pgreenfan's 1st and 2nd round mock (1 Viewer)

***TRADE*** ***TRADE***

The Bucs move up by trading 1.4 2.3 and 2.32 for 1.1

1. Tampa Bay Bucs - Calvin Johnson, WR - Johnson is the best prospect in this year's draft in my mind. Whoever the QB is going to be in Tampa needs a big time threat in the passing game and Johnson will do it.

2. Detroit Lions -Brady Quinn, QB - The Lions go with Quinn as the safer of the QB picks. I don't have any reason to say it really, but it seems to me that Quinn will be a good quarterback in the Dilfer mode of someone who cane manage the clock and game well. However not the person you want as a gunslinger.

3. Cleveland Browns - Adrian Peterson, RB - Peterson has the potential to be a great back, and a blue collar worker who should be embraced by the Cleveland fans.

4. Oakland Raiders - JaMarcus Russell, QB - The Raiders are able to move down and still get the guy they wanted all along. The team has a lot of needs, however it looks like the Raiders are intent on keeping Moss and Porter. This allows them to move down get a good QB prospect and really help themselves with the additional 2nd round picks.

5. Arizona Cardinals - Joe Thomas, OT - Arizona's front office has the best case scenario play out in front of them and land a potential franchise tackle. Matt Leinart has to be thrilled with the addition of this guy.

6. Miami Dolphins- Gaines Adams, DE - The Dolphins give up a 2 this year to move up 3 spots. The Skins give a 3rd round pick next year. Adams has the potential to be a true difference maker. He will be a force rushing the passer at the next level and learn from one of the best in Jason Taylor.

7 Minnesota Vikings - Patrick Willis, MLB - I have Willis slipping a bit from my last effort. It isn't that I think he isn't worth the early spot as much as I think this make a lot more sense.

8. Atlanta Falcons - Levi Brown, OT - The Falcons needs some help at tackle, Wayne Gandy is 36 years old and there doesn't appear to be much help behind him. If any homers have any info contrary let me know.

9.Washinton Redskins - Amobi Okoye, DT - The immense potential of this kid causes his draft stock rise to this point. The Redskins give a 3rd next year to get an early 2nd this year to minimize the pain of not picking again until the 5th.

10. Houston Texans - Jamaal Anderson, DE - The Texans make an unpopular pick for the 2nd year in a row but after landing Schaub in the trade Anderson presents great value at this spot in the draft and will pair with Mario Williams to give the Texans a pass rush to compete in their division.

(They need a WR as well I think).

11. San Francisco 49ers - Adam Carriker, DE - Carriker has the ability to play DE in a 3-4 and the 49ers really need some help there.

12. Buffalo Bills - Marshawn Lynch, RB - A good portion of Bills fan won't be happy with this pick but it is the best option they have and need someone to carry the ball next year.

13. St Louis Rams - Laron Landry, FS - The Rams get the who is likely the best DB prospect in this class. Landry is a multi-dimensional player who will help with both pass defense as well as run support.

14. Carolina Panthers - Greg Olsen, TE - The Panthers need more weapons on the offensive side of the ball and get a legit pass catching threat here with Olsen.

15 Pittsburgh Steelers - Alan Branch, DT - The Steelers benefit from the fall of Alan Branch.

***TRADE*** ***TRADE***

San Diego sends Michael Turner to the Packers for pick #16.

16. San Diego Chargers - Ted Ginn Jr, WR - This is a pick I really struggled with but for a team without a lot of "needs" add the fact that it is an extra pick the Chargers swing for the fences hear hoping for a Devin Hester type of return man who can change the game anytime he touches the ball.

17 Jacksonville Jaguars - Darrelle Revis, CB - The Jags go with a high potential player in Revis he should upgrade the return game as well. The emergence of Hester will have teams really looking for that playmaking ability.

18. Cincinnati Bengals - Leon Hall, CB - The Bengals are happy to take Hall here who really helps them in the secondary. Hall also is a high character player which is something the Bengals have to look at sometime.

19 Tennessee Titans - Robert Meachem , WR - Vince Young needs a target and gets a good one here with Meachem who has the talent to become a true #1 WR in the league. He would combine with Brandon Jones who really started to come on at the end of last year to give VY a solid pair or wideouts.

20 New York Giants - Paul Posluszney, OLB - Posluszney knows how to play the game and compares favorably to guys like Carpenter and Greenway last year, but a step below Hawk.

