Third round DT/DE/WR prospects?

**rich1978** · 04-16-2012, 08:04 PM

Ok, Gratuitous request for mock draft advice needed!

So I'm doing a seven round mock draft on a different site and the first round didnt really pan out how I wanted (took Martin from Stanford at 19 through a mix-up, should have been Mercilus!) and then thought I'd get lucky and have Chandler Jones fall to me in the 2nd but he didn't so I took Bruce Irvin. I'm about to start the third round and was just wondering what you guys would think if this is how the draft played out?

It's my view that the first four rounds should be WR, OL, DE, DT in whichever order represents best value. The WR class seems fairly deep and i'd be tempted to leave that til 4th round.

My question is this though, the first and second rounds have been fairly well covered in the media but 3rd onwads less so. Who woud you want the bears to take there if they had gone Martin / Irvin in rounds 1& 2, and why?

Cheers!

WR with third round grades im considering (and still available):

Devon Wylie, Fresno State
Joe Adams, Arkansas
Jarius Wright, Arkansas
Marvin Jones, Cal
Nick Toon, Wisconsin (6'3")
Marvin McNutt, Iowa (6'4")
Jarrett Boykin, Virginia Tech

DT with third round grades (and still available):

Josh Chapman, Alabama
DaJohn Harris, So Cal
Mike Martin, Michigan
Dominique Hamilton, Missouri
Jaye Howard, Florida

I'm now leaning towards considering one of the taller WR's above, probably Toon if he is still there. Hoping i can get value at DT in the fourth (or persuade Adams to re-sign!)

5th round onwards, i'd take a CB, OL project and then BPA, maybe reach for a few high upside high risk projects.

OR Perhaps CB over DT

CB

Brandon Boykin, Georgia
Coryell Judie, Texas A&M
Alfonzo Dennard, Nebraska
Casey Hayward, Vanderbilt
Jayron Hosley, Virginia Tech
Shaun Prater, Iowa

Any obvious ones im missing? Any stand outs on that list?

I'd be interested in what the draftniks on here have to say, guys like windy etc

Thanks

Look at Safeties in 3 and 4 as well.

cheers, Markelle Martin could be an intriguing prospect but I'm hoping Conte steps up this year at FS. I think the guy has promise if he can stay injury-free. Major wright, jury is still out but other than a depth pick in the 5th or so, I'd leave safety i think unless one of the real big picks dropped inexplicably (dont really think class is that deep this year)
