NSBB NFL Mock Draft 2012

[davell]

Might as well get the Bears discussion going, I think we probably all agree the 3 biggest needs are WR, CB, and O Line. I don't see value in a CB here, same with O Line. Brooks seems like a project to me. As far as WR's go, I love Criner here. I thinkRaw likes Marvin Jones. McNutt could be a possibility, as could Toon. My vote goes to Criner though. I'd love to add another big guy who creates after the catch.

Chargers select CB Jayron Hosley, Virginia Tech.

I do like Marvin Jones a lot. I think Brandon Brooks may be too good to pass up, if he's still on the board.

 

Jones or Brooks. Fine with either.

[davell]

Damn, I didn't realize Hosley was still on the board or he would have been great for the Bears. I think Brooks is a project personally and a 3rd round OG should probably be able to step in and start. I like Criner more than Jones, but I'm fine with either and am also OK with McNutt here.

Don't let the small school and lack of a combine invite fool you, Brooks isn't really a project. He can play pretty early on, IMO. But I also don't know that the Bears would go DL and OL with the first 3 picks in this or any draft.

If anybody doesn't want to continue to Round 4, let me know either here or via PM. I'm guessing there will be enough interest, but if enough people drop out then we'll stop after the third round.

 

Next 3 picks:

79. Cardinals (PTW)

80. Cowboys (vance, imb!)

81. Titans (dew, PCP)

 

Again, if anybody isn't sure they'll be available to make the pick, shoot me a PM with your top 4 choices. Also, if you don't want to continue into round 3, PM me to let me know.

[davell]

If anyone drops out, I'll pick up a team, if needed.

F yeah same here.

 

Btw that VT CB was still on the board? Wow he'll go earlier.

[rawaction]

Yeah, I'm loving the Chargers draft for them. I knew there was someone still on the board at CB when Josh Norman went.

[Guest]

I like Brandon Brooks a lot here too.

[dew1679666265]

Yeah, I'm loving the Chargers draft for them. I knew there was someone still on the board at CB when Josh Norman went.

 

I actually like Norman more than Hosley. I've not watched much of either, but from what I've read, Norman seems to have much more upside and is a more complete corner. Hosley probably goes first, but I really like what I've read on Norman.

I like Norman a lot too. But I like Norman in the 3rd or 4th vs. Hosley in the 2nd or 3rd. I don't know that I would pick Norman over Hosley unless it was a size thing. Norman does have more upside, but VT DBs can typically play and are well coached. Hosley also has elite ball skills with a 9 INT season under his belt in 2010. That's tough to overlook, even though he didn't repeat it this year.

[davell]

I like Brandon Brooks a lot here too.

Do you see WR being plentiful by the time we pick again? I think it's still the bigger need of the two.

[davell]

Strike that. Looking through the O Linemen left, it's kind of now or never. Hopefully a WR drops. That said, I feel very confident we'll be taking a WR inside the top 3 rounds in real life.

I hear you but Brooks is BPA and better than Criner (who I prefer to Jones).

[davell]

There may very well be a decent WR left over for us. I counted 9 still on the board I have some interest in.

Yeah, almost went with Marvin Jones but just didn't feel the heat. Someone will probably take him but there's just a crap ton of WRs worthy of being drafted this year...still a big fan of Jarius Wright.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I'm not even too sure who we should draft, but a CB or G would make a lot of sense

Hosley's definitely the more developed, safer player. I'm really big on upside, though, and I just don't see a lot in Hosley. I can definitely see the argument for taking Hosley over Norman and in certain situations I would. But just in a general sense, I prefer the higher risk/higher reward Norman over the low ceiling/high floor Hosley.

You're on the clock with the Cardinals.

[dew1679666265]

You're on the clock with the Cardinals.

 

Is Brooks the pick?

[davell]

Gotta be. Said he's BPA.

[dew1679666265]

Gotta be. Said he's BPA.

 

That's what I figured. I'll go ahead and make him the pick, then.

82. Bengals (davell)

Cardinals select TE Michael Egnew Missouri

 

Might have went WR but Heap is the best TE on the roster. Egnew is a pass catcher anyway, and Brandon Brooks went one pick ahead (SO close). Has the size to be a complete TE and a help to Skelton/Fitzgerald and the underrated Doucet.
