Open Mock Draft Thread

Stafford AND Moreno? I’d have to try and do a cartwheel.

It would be very hard for me to pass up Duke Robinson or Alex Mack. I’m assuming that for the 28th pick, the Seahawks gave up their 2nd and a later round pick, like say, their 5th rounder?

Not that I’d be disappointed with getting Knowshon Moreno. I really believe that he’s the best running back in the draft, damned his 40-yard times.

No trades for me.

I’ve been paying a lot of attention to the top 10, that I neglected the middle of the first round and the early 20’s…

Anyways, here’s my shot at it. I’m just winging it . Please feel free to tear it apart or praise it, though I think it will be more of the former:

1. Detroit – Matthew Stafford

2. St. Louis – Eugene Monroe

3. Cleveland (from Kansas City)* – Aaron Curry

4. Seattle – Jason Smith

5. Kansas City (from Cleveland) – Brian Orakpo

6. Cincinnati – Michael Oher

7. Oakland – Michael Crabtree

8. Jacksonville – B.J. Raji

9. Green Bay – Aaron Maybin

10. Buffalo (from San Francisco)** – Everette Brown

11. San Francisco (from Buffalo) – Michael Jenkins

12. Denver – Rey Maualuga

13. Washington – Andre Smith

14. New Orleans – Peria Jerry

15. Philadelphia (from Houston)*** – Chris Wells

16. San Diego – Eben Britton

17. New York Jets – Mark Sanchez

18. Chicago – Vontae Davis

19. Tampa Bay – Josh Freeman

20. Detroit – William Beatty

21. Houston (from Philly) – Clay Matthews

22. Minnesota – Alex Mack

23. New England – James Laurinaitis

24. Atlanta Falcons – Brandon Pettigrew

25. Miami – Darius Butler

26. Baltimore – Jeremy Maclin

27. Indianapolis – Darius Howard-Bey

28. Philadelphia – Duke Robinson

29. New York Giants – Percy Harvin

30. Tennesse – D.J. Moore

31. Arizona – Knowshon Moreno

32. Pittsburgh – Max Unger

• Cleveland has two 2nd round picks (#36 and #50), and I can see them wanting to trade one of those picks to move up to get Curry at #3.

• San Francisco needs a pass rusher, but so do the Bills and I like to think they are more desperate for one, even with Aaron Schobel on their team, and with Everette Brown on the board, San Francisco would have the leverage that they’d need to get more picks. Plus, Walt Harris is OOOOOOLD, and they could use Michael Jenkins across from Nate Clements, and there are good OLB’s/DE’s to be had later, and they could recoup their 4th round pick.

• I think of all of the 32 teams, Houston is the team that will want to trade down the most, and Philly is probably the best candidate to do so, with two picks in the 20’s. I figure Houston won’t settle for lower than Philly’s #21 spot. However, I think Tampa Bay would love to trade up to #15 to get Mark Sanchez, but they may stand pat and wait for Josh Freeman.

P.S. New Orleans was hard. Based on how I had the draft fall, I had no effin’ clue who they’d pick. I just went with who I thought was BPA on d-line, as they need help there. Probably a huge reach, but for want of better ideas, I had none.

P.S.S. I’m probably going to catch a lot of flack for having Mark Sanchez fall all the way down to the Jets, but they don’t have Favre anymore, so I figured they might think Sanchez is worth the risk at #17. They need WR’s but there may be some good ones later.

P.S.S.S. I have the Vikings going with Alex Mack, even though they need a receiver, but Birk is 33 years old. If they’d like to keep a great line in front of Adrian Peterson, then Mack is the way to go. If they go with WR, then Caldwell may be available to them in the third, but I think Mack is the better option than any of the WR’s available. They could possibly target Jaquin Iglesias or Brandon Gibson in the 3rd if they go with Mack.

P.S.S.S.S. I put myself in a hole with Peria Jerry going to the Saints. The Colt obviously need a DT, and he’d have been the easy pick for me, but with Marvin Harrison gone, I had them taking a WR. I know I haven’t had anyone pick Percy Harvin at this point, and I considered him, but I think Heyward-Bey fits better with Peyton Manning.

P.S.S.S.S.S. The Giants were hard, too. I seriously considered giving Brian Cushing to the Giants, but with the issues with Plaxico Burress, I gave them a WR. I think they could go either way if both were available.

