Like last year, BBQ will do a series of mock drafts and will provide continual updates based on team needs, free agency additions/losses, and injuries. Another mock will posted in early March and will be updated weekly at that juncture. The frequency of mocks will increase as we get closer to the draft and it will be a daily feature in the final week. Feel free to add your own ideas and mocks as we go along.
Team needs are S, RT, CB, TE, and DL. Some of these issues could be settled (somewhat) in free agency, but we will address those potential signings in future mocks. Let’s get this first mock in the books.
Round 2:
Jonathan Cyprien – Free Safety, Florida International
Considered to be one of the top five free safeties in the draft, Cyprien has an all-around skillset and size to succeed.
Round 3:
Kyle Long – Offensive Tackle, Oregon
The son of Hall-of-Famer Howie Long is an athletic tackle who started out on the defensive side. He has shined since moving to the offense and could fit in well coming from Oregon’s progressive system.
Round 4:
Terry Hawthorne – Cornerback, Illinois
Hawthorne has good size and quickness for a CB and is very physical. His performance in the Shrine game boosted his stock.
Round 5:
Joseph Fauria – Tight End, UCLA
Fauria had a great senior season and is an excellent red zone target with his height and athleticism. He needs to improve on blocking skills, but his size is an asset in the passing game.
Round 5:
Darius Slay - Cornerback, Mississippi St
Slay is an underrated cornerback prospect who had a solid senior campaign. He has good speed, good coverage skills, and better than average size.
Round 6:
Stefphon Jefferson – Running Back, Nevada
We don’t need a running back? Ok, that’s fine, but Mike Shanahan has this uncanny habit of finding hidden gems at this position and Jefferson fits the bill. Many scouts are calling him this year’s Alfred Morris. Jefferson’s offense ran the pistol and he had a great year. Enough said.
Round 7:
Brandon Williams, Defensive Tackle, Missouri Southern
Williams comes from a small school, but could have a big impact at the next level. His stats are impressive and he had a very good showing at the Senior Bowl.
