Mock Draft - Starter with each pick!

By JPZ on Apr 9 2012, 11:53p 31

Tis the season to do mock drafts, so I tried one with a twist. Grigs has said he's going into the draft this year looking for a starter with each pick. Well considering we have 4 picks outside the top 200, that will be a tough task. But below is a mock that may be able to accomplish this goal.

I used the consensus rankings from all the top draft sites, so nobody is a huge steal: http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2012/3/29/2913019/consensus-big-board-massive-update-top-224

Round	Overall Pick	Name	Position	Notes
1	1	Andrew Luck	QB	Omaha will explain why this is a good pick
2	34	Coby Fleener	TE	Sub 4.5 speed at 6'6" and 250 lbs - aka Gronk 2.0 - plus 27 reps on bench.. will start day 1
3	64	Josh Robinson	CB	Fast, strong corner. 5'10", 199 lbs who ran a 4.3 40… starts day 1 with Powers
4	97	AJ Jenkins	WR	Fast receiver (4.39 40) who runs good routes, impressed in postseason play. Poor man's Marvin Harrison (similar build/speed/shiftyness - 6' 190lbs) - should beat out Avery in camp.
5	136	Senio Kelemete	OG	Solid guard prospect who played tackle in college. 6'4" 310 lbs, should beat out Reitz/McGlynn.
5	170	Tank Carder	LB	6'2", 236 lbs. Fast LB - 4.56 speed. Could beat out Conner due to pass coverage skills.
6	206	Michael Smith	RB	5'9", 207 lbs. Very fast RB - 4.33 speed, and good receiver out of backfield - limited production due to split carries with Robert Turbin. Could easily outplay Donald Brown and take his job. Or at least become the 3rd down back and kick/punt returner.
7	208	Nick Jean Baptiste	NT	Boom or bust pick, lets hope boom. Good postseason and workouts. 6'2" 335lbs, could beat out McKinney for NT job by year's end.
7	214	Coty Sensabaugh	CB	5'11", 190 lbs with 4.37 speed. Best when playing press man, which Pagano likes to play. Could win 3rd corner job.
7	253	Drake Dunsmore	TE/FB	6'2", 240 lbs, 4.6 speed. Versatile TE/FB who can line up all over backfield or in slot. Will start at FB.

Thoughts?? and yes I know, last 4 picks starting will be tough... suggest some alternates if you have other 7th rounders you think could start this year (or next yr with coaching). I really think the first 6 picks should all challenge for starting jobs THIS year. there is enough talent in the draft, and our team sucks enough, to realistically get 4-5 starters in this draft
