D & S Sports Mock Draft

[BlackMetalNinja]

Devin (Rockstar36) and myself (Scott) have posted our Mock Draft for the entire first round over at our website, D & S Sports Report. Head on over to check it out and feel free to comment. We each made every selection in the first round, and we only have a handful of picks turning out the same, so I'm sure many of you will certainly disagree with some of what we have. We'd like to hear your opinions, so lay them on us!

Taking Aaron Maybin makes me sad.

[kernowboy]

The good, the bad, and the ugly :)

[kid mickey]

It is really a poor choice in my opinion. You pass on Brown to get Maybin. Before the Peters trade I was all for Brown. Even though I thought it would be a reach, but Maybin is even more of reach at this selection.

[BlackMetalNinja]

The thing with all those DE/OLB hybrids is it all depends on what person you talk to as to who is the superior player. I think, based on both the Buffalo picks I have in the first round, Maybin would be the better fit than Brown in that situation. I figure most people will jump all over me for nothing having taken an OL with either pick.

[Jan Reimers]

Maybin? With Brown, Raji and Oher still on the board?

[BlackMetalNinja]

Maybin? With Brown, Raji and Oher still on the board?I can't speak for Devin, but Raji is off the board in mine... I already explained Maybin over Brown, and while I think Oher will be enticing, I think the Bills won't view him as being worth the 11 pick, so they'll take Mabyin there.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I would take Maybin. ANYONE THAT CAN GET TO THE QB.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Corey, was the picture really necessary?? I've been and will continue to be gone for various reasons really, but figure'd this was something I'd like to share and get opinions on here. I'm actually surprised most of the focus has been on the Maybin pick so far and not the 2nd pick.. interesting.

[THATHURMANATOR]

Yes it was necessary.

The second pick is really a toss up. I am for getting someone to rush the passer.

I don't know all that much about English or Britton.

[kernowboy]

Agreed, I think if we are going to go for a LB at #28 it should be a LB out of college not a hybrid having to be coached a new position. I don't see the Vikings taking Laurinaitis with a bundle tied up in EJ Henderson and would see him for to #28 where he can replace Ellison.

But with Maybin I think he can only be on the field instead of Schobel whilst I see Brown being on the field with Schobel

I don't know all that much about English or Britton.I think Britton would be a real good pick for us at 28, but I already have him gone at that point. He's got real good size and played both tackle spots at Arizona, starting at right and moving to left last year. He's probably the 5th or 6th best Tackle in the draft and I'd love it if he fell to 28 and we could get him. He got a 31 on the Wonderlic and was a Creative Writing major, so the intelligence is there, I think the ability is as well.

But with Maybin I think he can only be on the field instead of Schobel whilst I see Brown being on the field with SchobelI considered Laurinaitis at 28 pretty heavily, but I like English and he's been climbing charts left and right, with him still on the board, I couldn't pass him up there. Good point about Maybin, but I think he's a situation rusher at best for a year or two right now anyways, I don't like most of the DEs in this draft as every down, all around players unfortunately.

Scott I changed so you wouldn't be mad with me.

[Dr. Lecter]

why

I am always worried about the one year wonder guys who are workout warriors. His weight gain, going from 230 to 250 so quickly scares me. His smallish frame scares me.

And the fact that Oher, Brown, Raji are still available Jenkins makes me sadder. I like all more than I do Maybin. I see Maybin as being a bust.

I have no problem with English that late in the first, although I prefer Mack or Britton. But English is OK.

[BlackMetalNinja]

I have no problem with English that late in the first, although I prefer Mack or Britton. But English is OK.I considered Mack too, but I think there are a couple of Centers close in talent level, so we could grab one with our 2nd. I assume if we draft a Center, that moves Hangartner to LG... still need an LT obviously though.

[BlackMetalNinja]

So is everybody still ok with going DE at 11, or is an OL now a must, regardless of how much of a reach it is?

[THATHURMANATOR]

I will be pissed if we go OL at 11.

[SABURZFAN]

I will be pissed if we go OL at 11.


i wouldn't.

[BlackMetalNinja]

I will be pissed if we go OL at 11.It absolutely depends on who is still there to me... and the ones I would be ok with, will almost undoubtedly be gone. Oher is the one that will probably be there, but I think that's just a touch early for him. If that's how it falls, I much rather get one of the better pass rushers, some of which will surely still be available then and try to land something for the OL at 28 or with the 2nd round. I'd be really happy if Britton or Beatty were still on the board for us at 28... I also don't think that's going to happen though. OT is definitely the hot spot in this draft and I think 3 go in the Top 10 and 6 go in the 1st Round.

It would just piss me off so much that they created this OT need and we can't address the #1 concern which IMO is pass rush. I honestly would be fine with Walker at LT and Bell or Chambers at right for the time being. Possibly grab another Tackle later on.
