Mock Draft Thread

Brockers is an interesting prospect, but his value is still up and down. He got a ton of weight on in short time, and basically did his thing in one year. He shouldn't have come out, but his value might be high enough that he can make it work. He's a fantastic prospect with the huge drawback of being unable to see what he can do immediately, because he barely developed into a college DT, and now you want him to start as a top ten pick.

Guys this young also obviously don't play in all-star games so you don't ever get to see him against other pro-level prospects in person, so stock will probably go up when he works out.

His height doesn't seem to work against him, which is nice. 6'6 guys with a good base but athleticism are the type of DT you want to pick here at our spot, but there's a lot of risk with him not doing it over the course of time.








I don't remember seeing him in GA, but reading up on the athleticism of Georgia offensive tweener Bruce Figgins sounds interesting. A very lean 6'3, 272 lb blocker, who you could line up in tons of places. But the ability hasn't been there, again from what I'm reading. I don't know him.

 

In case you have some free time this Saturday:

2:00 to 5:00pm – on NFL Network (pre-game at 1:30) – The Shrine Bowl

4:00 to 8:00pm – on NBCS (ch 503 on Direct TV) – The NFLPA Bowl

6:00 to 9:30pm – on FSFL (ch 654 on Direct TV) – The Battle of Florida Game

 

I for one am not a fan of tall DTs. It seems harder for them to gain leverage.

 

would be a totaly luxury pick, but I'm a huge fan of Wright. Hopefully, he won't end up in the division.



Notes: Some of the biggest buzz at the Shrine Game surrounds the receiver position. The consensus has Oklahoma State junior Justin Blackmon as the top wideout in April's draft. But that does not match the reality on many a draft board around the league, which has Big 12 counterpart Kendall Wright of Baylor as the top receiver available. Wright is being fondly compared to Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers, with one insider mentioning he's a bigger version of the former All-Pro.

Panthers scouts have reportedly been all over this guy (sexualy):

Scouts have praised Tennessee Tech wide out Tim Benford. When matched up with safeties in one-on-ones, scouts were saying that the safeties had no chance to stop the speedy Benford.

 

I googled this guy, and found:

I know nothing about that site really, nor do I know who wrote that blog. Lots of notes on guys that are practicing at the E/W Shrine Game.

This was there also:

 

physically, Wright isn't the same fit as Blackmon, and that high, you want a physical freak like Andre Johnson or Calvin Johnson. But he does some of the little things so well and with a Mike Wallace or Victor Cruz possibly leading your team, not to mention Steve Smith, Wright might get bolstered by that (and the 4.3 he'll run).

 

I'd like Wright here, but I agree his measurements are not ideal, but i think he's low risk high reward.

Short term I think the front seven is the highest need. Long term you have to look at Gross, Wharton, Smith and Gamble all in their 30's
I just do not think you should wait till they all age out before you try replacing those spots. Other than the G spot, I think you'll need a 1st round pick to replace those spots.
