Mock Draft Spectacular

Pick 21:  Vontae Davis, CB  

I'm sticking with this pick, especially given today's news that Brown is not happy with his contract.  Darius Butler is also a possibility here.

Pick 53:  Andre Brown, RB  

Sticking with Brown because, this is a pick I'd like to see, but I don't think it will happen.  Having addressed OL at #28, and knowing they won't address WR, I'm left with DL or RB because I really don't want any of the TEs available at this point.  I could seem them taking Sidbury from Richmond or Gilbert from San Jose State, but I like a 220+ pound RB who runs a sub 4.4.  If they don't take Brown I could also live with Green from Iowa - actually I'd take whichever is smarter and can learn how to pick up a blitz better.  Finally, it's tough not to take Chung the safety from Oregon here, but they seem to have a lot of safeties in the fold for now and they really need a RB.

Pick 85:  Richard Quinn, TE  

I had Barden the 6'6" WR first, but now I think the Birds are committed to running the ball more.  With Brown drafted, Peters at LT, and a real FB, Quinn is the final piece to the running game puzzle - a TE who can block.

Pick 21: Donald Brown, RB Connecticut

Has good all-around skills and better production than McCoy in the same conference. Has good speed, can run inside and out. Will need to improve as receiver and blocker but shows at least adequate ability there. Looks like he would be a quality runner, not quite the guy you would want in on 3rd down and long though.

Pick 53: Chase Coffman, TE Missouri

So he's just a tall, slower WR, right? I think he is a great red zone threat. He has a great pedigree and can step right in and be a threat in the passing game. He understands football and has good work ethic. Hopefully he can evolve into a slightly below average blocker since the quickness and desire are there. He has as good hands as anyone in the draft just not the athleticism of the others. I'd rather have someone who will always catch the ball and understands how to run routes (i.e. be past the first down marker) than a supreme athlete.

(Note: Too high for D.Brown but I like the combination of D.Brown and Coffman better than Pettigrew and A.Brown which would be my other option. Pettigrew would be a great choice but is not quite the same receiving red zone threat and Andre Brown has less production than other RBs but looks like he could be the inside runner that can also catch and block and take over for Buckhalter.)

Pick 85: Victor Harris, CB Virginia Tech

Has multiple skills including being a capable kickoff and punt returner. Only lacks elite deep speed but has ball skills and football attitude. Is 3rd round too high for probable career back-up? Maybe. But he plays a critical position and I really do not trust Hanson as starting CB if Samuel or Brown are hurt. He could probably play free safety and will be a good special teamer. I imagine his role similar to Demps last year. Is a bit of a punk so might not fit the Eagles' mold.
