A little far fetched, but maybe we should listen.

Found this today, and found it interesting. I have not done much study on the predicted picks, but the method of acquiring is what I find interesting. It could actually work.

gotta love the idea - having 12 picks in the draft would great if we can also get some free agent help here

while many here question what Allen & Shanahan can do the reality question is "is this franchise better managed than it was?" - the answer is simple - YES

while some question and worry about the mistakes - why not think about the possibilities here for improvement - these guys do know what they're doing and we already answered the question about whether we're better off - SOOOO -

I'm looking for some good free agent qcquisitions and adding to our draft picks - I think these guys will show that they know how to 'properly' build an NFL franchise

we are getting better

To be honest, that looks AWESOME. But that probably means no way. Ill admit I dont know alot of the lower guys in that mock, but I really like all those trade ideas, even though some may be unlikely. It also does a great job of drafting players in our positions of weakness, which we have no had in a long time. We have always drafted the best player available instead of players in position of need. (Drafting Davis when we had Cooley or Kelly when we just drafted Thomas, or Horton when we just drafted Moore)

I hope we change that and start drafting the best player available IN A POSITION OF NEED. Im tired of drafting a player and thinking "dont we already have a starter there?"

It might make sense to get through the combine before we start making mocks about players who may or may not even be available. A lot can change between now and then, and Dalton is not exactly "off the radar" at this point.

Mock Drafts are fun as long as you do not put to much stock in them. The forst one I saw has the redskins taking QB Ryan Mallet with the 10th pick.

Very far fetched, but I would sign up for that immediately. Just replace Pouncey with Wisneiwski from PSU and its perfect.....I'm a little bias as I am a Penn State fan. This draft is very deep, and there was a draft to load up with as many picks as possible, this is the one.

I agree about Wiesnewski and Im not a PSU fan. He dominated last year as a Center, and has dominated this yr as a RG. I would rather have him over Pouncey, but would not complain either way

While that sounds nice, it's so freaking implausible it's ridiculous. For instance, why would the Patriots trade up to get the #10? That's just not been their MO, as they seem to find more value in the late first, and 2nd-3rd round than they do in high first picks...
