GCobb.com Mock Draft 3

If Cam Newton puts on a great NFL Combine performance, he could vault up the boards, but he’s not helping himself by telling people he considers himself an “entertainer and an icon”. Still I hear that he’s likely to blow the scouts away with his performance. I also hear that the Bills are leaning toward drafting him.

Marcell Dareus of Alabama is gaining more and more traction because he was consistently productive throughout his career at Alabama. Personnel people want to be able to go to sleep and know that somebody they draft at the top of the first round is going to always put forth their best effort.

Robert Quinn of North Carolina has been off everybody’s minds because he didn’t play this year because of a suspension for getting involved with an agent. He’s capable of blowing the scouts away at the NFL Combine.

In this draft, I have the Eagles grabbing their big cornerback Jimmy Williams of Colorado. He would be the answer for all of the big talented wide receivers in the NFC East. They would need to him to start in his first season.

Here’s the way I see things working out at this point.

1. Carolina Panthers – Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn

2. Denver Broncos – Marcell Dareus, DE, Alabama

3. Buffalo Bills – Cam Newton, QB, Auburn

4. Cincinnati Bengals – A.J. Green, WR, Georgia

5. Arizona Cardinals – Von Miller, OLB/DE, Texas A&M

6. Cleveland Browns – Robert Quinn, OLB/DE, North Carolina

7. San Francisco 49ers – Da’Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson

8. Tennessee Titans – Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri

9. Dallas Cowboys – Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska

10. Washington Redskins – Cameron Jordan, DE, California

11. Houston Texans – Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU

12. Minnesota Vikings – Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois

13. Detroit Lions – Tyron Smith, OT, USC

14. St. Louis Rams – Julio Jones, WR, Alabama

15. Miami Dolphins – Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama

16. Jacksonville Jaguars – J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin

17, New England Patriots – Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa

18. San Diego Chargers – Nate Solder, OT, Colorado

19. New York Giants – Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue

21. Kansas City Chiefs – Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin

22. Indianapolis Colts – Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State

23. Philadelphia Eagles – Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado

24. New Orleans Saints – Muhammad Wilkerson, NT, Temple

25. Seattle Seahawks – Ben Ijalana, OT, Villanova

26. Baltimore Ravens – Aaron Williams, CB, Texas

27. Atlanta Falcons – Allen Bailey, DE, Miami

28. New England Patriots – Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State

29. Chicago Bears – Mike Pouncey, G/C, Florida

30. New York Jets – Alton Smith, DE, Missouri

31. Pittsburgh Steelers – Brendan Harris, CB, Miami

32. Green Bay Packers – Rahim Moore, S, UCLA

Interesting – most other Mocks have us picking an OT in 1st round. I think we need a CB more.

Your on a wicked pace here for Mocks G! Like it though. If the CBA isn’t figured out by the draft then what I’m hearing that is really going to put a damper on FA. So if thats the case, got to like the pick you have with CB Smith. If everything is sorted out though, I’d rather seen us attack CB through FA and build up our OL through the draft.

Prince Amukamara gets picked before Patrick Peterson? OK first off , Your wrong. But ill play your Game. If this happens the Eagles better move all the way up the draft board to grab Peterson. Because no one is that dumb to let a man with that much talent go for that price.

I really don’t think these QBs are going to drop that far this year. The Panthers, Bengals, and 49ers need a QB way more then any other position. Its very unlikely to me that Gabbert won’t be selected 1st overall. I also think Cam Newton will be gone by pick 3.

With all that movement on QBs early, I think Bowers n Quinn can really drop in this draft and then we see the Eagles move up to get one of them.

Wish we could jump in front of Dallas and grab one of those two CBs. Maybe with a new CBA, we could trade Kolb to Arizona, SF, or Tenn.

It is very possibly for Peterson to drop. I have heard from a couple scouts that Peterson is a better fit at S. Safeties don’t generally go in the top 10, so I could see him fall, and be picked after Prince, but I don’t really think he will get picked out of the top 10.

Also, there is no way the Eagles not only TRADE UP to draft ANOTHER DE in the 1st round, but I don’t even see them doing it, sticking in the spot they are currently at.

