A Mock to Fix the Linebacking Core


Recommended Posts

Disclaimer: This is not an actual mock, but just a fun draft to see how much I can change the position to make it better!

 

Trade: Picks 36, 37, 67, and 178 (1345) to San Fransisco for pick 9 (1350)

 

Round 1, Pick 6: Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech

Round 1, Pick 9: Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia

Round 2, Pick 49: Darius Leonard, LB, South Carolina State

Round 4, Pick 104: Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio State

Round 5, Pick 140: Hercules Mata'afa, DE, Washington State

Round 7, Pick 221: BPA

 

Reminder, This Draft is not something I would want to happen, but rather something that would solve our Linebacker issues for years to come. Edmunds and Smith start immediately, with Leonard potentially starting by midseason. Jones slides in as a starter at RT, and Mata'afa becomes a rotational pass-rusher year 1, with starting potential in year 2.

 

Next up, A Mock to Fix the Pass Rush! Enjoy!!

    • I thought someone might ask "who" I would want him to swing for the fences for.....and its tough to explain, but I will try. I would have loved Marv Jr. for nostalgia but knew that was unrealistic at any cost.....Liked the idea of Brock Bowers, etc. but its not really "WHO" for me, it was the effort, risk it....and this applies to FA as well. Go out on a limb for a difference maker, I think they are more qualified to determine "who" that is than I.....and maybe there wasn't one. but over the last 7 or 8 years there have been opportunities in FA and draft. So maybe my disappointment is more cumulative than this instance specific......Dunno if that makes sense, he has played it safe for years and does well with what he has had, guess I am saying (my opinion) at some point you gotta say "I am pushing all in" for this player as we need that over the top player now......and he never seems to reach that boiling point. 
    • Nice to see you so positive Doug. I like the pick as well the more I think about it. Hopefully we have our QB in AR, our RT in Raimann, and now our Edge in Latu + Buckner is still All-Pro worthy on the D.Line. Pittman is a good possession WR but I still wish we had a legit deep threat to really open things up at WR. I guess if Taylor runs the ball at a pro-bowl level it could open things up more, hopefully Nelson stays healthy. I do like Downs a lot. Pierce to me, is on a prove it to me level. 
    • This is how I feel as well. It’s frustrating to see other teams in our division build around their young QB and we’re left watching. Seems like a broken record but year after year we enter the draft with SO many holes. The Texans basically went worst to first and will even be better this year with the moves they made. At some point I hope we can get out of the mud. AR needs another weapon and sadly the ones that could make an immediate impact are gone. 
    • I think Latu is exactly that kind of player, who is said to be the most special edge rusher in the draft. Only concern with him was neck injury, but he recovered from that 2 years ago and his awesome tape shows the kind of special player, far from injury concerns. Without that injury history, he'd have been top-10, if not top-5, player in this draft easily.    So, what more swing-for-fences move you refer to? Which player did you have in mind?
