irish Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) The 49ers select - OT/OG, Kelechi Osemele, Iowa State. Osemele played LT in ISU and at 6'5" 335 lbs, is a mammoth, powerful blocker with brute strength and a nasty attitude. He's as good as anyone in this draft class in a phone booth. He has long arms and even made strides, is his weakest area this past season, as a pass protector. As long as he keeps his weight in check and continues to get coached up as a pass protector, moving his feet better and not lunging at defenders, he'll be a great addition. Just as I stated while selecting for the Steelers, this mock draft worked out perfectly for the 49ers. IMO, the 49ers' greatest needs, prior to free agency, were O-line, WR and CB. Since the 49ers sured up at WR, with the acquisitions of Randy Moss and Mario Manningham and kept Carlos Rodgers at CB, that left O-line as the biggest area to address and the two picks made in this draft would fix things up nicely. I selected Peter Konz in the 1st round and he should be an immediate upgrade at center over Jonathan Goodwin, who was nothing more than a stopgap solution at the position. And now Osemele would be a great fit and possible upgrade over Chilo Rachal or Adam Snyder, who both played RG but struggled badly all last season. The 49ers also have Anthony Davis playing RT, and even though he's still young at 22 years old, patience is wearing thin after 2 atrocious season of production and so Osemele could also be plugged in there as well.

ajh2 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Seattle has had a awesome mock draft getting the best ILB, Kuechley, and then being able to address DE with a mid-first round graded/projected pick in Chandler. Seattle has to address one final weakness..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The New England Patriots select - CB, Trumaine Johnson, Montana Given his ability to play both CB and SS Johnson is the type of player that Belichick likes, and the Patriots need. Since there isn't a lot of talent in this year's draft at the SS position and LaRon Landry choose the Jets, The Patriots goes for versatility and depth in the secondary instead of reaching for a "true" SS at this point.

Papajohn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I am all for giving people a deadline and then kill them if they fail to pick accordingly. 24 hours sounds reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC94 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I really wanted Kendricks but Polk is the BPA at this point IMO. He also fills a pressing need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Good pick RC. If the rb that green bay picked didn't fall into my lap then polf would have been the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Good pick RC. If the rb that green bay picked didn't fall into my lap then polf would have been the pick. If Green Bay lands him in the 2nd round I will probably pee myself a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 St. Louis selects - CB, Alfonzo Dennard, Nebraska. The Rams need help all over but the secondary needs major help not only at upgrading starter positions but also filling depth. Dennard does exactly that as he could not only provide great depth at the CB spot but he could also crack the starting lineup. He's a thickly built, very physical corner who jams receivers at the line very well, will support against the run and has the quickness to shadow underneath and intermediate routes. It's the deep stuff that's more challenging, as he has some stiffness in his hips and gets into trouble with being overly physical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The Vikes need secondary help. Whether or not Minnifield an help I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thompson is a BPA pick. This is a guy I have as the 3rd best DT behind Cox and Brockers. He's a mirror image of Lamarr Houston of the Raiders and he's a beast. He'll provide depth in rotation and an inside pass rush as a DT and can also line up as a DE in a 4-3. Not a need pick, but Thompson is too good to pass up in the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingd Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The Cleveland Browns are looking for a trade partner to acquire another 3rd round pick. I have multiple picks in 4, 5, 6, and 7.

flemingd Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Trades are just what this mock needs... Let's just finish this thing out. It will take like 7 minutes, and if it gets done it will be probably be prior to a team even being on the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm happy that we got this far and we'll probably even finish out the 3rd round. Pretty nice! It has been brutal at times though and I have drafted for 1/4 of the teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rodgers Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Might as well go with the all Oregon backfield for the Bucs. LaMichael James is the pick and will pair nicely with the bigger Blount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been active the last two days but no pick yet. Again, let me know if you want help with any of these picks, I work from home so can get a ton of picks done quickly.

irish Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 The Skins select - CB, Brandon Boykin, Georgia. The Skins need help all over their D-line and secondary, Boykin not only helps with the secondary issue but will also play a role as a return man and may even be involved on offense as he was in college.

WashingtonD Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Damn it I haven't been following as closely as I should, please feel free to PM me in the future I could have hopped on and made a pick.Cool with your selection however, one of 3 or 4 I would have heavily considered here.

delusions of grandeur Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) The Skins select - CB, Brandon Boykin, Georgia. The Skins need help all over their D-line and secondary, Boykin not only helps with the secondary issue but will also play a role as a return man and may even be involved on offense as he was in college. Boykin will be great for a team who can use a jack-of-all trades, but I wouldn't count on him to be more than a solid nickel corner (though he could surprise. Dude is immensely talented in a lot of different ways). Edited April 18, 2012 by delusions of granduer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The Miami Dolphins select . . . OG/OT Brandon Washington, University of Miami The Dolphins need to get better at OL, and Washington has played both OT and OG for Miami. The hometown product can provide strength inside at guard, or maybe even supplant Marc Colombo at right tackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpwallace49 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Miami Dolphons select TE Dwayne Allen . .Clemson The Phins pick up some extra offensive help, Allen is the BA on their board, and they need an upgrade over Fasano. Philben likes having pass-catching TEs on his offense, and Allen can provide a nice upgrade on short and internediate routes, while Fasano can fill the role of blocking TE.
