I think Ingram will be perfect for the Chargers. It was hard because I thought DeCastro was perfect too, but it was tough to argue. They had a nice draft. I like the Eagles pick of Cox, their first 3 picks were perfect for their team. But seriously, Nick Foles? Ironically, the only real pick i got right after the first 3 was my GMEN picking up David Wilson.

He's a very good blocker who can help our young OTs on the edge. He's a bonehead though and believes he's a great reciever too. He isn't. He is worth a low risk one-year contract because we need bodies at TE. I hope he comes in motivated, plays above up to his potential for a new contract and becomes someone else's mistake next year.

3/22/12 UPDATE

2012 DRAFT PICKS:

Kevin Zeitler, OG, Wisconsin (1st Round)
- With a definite need on the interior OL other than Snee, Zeitler can fit right in a LG and possibly move to C in the future if they part ways after this year with Bass. At this point, he is likely BPA and moving up draft board.


Doug Martin, RB, Boise St (2nd Round)
- With Brandon Jacobs gone, it becomes more important to get Bradshaw a running mate. The best case scenario is to get a productive runner who is strong between the tackles, ready to play, a good pass blocker, and a decent pass catcher. Martin fits all those descriptions. He is also likely to hit late Round 2 as the RB position falls on team's radars and his workout numbers weren't eyepopping. Has KR ability.


Trevor Guyton, DE, California (3rd Round)
- Cal ran a 3-4 and Guyton played all over the line. His size makes him ideal for a 4-3 end and has the potential and explosiveness to make him a perfect 3rd DE to Tuck and JPP after 2012 when Osi and Kiwi are both possibly gone. He also could slide inside in our NASCAR pass rush package.


Nigel Bradham, LB, Florida St (4th Round)
- Bradham played great for FSU, but will be overshadowed by higher potential players. He is tough, intense, and versitale.


Aaron Henry, FS, Wisconsin (5th Round)
- Henry has some durability issues amd strength, but provides excellent character, diagnoses run and pass plays well, and provides good good coverage. More of a football player than a mesurables guy. Great fit for 3rd Safety on Defense.


Chris Owusu, WR, Stanford (5th Round- Compensatory)
- Manningham is gone. Nicks and Cruz are as good of a WR combo as any, but we need a 3rd WR who can work outside while Cruz dominates the slot. The GMEN will likely give Ramses Barden, Domenik Hixon, and possibly another cheap FA WR a shot, but they will likely draft a WR in the 1st four rounds. Owusu shows great hands, the ability to seperate and make plays against 1 on 1 coverage, but his stock is lowered due to injury concerns. Has KR/PR ability.


Levy Adcock, OT, Oklahoma St (6th Round)
- Adcock was quietly a great contributer to OK St's high flying offense and made sure Wheedon was able to complete all those passes to Blackmon. He will struggle against some speed rushers, but plays with good positioning and balance. Eli is the type of QB who doesn't hold the ball too long and can get away with non-elite OT. In the 6th Round, this may be a big payoff.


George Bryan, TE, NC State (6th Round- Compensatory)
- Bryan is a little like Jake Ballard, a good blocker who is a decent catcher and red zone target. If Ballard misses his target return, Bryan will give great depth.


Donnie Fletcher, CB, Boston College (7th Round)
- Fletcher has the production and experience to contribute as a nickle and dime back and provides injury insurance for Webster, Prince, and any other CB that GMEN get. His average senior bowl will likely drop him to this point as many teams reportedly graded him as a undrafted FA.


Look for UDFA's like QB- G.J. Kinne, WR- Travis Benjamin, and DT- N.J. Baptiste.

In case anyone is interested, I broke up the Mock and added reasons for it on my profile/blog page. The reason I picked non-pass rushers for the Cardinals is they have two they like in Sam Acho and O'Brien Schofield. For the Chargers, they have good money tied into Jarret Johnson and Shaun Phillips and Antwan Barnes impressed as a pass-rush specialist. Pass Rushers in this draft are as hard as any position to pick. Almost all the higher-end guys could go easily Top 15 as they could End of the 2nd, depending on the team's preference.

Thanks for all the feedbak. I tried to include more detail, but was held back by character limits. I've seen a lot of reports from Cleveland papers to SI linking the Browns to Tannenhill along with Miami and KC. I don't think much of him, but I'm going by where I feel the draft will go. If Cleveland wants a QB they aren't likely to be able to trade down and get him from Miami (his college coach is now their OC). As for TR, he's good as any RB in a long while, but my thinking was that he'll fall because he is a RB, plus his knee scope might scare a team off. As a Giants fan, I must admit I'd be scared if he went to a loaded team like Detroit. Like (UN) said, its likepicking a NCAA bracket (I actually picked Missouri to win it all) at this point. Trades and other things will change it, but I tried to do the best possible job.

I believe, straight up, they can get a 2nd Rnd from teams like Browns, Seahawaks, or Bills. They may trade before draft day, but, remember, the 1st Round is now a full day before Rnd 2 and later rounds. Reese can wait to the 1st Round is over to trade Osi for a 2nd Round. A team like the Seahawks or Browns could panic and try and get their QB with the Giants no. 32. A future 1st in 2013 would likely be top 10 from either team.

Diehl had a bad year, and at $4 million, he's too expensive. Goff is a FA, and is replacable. Grant is aging and, like last year, will look for a better offer than Giants will offer until possibly the last minute. At that point, it may be too late.

I forgot to add due to character limits, I restructured Jacobs and Cant and cut D.J. Ware, Ramses Barden, Jim Cordle, David Diehl, Mitch Petrus, Spencer Paysinger, Clint Simtin, Chad Jones, Brian Witherspoon
