Bored Mock

My thought process in this was to get safeties that can Man up and play the slot receiver for their team regularly ... this would help Dick or who ever the DC is to call bump and run man to man blitzes as both safeties can cover ...

Using the Drafttek Mock, and Picking Players that are left or there when we would pick

1st - Kenny Vacarro - FS - Texas

2nd - Zach Ertz - TE - Stanford - Heath recent injury may bump this position up the Need list

3rd - Eddie Lacy - RB - Alabama

4th - Duke Williams - SS - Nevada

5th - Trevardo Williams - OLB - Uconn

I like 1 and 3.

We got Paulson in round 7..........we won't use a high pick for TE. We have some other needs first.

I like their first two picks a little better(Warmack, Elam).

We hit the jackpot 2 tears in a row. Last year no one in their right mind thought DeCastro would fall to the Steelers this year Manti T'eo falls to us . Mark it down, you heard it here first.

Talk about slow linebackers trying to cover tight ends

I doubt Te'o will fall but anything can happen ...

If we go through 3 rounds without drafting a pass rusher or a WR... I'll be completely shocked.

PS Vaccaro doesn't fit your description of the type of safety you want at all (man up, slot)

you must be confused by what you see in college ball, and what he'd be capable of at the NFL level. He'd be a good fit in lebeau's system , and I could easily see him in a Troy role here. But if you think he's going to man/press NFL slot WRs, you're mistaken.

He's a zone coverage, playmaker who is pretty terrible in run support, but is a weapon that a defense can disguise in multiple ways.

hmmmm sound familiar? lol
