2012 mocks

[idymoe]

26 Whitney Mercilus
58 Kevin Zeitler
89 Marvin Jones
121 Michael Egnew or Ladarius Green
153 Joe Adams or Amini Silatolu
184 Josh Kaddu or Akeim Hicks
216 Devon Wiley


Definately some risky picks in the lower rounds. I have seen Wiley move up in some mocks. If I knew Wiley would be there in the 7th, I would take a chance on Silatolu.

Post Demeco Trade mock, they have us taking the following:

26 Alshon Jeffery* WR South Carolina 6' 3" 234
58 Kevin Zeitler OG Wisconsin 6' 4" 315
76 Keith Tandy CB West Virginia 5' 10" 198
98 Nigel Bradham ILB Florida State 6' 2" 235
120 DeVier Posey WR Ohio State 6' 2" 200
152 Levy Adcock OT Oklahoma State 6' 6" 330
183 Malik Jackson DE Tennessee 6' 5" 265
215 Logan Harrell DT Fresno State 6' 2" 275

My cherry pick:

26 Mike Adams OT Ohio State 6' 8" 300
58 Brian Quick WR Appalachian State 6' 5" 220
76 Harrison Smith S Notre Dame 6' 2" 212
98 Mike Martin NT Michigan 6' 2" 299
120 Keenan Robinson ILB Texas 6' 3" 232
152 Kheeston Randall DE Texas 6' 5" 295
183 William Vlachos OC Alabama 6' 1" 292
215 Randy Bullock K Texas A&M 5' 9" 205

While this fails to address OLB, that maybe well backed up by Nading and Braman at this time. Plus I wanted to throw out some new names to bounce off you guys.

There might not be any instant starters on this team, but there are some guys that will make plays.

Going OT in the first is certainly a new twist as long as it is someone who can fit the ZBS. I'm not sure about some of the individuals but I'm good with the drafting strategy. If Bullock is still there in the seventh round, that's a nice pick-up. I like getting a S and an NT.

I didn't think Adams was quite the LT, but he might work at RT. And Smith was the best safety working out at the combine. And I have loved Martin from day one in my looking at this years prospects.

Did you watch Baylor Pro Day on NFL network?

Kendall Wright looked pretty fast and quick and good at WR. Doubt he will be around at 26.

RG3 looks fantastic. Real strong arm.

Interesting Indy was there, Washington had everyone there incl the owner.

26 Kendall Wright Baylor WRF

Although Kendall Wright's Combine performance left something to be desired, scouts will value his production on game tape more than "underwear olympics" results. This play-maker will make an immediate impact on special teams, and there is no doubt that Gary Kubiak will install some offensive packages to take advantage of his talents. It won't be long before he's lined up opposite Andre Johnson on a permanent basis.

58 Bruce Irvin West Virginia OLB34

Mario Williams is a Buffalo Bill! Houston's pass-rushing cupboard is not bare with starters Brooks Reed and Connor Barwin, but "Flash" Irvin adds a "speed and explosion dimension" the Texans don't currently possess. When a 245 lb OLB runs a sub-4.5 forty, 4.03 shuttle and 6.70 3-cone, plus 23 bench press reps, 33" vertical and 10'3" broad jump, that is the definition of speed and explosion (factor = 66). Look for Bruce to make a "special" impact (as in specialty defenses and special teams)!

76 Audie Cole North Carolina State SILB
98 Tom Compton South Dakota ROT
120 Matt Conrath Virginia DE34
152 Brandon Brooks Miami (OH) OG
183 Nicolas Jean-Baptiste Baylor DT34
215 D'Anton Lynn Penn State FS

I think Bruce Irving has a real shot at being a Texan.

When I read the blurb about Irvin, I was asking myself "If he's that good, why is he available at pick #58?" If he's that fast and can *tackle*, then by all means let's get him and probably with #26 since good WRs will still be available at #58.

At least he's from that Virginia/Virginia Tech/West Virginia axis that we seem to take a lot of players from.