But I went with Maybin because Brown’s combine wasn’t all that great, and I think that might have scared them off. Knowing that a lot of teams place a good amount of value in combine measurables, I’m trying to see it the way Green Bay might. I do acknowledge that I could be completely wrong though, and my logic may be way off base.

Personally, in watching the highlights, I think Brown is the overall better rusher and PLAYER than Maybin, and I would choose him over Maybin any day. In fact, I would not be disappointed if the Seahawks chose him at #4, but I’d rather trade down a few spots to get him.

lol Crushed, I forgot Birk was signed by the Ravens! My bad. Hard to keep track sometimes. Guess I did get lucky there. Fortunately, I remembered that he was getting old, and I figured that getting a center to groom now would be as good a time as any, so I think I made a solid pick for them.

I haven’t paid nearly as much attention to the first round as a whole as I usually do. Heres what I got:

Lions – Jason Smith
Rams – Eugene Monroe
Chiefs – Aaron Curry
Packers (From Seahawks) – Aaron Maybin
Browns – Brian Orakpo
Bengals – BJ Raji
Raiders – Rey Maualuga
Jaguars – Michael Crabtree
Seahawks – Matt Stafford
9ners – Mark Sanchez
Bills – Andre Smith
Broncos – Tyson Jackson
Redskins – Everette Brown
Saints – Brian Cushing
Texans – Percy Harvin
Chargers – Michael Oher
Falcons (From Jets) – Malcolm Jenkins
Bears – Jeremy Maclin
Buccaneers – Vontae Davis
Lions – Brandon Pettigrew
Eagles – Evander Hood
Vikings – Kenny Britt
Patriots – Eben Britton
Jets – Beanie Wells
Dolphins – Clint Sintim
Ravens – Darius Heyward-Bey
Colts – Brian Robiskie
Eagles – Max Unger
Cincinnati (From Giants) – Knowshon Moreno
Titans – Alphonso Smith
Patriots (From Cardinals) – Conor Barwin
Steelers – Alex Mack

Especially past the Jaguars.

And Stafford is available at #8, I just might seriously consider drafting him, even with the money already tied up with Garrard, and perhaps put Garrard on the trading block. Despite my misgivings about Stafford, I would feel a lot better at picking him up at #8 overall as opposed to say, #4 overall.

I’m just unsure of the impact it would have on the Jaguars cap if they traded him. Most likely negatively, but how bad ? Whether or not it’s enough to the point where it would be prohibitive, would of course be my question.

Garrard is a good quarterback, I think, but why not get a quarterback to groom for the future? I mean, Garrard is 31 years old already, and in two years or so, Stafford could be ready to step in by then.

Personally, I think that it would be more prudent on the offensive side of the ball to make sure that their O-line doesn’t get dinged up like they did last year, and to add more talent there, but it would be very hard to pass up Stafford at #8. Better yet, if the Jaguars were a team that uses the BPA formula when it comes to drafting, at #8, who’s the BPA available?

1. Detroit Lions: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
 Any pick is possible here, but I see both OL and LB as being deep in this years draft so Detroit waits. Stafford is the smart pick here.

2. St. Louis Rams: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
 If Smith isn’t here, it’s going to be Monroe. With Orlando Pace gone, St. Louis needs to address their need at left tackle. If it’s Smith, then they land the most athletic offensive lineman in the draft.

3. Kansas City Chiefs: Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest
 Curry’s just too good to pass up here and addresses a need as well. If Curry is available, he’s gone here.

4. Philadelphia Eagles (via trade with Seattle): Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
 Trade talks for Anquan Boldin break down and Philly makes a move for their playmaker here. NO worries about his foot or his speed. Crabtree is the real deal, and makes a scary duo opposite homerun threat DeSean Jackson.

5. San Francisco 49ers (via trade with Cleveland): Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
 My first surprise here. The Niners fear the Jags at #8 and take Sanchez. Niners swap picks with the Browns and give up their second round pick (Cleveland needs this extra pick badly). Is Sanchez the savior of the Niners …who knows, but he is local and certainly can’t be worse than Alex Smith.

6. Cincinnati Bengals: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia Absolute no brainer should he fall to Cinnci here. Need and value align for this pick. Most have Monroe gone before here and I believe that’s a probablility, but hey… it’s a mock draft and somebody has to go out on a limb as their WILL be some surprises.

