1. Barrett Jones, C, Alabama

Obviously, we need help at Center. We are currently on our 5th different guy to play that position for us in 2 years.

2. James Gayle, DE/OLB, Virginia Tech

If Anthony Spencer continues to play the way he has thus far, he will be too expensive to re-sign. We'll need a replacement.

3. Omoregie Uzzi, OG, Georgia Tech

Anyone with half a brain can see that Burnindeuce ain't working out at LG. Does that mean Jerry Jones can see it? Probably not, but it would be nice if this pick happened.

4. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon

Felix Jones is gone at the end of this season. We'll need a RB with speed and elusiveness to complement Murray. He can also be the KR.

5. James Hurst, OT, North Carolina

With Doug Free struggling and only Jermey Parnell behind him, some depth/competetion is needed.

6. Branden Smith, CB, Georgia

With us likely losing Mike Jenkins in FA, we will only have 3 quality CB's on the roster. Gotta have some depth.

7. Traded for Ryan Cook.

Will this Draft happen? I doubt it. We have ignored the O-line for so long it is easy to believe the trend will continue. But, last season our defense was the weak link. In free agency and the draft, we addressed it early and often. Maybe this year we'll do the same to the offensive line. One can hope anyway.

My way-early-and-still-a-work-in-progress mock.

If you don't know how I do mocks - understand I don't accept the "that player will never fall that far" as a logical answer. The honest answer is you have no idea where he will be drafted and I don't either. Top prospects fall every year, and no-name players rise. It happens.

Re-Sign
D. McCray signs Tender
B. Church signs Tender
Ladouceur signs 3 year deal

Let's Go
M. Jenkins signs with Atlanta
A. Spencer signs with Indianapolis
F. Jones signs with Tampa

FA Signing
Glenn Dorsey - Not a sexy pick, and a player who has under-produced. He get's a change of venue.

Jairus Byrd - Our Big FA signing. This is in aim of solidifying our secondary.

Josh Cribbs - While not a force on the passing game, Cribbs is brought in to improve our return game.

1. Jackson Jeffcoat, OLB Texas
2. Chance Warmack, OG Alabama
3. Aaron Murray, QB Georgia
4. Shariff Floyd, DE Florida
5. Travis Swanson, OL Arkansas
6. Greg Reid, CB, Florida State
7. Traded for Ryan Cook

6. Mike Glennon QB North Carolina State
7. Traded for Ryan Cook

EDIT: This is assuming we bring Spencer back

Couple things about these mocks since I'm already here:
1) Star is one of the few elite prospects in this years draft...I don't think you guys will be able to get him straight up for your 1st round picks
2) Unless the Packers draft Barrett Jones I doubt Holmes would be there in the 2nd. Jeff Saturday is like 90 years old and only has one more year on his contract, Packers have a swing C (only 7 total OL on team) right now and that's it. TT builds the team from the inside out and those two seem to be the only plug and play guys in the draft. Me thinks Thompson drafts one of them.
3) Kenjon is a great dude to get in the 4th. That's probably right around where his value should be TBH. Dude is the best RB UO has had since J-Stew although LaMike and Blount (even DAT) were much better talents and were better with the ball in their hands. Kenjon is on of the few spread RBs that actually has vision and that's what translates in the NFL, not running to the wide side from a short hash and gunning it past everyone because you are faster than everyone.

justo out.

Tha King MOCK OFF-SEASON #1

Release/Not Resigned

- Felix Jones:(UFA) Despite his extremely low production I think we're still going to try and get on on a cheap deal,weirdly,I believe some team like the Bengals will overpay.[/u]

- John Phillips:(UFA) I haven't seen too much of Phillips this year,which leads me to believe he can be replaced,James Hanna will be moved up in the depth chart and we'll sign a blocking tight end.

- Phil Costa:(RFA) I'm hoping this is the end of the Costa era,that is all.

- Mike Jenkins:(UFA) Jenkins will be missed,but with our current players of Carr,Claiborne,and Scandrick being paid I can't see us out-paying a team like the Raiders for him that desperately need a corner.

