Jrry32 Post FA Mock Draft - 3/25/13

[jrry32]

In this mock, I'm going to assume that the Panthers take Tavon Austin, Jarvis Jones goes before our pick and someone snags Warmack just to change things up. I am not doing trade downs in this mock. Here's what I would personally do:
NFL Draft
Round 1 Pick #16 - Cordarrelle Patterson WR/RS/HB Tennessee

Explanation: I don't care that Patterson is raw, he's a big WR with explosive speed, freaky movement skills and has the ability to be an excellent route runner if he works at it. If he is coachable and has a strong work ethic, he could be one of if not the best WR in the league.

Round 1 Pick #22 - Jesse Williams NT Alabama

Explanation: This might have caught you guys off guard but I figured why not? Lets take a chance on the extremely talented and massive Aussie. Williams needs to keep his pad level down and needs development on his pass rush moves but he'd be a major addition for our rush defense next to Brockers.

Round 2 Pick #16 - Giovani Bernard HB North Carolina

Explanation: This play should sum it up: <a class="postlink" href="http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:8615235" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:8615235</a>

Round 3 Pick #16 - Bacarri Rambo FS Georgia

Explanation: Rambo offers a play-making coverage safety. We could always use a guy who can force some turnovers and make some plays as a center-fielder in our secondary.

Round 4 Pick #16 - Tyrann Mathieu CB/S/PR LSU

Explanation: Taking a chance on a playmaker here that could contribute at CB, Safety and on special teams. Hopefully Cortland will be able to mentor him and help him turn things around. Still, worth the risk in the 4th round.

Round 5 Pick #16 - Gerald Hodges OLB Penn State

Explanation: Good sized LB with good instincts and athleticism. Can't argue with LB U.

Round 6 Pick #16 - Earl Watford OG James Madison

Explanation: Taking a shot on a small school kid with good athleticism and technique. Could stand to add a few pounds and improve functional strength but has ability and upside at OG. Lets see if Coach Bou can coach him up.

Round 7 Pick #16 - TJ Moe WR Missouri

Explanation: Why not take a chance on another scrappy, quicker than fast WR? Need depth at WR and maybe he becomes something more than depth.

Just thought it would be entertaining if I changed things up some with so many mocks recently being similar. Thoughts?

I liked your previous one better.

I think a lot of us forget that we have one of the best receiver coaches in Sherman. so I think any of these receivers can be electric.

 

[den-the-coach]

Love Giovani Bernard and IMO the Panthers go Patterson over Austin just because right now so many are hung up on size at the WR spot and IMO that will play out on draft day, but overall I would be pleaed with that draft.

Williams pick is intriguing because I am wondering if an OLB like Brown slips would the Rams go there? And thank you once again as you provide excellent hors d'oeuvres before the 25th of April! As to Tyrann Mathieu I love the kid, but will the Rams have trepidations with the recent development of Johnson?

I can get on board w/ Cordarrele Patterson, but not on Jesse Williams. Dude is a 3-4 NT. He can be an option for the Saints or Steelers. Besides, I don't want 2 developmental raw guys in the 1st. This and next year are the Rams' oppurtunity to get impact rookies and help win now and for the future rather than just the future.

Rams should always be doing their best to maximize their picks in my opinion. Plus...was Michael Brockers supposed to be an "impact rookie"?

I think so. It's more scheme wise than anything. He's a perfect 3-4 NT.

I think he's just as good if not a better fit at 4-3 NT.

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree here.

I think they'll go offensive skill posistions early and often.
