MOCK FUCKING DRAFT Part 4

19) Philadelphia:
Needs: S, DE, TE, CB, OT, RB,

Pick: Calais Campbell, DE, Miami, Fla.

Plays Like: Julius Peppers

Campbell would have been a top 5 pick if he showed up this season. Basically, the thing with him is unreal potential. Campbell was supposed to be a top 5 pick this season but had a disappointing season to put it mildly. Campbell has the size and arm strength to even play a 3-4 end but will likely find a home with a 4-3 team. Campbell may be the latest freak at defensive end. He has a great frame with room to get bigger, but excellent athleticism to go along with it. He is very tall, and could fill out to near 300 pounds once he’s done growing. He is a major threat off the edge as a pass rusher. His size and size potential will allow him to help out in run support. Campbell’s hype right now is based more off of potential than his on field production. He has proven he can get to the QB, but he needs to refine his skills. The Eagles will likely dump Kearse and Darren Howard and find another pass rusher to pair with the improving Trent Cole so look for their choice to be DE.

20) Tampa Bay:
Needs: DT, WR, OT, CB

Pick: Sam Baker, OT, USC

Plays Like: Matt Light

Baker is an excellent all around offensive tackle prospect. He is a solid athlete, with the ability to move well laterally, keeping defenders away from his QB in pass protection. Baker is also sound at the point of attack, and can push defenders around to clear out room in the running game. It is hard to criticize Baker’s game, but if pressed, it is that he does not have any one truly amazing physical trait. He is not a mammoth offensive lineman that can just drive defenders into the ground, and he’s not the athletic freak that can mirror every end he faces.

21) Washington:
Needs: DE, WR, OG, DT, CB, OT, RB, SLB

Pick: Philip Merling, DE, Clemson

Plays Like: Jared Allen

Skins have had a shit pass rush for about uh 5 years now is it? Merling is exactly that. He is big, mean and exceptionally mobile for a 270 lb guy. Merling is one of the ACC’s most dominating players over the past 3 seasons and with a poor showing by DE’s in the senior bowl will likely shoot himself up into the first round. Heck even Mel Kiper had this guy on his draft board @ #9 !!! Are you serious Mel? Merling can do it all and has a nonstop motor that can give the Redskins someone who can finally do something rushing from the 3 point stance but seriously #9?!?!

22) Dallas:
Needs: WR, RB, CB, FS, DE

Pick: Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas

Plays Like: Kevin Faulk on speed.

Ok so either Barber or Julius Jones is gone this offseason. I’m going to bet that Jones will be that asshole. Felix can bring the cowboys a threat to go yard every time he touches the ball. Jones is a one cut runner with mad explosiveness and good patience. He has sprinters Speed and excels in space with elite elusive ability. Like Faulk, it is unsure whether or not Jones can be the #1 back. Regardless he is an elite weapon and a PERFECT compliment to Marion Barber.

23) Pittsburgh:
Needs: OC, OT, DE, ILB, WR, RB, CB, QB

Pick: Jeff Otah, LT, PITT

Plays Like: Marcus McNeil

If only the Steelers could have first round option at center but sadly they will have to find a LT. Marvel Smith is on his last legs (err. Back) but the replacement must be found this season. Smith has one year remaining on a contract and will likely be left to find greener pastures. Otah is a hoss with strength and you know athletic ability which hasn’t been seen in a Steeler left tackle in ages. Otah does have some negatives in that the home boy needs to lay off excessive beer and pizza but isn’t that most offensive linemen. Otah has the skills there to be able to protect the Franchise Ben Roethlisberger for the next 10 years.

24) Tennessee:
Needs: WR, DE, OL, RB, FS, SS, CB

Pick: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas

Plays Like: Plaxico Burress

Why not hook up Vince with his boy from Texas. Limas is a huge target, that couples his size and strength with impressive athleticism that physically overpowers defenders. He is an excellent intermediate threat, but has shown the ability to get down the field vertically as well. He has deceptive speed and once he gets down the field, his size and body control take over, and he becomes a nightmare matchup. He can go up and get the football as well as anyone in the draft. Sweed does lack the speed to run be defenders and the quickness in and out of breaks to shake defenders but would likely be a welcome addition to a mediocre Titans offense.

25) Seattle:
Needs: RB, TE, OG, OT, FB, CB

Pick: Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois

Plays Like: Larry Johnson

A bruising runner with a dense frame and perfect pad level, Mendenhall showed the ability to take it to the house in the bowl game. He is a patient running style and possibly the best receiver our of the top backs. A perfect fit for Seattle’s offense. He has great size and speed.. Runs hard with a great body lean to fight for every extra yardage he can muster. If there is an issue with Mendenhall (Mendelbaum, Mendelbaum) is that he has shown a propensity to fumble but that can be corrected.
