Twitter Live Mock Draft

Nick Fairley to the Titans?

Here are the results from tonight's live mock draft. @EugeneStasakJr, @JoeGoodberry, @Chris_Lomas_, and myself @ABXXV25 got together and divided the draft picks amongst each other. The order of picks; Joe, then me, then Eugene, Chris, and then back to Joe, etc…

The biggest faller in round 1 has to be Nick Fairley, with Tennessee getting the best value pick of the draft at pick #8. The biggest reach might be Ryan Mallett at pick #12, but this should not surprise people if it becomes reality on April 28th. With Blaine Gabbert and Cam Newton already drafted, Minnesota still is in need of a franchise quarterback and could be forced into taking their man. Waiting until round 2 might be too risky, as the talent will drop off after Jake Locker, Christian Ponder, and Colin Kaepernick.

Marvin Austin lasted
until the end of the 2nd round.

Hopefully tomorrow we will draft for round 2, and I will update accordingly…

Update 2-25 Wow there really is a huge talent pool to choose from. The likes of Stephen Paea, Cam Heyward, and even Jon Baldwin were available during round 2. San Francisco got their quarterback of the future in Christian Ponder. Marvin Austin was the final pick in the 2nd round. No real runs on any position occurred in the second round, and many teams fulfilled big needs. Philadelphia got a lot more talented at the offensive tackle; Kansas City brought youth to their growing 3-4 defense; Baltimore was even able to get faster at wide receiver, while also drafting a future replacement to Ray Lewis. Anyways, take a look at who your favorite team drafted, and feel free to comment below and let me know what you think.

Jonathan Baldwin Scouting Report

WR Jonathan Baldwin, Pittsburgh University, 6'5" 230 lbs. (Underclassman)

Size/Ball Skills - 10 - Has unbelievable size, looks more like a tight end... Amazing ball skills... Goes up and gets the ball at its highest point... Deep threat... Will have a huge height advantage over every corner in the NFL.

Speed/Quickness - 7 - Long strider with surprising speed... Probably will run in the mid 4.5's in the 40... Not very quick.

Productions - 9 - Breakout sophomore year, established himself as a major deep threat and playmaker...19 games with at least one reception over 40+ yards... had a down year this year with a new quarterback.

Route Running - 6 - Gets by people because of his surprising speed...Runs a lot of a simple 'go' and 'curl' routes ... Does not get a lot of separation... lacks the quickness to make great cuts

Best Fit: On a team that is missing a deep threat and a player that can open up the middle of the field for an offense. Teams that are missing this type of weapon: Browns, 49ers, Giants, Rams, Patriots, or Seahawks.

X-Factor: If Baldwin comes out, teams will look heavily at his 40 time above all else. Anything above 4.6 and his stock will plummet, anything below 4.5 and many GM's will fall in love with him (just look at 6'6" Matt Jones, who played quarterback in college, he was amazingly drafted 21st overall because of his 4.41 in the 40.) Baldwin will draw comparisons to Calvin Johnson if he can light it up in the 40.

Where he will be picked: It is obviously still early, but I think he will end up somewhere in the late first round to early 2nd, it will be hard for GM's to pass up the height/speed combination he possesses.

Where he should be picked: 2nd-3rd round. I love Baldwin's playmaking ability, and I think he can be a good player, but I don't think he has the versatility or quickness of a guy like Vincent Jackson, I don't see him becoming a star receiver.

NFL Comparison: Roy Williams, Dallas Cowboys
