Not too bad, is this your own Mock Draft or did you pull it off some site? I like that in a mock draft we choose Tyson Jackson, he would make a great DE replacement for Pryce when he retires, but the problem is Jackson seems more like someone we could plug in immediately. But thats not a bad mock draft, I gotta say I can't find any issues with it.

this is my own mock draft
i thought we will take a 3-4 DE cause there are talented guys like dunta robinson in the free agency and a tall marques colston type reciever who will fall to the 3rd round cause he is slow and i think we can pick him
i also think we should have an eye on justin harper (now on IR) cause he is tall an talented at college he didn

Thanks thats my first mock draft i have made in my life and i am happy to hear that it is a good one
i will make another mock draft after the combine cause most of the teams go after the combine

[BloodRaven]

I dont think we have any needs at d-line. And Harbaugh seems to be gearing this team towards being more balanced, so that means WR or o-line.

Besides most mock drafts are 50% AT BEST.

[RoflDogs]

Terrence Cody is not declaring, sadly enough (he is a monster)
and I think Bradford will stay in school
plus I think the 49ers will go away from the QB position, since they have a solid qb in Shaun Hill

[FlaccosFlock]

I would rather have Everette Brown from FSU then Tyson Jackson from LSU. That just my opinion though.

I have a few problems with it although overall its a good one
these points should help you with your next one

Lions will not take a QB if they are smart, especially one with a weak arm, if they went QB it would be stafford as he could bomb to megatron all day but theyll go Andre Smith or Oher therem build from the lines

Cle will not take Wells in the top 5, Wells is overated and they where 28th against the run and 27th overall so they take Curry the best defesive player in the draft there

Buffalo wont take pettigrew that high, they wont pass rush, evveret brown or Aaron Maybin shoul dbe the pick there

Denver wont pass on Mays if he is there, Laurintus is good if Moore and mays are gone but every bronco fans will tell you Mays should be the pick

WAs - id be surprised if the dont resign Hall and then they have 3 young cprners who are all good, i doubt they take a CB who is not top 20 material, id giove them Jason Smith as they need line help

CHi would not take Maclin as they have a fast reviever in Hester, whats the point of having two fast receivers who cant run routes and cant catch, the would take Robinson or a DE here

Phil - they need tackle help not guard, if DUke could play T its a great pick but he can so go tackle here

But besides that a good mock

hope theses poiunts hepled you out for youre next mock

obviously you did not watch the sugar bowl

Cody looked lazt and out of shape
he is a a fat whale on the field, hes slow and sure he takes up doubles on runs but on pass protection they wont block him as he aint have the speed to get to the QB in time (exageration)

Cody maybe big but he needs to lose weight, get stronger and quicker to be a DT in this league
If he declared this yaer hed be a 3rd to 4th round prospect
Next year he could be top 20 if he does the things i listed above

I think that Jackson lacks desire and that competitive drive. He has positives, but those two negatives stick out!

people criticized ngata about those two things aswell and even questioned when we drafted him and hes one of the bset DTS in the game, Although he is slipping fast and could be there when we pick in round 2
hes a late 2nd early third prospect now if people are interested

They questioned him being picked because of the knee injury he sustained in college that many thought could still be a problem. The only other negative comments that were posted were that he tended to rely strictly on his strength against people which didn't always work. Jackson lacking desire and a competitive drive is a totally different story. Not to mention Ray Lewis came out the year that Ngata was in the draft and said that if they didn't pick him that he was leaving.

[Bullitt_711]

I NOTICE TWO CLEAR OMMISSIONS DEZ WHITE IS THE BEST RECEIVER IN THE COUNTRY NOT CRABTREE HE WILL BE THE FIRST WR TO GO, AND TAYLOR MAYS WILL GO TOP TEN MINIMUM IF NOT HIGHER, 6-3 STRONG SAFTEY WILL ALL WORLD SPEED.

[T-Sizzle55]

-I think the Washington Redskins would take a OT like Eugene Monroe, Virginia or OT Eben Britton, Arizona or a DE if they are really unsatisfied with Jason Taylor's performance.
-I don't know if teams would pick Alphonso Smith in the 1st round just because some list him as 5'8 5/8".
-Tyson Jackson is a great prospect and he would be great taking over for Trevor Pryce, but Everette Brown and Greg Hardy are serious pass rushers who are excellent at shedding blocks. Jackson is a run stopper primarily. He's great for a 3-4, but with Rex being called away for multiple HC interviews, we could be in a 4-3 next year. Some think we could get Jackson in the 2nd round because his junior and senior year productivity in sacks declined to less than half the amount t his sopmore year (I think him still being available in the late 2nd round pick is rediculous). DE Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech is hard to pass up just cuase he's a physical freak Height: 6-7. Weight: 257. Projected 40 Time: 4.63.

