My mockery of a mock VOL. 4

Please read.

 

I have alot of underclassmen included. Not all with enter the draft so some players I have going lower could go higher. I also take into account the team's pending free agents, once again i'm aware not all with sign with new teams. If I mention player X is going to be a free agent and you know that they have signed an extension then by all means let me know.

 

Feel free to criticize however remember you're stupid if you do!

Star-divide

 

1.        Rams                QB            Jimmy Clausen               Notre Dame***

The team needs to get that "franchise" QB. With the injury to Bradford as well as his great season so far Clausen will be in the discussion for the #1 pick. The only question is which one do the Rams like more Clausen or Locker?

2.        Buccaneers      S               Eric Berry                          Tennessee***

What they really need is a DE but none are worthy of this high of pick (as of now), they could go Okung to help the OL but Berry is too talented to pass up.

3.        Titans                DT             Ndamukong Suh             Nebraska

I feel like a broken record. They miss Haynesworth alot!  They could go QB here as well.

4.        Browns             QB             Jake Locker                      Washington***

Anderson isn't the answer and I doubt they give Quinn another chance so they go QB.

5.        Chiefs               T                Russell Okung                Oklahoma St.

I was considering giving them Bryant again but with how deep the WR class COULD be (not all will declare) they address the OL first. With Okung they could move Albert inside.

6.        Lions                 DT             Gerald McCoy                  Oklahoma***

With Okung off the board it has to be McCoy.

7.        Raiders            DE              Carlos Dunlap                Florida***

We're talking about Al Davis here the only one that has a clue is.... well no one there has a clue.

8.        Redskins         T                 Bryan Bulaga                   Iowa***

My guess is Zorn is going to be fired so a new coach might want a QB here. With Samuels injury that line is pretty weak what good is drafting Bradford if he has no line to keep him standing?

9.        49ers (CAR)    CB              Joe Haden                       Florida***

They could go a number of ways here. I gave them Haden to team with Clements.

10.      Dolphins          NT              Terrance Cody                Alabama

In my opinion Cody does not need to be taken this high but Parcells 98% of the time goes defense in round 1.

11.      Seahawks       QB              Sam Bradford                  Oklahoma***

If Bulaga falls here I think he could be the pick. Without Bradfords injury he could have gone #1, Seattle just got a steal.

12.      Bills                   LB              Travis Lewis                     Oklahoma***

Could go OL, DT, WR, QB , hell they need alot and that's an understatement. I could see Lewis rising up draft boards if he declares.

13.      Jaguars           S                 Taylor Mays                       USC

I'm aware of the Tebow talk but to me it's not a sound football decision.

14.      Broncos (CHI)  LB             Rolando McClain             Alabama***

As a Bears fan I rather have this pick than Jay Cutler, but hey what can you do? Broncos don't have many needs so I gave them McClain who already plays in a 34 D.

15.      49ers                T                 Trent Williams                  Oklahoma

They might go QB here but I think Williams is the guy.

16.      Chargers         WR             Dez Bryant                         Oklahoma St.***

Damn near every WR on their roster is a FA at the end of the year. Question is does he fall this far?

17.      Ravens            WR             Damian Williams             USC***

Same as the Chargers.

18.      Texans             LB              Brandon Spikes               Florida

Dunta Robinson AND Demeco Ryans are free agents which one gets the money?

19.      Falcons           DE              Derrick Morgan                Georgia Tech***

I was tempted to give them Jahvid Best with Norwood and Snelling being FA's. They played Anderson inside Morgan would fit nicely outside.

20.      Cowboys         DE             Arthur Jones                     Syracuse

Could go OL or WR but Jones is the guy.

21.      Eagles             LB              Sergio Kindle                   Texas

I was thinking Weatherspoon here but with how the Eagles like to blitz Kindle might be the better fit.

22.      Jets                  WR            Arrelious Benn                  Illinois***

Edwards is a FA and drops passes. Benn will be Sanchize go to guy.

23.      Packers           T                Charles Brown                  USC

If Kindle falls here I think they could take him, but with him gone they go OL.

