A 6 Round Mock Somebody Saw Fit for Us
-
I was looking online today for some Mock Drafts out there just to piece together some names with our various draft slots. This one site had 6 rounds full of prospects going to each of the 32 different NFL teams. I found this interesting and of course I think you'll notice some errors in judgement as to where some of these guys will fall to. I can't imagine our SEC fans hating this mock draft.
1st Round #7 CB Joe Haden UF (Revis shows us the value of a shutdown corner)
2nd Round #39 WR Brandon Lefell LSU (need a big play? not a bad choice)
3rd Round #70 QB Jevan Snead Ole Miss (if we get the junior season version that wouldn't suck)
3rd Round #84 OLB Jason Worilds VT
4th Round #102 DE Lindsey Witten UConn
5th Round #130 DE Greg Romeus Pitt
5th Round #134 QB Max Hall BYU (don't know him but I want 2 QBs in this draft)
5th Round #148 SS Kurt Coleman OSU
6th Round #160 TE Aaron Hernandez UF (this late doesn't seem realistic but I'd love it)
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -
No to Worlids,Whitte
Hell no to snead and Hall
Coleman, Hernandez and Romeues should all be gone

I don't like this list.

I like the first pick. @@
But I'd gladly change all the others, especially since there's no RT in the whole thing. bah.

Not bad....I like Snead.
I agree on Hernandez...the kid isn't a dummy. He probably got a late 1st, top of the 2nd grade by the folks who advise jrs thinking of leaving early, and that is probably where he goes.
I would be shocked if he lasts until the mid 2nd round.
-
Hernandez has 1st round talent, but he could slide because he's not a great blocker. Also, Urban Meyer and him didn't see eye to eye, which could scare off some teams.
I love his receiving ability: talent-wise, he's somewhere between Dustin Keller and Kellen Winslow. If BQ's going to be our QB, he needs someone like Hernandez to make plays for him in the middle of the field.
-
Some thoughts:
- Love the Haden pick- LaFell's a lot like MoMass: good size, above average speed, mediocre hands. But I don't think he's as smart or a great character guy. Not an awful pick at #39, but he wouldn't be my first choice- Not a big Snead fan. Watching him is good for comedic value, but only if he's not on your team.- Worilds has special ability: he's more explosive off the snap than any of our edge rushers. However, he's got a scary history of shoulder issues and was very inconsistent this year. He might be worth a gamble in the 3rd because of his upside.- Romeus could be a top ten pick next year; he opted to return to Pitt for his senior year. -

LOL! Thanks for your honesty Buckeye! What good is a mock draft if you can't mock it?
Not sure I know which version of Jevan Snead is heading to the NFL so I understand your discomfort with him. The one in 2008 did a pretty nice job in a pretty tough conference; and I think he became the only blemish on Florida's National Championship season. Losing a HUGE target like Mike Wallace was a bigger blow to him than anyone anticipated. Somebody corrected me on Snead but I believe he was a transfer if I'm not mistaking which impacts his eligibility.
Hall? I have to be honest - I don't watch too many BYU football games in my area of the country to give a fair answer on what I think he has. You sound like you've seen enough of him to never want more. What are his biggest weaknesses that assure you he won't make it at the next level?
As for Hernandez, I'd be happy with him in round 3 so that round 6 thing seemed way off. That guy is Kellen Winslow without the Diva dress and protective Hall of Fame father.
I thought the first 2 guys he mentioned were pretty logical choices on a team looking for playmakers on offense and defense. It feels like Brandon Lefell has been making big plays at Death Valley for alot more than 4 years. That kid is gonna be a pretty damn good draft pick for somebody if he falls to round 2.

Snead transferred from Texas after 2006 when he couldn't beat out Colt McCoy.

Thanks Earl!
I gotta be honest - the 2009 season for Snead was a head scratcher. There were some high expectations for him after a nice 2008 season. I only saw limited parts of 4 Ole Miss games in 2009. However, I was completely baffled at how little they tried using McCusker in all 4 games I watched. When I say that - I meant their best scoring weapon was off the field when they were playing offense alot more than he should have been in lieu of much lesser players. It also seemed like they were far too reluctant to put him in the backfield because they wanted to go with a slower power back instead. Couldn't understand the mentality for the life of me but oh well. That being the case, I'm not sold ALL of Snead's 09 shortcomings were entirely his fault. What was his fault was too many INTs for comfort. I quickly learned how important Mike Wallace was to their offense in 08 and how much the chemistry changed in his absence.
As I've shared on occasion, I have season tix to Vanderbilt Games. I gotta tell you the best pass I saw in college football this year came from an absolute rope Snead threw hitting his receiver in stride right at the goal line along the the right sideline. It was about a 45 yard throw where he scrambled to his right. We all thought it was going to be a sack on 3rd and forever. Turns out it became the nail in the Vandy's coffin that day.
Who knows - maybe the right franchise, coaching staff and surrounding players can make him a decent mid to late round pick. I don't remember too many people thinking Tom Brady was gonna be very significant while I've seen some franchises drafting goofballs like Kyle Boller, Patrick Ramsey and JP's Lost-man in round 1. The QB position hasn't ever been an exact science so I heard many reasons why Joe Montana wasn't worthy of 1st round consideration only to hear Rick Mirer was. Meanwhile, Joe Theismann, Warren Moon and Jeff Garcia had to prove themselves in Canada before they could frequent Pro Bowls in the NFL. Make sense? It shouldn't.

