2013 NFL Draft Thread

[dbair1967]

Who are the top projected 43 ends that are speculated to be available?

Ansah, Mingo, Jordan, who else?

Mingo, Montgomery, Werner, Moore, Jordan...all these guys likely RDE's if they play in a 4-3

I think Ansah, Okafor Hunt and Jones could all be LDE's, and at least be sub ins on passing downs

4-3 DT could be of legit interest as well...

 

[Midswat]

Moore, Jones, and Werner won't be there.

Montgomery is a big red flag for me, after the note his trainer put up. Also stigma of LSU lineman. I'll over look that stigma for Mingo on account of his freakish athleticism.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

I think we go DT as well

Who are some DTs

 

[Midswat]

Sheldon Richardson is getting a lot of love, but is a one year wonder.

Sharriff Floyd from UF is a young guy (20) and is active.

Kawaan Short is a good character guy and has measurables, but is kind of inconsistant

I dont know that Richardson is a 1yr wonder. They were glowing about him even back in the season opener vs Georgia. Everyone knew who he was.

 

[Midswat]

There's not a 4-3 end in this draft that should be there at 18 that excites me.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Ansah is exciting, but you're really going to have to wait on him

And you don't know maybe Mingo or Werner fall for whatever reason

Former Texas A&M offensive tackle Luke Joeckel, the 2012 Outland Trophy winner and an Arlington High School graduate, projects to be the first pick in the 2013 NFL Draft based on a mock draft released Tuesday by NFL.com analyst Gil Brandt, the Dallas Cowboys' former vice president of player personnel.

Brandt's mock draft is expected to be tweaked multiple times before the NFL Draft in April, based on players' performances at the scouting combine and in individual workouts. But in the first installment, Brandt projects Joeckel (6-foot-6, 310 pounds) to be taken No. 1 overall by the Kansas City Chiefs, with the Cowboys to use the 18th pick on Eric Fisher (6-8, 305), an offensive tackle from Central Michigan.

Brandt projects five players from colleges in Texas to go in the first round, with former A&M defensive end Damontre Moore -- another junior who opted for early entry -- to be taken with the sixth overall pick by Cleveland. Moore and Joeckel are the only local players projected among the top 10 picks, with the others being Baylor receiver Terrance Williams (No. 14, Carolina), Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro (No. 15, New Orleans) and Texas defensive end Alex Okafor (No. 24, Indianapolis).

Brandt projects four players from Alabama, the two-time defending BCS national champs, to go in the first round: guard Chance Warmack (No. 4, Philadelphia), cornerback Dee Milliner (No. 5, Detroit), offensive tackle D.J. Fluker (No. 13, Tampa Bay) and running back Eddie Lacy (No. 16, St. Louis), with two quarterbacks taken among the top 10 picks: West Virginia's Geno Smith (No. 3, Oakland) and USC's Matt Barkley (No. 7, Arizona). -- Jimmy Burch

Agreed.

 

[dbair1967]

Assuming he means Fluker here:

BryanBroaddus “@Ddarmoni406: @BryanBroaddus Fulker looks like Eric Williams. Whole lot of strength and Nastiness.” Moves better.

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

there are so many ends..somebody will fall...yall fuckin nuts?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Fluker wouldn't be able to play LT.

We have a franchise LT douche

Warmack 10th
Cooper 24th
Ansah 19th
Mingo 12th

Dallas already had a need along their defensive line due to the unfortunate Josh Brent situation but with Dallas now transitioning to a 4-3 front it will be even more important that they bring in a difference-maker on the interior. Sharrif Floyd of Florida excelled at both tackle and end in college due to his impressive blend of athleticism and strength. A terrific all-around player who offers considerable positional and schematic versatility and a nice dong to boot. Floyd would be a fine compliment to Jay Ratliff. The Cowboys may also need another edge rusher opposite DeMarcus Ware, especially if Anthony Spencer leaves as a free agent, so keep an eye on guys like Dion Jordan of Oregon, Sam Montgomery of L.S.U. and Ezekiel Ansah of B.Y.U. There has been speculation that Doug Free could be sent packing this offseason and if that is the case Dallas could opt to replace him with Central Michigan OT Eric Fisher. Alabama OG Chance Warmack would be a great fit as well if he were somehow still available but that seems unlikely. It wouldn’t hurt to upgrade at strong safety either and local product Kenny Vaccaro of Texas could be a possibility. As a real darkhorse watch out for a quarterback since Tony Romo is starting to get a bit long in the tooth and his inability to win the big games is becoming more troubling.

Erik Williams was a RT douche

 

[Midswat]

lol

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Erik Williams was a RT douche

He could play lt too douche. Flukey would get eaten alive there.

I dont recall Erik Williams ever lining up at LT, unless it was his rookie year in a preseason game or something.

Not saying he couldnt have played it, but he never did.