7. Oakland Raiders Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri 
Al Davis loves speed. With Crabtree gone it’s all Maclin… all day.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars: B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
 This seems like a slam dunk pick if Crabtree and Maclin are gone, or if Jacksonville cant move up to get one of them. CB is another concern for them, but at #8 Jenkins is a reach and BJ Raji is the best fit for the remaining talent.

9. Green Bay Packers: Brian Orakpo, OLB, Texas 
 With Orakpo still on the board he becomes the PBA. Orakpo makes the move to OLB in GB’s new 3-4 scheme. If the Pack feel Everett Brown could play a 3-4 end he might be an option, but of all the top guys in this years draft, Brown has bust written all over him.

10. Cleveland Browns: Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB, Ohio State
 The second major surprise of the day here. Cleveland was "all over" him at the combine and was the most represented team on Chris’ interview list. His intangibles are too intriguing for Cleveland to pass up and comes form a program known for good NFL backs.

11. Buffalo Bills: Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State
There are no guards worthy of #11 so pass rush becomes a focus.

12. Denver Broncos: Everette Brown, OLB, Florida State
 The broncos would love for BJ Raji to be here, but Everett Brown makes an intriguing 3-4 addition and has top 10 athletic ability.

13. Washington Redskins: Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss
 Offensive tackle is one of the Redskins biggest needs and while there’s a great chance they could lean towards a beffy tackle like Alabama’s Andre Smith, but Oher seems safer.

14. New Orleans Saints: Brian Cushing, OLB, USC
OLB is the Saints biggest need and this is about where Cushing’s value begins to meet the draft order.

15. Houston Texans: Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
 Horrible draft spot for Houston as Safety and SSLB are immediate needs, but there is just nothing at #15 that makes sense in terms of value. An upgrade at DE to pair opposite Mario Williams seems the best fit, and the Texans decide not to reach for Moore.

16. San Diego Chargers: Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC
 The Chargers take the BPA in Maualuga to address their need for depth at linebacker.

17. New York Jets: Vonte Davis, CB, Illinois
 Rex Ryan is determined to upgrade the defense. QB is the biggest need but the Jets blow this pick on free-lancer Davis.

18. Chicago Bears: Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
With Frank Omiyale signed in FA, this pick is totally dependant on whether the Bears can grab a veteran WR like Holt before the draft. Jerry Angelo blows this pick.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State
 He’s raw, but the skill are there and the Bucs desperately need to think beyond McCown at QB beyond this year.

20. Detroit Lions: Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
 When your 0-16, character isn’t an issue. Detroit walks away with (2) #1 overall selections in in terms of ability with Stafford and Smith.

21. Seattle Seahawks (via Philly): Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
Is there a better possible spot to draft Jenkins? Ruskell LOVES big school names and production. Forget about his 40. Jenkins knows how to jam a WR and has playmaking ability.

22. Minnesota Vikings: Alex Mack, C, California
 Isn’t going to make Vikings fans drool, but Birk leaving is a HUGE hole to fill. Minnesota doesn’t let him fall to Pittsburgh at #32.

23. New England Patriots: Clint Sintim, OLB, Virginia
 The Pats obviously want to upgrade OLB and Sintim is the best available. Belichick will dream ways to get this at opposing QB’s.

24. Atlanta Falcons: Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
 Should be an easy pick. They wanted LJ Smith and didn’t get him. Pettigrew is a specimen.

25. Miami Dolphins: Clay Matthews, OLB, USC
 Miami upgrades their defense with a smart pick here.

26. Baltimore Ravens: Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest
After releasing Samari Rolle, the Ravens have a major need at cornerback and if Smith is still available, he would be an instant upgrade. He’s on the smaller side, but he’s a good athlete and has excellent athleticism and quickness.

27. Indianapolis Colts: Peria Jerry, DT, Ole Miss 
A total no-brainer here. They need a run stuffer and he fits Indy’s style of defense because he’s quick and explosive.

28. Seattle Seahawks (via Philly): Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
 Moreno is the do-everything back the Brian Westbrook mold. He doesn’t have tremendous speed or power, but his balance, instincts and vision are perfect in their new zone-blocking scheme.

29. New York Giants: Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
 With Burress situation up in the air, Eli gets his deep-ball/jump-ball specialist back.

30. Tennessee Titans: Darius Butler, Connecticut 
There are no glaring weaknesses here so the Titans find a replacement for Harper that they can bring along slowly.

