2012 NFL Mock Draft: All-Rams Mock Version 2.0

Email
PrintThis is my second all rams mock draft of the season. In this mock I have the rams picking around pick five, and I wouldn't expect this to change anytime soon. Since we need help at pretty much every position, I have us going BPA (best player available) in most rounds. I went into this with the mindset that Kroenke will want players that can contribute immediately, and I tried to grab as many playmakers as I could fit in.
On defense, I went after a lot of help for the secondary. On offense I just tried to put as many playmakers around Sam as possible. I also tried to add some players that could really help on special teams.
Hit the jump for the draft.
1: Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina: This pick should come as no surprise. Jeffery has good size (6'4", 230 lbs.) and decent speed (he should run around a 4.5 at the combine). He has a propensity for the big play and has fantastic hands. Jeffery is the best receiver in a class that is loaded with receiving talent. He has the potential to be a Calvin Johnson-esque receiver, and Sam will love this pick.
2: Jayron Hosley, CB, Virginia Tech: In almost any other year, Hosley would have little chance of falling out of the first round, but this is shaping up to be one of the deepest corner classes ever. The reason I have Hosley falling to the second is because of his lack of size (5'10", 170 lbs.). He is an absolute ballhawk, and our secondary really needs a playmaker. Hosley could step in and be our punt returner from day one. I feel like he has the upside to turn into the next Asante Samuel.
3: Kawann Short, DT, Purdue: Robbins and Bannan are old, and we have no one to replace them. Enter Short, who is going to be a fabulous complementary piece on someone's defensive line in the NFL. With Long and Quinn Rushing from the outside, Short would flourish in our defensive scheme. He also is good at blocking kicks with two last year and one so far this year.
4: Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor: Adding Wright would give Sam a player that can take those little five yard passes and turn them into long touchdown plays. The opposing defense would have to account for Wright on every play, and that would help free up the other playmakers that we we're adding through this draft. I really think Wright could be a special weapon in the NFL, kind of like a much more dangerous Antwaan Randle-El.
5: Chris Rainey, RB/WR/KR/PR, Florida: With this pick, the rams solve the kick returning issues, the third down running back problem, add another home run threat on offense, and pick up a guy that is really good at blocking punts. Rainey will be a special teams dynamo and can line up all over the field on offense. He would be a phenomenal weapon to add for Sam.
6: Jamell Fleming, CB, Oklahoma: Fleming is a third round talent that falls because of character issues. Our corners are awful this year, and we need as much talent as possible moving forward. Adding Flemming along with Hosley would make our cornerback depth chart heading into next season look like this: Bartell, Fletcher, Hosley, Murphy, and Fleming. Do you see Justin King or a washed-up Al Harris on that list? Good, it means we're doing something right.
7: T-Bob Hebert, OG/C, LSU: I have yet to add any offensive line help in this draft, but I think we need to fix that through free agency, and probably a new offensive line coach. Anyway, Hebert has some backup potential and can play Center and both guard positions, so he's worth a shot in the seventh. Plus is name is T-Bob. I like to imagine this would bring alot more fake southern accents to the practice field. "Hey T-Bob you can't skin your dinner in the locker room!" For all Southern people that would get offended by this, please note that I am joking and feel free to remind me that pretty much any team in the SEC would kick my beloved buckeyes' ass.
7 (from Browns): Janzen Jackson, McNeese State: Jackson transfered to McNeese State from Tennessee because of off the field issues. I think the four pillars have shown that they are not effective, so we need to take as much talent as we can in this draft. If Jackson would have stayed at Tennesee, he would go much higher than this.
Well that's all folks, please respond to the poll and let me hear you in the comments.

