1) Von Miller. This team has enouh weapons to score points, we really need a true #1 receiver, but IMO Von Miller (when healthy) is a truly elite pass rusher and would help our defense immensely. He would need a lot of work in run suppport, but I think we have the staff to help in that area.
2) Ricki Stanzi - You had to know it was coming at one point or another. I used to say that Ricki Stanzi is a player that I wouldn't touch before late 3rd or early fourth round, but with the way he is playing this year I would spend a second on him.
He is big
Strong arm
Protects the ball very well
He attacks with the ball very well
Goes through his progressions well (something he is much improved on this year)
Lots of experience in a pro set
Lots of experience being coached the way we coach
Has shown to be a clutch player over his time at Iowa...he has made the game changing plays to win not only big regular season games, but also the bowl games they have won.
Good leadership skills
Wins games
Good mobility
Very strong accuracy (something I wouldn't have said last year)
Very coachable (look at his improvement over his time in Iowa City)
Through 6 games:
68% completions
1474 yards
10.1 ypa
13 td
2 int
180 qb rating
3) Kristopher Odowd/Steve Wisniewski - (Odowd) I liked him last year and would have taken him at 50 if he was there, but he elected to come back for his senior year and some health concerns may cause him to drop to this point. If they do, I would take him in a heartbeat. This would solidify the middle of our line for years to come with a very solid set of young guards and a young beast at center. (Wisniewski) The guy is a damn good center and I doubt he lasts this long, if he does he would be a dam near perfect fit for our scheme IMO.
4) Steven Friday - I have liked what Ive seen of this kid when Ive seen him on the field. He seems to be a fairly complete backer that could be a role player at worst and a difference maker at best.
5) Derrell Johnson-Koulianos - I know there may be a bit of Iowa biased in this one, but he finds ways to get open against good defenders and makes plays. So far this year he has 7 touchdowns and has the NFL size and speed to be a good possession receiver. Maybe more, would be a very good 5th rounder.
6) used to trade up to get one of the two centers listed in round three.
7) Ronald Johnson - a good pick if his injury concerns don't hurt his ability to transition. Decent size speed ratio and Lord knows we need help at receiver. He may not have a legit chance of lasting this long though.
I know this may not be the best mock, but I feel it would give us solid players at positions of need all over the field.
Flame away
