After seeing and reading about Senior Bowl practices, I have decided to create a Fins mock.. This mock is made with the idea that the Fins will not trade picks (even tho I believe they might as many players would be a reach at the 9th spot)..This mock is also made with the idea that Quinn/Russel will already be off the board. Finally, this mock is made with the belief that we will get a pass rushing OLB via FA that Cam has said the Fins need to address.
First Round
Levi Brown-OT-PSU
Fills a major need
-OR-
Dwayne Jarrett (Think Keyshawn Johnson. Huge Redzone Threat at 6'5)-WR-USC or Dwayne Bowe-WR-LSU (His stock is quickly rising. According to the Senior Bowl scouts, one of the best players in Mobile. Think Anquin Boldin.)
These picks may be reaches but with the 9th pick, I believe many of the top tier talents will be gone. Gaines, J. Anderson, Branch, Russel, Quinn, Thomas, Johnson, and Adrian Peterson should all be taken with the previous 8 picks. Many people like Ted Ginn. However I do not believe it is smart to take a Return Specialist/Slot Reciever with the 9th overall pick. IMO, the Fins should trade down with this pick unless the top 2 QBs are still on the board or one of the top 8 players mentioned above are still availble.
Second Round
Quinn Pit****-DT-OSU or Brandon Mebane-DT-Cal
-OR-
If we do not take Levi Brown in the 1st round...
Joe Staley-OT-CMU or Arron Sears-OT-UT (whoever is available)
-OR-
Aaron Ross-CB-UT or Daymeion Hughes-CB-Cal
Third Round
If the Fins don't draft a CB in the 1st two rounds...
Tanard Jackson-CB-Syracuse
-OR-
If the Fins don't draft a WR in the 1st two rounds...
Johnnie Lee Higgins-WR-UTEP (Think Ginn)
Fourth Round
Martrez Miner-TE- UG
Athletic TE who will add speed and depth down the field. Needs to bulk up.
-OR-
David Irons-CB-Auburn
-OR-
Jon Abbate- ILB-Wake Forest
Tackling Machine.
Sixth Round
Dan Mosez-C-WVU
WVU had outstounding rushing numbers this year.
Seventh Round
Quinton Echols-DT-KSU
Giant in the middle. Might not be here, but with the 7th pick, who knows who's still gonna be around.
Regardless of who the Fins draft in the later rounds, they should add young depth at the DT position.
-OR-
Justin Medlock-K-UCLA
Might be better not to draft a kicker in the 7th bc the Fins can just add him as a free agent.
As you can see, I've created a draft which adds depth to the major needs such as the CB, OT, C, LB, and WR positions. I probably want the Fins to draft a QB more than any other Fin fan. However I do not believe it will be worth drafting any QBs (other than Russel or Quinn). Guys like Stanton, Leak, Palmer, Kolb, etc.. are not worth the pick. Smith might make it in the NFL but I do not believe it is worth the gamble.
