    Here is my latest mock, let me know what you think and feel free to add your own.

    Round 1 - Antoine Cason CB Arizona ~ Why? CB has little depth to begin with and Harper can't stick with faster WR's and he is only getting older. So with only Finny as starter material we need another CB. Cason has the size at 6'0 185 lbs and speed 4.45 to stick with any WR. He is a fluid athlete that can flip his hips and run and has good ball skills (15 career int's). He has plenty of experience too, he has been a starter since his freshman year and is solid in run support. He will be a shutdown CB within 2-3 years and is an upgrade already.

    Round 2 - Earl Bennett WR Vanderbilt ~ We all knew WR was a need coming into the offseason and still is even if we sign a FA. Bennett has been one of the most consistent WR in the country for years. He is a very polished route runner and has above average speed to get downfield. He is a complete WR with adequate size at and has sure hands which VY will love. Not afraid to go over the middle either and knows how to get open.

    Round 3 - Chris Ellis DE Virginia Tech ~ With Kearse being mainly a pass rush specialist we need a DE to develop as a full time starter. Ellis is an athletic pass rusher with decent size at 6'5 265 and the frame to get bigger. He had his best season this year with 8.5 sacks. He has a lot of potential and would make an immediate impact off the edge. He would rotate with Kearse and Fisher letting him learn the position slowly and eventually take over.

    Round 4 - Ezra Butler OLB Nevada ~ Bulluck and Thornton are awsome but can't play forever. Butler is a big OLB at 6'2 245 lbs but runs in the 4.6 area. He has the speed to run sideline to sideline and the bulk to hold up at the poa. Give us great depth as well and will learn from the best.

    Round 5 - Mike McGlynn OT/G Pittsburgh ~ Amano isn't the answer at G and Harris is most likely going to take over at C next year. Leaving Scott to hod down one position and a battle between Loper who is better suited as a backup OT/G and Amano who isn't good. McGlynn is a fiesty blocker with power. Should take over LG by next season.

    Round 6 - Justin Forsett RB California ~ Undersized...yes but who cares. We already have 2 big backs to pound the rock but no scat back to catch passes and reel off some big runs. Forsett might be undersized but he's a solid 5'8 195 lbs and is suprisingly good between the tackles. He has very good speed and shiftiness as well as recieving skills. He is a very underrated RB and I hope we see that would be a nice compliment could even surpass Henry. Dantrell Savage is my second option.

    Round 7 - Jason Shirley DT Fresno St. ~ 6'5 330 lbs and runs a sub 5.0 40 time. No joke the guy is very raw but he is a massive DT with speed. He is a high reward low risk pick. If he develops into wht he could be imagine Big Al and Jason clogging lanes and running down QB's. Take a chance on this guy he might just be worth it.


    I'm guessing we get a 6th rounder for Bennett so I added it.

    I don't know about that first pick, he sounds pretty solid but I don't know if we need to go CB first rd....and I doubt Earl will be there when our time comes to draft in the 2nd round.

    Harper, Hill, Finny, King................I see absolutely no depth and one CB who I would want starting (Finny obviously). King is a nickel back who could step up in a pinch.

    Other than those 2 what do we have? Harper might as well put on 35 lbs and be a LB because all he is good for is run support he can't cover for s***. Hill still hasn't found out you can look back for the ball. He is a wussy in run support and gets picked on in the passing game no use.

    Leaves us with a #1 CB, and a nickel back. Yeah we could use a CB first pick.

    Earl should be there and if for some crazy reason he isn't there is still Jordy Nelson or Dexter Jackson and Manningham could even drop.

    i see your point but how deep is the draft in CB? I know there are none left in FA but I think we could do better than Cason.

    Not a very deep class but its not close to loaded. Better than Cason? I'd say he is the 2nd or 3rd best CB but will be taken after McKelvin, Jenkins, DRC, and Talib for some reason.

    I would rather have Leodis McKelvin. I think he may be the best CB in the draft. Plus he has return skills as well. He will be long gone by time we pick in the first round. Most mocks have him going to the Pats. I would pass on Cason. Bennett could be around into the third round. I would like to see the Titans take him around then.

    I agree I like the draft, especially Ellis in the 3rd. I could see us switching WR and CB between rounds 1 and 2 depending on who is available and where we think someone could fall.