Unfortunately after all that I'm actually leaning towards Mike Mickens because he's great against the pass and he's excellent stopping the run, which would be great considering we will (almost definately) be without McAlister next year. We still have Pryce, Douglas and might re-sign Suggs and Dwan Edwards, so if Rolle retires as well as us releasing C-Mac, then cornerback has once again become a off-season top priority.

overall, you did a good job. here are my only tidbits....

i believe mauluga will go before laurenitis. i think laurenitis is a bit overrated and will go in the later teens....maybe even slipping into the twenties.

not really sure why the skins would go alphonso smith....who is a bit of a reach at 13 anyway. he should be in the early 20s....maybe, MAYBE late teens.

i've said it before and i'll say it again.....heyward bey is vastly overrated by people on this board...and ravens fans in general. he runs sloppy routes and has a tendency to disappear in games....not to mention questionable hands. late first, early 2nd. i don't care how fast he is.


now, i DO like the tyson jackson pick for the ravens. he'd be a solid fit.

[quote name='52Kia Kaha92' post='121505' date='Jan 6 2009, 10:54 PM']um Dez Bryant is staying in school im 90% sure[/quote]

Yeah Dez Bryant has to stay in school because he is a true sophmore and can't come out till next year! Next year Bryant and Briscoe will go high in the draft!

[bojo27]

Ravens draft is wide open.... people forget how many on IR, add them to final 53 roster and Ravens don't want lots of rookies this year. Enables the Ravens to trade out(for future draft picks) or package picks and players and trade up for a targeted player.

If the Ravens draft at 27 they'll draft a tight end, their biggest need without reaching.

[bmoraven20]

I wish Taylor Mays could fall to the Ravens. We would be unstopable! but thats not happening. The other day i found a mock draft that is interesting. [url="http://www.fanzak.com/fzrants/2009_NFL_Mock_Draft_10"]http://www.fanzak.com/fzrants/2009_NFL_Mock_Draft_10[/url]

[Moderator 9]

i like taylor mays a lot, but we have absolutely ZERO need for him....in fact, who would you get rid of for mays? landry? leonard? zibby?

there are much better picks to be had. landry really impressed coaches with his offseason work ethic and came to camp a MONSTER! he'll be back tougher than ever next year.

[52Kia Kaha92]

Yea im so pumped to see landry next year, as you say he was a monster at camp last year and will be a monster on the field next year

[Whole-Gash]

How do you know Landry is better than Leonhard? He might have been great his rookie year but disappeared last season and Leonhard has been a beast and plus he can play on special teams. I think they'll either trade one of those two or have a try-out in camp. I'm not knocking Landry, I'm just saying you can't assume he's the starter given how well Leonhard has played especially in the playoffs. Also, who knows how well Landry will heal from his injury it was extremely serious.

landry didn't disapear last year. the whole secondary disapeared when the team gave up on itself. Cmac led the way on that one.

landry was also ADORED by the coaching staff in training camp. he came into camp in the best shape of his career and was playing great until that injury. he's the IDEAL strong safety. leonard isn't.

that's not a knock on leonard. he's done a great job and he'll still be on the field. but honestly, i think it will be in more of a NB playing zone capacity. if not, then maybe they'd ask landry to beef up some more to play LB....but he'd have to add close to 20 pounds to be totally effective at it. so i don't see it happening.

landry is a hard hitting run stopper which is what you want from a strong safety. he played a HUGE role in run support over the past 2 years. we all know leonard isn't a great tackler. he makes strong efforts, but gets physically outmatched. i think leonard will still see the field a lot though. mainly on special teams but probably also in dime packages. we also have a package that's considered a "heavy nickel" which usually has the strong safety moving up for intermediate/short routes across the middle of the field, and another free safety type player comes in to assist on deep routes. i think leonard can be that guy. plus, i think he'll be returning punts next year instead of figurs, who will most likely be gone.
