DJ's first mock draft

[supafreak84]

I mean, that's beyond awful...so maybe something Kwesi considers? No more safeties, and no more Georgia safeties. Safety is not a need on this team, even if Harrison Smith doesn't come back.

Right???  Even assuming worst case scenario...  Harry retires and Bynum leaves for a big deal with another team...  We still have Metellus and Theo Jackson.  You find some cheap depth to compete and go from there.

If we re-sign Bynum and have Metellus and Theo Jackson, safety is at the bottom of the list of draft needs.

One thing I just noticed about this mock is that DJ has two IOLs going 10th and 11th overall. This is the first time I've seen any ranking at all with IOLs in the top 30 or so, but DJ's a little more plugged in than most, especially this early.

The thinner the position group,  the more it will be in demand for the teams with needs, promting some to jump earlier than the talent dictates?

DT, C, OG instead please.

most likely DT,  I agree with others that IOL needs to be addressed in FA in order to have a competent OL for JJM to grow behind.

A good argument for trading down from 24. A good argument for teams not to trade up with us.

As a big Kwesi defender I really don't wanna see another first round fleecing. The ingredients might be there but I'm sure he's learned his lesson. Right. Right?

They swung a big bat for a DT last FA, wouldn't surprise me if they did it again. Hopefully they wont strike out this time. 

A pass rushing DT is such a big need, they had to blitz a S or LB a lot to get pressure last year. That left too many gaping holes in the middle of the field too often.

well I know we have a fat bank account for FA,  but I dont think we have enough to add high tier talent to the OL,  and DL, and still fill the other holes we have.  We are going to likely have to use that first rounder on a player that we fully expect to make a first year impact at an area of need.  IMO DT is likely that spot.
