Nugpimpen's first 2013 Mock

[nugpimpen]

Alright

I have seen too many Mocks on here for me not to participate so here goes.


We finish the season at 5-11 and pick 8th

Shurmur is fired

From what I have heard from Haslem, he is impressed with our recent drafts. It sounds like him and Banner were fine in Philly, so i'm calling Heckert stays!

We also fire clown Childress

We keep Jauron

We try for Chip Kelly but are turned down

We get David Shaw from Stanford.

OC? Honestly no idea, give me some!


Sign a big name at CB or FS. I haven't seen the FA lists so I don't know who is re-signed or not. Sorry, too early for FA details. Hoping for Byrd, but who knows.

Sign servicable guys at either CB or FS (whichever isn't filled with a big name)

Sign a mid level TE and WR


1. Manti Teo, LB, ND - I know this is early for a LB. This guy looks to be a special player. We miss out on Moore and maybe even Jordan and feel like Teo helps out most. I don't care if we keep him in the middle and move DJ over or vice versa. They will both be great on the field together. Not my favorite pick, but a solid one for our defense.


3. Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford - I think we will be a great TE in the pros and could help Weeden out big time


4. Micah Hyde, CB, Iowa - Should help our secondary out here

5. Zac Dysert, QB, Miami (OH) - Calm down. Just in case

6. Jackson Jeffcoat, DE, Texas - Get another young pass rusher.

7. Kenjon Barner, RB, Oregon - May not last this long but who knows.


I role with Rucker as our starter for another year at DE. He's not that bad and has been playing hard.

Maybe we will suck hard enough for Clowney next year lol

I agree with the free agency. Just to throw out some names for you Keenan Lewis would be my #1 target this offseason. He's not a stud but will make a very good duece across from Haden. Glover Quin and Louis Delmas are other options that look good besides Jairus Byrd.

I love getting a player of Jeffcoat's caliber in the 6th round but I highly doubt it happens. He tore a pectoral which as we know is nothing serious(DQ and Big Philly). He would be a 3rd rounder at worst if he comes out IMO. The depth of the DE class is very weak and won't allow Jeffcoat to fall very far.

I like Zach Ertz. He has some work to do as a blocker and route runner but for a 3rd rounder its a chance I would take for sure.

I don't like Manti Te'o that high but this draft is horribly weak and he may very well be the best option at 8.

The others players I have no opinion on one way or the other.

Solid.

I agree that the Browns should sign a free agent free safety. There's none worth taking where the Browns will be picking in round one and they don't have a second round pick. You should name specific players instead of just saying which positions they should address. Isn't that the point of a mock?

I'd be cool with David Shaw. There might be a few coaches who I'd prefer over him, but I think he could be a good head coach in the NFL and he's a realistic option. Let's hope he turns out as good as the last Stanford head coach who moved on to the NFL.

Teo is one of the players I want most, so it's a good pick depending on who else is available.

Not a big fan of drafting a tight end. Jordan Cameron looks like he might become a good starter and they have a couple of solid backups. Plus, you have the Browns signing a tight end in free agency. The Browns don't have the luxury of spending high draft picks on positions that aren't big needs unless that player has elite potential. This is especially the case when they already are without a second round pick.

Kiltman on the great sig!

I like it a lot but DE addressed late.....

But hey you can't hit them all in one offseason.

8 for Te'o is a good spot though.....Werner might be there as well.

I like Te'o in the 1st BUT....how does a Heckart as a GM and a LB 1dst work?

I like the mention of Davis, but the same people who didn't like Shumur's resume will like his even less.

I would love to keep Jauron, but that will probably be the head coach's call.

It will be difficult to find a better OC than Childress, his experience in incredibly valuable.

Replacing the HC, OC, and DC in a single year will have a negative impact on the team by default, if we add any drastic philosophical changes...it can be disastrous.

I like the position targets in free agency. I would add a vet OL (to replace Cousins).

I really like your draft and would be very excited if we drafted those players. There is absolutely nothing wrong with drafting a QB in the 5th round, btw

Rucker's role is a run stopper and he comes out in just about every sub package. I would very much like to get another DE in free agency, maybe even as a stop-gap until the 2014 draft.
