Free Agent

Yeah that was my fault, I was away all weekend and anticipated internet access, which unfortunately was not the case. Shipley is a very underrated player. He's a significantly better center than Samson Satele, who is grossly overpaid and overrated. While Shipley has plenty of room to grow, he's definitely on the right track. Plus on my o-line, being sandwiched in between Josh Sitton and Ben Grubbs will definitely be to Shipley's benefit as well.

Sorry for the hold up fellas, it's been an awfully busy weekend. Nevertheless, I think my pick was golden. Smells like a winner to me.

Haha i see what you did there. Talk about leading a triple life.

It's pretty trippy.

I'd say more than decent. I liked it a lot, although It probably won't be as good the second time around if I choose to give it a second viewing. But talk about taking the way you feel about a character for a rollercoaster ride. And Rooney Mara is quite the actress, I liked her in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and I liked her in Side Effects. Fun fact: Mara's mother's family founded the Steelers and her father's family founded the Giants.

Unless ctrl-F is failing me, he was still available.

Welcome back to the 4-3, Dan Connor.

Haha thank you kind sir.

I remember you loved Allen from the other mock. He fit my need for a possession WR across from Harvin perfectly. I should be around most of the afternoon, hopefully these next few picks roll right along.

Me too, but apparently someone doesn't.

Hate for my Allen pick? Or was someone trying to neg the Honey Badger and missed?

I agree, Hopkins has a lot of potential, I'm not knocking your selection at all. Hopkins was a good pick. My point is leading up to the draft, there were quite a few of us who were higher on Allen than on Hopkins. It was only after Allen fell to the 3rd round that some of us began to I suppose think less of him. I still think both Allen and Hopkins will be very good NFL WRs.

Its funny, had we done this mock prior to the real life 2013 draft, there are quite a few of us who would've chosen Allen over DeAndre Hopkins, who went at the beginning of round 11 in this mock. Yet, because Allen fell to third round in real life, I think it caused a lot of us to either forget about him or just be wary of selecting him. But I think Allen will be a very good WR for the Chargers. Injury concerns aside, he'll develop into a very nice intermediate/over-the-middle weapon for Phillip Rivers.

Thanks.

My pick is in. I know he would've gone a lot higher had it not been for the injury concerns that sunk his draft stock. I love his sure hands and toughness. When combined with the speed and playmaking ability of Percy Harvin, not to mention catching passes from Peyton, Allen should thrive.

Dang, Mikell and Wilson off the board in back to back picks. I was looking at either one of them with one of my next picks.

With few quality tackles left, i honestly just like his youth and potential. He has been plagued by injury since he was drafted, but when he has been on the field he has shown some bright spots. Plus hes versatile enough to play either right or left tackle.

Yeah he was, he really came on towards the end of last year. Plus placing him inside utilizes his greatest strength, his run stopping ability.

He plays 3-4 DE for the Redskins, but he is versatile enough to play 4-3 DT as a run stuffer.

My pick is in. Had to take a DT after putting it off for a while, so I chose a young guy who showed lots of potential in the second half of last season as a run stuffer.

Sorry guys, didn't think I'd be back on the clock so soon. Anyways, the pick is in.

Drops were a problem for him last year for sure, but they haven't been nearly as much of a problem in years past. I like to think its an issue that can be fixed.

I intend to line him up all over the field. He can play as a second TE, he can play in the slot, he can play H-back, or FB for the power running game for McFadden. His versatility is unique.

Thank you sir.

My pick is in. Pair him with Antonio Gates, and Peyton has a nice pair of TEs to throw to. Plus, he can be utilized as an H-back or FB as well. I love his versatility.
