Good stuff Rich. Not a Martin fan either but you might be more on base than many. Well thought out.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.

I think Jones had 4.5 sacks in seven games, not nearly as impressive of a pace, especially when one considers that he played one of the weakest BCS conferences in America (Big East). Mercilus did his damage playing in the Big Ten, which was arguably the next best defensive conference in college football behind the SEC. It is important to note that Mercilus forced nine fumbles/turnovers last year, a stat that Lovie Smith and Rod Marinelli are surely salivating over.
I'm with you bud, I think Mercilus > Jones
I think I'd be happy to just take Emery's word on it, especially if our pick was one of:
Reiff
Brockers
Kuechley
De castro
Floyd
Mercilus
Coples
one of them is going to fall to us I reckon.

I think thats why I didnt knock the ball out the park on the ifrst two rounds. from there onwards we were drafting in the evning US time (morning here) so i coudl keep an eye on it at work and I agree, I think Wolfe in 4 and Judie in 5 are big time steals.
Its great fun though. maybe next year we could do something similar on here if there was the interest.
check out their forum if you are interested in how it was run. they're mainly Jets fans but generally ok

You never know! Those could be the very seven guys that Emery is targeting in the first round of the draft.

if those are the seven and we nab one of them, im all aboard! each an exciting prospect in a different way! I think we have to be unlucky to see them ALL taken before we pick

Just to chime in.....
I would have taken any of the next 8 picks AFTER you picked over Martin. More specifically I would have taken Dre Kirkpatrick.

Think there should be a new rule for first year GMs Mocks called the "Rookie Rule". You represent a team with a first year GM right? So you get to declare who you want at #19 and no one else can take that guy! In Latin it's "Primum Electio" or first choice. So tell all those other wankers your invoking "Primum Electio" and stop all this nonsense.
They may not agree but at least they'll be impressed with your ingenuity and command of Latin.