21. Denver Broncos - Reggie Nelson, FS - Lynch is old and Nelson is a playmaker in the secondary.

22. Dallas Cowbsoys - Joe Staley, Ot - The Cowboys go offenive line here with an extremely athletic player in Staley. Flozell "the hotel" Adams has fallen apart over the years and is now like a run down motel on Harry Hines.

23 Kansas City Chiefs - Dwayne Jarrett, WR - Jarrett lands in a great situation for himself with the Chiefs. He doesn't have the speed to run past defenders but should work well as a red-zone target and possesion receiver for the Chiefs who looks to extend drives and control the clock.

24 New England Patriots (f/SEA) - Michael Griffin, CB - The Patriots hate to see Ginn and Jarrett both go just before them however are happy take Griffin who should be a very solid player for a long time.

25 New York Jets - Chris Houston, CB - The Jets go for a HUGE upside guy with Houston, however the question remains is he another Justin Miller who has get measurables but lacks the ability to locate the ball during a game and therefore gets beat for big plays?

26 Philadelphia Eagles - John Beason, LB - Beason is a playmaker and good value. It seems that the Eagles are often picking late in the first and get good value at what seems like a position that isn't a huge nead. I predict Beason continues that trend.

27 New Orleans Saints - Aaron Ross, CB - Ross is a solid cover corner who has good upside. He will take some time to adjust to the NFL game but possesses the skills needed.

28 New England Patriots - Brian Leonard, FB - Maroney fantasy owners throw-up but Leonard to the Patriots in real life would provide them with a lot of options out of the backfield.

29 Baltimore Ravens - Drew Stanton, QB - The Ravens know that McNair won't last forever and Stanton provides a future at the position who can take a year and learn from McNair.

30 San Diego Chargers - Justin Blalock, OG - A potential pro-bowler at OG in my opinion. Blalock adds depth to an interior line that is getting long in the tooth and fits nicely with the type of offense used by the Bears.

31. Chicago Bear - Lawrence Timmons, OLB - The Bears pick up Timmons as insurance on the Briggs situation and he provides nice value for the defending NFC champs with a extremely high amount of potential.

32. 32 Indianapolis Colts - Demarcus "Tank" Tyler - The Colts address their defense with someone who can clog the middle. Tyler is very strong and should be able to keep lineman from getting onto the Linebackers as much.

33 Oakland Raiders - Tony Ugoh, OF

34 Detroit Lions - Charles Johnson, DE

35 Oakland Raiders Arron Sears, OG

36 Cleveland Browns - Marcus McCauley, DB

Bad draft for the Ravens.

Round 2 Chris Henry? We already have McGahee, Musa and Mike Anderson. Think there are other needs more important like the O-Line, OLB and CB.

Don't like the Stanton pick in round 1 either. This would be a HUGE reach.

I don't think Stanton is a reach in round 1. I completely brain farted the McGahee issue.
 
I don't see the Steelers taking a safety in the first round at all. They just signed Ryan Clark last year, and they really like Anthony Smith (drafted in the 3rd last year). They have much greater needs than safety.

 
there's 2 Beasons too in the first round

one is a LB and the other is an OLB :thumbup:

I swapped the San Diego and Baltimore picks. It makes more sense that way. Thanks for pointing it out.
 
The one thing about Stanton to the Ravens is that McNair is getting old at 34 years old and Boller will be a UFA next offseason. So, the Ravens could be looking at no QB of the future even though the team (especially at the skill positions) has very good young talent.

:thumbup: QB to the Ravens isn't out of the question at all, the question would be do they think Stanton is worth the pick. I think he is a late first early second type of player who won't fall past teams like Detroit, Cleveland or even Chicago in early round 2. If the Ravens are going to go QB in this draft they either need to pull the trigger here or hope that Kolb is available at the end of round 3 which I think is questionable. I think the QBs this year are very much in a tier that looks like thisQuinn/RussellStantonKolb, Smith, EdwardsPalmer and everyone else.That said I think Stanton has the potential to be a very good (real life) qb for a long time.
 
seems like a lot for the bucs to give up to move up three spots -- they seem fairly stuck on not giving up any more draft picks, and they're guaranteed a shot at a stud at pick 4. most likely joe thomas.

essentially, thomas and two second-round picks for calvin johnson seems like too much.

