Todd McShay's 1st NFL Mock Draft

[CatMan72]

Blackmon + Smitty = :cam:

[bleys]

Too early to make predictions. I like Blackmon, and I wouldn't complain, but we NEED a DT. BAD.

drafting a DT isn't going to show immediate results...

[CatMan72]

Yeah, he have enough young DT's at this point... Ron Edwards will be back and our rookies will have a year of experience under their belt, plus we've found two solid rotation guys in Neblett and Shirley.

Trent Richardson, 4th overall pick?

:lol:

Damn, McShay is a dumbazz.

[tiger7_88]

Interesting but I hope we go defense. I'd rather trade down and pick up and extra 2nd.

Trading down and picking up Mark Barron in the second half of the 1st round would be nice.

[tiger7_88]

jarvis jones said he's going back to school.

Yeah, so did Baby Kalil.

Ain't nothin' fo' sho' 'til the deadline passes.

And if Jarvis Jones gets a 1st round grade, he'd be stupid to go back to school.

First of all, no way Blackmon falls to #9. NO WAY that happens. We won't even have the option. Claiborne has got to be the #1 guy on our list. If he goes, Kirkpatrick is the guy. If neither of them are available then fug it, I don't know what to do.

Kirkpatrick as a top ten pick would be a huge waste. He's a good player, but not a Top Ten talent. Look past the Saban "aura" and you'll see that he hasn't put very many starting QBs in the league. As a matter of fact, the Bama corners that have been drafted lately tend to struggle (see: Kareem Jackson).

Unfortunately there is a 0% chance we get him without trading up. I think only three teams(Colts, Rams, Vikings) are 100% guaranteed to pick before us, and each of them are definitely hurting on the OL. If the draft order ends up being 1) Colts, 2) Rams, 3) Vikings.. there is a realistic possibility that Luck, Kalil, and Blackmon are all gone before the 4th team picks :(

I would trade up like a mo-fo to get Kalil.

[MWCarolina]

Good mock except i dont know if Blackmon falls so far (see him being a Jaguar) and dont see Washington passing on Barkley for RG3

[pantherj]

I would trade up like a mo-fo to get Kalil.

I want Kalil as well, but I think finding a trading partner will be next to impossible unless we make an incredible offer.

McShay's mock draft is pretty much summed up once you look at his Detroit Lions' pick. He have them taking another running back, with Montee Ball still on the board. What!?! No way do you overlook a guy who scored 32 rushing TDs and is incredibly healthy. Another blunder is he has the Eagles taking Luke Kuechly over Vontaze Burfict. I think if we trade down, we could take a look at Burfict to play OLB. (I'm not impressed at all with this OLB class)

All we can hope for when it comes to Kalil, is for Barkley and Robert Griffin III to look more amazing than Luck in their final games and combine. Then teams like the Redskins and others picking behind us swoop in and pick at 1-3. We should be picking 5-6.

I think we pick closer to 10-11

Seeing the offense click the last few weeks, plus the addition of David Gettis and Gary Barnidge...drafting a WR is Detroit Lions stoopid.

Matt Kalil or Def BPA whichever is available.