I saw Alshon Jeffery and I immediatly clicked yes...
Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!
Trade Luck
The way we’re going, we might have a shot at Andrew Luck. Maybe we could trade for a whole lotta picks.
no
our schedule is very easy after the saints game…i bet we go 7-9
No, it's not just the schedule, cause even the other NFC west teams are managing a win against good opponents
Need I remind you, 3 of our games have been at home, and the road one might have been our easiest opponent

draft
Would not take two wide receivers. 1st pick is fine. Instead in Round 4 would take another db or dt or lb
Carpy
i'm not too keen on taking two wr's again either
pettis is progressing fine and i’ve not given up on salas yet
just get the true #1 and fix other areas
by hex706f726368 on Oct 3, 2011 5:52 PM CDT up reply actions
Me too. If necessary, we could get that extra WR in FA. We need an OT badly!
Jason Smith is NOT the answer.
We have all the number two WRs we need
We just need a true BIG number 1!
No reason to pick a receiver outside of the first round.
I took three defensive backs,
a really good DT the round before, and I think Jabara Williams will develop into a starter by next season and we will go for an OLB in free agency
Turf Show Times writer and a pround rams fan. Follow me on twitter @jmwehrle
Where's an OLB or two!?
I had to vote no. We still need the STUD OLB’s to stop the run and
by Fullerton Rams Fan on Oct 3, 2011 5:41 PM CDT reply actions 1 recs
Yup
No OLB and no G? What about a FS? Back-up OT? So many needs, we will need to trade out if and only if Luck is available.
My point exactly
we need some lb to play with laurinitis, we wont need another safety if stewart can have a great season, but i think u have too many recievers, 2 is good enough. We also need a tackle
Hebert is a guard and Jackson is a free safety
granted, those are seventh round picks, but I still addressed those positions. This is an awful OT class unless a bunch of underclassmen come out. I went BPA, and there are not that many good outside linebackers in this draft so I just addressed other positions of need (CB, DT, WR, etc) instead of reaching for an OLB.
Turf Show Times writer and a pround rams fan. Follow me on twitter @jmwehrle
Oline
neeeds fixed before any playmakers. You win inside out. Protect the QB and get to the other QB. If you can do that your WR and DB become a whole lot better.
i agree with this
but still think taking jeffrey in the first may be the right move
the oline can be addressed in the later rounds

the only offensive line prospect that could step in right away and fix much of problems
would be Matt Kalil, and I project he will be gone before we pick. Our pass rush will be fine once we add a solid DT, and I did that with Short.

Yep,
Kalil is an elite tackle prospect, top 5 type of guy.

Yes and no
We need to go after veteran FAs to solve the line issues.
However I have a sneaking suspicion a big part of the O-line problems stem from our coaching and reliance on young tackles. I’m not quite ready to throw Smith out, though he needs a pay cut, and Saffold is better than he’s shown so far this season. I’d like to see a change at center and some more journeymen types added to the mix. I refuse to believe the problems we’re seeing are related to talent deficiencies below the neck! Good coaching can fix this.
Giving Sam a true playmaker will give him the ability to throw the ball up from time to time. These guys usually come in the first round where we’ll be picking. We dimly have no other choice than draft a WR first.
i didn't vote
but i don’t see a TE in this mock, so i can’t take it seriously
why would we possible spend another pick on a TE
we just drafted kendricks IN THE 2ND ROUND. That would be a complete waste of a pick but soulds like this dumb front office so maybe your on to something. We should just use all our picks on TE and 3rd and 4th WR cuz, you know…that worked oh so well last year

Yea sorry im just so fed up with this team
I hated our draft as soon as we picked kendricks and then Pettis and Salas back to back. Then i started to think maybe this FO knew what they were doing because i started to read everyones praise and grades. Next thing you know I let that little bitch called optimisim creep back into my head and what do you know…I actually hate it more than when we drafted them. Hey who knows maybe we will draft some more TE and set a new trend with the 4 TE set and just never use WR. Now that sounds like a plan to me

I like it except i feel DT is a huge need
Robbins has shown he is now what he used to be and i dont even know what to make of bannan. Its really hard to say we dont need a CB but we also badly need a stud DT. the O line is horrible but i dont know if i trust this front office to evaluate O line talent. They obvioulsy whiffed on all of them except for Saffold. So many holes i thought were filled this year but just looks like they were all for naught. Definately need top teir talent at WR in the first. Too bad we didnt have 3 1st round picks then we could get top talent at WR DT and CB…wishfull thinking

