tofficial 2012 NFL Mock Draft thread

He is going to need some coaching but has a lot of speed....

exactly. this is a very atypical Steeler pick with their needs, but they adhere to BPA principle and take a top40 talent sitting at 50. He can play situationally now (and S/T), take over for Harrison next year, and like Timmons, actually play every position at LB if injury needs this year. Steelers LB corps locked in stone for 5 years+ . Gonna need to hit on picks in rounds 3 and 4, but they have drafted BPA for a decade and it's worked.... He also just looks like an old school Steeler loving to hit people and playing with a mean streak


In real life, I will be shocked if this guy is still on the board by about 42

It's an exercise in futility since he shouldn't have been there to even tempt me ....

LoC, I also think you could have gotten him at your original spot..,but trades are always exciting.

Massie is a good quick tackle but will need some wight room time. he has good feet and a good frame though.

I think that Worilds is going to fill in and Harrison may be a cap casualty next season....

Worilds has disappointed so far. He is an adequate backup-- for certain. But he doesn't seem to have what it takes to make the IMPACT plays that we need at ROLB
I see Lewis doing so with (as you say) some coaching . And like I said, he is also a special teams lightning rod. With him and Sylvester terrorizing returners, opponents will put even less pressure on the D.

starting front 7 going forward next 5 years (from 2013) (per this draft)


Heyward ___ TBD ___ Hood
Woodley Hightower Timmons Lewis


holy shit even with an 'acceptable' space-eating 2gapper NT, that is frightening

Possibly. He did fall at least 8 spots paste where I think he goes IRL

That ssaid, I could see him playing SAM in a 4-3 as well and thought he was fair game to pretty much everyone left ahead of me


I don't think Massie sucks, I just think he's a top half of the third round tackle this year. Philly could have had him if they managed a trade down. And he certainly is not (or close to) BPA at 51 on this board IMHO

With the 52nd pick of the 2012 Sportshoopla Mock Draft, the Tennessee Titans select...George Iloka, S, Boise State

 

[LeaderOCola]

another guy taken at least 15-20 slots early

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

good pick thar sir

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

another guy taken at least 15-20 slots early

not really

Iloka is a great player, plus the Titans really can't afford to start Babineaux there again.

he's quite underrated

plus he could even play some corner if needed.

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

Leader stop being such a Wheelchair General.

 

[vancelot23]

With the 53rd pick the Cincinnati Bengals select Lamar Miller, RB

 

[UTVolCountry]

So my first pick was a "bust", and now my second pick was taken about "15-20 slots early". Glad I'm not the GM, LOL

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

Anyone want to trade their second rounder and a fourth rounder for two thirds?

 

[TheRobotDevil]

with the 54th pick Detroit selects Zebrie Sanders, OT, Florida State

 

[bone3421]
