re: Recruiting Mock Draft 2012 - JOHNNY FOOTBALL!!

Team Dro selects Devontre Parnwell, DB




Ht: 5-10
Wt: 175
40: 4.38

Parnell is a fast and explosive corner who makes a ton of production on the perimeter. Very instinctive with great awareness skills. For programs who deploy a hard, underneath corner in zone schemes this is their guy.

I will take OL Blake Bars Michigan

My defense is now complete! Here ya go bitches

DL: We all know 3-4 requires big Defensive linemen who can flat out play. They need to command double teams to free up the LB's

Arik Armstead might be the best player in the country when it's all said and done. He is an ENORMOUS ahtlete at 6'8 290. And I do mean athlete. He is cat quick, smooth, and vicious on the field. Should play immediately for Oregon

James Hamilton is the perfect NT. He is 6'4 335. One of the stronger players in this class and has the motor to go with it. Went to USF for one reason, he should start from day one.

Tyrique Jarrett could probably play NT or DE in a 3-4 but he will be mostly a DE for my D. He is kinda the same story as James hamilton but a lot quicker and not as hyped (both were underhyped). Another guy that could start right away for Pittsburgh.



LB: Linebackers are what it's all about in a 3-4. If you have two bad mofo's in the middle, and two relentless sack artists on the outside, you will be a force. If those guys can cover and run sideline to sideline, you're pretty damn unbeatable.

Denico Autry is 6'6 250 and he is the pass rushing specialist every team needs no matter what scheme. MSU will be depending on him to wreak havoc in backfields all year. Autry is almost purely a pass rusher in my scheme kinda like Demarcus Ware. Won't need pass coverage because he will be a blitizing, OFTEN.

Reggie Ragland is 6'4 245 and might be the best LB in the country. Hate that Bama got him because he is in the exact mold of the LB's that they have had so much success with. Not much needs to be said about this guy.

Joe Bolden is 6'2 235. Compared to Ragland, Bolden is small. Compared to mortals Bolden is a monster. Bolden is one bad dude when it comes time to make a tackle, and he has fantastic instincts. He can really run sideline to sideline and I think he is the one out of Michigan's great LB class that will have that immediate impact. Bolden has a paul posluzny neck and should be a Michigan great.

Jeremy Castro is 6'3 245and is the perfect compliment to Denico Autry. He can pass rush as good as anybody but the surprising part of Castro's game is his pass coverage. This combined with his great athleticism and pass rush ability will get him on the field early for UCLA.



Secondary: I don't care what scheme you run. If your secondary is trash, your defense is trash. Fast, physical corners with good ball skills and swagtastic safeties are ideal.

Tee Shepard (CB)is a great Corner to build your secondary around. He has the size 6'1 185 and tools to be a lockdown guy. Notre Dame got a great one and should put him on the field early.

Lucas Thompson (FS)is as swagtastic as they come. If this guy stays at ECU and doesn't go to jail or flunk out, he will have some big time highlights and even more memorable quotes/tweets. Big fish in small pond. 6'1 190 with great speed and ball skills. Early contributor+dreadlocks=win.

Quadry Antoine (SS) is one of the biggest hitters in this class. His highlights make me wish LSU would have found room for him. Ridiculous attitude should fit right in in the SEC. 6'1 210 already. Antoine is gonna be one of those Strong Safeties that is always a candidate to be moved to OLB because of his speed and tenacity.

Gary Simon (CB) is very similar to Tee Shepard in that he has great size 6'1 180 and covering ability. Simon is fast and has good ball skills. He'll have a lot of fun trying to defend the pass in the very defensive minded big whatever they wanna be called conference but I think he has serious potential.

In the 19th round, Team BigBoyTiger selects....TJ Holloman, ILB (6-2, 206)...South Carolina.

I noticed. Quick question DLD. What do you think about schools past players being a prediciton of of future players success.
For example, Arik Armstead is an absolute monster! But who was the last great defensive player to come out of Oregon? Same for Tee Shepard. Kelly has been more offensively oriented.

Also, I really like the Joe Boldon pick. I think Michigan brought in some good defensive players this year. With Michigan, Michigan State and Nebraska on defense (not to mention Meyer's talent and historically tough defenses), the Big 10 might become a kick in the teeth defense soon.

Suntiger, I am leaving class now. I will definitely be on later for some real discussions

Yeah, Haolti Ngata is awesome, but when compared to somebody teams like Texas, USC, LSU, bama, Florida, who have multiple NFL all american/award winners, Oregon seems more of an offensive school.

I'm only wondering because I've picked a few Pac-16 defensive players who haven't done much and I'm starting to look at trends in recruiting/coaching. That's one of the reasons I like this draft. I can pay attention to see if it's more recruiting or coaching.