He does have DT in the 3rd
I think it’s big but not bigger than CB nor WR. Where do you think it should go on the list?
Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!
I think second but im not really sure on that
the reason i would put more importance on the DT is cause if we can get to the QB with more efficiency that would erase some of the deficiencies at corner. Plus our defense is 32nd against the run for a reason so that is another problem. but just thinking about having justin king as our corner for another year makes me physically ill. i would die if bartell is not able to return or we did not find a replacement.

also another reason is
if bartell is able to return, then we will also have Murphy back next year. It wouldnt be as big of an issue but i realize that is a big if on bartells return. Bartell gets hurt every year so i do think we need an eventual replacement though

This is also true
and thinking about King on the field period makes me phsyically ill. Man it’s crazy how burnt he got by Torrey. But I think that if Bartell can come back and be the same I’d put DT ahead of CB.
Sam Bradford + Alshon Jeffery = All other teams are screwed!!
I would love to get every person
on that draft execept for Alshon Jeffery, not sold on him at all, would much rather have justin blackmon, seems like alshon has weight/character issues.
Weight? He's like 220
And what character concern? Blackmon was suspended for drunk driving, so if there is something minuscule that Alshon has, Blackmon wouldn’t pass your test either

I have no idea what character issues you're talking about
and he apparently has a good work ethic so I’m not concerned about his weight

I definitely want to add playmakers,
but I feel like there are few too many WR’s. After Jeffrey at the top we might need to add onto the Defensive line.

this is a terrible offensive line class after the first few (Kalil, Jonathon Martin, David DeCastro, Riley Rieff)
BPA > reaching for a need that can best be fixed by letting Saffold progress and signing good veterans for a decent price.

i voted no. this is a good draft but
i would rather we cover all positions in the top 3 rnds then filling holes in free agency. remember, in FA, ppl have to WANT to come here.
1. if we are a top 5 pick, trade it back for more picks
2. take dre kirkpatrick in the 1st
3. take michael floyd/ ryan broyles in the 2nd with a olineman with our additional round 2 pick
4. take an outside linebacker and a dt with our two 3rd round picks
5. continue addressing the line through the rest of the draft.
6. throw HUGE money at vincent jackson in the offseason
I'm not projecting trades yet

At this point, we need ELITE talent...
Sadly, this year I would have said trade back if Quinn didn’t fall into our laps, but it is clear at this point we need legit elite talent to compete at certain positions. We need a WR like Jeffrey or Blackmon, or a OT like Khalil if he falls. We cannot afford any more misses right now, or Bradford will be in a hospital before we turn this around.

I say no....
We get 2 CB’s, 2 more WR’s and Safety….We dont get any OLB help or a decent RB to help SJax out……I think if we do get a WR (which we will) then its a top one between Jeffrey, Floyd, or Blackmon…..If we don’t get a top one there then a CB is the other option then we can get Fuller, Broyles but it seems like we have to go WR/CB or CB/WR to really improve this team cuz the first 4 weeks that what is really hurting us…..RB/OLB/DT/and OL will fall into place but the Skill players we have dont have much skill so that is priority.

they won't trade the pick, if it's the 1st overall
cause then teams will know that we won’t pick Luck, so whoever picks 2nd or 3rd would have a shot at Luck

If anyone cares what I have to say on Twitter: @Sergey_Konyshev
Yeah I agree
You could start a bidding war with Luck as the only top tier QB. Barkley isn’t a good enough 1a like has been available in last few drafts. We suck so bad we can’t afford to lose any value on any pick we have. Problem is it will probably be made by a lameduck FO so they won’t pick Luck because that plan needs more time to pan out than the current FO has.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf

I am a little confused by what you said here, are you saying that the Rams should take Luck if they have the #1 pick?
I'm saying for value purposes
That the option of taking Luck so as to bring more picks should be explored. We got Sam and that’s all we need at QB. However, Luck brings more value to the first overall pick than that pick has had in a while. Creative shopping and back room dealing could make this a windfall for whoever has it. We don’t need a QB but it’s not inconceivable that we could draft him and trade him to say the team with the # 4 pick and their 2nd rounder, or more.
Wolf. Wolfgang Wolf
They would trade the pick
because teams will know that we will trade it to, say, someone drafting 3rd overall who desperately wants Luck. That means that the 2nd overall pick and every other team wanting Luck will have to match that offer. If the #1 overall pick goes to a team with a franchise QB, I promise you that pick will be traded for a LOT.