Also, I would love Jimmy Smith to be drafted by the Eagles. It is quite possible that he could be the best CB in this draft. I think he is comparable to the top 2. With that being said, I don’t see him falling that far down.

I would like to see the birds get Heyward or Pouncey with their first pick. Both should be there, and both have an NFL pedigree.

Pouncey would be a nice pick.

If we can move into the top 10 grab best player available. I will say this: Cam Newton will be another Kordell Stewart. Wait and see.

Can’;t agree Navy. Assuming Kolb gets traded, need for protecting Vick is paramount. I’m a Pouncey fan, but not sure the King is the answer for Vick’s blind side, so maybe best OT might be the pick. But if they get a 1 for Kolb, maybe could get a corner and a OL stud

Bejing – how ya doing. Won’t hurt my feelings a bit if they take an OT – just about ebery other mock has the guy they are comparing to Runyan (I think from Wisc) From what I read about Pouncey he is supposed to be outstanding… maybe draft him as a center and move McGlynn to RG? Depends on where JAckson is and now Justice getting knee surgery. The more I ithink about it though. The more I want LBs. Draft a stud WLB, Put the 2nd year guy at MLB and move Bradley over to SLB…

I would like to see what the Eagles do this year in continuing their “Reno Mahe” type player plan. The Skier Jeremy Bloom with one highlight clip to man our kick return spot didn’t work years back, but to have that Reno Mahe with sure hands on the roster gave us much needed value.

Following that success we had to follow up with a “Reno Mahe” clone by the name of “Private Chad Hall”.

Another “High Motor” type guy with character who is grateful to have a job and will empty spit buckets between quality reps.

These type guys are premiums for a team and there’s a number of them projected as undrafted rookies.

They already have SOngs..
Remember they signed WR/KR SIniorice Moss (formerly of the GIants) and coming off Surgery and Injuries but will battle for the return man/5th WR with the “Great White Hope” that is Chad Hall

Hey Songs, the reason we didn’t win a superbowl was Mahe those years, bloom that year, and chad hall last year right? Chad Hall is at fault for letting the Packers score those points, the Vick pick and the Akers missed field goals right?

I’ll lay 3 to1 that our kick returner game rank with the worse again this year….Have we had a good kick returner since Brian Mitchell?

Ellis Hobbs was a very good KR before he started getting injured. Not so much at CB, but there’s your answer. I thought that JR Reed was very good at KR too while he stayed healthy….

You see , if Songs were the head coach, he would have predicted that the Leading KOR in the AFC (Hobbs) would injure his neck the following year, he also would have predicted that JR Reed would try and run from a dog and jump a fence a cut a nerve in his knee (and JR Reed was also being groomed to replace Dawkins – a queston SONGS frequently asks). See Songs is such a visionary that he fails to realize Mahe actually led the league in punt return average (remember a crazy dude by the name of Larry Marshall that used to return kicks for the Eagles – just ran straight ahead – no speed, led the league in return average) he just wasn;t ‘flashy’.

Bloom was actually an outstanding college return man, a phenominal athlete. HE was so good he went off and won Olympic skiing medals (how many of those you got SONGS). Shame the NCAA screwed the kid and wouldn’t let him play college football while he made money skiing. Chad Hall had a decent season last year – SONGS, how many NFL touchdown receptions you have brother? How many yards gained? Hall was also his college conference offensive player of the year (twice I think) – how many player of the year awards you have SONGS. Hall also has a college degree from the US Air Force Academy – I’ve read your writing and attempts at logical arguments, so I won’t even waste the rhetorical question………. but really, as a 4rth string RB and # 5 WR and part time special teamer – who else were you going to get?

I think we draft impact players this year ..and will draft accordingly….
If Peterson the kid from LSU or Smith from Colorado is there I would take’em….or I wouldn’t mind moving up and drafting the BC kid Castanzo

Yeah because the Eagles scoring an average of 25 points per game isn’t good enough? Kick returning is important when playing for field position in tight defensive games.

The Eagles the last 3 years have been one of the top offenses in the league and have no problems moving the ball. I would love to have Leon Washington as our KR but the fact is, its not exactly a priority like OT, CB, OG, or DE
