You want to know what irritates me about this draft? The fact that we have a top ten pick in a draft that has limited star power at the top, but has enough depth that some third and fourth rounders are going to be starting in September and we are sitting at #9 hoping and praying that we get a chance to fix one of last years mistakes.
How do you wiff on an entire draft? I don't know but somehow Saban managed to do it last year. So we are at #9 hoping to get Quinn, to make up for the Cullpepper mistake, Landry to make up for the Allen mistake or Brown to make up for taking Allen over Winston Justice who I guarantee you will have a better career than Brown, Ugoh or Staley.
Actually, the tackles played fairly well last year. However, once the guards statred getting hurt, even Jeb declared the o-line a disaster area. What we need to do is trade down about three times and pick Ben Grubb somewhere in the 20's, picking up extra third and fourth rounders along the way. However for the purposes of this thread, let's stay at #9.
#9. Everybody loves Brown except me. Personally, I don't see much difference between Brown and Harris from Notre Dame. Both guys played for teams that under acheived last year in large part because these guys could't do their jobs well against the better teams. In fact when these two teams played each other, the Notre Dame d-line which wasn't world class by any means, had Brown and his boys for an in-between meal snack. So, if you don't take Brown, who do you take. For my money the best pick regardless of position is Patrick Willis, but Cam won't take him. The team is looking to fill a need with this pick. They will probably pick Brown. If they don't take him they will take Leon Hall or possibly Ted Ginn if he runs well at his workout.
#40. If the fish take Brown, that still leaves QB, WR, OG, safety and corner to be addressed. Centre is also a need, but not this early. Besides, there will be a run on offensive linemen from 33-40. Grubb, Blaylock and Kalil will be gone by this time. The one guard who will be there is Sears. Do you draft o-line two picks in a row? Tempting, but no. I would pick Gonzalez, the other wide receiver from Ohio State. Most people will wait on him and hope he is there at #60, They will be disappointed. He is a top 50 player and won't be available at #60.
#60. We have addressed OL and WR. Now is the time to address the defensive backfield. If Drew Stanton is here, we take him. I believe he will be taken between 40 and 60. So, do we go corner or safety? Five interceptions all last year. How pathetic is that? If we go corner it will be between Wilson and Wright. Personally, I would take Wright. However, if it was me, I would go safety and take John Wendling from Wyoming. Some people will want Weddle or Rouse. It is a matter of personal preference and I choose Wendling.
#71. I love so many of the third rounders. I need about three more picks in this round. However, If I don't address QB on the first day some wingnut is going to fly north and firebomb my house. My pick here is Kevin Kolb from Houston. I also wouldn't mind Talley the corner from Duke, Durant the middle linebacker or Sepulvada the punter because Donnie Jones stunk so bad last year. Somebody is going to take him in this round, so why not us?
4Rd. The best centre available. Probably either Datish or Stephensen, unless WR Jacoby Jones from Lane College is on the board, then we take him.
This is my first post and attempt at a mock draft. All feedback is considered constructive criticism so fire away.