31. Arizona Cardinals: Ron Brace, DT, Boston College
 Bryan Robinson is 34 and Brace is a mountain.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers: Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma
 Pittsburgh seems they are always in a position to take BPA’s that they don’t really need at the time and develop them into something special. Duke’s the best guard in the draft.

BONUS PICK: # 37 Seattle: William Beatty OL

the rest is a crapshooooooot, like all mock drafts

1. DET Matthew Stafford QB
2. STL Jason Smith OT
3. KC Aaron Curry LB
4. SEA Michael Crabtree WR

And even then I’m not sure for sure, KC could also go Eugene Monroe OT (Hell of a player, but injury is a concern) or Crabtree. I think they would take OT over WR though. Tough to take a LB this high is why I think they may go OT. If they’re confident in Monroe’s health, then they take him. See how second guessing gets? This is why I stop here, I can’t make up my mind, it becomes like trying to predict the stock market, except without any results for another month. Which is agonizing.

The argument is that they have other needs, and that he wouldn’t be going to the best scenario due to the fact that some think he should sit.

But why couldn’t he still sit a year in Detroit? If SEATTLE would take a QB, why on earth wouldn’t Detroit want a signal caller for the future?

The OT at 20 idea sounds much better than the OB at 20 idea if I’m Detroit.

1 Detroit Jason Smith
2 St. Louis Eugene Monroe
3 Kansas City Aaron Curry
4 Seattle Matt Stafford (Hate this pick, but if Stafford is there, Ruskell can’t resist)
5 Cleveland Michael Orakpo
6 Cincinnati Michael Crabtree
7 Oakland Andre Smith
8 Jacksonville BJ Raji
9 Green Bay Aaron Maybin
10 San Francisco Michael Oher
11 Buffalo Brian Cushing
12 Denver Tyson Jackson
13 Washington Everette Brown
14 New Orleans Vontae Davis
15 Houston Malcolm Jenkins
16 San Diego Clay Mathews
17 New York Jets Ray Maualuga
18 Chicago Bears Mark Sanchez
19 Tampa Bay Josh Freeman
20 Detroit Michael Johnson
21 Philadelphia Eben Britton
22 Minnesota Darius Heyward-Bey
23 New England James Laurinaitis
24 Atlanta Brandon Pettigrew
25 Miami Darius Butler
26 Baltimore DJ Moore
27 Indianapolis Ziggy Hood
28 Philadelphia Knowshon Moreno
29 New York Giants William Beatty
30 Tennessee Alex Mack
31 Arizona Chris Wells
32 Pittsburgh Max Unger

Waiting for the 2009 draft is taking forever so I am starting to work on a mock draft for 2010. It will be based off of the 2009 draft order:

1 Denver Broncos – Jack Elway – QB – Arizona State

Denver Broncos neglected to trade Cutler for first overall last year, but will do so this year. Jack Elway is the son of Hall of Fame QB John Elway, so it is obvious that the Broncos will do anything to nab another Elway including ritualistic virgin sacrifice in the name of Baphomet. He redshirted his freshman year so he can laugh at Rudy Carpenter destroy whatever draft value he built up throughout his collegiate career. Although Jack has yet to play a down in college, it goes without saying that he is worth the first pick in the draft. Come on, he’s a ****ing Elway. It goes without saying that he will be a god amongst men.

2 St. Louis Rams – Tim Tebow – TE/FB/WR/RB/OL/DL/LB/CB/S/K/P/LS/KR/PR/Minister – Florida

Speaking of God, here’s Tim Tebow. He missed the cutoff date to declare for the 2009 draft because he was too busy cutting off foreskins in the Philippines. He has the innate ability to play just about every position on the field. The one position he is not suited for is QB due to his long windup and shouting “This is for Jesus!” before every throw, alerting every defensive back on the field. The Rams finally get the outspoken Christian they’ve been missing since Kurt Warner.

3 Kansas City Chiefs – Bear Pascoe – TE – Fresno State

The Chiefs need to draft a TE of the future since Hall of Fame lock Tony Gonzales is in the twilight of his career. Although Bear Pascoe is a participant in the 2009 draft and he isn’t considered top 3 talent, he has the coolest name in football, and we all know names are taken into account when drafting. Look at Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus, he was deserving of first overall pick but slipped to third overall because of his ridiculous name.

