Okay, Okay, I Give In-Possible Mock-1st 2 Rounds Only


Since everyone is posting their last mock drafts I figured I would focus on the first 3 rounds and varying possibilities based off the mocks I read.

#8 pick possibilities

Mike Iupati, Trent Williams, Bruce Campbell, Golden Tate, Jimmy Clausen, Joe Haden, Dan Williams, Taylor Mays

Safe Pick: Trent Williams

Ideal Pick: Either Williams, Iupati, Haden

Batshit Crazy Pick: Mays, Clausen, Tebow

Granted, I would love a trade for Suh. I see us taking one of the Williams depending on whether we go defense or offense in the first. Whichever way we choose will determine who we pick next.

My pick: Mike Iupati, just because he's mean, nasty, former Vandal (Cable's input on this draft will be suprisingly more than most people think), and a trench warrior. Add in the fact most people think he will go later like DHB last year and you have a quintessential Al pick.

2nd round possibilities

Rodger Saffold, Tim Tebow, Taylor Mays, Linval Joseph, Terence Cody, Vlad Ducasse, Pat Angerer, Donald Butler

Safe Pick: Saffold

Ideal Pick: Saffold, Angerer, Butler

Batshit Crazy Pick: Tebow, Mays, Cody, insert random pick here

My research starts to lag here. I've been focused so much on the 1st round possibilities that I've neglected to do much more looking around. So forgive me if I forgot to mention your preferred choice here.

My pick: Angerer. A warrior like Iupati, he fills the gap at MLB and adds a toughness that is sorely lacking. He joins Iowa alumni Robert Gallery and Brandon Myers as the latest Hawkeyes to don the Silver and Black. It would not be the first Davis pick based off of having a sweet name. See Stryker Sulak.

I also like some of the other players here. My only hope is that at least 3 of the players drafted become solid contributors with one becoming a Pro-Bowler. Love to hear your opinions.
