Mel Kiper Jr. Invitational Chatter....

I guess we are recapping some of the reasons behind the guys we picked.

I really enjoyed it, wish I could have been live for the whole thing. Hope we do another one similar to this before the draft and have more participants.

The team I got I absolutely cant stand. I hate the Niners, with a passion. But I did my best to draft guys that made sense for them and people I would draft if my team had similar needs or positions of concern. My plan was either to draft the stud 3-4 pass rush guy (Quinn or Von Miller) or take Gabbert as the answer to the ongoing QB issue. Since Quinn and Miller got picked before I went, I got the other target on my list.

San Francisco 49ers (dbair1967)
1(7) Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri: They dont have a QB, Alex Smith aint it. Gabbert probably fits Harbaugh's passing scheme the best of anyone in this draft, and they need a corrnerstone to build around.

2(45) Leonard Hankerson WR Miami: One, he was the guy I thought was BPA here. Two, he's a talented WR and gives Gabbert a trio of really talented skill guys to throw to with Crabtree, Davis and now Hankerson.

3(76) Brooks Reed DE Arizona: Other than QB, their biggest "need" is pass rush IMO. And Reed seems to fit the mold of a true 3-4 OLB. Probably a role player initially but has starting potential.

4(107) Jeremy Beal OLB Oklahoma: Had I been able to do the whole thing live I probably would have picked someone else here after taking Reed in the 3rd rd, but they cant rush the passer and he has 3-4 OLB potential, as well as a guy who can put his hand on the ground in a 4-man nickel defense RDE role.

4(114) Shareece Wright CB USC: Like Wright alot and really thought he'd go a little earlier. Good nickel CB candidate with starting potential.

I won't go through all my picks, I'd just like to point out that I may have cheated a little. For the last 3 weeks I've been talking to a Detroit Lions fan at scout.com.

He gave me the run down on what his team is lacking and what he'd like to see happen on draft weekend in April.

1(1) Da'Quan Bowers DE Clemson- There was a couple things i was thinking here, DE, DT, and WR were all needs of

the Panthers, I was gonna suprise the board and take AJ Green because i figured i could try n get back into the first

round n grab a DE or DT but instead i went with who i think is gonna be better. Bowers is a peer pass rusher n is

gonna be n instint beast.

1(17). Brandon Harris CB Miami- I had jumped back into the first round trying to grab a WR but instead grab a great

Corner who has some potential and thought it was a big need but would clear up some age at that spot.

3(65)Deunta Williams S North Carolina- A great pick here another player i though was BPA and thought he had early

secound round potential. It was just another pick that would help sure up that D that carolina is none for.

4(97) Austin Pettis WR Boise St- Didnt do much research on WR even though it was a need but figured he was a name

i knew so i took him for my final pick. He is probably a reach but i dont care i got a WR lol

Hold on, maybe it's better with 3D glasses.

Plus,you totally grabbed Carter in front of me.

I wish I liked you.

My bad, Homey.

Don't feel bad, Midswat stole Rahim Moore from me, and I was sure I'd get Ahmad Black in the 3rd, but Mr. Mike W. would have none of that.

sbk92 · Feb 16, 2011

Winicki thinks he's hot shat with his draft class.

Midswat · Feb 17, 2011

cowboys2194 took a 1-15 teams draft and sold out on the secondary and receivers.

Sbk is pleased.

:awkward

My grades are in lol

Midswat · Feb 17, 2011

My weiner twitched as I read my write up.

It almost makes me want to be a Texans fan.

Rock Slamdance · Feb 17, 2011

I'm a fan of my Bill's draft. The automated 3rd and 4th rounds turned out pretty good. last time I let my body fail me during a mock draft...

DoomsdayDefense · Feb 17, 2011

I missed the second day, but I ended up with great picks in the 3rd and fourth rounds. Overall I like my draft. No write-up, other than I wanted to get defense in the first and a QB in the 2nd. That's where the value was IMHO.

I just turned in my grades, hopefully in time.

Are there plans for another one of these before the draft?
