[hawaiiansteel]

MY Mock Draft:

1. Louis Nix, DT; Notre Dame
2. Shayne Skov, ILB; Stanford
3.-TRADED-
4. Marcel Jensen, TE; Fresno State
5. Pat O'Donnell, P; Miami (Fla.)
6. Stanley Jean-Baptiste, CB; Nebraska
7. Ryan Groy, OG; Wisconsin

we should be receiving compensatory selections for the losses of Mike Wallace and Keenan Lewis as well...

[Rara]

Which would be a third and...?

I'm guessing, and it's just a stab in the dark here, that ol' Rodge takes the Lewis comp pick from us. The wallace pick may be too high (then again, if Rodger has shown anything, it's that he doesn't have a problem biting the hand that fed him).

my guess is we'll get a 3rd for Mike Wallace and either a 4th or a 5th for Keenan Lewis.

What about Mandenhall?

What about Mandenhall?

we may receive a 7th round selection for Mendy, although signing QB Bruce Gradkowski may cancel that out.

What about James Harrison?

If we draft a punter.. especially in the 5th, I will jump off the closest bridge.

What about James Harrison?

Roger Goodell will fine him.

Thank you. Forgot that signing players can cancel out comp picks. How does that work? Is it all about the money? Does original draft selection come into play at all?

Well I will not be jumping off any bridges but will be jacked! Taking a punter early did not work very well last time. I hope a punter is not BPA when we pick in the 5th through 7th. Now maybe a 7th rd comp I could risk it! Who is the best punter in this draft right now?

With all of the work that's done in the draft, it still has a luck element built in. Imagine having a punter with a booming leg and who could actually be a serious threat to tackle the returner? Of course, that image was brought back to earth when the guy couldn't stay healthy.

[NJ-STEELER]

It still is dying on the vine for me.

I'd rather go Beau Allen from Wisconsin or someone like that in the later rounds. I am still leaning for a LT if one is available.

exactly

why not try and find out if the current NT on the practice squad is starting material. like we had last year with the NT currently starting for the cards instead of wasting a 1st rounder before we knew we had a player
dont wanna see another jarvis ones like pick when we already had a player on the roster

[NJ-STEELER]

nix better be a 3 down lineman if we use a 1st on him

i've read that we've spent more then 50% of our defensive plays in sub packages this year, and the league is growing more and more into a passing league