LB and RB
IMO these are two areas that can be addressed in the 2012 draft. Danny Levathan has 2 sacks and an INT returned for a TD. Against Florida he laid a hit on John Brantley that sent him to the lockerroom. Kentucky is not the cream of the crop by any stretch; but this kid plays great. He is fast and he does well in pass coverage. Strong tackler as well.Sean Spence is a fella that plays bigger than his size. He just hits and hits hard.Sean Porter for Texas A&M plays sideline to sideline. He can rush the passer as well. He has 5 sacks this season including 2 against both Ok St and Ark. The CB position also has a couple of options that may be available in rounds 2 and/or 3: Cliff Harris from Oregon. In 2010 he had 4 punt returns for TD’s and 6 INT’s. Harris also ran back kickoffs for nearly 200 yards as well. He just returned from suspension last week. He is a playmaker. Casey Hayward of Vanderbilt is a strong cover guy. He has 4 INT’s this year wiyh one taken back for a TD. In 2010 Hayward had 6 TD’s. I hope the Rams consider RB Lamar Miller from Miami. He is tremendous at blitz pickup. He is an effective receiver as well. A very explosive RB. Forgot to mention a great cover corner for North Alabama. When he played for the Gators in 2010; he faced the top WR’s in the SEC and did well against them all: A.J. Green, Julio Jones, and Alshon Jefferey. I think that Blackmon has the best overall game at WR; but I could not argue with the selection of Jefferey.
I really like Hayward
but I don’t think Miller will come out this year

There’s a realization
And you've been watching the Rams O-Line, correct?
Starters don’t come regularly in the 7th round…
starters can come in free agency...
I’m going to say this a lot this year; this offensive line class is horrible and we need to draft BPA rather than reach for a need

we won’t give him away….we could get Luck and ship him off for a kings ransom but our FO isn’t that smart and we won’t be so lucky……Dolphins,Chiefs, Seahawks,Skins,Colts,49ers, Raiders in that order will be vying for Luck’s services and I doubt we can do much with their roster anyway

Depends
Luck is an unblemished player who costs you less than half of what Sam costs. And the new head coach would get a year of grace because it would be Luck’s rookie season. Based on everyone’s bagging on how it’s more Sam’s fault then the line’s our the reciever’s, I would think you guys would prefer Luck. Let Sam go to a fanbase where people won’t blame him for how little talent he has around him.

No,
teams will make trade offers BEFORE the pick. That’s common sense.

If you make it known that we aren't gonna take Luck

by King Sam Rules! on Oct 3, 2011 10:12 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
The second pick will want Luck is the point...
If you’re not gonna draft Luck, the second pick will say “oh, he’s ours,” until the 3rd overall pick offers the house to move up to #1. Then picks #4, #5, #10, or anyone looking for a franchise QB will offer the house, and that will force the #2 overall pick to match that offer because otherwise you WILL trade it to the #3 overall pick. It happened with Ryan Leaf. The Chargers were picking 3rd, everyone knew the Cardinals WEREN’T taking Leaf because they had their franchise QB in Jake Plummer (lol), and so the Chargers were forced to trade the house to move up ONE spot to a team that wasn’t even planning on taking Leaf because other teams were trying to move up as well. Obviously, the Cards took the best offer, and that was only moving back one spot.

