There's just no way we can **** up the 20th pick, is there?

There's gonna be some damn good players available when we pick, that's for sure.

Parker, this list isn't update. I don't create "waves", but it's obsolete currently.

Why is it obsolete? Shouldn't the play for 3 or 4 seasons at college be the biggest factor? Between now and 1 day before the draft you are going to see completely and utterly useless mocks that change for no real reason. One kid will bench press 5 more times than another and some idiot will have him jump 20 spots.

I don't want Kiwi either.

A good example is Demarcus Ware. a sure bet as a second rounder, but elevated his stock to the top 15.

I don't want Kiwi either. I wouldn't mind Kiwi just not in the first round. I think his stock is dropping alot. He either needs to kick ass at the combine or he may fall even further. Right now, I think he's a strong 2nd rounder.

I just don't think Kiwi is gonna be able to handle NFL tackles. If he drops like a rock, I might take him late...

He has been a force in the collegiate ranks, I don't see him falling further than a 3rd rounder. Alot had him cemented as a 1st rounder last year, if he would have entered the draft. I think, he's a mid 2nd rounder who could rise or fall with the combine.

The combine is overrated. People will jump or fall for the stupidest things. You can't measure heart and determination and that's what it all comes down to.

kiwi for our 2nd rd pick (42nd???) would be a decent pick.

he does have athletic potiential ... i just think he's gonna take some time to learn the new moves it's gonna take for him to be successful in the NFL.

1st picks should be NFL ready

It would be more than a decent pick, right now it would be a big steal. I'd take him in the 2nd. I was talking more about taking him in the 1st, which right now isn't a good idea IMO.

The question to me is, is he good enough right now to contribute from day one.

Our first rounder has to be someone that can unseat one of the useless POS on our defense.

Our second rounder has to be someone that can contribute, if not start, from day one.

Our first rounder has to be someone that can unseat one of the useless POS on our defense.

Our second rounder has to be someone that can contribute, if not start, from day one.IMO, I'd like both the first and 2nd round pick have a legitimate shot to compete for a starting role. That means a guy that will come in and force a vet to up his level of play, or replace him.

That's why I'm so high on drafting a safety. Besides being one of many needs, it's a position that has a history of paying fast dividends from high draft picks. If you look at the safeties taken in the first two rounds over the last few years, there's a high success rate, with fast results and very few busts. IMO, only the RB position is comparable in terms of a position where rookies can make such a quick impact.

I don't see Kiwi as a starter this year. He might not ever be one in our defense. He strikes me more as a pass rush specialist, and I don't want to use a high pick on a part time player. I don't know who else might be there in round 2, and I suppose most of the line positon guys would only be roatation guys early. I just see Kiwanuka as a project, much like Siavii.

That's the same impression I'm getting from reading the scouting reports on him.

.....

According to the 7 round mock draft thread, our 2nd rounder is the 54th pick.
