Player that really shined at the senior bowl and who I feel could come in and make an impact right away and be in the rotation on our defensive line. High motor player that would be a lot for the #31 pick. Really like this kid and would be excited to have him on our team
Round 2, Trade Alex Smith and a fifth round pick for Kansas City's second round pick. SELECT Jordan Poyer, CB, OREGON STATE
Every time I watch film on this kid I am just more and more impressed. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and plays until whistle which is why I like him. Breaks on the ball well and tackles even better. Can also return punts and kicks which also gives us another option there.
Round 2, Our pick, D.J. Swearinger, S, South Carolina
It is time to start building for the future and add some depth at the safety position, Whitner's contract is up next year and i doubt he is back. This is a kid who I would take on my team any day of the week, takes proper pursuit angles to the ball and arrives with an attitude when he gets there, hell of a player who I think could start by year two
Round 3a Brandon Jenkins, OLB/DE, Florida State
One was one of the best pass rushers in the nation before he tore his ACL. I think teams will be skeptical to draft him in rounds one or two because of his knee I would could potentially have a HUGE steal if he fully recovers, we need to add some depth to our defensive line and our pass rushing and this kid knows how to get after the quarterback.
Round 3b Da Rick Rogers, WR, Tennessee Tech
Has some character issues but extremely high ceiling on this kid. Big bodied reciever at 6'3 215 lbs who can go up and get the ball. Can run the vertical routes as well as go across the middle, can make something happen after the catch as well. Would improve our red zone offense a bunch.
Round 4 Brian Schwenke, C, California
Goodwin is aging and we need a long term solution at the center position and we snag a solid backup and future starter at the beginning of the fourth.
Round 4, Trade a fifth and a 2014 fourth to move into the fourth, select Montori Hughes, DT/NT, Tennessee Martin
I would like to see our defense return to the way it was in 2011, this kid would definately help that. Has some character issues but that doesn't concern me with the locker room we have. Could be a big time steal.
Round 5, Dustin Hopkins, Kicker, Flordia State
Replaces Akers and gives us a reliable option to make some field goals.
Round 6, Marcus Davis, WR, Virginia Tech
Big bodied reciever at 6'4 232 lbs would be a good red zone target if he could make the team. Think this is who our scouts who watching at all those virginia tech games they attended this year.
Round 6, Zeke Motta, S, Notre Dame
Could be a solid special teams player and give us some depth at the safety position.
Round 7 We have four picks, add some offensive line depth and take one flyer on character issue guy.
Thanks for reading, comments and criticism welcome.

Great Job. Might be the best mock I've seen so far on here. You addressed all our needs and I like all of the picks. I'm not very familiar with Jordan Poyer. Does he seem to be one of the better corners available?
