Mock Draft

Normally I don't make mock drafts this early in the off-season but I figured I'd make one just to see how much it changes by the time we get to April.

Round 1

Sheldon Richardson, DT

Unlike Jonathon Hankins, Richardson played in the SEC and proved he belonged with some of the nation's best. I think he is the most NFL-ready DT in the draft besides Lotulelei. He is going to blow people away with his crazy athleticism in February which could cause his draft stock to rise. I doubt he rises above the 14th pick, but if he does, I wouldn't mind seeing us take either Hankins or fellow SEC prospect Jesse Williams. This is a position we have put off for too long and all three of these guys could make an immediate impact alongside Dwan.

Round 2

Dallas Thomas, OT

Jordan Gross is aging quick and with the chance we might have to cut him due to money, it is time we draft his replacement. In a dream situation Thomas can start his career at guard, a position he plays well, and eventually move outside to LT when Gross retires. Many think he could go earlier, but even if he does, one thing is for sure. We must go OL here.

Round 4

Tyrann Mathieu, CB

I don't think anyone knows where this guy will be drafted. I've seen him anywhere from 2nd-7th round. But if he is available here, he is definitely worth the gamble. Remember what happened with Janoris Jenkins?

Round 5

Sam Brenner, OG

As we learned this past year, OL depth is very important. We need some. Brenner could be a very serviceable backup should someone get hurt and eventually be made into a starter.

Round 6

Marcus Davis, WR

Davis has very good size and was a big part of Virginia Tech's offense. If he works on his consistency, he could be made into good 3rd option at WR.

I know many of you are wondering about the Safety position. Well, I'm hoping Gettleman can work some magic either in FA or via trade. Kenny Phillips is a FA and with Gettleman coming from NY, I think this is a real possibility. But expect to see some major roster changes first.

Mathieu will have 32 drug test done before the draft, and is now up to 182 pounds.

LSU CB Tyrann Mathieu is undergoing regular drug testing from an anonymous but certified drug testing company in an effort to show NFL teams he's clean before the 2013 Draft.

Mathieu also plans to attend the Senior Bowl to "mingle" with NFL people as he attempts to quell character concerns. Mathieu's representation promises that Tyrann will have had "32 tests" to show the NFL he's clean after alleged drug abuse at LSU. For now, Mathieu is training with former LSU teammate Patrick Peterson in Arizona. He's bulked up to 182 pounds after being listed at 175 at LSU. If Mathieu does enough to repair his image before the draft, he could be a value pick in the middle rounds

      his height, size and arm will forever cause problems and limitations...that is what it is.  I think to a degree, the law of averages is just coming into play a bit with him.  So as he plays more and more, you just flat out get the decent days mixed in too.  Which is just going to happen.

      Good point. He's definitely better in 10-15 yards. I think that's his biggest improvement. But he wasn't 3-10 +15, he was 3-7, with at least one drop (minor but still). And with multiple passes at 14 yards completed. This passing chart doesn't look like at By one, lol. He threw more "deep" passes than Mahomes (NOT comparing him to Mahomes in a skill way lol), or at least more beyind 10 yards.

      Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.
