Walterfootball 2011 3round Mock Draft

I can definitely see us making a move for cofield rather than gambling on a rookie NT next year.

After drafting Al Woods over Cam Thomas I don't really trust our FO decision making when it comes to DTs. It seemed like they liked the smaller 3-tech/5-tech DT's in the draft, I wonder if we will go that road again. We could still sign Cofield and then draft another DT.

as for DE, don't be suprised if we make a play on vernon gholston when he gets released.

gholston would come dirt cheap having played his entire career out of position in a 3-4 scheme.

If Gholston is brought back to the 4-3 scheme he'd go back to beast mode. His game in college was always strength, the bull rush, he puts up some great combine numbers and then Mangenius decides he can play OLB in the 3-4. He just isn't built for the 3-4 and anyone who knows football can tell that. He has more talent than anyone we could draft in 2nd round, probably first. I'll be on his bandwagon once he gets released.

i also have my sights on sam Acho of Texas

Haven't watched him play this year, I'll have to before the season is over. I watched Ryan Kerrigan against Notre Dame and he totally beasted it up. Unfortunately I think he is getting over hyped and will go earlier than he should, maybe his stock will cool down as the season goes on.

if marvin austin were to fall to round 2-3 because of character issues i would support taking a gamble on that guy. he just reminds me so much of darnell dockett. he can even drop smoothly into zone coverage at times and has the size at 310 that i would look for as a backup 3 tech. he really is a top 15 talent.

I know he's a top 15 talent but this FO will never draft that guy. His off field problems are the least of his concern, on the field the guy hardly ever tries and his work ethic is almost non-existent. We've never even shown the slightest interest in players like him before and I doubt we will with him. Even in the 3rd round we'd just be wasting our pick on him.
