MOCK and 53 man roster

[MJB]

1) We will run the 4-3
2) We will re-sign Stacy Andrews, Jonathon Fanene, Dhani Jones, Landon Johnson, and Madieu Williams
3) We will release Dexter Jackson and John Thornton
4) We will sign Corey Williams and Bobby McCray

1st) Derrick Harvey DE 6'3 265 Florida
-Probably the best defensive lineman available at this point.
2nd) Trevor Laws DT 6'1 297 Notre Dame
-Tore up at the senior bowl, mini Sedrick Ellis
3rd) Keenan Burton WR 6'2 195 Kentucky
-We're starting to get a lot of question marks here
3rd) Anthony Collins OT 6'5 310 Kansas
-Whitworth is looking more and more like a guard, I think Alexander could develop him into a damn good center, but provides depth at Tackle regardless
4th) Jermichael Finley TE 6'5 240 Texas
-Needs to improve on some faucets of the position, but should be able to be a lot like Kevin Boss.
4th) J Leman MLB 6'2 237 Illinois
-Probably going to get leap frogged for a lot of workout warriors
5th) Mike McGlynn OG 6'5 315 Pittsburgh
-He's got a killer instinct, with not so good intangibles, he can long snap too
5th) Jonathon Hefney FS 5'8 190 Tennessee
-Not very big, but how big is the defensive player of the year?
6th) Jack Ikegwuonu CB 6'1 193 Wisconsin
-Would have been a 1st day pick if he hadn't blown out his knee, should be able to contribute in 2009.
7th) Traded for Fitzpatrick
7th) Pierre Garcon WR 6'0 205 Mount Union
-Division 3 player, should be able to contribute as a Kick Returner

If you switched Heffney with Keenan Burton, would make more sense. Hefney is a 2nd/3rd round prospect while Keenan Burton is a 5th of 6th rounder.

Lehman might go undrafted as well.

[MJB]

I use www.nflcountdown.com for my draft info, and it has Jonathon Hefney rated as the twelfth safety prospect. I believe that Keenan Burton's stock will rise because his combine numbers are going to be ridiculous. It is reported he has a 43.5 inch vertical. As for Leman, I know it is very plausible that he goes undrafted, but he is so damn productive that I don't see it happening.
