Kiings Mock Draft
1. Los Angeles Rams
Needs :QB, TE, OL, DT
The Pick: Colton Pascoe, QB, San Diego State
Verdict: I traded Levi Cason, knowing that I would receive the #1 pick and have the quarterback of my choice. Colton will surely need some developing but adding another rushing threat hopefully proves to be valuable.
2. Washington Football Team
Needs :QB, OL, S, OLB
The Pick: Kenny McMillian, QB, Florida
Verdict: The Football team must replace Jordan Love, and adding a quarterback with good throwpower and speed will prove valuable.
3. Dallas Cowboys
Needs :DE, S, RB
The Pick: Antonio Edwards, FS, Boston College
Verdict: The Dallas Cowboys need to replace Micah Hyde before it is to late. They are drafting the best player in the draft here and can't wait till their next pick to snag him, or he will be gone.
4. Baltimore Ravens
Needs: LB, DT, G, CB
The Pick: Mitch Spriggs, OLB, Oklahoma
Verdict: The Ravens need to find LBs, and Mitch Spriggs may be the best of the bunch.
5. Philadelphia Eagles
Needs: RB, LB, OL
The Pick: Ben Stoudemire, RB, Oklahoma
Verdict: Myles Sanders was shipped out of town, but is replaced with a better player. Stoudemire has the makings of a BL HOF if used correctly in philly.
6. Minnesota Vikings
Needs :QB, LB, OL
The Pick: Steven Halen, MLB, LSU
Verdict: Simply put, the Best User LB available on a team that needs help at LB.
7. Los Angeles Rams
Needs: TE, OL, DT
The Pick: Nazir Knight, DT, Michigan
Verdict: Defensive Tackle is the last big need on this defense, and plugging Nazir Knight may immediately solve that need.
8. Dallas Cowboys
Needs: DE, S, RB
The Pick: Will Breeland, DE, Auburn
Verdict: Will Breeland is a speed rushing defensive end that will provide the front seven of this defense with an explosive pass rusher.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Needs: OL, OLB, S
The Pick: Harold Lewis, DE, Tennessee
Verdict: With no OLB on the board worth taking, the Buccaneers take Harold Lewis, use his speed, and convert him to OLB.
10. Dallas Cowboys
Needs: DE, S, RB
The Pick: Dwayne Allen, RB, UCF
Verdict: An aging Phillip Lindsay is the only thing the Dallas Cowboys have left in their back field. Being able to take Dwayne Allen will provide the Cowboys with a workhorse in the backfield, setting up deep shots to their explosive Wrs.
11. Houston Texans
Needs: TE, DE, CB, S
The Pick: Jaron Stringer, DE, UCF
Verdict: Another team that needs pass rush is benefitted from a deep Defensive End class.
12. Detroit Lions
Needs: WR, DE, OLB
The Pick: Aaron Ellis, WR, Tennessee
Verdict: Aaron Ellis is the best Wr in this class.
13. Pittsburgh Steelers
Needs: QB, OL, DE
The Pick: Stanley Cohen, DE, Oregon State
Verdict: Stanley Cohen fits perfectly into the Pittsburgh 3-4 Defense and provides youth and upside to this dominant front 7.
14. Jacksonville Jaguars
Needs: TE, S, OL
The Pick: Martin Bigby, CB, Nevada
Verdict: Jacksonville needs to remake their safety position, as their current starters simply cannot compete in this league with their lack of speed. Adding Martin provides them an opportunity to convert a CB to Safety.
15. Miami Dolphins
Needs: LB, CB, WR, OL
The Pick: Delvin Johns, WR, Boise State
Verdict: The first "Reach" in this draft but I beleive it is worth making for the Dolphins as it provides them with an unique weapon. Doom is a user that many respect and pairing his user with a fast receiver that needs development, in my mind, is the perfect fit.
16. Buffalo Bills
Needs: OL, DE, LB
The Pick: Jonathan Kirkpatrick, DT, Penn State
Verdict: The Buffalo Bills add to their strong Defensive line with the addition of Jonathan Kirkpatrick.
