Another Mock, With Trade Scenarios
First, I want to say this is more of a best case scenario mock, because there are a lot of trades. I'm not assuming these trades will happen...it's more what-if. As I've done before, I'm using the DraftTek web-site, this time using CMD 6 as a guideline. If a player in this mock falls significantly lower than what's expected (i.e. Alshon Jeffery), I'll assume he's already gone. At the same time, I'll only take whatever is available at that pick.
1. 7. TRADE with EAGLES for 1.15, 2.45, and 2.46
The Eagles will probably not come to a new contract with DJax. Even with guys like Avant, Maclin and Smith, an elite breakaway wide receiver has got to be at the top of their list. Little did we know, that the trade the Browns worked out of the Falcons last year would give us an easy pocket to pick, as the Eagles have 2 2nd round picks. With the Eagles still thinking they're only a few pieces away, they are now able to jump Carolina for the first or second (depending on how they're board looks) WR in the draft. It's a win-win trade.
1.10. TRADE with BILLS to this spot for our 1.15 and 2.46 picks. Draft RILEY REIFF, OT
Some people might have a problem with doing this if we get that first trade, but I don't. I'm a believer in the Reiff, and I think along with signing Carl Nicks, we'll have one of the top O-Lines in football with strengths in both pass and run blocking. We have now successfully gotten a free second round pick out of moving back 3 spots and drafting a guy who'd be worth number 7, anyways.
2.38. Draft DWIGHT JONES, WR
There are many receivers that could be available here. Some people like Wright, some Sanu. I like Jones. I think no matter what happens in the draft, we take a wide receiver in the second round.
2.45. TRADE back to BEARS with this pick and Mike Thomas for 2.50 and 3.80
In this mock, the Bears went with a WR in the first round. The Bears are pretty much legendary for their bad offensive line, and they'd like to do something about that. The Bears secure OG Cody Glenn and pick up one more weapon (or so they think) for Jay Cutler.
2.50. Draft STEPHON GILMORE, CB
High on some people's boards, and low on others.
3.71. Draft TYLER WILSON, QB or VINNY CURRY, DE/OLB
I've heard from people on this site that Wilson isn't coming out, but I've read it nowhere else. Please link me if I'm wrong about this. I think both Wilson and Curry are second round talent, and I also think top of the 3rd round is a little far for either one. That being said, if either one falls I'll grab him (as both are available on DraftTek). Very last choice would be Mike Brewster, OC.
3.80. Draft MARVIN MCNUTT, WR
I imagine McNutt and Jones would play a similar role on the offense, leaving a big target on all downs.
4.101. Draft MICHAEL EGNEW, TE
Reuniting Gabbert and Egnew. Egnew was the best TE in college with Gabbert throwing at him.
5.134. Draft RYAN BROYLES, WR/PR
Mike Thomas 2.0. Let's get it right, this time.
7. ? Draft SHAWN POWELL, P
Strong leg, good Athlete.

I like Wright
But I think we can get the same player with Ryan Broyles who may go as low as the 5th round. Wright wouldn’t be disappointing, though.
Broyles
I really like Broyles. I have no idea where he will be projected, since he tore up his knee. Young guys do bounce back from knee injuries (Willis McGahee, Frank Gore, Wes Welker to name a few). I watch a lot of OU games, and that offense completely fell apart after he got hurt. They didn’t even let Landry Jones play in the redzone without Broyles, they usually used Blake Bell in those scenarios.

lol, disappointed?
No. I’m just having fun in a what-if mock draft. Ain’t that serious.
McNutt
A lot of people have him as a second round pick, can’t see him falling to the 3rd in any scenario
A lot of guys worth a second round pick at WR this year
Jones, Wright, Criner, Sanu, Mcnutt, Toon, Fuller….those are just some of the top names. At least one of them will fall.
Why not just draft the people you want with the picks we actually have?
Trading down to 15 then back up to 10 is kind of a mess. If we really want Reiff, we should just take him at 7.

I'm looking at it from the standpoint that we're approached by the Eagles
7 looks like a good spot for them to get the 1st or 2nd receiver, who I think they’ll be trying very hard to get, on their board. When offered 2 2nd round picks, we can’t pass the offer up. We then try and trade a 2nd off to move back up (something Gene isn’t afraid to do for the guys he likes). We get the same guy and a free 2nd. We then turn that free 2nd into a free 2nd and 3rd (well, unless you count Mike Thomas having a lot of value).
Believe me, I know this is unlikely. It’s just a fun what if best case scenario. Gene always has a couple of head scratching trades, and I really think the Eagles will want to move up. I don’t even think they have the salary cap to add 4 guys in the top 100, lol.
so unrealisitc
too many trades happening and mcnutt and curry falling is way too unrealisitc

There are a lot of WRs
One of the “tier-2” guys will fall, and Mcnutt could be the one.
Curry falling is pretty unrealistic. Which is why I gave 2 alternates.
To be fair, it’s really hard to say who’s going to fall or not, right now. Players fall after the combine, and if a guy like McNutt or Curry doesn’t stand out, they could fall. Obviously it’s a blind shot in the dark to try and predict trades in the draft, especially this far out.
I invite you to re-read the first two sentences of this post.
I understand this is a bit unrealistic
But I do think it’s possible. Like I said in the first 2 sentences of the post, "
First, I want to say this is more of a best case scenario mock, because there are a lot of trades. I’m not assuming these trades will happen…it’s more what-if."
I’m not going to be disappointed if our draft isn’t this cool. I’m simply pointing out that it could be.
Best case would be Andrew Luck with pick number 7...

We stick where we are in 1st
Stay in the 1st round and trade more picks to get back into first round to get a WR.
