Draft Tek mock 3/6/13

1. Kenny Vaccarro, FS, Texas
2a. Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
2b. Johnathan Jenkins, DT, Georgia
3a. Darius Slay, CB, Miss. State
3b. John Simon, DE/OLB, Ohio State
4. Marcus Lattimore, HB, South Carolina
5. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
7a. Johnny Adams, CB, Michigan State
7b. Manase Foketi, OG, West Texas A&M

Thankfully I have about 0% doubt that this draft won't happen.

Hit or miss. Like the Darius Slay and Justin Hunter picks, love the Marcus Lattimore pickup, Landry Jones a decent pickup as well.

Really not a fan of taking Kenny Vaccarro, Johnathan Jenkins or John Simon. Or Johnny Adams, for that matter. No opinion on Manase Foketi.

2a. Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee

4. Marcus Lattimore, HB, South Carolina
5. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma
7b. Manase Foketi, OG, West Texas A&M

So............this person thinks drafting these 4 offensive players will FIX our offense? One WR, a HB coming back from injury, a QB to develop, and a very low round OG.
This makes no sense at all IMO. We didnt FIX anything on the O.

IMO, if you go into this draft thinking Miami is going to FIX this offense in one off season, then you will likely be very disappointed and not have the proper perspective on hwo things will end up working.

The weirdest thing about that draft, especially since I know how the whole Draftek thing works with its algorithms and all that, is the fact they don't have us drafting any tight ends.

But yeah you're not going to "fix" the offense in one go. I could totally see this front office believing that continuity at the OL position, some new blood at RB, and a new, possibly dynamic wide receiver in Justin Hunter...would be the proper prescription for the offense this off season. Although I assume the lack of an OT in this draft means we re-signed Jake Long or grabbed some other free agent.

players listed who I'd rather have than Landry Jones in th e 5th round:

Sanders Commings
Shamarko Thomas
Dennard Robinson
David Quisenberry (looked good at the combine, flying blind otherwise)
Knile Davis
Marquise Goodwin (and how)
Kenjon Barner
David Bakhtiari
Nickel Robey
Mallicah Goodman
Conner Vernon
Dallas Thomas
Cobi Hamilton
Trevardo Williams
Brandon McGee
Kwame Geathers
Dwayne Gratz (looked good at the combine)
David Bass
Alex Hurst
Le'veon Bell
Rontez Miles
Cierre Woods
Marquess Wilson (and how)
Spencer Nealy
Manase Foketi
Rodney Smith
Dennis Johnson
Zach Sudfeld
Branden Smith
Josh Boyd
Aaron Mellette

Some definitely more than others on this list, but pretty much anyone over Landry Jones. Just not a fan, and in a deep draft a waste of a 5th rd pick imo.
