This one has a distinct defensive theme, with the offensive skill positions largely dropping in favor of the defensive line and pass rushers. I have an alternate version where the offensive linemen are generally higher and some of the pass rushers drop, which is more similar to the last version. Somewhere in between the two is likely to be reality, and we?ll know a lot more about that after the Combine.
A few notes:
--I think CJ Spiller?s speed will get him in the top 5. Nobody wants to miss the next Chris Johnson, potentially.
--I can see Sam Bradford dropping way down if the Seahawks don?t take him at either 6 or 14. The personnel people I talked with in Mobile are extremely concerned about the structural stability of his shoulder
--Keeping with that injury risk theme, I factored health flags in this version more harshly than normal. Many players that you expect to see higher up, or missing altogether, are slotted lower for injury reasons.
--As always, please do not mistake this for what I would do with the picks. This is my best guesstimate as to what the given teams would do in the given situations. It may or may not be the same decision I would make. I do a 7-round ?What I would do? mock on the message board here at RealGM the week after the Combine, if you must see into my head...
