Post Christmas mock

Interesting stuff. I think you are on the right track and we will need interior DLine help next year because as you noted, Reader will need to be replaced and our depth is poor there in general. Look at how bad things have gotten with just Reader out, and we still have a healthy BJ Hill, Hubbard, and Hendrickson. If you can't manage to stop the run when missing just one starter then you are in trouble for sure.

That said, the first round might be a tough place to fix things. If Newton isn't there (I have seen him mocked 8th overall and 16th) would you consider a right tackle? Either JC Latham or Amarius Mims are who I have in mind. 

I do think Brandon Dorlus is a great 2nd round pick and there is a good chance he will still be available at that point. And I love your 3-5 picks.

For round 6 another option might be Cam Jackson. If bother of them are there I might still go with Nasir but it doesn't hurt to have a backup pick in case he is gone. 

In the 7th round I'd rather take a flyer on Jordan Strachan (tall, lanky DE).Interesting stuff. We will need interior DLine help next year and of course we already can see what things look like without DJ Reader.
