I have reservations about taking Matthews at #15 ? Actually I dunno if any of the USC LBs are worthy of the 15th pick ?
1560 had a guy on the other day named Mike Lombardi (dunno if any relation to the late, great coach ?), who said he couldn't find Cushing on the Trojans tape on third downs, suggesting he's like Rey-Rey in that he's not an every down player. Hopefully we can make a trade to get down into the 20s where one of the USC LBs might be a reasonable value ? |

He's a former Al Davis employee.

Nice picks, Roy. I think sometimes people get too caught up in what player goes in what round. If you just look at that group of players and say that we can add these guys to the roster next season, you would have to be very happy.
I think I am going to wait awhile to do another drafttek mock. They update two or three times a week, and I keep bouncing all over the place. The nice thing is that virtually every mock that anyone has come up with in this thread should really benefit the team next year. |

Wells is big but doesnt play like a big back.

Wells reminds me of Ron Dayne, a big back who thinks he's a scat back.
This more of a draft I can see Casserly bringing us. They are all good solid players, but....

Perhaps Wells doesn't have a good NFL career... I don't know. That being said, he is way more explosive running the ball than Dayne ever was. Not only is he faster than Dayne but he gets to his top end speed much quicker. Wells is big and quick. Dayne was very big and thought he was quick. That's not the same thing. |

I'm not opposed to the idea that a RB with limited college success can be become a quality NFL player. As a matter of a fact, I think limited college carries can be a selling point... more mileage left on the tires. However, at that point in the draft, I'd at least like to see a compilation of impressive highlights, even if his seasonal stats don't show a ton... Anyway, I just can't see taking Brown rounds before guys like Glen Coffee, Quatrel Johnson, Peerman, Ian Johnson, etc... I just don't see what separates him from them. I'm willing to be persuaded though! |

Saw that on your 1st post, Think about it, other than Raji, there is not many NT in this draft that excite me. I would rather see what last years 5th rounder has to offer with the new coach and and offseason of NFL weight rooms, then draft most of the NT guys in the 2nd day of this draft.
As for your LBs, do you think Ellerbe can be a SAM? i want to get as many young RB in our system as possible, so 3 drafted is not a problem for me. Heck keep an eye on KC, have they released Jackie Battle yet? How about Denver is Alridge a FA yet?

Drafting Ellerbe and Matthews gives me some flexibility. Ellerbe could play WILL and stay on the field in passing downs when Matthews might be dropped down to DE from the SAM. Or I could have Ellerbe line up at the SAM and replace the WILL with Adibi on passing downs. Just a thought. The reason I grabbed Brown in the 3rd is because NOBODY knows who will be available later in the draft. I hate the idea of projecting I COULD get Ian Johnson or Javarris Williams on the 2nd day, and then have them come off the board earlier than predicted. Andre Brown is big enough to push the pile, but quick enough to be a one-cut ZBS RB like Terrell Davis. Yeah, I said it. TD was a low mileage college guy just like Brown. Brown has some injuries that prevented the college production. His Senior Bowl practices, Senior Bowl game, and Combine should make GMs savvy enough to take him in the 3rd round. Ideally, I want 4 RBs on the roster. 2 Fast guys (Slaton and Johnson) and 2 Big guys (Brown and Williams). If one of the fast guys gets hurt, I have a backup. Same thing for the big RBs. Therefore, Brown has the highest need in that he is my first Big guy and my first complement to Slaton.

1. Clay Matthews OLB USC
2. Max Unger C Oregon 3. Chip Vaughn SS Wake Forest 4. Lawrence Sidbury Jr. Richmond 4. James Davis RB Clemson 5. TJ Lang OG Eastern Michigan 6. Johnny Knox WR Abiline Christian 7. Mark Parson CB Ohio Wanted to add another linebacker in the fourth but I didn't see the value anywhere and I didn't want to reach. There were some in the 5th but TJ Lang is too good to pass up there even with the addition of Unger in round two. You can never have too many good players in the trenches. |

That's a pretty nice draft. I don't know that Unger will be there in the 2nd, though. Drafttek is almost too good to be true in most rounds, as to who will be available. I know it is a composite draft. Must be some really unrealistic mocks out there.
