Complements to DraftBoy
IMO, he's produced the best Mock Draft yet, and if it turned out like this I would cheer the roof off
R1 Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie CB. 6ft1, 184lbs, 4.28 for the 40
Ok not at the top of the list of needs, but an elite CB never hurts even in the Cover2 defence. Even the Colts have used R1 picks for this position. A toss up between the best CB but DRC is both the tallest and the fastest, which cannot hurt when you have a small secondary in a league of increasingly taller WRs
R2 Erin Henderson LB. 6ft2, 244lbs, 4.73
The LB upgrade. Had a very good season plus performed well at the combine
R3a Dre Moore DT. 6ft4, 305lbs, 4.88 (that's correct)
One of the reasons our R2 did so well. Also displayed considerable strength at the combine and literally hammered West Virginia during the season. Ask Owen Schmitt how good he is? He's a 1-Tackle so could easily pair up with McCargo and start from Day1.
R3b Martellus Bennett TE. 259lbs, 4.69
Not a combine workout warrior, but more than competent and one of the best sized TEs, almost as big as Cottram
Now if we are lucky enough to pick up Adarius Bowman WR who after the Combine is likely to have fallen to the fourth but will be a steal and a potential Day1 starter, I think this draft, if it were to pan out would be the best since 2001 when we got Clements, Schobel, Henry, Edwards, Jennings and Spoon in the first 4 rounds.
In fact, I would say it would be better with 5 starters. I don't think our offense is as bad as people think. We have a good OL, a very good backfield and all we really have missed out on is height in the receivers. Adding a 6ft6 TE and a 6ft3, 223lbs WR, who usually has good hands, with a productive record and a tough blocker downfield will do wonders for the offence, and upgrading all three Defensive units, means they'll have more time on the field to develop their skills.
