Draft Tek 2013 mock 11/2/12

[j-off-her-doll]

I don't see him as explosive as Mingo but Oregon uses him all over the place. More often than not he's rushing the QB from a two-point stance, I've seen him in coverage over the slot receiver and dropping back in coverage in zone looks. I think his strictly a speed rusher though, doesn't have any pass rush moves and it's basically him trying to get the edge on a Tackle to blow by him for a sack. He's got no power it seems. I just don't see a guy worth a 1st round pick...you're hoping he fills out and gets stronger and that at some point he'll develop some more pass rush moves...but he's a kid that if you run right at him he'll easily get taken out of the play cause he doesn't have the strength to get off the block.

I think he's pretty damn explosive. I'd expect his first year to look like Aldon Smith's - in terms of use, not production. He'd be a player you bring in on passing downs to get after the QB, but his versatility would be nice for some of those 3rd Down blitzes. He's not a base fit opposite Wake until he gets a lot stronger, but he has the frame, and in the meantime, he address one of our 2 or 3 biggest needs (2nd pass rusher) - while adding versatility.

first thing about that mock draft I dont like is mingo ending up with the jets. secondly, I could be mistaken but I thought xavier rhodes got hurt.

at as far as the phins go, at the moment I can't recall how long we have soliai locked up but I think it's only this year. In that case, given the outcome of the mock we are talking about I'd much rather see us take jonathan jenkins. I'd have a hard time looking past the acl injury to hunter.
than I'm going banks and reid in that order.

I hate missing out on keenan allen, but maybe we can find a FA wr, or maybe we just go with anothe solid but not elite WR to have just three solid guys out there. BPA is my thought here. and I think the way that draft unfolded, I want jenkins.

That's a good point. I believe Solai is signed for two years, but that's definitely a position you have to be strong at. As to Hunter, if the top corners and the pass rushers are off the board, I have no problem drafting him. As far as upside goes, I think his may be the highest of all the wide receivers this year. Great talent who would complement Hartline and Bess really well.
