Kurb Mock 3.0

[Kurb]

We'll call this "Trying to predict a trade mock" I'm going to try and predict a couple trades and some FA moves, which is really just virtual masturbation with draft stuff.

I want to add these tiny bits of info first.

Free Agent signing DT "HelloKitty" Garay from San Diego. I think he is a Rivera guy. We'll see. This could really improve the DT spot, allow the Fua/McClain connection more time to grow, and generally make the world a better place. It also opens up tons of draft options.

On to the draft.

I am a big fan of trading back this year. For a couple reasons. 1) We could use the bodies/talent all over the defense. 2) at 8/9 the Super Impact guys could very well be gone. 3) Im always a fan of trading back vs trading up.

With that said....

The Trade. In 2007 we did a pretty good trade back with the JETS Linky They moved 11 spots and sent us 1st , 2nd and 5th. One could argue that draft picks are more valuable now than they were then. But for the sake of this Mock draft I'm going to use that as a template.

So lets trade with the Bengals this time (b/c all the kids are doing it) JETS could want to trade up as well for a 3-4 DE (brockers could do this disturbingly well) or a Right Tackle .

Bengals send 1st, 2nd, 5th to Carolina we send them our 1st and fug I dunno a 6th.

This would give us a 1st (17), Two 2nds, 4th, Two 5ths, and 7th round pick. and Im guessing a couple 6th's/7th's for Comp picks (King/Marshall/etc)

Round 1: Dre Kirkpatrick CB Bama

I have not been a big Kirkpatrick guy for awhile now. Alas, my moods and opinions change with more info. To me Kirkpatrick is similar to Gamble, perhaps a bit more athletic. I like him a lot more at 17 than I did at 8/9. Cant deny the level of athlete he has had success against as well.

Round 2: Vinny Curry DE Marshall

High motor, good production, Solid all around. Some rumors he could be snagged by the Titans in the first are troublesome, if so add any DE prospect you wish here.

Round 2: Markelle Martin, FS Oklahoma State

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1619949/markelle-martin

Sherrod Martin needs to be pushed for his job. I still think the guy can play, but something needs to push him. Markelle Martin has been know as a gamer, I can dig that. I believe he could beat out Sherrod for a starting spot.

Round 4: Chris Rainey Rb/Kr/Pr/St'er///////////

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1273191/chris-rainey

yes in the 4th I'm thinking more and more that a dedicated ST return/beast guy. Its a huge weak spot on this team.

Round 5: Tyler Nielsen, OLB

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1243706/tyler-nielsen

Stole this one from some others here. While I dont want an early LB pick, these late guys who are solid athletes and ready to be coached up fill a couple of needs. Depth and Solid Special Team Additions.

Round 5: Nate Potter OT Boise State

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1274379/nate-potter

He needs to gain some muscle mass and get coached up. But kid is versatile and has played some Guard. I like project O-lineman in this area of the draft.

Round 7 Drew Butler P Georgia

he punts

Will pretty it up with pictures for those of you who cant read and bolding of words to make it look more important.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Hah, I had this as a rough draft too. Now that I see it, I like this way better than what I did.

[4Corners]

[jtnc]

No, still don't want Kirkpatrick. But the others are good.

[Kurb]

Eh make it Janoris Jenkins if it makes you happy.

[stirs]

Good effort with the crystal ball we all know as the offseason.

There are a couple of "ifs" for me, not saying they are wrong, but I have heard the Kirkpatrick might have to go to safety at the next level

Curry has gained a lot of weight at the end of the season but is normally quite a bit lighter.

No issues after that. Agree with the Nielson kid. He is headed to the combine and cannot wait to see if he checks out.

Didn't notice the trade down scenario, me likes.

[Munch4455]

Now that Dre Kirk's possession charge has been dropped, I think he will be back up the boards, he wouldnt be there at 21. I would like janoris jenkins at that pick, however after the combine its likely he will be rated the same or better as dre kirk. I would perfer Dline, OLB or OL at 21 if we had that pick. The draft is so deep with CB's, Dennard, Gilmore, Boykin, Minnifield, and Hosley would all be good picks with either of the second round picks. Wouldnt mind OLB Zack Brown, OG Cordy Glenn, RT Mike Adams, DE Whitney Mercilus or even NT Dontari Poe(But only if RR really plans on converting to a 3-4). And if he does want to transition to a 3-4, the Curry is a must with our first pick of the second round.

[HeatCheck]

I would like Jenkins over Kirkpatrick but if he by chance he is gone then I guess I could live with Dre.

Love the second round picks.

[jtnc]

I really, really, really, really want Chris Rainey, damn I want him so bad.

Will pretty it up with pictures for those of you who cant read and bolding of words to make it look more important.

thanks. i refuse to put any effort into reading something that doesn't look pretty and important.

i'll come back later after you've fixed this and tell you that if we pick up garay i'm fine with missing out on brockers and that i'd be fine with kirkpatrick (even though i like jenks better), that vinny curry and and martin would be awesome in the 2nd. i'll probably also tell you that i love chris rainey to help with special teams and think he adds a huge weapon on offense and i'm a big fan of nielsen, esp. in coverage handling big TEs.

you'll just have to wait on that until you fix that crap, though.

[iskassim06]

Eh make it Janoris Jenkins if it makes you happy.

It pleases me now

Does it bother anyone that Curry is listed and played in the 240-245 lb range at Marshall? Everyone was afraid that he would be too light to play DE in pros but he showed up at 265 lbs at Senior Bowl. Question is, will he be able to perform at the same high level after adding 25?
