On this mock I’ll choose the player I think going to be taken at the spot, recap the players taken on others mock, add some other options and analysis
1.1 Jacksonville Jaguars – WR Dez Bryant
-Others Mocks Picks: WR Dez Bryant x3
-Options at the pick: CB Jerome Murphy
There’s top talent at almost all positions, but I believe the 2 most “Valuable” players are Bryant and Murphy, personally I would take Murphy as there’s multiple WR options BUT I think Brad giving a new target to Brohm. Brad replace WR Plaxico Burress and pair him with Osgood
1.2 Cincinatti Bengals - CB Jerome Murphy
Others Mocks Picks: MLB Pat Angerer – CB Jerome Murphy x2
-Options at the pick: MLB Pat Angerer – WR Taylor Price – HB Ryan Matthews – TE Jermaine Gresham – OL Rusell Okung
The Bengals are in restructure process, the GREAT news for GM Brady Tinnin is his contract still have multiple years and he got picks to work with in a fantastic draft class. The Bengals can get help at multiple positions, but key factor for them is they have other 3 1st to work with. Others positions have 2 or 3 top players, but CB position doesn’t seem too deep
1.3 Dallas Cowboys - LT Rusell Okung
Other Mocks Picks : LT Rusell Okung x3
Other Options at the pick: MLB Pat Angerer – WR Taylor Price – TE Jermaine Gresham – HB Ryan Matthews
I do have the Feeling cowboys won’t pull the trigger on Okung, yeah he’s an amazing player and I remember Will supporting the decision of Joe Thomas being picked before Calvin Johnson. But at least from my POV Cowboys could get another brilliant OL later on the draft.
1.4 Kansas City Chiefs – WR Taylor Price
Other Mocks Picks: Carlos Dunlap x2 – Jerome Murphy * Note the pick was traded to KC, so those picks were thinking at Falcons*
Other Options at the Pick: HB Ryan Matthews – TE Jermaine Gresham
The Chiefs going to play exactly the way the NFL Chiefs does. I can score more than you, and I don’t care how much you score on me. And that’s exactly what Peyton Manning does, he kills any kind of balance either running the ball or at defense but he gives TON on pass game yards/TD. If Justin Herr manage to put together Manning – Andre Jonhson + Taylor Price that offense will be something serious
1.5 Indianapolis Colts - CB Sam Shields
Other Mocks Picks: WR Brandon Lafell x 3
Other Options at the Pick: MLB Pat Angerer – WR Victor Cruz – WR Brandon Lafell – FS Eric Berry – DE Carlos Dunlap
The Colts need help at multiple positions, im sure CB Sam Shields comes as a surprise, but I believe Ian going to be able to grab solid players at late rounds in the other positions but CB. MLB Pat angerer comes as a solid Leon Williams replacement and bring a WR here could be nice but he can do that in next pick CB Shields is very smart and fast. His 5”11 are enough for play.
1.6 Carolina Panthers – LT Vladimir Duccase
Other Mocks Picks: LT Zane Beadless – FS Eric Berry – LT Trent Williams
Other Options: WR Victor Cruz – WR Brandon Lafell – TE Jermaine Gresham – LT Trent Williams
I do believe even with some big names on the board for defense the Panther need to become an offensive team, use the window Carr have as a progressed QB and give him the most weapons possible. On this case based on full necessity I would take a top OL as Duccase, that need AWR progression but that is good in everything else
1.7 Cincinatti Bengals – HB Ryan Matthews
Other Mocks Picks: WR Arrelius Benn – WR Victor Cruz – MLB – Pat Angerer
Other Picks Options: MLB Pat Angerer – WR Brandon Lafell – WR Victor Cruz – TE Jermaine Gresham
Pat angerer keeps falling, I wouldn’t be surprise if Brady takes him here, also Gresham seems a great talent- spot relation but I think Brady takes the best HB, I don’t think he’ll choose Mendenhall over Matthews and he needs to run the ball. His QB is raw and can’t depend on him to win the games. So taking the best HB seems as a solid move
1.8 New Orleans Saints – DE Carlos Dunlap
Other Mocks Picks: DE Jason Worilds – DE Carlos Dunlap – TE Jermaine Gresham
Other Options: TE Jermaine Gresham - OLB Keenan Clayton – FS Eric Berry – WR Brandon Lafell – WR Victor Cruz
I do believe the Saints wanted Matthews but after Bengals took him they go with the best DE of the class, I can also seen them taking TE Jermaine Gresham here or OLB Keenan Clayton for his 3-4 scheme. I see unlikely to them pick a WR but Lafell or Cruz wouldn’t be a bad choice
1.9 Seattle Seahawks – TE Jermaine Gresham
Other Mocks Picks: Keenan Clayton x3
Other Options: MLB Pat Angerer – OLB Keenan Clayton
On this Mock the Seahawks have a wonderful opportunity, they’ve grabbed HB – WR in recent drafts, now they take TE and become one of most dangerous offenses of the league. Rock have been able to make FB’s – short TE’s great, but he finally get the complete player he needed. LB here is an option but don’t think going to be the pick.
1.10 Detroit Lions – WR Victor Cruz
Other Mocks Picks: WR Mike Williams – QB Sam Bradford – WR Taylor Price
Other Options: OLB Keenan Clayton – TE Jimmy Graham – MLB Pat Angerer – WR Brandon Lafell
I do believe Victor Cruz is exactly the kind of WR that works on the game, fast at Speed – Acceleration, reminds me a lot to Andre Caldwell of Vikings. He can become Detroit #1 option once WR Reggie Wayne retires. Scott have multiple options of talent here, but I think his current roster needs a WR more than anything else
