Cooper Mock Draft 1.0 2015

Cooper22 · 2015-02-27T09:46:16-08:00

Free AgencyThis is going to be a big year in free agency for us, as we'll most likely be losing several big name veterans.Resign Perrish Cox Kyle Nelson Josh Johnson Chris Cook Cut Ahmad Brooks Marcus Cromartie Craig Dahl Restructure Patrick Willis Stevie Johnson Sign Christian Ponder, QB- Blaine Gabbert esque signing on the cheap hopefully Jacquizz Rodgers, RB- I've always liked Rodgers since he came out of the draft. Now we have the chance to sign him to fight for some carries Lance Kendricks, TE- Many people choosing Vigil Green as the tight end of choice but by all accounts, he's not leaving Denver. I'll take the former 1st rounder. Sergio Brown, S- Great special teamer and can play multiple roles in the defensive backfield. Draft1. Eddie Goldman, DT, FSU, 6-4 336I think he can be a versatile player on the defensive line. He has long arms, big hands, and is extremely powerful. He was the best player on Florida State's defense and I think he will be the BPA at 15.2. Ronald Darby, CB, FSU, 5-11 193Another Florida State player, Darby is extremely athletic and fluid. He has the potential to be a playmaking cornerback.-TRADE UP (3rd round pick and 5th round pick for a later 2nd round pick)2b. Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami, 5-10, 185Speed Speed Speed. Dorsett has proven he can take a top off a defense. Not only does he have exceptional straight line speed, but he is also very quick. I think he has great upside in the league and as an added bonus he is the prototypical player to burn #25 up in Seattle. 4. Robert Myers, OG, Tennessee State, 6-5, 326 Very underrated prospect in my opinion. Long arms and powerful, has the ability to pull very well. Surprisingly technically sound for a "raw" prospect from a small school. I think he can come in and compete from the get-go. 4b. Karlos Williams, RB, FSU, 6-1 230 I know I know another Seminole but he can be a steal. A former safety convert, Williams is extremely athletic but is a bit raw as a runner. Under Rathman, I think Karlos can reach his potential. In the meantime he can be a great and willing special teamer who fights for some carries. 6. Chris Bonner, QB, Colorado State, 6-7,225 Kind of a sleeper from a small school. Training camp quarterback with a lot to prove. 7. Jordan Taylor, WR, Rice, 6-5, 210 Tall, lanky receiver who can stand to add some muscle. Has a lot of potential as a former quarterback with a lot of speed and yac ability. Could be a nice practice squad candidate. 7b. Ellis McCarthy, NT, UCLA, 6-5, 338 Former 5 star recruit who disappointed. Huge guy with 34 inch arms. We have a great record developing late round defensive line players so McCarthy could be another great candidate.

Nice except we cut j Martin as well.
Possibly gabbert

I don't think we go after a te bc vd macdonald and carrier are more than fine this year. Spending money on a te that doesn't see many snaps would be a complete waste of money.

I like you're first 4 picks but you know no team would take 3 players from the same school in the same draft year so maybe mock out the cb or the RB and it might be more plausible

I think if tre waynes, jaelen strong, or D. Parker are there at 15 we're nabbing one of those guys. My gut tells me we are going with waynes...he'll be the BPA..unless BIg thunder DT dan Shelton is there..

Gabbert is a FA

Thanks for an interesting and very realistic mock! There are several guys I had to Google but that was fun because they seem like good prospects. My preference would be for a WR in the first, if Strong or Parker are there, but they may be able to trade back and still get Goldman, which would give them better picks later on perhaps.

Really like the McCarthy pick as well because Tomsula might be able to get the best out of an underperformer (weight issues). There are better OGs than Meyers though...my one dislike, otherwise it's all good!
