Since everybody else is doing one, and I've been posting our picks from other sites, I guess I'll try a mock draft.
1.Ronnie Brown RB, Auburn-We could go a number of ways here. Any of the 3 RBs, Smith or Rodgers, or Edwards or Williams. As of right now, RB is our biggest need, and Ronnie Brown is probably the most complete back.
2.No Pick
3.Atiyyah Ellison DT, Missouri- I doubt many people want Ellison, or know who he is, but IMO he is the right pick. CJ Mosely will more than likely be gone by this time, Ronald Fields has durability issues, and there are better safeties later on in the draft. Ellison is the second tallest DT in the draft at 6'4 1/4", and runs a 4.9 40 being over 300 lbs. He is still raw, and will probably be a work in progress, but he has a ton of potential and he has continued to improve his play each year.
4.Jason Brown C, North Carolina- Brown might not fall into the 4th, but I wouldn't be shocked. Alot of people want Ben Wilkerson, including myself, but I doubt he falls to the 4th even with his injury. Brown is a bigger C (313 lbs), and would give McKinney compition for the starting center position.
5.Marviel Underwood S, San Diego State- This is probablythe biggest reach I will make in this mock. Underwood is small at 5'10 and only weights 197 lbs. However, he is one of the best all-around safeties in the draft. Most of the safeties projrcted to go in the 5/6 rounds all have questions on either their speed, coverage skills, or run support. Not Underwood. He is pretty good in coverage, and he is good in run support. He also likes to hit. Plus, he's a 3 year starter. The most impressive thing about him is probably his 4.38 40 time. The only real knock on him besides his size is that sometimes he goes for the big hit instead of the tackle.
6.No Pick
7.Walter Washington QB, Temple- Everybody wants a QB to develop, and here's the ultimate project. Washington has great arm strengh and athleticism, and his fairly hard to take down because of his weight (240 lbs). Washington is also pretty short for a QB (5'11 3/4"), so he might not even be drafted as a QB. Even if he does not end up playing QB in the pros, Washington can play also play WR, and can help Welker on ST. Plus he can give us a guy for the gadget plays (ala Hines Ward or Randel El). Either way, Washington would be a project.
So what do you guys think?