4 Seattle Seahawks – Colt McCoy – QB – Texas

The Seahawks already have a good QB in Matt Hasselbeck. However, I believe they will draft for the future. Actually, no I don’t. The Seahawks will draft Colt McCoy so they can stare at Colt McCoy’s hot mom and sister in the stands. In addition to drafting based on family attractiveness, this is also a pick based on name since Colt McCoy is an incredibly American name. Colt McCoy is still good player, he was a Heisman finalist in 2008 and led his team in rushing yardage in 2008 despite being white.

5 TRADE – San Diego Chargers – Ben Roethlisberger – FB – Miami State (Ohio)

The Chargers trade up to 5th overall, taking the Cleveland Brown’s spot. AJ Smith, despite being a reprehensible douche, is a draft trade genius and managed to trade to this pick for only Wings and Beer with Eric Mangini. LaDainian Tomlinson had his lowest total yardage of rushing in his career with the loss of blocking fullback Lorenzo Neal. Ben Roethlisberger is a big bodied player at 6’5" 241 lbs and will help LT get back to his original form.

6 Cincinnati Bengals – Chris Brown – RB – Oklahoma

The two Bengals backs are Chris Perry, who is one of many Big 10 RB busts and average 2.7 YPC in 2008 and Cedric Benson who is nothing but some Bears sloppy seconds. They need a real back to appease Carson Palmer. They also need to fill some seats, so Chris Brown will do halftime shows for them. If you doubt the power of Chris Brown, just ask Rihanna how much of a mauling type back he is.

7 Oakland Raiders – Usain Bolt – Sprinter – Jamaica

It’s no secret that Al Davis loves speed, and nobody is faster than Usain Bolt. The only problem is that he Usain Bolt probably thinks he is being drafted to a soccer team so he’ll probably be running around the field kicking soccer balls through the uprights. The pick does make some sense, Bolt is the only person that can keep up with J-Roc deep bombs.

8 Jacksonville Jaguars – Rico McCoy – LB – Tennessee

Jack Del Rio has a slight case of dyslexia so when he thinks that he is actually drafting Colt McCoy, which would be a massive steal at this point since they need people to come to the stadium to stare at the hot McCoy women. Lucky for him Rico McCoy is a beast a linebacker. But if you see Rico McCoy starting as QB, don’t be too confused, Del Rio will catch on eventually.

9 Green Bay Packers – Vince Lombardi – Head Coach – Fordham

Vince Lombardi’s only mistake in life is coaching for the Redskins, which ended up claiming his life. The Packers need help at the coaching position and nobody does it better than good ol’ Vince. However, the only way to contact Vince Lombardi is through séances held by money-stealing gypsies, but we all can agree that the pros outweigh the cons.

10 San Francisco 49ers – Taylor Mays – FS- USC

Taylor Mays is a local prospect and the 49ers have a gaping need at free safety. However, Taylor Mays won’t be used as a free safety. As it turns out, Taylor Mays is half Jewish and will be used for negotiations for the 49ers to move to the Los Angeles stadium.

11 Buffalo Bills – Capone – He wouldn’t say

Capone is a Crip who moved from LA to set up a base in Mesa and hangs out by my local radio shack. He scares the living **** out of me. Marshawn Lynch is vouching for him to be drafted by the Bills with their 1st round pick and when asked why he said "don’t worry about it". His agent says he wants a $70mil/6-year contract or else some trouble might happen. Russ Brandon won’t ask questions, Ralph Wilson won’t ask questions, and Dick Jauron won’t ask questions. Quite frankly, the entire city of Buffalo is scared.

12 Denver Broncos – Jack Elway – QB – Arizona State

For precautionary reasons, the Denver Broncos will draft Jack Elway twice. They don’t want to risk anything.

13 Washington Redskins – Sam Bradford – QB – Oklahoma

As a PR move, the Washington Redskins draft Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford is an official citizen of the Cherokee nation. Native American organizations have always been on their ass about being the "Redskins", which when you think about it, is an incredibly racist name.

14 New Orleans Saints – Jermaine Gresham – TE – Oklahoma

The Saints and Shockey got screwed over so hard on the Giants – Saints trade that it herniated Shockey’s ass. The Saints need another playmaker so they have a chance to outscore however many points the porous Saints defense allow.

