Oakland Trades #7 Pick: Top 10 Mock Draft Part II
After playing around with the various picks and seeing how players are moving up I decided to do another Mock Draft.
This is similar to my last mock in that I had the first three picks the same. However with WR Braylon Edwards nearing a deal to be traded to the G-Men (I never thought it would happen), Cleveland could be a spot for Crabtree provided Seattle decides to draft Aaron Curry instead of Mark Sanchez. Two players I imagine Mangini would like would now be gone (Raji & Curry) and thus he would take the best available player left on the board, Michael Crabtree.
If this were to occur, Cincinnati would then take the best LT remaining and Oakland would be fielding several trade proposals for Sanchez because Jacksonville could be a likely destination for him if he’s still there when they pick.
Does Oakland trade down or do they take a chance on Jeremy Maclin, DE Brian Orakpo (whom many analysts are calling this year’s Vernon Gholston), or LT Andre Smith? Do they reach for LT Michael Oher (whom I believe is another Mario Henderson)?
1: Detroit- Matt Stafford
2: St Louis- Eugene Monroe
3: Kansas City- BJ Raji
4: Seattle- Aaron Curry
5: Cleveland- Michael Crabtree
6: Cincinnati- Jason Smith
7: Oakland- Possible trade down because Sanchez is in Al’s lap?
8: Jacksonville- Jeremy Maclin
9: Green Bay- Brian Orakpo
10: San Fran- Andre Smith
I still don't believe Oakland will trade down, but if Crabtree & Raji are off of the board, what do they do? The DE's in this class are loaded and one could still be available in the second or they could hope DE Kyle Moore is available in the third round.
What are your thoughts?
