Scout Team
Mock Draft 2.0
Round 1 (#25) Sean Smith, CB, Utah. Height 6-4. Weight 215lbs.
Smith has the size the Big Tuna looks for at corner, he was one of the best corners in the country and only played the position 2 years in college. The sky is the limit for this kid. Came out early, had 5 int’s last season, led the Mountain West Conference, had a whopping 151 interception return yards. (I still think there is a big chance for the FINS trade down a few spots and still get Smith. I really think it will come down to who Philly picks with their first pick.)
previous pick Duke Robinson, G Oklahoma.
Round 2 (#44) Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State. Height 6-3. Weight 209lbs.
The big body receiver the Fins need starts the second round. Robiskie has been moving up draft boards after his impressive times at the combine. Though his Senior year stats slipped, he has all the intangibles NFL scouts love. He has good, if not great hands, great height, long arms and is not afraid to go across the middle. He will have an immediate impact on the Fins as a rookie,
previous pick Louis Delmas, Safety, Western Michigan
Round 2 (#56) Eric Wood, C, Louisville. Height 6-4. Weight 305lbs.
Big, nasty and pushed around B.J Raji in the Senior Bowl. Smart player, Can make all of the O-line calls. 49 consecutive starts in college. Surprising pick for many with the signing of Grove, allows the Trifecta to trade Satele on draft day(probably for a 4th round pick) Wood can also play guard, they like players that can play multiple positions.
Round 3 (#87) David Bruton, Safety, Notre Dame. Height 6-2. Weight 219lbs.
Bruton has the size and speed to make an immediate impact on Special Teams in the NFL as he develops into a full time starter. Was a team captain for the Fighting Irish & a special teams ace. He became a starter in 2007, he had 85 tackles (4.5 of those for loss) and 3 int’s. He added to those totals in 2008 with 97 tackles, 4 int’s, and 2 forced fumbles.
previous pick Joel Bell, OT, Furman.
Round 4 (#122) Frantz Joseph, ILB, Florida Atlantic. Height 6-1. Weight 242lbs.
Joseph seems to be the type of player that doesn’t look good at the combine, but looks great where it counts. . . on the field. He had an incredible 154 tackles in 2008 with 84 of those being solo tackles. He had 137 tackles in 2007.
previous pick Joe Burnett, CB, Central Florida.
Round 5 (# 153) Joel Bell, OT. Furman Height 6-7. Weight 315lbs.
Big mammoth dude, who can put on more weight. 3 Year starter at left Tackle for Furman, though he may be better suited for the right side in the NFL. All Southern Conference all three years as a starter. He adds line depth at the Tackle position for the Fins, which is badly needed.
previous pick Jasper Brinkley, ILB, South Carolina
Round 7 (#196) Terrance Knighton, DT (NT) Temple. Height 6-3. Weight 321lbs.
Former Owls Team Captain (one of the qualities the Trifecta looks for) will be the replacement for Ferguson down the road. Finished the season with 54 tackles, including 35 solos, five break-ups, a team-best three fumble recoveries, a hurry, and blocked kick, and a sack. He blocked 4 kicks in his college career.
previous pick Brandon Tate, WR, North Carolina
Round 7(#220) Mike Teel, QB, Rutgers. Height 6-3. Weight 230lbs.
Tuna goes back to NJ for his final pick. He struggled in the beginning of his Senior year, but bounced back strong in the second half throwing 22 TD’s in his last 6 games. Third string, developmental QB at best.
previous pick Russell Allen, OLB, San Diego State.
*A couple of assumptions / predictions. I Assumed the pick we traded to Jacksonville for Tony Mcdaniel was our pick in the 7th round, # 215. In my first mock draft I said that it was impossible to factor in possible trades, still is, however I will say that I think we trade Samson Satele for a 4th round pick, John Beck for a 6th Round pick and by the end of Draft Day Cowboys OLB Bobby Carpenter is a Fin.
