first mock ever and I did trades and free agents (be kind)

[echlgladiator]

This is the first mock I’ve ever posted on this site so be kind. I’m always looking for constructive criticism. In trying to be realistic I made quite a few trades, but without an elite QB to trade up for, the value isn’t there (in my opinion).

Pre draft trades
1. Kansas City trades 3rd round to San Fransisco for Alex Smith
2. Detroit trades 1st round and conditional 2014 pick to the New York Jets for Darrelle Revis

Some Free Agent signings
1. Greg Jennings (WR) signs with Cin 2. Mike Wallace (WR) signs with Jac
3. Reggie Bush (RB) signs with Atl 4. Wes Welker (WR) signs in Cle
5. Dustin Keller (TE) signs with the St.L 6. Jake Long (OT) signs with Pit
7. Cliff Avril (DE) signs with Buf 8. Richard Seymour (DL)signs with N.O.
9. Anthony Spencer (OLB) signs with Ari 10. Carey Williams (CB) signs with Car
11. Aqib Talib (CB) signs with KC 12. Kenny Phillips (S) signs with Ten

6. San Diego - Eric Fisher OT - San Diego trades up to get the O-lineman they want before Arizona can pick him.

8. Philadelphia - Dee Milliner CB - Philly trades back and still gets the best CB in the draft
*** Trade New York Jets trade round 1 to Dallas for Round 1-3-5
9. Dallas - Chance Womack OG - Dallas needs help on the interior and Womack reminds them of Newton, Allen & Gurode

14. Carolina - Star Lotulelei DT - If his heart is OK Carolina just got it’s best D-Line since Kris Jenkins
15 New Orleans - Barkivious Mingo PR - New Orleans runs to the podium with this pick. Mingo will do for them what Ricky Jackson and Pat Swillings used to do in the 90’s
16 - Kansas City - Kenny Vaccaro S - Adding Talib and Vaccaro takes there secondary from a weakness at a strength
*** Trade Pittsburg trades round 1 to Atlanta for round 1,3&5
17. Atlanta - Ezekiel Ansah DE - Atlanta make this trade because they need to get pass rushing help for Abraham and they resign Gonzalez for 1 more year
18. New York Jets - Jonathan Cooper OG - Possibly losing both starting OG to Free Agency and Ryan’s need to Ground and Pound make this an obvious choice
19. New York Giants - Alec Ogletree LB - Ogletree can play any linebacker position and cover the run sideline to sideline while rushing the passer

***Trade Seattle round 1 to Arizona for rounds 2 & 1st in 2014
25. Arizona - Mike Glennon QB - Arizona trade up to take its QB of the future. I wanted to put Barkley here but ARZ has already been burned by a USC QB

30. Pittsburg - Eddie Lacy RB - Turned in a monster performance in the NCAA championship game, which seems to fit the Steelers mold
31. San Francisco - DeAndre Hopkins WR - The Randy Moss experience was unfulfilling and the 49ers go in a different direction
32. Baltimore - Kevin Minter ILB - Ray Lews’s replacement and the next linebacker star in Baltimore.

Great Bears pick

Not sure why the Jets would trade up for a guy with spinal stenosis. I think Jones might make it out of the first round.

Edit: Didn't realize this was a trade for Revis. I don't want to trade Revis, but that is very good value. I would rather use the pick on a different player.

While it is interesting with the trade for Revis, it just can't happen. We'd have 70%+ of our cap tied up in 4 players, and we just can't afford that. Also, Revis isn't really worth a top 5 pick, especially in our scheme where we don't need a lockdown CB.

No way Dallas trades up. If anything we trade back. Cowboys need alot of help and a guard is not worth giving up 2 other players. Boys are in cap hell so the draft is only place we can restock talent this yr and trading all our picks away would hurt more than help. Not to mention Jonathan Cooper is just as good as Warmack and has a decent chance of making it to us at 18. If not there is good depth at guard in the 2nd-3rd rounds as well.

Big thanks to kacymcbryant18 for the sig....^^

ATL trading up...yeah, why not, looks like Answah is worth it after the performance he put on at the combine. TE are a dime a dozen in free agency, we can get a serviceable one there.

[ninjapirate]

I can deal with that.

I greatly dislike adding a DT, who will only play roughly 1/3 of the snaps. The vikings rotate there defensive line often, so it just doesnt seem like a good value pick.

Give MN Arthur Brown, a 3 down MLB.

So the team with the 3rd most in cap space gets no top FAs??

Love the Miami pick though

A big NO to Reggie Bush. Do not want him on the Falcons.

Ansah would be awesome, and the trade up isn't that bad, especially since in your scenario, we're not spending picks on RB and TE.

[LuckyNumber11]

No to the first Cards pick. Give them Warmack. Rest looks pretty good

Did you see Teo in the drills today at the combine? Slow 40 time, not fluid in Drills. No thank you.[/quote]

Sorry I posted it before I saw how horrible Teo was. In this case I'd probably go for Minter here