Snead's play in the Vandy game really disappointed me. When you've got a sizable but not insurmountable 23-0 lead in the 3rd Q, you can't throw super-dumb picks on consecutive drives, as Snead did.
He's got a strong arm, but the accuracy just isn't there. And based on what I've seen, I'm inclined to believe the smarts aren't either.

That was back when Ole Miss was impacted with 28 cases of the swine flu the week of and the week before the matchup. Reality is they weren't going to play their best ball when they were starting alot of JV equivalents. Just to illustrate this I'll show you exactly how many touches their best player McCluster had (below) because he barely played. When there's backups that aren't accustomed to playing with starters - you get guys running the wrong routes, turning the wrong way and protections breaking down which can REALLY make a QB look bad or as you said "lacking smarts." When everyone seemed to be on the same page - I saw 3 TD passes by Snead and one was as purdy as it gets. In the 6 home games I attended - guess how many opposing QBs threw at least 3 TD passes on them besides Snead? Zero.
Mississippi Rushing
CAR YDS TD LG
Bolden 16 89 0 16
Snead 5 28 0 24
Mississippi Receiving
REC YDS TD LG
Hodge 8 122 2 48
McCluster 2 42 0 24
I already said the 2009 season for Snead was a head scratcher. That doesn't change there were high expectations for this kid based on the standard he set in 2008 against some pretty tough competition including the National Champions he beat at Florida. I had 0 to do with this kid's hype. I'm not pretending to be an Ole Miss expert in this so I didn't have enough evidence to inform you what it was that changed his performance level. Maybe it's a SMALL imperfection the right coach can tweak back into the promising kid from 08. I dunno.
FWIW, I'm not saying throw away our 10 other picks so we can draft Snead in round 1. In fact, I'm mostly bringing up QBs we can look at AFTER round 1 Alo so there's going to be imperfections with each. Truth is - I hadn't even considered Snead at all until I saw this mock draft. Then I started to think maybe he's worth consideration in a mid or late round, not to be confused with round 1 or even round 2. SOMETIMES a player like Dan Marino can have that disappointing final college season that creates enough doubt to make him slide on draft day. Maybe it's mechanical that a Houston Nutt isn't wired to correct but a pro coach can. Somebody once saw there was much more to Dan Marino than the extract of games from his senior year. IMO, that's misinterpreting the rule for the exception to it. There had to be enough assets a pro coach saw he could work with. I just don't think a good player wakes up a crappy player 1 morning any more than I think a crappy player can disguise himself as a good player for 13 consecutive ballgames. There's gotta be more to the story when a good player struggles. A good scout will find out what it is specifically: injury/mechanics/emotional/cognitive/roster turbulence/crappy coaching/whatever. That's why your buddy Flugel preaches TOTAL body of work instead of extracts.

Fair points, Tom.
But just to clarify things, I didn't pull the intelligence Q out of thin air: there have been reports that the coaching staff felt Snead didn't have a strong command of the offense, and multiple sites have reported that he would have faced competition for the starting job had he returned to Ole Miss for his senior year.
We can agree to disagree on this one: I'll stick with "I don't think so," you can stick with "Well, you never know..."
But it's good to see that Mayock agrees with us on Clausen:

Tom, Alo is correct about the intelligence issue. McCoy and Snead were in a dead heat to win the QB job at Texas and Snead did not pick up the offense as quickly. If you look at Snead and judge him by the "eyeball test", he certainly seems to fit the mold even moreso than McCoy yet he couldn't beat him out. I don't know if Ole Miss had to dumb down their offense a la Virginia Tech for Michael Vick but it's been an issue from what I've heard from people in the Texas program.

1ST - Joe Haden CB (Florida)
2ND - Anthony Davis OT (Rutgers)
3RD- Dan LeFevour QB (Central Michian)
3RD- Reshad Jones S (Florida)
4TH- Jon Asamoah OG (Illinois)
Well, there is my top prospects for the browns in the first 4 rounds. I can only hope.

That's a nice list but I don't believe Davis will fall to the second round. I think he's pretty surely a first rounder.
