Carolina Selects Marcell Dareus at 1 so Denver Trades the #2 Overall to SF for the #7 and #45 picks plus a 2012 2nd rd pick....This is a great deal all around and allows Harbaugh to have his Franchise Qb in Gabbert or Newton at 2 before buffalo at 3 or AZ at 5
Denver then Trades the #7 pick to Detroit for pick #13 and Pick #44, Detroit needs a CB or OT in a bad way and I mean bad way at 7 they would be guarenteed their choice of either Amukamara or Tyron smith before Dallas at 9
These trades are also very realistic as teams have traded back a couple of times in the first rd before Clevland did it the year before last
There also will be a guarenteed rookie pay scale when a new deal is reached as both players and owners wnat that done. So teams will be a little risker and freer this year than in years past. Also consider the fact that FA might not even occur this year, and no trades for players can be done, and some teams will have to take chances, because they have no idea if they can use FA to fill that dire need.
Rd1 pick 13.(from Detroit)- DT Corey Liuget(Illinois)-This guy is a elite DT and one of the most consistent and best on tape. He dominates the run game and has a decent pass rush arsenal, capped by a impressive bull rush. He doesn't have any character concerns, and posses great leadership skills, if it wasn't for fairley declaring early Liuget would be a surefire top ten lock this year. But he is a Top 15 lock as is. Losing Dareus to Carolina hurts but selecting this guy helps to improve a very mediocre DL in Denver
Rd2 pick 36.- OT/G- Benjamin Ijalana(Villanova)- We have some unknown depth issues at Guard, and we need a Starting RT, Ijalana should be plug and play from Day 1 at RT. With Beadles playing guard and Providing depth at LT, losing harris could be tough, but this guy will fill out some depth as well as give us a quality starter to replace Harris.
Rd2 pick 44.(from Detroit)- S Rahim Moore(UCLA)- Dawkins is old and injured frequently now and has maybe ˝ year left, Hill is a sound consistent safety, but he is old and has few playmaking skills left. Mcbath is always hurt and Bruton showed many why he is best fit for special teams last year in the Oakland game. We need a playmaker here and Moore provides just that
Rd2 pick 45.(from SF)- LB Mason Foster(Washington)- We have lacked a true Leader at the LB position for awhile, someone with athletic ability and coverage capability but also a instinct for the ball and playing the run. I like Haggan and Mays a lot but neither is the athlete foster is. Foster should be able to play all 3 positions for us at LB and fill out our Lb core nicely. I imagine him starting at MLB or SLB by mid season.
Rd2 pick 46.- RB Ryan Williams(Virginia Tech)- Moreno is always hurt and we have no Rb depth, Bucky is a unknown and Lendale is coming of major surgery we need insurance against injury and a back to compete with moreno, otehrwise our new offense will sputter once again. Another Rb is a must for this team.
Rd3 pick 67.- DT Terell Mcclain(South Florida)- We now have only 2 capable DT's on the roster, so anotehr is a must we have some players who shoul work nicely at DE for us but our DT corps is very thin, and needs a lot of work this year before season start, adding both Mcclain and Liuget is a very good start to addressing what has been piss poor DL play for some time.
Rd6 pick 189.- TE Charlie Gantt(Marshall)- Quinn has shown nothing, gronkowski is coming off injury and we could really use anotehr TE after releasing Graham. Gantt is a stellar blocker and will allow gronkowski some freedom to move around TE sets.
Rd7 pick 216.- FB Ryan Taylor(North Carolina)- spencer larsen has concerning injury history and using TE's as FB in a run first offense is never a good thing, getting a legit FB to push larsen and compete with him is a must for this offense. It will go along way in helping the run game stability outas well.
So there ya have it flame away, call it madden, say what ya want no sweat off my back......LOL
Oh and if Dareus is there at 2 we had better well take him and forget the trade back stuff. Below is my mock with no trades if Dareus is around at 2.
1. DT Marcel Dareus
2. OT/G Benjamin Ijalana
2. LB Mason Foster
3. DT Terell Mcclain
6. TE Charlie Gantt
7. FB Ryan Taylor
