Nick's 4/2 Top 17 Mock

I like it, Nick. I think Davis is going to slide nicely to us. He was the #2 OT behind Okung going into the combine and to get him at #13 is another steal after getting Crabtree at #10 last year.

i like it as well however i think haden rather than earl thomas would go to the briwns

While Dez is a good looking college receiver, he is doing all the wrong things with his off season. He works out with Pac Man Jones, his agent is Eugene Parker, he's pals with Deion Sanders, he forgot his cleats for his pro day. On top of all that, he defends his less-than stellar decisions.

I'd rather have Graham or Mays at 17, Dez looks like trouble.

forget the trouble i just don't think Bryant is gonna be good

It kind of makes you wonder if they might do this stuff on purpose just to avoid going to a lower rated team. You might lose a little money initially for being the higher draft pick position, but may go on to have a better career with a better team. Scary if true.

While he may refute the claims, if they are indeed found true when doing background checks then they are not small issues. Skipping classes & missing team meetings at Oklahoma are showing a lack of maturity and responsibility. He is looking more and more like the Jamarcus Russell of WR's, all the talent in the world but lacks motivation.

Failing to finish 2 drills (short shuttle and 3 cone) in front of coaches, scouts and GM's is also not a good thing.

There was a time when I though a lot higher of the kid but the more we get through the off season process, the more his stock is being hurt. I could still see him going to Jacksonville (a team devoid of offensive playmakers outside of MJD) or Miami (a team looking for a true #1), however I truly question whether or not the 49ers would take the gamble. Good chance we would deal the pick if he was still there at 17 and someone was willing to jump up.

Working out with Pac Man, who his agent is and being friends with Deion is not what is going to affect him. Nor will the "forgetting his cleats" as that was a case of forgetting the pair of ones that were "broken in" and he was forced to use a brand new pair. I thinks the cleats were more of an excuse made for a guy who knew he wouldn't time under 4.5 and was hoping to convince teams he can be a true vertical threat but teams will see through that.

The issues that are truly in question while he refutes them are what I listed in my previous post.

I'm not high on Bryant either. He looks like a Diva WR at best, and a Raushan "Fisherman" Woods at worst.

I would rather go after a CB or Safety with ball hawking skills at 17. With the
incorporation of more teams running the spread with 4 WRs, you need more coverage guys. We are sorely lacking depth.

replace Bryant with Taylor Mays and i like.

I think Browns draft Haden in this scenario instead of Thomas

On April 2nd, yes, but I think that by the time of the draft most teams will share Mike Mayock's opinion of Earl Thomas; he is simply skyrocketing up draft boards.

Talk about boom or bust picks.

Scary without a doubt.......

Dez Bryant gives me a feeling of a slightly bulkier Rashaun Woods. He's too boom or bust for me and it's a position that's not a priority, IMO, to upgrade.

I would much rather take Spiller at 13 and Davis at 17.

I just have a feeling Singletary meeting with Davis is just a smoke screen.
