In light of our mock draft, I found [this video](http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth) to be interesting. It’s a “reenactment” where the Booyahs pretend to be in the Vikings war room and it depicts what happens while teams are on the clock. Oddly enough in their re-creation, like in our mock, the Bucs trade up with the Vikings to get ahead of the Browns and grab (I suppose) Trent Richardson. The price was a bit different, but it was interesting seeing how those war rooms work. ---

Anyone take a stab. Gotta pound these out to hit the end of the round. I would, but hard to research on my phone. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Anyone take a stab. Gotta pound these out to hit the end of the round. I would, but hard to research on my phone. 1. Tennessee Titans Vinny Curry, DE, Marshall BPA and at a position of need. After getting Samuel in a trade and Reuben Randle in the second (and a first next year), they can focus on that defense. ---

Oak had the saints next too. No big deal I guess. Just figured with 7 picks left we could get through 3. ---

Olivier Vernon, Miami for Tennessee, maybe? Looks like I had the same idea as Hamlet, but for some reason I thought Currey had been taken. ---

I was thinking Ben Jones out of Georgia, a center who could also play guard. ---

\*\*84. \*\*Atlanta Falcons \*\*Brandon Thompson, DT, Clemson \*\* I can’t believe he’s still available, I have him listed as early second round. He can set the line of scrimmage and draw double teams. I don’t even know if Atlanta runs a 4-3 or a 3-4, but I think Thompson can play both. ---

I was thinking the TE from Georgia for the Falcons, but this makes a lot of sense too.. 1. Detroit Lions Nick Toon ,WR, Wisconsin Lions need WR depth for their pass heavy offense. ---

Pittsburgh Jamell Fleming, CB Oklahoma Last of their big needs filled, although could still use more OL and need a WR to develop. And a RB. Really, Pittsburgh has a lot of needs. ---

1. Denver Broncos Brock Osweiler QB, Arizona State Seems like just a couple years ago the Broncos took a QB in the first round, doesn’t it? Whatever happened to that guy? Oh well. John Elway gets the QB _he_ wants to groom for the future. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-2012-nfl-mock-draft/619337.md?page=14)