First order of business is losing Devaney......
Second order of business is hiring Chris Petersen as your new head coach. Let him run the draft. He knows the talent coming out of the 2012 draft better than any of our knuckleheads in the FO.
Next, follow Ram_Redemptions script. It looks very good to me. The Rams need either Dre Kirkpatrick or Morris Claiborne on this team bad. They are both much bigger and are faster than Hosley. Moreover, they are facing much better competition on a weekly basis than Hosley is with the Hokies who didn’t look real great against one of their tougher opponents all year in Clemson. Claiborne also returns kicks. He has already had 105 yard return this year. The bloggers are drooling over Claiborne and Tyrann Mathieu at LSU. Claiborne had more picks than Peterson last season as a Sophmore. Plenty of wide receivers available in the 2nd round. Grab Woods if he is available. Remember, there will be plenty of WR1’s available in free agency next year. If we are able to trade our high pick and get another 2nd rounder I would opt for one of the Lewis LB’s at Oklahoma or David DeCastro OG from Stanford.
You clearly lose all credibility by saying we should take woods
Cause he is a true sophomore. Second, no not taking a guy who has no shot at a college title as my head coach. 3rd, clearly we are never gonna come to our senses and add a commodity like a stud reciever in free agency
by King Sam Rules! on Oct 3, 2011 7:30 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Hosley is faster thank Kirkpatrick, and I think he might be faster than Claiborne
plus neither is a better prospect than Jeffery, and neither will be available in the second, therefore I drafted Jeffery and Hosley. Mathieu is a true sophomore. Plenty of recievers may be available in the second round, but Jeffery is special talent that we won’t be able to find in free agency.

Woods will not
be a second rounder. That guy has first round talent written ALL over him, top to bottom. And yes, he’s still just a true soph.

Janzen Jackson would be a STEAL any round past the 4th..
I live here in Knoxville and was very disappointed when he left the team. He has first round talent, just has to keep his personal life in check. Would be very happy if this draft panned out this way.

Tackle and OLB can be addressed through FA.

Alshon looks stronger and bigger in size. But Blackmon has better breakaway ability.
Blackmon looks more like Dez Bryant than Alshon does. Blackmon can run a kickoff back for a TD, Alshon isn’t fast enough. However, I love Alshon because he takes no crap when going for the ball. He flat out takes it away from you, and in the Red Zone, Sam would love this. Ala Calvin Johnson! We can’t miss with either one of these two.
But it may come down to breakaway ability which we need desperately, to score from anywhere on the field.
I don't think Blackmon's breakaway ability
is so good that it makes him a better fit for this offense than Alshon
Turf Show Times writer and a pround rams fan. Follow me on twitter @jmwehrle
Alshon averages over 17 yards per catch
with Garcia as his quarterback. He may not have Blackmon’s speed, but he can still burn you. Seriously, this perception that speed = deep threat is really getting on my nerves in today’s NFL lol. What happened to good ol’ route runners getting by you every time?

Sorry.......my bad on
Woods but all of us do like to speculate that all the high end Juniors are coming out as well which although eligible may or may not come out. Jeffery certainly has all the size attributes but it is a bit tough to know just how good he can be cause Garcia sucks so bad. It it just so much easier to find a quality WR in free agency versus a quality corner and you don’t have to overspend in the process.
Garcia sucks so bad...
and he still had 1,517 yards on just 88 catches last year. Honestly, how is that not proof enough? And so much for people thinking he’s not a deep threat. Like it has been proven over and over and over again, you don’t need blazing fast speed to be a deep threat. Alshon will be GOOD.

First pick I like but
Second round we need to go after an OLB. Then maybe a CB in the third if Bartel is not ok
Hosley is a better prospect than any OLB outside of Zach Brown,
who will be a first round pick. The law of BPA requires that I take Hosley lol

