Mel Kiper & Todd McShay Mock Draft 4.0

The draft is getting close, but the experts can't agree on many picks

It's been a full month since the last time we joined forces for a mock draft, and while a lot of things have changed -- nearly every player on this mock went through a pro day during that period -- some mock scenarios have remained.

But not many. That's because the added evaluation process truly has brought about some changes on our boards. Players who struggled at the combine and lost some momentum regained it, and there are a number of players in the mock who are showing off their physical skills in workouts for the first time after not being fully healthy to participate in Indy.

As for changes, the mood at the very top has stayed relatively consistent -- chalk that one up to Sam Bradford's solid performance for scouts recently -- but beyond that, there are many changes. Free agency and trades have shifted priorities, and the mock will show a lot of shifts.


12. Mel Kiper
Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Kiper: Getting Karlos Dansby minimizes a need for a player like Rolando McClain here, and the Dolphins are thin up front, and also facing suspensions (Jason Ferguson). I liked Williams here before, and I still do. A great leverage player, he can occupy blockers and disrupt for the Fins.

12. Todd McShay
Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
McShay: We would like to see Morgan in a 4-3 front, but Miami's 3-4 scheme features bigger bodies up front and Morgan would provide the pass-rush ability and toughness against the run a depleted Miami front seven desperately needs.

:hithead: Do you guys realy think we need that much help on the d-line to pick eather of these guys before we get a top (wr) i.e Dez or (fs) Taylor I mean everyone knows that the Tuna likes his player big and who is bigger at there positions than Dez or Taylor. we can get a big man for d-line in the later rounds dont think we should rush into d-line with the 12 pick

Ggippo....how many of those guys are legit number 1?

How many in this draft are? Nobody knows.

Exactly its a huge mystery. WR's are drafted early and end up bust all the time and vice versa

I like Bryant at pick 12 just dont think he will be there. However if you ask me how many of the guys that I listed besides Bryant are true number ones honestly nobody knows. Carlton Mitchell has been compared to Brandon Marshall.

Ggippo: Im just saying that a (dt) with the 12 pick we can get one later in the draft I think that Dez will be there for use if not then we can go deffence. But still say he will be there for use

I remember when Phins Rock was telling me how great Williamson is, and how he was poised to have this season without Favre...and now he's labeling him a bust.
Gets more and more ridiculous every day.

I agree w/ the point of taking a DT at #12... I don't like that pick, I think Williams is a reach right there. If Bryant was there I wouldn't mind that pick either, but I'd still like to go with a LB here in the 1st with either McClain, Morgan or someone like Brandon Graham who can likely hybrid it.
