Round 1 (27): Chris Jones, DE, Mississippi State
Round 2 (57): Jaylon Smith, ILB, Notre Dame
Round 3 (88): Joe Schobert, OLB, Wisconsin
Round 4 (125): Willie Beavers, OT, Western Michigan
Round 4 (131): James Bradberry, CB, Samford
Round 4 (137): Malcolm Mitchell, WR, Georgia
Round 5 (163): Dan Vitale, TE, Northwestern
Round 6 (200): Luke Rhodes, ILB, William & Mary
Round 7 (248): Robby Anderson, WR, Temple

I though Jaylon was having significant complications with his injury and is out AT LEAST a year. Even with his upside, seems like a waste of a 2nd rounder.

I hope we have a better draft than this mock projects, but if it did fall this way it would provide plenty of fodder for discussion.

This is going to be fun to watch. I can see the interest for Paxton Lynch being very strong right around our pick with a team jumping ahead of Denver because I think they take him if he's there and I think teams know that's a good chance.

IMO it would be awesome to drop back into the early 2nd with extra picks that would allow Ted Thompson to target players he could move up for without really giving up much. Give Ted a low 2nd and high 2nd, low and high thirds, and 3 fourth round picks and let Ted go to work.

It would kind of suck to wait up till 10:30 or 11:00 and find out there will be no pick until Friday but boy Friday would be a fun day.

I like Jones a lot ...in the third. Notion that he goes before Butler, and before AShawn Robinson? Hah. Smith ...giving up a 2nd for a guy that won't play for a year....no. Schobert is 5th rounder. So is Beavers. Bradberry is a 6th. Rest are 7th rounders.

Every single GM would trade you their last second this year for the tenth overall pick next year. I don't know why you wouldn't want to get this guy. Unless your docters have a very strong lead that he'll never return to form.
