Draft Mock

1. OT Ereck Flowers - Miami (6'6" 329)

Large, athletic offensive tackle. Can kick and slide quite well, especially for his size. Good punch, but needs to develop there. Good movement blocker; can step and seal and can set up second level blocks. Picks up blitzes well. Would be best at right tackle, sometimes showing bad technique against speed. Needs to learn to play with better balance and with better hand placement against NFL rushers. Will not get physically overmatched, but must focus on the finer points of playing tackle in the NFL.

2. WR Devin Smith - Ohio State (6'0" 199)

Extremely fast, very quick, receiver with solid hands. Very solid route runner at all levels. Can set up defensive backs on multiple routes. Good at finding soft spots in zones. Threat to take it to the house every play. Best deep receiver in the draft. Uncanny ability to track and adjust to poorly thrown balls on deep routes. Incredibly high ceiling. Must watch the routes he ran and didn't get the ball to truly appreciate his talent. Needs work as a run blocker, but not unwilling. Very good special teams gunner. Similar to Mike Wallace.

3. DE Henry Anderson - Stanford (6'6" 297)

Stout defender at the point of attack with the frame to hold. Shows good initial burst and punch, as well as adequate bend to put pressure on the quarterback. Needs to improve his explosiveness. Shows the traits to develop into an elite 3-4 DE at the next level if he's put in a situation where he can develop lower body strength. Similar physical tools to JJ Watt (when he came out of Wisconsin).

3. TE Jeff Heuerman - Ohio State (6'5" 254)

Best blocking tight end in class. Physical and can take defensive lineman out of plays. Plus speed with ability to pressure the seam and be an effective intermediate target. Great hands, with ability to high point and make tough catches over the top. Needs to work on route running and be crisper. Scheme dictated far less chances to be a receiver as a senior.

4. OG Mark Glowinski - West Virginia (6'4" 307)

A very underrated prospect, Glowinski is a tough and scrappy interior lineman. While he needs some work on technique, the physical tools are there for him to become a starter. Aggressive blocker that will go after defenders. Has shown a nasty demeanor and will knock his guy on his can when given the chance. Effectively steps and seals. Adequate drive off the ball in the run game. Has a good punch and doesn't get bullrushed. High level athleticism as a former left tackle at the JUCO level. Potential to play tackle in the pros. If he works out well, there is potential for him to shoot up boards.

5. FS Adrian Amos - Penn State (6'0" 209)

Very active safety that can cover quite a bit of ground quickly. Can play the ball well and create some turnovers. Sticky in man coverage and plays zone well. Not a lights-out tackler, but effective. All-around solid game that won't cost you big plays. Looks to be a prototypical single-high type that you can rely on. Not an in-the-box safety that can routinely shed moving lineman and make plays downhill. Very similar to Husain Abdullah.

5. CB Craig Mager - Texas State (5'11" 201)

Tough corner with outstanding mirror ability. Physical in press. Quick and shifty with plus closing ability to the man and ball. Doesn't give up big plays and limits yards after the catch with great tackling ability. Ability to contest jump balls. Needs some coaching on route recognition at the next level. Adequate deep speed to stick with most any outside target.

5. ILB Zach Vigil - Utah State (6'2" 236)

Active linebacker that is decisive and reads the play well. Doesn't make false movements and is always zeroed in on the football. Has also shown the ability to play sideline-to-sideline. Outstanding cover skills for a collegiate linebacker. Instincts and foodball acumen are above average. Very effective interior blitzer. Improved as a senior attacking downhill versus the run. Reliable tackler. Needs to improve core strength and technique to effectively take on NFL interior blockers, especially stack and shed to make plays in the backfield at the next level.

6. OC Greg Mancz - Toledo (6'4" 301)

A fundamentally sound offensive linemen with experience at several spots along the front. Extremely well coached in technique. Sets up extremely well in all facets. Takes good angles. Too much ground given up in his pass pro drop. Needs to develop better functional lower body strength.

7. CB Bobby McCain - Memphis (5'9" 195)

Terrific slot cornerback in that he flips his hips extremely well and can keep pace with shifty receivers. Incredibly quick and plus change of direction skills. Great in off-man coverage, which fits well in multiple defensive back schemes that the Chiefs employ often. Able and willing in run support. Plays the ball well and can making something happen when he gets his hands on it. Does not have the size and current ability to play press, but has the strength and skill set to learn it.

7. WR Deon Long - Maryland (6'0" 192)

A receiver with great speed and quickness. Outstanding hands with incredibly large catch radius for his size. Can make acrobatic catches and catches in traffic. Has game breaking ability with the ball in his hands. Needs coaching and development on route tree, not polished. Has an interesting transfer history that needs to be thoroughly investigated. Broken leg in senior season doesn't help him overall. Has the skill set to be a better pro than collegiate player.

amazing update. devin smith is a pretty similar player to desean jackson, he and maclin would be great together. Rob sims would be a great budget pickup. Flowers would be a great pick in the first. i'd perfer peat or clemmings but flowers should start instantly. Thats a very solid o line. i like heuerman, love vigil and anderson. no nothing about any of the dbs ill have to check them out. but s and cb would be the next positions we would need to address.
