Could easily be Minter. I had him sitting in that spot for a second but I saw Allen there still too and I figured I'd take that route. Kind of fucks the Ravens as a whole so not a route I'd take again probably.

These early mocks (yes these are still early in comparison to the combine/draft/etc lol) are just playing around with scenarios mostly. The top 10ish picks don't change all that much, but the rest is just see how it plays out.



Move pretty much every OL piece up one spot (Williams to you guys, Hansen to the Jets and so on) and then Dysert to the Niners in the third and Boyd not in this mock and that's how that changes lol.

Boyd to SF?

13. Tampa Bay (7-9) - Johnathan Hankins, NT, Ohio State

Yes dude - thank you for NOT mocking us a fucking DE like everyone else seems to! With one more beast like McCoy next to McCoy, expect our DEs and LBs to suddenly erupt with TDLs/Sacks/Ints and all out scarier D.

I can deal with this for sure. Solidifies some spots, and hopefully whatever safety we draft is for real. We need a playmaker back there.

I don't like it... Hankins is good but I personally think he will be a bust. But everyone is mocking us with DE's because of where we were ranked in sacks this year.. I don't know exact but we were about at the bottom. But I do agree that the bucs need someone next to McCoy preferrably a space eater so this is a good fit as I don't think any other DT/NT's are good enough to go in this spot. My dream would be Star Loutuieie (Spelling?) and would also want Bjorn Werner who would also prolly be gone :).

Obviously our biggest need is Secondary but after banks and millner there is no one to go here. Nice mock tho I like it. Also I would rather the bucs take Poyer over Amerson...

The best NT (Star) and second best DE (Bjoern) aren't going to be available at 13, but it's wishful thinking like you said lol.

I liked Amerson more for the Buccs because he can play corner or safety. He'll be better suited at safety but it gives them flexibility later in the draft to get either a pure corner or pure safety, whichever the better talent is available at their pick.

In this scenario though, it would have been better to grab Poyer because they land probably the best pure FS in McDonald in the next round, but there was no way of predicting that.

Bump this before tomorrow's games.

Don't see atlanta needing a DT that high... i think peters and vance along with our former 1st rounder perry will mature. i do however think we need a Guard who can handle a power rusher... rest of the picks i like.

Barkley lol
