    thats a pretty good looking mock. the Robinson pick could be similar to Randel El; QB turned WR

    Give me Oshwino at 71 and Nance at 103, but other then that I do love the mock. Unrealistic though and with the whole McNair thing going on Tennessee is very likely to go QB at 3.

    I would rather have Manny Lawson than Carpenter because Lawson can play DE and also has more upside.

    Pretty damn nice, but instead of Rod Wright I might opt for Maurice Drew or someone similar

    I'm not the biggest Leinart fan, but I'd take him at 4.

    You gotta love the rest of the first day. A 3-4 OLB who can rush the passer, a massive RT, a prototypical 3-4 DE, and one of the draft's top centers.

    I would have done the 2nd day a little differently, but I'd be ecstatic to come out of the draft with these 10 players.

    Hes talking about Rod Wright, but I disagree thats hes the prototypical 34 end. Hes certainly got the size, but hes plays a completely different technique. Itd be like when Sapp was moved from DT to DE, with his play suffering accordingly.

    I agree with that one. But I would still be happy about Carpenter because at least it shows the FO is thinking about filling the right positions.

    I think he means Rodrique Wright

    Carpenter is a better fit as a 3-4 LB. He has experience in coverage and is a more physical presence at nearly 20 pounds heavier. Plus we have Thomas to play DE when we move to the 43

    I did mean Rodrique Wright. Maybe he's not 'prototypical,' but there is no question he has the size and explosion to play the position. What I meant by 'prototypical' is a player like Mario Williams, while a better DLman overall, is not necessarily a better fit for the 3-4 as some of his strengths may be lost (mainly, rushing the passer). Wright is more of a DT than Mario is, and is therefore a 'better' fit as a 3-4 DE. In case anyone has trouble understanding the nuance in what I said, IN NO WAY AM I SAYING WRIGHT IS BETTER THAN MARIO WILLIAMS IN ANY DEFENSIVE SYSTEM.

    I have read that Wright recently slimmed down to 305 or so and was doing 3-4 DE position drills for a few teams. I think he'd be a great addition, and a probable future starter at the position and a great value pick in the 3rd round.

    I disagree. Lawson is a better athlete and has experience playing DE and LB in the 3-4 also. I think the two of them and Wimbley are prototype 3-4 LBs so I guess it is just a matter of personal preference.

    The thing I like about Lawson is he was better than Mario at NCST whereas Carpenter had Hawk to take the pressure off him more.

    I agree, it is a matter of personal preferance. I did not know however that Lawson had experience in a 3-4. Lawson is the better athlete, I agree. If you're looking for a quick LB (undersized, but makes up for it with technique) than Lawsons your guy. Me, I like a bigger, more physical presence in a 3-4. Carpenter's just that, and though you say Lawson may have had some experience as a 50, Carpenter has 4 years-worth, so again, Im inclined to choose him

    Andre Hall IMO could be a steal, the guy isn't being looked at because he lacks the speed but the guy just produces.