24.      Steelers           S                Morgan Burnett                 Georgia Tech***

Team him up with Troy.

25.      Cardinals        LB               Von Miller                           Texas A&M***

Gives them a nice rush LB.

26.      Bengals           DT             Marvin Austin                    North Carolina***

Marvin Austin could be a high riser when it comes workout/combine time.

27.      Giants              C               Kris O'Dowd                      USC***

Do they need anything? Depth I suppose.

28.      Patriots            LB              Eric Norwood                    South Carolina

They need to add some depth to the D.

29.      Vikings            QB             Ryan Mallett                        Arkansas***

If he declares he could be the heir apparent to Favre.

30.      Seahawks(DEN)   T         Bruce Campbell                Maryland***

Since they went QB with #11 they need to go OL to keep him healthy.

31.      Colts                LB              Greg Jones                        Michigan St.***

Jones doesn't have the greatest size but he can play. Has played MLB in college but most likely OLB in NFL.

32.      Saints              RB             Jonathan Dwyer                Georgia Tech***

They flirted with the idea of trading up last year for Beanie Wells. They get their power back this year.

 

 

33.      Buccaneers    DE            Everson Griffen                  USC***

They need a pass rusher and if he is available they snag him up quickly.

34.      Rams               LB            Sean Weatherspoon        Missouri

Could be a steal.

35.      Patriots (TEN)  G             Mike Pouncey                     Florida***

Madkins and Neal are FAs.

36.      Chiefs               WR          Brandon LaFell                  LSU

Todd Haley wants toys.

37.      Browns             RB           Jahvid Best                         California***

They got lightning who's going to be thunder?

38.      Lions                 G              Mike Johnson                    Alabama

They have some pending free agents at the guard position.

39.      Redskins          QB           Colt McCoy                         Texas

If they don't go QB in round 1 they will here.

40.      Raiders             LB            Michael Morgan                 USC***

They have three OLBs that are free agents but with Al who knows.

41.      Dolphins           WR          Golden Tate                       Notre Dame***

With Tate they could move Ginn to the slot.

42.      Seahawks        DT             Brian Price                         UCLA***

He could go higher. He would be a nice addition to the DLine.

43.      Panthers           QB            Jevan Snead                     Ole Miss***

Delhome= Garbage, Backups= Free Agents. I don't think you want Snead starting right away so Delhomme might stick around.

44.      Bills                    TE             Jermaine Gresham         Oklahoma

Gives them a TE threat that they haven't had since..... hell I don't remember.

45.      Buccaneers (CHI)  T         Selvish Capers                West Virginia

They need the Line help.

46.      49ers                  WR           Dezmon Briscoe              Kansas***

Another weapon for whoever is QBing.

47.      Chargers           T               Anthony Davis                  Rutgers***

Could go higher but they have FAs on the line as well.

48.      Ravens              CB           Ras-I Dowling                   Virginia***

I think they could use another corner. He could play some safety as well.

49.      Patriots (JAX)    C              Maurkice Pouncey            Florida***

They got the Pouncey twins.

50.      Texans               S              Major Wright                       Florida***

They could go corner here and with Walter being a FA they could WR as well. Wright is too talented to fall any further.

51.      Cowboys           T               Ciron Black                        LSU

Flozell loves tripping the only thing is thats a penalty.

52.      Chiefs (ATL)       CB           Patrick Robinson           Florida St.

1st round talent falls to the Chiefs.

53.       Eagles               DE          Brandon Graham              Michigan

Could go higher depending on who comes out.

54.       Jets                    DE          Cory Wooton                      Northwestern

If he bulks up a little he can play DE.

55.       Packers             LB           Jerry Hughes                     TCU

They didn't get a pass rusher in round 1 so they will now.

56.       Steelers            CB           Donovan Warren              Michigan***

Replacement for Deshea Townsend.

57.       Cardinals         T               Nate Solder                       Colorado***

Help keep old man Warner alive.

58.       Bengals            S              Chad Jones                       LSU***

Don't know if he falls this far or if he even comes out but the Bengals could use him.

