Walter's Football 3-rd. mock draft 12/11/08

3 Defensive backs and one Wide Receiver with out first four picks? Ummmmm. NO

Apparently this guy has no clue our teams drafting strategy. They actually go into the draft with a plan unlike a team like the Lions with Millen running the team and just picking the names he knows in each round.

Seriously, D.J. Moore with Cody, Sintim and Jerry still on the board in the 1st round. That would make me want to vomit.

Meet Walter:

Yeremiah Bell is very mediocre ...

... cracked me up :lol:

Exactly, the comments on our secondary makes me think he has been watching the Lions secondary and confusing them with our DBs.

Walterfootball isn't the best site out there unless you like the multitude of Mocks they present - which is a good thing.

Do I sense an NFLDraftScout.com fan? I've been checking into that site more and more frequently. Pretty good.

Yeah, it is worth it.

There's very few trustworthy sites out there. NFLDS is one of the very few.

Walter is a pretty good handicapper, but I think his Mocks put too much emphasis on who he would taker rather than who the GM of the team would take. He has us going CB>WR>CB, that doesn't sound very likely with Parcells and Ireland.

I could see us drafting a S/C/CB/NT/WR/OT all before we would take a LB.

Won't happen.

I certainly wouldn't be unhappy picking D.J. Moore and Kenny Britt. Although if we passed on Terrance Cody and Peria Jerry, I'd sure like to know why.

Man. Walter Football is definitely a broken record with respect to the secondary. They aren't THAT bad. As I write this, they are ranked #19 in YPA. They need help but talk about overkill. Three out of the Dolphins' first four picks he has being DBs, and he just keeps citing the 21st ranked secondary as if consistent non-Porter pass rush hasn't been an issue for us all year.

I certainly won't mind it if we get Kenny Britt in any round. Barring a bad 40 time or workout, I just don't see him falling to the 2nd round though or Parcells spending a high pick on a WR.

Well..I'm a contrarian CK, I do think we pick up some Secondary prospects, but not early, not with Grade A pass rushers still on the board.

And NFLDraftScout is great, looking through the Risers and Fallers one can have a really good feel for who we may pick 4th through 7th round.

They absolutely nailed Donald Thomas last Draft.

While I agree with "Walter" that we need secondary help, from the ridiculousness of some of the picks he's allotted to other teams in that mock, I think he's full of it.

I also think we definitely should pick up CB prospects with Allen/Goodman getting there in age.

They're pretty accurate and comprehensive as well (though I personally clocked Matt Slater as 4.39 on his Pro Day while they have 4.44).

This may be off-topic but any chance Donald Thomas learns to play center? He'd be ideal matching up straight up with NTs and has the athleticism to adjust as a C often has to do. It would create an easy fix with Satele moving to RG becoming the second pulling guard.

We can keep them both, but to be honest, even last year they were considered as sort of oldish and Nick Saban players, going into 2007 they were supposed to be one of our strengths, we have been very very blessed this year that we did not have that rash of injuries in the Secondary this year.

Two Cb prospects and a Safety would do, they could be later picks or even a UDFA at Safety.

Well we are keeping them but sooner or later they'll need to be replaced and I don't see many good candidates on our roster.
