xskyx Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I decided to go away from the normal mocks again. My reasonbehind this mock is TD could very well continue to add to the secondary this year to cement a better pass defense.I'm not saying I think this WILL happen. I'm saying the possibility is there, and it isn't a horrible idea as long as we can fix our lines as well.Cuts--------AsanteReynoldsNicholasDecoud SnellingKroy Resign-------PetersMcClainHawleyBabsFA-----Eugene Monroe RTThis fixes our RT for a few years with a guy who's proven to be an effective lineman.Jon Asamoah RGAnother offensive line fix for a few years. Our run and pass game just instantly improved with these 2 signingsLamarr Houston DEDecent at stopping the run and ruahing the qb. Will provide vet leadership along with Osi to our project endsPaul Soliai DT/NTBeef for our weak DT situation. A Nolan guyDraft----------The phone rings. The Jets are tired of having a horrible WR squad. They just released Santonio Holmes. They decide they want a guy that Mayock has raved about. The Jets trade their 1st, 2nd, 4th, and a couple 2015 picks to move up to #6 to select Watkins.1st round at #18Calvin Pryor FS Louisville With the pitiful performance by Decoud this year, along with the inability to generate pressure, our defense has suffered. Dimitroff cements our secondary for years to come by adding the missing piece. With Trufant, Alford, Moore, and now Pryor, there won't be many better secondaries out there.Round 2Stephon Tuitt DT Notre DameHe'll be perfect in our rotation, and eventually take the starting spot from Babs. At 6'5 304 pounds, he'll answer part of our DT woes. If he isn't available, we take Hageman as a consolation prize2nd from Jets tradeTrent Murphy DE/OLBThis guy will take Kroy's spot as our DE and OLB hybrid role. He can generate pass rush from either position. With Osi and Houston to learn behind, we'll create a monster here.3rd roundGabe Jackson RGBlaylock's eventual successor. We gave him the opportunity to learn from Asamoah as well. Should solidify our line in 2015 and be great depth this year4th roundDaniel McCullers NT/DT TennesseePeters is on a one year deal and will likely be gone next year, along with maybe Babs as well. Best to double dip here4th from JetsCJ Fiedorowicz TE IowaOur tight end cupboard is bare. This is a definite pick of need, and a much better option than the available FAs4th compAndre Williams RB Boston CollegeHe can't catch very well. That's why he's available this far down. We don't need a receiving back. His job is to force the defense into stacking the box. He'll excel at it.5th roundBryan Stork, CenterHawley is not a long term answer. Simple as that. This guy will compete for the starting job on day 16th roundJC Copeland FB LSUWhat can I say about him that hasn't already been said? He'll give us path to run. With two powerhouses like him and Andre Williams, our run game will get a greatly needed breath of life.7th and 7th compBPA corners for depth. I won't even pretend to know anything about corners available this late in the draft.Conclusion-----------You can't fix everything with one draft. With that being said, I think this does a pretty decent job at trying. I know many of you will have a stroke just thing about not picking a DT, DE, or RT in the first round, but I feel I addressed those positions decently.

xskyx Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Gotta remember there's a Julio contract on the horizon.One thing Dimi does great is structure contracts. I've got faith in him to make the right cuts and add replacements as needed, while structuring for Julio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Kent™ Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 So your wanting to pay Monroe the $10m per year he is asking and stick him at RT?" I don't think so Tim " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlGM Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I really like whag you did with draft although I don't think ny would have to move up to get a quality wide out. Also I doubt we could get monroe to sign to play RT contractually and schematically there would be some huge hurdles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power I Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I like it. There are exactly two players in this draft that I like that aren't in our normal draft range, which would be Calvin Pryor and Aaron Donald. Dimitroff can play this draft in a lot of different ways. He can go for the home run (which I think he will do for Clowney after certain moves in free agency) or he can go for the depth (which I would do with such a deep draft). I really think there's a huge opportunity to set this team up for another 5 year run this offseason. If we make the right moves it can certainly happen.

JulioisCoolio Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't see a reason for bringing in Lamarr Houston and drafting Stephon Tuitt both. They're basically the same player. Don't hate it, don't love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hate it, don't love it.Osi is purely rotational at this point. Kroy is gone. Those 2 guys will be our bread and butter pass rushers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardyfalcon Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I like it. I might change a guy or 2 in the later rounds but I would be happy with that offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Day Hoe Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 There is a lot to like about what you did there. I would be surprised if we didn't keep our pick at six. I think the brain trust wants a marquis rookie pick to build the lines around. Love the Andre Williams in the fourth round pick. He ran well at the combine for a 230lb bruiser.

vel Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I don't think anybody has researched a single mid round NT other than McCullers, and I doubt it's been much research on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I MUS WRITE Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) This is one of the better mocks that I have seen a little pricey but totally doable. I don't know if re-signing Babs and peters is the best idea. I would be ok with one not both returning Edited March 8, 2014 by I MUS WRITE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xskyx Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Good thing all our draft picks end up being starters.... Oh wait.The aim of a draft is to attempt to plug the holes we have. No, they won't all start. Some may fail horribly. That's just part of it. You hit some, you miss some.Any other words of wisdom you can grace us with?
