i would rather have mack then ansah, mingo, or jarvis jones last year. as well as over irvin, poe, or fletcher cox in 2012, von miller and aldon smith went in the top 7 in 2011 and mack is a better prospect than both of those players.
the only situation in which i would consider taking clowney over him this year (mainly i have issues with his work ethic) but i think he is a pure 4-3 DE. i think clowney is too stiff to fit the role of the LEO and would be sort of a tweener in this defense.

I could see the team do exactly that, although I tend to think that the more likely scenario is to counter Clowney going to Houston by grabbing Mack. I would really hate to see them take another tackle in the first round, but there is some way to justify the move if they actually did so.

Its not responding like a puppet.
You're forgetting that its not out of the realm of possibility that Matthews is indeed the "best player available" at the selection.
Just because Don Banks writes a puff piece on Mack doesn't make him automatically the best option for the pick.

I didn't realize the Mack rise is directly tied to Don Banks' "puff piece". Seems to me his name was already being discussed when that article came out.

mack has been projected to go in the top 5 for about 3 months now.
when did this silly don banks puffery come out?
Oh wait, that mock game out today?
Then it's only a puff piece because it doesn't fit your narrative.

That was sarcasm used to make that very point.

A mock draft a puff piece? Do you even know what a "puff piece" means?

It's a fluffy, glittery piece? Soft like cotton balls? Pretty sure that's what he was thinking.
Either that, or he didn't actually read the article and just fired off an ill informed opinion.
Nah. He'd never do that.
Quote:I guess I look at that different because its not an unabated direct insult to one specific poster. Thats one thing I have taken OUT of the repitiore because its just bad ettiquette. I viewed the above as more of a generalization. But You might have a point there. I'll work on that.
Keep digging. Only a few more miles to China!
Quote:That was sarcasm used to make that very point.
i know, i was basically agreeing and asking when that article he is referring to came out. i hope it was last week.
edit: looks like the piece he is talking about came out literally today hahahahaa.
also banks has had mack at 7 or above since his first mock in the beginning of february. weird.

Yeah puff piece.
Banks mocked Mack to the Jags and he talks him up to back up the selection.
Doesn't speak of the potential negatives of the player, thats for sure.
Be careful what you wish for....you just might get it.

That would suck.
The Rams instead of trading out should just take Watkins (who they need) which would allow the Jags to either take Clowney at 3 or trade down with the Falcons and then take the BAP left at 6.

Shocking. Be mocks a player to a team, then explains why he did so, and this somehow makes it a puff piece.
Did you actually read the mock? He did the same thing on more than one pick. Darn him for not nitpicking the negative. It's a shame he didn't consult you since negativity is a lifestyle for you.

That mock didn't fixate on the negatives for Mack. Another puff piece where they make a pic, then justify the pick with confusing, positive words.

I didn't say that he only did that on the Jags pick, but what he said on Mack amounts to a puff piece.
Hopefully it doesn't turn out like his mock draft.
Where's the barstool diva mock draft? I think the world needs a negative, gloomy, heavy mock draft.

He explained the pick.
I know reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, but seriously. You're ridiculous.

He wrote a sentence on Mack. Quite a puff piece.
