February Rookie Mock - 2013

[TheOracle]

I like Graham substantially more than every remaining QB.

[Detroitcity]

Toneloc: i don't know a whole lot about Gavin Escobar, can you give me the scoop? You like him that much over guys like J. Reed and D. Sims?

Admittedly, my knowledge on Wheaton is limited at best. However, watching his cut ups & highlights, its crazy how much his build, running, catching, & mannerisms remind me of Mike Wallace. Watch his tape, its almost creepy how similar they look & run. According to many reports, Wheaton will shine at the combine. If he were available, he would be a great late 2nd early 3rd rd kinda guy. I took Wallace early 3rd his rookie yr & I have seen nothing but rewards from that selection. I'm not sure Wheaton has Wallace like upside, but his game is very similar.

Damn! Henry took my pick. I'll settle for Wilson. Potentially a big risk but also a decent gamble in the 3rd round. Wilson is a playmaker with a tall frame but needs to add more muscle if he wants to play against the more physical corners in the NFL. He'll probably spend a year buried on some team's depth chart for his rookie year and will obviously need to pass the character evaluations leading up the draft but he's got solid hands and can consistently move the chains for an offence. Isn't fast enough to be a future #1 but with the right coaching and system can be a good #2

[TheOracle]

Damnit.

[BPP]

I had forgotten about Michael or I would have grabbed him at 3.4. However, I think by the time the NFL draft is done and landing spots are settled, I expect most of the RBs taken in this draft will go higher in the real thing.

[TheOracle]

Michael might be my #2 RB on this class. It seemed like nobody else knew about him. I'll have to aim higher soon, I think.

[nicaragua]

was seriously considering Michael w/ the 2.12, looked great at the Shrine game. I think Franklin was just more fresh in my mind after his great Senior Bowl week. of course though landing spots are going to sway things big time when all is said and done.

[clarion contrarion]

michael really what am I missing part time back that gets injured more than evel knievel
that equals pass to me

[TheOracle]

I think he's the most impressive athlete in what's looking like a group full of either plodders or committee scat backs. He's fast, big, runs with good pad level, seems to have good balance. Problem is he's a complete idiot. But to me he feels like a borderline 1st round talent with 3rd round injury concerns and an undrafted brain.