59.       Giants                S             Deunta Williams               North Carolina***

Safety depth.

60.       Patriots             DE           Vince Oghobaase             Duke

After helping the OL they go back to D.

61.       Vikings               DT           Lawrence Marsh              Florida***

Replacement for Pat Williams.

62.       Broncos            RB           CJ Spiller                           Clemson

New England could never have enough RB's and I think Denver could be the same way.

63.       Colts                 T               Gabe Carimini                   Wisconsin***

Could go higher.

64.       Saints               DE            Greg Hardy                       Ole Miss

Could go much much higher or could really fall.

 

 

65.       Rams              S                Reshad Jones                Georgia***

Could go higher depending on who comes out. The safety class could potentially be great.

66.       Buccaneers   WR            Demaryius Thomas        Georgia Tech***

Bryant is a free agent and Thomas will be a nice target for young Freeman.

67.       Titans              DE             Cameron Heyward         Ohio St.***

They have some free agents at DE. Heyward and Suh could be a great duo.

68.       Browns           LB              Micah Johnson                Kentucky

Jackson is a FA so this could potentially be a huge hole.

69.       Chiefs              LB             Ricky Sapp                       Clemson

Value pick here. Gives them a pass rusher.

70.       Lions               CB             Javier Arenas                Alabama

Just keep adding talent.

71.       Raiders          CB              Kareem Jackson           Alabama***

They need help EVERYWHERE.

72.       Redskins       DE             JEREMY JARMON          KENTUCKY

They used this selection during the supplemental draft.

73.       Panthers        TE              Aaron Hernandez             Florida***

Adds another receiving threat for whoever is throwing interceptions there.

74.       Dolphins        LB              George Selvie                   South Florida

Could go higher but at this point the Dolphins would love to have him.

75.       Eagles (SEA)  TE             Rob Gronkowski              Arizona***

They took Jack Ikegwanu when he was hurt and Cornelius Ingram when he was hurt so why not Gronkowski.

76.       Bills                 WR             Danario Alexander           Missouri

A big WR to replace TO. Gives QB nice duo to work with Gresham and Alexander.

77.       Jaguars          QB              Tim Tebow                        Florida

Here's the deal I don't know if he can play QB in the NFL. Do you? He could go higher after all Pat White went in round 2 last year I just don't know who would take him.

78.       Bears              T                 Tony Washington             Abilene Christian

They have had good luck with players from Abilene Christian I could see them doing it again. They want to improve the OLine (or so they say).

79.       49ers               QB             Tony Pike                           Cincinnati

He could battle Smith and Hill for the job.

80.       Chargers         DT             Phil Taylor                          Baylor***

Could replace Jamal Williams in the future.

81.        Ravens            T               Adam Ulatoski                   Texas

They have some free agents at T.

82.        Texans           CB             Trevard Lindley                  Kentucky

In case Dunta leaves.

83.         Falcons          RB            Joe McKnight                     USC***

If Norwood signs else where McKnight would be a nice complement to Turner.

84.        Cowboys         WR           Mardy Gilyard                    Cincinnati

They might go Decker if they want a bigger WR.

85.       Eagles             DT             Jared Odrick                      Penn St.

Just adds depth. He could go higher.

86.       Browns (NYJ)   T              Sam Young                        Notre Dame

They need someone to play RT.

87.       Packers            RB            Evan Royster                     Penn St.***

Never know what you're going to get out of their RBs.

88.       Steelers            G              Mike Iupati                          Idaho

Some say he's a 1st rounder. I don't see it.

89.       Cardinals          G             Rodney Hudson               Florida St.***

Could go higher but here he is a steal.

90.      Bengals            TE             Anthony McCoy                USC

They have FAs and injuries to the TE position. McCoy wold be a nice weapon to add to the arsenal.

91.      Giants              LB              Navorro Bowman            Penn St.***

Could go alot higher but character flaws could drop him as well.

92.      Raiders (NEP)  T               Kyle Calloway                    Iowa

Like I've said before you try guessing what Al Davis will do.

