Nice Job LJ. I wouldn't hate this draft at all. I'm a big trenches guy and we certainly would beef up the OL with this. I don't know enough about some of the defensive guys you picked but will do some homework.

I do like the Fales pick for the future (if needed). I'm souring on Lewan. Not from a talent standpoint. I keep reading all these negative things about him. Rape, beating up another guy in a bar, etc. Don't know how true they are, but it's a concern.

I'm also a big UCLA fan. I think Barr adds another dimension we need from the LB spot. Nice job bro.

I will say this...I wanted Clinton-Dix at 19, but he was gone already. I dont know much about OT after the second round and when I did pick a OT in the 2nd round. I got a bad grade each time. I still doing my homework there.

I've said in a different thread that I thought the pick grades were all about the player and not where you picked him. That seems to be totally incorrect. Now I'm not sure what it means. :disappoint:

As for your mock, why the OLB as our first pick? I'm pretty sure you want him to replace Dunbar and I want to replace him too but Dunbar doesn't play in obvious passing downs because of his lack of coverage skills. It appears you're replacing him with a player with a similar skill set (although he probably does it better). I can't find any analysis of him that praises his pass defending skills. Many sites list him as a 3-4 OLB like the site I list below. What's your thinking on this?

Has "Collapsing for Clowney" given way to "Bombing for Barr?" If you run a 3-4 defense, it has, with NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks pointing to the production and versatility UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr has shown this season to outpace South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.

I like it overall.

Two OLBs in the top two rounds? Are you planning on replacing JL55? Not sure that's good value at all since we're mostly in the nickle or dime package to prevent passing. He wouldn't be used enough to warrant the high pick.

That's the only thing I don't get with this draft.

Barr with Ogletree would be a great thing...especially in this division.

Ok, but only if you sign Tyler Thigpin...:heh:

I like it!

Just not sexy enough for me. I don't think we need a LB that high if we resign Dnbar. I think we need to land at least one of the big playmakers in round 1, via Watkins/Clowney.
