MOCK FUCKING DRAFT Part 3

13) Carolina:

Needs: OT, WR, S, RB, DE, SLB

Pick: Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt

Plays Like: D’Brickashaw Ferguson

Williams has a lot of talent. He has all the physical tools to play on Sundays, and eventually start. He is a good athlete that has the lateral agility to keep his quarterback clean. He also has the size and strength to match up with bigger ends and not get pushed around. He has experience at both tackle and guard, which gives him more than one position to try and stick at. Williams is raw but is gaining traction amongst various draft experts for that dreaded p word. (No not that p word…potential) Carolina has had an underachieving line for years now. A stronger line will help the running game and than the Delhomme and the pass attack can only benefit.

14) Chicago:

Needs: QB, LT, RB, WR, FS, LG, SS

Pick: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville

Plays Like: Marc Bulger

Chi town has big time concerns on the offensive side of the football. Obviously, Rexy is too inconsistent to be in your long term plans so I look for the Bears to fix that QB position. Brohm struggled this season for Louisville but that wasn’t because of him. Brohm has it all from a physical standpoint. He has a nice frame, and is sturdy enough to sit in the pocket and take a hit. His arm is excellent, and he can make all the throws. He is also a good athlete with the mobility to elude the rush and buy more time. On the field, Brohm has proven to be an extremely efficient QB, making smart decisions and not turning the ball over very often. The negative for Brohm is that he has some injury concerns over his past 4 season at Louisville.


15) Detroit:

Needs: CB, RT, DE, SLB, S, G,

Pick: Dominique Rogers Cromartie, CB, Tenn. State

Plays Like: Antonio Cromartie

Detroit will likely be losing its two top corners this season who weren’t anything to write home about anyway so might as well go for the guy who is rapidly rising on everyone’s draft board. DRC had a stellar senior bowl where he shut down anyone he was matched up against. He’s got it all. Speed, tackling and excellent footwork. The only issue for him is the lack of competition. Regardless, DRC showed he can hang with the best seniors in the country and may possibly be the top corner selected after the scouting combine.


16) Arizona:
Needs: CB, RB, FS, LB, DL, OG, WR,
Pick: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon

Plays Like: Steven Jackson

Sadly, Stewart is a true stud and deserves way better in this mock. Stewart is a tough runner who combines athleticism and speed with raw power. He's a tough tackle for anyone and is almost certain to break the tackle in the open field on a defensive back. He has some outstanding balance and the added abilirty to break arm tackles. Big back with size @ 235 pounds with great feet that also runs hard. Has some injury concerns but is a superstar in the making and will gladly be a boost to Edge James.

17) Minnesota:

Needs: G, QB, WR, DE, DT, FS, SS, CB, RS, FB, TE, LB*, RT

Pick: Malcom Kelly, WR, Oklahoma

Plays Like: Roy Williams

Kelly has an impressive collection of talent. He has excellent size, and has shown the ability to go over the middle and take a hit. His size also is on display in one on one situations, as he towers over most corners. Kelly combines that size with excellent athletic ability. He has the ball skills to go up and tangle with the defender in the air and come down with the football. His size and athleticism should make him a major threat in the red zone. He does lack breakaway speed but Kelly is by no means slow.


18) Houston:
Needs:
OL, RB, FS, SS, CB

Pick: Kenny Phillips, S, Miami, Fla.

Plays Like: Mike Huff

In its 5 year existence, Houston has yet to experience good safety play. Luckily, for them, the best safety prospect in the draft comes to the Texicans to help give them some sort of help on the backend. Phillips has elite skills with speed and tackling ability. He could actually you know kind of support Dunta Robinson in the secondary. The Texans are slowly but surely immobilizing a great defense.
