NFL Draftsite 7 round mock

[Blitzwood]

I have us taking Rey Maualuga if he's there at 15. ... noticed some "signs" that he'll be our guy if he's there. IMO, he's the best out of the USC corp. He has the best instincts for the ball and is a dominant run-stopper and blitzer.
I could easily see our draft go like:

1. Rey Maualuga MLB
2. Eric Wood OC
3. L. Sidbury DE
4a. Gerald McRath OLB
4b. James Davis RB
5. Derek Pegues FS
6. Deon Butler WR
7. Terrill Byrd DT

Rey Rey is a MIKE only and to complicate it more, a 2 down MIKE in a 4-3, so are you planning on moving Ryans to WILL, and paying 1st round money to a part time player?

Just so you are clear, Rey Rey was on my preseason short list, he and William Moore. IMO he does not fit our teams needs.

I want to add, if the team where to take a MIKE in the 1st it more likely would be James Laurinaitis. He can attach a play from the outside, so he can be a SAM, or a lessor WILL. Plus the team had him come in for a visit. I have not heard of the team having Rey Rey in and they did attend the his proday.

They are either throwing a huge smokescreen, or they ...........

I though so too, but recently I heard reports he's on the Texans "shortlist", whatever that means... I guess they feel they can move Ryans to SAM, and plug Rey Rey in the middle to better defend the run. Rey is the best run stopper in the USC bunch and has proven himself the last three years, where as Matthews still is somewhat new at the position(OLB) and probably the weakest against the run. I think we ranked 26th against the run, which is the area they most want to improve, along with the secondary and pass rush. All we've heard is Matthews, when it's really probably Rey they want and helping Matthews draft stock in the process. Now if Rey and M. Jenkins are gone, I see us trading down and probably taking whoever is left out of Matthews, J. Laurinitis, or D. Butler.

Then again, who really knows..........
