Mock Draft v5.0
So there were some interesting changes to some of my college prospect rankings this week after a barage of great games. Also, I added a second round to the mock, just to try and keep things from being too redundant. I’ll cut right to it:

ROUND TWO
33. Bucs – Greg Hardy, DE, Ole Miss
34. Rams – Taylor Mays, S, USC
35. Browns – Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
36. Lions – Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri
37. Redskins – Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech
38. Chiefs – Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU
39. Raiders – Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida
40. Bills – Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida
41. Patriots – Mike Iupati, G, Idaho
42. Seahawks – Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky
43. Niners – Everson Griffen, DE, USC
44. Texans – Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU
45. Bucs – Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame
46. Panthers – Jevon Snead, QB, Ole Miss
47. Steelers – Jason Fox, OT, Miami
48. Jets – Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
49. Dolphins – Vince Oghobaase, DT, Duke
50. Ravens – Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State
51. Chiefs – Jeremy Beal, DE, Oklahoma
52. Giants – Nate Allen, FS, South Florida
53. Patriots – Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
54. Patriots – Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois
55. Eagles – Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
56. Packers – Mitch Petrus, G, Arkansas
57. Broncos – Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas
58. Cowboys – Greg Romeus, DE, Pittsburgh
59. Cardinals – Selvish Capers, OT, West Virginia
60. Chargers – Jared Odrick, DE, Penn State
61. Bengals – Brian Price, DT, UCLA
62. Saints – Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
63. Colts – Ricky Sapp, DE/OLB, Clemson
64. Vikings – Reshad Jones, FS/SS, Georgia
So I decided to only give analysis on the Vikings’ picks this time around.
Tony Pike is having a dream season and his stock will never be higher, meaning he’s almost a sure thing to declare for the draft. While his arm strength will keep him from getting drafted too early, his intelligence and accuracy gives him enough potential to be worth a late first rounder.
Reshad Jones has a big frame for a safety and, unlike the Vikings current safeties, knows how to tackle. He also has decent speed and coverage skills. Jones would be value pick at this point in the draft as well.

Adam I love the fact that you still have the Vikes winning the SB. But to be more accurate you should slide the Vikes down a few spots. I know you cant do that, but just speculate a little more and it will be a little more accurate.

Can’t do it Johnny… not yet.
Don’t worry, there are lots of weeks between the end of the season and the draft in which I will know exactly where the Vikes are drafting.

Great job still having Tebows in the first. Will drives Freds crazy.

Adam, if we do slip a few spots, do we still take Pike? I would.
December 8th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
Tough to say… one of those big nose tackles a few spots ahead of us sure would be tempting.

Aint speculation great? I love it

Pike seems like a great pick to me. Watched him twice this year and I liked what I saw.
Sadly, MY endorsement likely means he would suck for the Vikes.

Your description of Pike makes him sound like Brad Johnson/Kyle Orton. I guess that would be okay for awhile.

Cowboys picks need work. They are a 3-4 defense and you have them drafting a 4-3 OLB and a 4-3 DE. Carter may be able to move inside to ILB but I’m not sure Romeus could stand up and play OLB in the 3-4.

Bucs fan here; I could live w/ these 3 picks!!
