Daniel Jeremiah's mock draft has no D Hopkins and no D Moore in the first round. I would cream myself if they were our first two picks.
2013 NFL Mock Drafts : NFL Mock Draft: Ziggy Ansah hits top 5
Hold the phone.. I've been the biggest Cooper fan here, but Cooper ahead of Warmack? Are they getting a little too cute with the mocks?
Warmack CANNOT be a Ram. That must not happen. Trade up with the Saints to get him at 15 if he's there.
And no Justin Hunter? Wow.
Sheldon Richardson at 18? Well, you're welcome Dallas.
On another note... JOHNATHAN HANKINS ISN'T EVEN IN THE FIRST ROUND IN THIS MOCK!!!! Keep sleeping on the guy mock drafters. I hope NFL GMs do too.
A number of teams reportedly like Cooper over Warmack because of A) Warmack's mental make-up and/or B) Cooper is a better system fit for them.
New topic:
What's your opinion on Trevardo Williams VS Jamie Collins? It seems to me most people think Collins will go higher, and I would tend to think they're right. He's 2 inches taller & has longer arms; Trevardo has a better 40, but Collins had a better 10 yard split. That makes sense because Collins' jump numbers were off the charts (Trevardo's were great too, but Collins moreso). And this is despite the fact that Collins is 9 pounds heavier than Trevardo.
Collins seems to kind of throw himself at linemen and bounce off of them sometimes. Williams is 6 months younger. Both played against pretty weak competition...
I've noticed over the years that one statistic that usually translates well to the NFL is sack numbers. Williams has 24 sacks in his last 2 years in college, which is excellent; compare that to Barkevious Mingo who 12. B]Collins[/B] had 16.5. (granted, Mingo didn't stay for his senior year & is a year younger, but his best sack total was 7.5 in a season).
Then there's strength. With slightly shorter arms, Williams put up 30 rep's to Collins' 19. That's a pretty huge difference.
Collins has the kind of burst like he's shot out of a cannon, but I have to say that Trevardo is probably the better prospect. He just seems to play with more strngth & consistency. I love the 24 sacks in 2 years as well. That's amazing. And Williams is rated lower by most people, so he'd probably be a better value.
I'm seeing people say Collins could go as high as the late 30's to 40's, but 50's to 60's is reasonable. Williams looks like he might be there in the late 3rd.
So in conclusion: Williams > Collins, and Williams will go lower.
What say you?
