Sac's 2012 Post Combine Mock Draft - Page 4

2012 Post Combine Mock Draft

1. Luke Kuechly, ILB; Boston College: 6’3”, 242 lbs.
- I’ve had Kuechly mocked here before because it represents the best player available situation for the Chiefs. Kuechly is one of, if not the, most instinctive linebacker in recent memory and averaged nearly 16 tackles a game (15.9) for Boston College this past season. During the Combine, he showed top flight athleticism and speed and was a top performer in nearly every single drill. His combine numbers were better than Pat Willis. He’s an elite level guy for the MLB position.

2. Kelechi Osemele, OT; Iowa State: 6’6”, 333 lbs.
- Osemele measured in at the Combine at a hair under 6’6”, tipped the scales at 333 lbs. and had the longest arms of any offensive tackle in Indianapolis. He ran fluidly in the drills for a guy his size and also showed power in benching 32 reps. There is power in both the top and bottom halves of his body and really enjoys drive blocking opponents into the ground. He’s also a three time academic Honor Roll student as well as a 2011 First Team All-Big 12 player.

3. Robert Turbin, RB; Utah State: 5'10", 222 lbs.
- Turbin showed up at the Combine looking like a Thomas Jones clone (maybe more buff) with huge arms, a thick neck and a barrel of a chest. He also showed exceptional speed for a 5’ 10”, 222 lbs., running a 4.44 in one of his 40’s. He was also a top performer in the majority of the drills. To back that up, he also averaged 6.1 ypc, 126 ypg, with 19 touchdowns on the ground. He’s shown himself to be a very good receiver as well, averaging 10.1 ypc and four TD's in 2011. They guy is a top flight all-purpose back.

4. Ryan Lindley, QB; San Diego State: 6’4”, 229 lbs.
- Lindley has two things that the NFL loves: prototype size and an absolute cannon for an arm. He’s also undervalued in terms of athleticism. He put up decent combine numbers, but it’s the arm which is going to get him drafted around the late third/early fourth. He struggled with inconsistency in his passing in college due to his reliance on his arm, but if Zorn is as good as he’s reputed to be with QB’s, Lindley could turn into something special.

5. David Molk, C; Michigan: 6’1”, 298 lbs.
- The reigning Rimington Award winner (top college center) and First Team All-Big 10 (beating out Wisconsin’s Pete Konz) possesses excellent strength and leverage and put up an incredible 41 reps on the bench at the Combine.

6. Drake Dunsmore, TE; Northwestern: 6’2”, 241 lbs.
- Dunsmore had a terrific combine, being a top performer in all the agility and speed drills. He averaged 11.6 ypc for the Wildcats and had six TD’s in 2011. A versatile end with good hands and an underrated blocker. First team All-Big 10.

7. Jeron McMillian, S; Maine: 5’11”, 203 lbs.
- Think of Jovan Belcher as a safety, regardless of the fact that both went to Maine. McMillan is a hard-nosed, instinctive football player that is fundamentally sound. Is very good blitzing the quarterback and is a fierce run stuffer. Ran a solid 4.56 40 at the combine along with a very good 36.5” vertical.

Most people say he needs to move inside to G because he's undersized and cant handle speed for T but Sacc is going to project him as one of the best second day tackles in the draft because he plays for BYU.

He measured in at the Combine at 6'5" and 302 lbs. with 33 1/2" arms. (And he played at around 325 lbs. his junior year.) That's undersized?

Or are you going by what you read on some Bleacher Report mock?

And frankly, I don't care where he went to school. He's been one of the better left tackles at the college level the past four years. Very consistent, is very good in both the pass and run protections and has very good footwork. I've never seen him have a problem with speed rushers and he shut down everyone he faced this past year.

Again, go watch the BYU/Ole Miss game from this past season. You can see both Reynolds and Rebels RT Bobbie Massie in a game time situation. Reynolds was far and away the best lineman on the field. Not even close.

The Chiefs at least believe they have a long term solution at Center with Hudson.

As fun as it is to tee off on Sac, Matt Reynolds was a very productive starter at BYU. I don't think he has the feet to play LT in the NFL, but he should do fine over on the right side.

Sac, say we do in fact sign Winston tomorrow. COuld you get on board with taking Decastro at 11?

If Hudson can play center to the same level that he played guard, sure.

Hudson was as good a guard at the college level as DeCastro - maybe even better.

Personally, I'd rather trade down, get some additional picks and take Konz, who I believe is an elite level center prospect, and keep Hudson at guard.

Alright guys, the Ravens resigned Birk. They likely aren't taking Konz.

Anyway he falls to us in the second?

No.

Besides, I seriously doubt that he even would get to Baltimore.

Chicago is the most likely place he gets picked. They really would love to move Roberto Garza back to guard. Looking at the draft, Konz to Chicago makes the most sense. They love tough guy centers there and with Konz playing at Wisconsin, they guy is ready to suit up in Chicago conditions.

BryanBusby · 03-17-2012, 11:23 PM

That's a maybe. J'Marcus Webb is ****ing garbage at LT and I've heard they like Mike Adams as a LT, so I think they'd opt to go that direction instead.
