Mods Mock 2013

I like it...I'd agree on Rhodes vs Banks, although either guy would be welcome in the secondary. With Goldson likely out of the picture, our secondary is small...Rhodes would provide some much-needed size. I can also see where Baalke would re-sign Walker...especially with Goldson not in the mix. I'd think some teams will offer RJF more than TB's likely to...would like to keep him, but we'll see how things shake out. Mixed feeling WRT Knighton...he's largely underachieved so far. Think I'd rather have someone like Alan Branch, Mike DeVito, Roy Miller, or my "fave" Sammy Lee Hill. That said, I think you're definitely on the right track.

I agree we need some, and Banks somewhat has some 6'2 185 pounds, love his ball skills too. Rhodes is also a CB I'd love to have, only I didn't really think about him at the 31st pick, I think he'll go higher than some think but that's just me.

RJF I don't think he'll command much of a contract, hes a solid player but nothing that screams 30-20 million dollars IMO. I think a good contract for him would be something like 3-4 years $18 million with a signing bonus of maybe 8-9 million which is fair IMO. Signing a player more for potential than production can be pretty costly, especially if he wasn't a full-time starter.

Terrance Knighton I feel if healthy (which has been a problem the last two years) can be a solid NT, hes a underrated run-stopper a real cog in the middle and has some pass-rush moves too. Still pretty young at 27, which should be able to get him at a reasonable price. Check him out here:

So far got two guesses right....Delanie gone, Dashon most likely gone to Tampa. RJF most likely gone, got that one wrong.

50/50 on Sopoaga as he is visiting with Philly.

I love it except taking a OT in the 3rd. how bout spending that 3rd on the best pass rusher and then a OT in the 4th because chase Thomas could fall a lot more than the 4th

Kyle Long will not be available in the 3rd, if he is, he is BPA with a high ceiling. A back up swing OT is high on the list of needs. Would be a great pick if it where to happen.