15 Houston Texans – Rex Quando – Trainer – Boise State

There was controversy with the Texans when a story and videos leaked of the Texans practicing in the offseason with pads and going all out, injuring players and just beating the **** out of each other. To toughen up the crybaby *****es who told the NFL on them, the Texans will draft Rex Quando to toughen up those pansies and teach some respect so they won’t tattle.

16 Cleveland Browns – LeBron James – TE – Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Browns traded away Kellen "Givin’ Ya’ll Staph" Winslow to the Buccs for a 2nd round pick, so they need a TE to fill that spot. LeBron will be playing Tight End despite being a standout Wide Receiver in high school. Insert sexual pun here. At 6’8" with long arms, it will be impossible for either Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn to overthrow him, no matter how hard they try.

More to come; courtesy this.

These are a couple of potential real world trade scenarios for trading down:

Trade possibilities include:
Detroit’s 1.20, 2.1 and 3.1 total of 1,695 points.
Philadelphia’s 1.21, 1.28 and 3.21 total of 1,625 points.
Cincinnati’s 1.6 and 3.6 with Seattle sending the 5.1 along with the 1.4, total of 1,802.5 points
Oakland’s 1.7, 3.7 and 4.26 total of 1781 points
Jacksonville’s 1.8, 2.7 and 4.7 with Seattle sending the 3.4 along with the 1.4 total of 1,740 points.
Green Bay’s 1.9 and 2.9 with Seattle sending the 5.1 along with the 1.4 total of 1,802.5 points.
San Francisco’s 1.10 and 2.11 total of 1,770 points.
Buffalo’s 1.11, 2.10 and 5.11 total of 1,762.6 points.
Denver’s 1.12, 2.16 and 3.15 with Seattle sending the 5.1 along with the 1.4 total of 1,777.5 points.

I Really Like:
Detroits Scenario:
1.20 Michael Oher OT
2.1 Evander Hood DT
2.5 Duke Robinson OG
3.4 LeSean McCoy RB
3.21 Michael Hamlin SS

I also Philly’s Scenario:
1.21 Chris Wells RB
1.28 William Beatty OT
2.05 Duke Robinson OG
3.04 Senderick Marks DT
3.21 Antoine Caldwell C

or San Fran’s Looks Good:
1.10 Andre Smith OT
2.05 Duke Robinson OG
2.11 Brian Robiske WR
3.04 Shonne Greene RB
4.05 Antoine Caldwell C

Geeez can you even imagine the future running game with Andre Smith, Duke Robinson, and Caldwell blocking for Shonne Greene? That’s not a running attack… it’s a convoy!!!

type guy, and Ruskell is probably frustrated with his 1st round picks to date. Anyone else get the sinking feeling that Curry will fall to us at 4 and we’ll draft him? It’s funny because I wanted Curry before (even when we had Peterson), but now I don’t, now I’m hoping with go QB, OT, or trade down.

1.) Matt Stafford QB
2.) Patrick Chung SS
3.) Fili Moala DT
4.) Kraig Urbik OG
5.) Brandon Gibson WR
6.) Brannan Southerland FB
7.) Bear Pascoe TE

Woke up with tears nearly welling up in my eyes due to almost thinking this actually happened. Damn.

Matt Stafford
Donald Brown
Eric Wood
Michael Hamelin

or

M.Stafford
P.Chung
R.Jennings
A.Caldwell

Lots of questionable moves.
Such as Chung going 3.01 and Hamlin going 4.10.
I’m wondering if Chung actually has a chance to fall into the last third of the 2nd round, shouldn’t we draft o-line in the 2nd (assuming we don’t draft that in the first) and then trade a 5th and a 6th or a 5th next year to move up to the 20th pick in the 2nd and get Chung? Seems ideal to me.

Just my 2c.

1 Jason Smith OT, Baylor Detroit
2 Aaron Curry OLB, Wake Forest St. Louis
3 Eugene Monroe OT, Virginia Kansas City
4 Mark Sanchez QB, USC Seattle
5 Brian Orakpo DE, Texas Cleveland
6 B.J. Raji DT, BC Cincinnati
7 Michael Crabtree WR, Texas Tech Oakland
8 Jeremy Maclin WR, Missouri Jacksonville
9 Michael Oher OT, Mississippi Green Bay
10 Matthew Stafford QB, Georgia San Francisco
11 Aaron Maybin DE, Penn State Buffalo
12 Malcolm Jenkins CB, Ohio State Denver
13 Andre Smith OT, Alabama Washington
14 Rey Maualuga ILB, USC New Orleans
15 Darius Butler CB, Connecticut Houston
16 Tyson Jackson DE, LSU San Diego
17 Josh Freeman QB, Kansas State NY Jets
18 Brian Cushing OLB, USC Denver
19 Clay Matthews OLB, USC Tampa Bay
20 James Laurinaitis ILB, Ohio State Detroit

