Rock out with your mock draft out: Rob Staton

The main reason behind doing the mock draft spotlight is to showcase draft sites and writers that I enjoy. One of my absolute favorite draft people is Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog. He as thoughtful and intelligent as anyone around.

Among other things, he was far ahead of the curve on Wisconsin center Peter Konz and Southern California quarterback Matt Barkley. Both are those players are featured in his latest mock draft.

Barkley is mocked fifth overall to the Washington Redskins and Konz is sent to the New England Patriots at No. 24. Both are sensible.

Besides being a Seahawks Draft Blog fanboy, I wanted to point out this mock because it actually takes some chances. Most mocks right now are pretty vanilla with the same players being slotted in the same areas.

With his mock, Staton makes some bold projections on players like North Carolina wide receiver Dwight Jones and linebacker Kevin Reddick. He even works in current hot draft prospect Oday Aboushi, the left tackle from Virginia.

So check out his mock here and holler at Rob in the comments on his site. We may try to put out a mock here this week or next week.

This player should be a plug-and-play replacement for Mekhi Becton right off the bat.

This guy’s got talent, plus playing with Patrick Mahomes automatically elevates his potential.

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.

It’s a high-potential pick for a Detroit defense that needs a solid pass rusher.
