Rick Gosselin's second NFL mock draft

[TexanJedi]

Here it is, Gosselin's top 100, one of the most accurate year to year.

A few interesting ones:

5. Maclin
14. Orakpo
23. Matthews
32. Wood
37. Unger
53. Everette Brown
62. Michael Johnson

Boy, we might get that dynamic pass rusher we need at good value if the Orakpo, Brown, and Johnson rankings are close to accurate.

Rich Ohrnberger and Kraig Urbik above Duke Robinson caught my eye. Ohrnberger?? Really?

Or, maybe they are less Dynamic than was previously thought. Johnson, we know the beef, the other two are falling out of the OLB slot in a 3/4 which makes tham somewhat less attractive for this draft. They may be only situational pass rushers which are not as much in demand.

Just a thought, but maybe its a good thing. We can trade down and still get the players we wanted. I am getting more anxious for us to trade down and pick up extra picks to flesh out backups. I am extremely concerned about OT, we only have Rashad Butler backing up now that Salaam is gone. I would love to draft Sebastian Vollmer with one of our 4's. He has risen now to the highest rated non-combine player in the draft expected to go in the 4th.

I dunno, anybody care to compare/rank Everett Brown & Michael Johnson, one or both of whom it now looks as if could be available to us with our second rounder, vs Quentin Groves, the X-Auburn sack-specilaist who the Jags got in lasts years second round. As I recall they also took another DE, Derrick Harvey, in the top 10 of last years Draft ?

Everette Brown seems to be falling...

I don't have a link but I just heard that in Kiper's final mock he has Everette Brown going to Arizona @ 31st overall.

I am not understanding this at all. The games have been played, the interviews conducted, the work-outs ran, and measurements taken. There has been no news on medical problems and his name was not associated with any rumors.

Now, after being considered a top 5 pick for the last 5 months, he's now a 2nd round pick? I can't help but wonder if there is "insider" information that sources know but aren't talking about - but merely stating that he will not be a top pick.

Quentin Groves fell to the 2nd round last year after being diagnosed with W-P-W and requiring an ablation. It's not that big of a deal, but because it was a heart condition, it scared off enough GMs.

I have compared Brown to Suggs and Freeney, but perhaps LaMarr Woodley would be a better example. A productive college player who should be drafted in the 1st round, but may slip to the 2nd round because of the notion that he's undersized. I wonder if the Falcons would like a do-over or if they would still take Jamaal Anderson with the #8 pick, while Woodley was on the board.
