CBS Sports has 3-4-5 folks that pump out mock drafts once a week or so. Of varying quality & realism. Most are 10,000 feet and not too plugged in to Bengaldom. Latest I could find:
1. Josh Edwards, Dec 22nd. #28: O'Cyrus Torrence, OG, Florida.
With Witherspoon & Phiilps at corner, Van Ness and Foskey at DE, Addison at WR, and Ika at NT all on the board, I seriously doubt it. And while we certainly lack an OL stud, guard is a strage spot. Cappa is our best lineman and they are over the moon with Volson. If all the CB & DE options are off the table, and there is no round 1 worthy OT left, then maybe. But this pick only helps the future cap sheet if we waive our best lineman (Cappa), and it only improves us on the field if we bump Volson. Does not make much sense to me.
Though, the consensus mock draft site has him as our pick. With Witherspoon availavle. He's have to be a STUD for this to work. Serious Volson upgrade near term.
2. Chris Trapasso, Dec 21st. #28: Joey Porter, Jr , CB, Penn State.
He has his CBs in a bit of a different order, and I'd prefer a still available Witherspoon to Porter, but CB makes a ton of sense, and seeing Sr in Orange and Black cheering for his son could be appealing. Robinson, Van Ness, Foskey also on board.
3. Ryan Wilson, Dec 20th. #27: Broderick Thomas, OT, Georgia.
I don't think he'll be there, but if he is, picking him makes a ton of sense.
