Interesting Mock Drafts on NFL.com | Page 2

Bucky Brooks from the NFL Network released an updated mock draft yesterday, and I found picks 20-32 to be pretty interesting. Nothing that I've seen from other sites, which proves that this year's draft is going to be all over the place. The placement of the players in the last 12 picks in this mock shows me, that if we really wanted a player that was in striking distance, we have enough picks to make a move up. See the picks below: 20: Chicago - Zach Ertz, TE 21: Cincinnati - Alec Ogletree, LB 22. St. Louis - Keenan Allen, WR 23: Minnesota - Sheldon Richardson, DT/DE 24: Indianapolis - Jonathan Banks, CB 25: Seattle - Ezekiel Ansah, DE/OLB 26: Green Bay - Manti Te'o, LB 27: Houston - Robert Woods, WR 28: Denver - Kevin Minter, LB 29: New England - Tavon Austin, WR 30: Atlanta - Tyler Eifert, TE 31: San Francisco - Johnathan Hankins, DT/NT 32: Baltimore - Eric Reid, S Honestly, I'd be happy with Hankins, who IMO, can play DT and NT on our line. But if we really wanted someone, Sheldon Richardson and Jonathan Banks, two top prospects in their positions, would play very well in our defense as well. And we'd have the pieces to move up. I'd like to say the same about Keenan Allen, but we'd have to move ahead of STL to get him.

Screw that. If Hankins is on the board, and I heavily doubt he will be, you take him, no questions asked, period.

Hankins can be a pro bowl anchor for several years like Michael Carter was in the 80's. If he is on the board at your pick, you take him.

+1 - in my earlier posts, I said it. He'll be a ROCK for along time. If he's there, take Hankins. Period.

Can't see Robert Woods going so high. He could go as low as 3 or 4. If Richardson is anywhere near that range wouldn'surprise anyone if the 49ers make a play.

I agree and I love Zach Ertz. But it would be siilly to to pass on Hankins if he is there.

Agreed. If the draft were to fall the way it did above from picks 20-32, Richardson, Hankins, or Banks are worth selecting or trading up for. Maybe even Keenan Allen if he has an unbelievable pro day.

There are good tight ends to be had in the second day, and Dion Sims seems to be one that I'll keep my eye on.

I wouldn't mind Toilolo on day 3 if available. (Edited cause I can't spell Toilolo)

So we finally get that Stanford TE.