28 Eben Britton OT, Arizona Philadelphia
29 Chris Wells RB, Ohio State NY Giants
30 Darrius Heyward-Bey WR, Maryland Tennessee
31 Clint Sintim OLB, Virginia Arizona
32 Alex Mack C, California Pittsburgh

Why on earth the Hawks would have the number 4 overall pick, NOT take the BPA, NOT take a player who’ll make an immediate impact and pay a brazillion dollars to a quarterback prospect who’ll sit and sit and sit and sit and even if Hass goes down, probably wouldnt dislodge Seneca anyway? If either of these guys were the second coming of Manning (not Eli) then maybe, but from what read neither of these guys is a likely superstar, just probably good.
If by some miracle Sanchez/Stafford does go #4, expect a trade soon after.
There are holes in a few places but one place there is not a hole is the clipboard carrier.
Expect the pick to be Orakpo, Crabtree or Curry.

if Hamlin is available, barring a huge drop by someone, what are the chances we don’t take him? Is it Hamlin vs. the field neck and neck right now?

DETROIT LIONS: Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
Matt Millen may be gone, but his spirit lives on in Motor City.

ST. LOUIS RAMS: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
After drafting Chris Long, Adam Carriker, and Brian Leonard early in the past two drafts, it’s obvious that the Rams front office is going by the BWPA (Best White Player Available) philosophy. Expect more of the same this year.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: Connor Barwin, DE/OLB, Cincinnati
All NFL scouts are raving about Barwin’s potential, and compare him to a younger version of Mike Vrabel. Scott Pioli has Mike Vrabel, is familiar with Mike Vrabel, and can now have two Mike Vrabels. Mike Vrabel.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: Louis Vasquez, OG, Texas Tech
Wisely looking towards the future, Seattle drafts the strongest player at the combine, so he can carry Matt Hasselbeck’s frail, crumpled body off the field after every offensive series.

CLEVELAND BROWNS: Nate Davis, QB, Ball State
Nate Davis’ learning disability should hopefully spark Brady Quinn or Derek Anderson, who should realize, after watching Nate Davis struggle to pronounce words with three or more syllables, that they don’t have it as bad as other quarterbacks.

CINCINNATI BENGALS: Sammie Stroughter, WR, Oregon State
It worked when they drafted Chad Ochocinco, and it worked when they drafted TJ Hoosyermama. Can lightning strike three times for Oregon State receivers drafted by Cincinnati?

OAKLAND RAIDERS: Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
Oakland hopes that a 4-headed rushing attack can compensate for the complete lack of talent strewn throughout the rest of the roster.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Ramses Barden, WR, Cal-Poly SLO
Barden has extensive experience playing for a team that nobody pays attention to or cares about, so he’ll be a perfect fit in Jacksonville.

GREEN BAY PACKERS: Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan
Ted Thompson’s secret fetish for defensive backs who sport dreadlocks will compel him to make this pick, due to significant lack of dreadlocks in the later rounds.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
The 49ers feel like they have to make this pick just so Sanchez will shut the **** up about his Sprint endorsements.

BUFFALO BILLS: Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State
The Bills always seem to choke at the end of the season when it counts most, so they’ll draft a player who will fit perfectly into that mold. “Beanie” played for an Ohio State team that blew two National Championships.

DENVER BRONCOS: Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
Inexperienced head coach Josh McDaniels claims “we had dibs on him first”, which leads to a lengthy and bitter custody battle in court, where eventually the 49ers and Broncos agree to swap Mark every other weekend.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS: Asher Allen, CB, Georgia
The Redskins didn’t expect to even have draft picks at this point, and their draft board is still arranged in alphabetical order.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
The Saints hope that finally, their dreams of achieving the perfect offense will be realized in order to compensate for the points their defense will be giving up. Expect a full year of 60-50 shootouts, which will make Roger Goodell cream his pants because of all the revenue he’ll make.