- Kenyon Coleman:(UFA) Coleman was an average lineman,he provided what was needed in the run game but offered no pass rush.With the emergence of Tyrone Crawford,Sean Lissemore,and having vets Marcus Spears/Jason Hatcher I think the team moves on.

-Kevin Ogletree: I was debating on whether we should resign Ogletree or not,he had his great Giants debut but has been quiet and shown nothing amazing in weeks 2-4.He's been inconsistent and unless he shows some consistency throughout the year I think we let our younger guys(Homles,Beasley,Harris,possible FA/Draft pick) get a chance next year.

Resigned/Extensions

Sean Lee:(Extension) Lee has been playing outstanding and I feel he deserves an extension before anyone else.

Josh Brent:(Extension) A somewhat surprise I suppose,but I feel Brent has filled Ratliff's role quite nicely,he has portrayed some nice push in the pocket,isn't a slouch in the run game and is only 24.

Dan Bailey:(Extension) We have found our kicker of today,and of the future.Bailey has proven to be a consistent kicker for us and deserves a contract extension.

L.P. Ladouceur:(Resigned-3 year deal) L.P is 31,but for a long snapper it doesn't really matter too much.I don't think he will ask for alot and we'll resign him.

Danny McCray:(Resigned-3 year deal/RFA) McCray has been our special teams ace,he finally got his shot to play some safety last week and I hadn't really noticed him(which may be a good thing).He's a Restricted free agent and unless he has a spectacular year the rest of the way I don't see a team willing to give a whole lot to him and we resign him.

Barry Church:(Resigned-One year deal) Church was playing well before he got injured,he'll probably sign a one year deal with us to prove that he's worth a larger contract.

Anthony Spencer:(Resigned-5 year deal) Spencer has had a great year so far and after last week proved that he's a big part of this defense.He'll probably ask for a HUGE deal,but hopefully it'll be fair.

FA SIGNINGS

I currently don't have us signing anyone big outside of our own guys.

Remaining Schedule W/L: (for draft purposes, Red= L Green= W)

I had high hopes for this team,but until our Offensive line is able to block at a consistent level they'll hold us back and force Romo to take chances.

@Ravens
@Panthers
vs Giants
@ Falcons
@ Eagles
vs Browns
vs Redskins
vs Eagles
@ Bengals
vs Steelers
vs Saints
@ Redskins

Record: 7-9 - Draft Pick # 12

2013 NFL DRAFT

Current Picks(after trade): 21,43,76,87,141,173,203,238

TRADE! Yeah,I'm predicting a trade.I want us to draft some help for the interior offensive line,but if we're picking here I don't see anyone worthy of it.We could look at different options such as some defensive line help but I don't envision Star or John Hankins being there at #12.I also don't feel we're ready to give up on Free after this year so RT is out of the question,and after thinking about it we decide to trade back with a team in the early 20's picking up an extra 3rd.

1st Round(Pick #21) - Chance Warmack[OG]: Warmack will immediately step in a Right Guard,providing both power and athleticism.

2nd Round(Pick #43) - Khaled Holmes[OC]: Homles has been slightly off this year and he may slip even further than the 2nd round,but as of right now the I'll keep him as a 2nd rounder.

3rd Round(Pick #76) - Margus Hunt[DE]: We get younger in the trenches,Hunt,Lissemore,Crawford,and Brent would provide a stellar young defensive line.

3rd Round(Pick #87) - Aaron Murray[QB]: Preparing for the future,we can develop Murray behind Romo for a year.

4th Round(Pick #140) - Tavon Austin[WR]: Austin is a short receiver but an explosive one,he could provide a similar spark from that which is Cole Beasley.

Very nice detail. I like the extensions and the trade. This team has a history under Jerry to wheel and deal.

My first question is, isn't Church a RFA?

I like the trade down to pick up an extra third, but I would turn around and package that with our second and a 2014 pick to move back into the first.

1. Chance Warmack G Alabama
1. Barrett Jones C Alabama
3. Ricky Wagner OT Wisconsin
4. Mike Glennon QB NC State
5. Ray Graham RB Pittsburgh
6. Rod Sweeting CB Georgia Tech

I would tag Spencer again, try to re-sign Jenkins, and let Felix and Ogletree walk.
