Smith. [*][B]PHI: D. Lloyd, LB, UTAH[/B]-- There's a need and I suspect that by draft day, Lloyd will be #1 with a bullet. [*][B]LAC: C. Cross, OT, MSU[/B]-- The Bolts need to figure out RT. [*][B]NO: T.

Ridder, QB, CIN[/B]-- Lions snag Ridder in the first round to secure the 5th year. [/LIST] My main question after this exercise is whether including 4 QB's is going to look really stupid. I've seen bad QB classes where a bunch went round one anyways (e.g. the Christian Ponder year) and I've seen bad QB classes where they all fall out. Big names that missed out: Tyler Linderbaum, C, Iowa: Once I got past the blue chip prospects, I just couldn't match him with a center needy team, and with his lack of length, I don't think he really has versatility to play anywhere else. Nakobe Dean, LB, Georgia: I kept him in mind as I moved down the board, but never found a fit that felt right. This is just a hunch, but I'm wondering if the media is higher on him than the league. An undersized guy like him could look pretty good pretty easily playing behind that front. [/QUOTE]
