I realize the draft is in over a month, but this is my last mock. Mainly because my opinions rarely change as I have seen everything I need to see by now. And if they do, I don't really feel like doing another one. No trades were involved in this one, but I would really like to trade down. I just know half the people will ask, 'why would they do that trade?' and don't want to deal with that.

1st Round

Janoris Jenkins, CB, N.Alabama

Arguably the best cover corner in this draft class. He has a track record for doing a great job against opposing team's top WR. He may be small but he makes up for that in his aggressive play in coverage and the run game. He isn't afraid to attack the ball carrier and his instincts are a plus. Many would say wait for a CB in the 2nd or the risk is too high, but I will make a thread closer to draft time detailing my case for Janoris.

2nd Round

Kendall Reyes, DT, UCONN

Was debating whether to pick Thompson or Reyes with this spot but one thing I noticed about Reyes that I liked, is his motor. He always looks like he is working to get to the ball regardless of where it is in relation to him. Also noticed that he does a good job of holding his ground, even if he can't get to the QB. This will come in handy when defending the run. Very versatile player and you can line him up all over the line.

4th Round

James-Michael Johnson, ILB, Nevada

The good thing about JMJ is that he has played both middle and outside linebacker at Nevada. This versatility adds value to this pick because you never now when he'll have to step in for either Beason or Davis. Praying that they recover fine but it's better to be safe than sorry. Noticed he is very instinctive and has a nose for the ball.

5th Round

Jake Bequette, DE, Arkansas

We lacked pressure on the QB this year and both the DEs and DTs were to blame. Bequette brings a high motor and ability to pressure the QB. He only played 9 games this year but had 8 sacks. He is also solid in run defense. If I recall, he was the Defensive-MVP of the Cotton Bowl.

6th Round

Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma

I have previously admitted that he is product of the system at OU but a great receiver nonetheless. It sucks that the injury has downgraded his stock this much but this would be a great value pick, if he is still sitting here. Looks like he would fit the slot receiver pretty well as he turns small crossing routes into big gains with his quickness.

7th Round

Christian Thompson, FS/SS, SC State

Former Auburn player and converted LB, Thompson ended up on SC State's football team in 2009. He is an intriguing prospect that at the least could find himself on special teams. Very good athlete that is also powerful enough to bring down TEs. Still raw but that is to be expected of a 7th rounder.

Love the draft, although I don't wanna take a DT. Harrison smith would be good in the second. But I would love this draft regardless

harrison smith or my preferance is markelle martin from oklahoma state, but nice draft

Great draft for us. But rather have Harrison smith. Depending on how Harrison turns out we could have an elite secondary. Janoris and gamble shutting it down. Godfrey stacking the box and Harrison playing cover. Then with everybody coming back and our rookie DT's having a year under their belt we would be alright on D.

Would be even sweeter if Barron falls to us in the second. I'm gonna be happy regardless

Not a big fan....would rather take CB in the 2nd. There is a ton of value there.

Still think it is DE/LB in first and CB in 2nd.

[SOJA]

don't know much about the DT so I can't really comment, but UCONN isn't historically a great school for producing NFL caliber talent

cue someone posting a famous UCONN player

I do think the CB position is deep and can find value in the 2nd but the combo of Jenkins and Reyes would have been better than any combo I could think of even if I waited for a CB in the 2nd and picked DL in the 1st.

I personally don't think we take another DT.

I would rather see Coples/Ingram/Kuechly and then Gillmore/Hosely

Draft was ok but definite Rep for the self awareness. I may be taking this out of context but I find this funny as hell.

Love the draft but would go OLB before MLB.