93.      Vikings              RB             DeMarco Murray              Oklahoma***

Chester Taylor is a free agent so they might need to replace him.

94.      Broncos            G               Jon Asamoah                   Illinois

They have some free agents at G.

95.      Colts                  DE            Thaddeus Gibson            Ohio St.***

If he declares he could go higher. Here he is a steal.

96.      Saints                CB             Alterraun Verner              UCLA 

BPA.

Well I love the whole Tebow in the 3rd round thing for the Jaguars

And I really like the Jaguars taking a safety in the first round. Just not Mays. I’d honestly rather have Morgan Burnett. I understand the pick though, great mock.

by SoCalStites on Oct 27, 2009 4:03 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

In all honesty the Jaguars will continue to be the hardest team to pick for due to the Tebow talk as well as the not knowing what defense they will commit to.

I concur if the Jaguars could get Tebow in the 3rd that would be so acceptable

I also agree with the selection proposed by SoCal, that we take Burnett at the 13th spot or drafting down and then selecting him.

I'd be happy with those first two rounds for the Cards

I’d prefer they take a inside backer in the third but 2 out of three is pretty good.

Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I thought Rodney Hudson was too good to pass up in round 3.

Only problem is

Move Cody down a bit…I see him going in the mid 1st.

by Montell on Oct 27, 2009 4:10 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Did you read my comments?

I stated that I don’t think he should go that high. Bill Parcells does go defense most of the time (I know about Jake Long) with drafting two corners high last year and no pass rusher worthy of that pick it comes down to does he go offense (Dez Bryant)? or Terrance Cody? The lack of NT will definately make his stock go up.

The Saints have Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell. Reggie Bush is alright too. They passed on Beanie for a reason

by TheRealSlimShady on Oct 27, 2009 5:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

They tried trading back up in round 1 to get him and reportedly teams were asking too much. Both Pierre Thomas and Mike Bell are free agents. As I stated in the beginning and I quote

“I also take into account the team’s pending free agents, once again i’m aware not all with sign with new teams”

If Bradford is available as you show it I would not be surprised to see someone trade up.

I would love to see the Lions trade out of #6 as Berry, Okung, and Suh are all gone. I like Gerald McCoy but it would be hard to turn down multiple picks for the one. I think a few teams like Washington, San Fran, Seattle, or Buffalo might be willing to part with a few picks to get Bradford.

by NorthLeft12 on Oct 27, 2009 7:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

It’s hard to do a mock draft when it’s only week 8 in no way am I going to predict trades.

Draft guru in training.

by tj.hendricks on Oct 27, 2009 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes, you are right. I just have a hard time believing that Bradford will fall that far.

He was being talked up in 2009 as the #1 rated QB if he had declared. As a Lions fan I am happy he stayed put. I think Stafford will be a very good pro. Very happy with his progress.

by NorthLeft12 on Oct 27, 2009 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

He might not

Maybe a team like the Browns like Bradford more. Look at Sanchez last year he was talked about going mid to low round 1 until the workouts and interviews started then he was going up up up and can see the same for Bradford. It all depends on what team falls in love with him.

I dunno

I agree NO may look for a RB but I dunno about adding one in round 1.

I think they would add a FA ( LenDale White?) and maybe a late round RB

by Montell on Oct 27, 2009 7:55 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Why not round 1 if they were thinking of doing it last year?

I’m not going have the Saints pass on Dwyer because they could go after LenDale White.

You go ahead and guess what free agents will sign where but I am not doing that.

because Mike Bell

has been beasting for them. He is a legit power back. Also, Pierre Thomas (who he usurped in the lineup) is another very good back. They don’t need to draft a running back high if they keep one of those two through free agency

by birds'n'raiders on Oct 27, 2009 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

They had both on the roster last year

and still considered Wells.

