Unusual Mock W/ Trades & Some Explanations

[IDOG_det]

1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck QB Stanford: I shouldn't really have to explain this one. Luck is the best QB prospect in a while, and the Colts released one of the best QB's ever.

2. Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III QB Baylor: The 2nd best QB prospect, and the Redskins traded a crap-load to get this pick. RG3 should be a explosive passer, and runner.

3. Minnesota Vikings: Morris Claiborne CB LSU: While many argue Kalil here, Claiborne makes a lot of sense as well. In a division with Brandon Marshall, Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley and Brandon Pettigrew, it makes sense to try to cover those guys. Claiborne is a lockdown CB, and should be a huge impact day 1.

Trade: With Kalil still on the board to the surprise of many, Cleveland gets many calls for a trade. The Bills offer the most. The Bills trade #10, their 2nd, and a 1st of next year for #4 and a future 3rd. The Browns now have 7 picks in the first 2 rounds in the current, and upcoming draft.

4. Buffalo Bills (via Cleveland): Matt Kalil OT USC: With their starting LT leaving through FA (personal prediction), they jump on the chance to get the top rated LT.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Trent Richardson RB Alabama: With their top target off of the board (Morris Claiborne), they take their 2nd target gladly. This gives Freeman yet another weapon on his offense, and sets up the Buccaneers for offensive success.

Trade: With the Dolphins trading Brandon Marshall and then losing out on Manning, they decide to trade up for a good offensive weapon. The Rams trade down two spots and aquire a 2nd from next year, and also give up a 4th from this year.

6. Miami Dolphins (via Rams): Michael Floyd WR Notre Dame: Here come the boos.... But the Dolphins FO is happy with their pick. They get the best #1 reciever in the draft, and can stay with Matt Moore for 1 more year and then take a top QB in next years draft.

7. Jacksonville Jaguars: Justin Blackmon WR Oklahoms St: Not the top talent they wanted at WR, but is a high character guy that Gene Smith likes to draft, and should be able to contribute immediatley.

8. St. Louis Rams: Dontari Poe DT Memphis: Size of a NT, athleticism of a UT, skillset of a UT. Very high potential player, and could reck some havoc on a line with Long and Quinn at the ends.

9. Carolins Panthers: Luke Kuechly LB Boston College: Very athletic, smart, great technique and BPA. Could be able to play all LB spots in a 4-3.

10. Cleveland Browns (via Bills): Nick Perry DE USC: Explosive pass rusher to pair with Jabaal Sheard, Phil Taylor and Athyba Rubin (spellings probably horrible ). Cleveland gets extra picks, and a player they're high on.

11. Kansas City Chiefs: David DeCastro OG Stanford: They couldn't resist. Their line is complete now, and is pretty sick. Charles and Hillis will have a really fun time running behind this line.

Trade: With the Seahawks not liking the value pf any player at the pick, they decide to trade down. The Lions are glad to move up to grab a great prospect and are willing to pay for it. The Lions trade #23, their 2nd and a 5th for #12 and a future 6th.

12. Detroit Lions (via Seattle): Riley Reiff OT Iowa: The Lions resigned Backus for cheap, but need a OT for the future. Reiff could play LT for the Lions, and have Backus play RG, or it could be flipped with Backus at LT and Reiff at RG (and then becoming the LTOTF).

13. Arizona Cardinals: Ryan Tannehill QB Texas A&M: With Kolb sucking, and having no real starting QB on the roster, Arizona takes a chance on Tannehill.

14. Dallas Cowboys: Dre Kirkpatrick CB Alabama: The Cowboys really need a corner, and Dre is high on their list. They wanted DeCastro, but Dre is a great consolation prize.

15. Philadelphia Eagles: Fletcher Cox DT Mississipi State: Their filled their hole at LB with the Ryans trade, and now they have another great pass rusher in Fletcher Cox.

This mock is not intended to be like other mocks. Some picks will be the same, but there are key differences. Let me know your teams draft style (for need or BPA or character or falls in love w/ speed or whatever), let me know your needs and let me know your opinion. Any little " Player X is not good for team X" statements will not be listened to, and won't be changing my picks, or opinions, anytime soon. If you explain your own reasoning, then I will listen, but until then I won't regard any little statements with value.


LET ME KNOW HOW Y'ALL FEEL!!!

1 - I highly doubt Tannehill gets to 13, I don't see him getting out of the top 10 and in particular I don't see Miami passing on him.

2 - While I would not mind Tannehill I doubt Arizona drafts him. With Kolb having received his big bonus and Skelton having played solid football down the stretch I get the feeling unless we are getting a proven elite QB the staff is happy with what we have now.

Love the trade up for Buffalo. If there is ANY chance to acquire the best OLT in this draft, the move should be made! Then as Bills fans, the health of that unit stays intact, with Eric Wood fully recovered from his ACL injury. GO BILLS!!!
