Imitating Baalke Mock 1.0

Just a big guy lol, super raw is more of a athlete than a football player will need a good TEACHER

No way he should be the pick at 15 with some of the other players still available.

Baalke could take a CB early...but I think he'd be more prone to take a stud DL. Eddie Goldman or Malcolm Brown, for example.

I think some of you are overrating Xavier Cooper...just read that Coach Mike Leach had Gil Brandt evaluate him and his recommendation was Cooper should've stayed for his senior season. Projected draft is rd 6-7, possibly even UDFA.

Love the Devin Smith pick...he's got the speed, but also toughness that impressed me vs 'Bama and Oregon.

NFL.com draft profile said pro scouts think Poutasi may be shifted to OG in the pros because he has trouble w/speed rushers, which he'd face every week in the NFL.

Sexton's purely a receiver...given Carrier and Millard are already H-back types, I'd doubt Baalke would draft a similar player, especially one who's a weak blocker. Guys like Heuerman or Koyack seem more likely to be Baalke's forte.

Armstead is second rounder at best imo. Classic looks like Tarzan plays like Jane.