LOVE the first 2 Eagles picks

but there is no way Andy would pass on Trevard Lindley in the 3rd round for an injured TE. Also, if you change that pick, we have virtually 0 need at DT (Bunkley, Patterson, Laws, Antonio Dixon). If we don’t take Gronkowski with the first of the 3rd round picks, Anthony McCoy would be great there!

by birds'n'raiders on Oct 27, 2009 9:55 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I'll keep that in mind

I was just thinking the Eagles have a history of taking injured players (Ikegwu and Ingram) so if Gronkowski was to fall there (if he declares) he would be a steal.

With the Odrick pick I felt the value was too good to pass up.

I’ll keep that in mind though. Thanks.

a couple notes...

while i understand you have your own opinions, I just want to note a few things that seem really out there.

Joe Haden is not a top 10 pick. Top 15…maybe

Bruce Campbell is the 3rd best OT in the draft. He should be gone by pick 15.

Tampa Bays does not need O-line help, they have one of the best young O-lines in the game.

You have G Mike Johnson going to the Lions with Ciron Black and Selvish Capers on the board. Black, IMO, is the hands down best GUARD (ya i said it) prospect in the draft. He reminds me of a less athletic Shawn Andrews. Capers is more of a 3rd/4th round Tackle Prospect, but Mike Johnson shouldn’t be mentioned until the 3rd round.

If Jevan Snead declares, he will go 6th or 7th round.

Colt McCoy shouldn’t be drafted.

Lindley belongs in the first 50 picks.

Ravens do not need a tackle that high. Gaither is a RESTRICTED free agent

Spiller to the bottom of the 2nd round??

by birds'n'raiders on Oct 27, 2009 10:56 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Just like Derius Heyward Bey wasn’t a top 10 pick? Tyson Jackson? Denver drafting a RB?Having two centers get drafted in round 1? Laurinitis and Mauluga dropping to round 2? Kevin O’Connell being drafted by the Patriots in 3rd round (2008)?

Point being crap happens.

Haden true he may not be a top 10 pick but he is the best corner in the draft and there is a drop off after him (not a great deal but still). They are in a position to “reach” no matter where they go if they go OL Trent Williams is a reach if they go NT Cody is a reach, etc…

You have Bruce Campbell as the 3rd OT that’s fine, I don’t. He has the talent to be the first OL taken even over Okung but a history of injuries although mostly minor could still hurt him.

Donald Penn and Jeremy Trueblood are free agents at the end of the year so I gave them a tackle.

Selvish Capers and Ciron Black are Tackles and I did give the Lions a G in Mike Johnson.
Who knows Black may be the best G but he doesn’t play it. Johnson is arguably the best G in the draft and could be taken highly. Capers will go higher than 3/4.

Snead has alot of tools that won’t let him fall that far. 2nd round might MIGHT be a reach but I don’t feel he drops drastically.

Colt McCoy will be drafted. Why would you even say he shouldn’t?

Lindley could be and probably will be a top 50 pick, I have three underclassmen ahead of him so if they don’t declare then yeah he moves up.

Gaither is indeed a RESTRICTED free agent. Which in a year where this no salary cap could be as good as gone if a team say the Cowboys throw alot of money his way would the Ravens match? Maybe, maybe not? Who knows. It should be interesting with an uncapped year.

Spiller is a personal favorite of mine I have loved watching him play the last four years. Yes he could go higher and he probably will. While doing this mock I just found better fits for teams other than Spiller. I was wrestling with the idea of him going #42 to Seattle but gave them Brian Price instead.

I'm Having a De Ja Vu moment

But I really like the Mays pick. I swear I’ve written this somewhere before.

It came down to Mays or either McClain or Spikes.

Stay with the 3-4, I’d take Spikes as well. In the 4-3, Spikes would be hard pressed to get on the field.

I think you got it about right

Our coaches like OT Doug Free, but he is not battle tested so we are likely to draft competition, probably in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Also Marcus Spears is in his contract year and I think another team is going to offer him a bigger contract than we are likely to match so DE in the first round sounds about right.

by quincyyyyy on Oct 28, 2009 12:01 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Parcells is also a size queen

which is another reason why he might reach for Cody

A couple of comments on your mock.