How many times will the ranking change from now and then? If their are no OLBs worthy I would look at DT in the 2nd round.
I endorse anything putting Hosley to the Rams
If you’ve ever looked at Brandon Flowers and said “hmmm, I like how physical he is but I’d trade some of that just to make him a true, island-type, cover corner” then Hosley’s your man. Brandon Flowers is very close to Hosley (though they didn’t play together) and actually persuaded him to go to Virginia Tech because of the success most DB’s have when developing in Blacksburg.
However, I’m not sure Hosley will be available at the top of the 2nd. If Hosley weighs in at 180-185 (like I think he will) and runs a low 4.4 high 4.3 (like I think he will) then the CB rankings might go Kirkpatrick, Hosley, Dennard, Claiborne, Gilmore, Jenkins. Plenty of football left, but I like where your heads at :)
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.
-Mark Twain
I think he will weigh in a little less than that
and teams will be stupid enough to fall in love with the other corners size advatages over him, letting him fall to the second. At least I hope that happens lol

That's way too deep
of a cornerback draft, very legit chance Hosley falls behind at least 3 of them.

it depends who is picking where in the top 10
probably no highger than number three, and no lower than number 10. I think he probably goes around pick 5

is exactly who I think of when I see Hosley too, just a pure ballhawk. We need Alshon Jeffery. I’m tired of being jealous every time I see a Lions highlight reel and see Stafford just half ass a pass up for CJ to get in double coverage and he does. Every time…

it’s getting to me this year too
watching fitz, megatron, bryant, etc. answering prayers thrown up by their qb’s is making me insanely jealous this year

Oh 3k.. as much as I love your draft insight

But I agree, soooo much changes between now and the draft…and the combine; it seems almost pointless, except to introduce us to the players (hell, a bunch of players won’t even come out of school)

No offensive line help?
I like the Chris Rainey pick, but we seriously need some help on the offensive line. Tackle and Guard both need to be fixed.

They won't,
not during the game. Remember, they didn’t even show Amendola’s replay and that wasn’t nearly as bad as what you described.

Need a Running Back
We need to draft Jackson’s replacement in Round 2.
Hosley too good to pass in my opinion.
Doug Martin round 3?

Like I said before this group of players are terrible to watch & sam bradford is no ones savior! This season is so over & I for one am tired of seeing this group play especially with who they have starting at key positions! I love this blog because its for ram guys & the team ! But uhm we dont have a team & we play like trash week in & week out! A lot of those “realistic” fans are no longer around to voice there issues mainly because their tired and sick to their stomach’s! 1Ex: Ramchop! Its been real but I refuse to chat up weekly about the same shit! Lost after lost & some of u lames who for sum reason see no wrong in bradford! Get off his jock long enough to evaluate his performance! I’m tapping out for this miserable season because this “group” FAR FROM A TEAM hurts my already sensitive eyes! Catch u realistic ram fans in the off season! Deuces!

Great Call On Kendall Wright
He has been very productive for Baylor and is a consistent playmaker. Not too many folks are talking about Janzen Jackson. He is a great FS. I watched him play next to Eric Berry. Jackson is fast as blazes. He lays the wood as well. Kawann Short is a talent without much talent around him. Nice work.
lol me too
that would be a great job
Turf Show Times writer and a pround rams fan. Follow me on twitter @jmwehrle
Only thing I would like is Blacknmon
I know Jeffery has more size but I just like Blackmon a lot for some reason, Reminds me of a Anquan Boldin type guy, but I would still take Jeffery no doubt. Otherwise I really like it. This would probably be one of the best case scenarios to me.
but the thing is
would you spend a top 5-10 pick on the next Anquan Boldin? I would much rather take the upside of Jeffery. Oh, and thank you lol
Turf Show Times writer and a pround rams fan. Follow me on twitter @jmwehrle
You Know It's Fun
When we get to argue over two great players. I think either would make a great selection. I have Blackmon rated higher because of his quickness, route running, and explosiveness. I think he is more Issac Bruce than Anquan Boldin. Kendall Wright with either Blackmon or Jefferey is a win win.
There's a lot of comments on here about positions not addressed
I say, that’s the problem. We had too many positions the last 3 drafts to address them all. And after 3 drafts, we still need, in no particular order, a CB, a #1WR, a RBotF, at least 1 DT if not 2, a guard, soon a center, an OT, at least 1 TE, a Safety and 2 OLBs. Thats 13-15 guys. If you judge buckeyes draft here on positions not addressed or on which positions he addressed, your missing the point. Our FO has failed us.
I voted for it because any of us can outperform the current front office on draft day these days. I used to look forward to draft day, or draft weekend, as it is. Now I dread it, if we have the same guys are in charge of it this eyar I doubt I’ll even watch it.

