A Mockery of a Draft

[Direckshun]

I like to do mocks, so I'll just put up countless mocks in this thread where it won't clog up the main forum and anybody who cares can comment.

(Bring back DraftPlanet.)

For right now, I'm assuming that the Falcons go a game into the playoffs. And I'm assuming we traded our 6th and 7th picks to the Dolphins, while acquiring an additional fifth for Thigpen.

1. S Eric Berry, Tennessee

You absolutely know that Pioli wants DL or a passrusher here, but the only guy that seems to justify it to me is McCoy if he comes out, but we dropped our 3rd overall on a 3-tech last year. No WRs justify this slotting just yet, so I'm going with the safe, smart pick.

2. DL Boo Robinson, Wake Forest

I'm in deep for this guy right now. Potential NT?

2. WR Brandon LaFell, LSU

I like receivers from big schools, as a rule. LSU especially.

3. OT Kyle Calloway, Iowa

Big body for the right side, making our interior line a priority.

4. DE/OLB Antonio Coleman, Auburn

Coleman's not a great sack artist, but the guy is constantly in the backfield of Auburn's opponents.

5. C Joel Nitchman, Michigan State

This year's crop of C's are more finesse than they are power. Nitchman is a notable exception.

5. RB Anthony Dixon, Mississippi State

We need a new power back who can churn his legs and take punishment. Dixon's pretty athletic for a 240 lber.
