Board mock draft

[augustisback003]

My vote is for CB Jamar Taylor.


I think this pick could be a wild card that no one sees coming, much like Seattle selecting OLB Bruce Irvin last season. I think the Colts could panic in their effort to replace Dwight Freeney and reach for an Alex Okafor or Corey Lemonier. But I think cooler heads prevail and they opt for CB Taylor who's stock is on fire lately and he's the best player available at a position of need.

CB should be pick. Xavier Rhodes is the best available, and will probably be long gone here by the real draft. He's a top 15 talent, and is a steal at this spot.

How did Jamar Taylor win? There were 2 votes for Xavier Rhodes and only 1 for Taylor. Rhodes is the pick.

 

[vancelot23]

He's not counting my vote CB I didn't really vote. It's a tie and ESPN says Taylor is better.

 

[vancelot23]

Green Bay is a wild card. Defense let them down last year but they need a RB, and could replace Jennings. I'd go defense and Brown is a ridiculous value. Cyprien too. Sylvester Williams is underrated and Margus Hunt fills a need.

Interesting. I thought Rhodes and Trufant were the 2/3 CBs.

 

[Tubbs1518]

They are. ESPN's rankings are a joke. Rhodes doesn't make it past 13-14.

 

[augustisback003]

Interesting. I thought Rhodes and Trufant were the 2/3 CBs.

Both DJ Hayden and Jamar Taylor stock have caught fire after the Combines and have jumped Rhodes.

 

[augustisback003]

If they're a joke and you have stated over and over again that you're not participating in this draft then why does it matter to you?

 

[uncfan103]

Both DJ Hayden and Jamar Taylor stock have caught fire after the Combines and have jumped Rhodes.

Todd McShay has Rhodes as the 2nd CB off the board though. Most mocks have Rhodes going second think I think
