WalterFootballs 4-Round Mock

[NBT]

For some reason I'm just not that high on Thomas, probably because of his slight build. We've already had one like that in dRob.

[Nconroe]

Thomas is 197 pounds, DRob was like 178 coming out, 20 pounds is quite a bit.

And Drob was pretty good till perhaps he got hurt and ego kicked in.

Given that some believe Thomas can play corner as well as safety, that's not bad for a 20th pick in the draft if he is there. I'd be happy with Iupati also. Dwyer falls into round two with this mock.

I like the idea of pairing Thomas with Pollard. Thomas is a ball hawk in the middle and Pollard can lay the wood in the box. It would be the best safety tandem we've ever had.

My cherry pick

20 Earl Thomas, FS, Texas not my favorite pick, but not a bad pick. Might be to soon for Mike Iupati, G, Idaho, Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan, Kyle Wilson, CB/PR, Boise State so
51 Perrish Cox, CB/KR, Oklahoma State, my # 4 CB, not a bad pick up.
81 Mike Johnson, G, Alabama solid senior bowl week keeps him in the 3rd.
115 Montario Hardesty, RB, Tennessee solid RB, not sexy but solid.

Would rather trade down and gather another 2nd rounder.

I really don't think we can get another 2nd for trading down at #20. What would you say to trading out of the first round for an extra 2nd, and maybe a 3rd and 5th?

That works for me.

It really depends on who is available when the Texans pick. If they are not too excited about their options then yes trade out by all means.

Based off of this I'd go...

1. Mike Iupati OG Idaho
2. Maurkice Pouncey C Florida (goes 1 spot in front of us but he's in the ballpark so I make the move to get him)
3. Ryan Matthews RB Fresno State
4. Major Wright FS Florida
