According to numerous reports, the quarterbacks, Blaine Gabbert from Missouri and Cam Newton from Auburn, are moving up in the estimation of NFL personnel people. Most of these teams near the top of the draft have quarterback needs. If Gabbert or Newton wins over any of them, they’re going to be drafted very high.
The Eagles are going to have to wait and see who is left amongst the offensive tackles and guards available in this draft. I believe they’re going to get a good football player, but they want to get a player who can play a couple of positions.
Here’s the way I see things working out at this point.
1. Carolina Panthers – Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri
2. Denver Broncos – Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama
3. Buffalo Bills – Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
4. Cincinnati Bengals – A.J. Green, WR, Georgia
5. Arizona Cardinals – Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
6. Cleveland Browns – Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
7. San Francisco 49ers – Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU
8. Tennessee Titans – Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
9. Dallas Cowboys – Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
10. Washington Redskins – Cameron Jordan, DE, California
11. Houston Texans – Da’Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson
12. Minnesota Vikings – Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
13. Detroit Lions – Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
14. St. Louis Rams – Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois
15. Miami Dolphins – Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
16. Jacksonville Jaguars – Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri
17, New England Patriots – J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin
18. San Diego Chargers – Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
19. New York Giants – Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
21. Kansas City Chiefs – Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA
22. Indianapolis Colts – Tyron Smith, OT, USC
23. Philadelphia Eagles – Mike Pouncey, G/C, Florida
24. New Orleans Saints – Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor
25. Seattle Seahawks – Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College
26. Baltimore Ravens – Leonard Hankerson, WR, Miami
27. Atlanta Falcons – Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State
28. New England Patriots – Allen Bailey, DE, Miami
29. Chicago Bears – Ben Ijalana, OT, Villanova
30. New York Jets – Rahim Moore, S, UCLA
31. Pittsburgh Steelers – Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa
32. Green Bay Packers – Aaron Williams, CB, Texas
PLEASE for the love of all that is good and pure draft Pouncey
Looks pretty Good G, and especially thru the Top #25 Selections
I think from there it goes a little like this thru the 40th pick into the 2nd Round
#26) Ravens — CB Brandon Harris (Miami)
#27) Falcons — DE Adrian Clayborn (Iowa)
#28) NE Pats — OLB/DE Justin Houston (Georgia)
#29) Bears — OT Derreck Sherrod (Miss State)
#30) NY Jets — DT Mohammed Wilkerson (Temple)
#31) Steelers — DT Steve Paea (Oregon St)
#32) Packers — DE Curtis Heyward (Ohio State)
Round # 2
#33) NE Patriots — WR R Cobb (Kentucky)
#34) Buffalo Bills — S Rahem Moore (UCLA)
#35) Bengals — DE Aaron Bailey (Miami)
#36) Broncos — OLB Jeremy Beal (Oklahoma)
#37) Browns — WR Leonard Hankerson (Miami)
#38) EAGLES (trade w/Arizona for Kolb) CB – Aaron Williams (Texas)
#39) Titans — ILB Martez Wilson (Illinois)
#40) Cowboys — OT Demarcus Love (Arkansas)
#41) Redskins — C Steve Wisnewski (Penn State)
that’s it for now
Few issues with the mock. Charlotte Observer reported that Panthers don’t like Gabbert and believe he will struggle throwing outside the hashes and down the field. There are reports that the lions will absolutely NOT select jimmy smith if Prince Amukumara is not available citing major off the field concerns. I’m simply not convinced the eagles value C/G that high in the draft. I think they fall back and trade out but will go OT/DL with their first pick.
few issues with the mock – a) it’s pointless b) it’s all speculative c) see points a and b
If I was a GM, I don’t think any of these QB’s in the Draft (Gabberts,Newton,Locker) are worth beinh selected in the Top #15 Selections..
i would be shocked if no o lineman went before 18 , if this is the case the eagles got a shot at a decent pick maybe pouncey does fall to them . just take him. is carimi the only ol from wisc in the draft this year ? i thought that whole line was very good.
To nev856
John Moffitt (Guard) from Wisconsin is probably a 3rd Pick for someone and
is a very good player.
Paulman – You sure have a hard on for Wilkerson. Most so called experts have him in round 2 – 3. Also, I doubt we would trade kolb for only a 2nd round pick and for a guy who will probably have toi be moved to safety. If they want a safety, best get Rahem Moore. I think the jets would rather wait and getPhil Taylor (better fit).
Where did I say the Ealges would only get a 2nd Round for Kolb
I just went and continued G’s Mock Draft into the 2nd Round up to the #40 Seelction. I really think Kolb will be going nowehere and will remain an Eagle
thru 2011 and now with no CBA deal imminent, I am not sure there will even be football news anytime soon..
just an FYI to all the draftniks….CB Aaron Williams of Texas is overrated and not worth a 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick… He is terrible when covering speed players and an average tackler. Watch some games with him. He is not good. I see him going in round 4. I would take several QBs over him….Devon House, Curtis Marsh, Johnny Patrick etc…
meant CB’s
I agree with you Jott about CB’s Aaron WIlliams, & Brandon Harris and many other players in this draft about being overratedt.. The more I look and study the Skill Positions (DB/QB/RB/WR) the less I am impressed .. This is a very good draft for the DL/OL and if I was GM or worked for the Eagles F/O this is where I would concentrate the first 3-4 Rounds/Selections of the Draft
I am not sure that Fans understand the getting the 6th/7th Best ratesd OL/DL is a better choice than the 3rd/4th CB in terms of Talent and Upside..
At CB I really like the following players that I have checked out/into
Davon House –New Mexico 6- 1/2″ – 200lbs
Cortiz Allen — Citadel 6 -1 1/2″ – 200lbs
Jalil Brown — Colorado 6-1 – 205 lbs
Korey Lidsay — Southern Illinois 5-10″ – 190lbs
Richard Sherman — Stanford 6-2 – 195lbs
Jason Teague — TCU 6-2 190 lbs
I think all these players are as good as the #3 – 10th ranked CB’s with bigger names/reputations or from bigger schools..
These players above will be avaialbe 3rd thru 5th Round and will be some very good selections in these Rounds…
I think after CB’s Peterson & Prince Amakurama, which will both be gone within the 1st 10 Selections, that there is not a whole lot of Difference between the 3rd CB and the 15th CB.. Most of these players will not not be ready to Start in their Rookie Seasons and will be 2-3 Year players works in progress like most rookies are at any position… I just think better value for the players I listed that could be grabbed in the 4th/5th/6th Rounds and use the 1st 2-3 Runds to draft players along the Line of Scrimmage which is where the strength of this Draft really is..
Muhammad Wilkerson is a beast….sure he didnt play in the best conference, but he can play DT or DE in the 3-4…. he has a quick burst off the ball at 6-5 310 and can move for a big guy. The attribute that stands out is his ability to get to the QB…. you dont have many DT’s in the NFL that can consistently get to the QB and Muhammed has that ability.
I think a DT Tandem of Dixon (who I think will really flourish under DL Coach Washburn) and Wilkerson can be the cornestone of a Tough Eagle Defense in the middle for years to come.. I would really like them to grab him if he’s on board ar #23..
