Fat E's Mock Draft
Here is my 2012 mock draft. I know a lot of you will hate it, but oh well.
1.11- David DeCastro G, Stanford--Drafting a Guard at 11 is just painful for me but De Castro is something special. It isn't just that he is going to be, in all likelihood, a GREAT guard, he is also a very cerebral player. When interviewed, he had an understanding of the Stanford offense that rivaled Luck. I think that will be important for the Chiefs O-line in establishing both running and throwing lanes if we are going to maximize the talent that do have; I don't think Mark Castle is long for the Red and Gold. We will be getting a QBOTF either this year or next. Tannenhill will be gone by 11 (thankfully) and I think the sleeper of the draft can be picked up later on. 2.44- Alameda Ta'amu NT, Washington--The Chiefs finally get thier NT which will really shore up the D and make it one of the top (if not the top) defenses in the NFL--in 2013. Gotta give the guy a year or so to really develop into the position. 3.75- Brandon Taylor S, LSU-- Here is a guy who will really create a great combo with Eric Berry. You can really disguise a defense with these two because either can play SS or FS. Taylor needs to work on his ball skills, but he can really lay the wood and is plenty fast for a safety. 4.106- Russell Wilson QB, Wisconsin-- I know just about everyone will hate this pick, but this guy has IT. Yes he is short; give the guy platform cleats if it makes you feel better. The fact of the matter is he is EXTREMELY accurate, has a rocket for an arm and is a very smart QB. His lack of size has never hurt him and if you look at the Badger O-Line, it is pretty obvious that he has no problem seeing the field even though the guys in front of him tower over him. This guy will be the steal of the draft-I guarentee it. 5.137- Vontaze Burfect ILB, Az State-- This guy is a total headcase. It is why his draft prospect has fallen so far. Absolute nutjob. And an idiot. But he hits really, really hard. Really hard. Crennell has dealt with his fair share of idiots and will command his respect. I think Crennell can whip him into shape and make him a coachable prospect. If Burfect can play with some semblance of control, he can be a terror. 6.170- Terrance Ganaway RB, Baylor-- Big guy. Can be a bruiser between the tackles. Will be a liability in passing situations since he really hasn't had to block with RG3's speed. Good depth for a low pick. 7.200- Jacquies Smith DE/OLB, Mizzou-- Good leader; can get to the QB. Could provide some nice depth. 7.220- Josh Oglesby OL, Wisconsin-- Huge guy. 6'7" 338 lbs. Was very consistent on a good Badger O-line. Rip away folks. If you don't like a pick, at least tell us why you don't like it and who you would pick in place of the person you don't like. Fat E |

I don't hate Russell Wilson. I'm fine with him. Just not in the 4th round.
I'm a Madison resident. I saw a lot of Badger games this year. Wilson has escapability and a good feel of the pocket, but I don't really think he has "it" like you're saying. It was easy to get frustrated with him a few times this year, especially in losses to Michigan St and Ohio St. Those two losses were inexcusable. They definitely exposed our weak secondary this year, but they also exposed a clutch element to Wilson's game that he didn't really tap into this year. I honestly believe Wilson will be available for us in the 6th or later if we want to draft him. I wouldn't take him any earlier than that given his age. |

I like it man. Rounds 1-3 are solid. Rounds 4 and 5 are ballsy. Ganaway is alright. I know nothing about the last 2 guys.
All in all, I could get down with that draft. I think you're going to have to get Wilson before the 6th. For comparison, Tyrod Taylor was taken in the 6th last year. Wilson has similar size and athleticism, and is a MUCH BETTER passer. That's gotta get him off the board a round earlier, especially in this QB class. |

Burfict is very very likely to go undrafted according to Mayock, McShay, and Kiper.

Burfict is the perfect Raider. He will commit more penalties per minute of play than any other player in the NFL. True, he is a complete psychopath, but he's as likely to take out one of his own teammates.

No offense intended, but that is the worst draft - ever.
Burfict sucks. He shows up at the combine completely out of shape, slow as molasses in the winter and with a bad attitude. The 'niks are correct. No one is going to draft him and he'll be lucky to play in Canada. He was horrible last season for ASU. DeCastro is a guard. We've already taken two first team All-American guards the last two years. Are you people ****ing stupid or something? Wilson? Seriously? The guy measured 5'10 and something at the combine. And people bitch about Kellen Moore, who was a legit 6'0". Ta'amu didn't do shit against half the guys he played against. Got washed out at the senior bowl. Looked bad at the combine. He's not that good. Seriously. Oglesby doesn't fit the zone system. And he got worked over by most speed rushers. Waste of even a seventh rounder. Horrible draft. Sorry. Didn't mean to be overly critical, but that is one total shit sandwich of a draft. |

Sourse notwithstanding, it is a terrible mock.
