Maine's Final Mock Draft

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

I think everyone that is frequently in the Draft section of this forum is familiar with each of these prospects so I will not get into them and why I think they are good fits. We need impact players that can start right away in positions of need and I believe this mock does just that. Without further ado...

14. Jonathan Cyprien - Safety (Florida International)

Would start week 1 and make an immediate impact on this team and be a lethal pairing with Luke for years to come.

44. Jesse Williams - NT (Alabama) /// Kawann Short - DT (Purdue)

Either of these two could come in and greatly improve our defensive line play from week 1. With the additions of Cyprien and Williams or Short, our defense instantly a threat to be amongst the leagues best if they can play to their potential and our LB core stays healthy.

108: Aaron Dobson - WR (Marshall) (Wouldn't mind Kenny Stills here either)

Big target that will be beneficial to Cam. Excellent hands and could be a valuable red zone target. Can compete for time in training camp and I'd suspect he could be a decent player for us as a rookie. I think he would beat out the likes of Armanti Edwards, David Gettis and could even be more of a receiving threat that Ginn.

148: Alvin Bailey - G (Arkansas) /// Oday Aboushi - G/OT (Virginia)

Great depth on the offensive line and it wouldn't surprise me if either of these guys become great pros. Not sure they would push for a starting roll very early, but we need quality depth on the offensive line and either of these young men provide just that. I still believe Gettleman brings in a veteran starting guard after the draft.

182: Dustin Hopkins - K (Florida State) /// Caleb Sturgis - K (Florida)

I do not know about you but I am sick and tired of the kicker rotation we have had here in Carolina since the great Kasay left. Mare was not the answer. Medlock not the answer. Gano is not the answer. Take whoever you feel is the best kicker in the draft and stick with him because both of these guys I feel will grow into great long-time pros at the kicker position. We cannot underrate this position and need a guy to win ball games in the clutch and bail out our offense when it stalls.

Don't know much about the later picks but the first 3 picks look good to me. Would love to have Willis fall to us in the 2nd and Dobson in the 4th

[Swaggasaurus]

I like it a lot, I just don't agree with the "experts" who have Williams and Short dropping so far...either way any one of them would be a great pick in round 2. I am ok with Cyprien, Would really prefer one of the top WR's in 1. Sweet mock, I am super excited about round 2 DT's.

I would be happy with this draft.

I'm okay with this draft, except I prefer Vaccaro to Cyrprien, plus Aboushi went to Virginia.

Whoops, fixed! What makes you prefer Vaccaro to Cyprien?

[JawnyBlaze]

Good mock, I'd be satisfied.

dobson will not be around in the 4th. talking about a 6'3 Wr with 4.4 speed who has the best hands in college.

Wouldn't hate, but not sure Cyprien's guaranteed starter even as bad as our safety play has been

This is what I was thinking why is everyone calling him a 4th rounder when he is huge and fast with good hands and runs great routes? I just don't get it

Its a deep WR class. He will go inthe 2nd or 3rd.

With that said I dont understand how underrated he is.

[Ken]

I like it. Would be a great draft it it panned out this way.

BTW Sturgis>>Hopkins.

[ZackAttack23]

I prefer Vaccaro because he's more versatile than Cyprien. He can play CB and both safety positions. I wouldn't be mad if we got Cyprien in a trade down.