I don’t see the Lions thinking that a Guard is the best value at # 38. There are plenty of Free Agent Guards available every year. Looking at your mock Dowling -CB, Davis – OT, one of the many Safeties, or Price – DT might be better value here.
I love Arenas in round #3. Fantastic value no matter what the Lions do earlier.

I know there is a lot of buzz regarding Campbell at LT, but I would be very nervous drafting a lineman who can’t stay healthy in college. Durability is something that you have to have on your O line. Especially at the LT. I think where you have him going is a very reasonable spot. He could end up being a steal, but there is a fair amount of risk in my opinion.

I agree the Lions could go a number of ways. Johnson is arguably the best G in the draft and I could see them taking him. Guards and centers are the hardest to predict where to go IMO. They got to go somewhere yet no one wants there team to draft one.

Totally agree on Campbell that is why I can’t have him top 15 like alot of other mocks do that I have seen.

Bills

Don’t need a TE- already have Shawn Nelson.

I don’t see them using their 1st rounder on a LB. QB, OT, DT are needs.

I liked Nelson coming out last year but he isn’t Gresham and to get him at #44 would be a huge steal considering he was a top 10 pick last year.

According to my draft scenario the best players at the positions you want is Ryan Mallett, Trent Williams, Marvin Austin. I just can’t see them going that high yet. I really do believe that if Travis Lewis comes out he will skyrocket up the draft board.

The Bills have way too many needs

to grab another TE.

Nelson is damn good too. Gresham has bust potential too cuz of the injury and the whole product of OU’s offense type thing.

Better suited going somewhere else.

What player doesn’t have bust potential?

none of them...

yet…guys who are injured and guys who come from prolific COLLEGE offenses..more than others.

Especially guys who have BOTH of those traits.

Agree- those players would be good fits with the team.

by Der Jaeger on Oct 29, 2009 9:05 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

what players?

Mallett, Williams, and Austin? I think that is too high for them.

If Ponder declares

I say the Jags pick him up. They definitely wont go safety first pick. They need a rushing OLB for the 3-4 and some big men for their O line.

by Slvrgun on Oct 29, 2009 9:21 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

What round?

I don’t think Ponder is a mid 1st rounder. Yet. Why won’t the Jags go safety in round 1? Jags took two T’s last year so you mean guards and center when you say big men?

Ponder is a Matt Ryan type.

He is ready to start at QB in the NFL day one. He makes all the throws, has great arm strength and is incredibly smart.

They won’t go safety because they already have two decent ones. Nelson would play better with a pass rush. Alexander looks pretty good at SS. The Jags need to redo their entire front seven. The LBers are crucial in a 3-4 and right now they are not good enough to generate the pass rush necessary in that scheme.

Plus Ponder is BAP at where the Jags would potentially pick. I think he is the steal of the draft.

by Slvrgun on Oct 30, 2009 11:12 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

uh....

no.

Ponder in no way is Matt Ice.

Ponder is moving up draft charts…yea, but that was cuz he was a 6th rounder before this.

He may be a 2nd rounder, possible a late 1st rounder depending on who comes out.

He comes from a good program, good height and all that other good QB stuff…but no way is he a Matt Ryan type and ready to start from day one. That’s a joke right?

I disagree with my Jaguar amigo

I do think we go Defensive and a safety like Burnett or a (Off. or Def.) Lineman or a 3-4 LB happens.

I like Ponder alot

But in no way can I see Matt Ryan in him. So are you saying Ponder is at worst the 13 best player in the entire draft? I can’t see any team saying he is the best available player not QB but player at 13.

I agree

Its hard not to want Mcclain or Burnett instead of Ponder

I would hope for the Jaguars

and their fans sake..that if they did have a choice between Ponder and Tebow…in the 3rd round that is…that they chose Ponder.

Well for hypothetical purposes

Lets say Hiller, Tebow, Lefevour, and Ponder all were available in the 3rd.

I’d want Lefevour, Hiller, Tebow, Ponder. In that order.

I don’t think Ponder makes it to round 3 he would be a solid 3rd round pick.