Ram's Needs
In the 2012 Draft, there seems to be an abundance of depth at WR, LB, and CB. IMO The Rams would do well to focus on these three areas. I beleive that there is enough talent in this draft to improve the defensive back seven; partcularly at LB. Ronnel Lewis is playing out of position at DE. He has been productive at DE; but his fort’e is OLB. Danny Trevathan from Kentucky has played great on a not so great team. He has performed well against some of the best teams in The SEC. Sean Spence has been knocked because of his size and that scandal at Miami; but the kid can play. He makes plays and is a tremendous hitter. These guys also bring speed to the defense. At CB Cliff Harris from Oregan is a guy that can cover and return punts. He had 4 returns for TD’s last year.
The 1st 2 rounds are offensive players period.
Blackmon or Jeffrey in the 1st and in the 2nd the best available offensive player regardless of position except TE. That means guard, center, receiver or RB.
I don’t think you guys understand how ridiculously important it is to build around Bradford. He needs at least 2 more drafts dedicated to him.
I think I will do 1 of these
I do them all the time in my head every time one of the sites changes theirs.

can agree on the Jeffery pick
in fact it will be really close between Jeffery & Balckmon, and to be honest, I don’t care which one of the two will be our n1 receiver, we just need one. For the rest I did not follow college football enough to get a clean opinion on those picks, but I do believe only one WR, a true n1 then, will suffice.
Go RAMS!!
i dont like it
lol i do see where ur coming from… our secondary looks bad and we definately need a wr…. but i think blackmon is the guy… and a cb for depth… we got good starters… if bartell was healthy… so i say 1 blackmon… 2 an olb … 3 cb… 4 rb… for some reason around round 3 seems like we usually get decent cb help… and 4 is definately not too late to get a valuable rb then 5 get a safety… did anybody see how many were left around this round or even udfa this past year? or we could go the other route… draft all offense and get defensive fill ins in free agency until the next draft…. blackmon.. og… ot… rb…. (rb cuz although we have two really good ones… like everyones saying… they ARE getting older) g cuz bell will most likely be gone.. tackle cuz jason smith sux donkey dick… or visa versa … 1… olb or dt… 2 olb or dt… 3 olb lol ( we do need 2 of em but leber would suffice if need be) or cb in the 3rd… then free safety in the 4th then bpa … with going all one side of the ball i actually feel like we would actually improve lol… and maybe regress a lil on the other side depending on our fa pickups but that would only be for a year.. til next draft… this way we could also pay more attention to certain positions instead of all… AND have the time for researchin which players would play good with whoever we get or already have and last but not least… fuck bpa until after we get wat we need… technically yes we are still rebuilding… every team is thats wat the draft is for dummies lol… anyways lets fill our needs with young talented players who we can keep instead of letting go to the redskins… atogwe… carriker…. fletcher… and im not sure bout this one but archuleta too rite? lol look at pittsburgh… i think its like 3 players they didnt draft that played with em in the superbowl? how is this possible u ask?… they draft ALL good players that they WILL need for the future.. not guys like salas that they knew would most likely be gone by yr 3.. i do like him tho so lets hope he proves me wrong lol… although hes not making to much of a case for himself rite now…. well i just realised… i went on a long ass rant there lol so im out
holy hell, ramat
Hook me up with a paragraph break or two!

Rainey won't be a 5th round pick
1st or 2nd to the raiders guaran-fucking-tee it
No way in the first I think,
but with the year he is having, I wouldn’t count second to the Raiders out lol.

Looking at the sheer number of needs (we still have)
it would really, really help if Bartell could come back healthy.
Nice mock though, buckeye. However, taking a WR in the 4th again just brings back too many painful memories. Double up with Alshon and Dwight Jones in the first two rounds and then get a development CB in the 4th, or another DT.
