Um, I'd rather have Clint Sintim then Clay Matthews.

Truth be told, I'd be happy with this draft if we drafted Sintim over Matthews.
-
i dont like it at all.
you pass on Sintim for Matthews? then at 44 you pass on Delmas AND Nicks for Sean Smith? -

i honestly dont think you can make a case for him being the #3 CB in this class.
you can make a case for Delmas being the best Safety and Nicks being the #2 best WR though -
Davis Jenkins and Alphonso Smith are the top 3 and i dont think you can make a case for anyone else

thats mind blowing that someone could think Sean Smith is the best CB in the draft. but it is what it is....

I would love to have Sean Smith. His size alone( 6-3, 200 pounds!) makes me want Miami to draft him.
-
BTW, what are the chances Sean Smith falls to our 2a pick?

One thing that annoys me about Scott's 1st round is he always has Miami passing on Sintim. In his earlier mocks he has had him going to NE. He raved at how perfect CS was for NE defense. He seems to ignore the fact that he'd be equally perfect for our defense, instead giving us Cushing and Matthews when CS was still on the board, in later updates.
Speaking of which, Alen, do you think we'd go for Brian Cushing given his injury history? God I hope not.
As for the mock itself, I don't like it. I don't want Matthews or Iglesias. I wouldn't be at all upset with Sean Smith. Although he has Nicks still on the board, I doubt that will be reality. If he is, it's going to be tough to pass on him. -

Quick questions for all you Draftniks out there, what position is this draft heavy on? Is this considered a deep draft or is it overall weak like Ronnie Brown's year (2005 I think)?
-
thanks for the quick reply bud lol at MC Hammer -
Round 1: Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
With Maclin, Brown, Orakpo, Raji, Jerry, Oher, Maybin, English, Maualuga, and Laurinaitis all off the board in this Mock Draft there aren't many players left who I would be really excited about in the 1st round. If Ireland and Parcells think Clay Matthews is worth it then I would have no problem with their decision but if the draft went down like this then you simply can't pass up Nicks. He's just too good and far more likely to be a big time player than Matthews.
Round 2a: Darius Butler, CB, UConn
I know there is a lot of love for Sean Smith on this board but I believe Butler will prove to be the better pro and I guarantee you that Butler will have a better workout at the Combine. He's available in this Mock but I wouldn't be surprised if he's off the board in real life by the time we pick in the 2nd round. If that's the case and Smith runs in the 4.4s at Indianapolis then I would be happy with him at #44.
Round 2b: Antoine Caldwell, C, Alabama
If we don't take Nicks in the 1st round then I would be all over Iglesias at #56. However since I have us taking Nicks in this Mock then I would nab the best Center still on the board late in the 2nd. I believe that would be Caldwell but Eric Wood and Jonathan Luigs could also be the pick. If we don't re-sign Crowder or sign somebody to take his place then Tyrone McKenzie might be the pick here.
Here's another guarantee for you. If we cut Crowder loose, don't sign anybody to replace him, and Laurinaitis is still on the board when we pick in the 1st round I would bet you a year's salary that he's our pick. -
1. OT
2. WR (as many as 5 taken in the 1st round)
3. DE (as many as 4 taken in the 1st round)
4. CB (as many as 4 taken in the 1st round)
5. RB (as many as 3 taken in the 1st round)
6. OLB (as many as 4 taken in the 1st round)
7. DT
8. Center
9. Safety
10. OG
11. ILB
12. TE
13. QB
The biggest dropoff is at CB and ILB. If you don't get one of those guys early then it's slim pickens in the later rounds.
Center and Safety are the two positions with the most talent the deeper you go. Don't reach for either of those positions this year. For example if Antoine Caldwell is off the board then Eric Wood might be just as good or better. If Rashad Johnson is off the board then Chip Vaughn or Courtney Green might be just as good or better.
