The 2014 College Draft is approaching us and I have put together my mock draft for my peers consideration.
Without adieu:
Rd 1(3): Khalil Mack - OLB/DE - Buffalo - 6'3" 251 Lbs 4.65/40
Simply put I think he will represent the BAP assuming that Clowney is gone.
Rd 2(39) - TRADE to JETS for Picks 49 (Rd 2) and 115 (Rd 4) - More picks to rebuild with
Rd 2(49) Weston Richburg - C - Colorado State - 6'3" 298 Lbs 5.10/40
Marcus Martin is picked by the Ravens one selection ahead, but Richburg should be the Jags starting Center for the next 10 years
Rd 3(70) Dakota Dozier - OG - Furman - 6'4" 313 Lbs 5.42/40
Jags need another interior Olineman and Dozier has some special skill sets that will help him win a starting job perhaps as soon as his rookie season
Rd 4(105) - Robert Herron - WR - Wyoming - 5'9" 193 Lbs - 4.48/40
Jags need more depth at WR
Rd 4(114) Jordan Tripp - OLB - Montana - 6'3" 234 Lbs 4.67/40
Jags need more depth at the OLB position
Rd 4(115) Aaron Murray - QB - Georgia - 6'1" 207 Lbs
Murray will sit out his rookie season but in my mind is as talented as Andy Dalton of the Bengals
Rd 5(144) Jerrick McKinnon - RB - Georgia Southern - 5'9" 209 Lbs 4.41/40
Another QB to RB candidate that has some special skillsets
Rd 5(150) Kevin Norwood - WR - Alabama - 6'2" 198 Lbs 4.48/40
More WR depth - pretty good possession WR out of the SEC
Rd 5(159) Brent Urban - DE/DT - Virginia - 6'7" 295 Lbs
More depth at the DE position
Rd 6(179) Matt Patchan - OT/OG - Boston College - 6'4" 302 Lbs 4.97/40
Talented Olineman who had a string of injuries that beset him since his days with the Gators
Rd 7(205) - Brett Smith - QB - Wyoming - 6'2" 206 Lbs
Another QB to throw into the mix
Rd 7(222) Walt Aikens - CB - Liberty - 6'1" 4.49
If not for his checkered background could be a mid round selection
Thanks for the mock draft, Stigma. They are always fun to look at and thought provoking. I can't take issue with most of your picks as they are all conceivable. The most interesting part of your draft are the selections in rounds 2 and 3. Richberg and Dozier are solid picks at positions of need. Although the 2nd round may be early to take a center, the Jaguars can't afford to miss out on one of the top players at this position. I'd probably rather the Jags make a move for DeLaPuenta so they would have the option to take another pass rusher like Crichton in the 2nd. Although I love the acquisition of Clemons, he can only be counted on for a few years so I'd like to see a high pick on a pass rusher.
