WalterFootballs 4-Round Mock

[Blitzwood]

I thought P. Cox was the top CB at the Senior Bowl and would have no problem taking him in the second round. He usually makes good plays on the ball and has a ton of experience. The only thing keeping him out of the first round are some character issues. That's why I think Kyle Wilson is projected before him, but he's no saint either. He might have issues, but haven't been that publicized since he played at Boise St. But I've never heard of a player having an R.V. and a travel trailer with his picture and name on it since he was a sophomore at any school, much less a W.A.C. school..... It's almost laughable. To say he's got an ego would be an understatement, but I wouldn't hesitate to take him in the second round either.

On the guard issue, I don't see it as such a priority as some other positions. We lost our two starting guards for the season and we were still able to pass protect well and run the ball with some success once our RB's corrected their fumbling issues. The final Patriot's game is a good example of that. With that being said, I would still bring in some depth on the O-line in the final rounds or as F.A.. Three schools that have a good crop of linemen graduating are Tennessee, Iowa, and Nebraska. You'll notice two of those schools had some pretty good defensive tackles that these linemen had to face everyday in practice.

Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say straight out that I'm not overly excited about many of the CB prospects while I realize that it is quite the need for this team. I will also say that some of the defense's biggest gaffe's last season were due in part because we had players who did not know how to play Zone Coverage. Missed assignments led to big plays more than a particular DB getting beat because he couldn't keep up with a fast WR.

If I had to say who my favorite CBs are in this draft without looking at 40-times and Vertical Jumps, then I'd say Syd'Quan Thompson and Alterraun Verner. They can make plays on the ball and get Interceptions. They aren't "big" and will not be the first guy that I'd want trying to tackle Maurice Jones-Drew in the open field. However, they both will make an effort and do their best to get in the way, unlike a former CB that Casserly traded 2nd round picks for. Anyway, I want to see if these little guys can beat 4.50 in the 40. I don't think either are rated very highly in mock drafts.

How would you feel about replacing them with:

Kyle Calloway, OT, Iowa 6-7 315
Dan Doering, OG, Iowa 6-6 300
Andy Kuempel, OG, Iowa 6-7 300
Rafael Eubanks, OC, Iowa 6-3 285

or

Jacques McClendon, OG, Tenn, 6-3 324
Josh McNeil, OC, Tenn, 6-4 280
Vladimir Richard, OG, Tenn, 6-4 300
Chris Scott, OT, Tenn, 6-5 346


None of these guys are highly rated in mocks, I'd say one in each group stands a chance to get drafted, but Iowa was 11-2 last year beating some very good Big 10 teams, while Tennessee nearly knocked off Alabama. Tennessee also runs(ran) a pro style zone blocking scheme.
These guys are all looking for work next year and would fit well here.

I'd be happy with any combination.

I can't let this go. He might have issues that haven't been publicized because he played at B.S.U.? You might be pulling stuff right out of your ass. The R.V. does not belong to him. It belongs to his parents who were so proud of their son, they had their r.v. painted with his picture. That is definitely different, but it is nothing like what you just wrote. Wilson was one of the leaders at B.S.U. He's been interviewed many times locally over the last few years and always said the right things, respectful of opponents and confident that the team would give their best effort. Your post is laughable and pathetic to smear a really good guy you obviously know nothing about, because you saw his parents' unusual r.v. If anything, Wilson could probably use a little more cockiness for the position he plays.

Scott Wright- "Might have some character issues--Didn't face alot of preimer comp"


Bleacherreport:
"Wilson's tenacity on the field sometimes translates into a nasty character that plays through the whistle and causes minor, unnecessary controversies at the end of the play."

You're right, he actually comes off as a clean, good kid, very likeable... but some scouts have said he might have some character issues
They mentioned the RV picture during the senior bowl, never said it was his parents though, his teammates actually ribbed him a little bit on that...


I like Wilson, I just think he's a relative unknown to most out of the WAC.

OK i have to correct you, it's his older brother who owns the RV. He had it covered with the pictures because he was proud of his brother and he has not missed a single game in 4 years.

The place that did the graphic uses it on there website, check it out.

Gerry Wilson, Kyle's brother just stopped by the studio to show us his motor home. We provided all the images and the killer guys at Motive Media did all the graphics. Gerry is going to drive the motor home to all the Boise State Bronco football games this year in support of his brother. What a killer group of guys. We are so honored to be part of the Boise State, Blue Magazine Family.

I stand corrected. I did know that it was not Kyle's rv and that his family (mother, father, brother) traveled to the games in the thing. The point is, however, that thing is no reflection at all on Kyle's ego. In his four years at BSU he has not been in trouble on or off the field, and I've never seen any controversy at the end of plays, either. Jeron Johnson, at safety has had some controversy the last couple of years at the end of plays, although I wouldn't classify those as dirty, but playing hard until the whistle blows. Titus Young was suspended for a good part of the season last year for team infractions as was Jeremy Childs a couple of years before. BSU runs about the cleanest program around as far as making sure the players are disciplined and good citizens. There has been nothing about Wilson's conduct to suggest he might have issues.

idymoe can you give me a scouting report on DeMaundray Woolridge? Why am I not seeing him on anyone's list? I show him to have been a senior, and he should be on someone's list.