HOUSTON TEXANS: Chase Daniel, QB, Missouri
With Sage Rosenfels over in Minnesota, the Texans need a new backup quarterback who has an inexplicable and frustrating tendency to lose big games and turn the ball over in the final minutes.

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS: Jorvorskie Lane, RB/FB, Texas A&M
San Diego, with LT retiring, needs a new back to complement the shifty Darren Sproles. With 5’6 Sproles and 300 pound Jorvorskie Lane, the Chargers will finally claim the "Smash and Dash" title for a running back duo. Too bad Lane sucks though.

NEW YORK JETS: Pat White, QB, West Virginia
So here’s the situation. All draft experts seem to agree on one thing. The Jets need a quarterback, and they need a number one receiver to play on the other side of Jerrico Cotchery. Pat White is BOTH of those things AT THE SAME TIME.

DENVER BRONCOS: Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State
The Broncos now have a quarterback to play on the weekends they don’t have Mark Sanchez.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: Graham Harrell, QB, Texas Tech
An avid Dragonball Z fan growing up, 16 year old head coach Raheem Morris believes he can teach his quarterbacks to fuse all of their skills into one uber-QB that the league won’t be able to stop. The arm strength of Brian Greise. The accuracy of Graham Harrell. The speed of Josh Johnson. The toughness and grit of Byron Leftwich. UNSTOPPABLE.

DETROIT LIONS: Jose Martinez, K, UTEP
The Lions are practically salivating at this pick to draft Jason “Golden Foot” Hanson’s eventual replacement after he turns 60. With the field position they’ll be getting from Kevin Huber whom they eventually draft with the first pick of the second round, they hope that Martinez will be able to kick more 60 yard field goals like he did in college so they can actually score points.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: Phil Loadholt, OT, Oklahoma
"He’s really big so he must be really good derp derp derp" says Andy Reid upon making this pick. Eagles fans begin throwing themselves from the balcony of the Radio City Music Hall.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS: BJ Raji, NT, Boston College
The Vikings take the player on the board who is least likely to contribute at the quarterback or wide receiver position, just like they do every year. The number of broken bodies on the ground floor at the Radio City Music Hall begins to mount.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: Brian Cushing, LB, USC
Cushing, an obvious steroid user, has somehow eluded punishment despite his completely apparent methods of cheating. Sound familiar? This is the perfect pick for the Patriots.

ATLANTA FALCONS: Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
Wait a second, this pick actually makes sense. That’s not funny at all. Please ignore this section and continue reading.

MIAMI DOLPHINS: Quan Cosby, WR, Texas
After drafting 30 year old John Beck, the Dolphins will give him a target to throw to in Quan Cosby, who is at least four years older than every receiver in the draft class. It’s sort of like that movie The Program, which showed us that 40 year olds can still compete with college talent. Definitely realistic.

BALTIMORE RAVENS: Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC
Ray and Rey in the middle. Two ferocious hitters. Two team captains. Both on the field at once. The marketing practically writes itself.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: Mike Teel, QB, Rutgers
It’s time to start thinking about a future after Peyton Manning. The Colts hope that Teel’s enormous forehead and disgusting, horse-like face will make him a good quarterback like Peyton.

BUFFALO BILLS: Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State
"What, did you not hear us the first time?" An enraged Bills front office asks. Luckily Chris Wells lasted another 17 picks, or they would have felt really stupid.

NEW YORK GIANTS: Austin Collie, WR, BYU
The Giants need a wide receiver to replace Plaxico Burress, but they don’t want one that will cause any trouble or shoot themselves in a nightclub. With that in mind, they take the best white receiver on the board.

TENNESSEE TITANS: PJ Hill, RB, Wisconsin
Now the Titans have a fancy name for their new three-headed rushing attack: Smash, Dash, and Trash.

ARIZONA CARDINALS: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
All they need is one more elite receiver to win the Super Bowl, right?

PITTSBURGH STEELERS: Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
Hines Ward still Wines Hard about the franchise QB’s infatuation with targets that can actually catch the ball, so now Pittsburgh gives Fred Flintstone another tool to shape up a passing game with.

I don’t know how reliable this report is, especially given that it’s coming out the day before the draft, but I’ll post it anyway:

Vaughn visited Buffalo a few weeks back. The Bills are one of 4-5 teams that have shown "considerable interest" in him, according to a league source. The source also said that the Seattle Seahawks will draft Vaughn if he slips to them in the third round, adding that several teams are attempting to trade up to get him.