 
This would be a bad move for the Bucs , giving way too much.
I didn't check it on the chart but I would think it is pretty close in terms of value.
I had to go back and check it on the "chart" if anything the Raiders are moving down for less than they should get. The values are below.Pick 1.1 =3000 points1.4 =1800 points2.3 =550 points2.32=270 pointsTotal value 3000 vs 2620. It is conceivable that they could ask for a 2nd next year as well. I think the deal is actually pretty fair for both teams.The Raiders getting essentially JaMarcus Russell, Aarron Sears, and Antonio Pittman for Calvin Johnson would be a great deal for them. I just believe someone will decide that Johnson is that good and give up a lot to get him. Tampa makes a lot of sense for the deal to happen in my opinion. Unless there is ill feelings with Chucky and Al still which I have no clue about.

The Vikings will not use a early pick on a LB. The Vikings have Ben Leber and EJ Hederson signed to long-term good money contracts and last years 1st rounder Chad Greenway will be at OLB.

I think Willis is a potential franchise MLB, I think he will be hard to pass up but I agree LB isn't there biggest need.

Yep no way the Steelers take a saftey first day. Smith and Troy are the future.
 
Initial thought:

1. The Bucs won't give up three picks (maybe 4) in order to get someone who MAY drop to them anyway. You must be assuming that he would be gone by then? I think OAK goes QB and DET and CLE won't go WR since they drafted WRs in the first round recently. Detroit probably will stick with Roy williams as their #1 and CLE stll has Edwards which they invested in. They also don't have a QB that can get their receivers the ball.

2. I don't think Drew stanton will be a first round pick. Teams that need a QB will take a chance and get him in the second.

3. The Bears won't take a WR in the second. With the emergence of Berrian, and still having Bradley and Mush on their roster they should be fie. The Bears still also like Currie and Rashied Davis. They have a decent young stable of WRs.

Your saying Branch has fallen out of the top 2 rounds?
:X x10. I give up.
You should. Whether you like him or not, no way does he drop past the second round unless he beats his significant other or is caught with a truck load of illegal drugs.

Rodrique Wright last year.... Just saying..... teams didn't think he had heart and then they found a problem with his shoulder and he fell like a brick.
 
Putting together mock drafts is not easy, especially with trades.

BTW, you have two Marcus McCauley's :lmao: .

Nice work.

I dont think tampa would trade up to get Johnson.

Ive toyed with Minnesota taking Willis if Adams isnt there. He's that good.

I think its unlikely Landry falls to 13. He's a franchise safety

Love the Leonard pick, have the exact slot in my mock right now.

Stanton sneaking into the first makes sense to me, he's very projectable and that seemed to get QBs into the late first.

 
I've mentioned it before in other threads, but A.J. Smith and the Chargers really do not place much of an emphasis on WRs. The Butler/Smith era has never drafted a WR in the first round and has never gone after a significant WR in free agency.

I truly believe they'd rather have Michael Turner than choose a WR with the 16th pick.

I think the idea of Ginn for 4-5 years for reasonable money is more attractive than Turner for 1 more year. The value of an explosive return man is something that can't be overlooked.

Okay... a mid-first-rounder seems a little high for a returner. Either way, it doesn't sound like you are looking at this from the Chargers' point of view.

Ginn isn't just any KR/PR, he's every bit as good as Hester if not better. He's also a real receiver unlike Hester.
 
24 New England Patriots (f/SEA) - Michael Griffin, CB - The Patriots hate to see Ginn and Jarrett both go just before them however are happy take Griffin who should be a very solid player for a long time.

Right Pick, but not for the reason stated. The Pats would not draft either Ginn or Jarrett even if they were here. The Pats have enough WRs on the roster to go into camp without a first round WR pick. The Pats need to look for S/CB/LB in this draft.

:D

Agreed here.I also agree with the Pats selections in principle. In an earlier post, I predicted they take Chris Houston or Aaron Ross with their first pick and grab Leonard with their other first rounder. Griffin is a nice call...either way, I think they go DB with that first pick.What I don't think will happen is GB giving up the #16 overall pick for Michael Turner.
 
I can't see Hunt going in the second with his pro-day results.
I dont think the teams looking at taking Hunt were expecting great numbers. His numbers were below expectations, but the expectations were for a somewhat impressive physical profile.
 
nice effort.my homer two cents is that the niners go landry or branch before carricker....
I think Carricker should easily pass Branch before the draft, a soft label at DT is a bad mix.
i'm not agreeing or disagreeing on CArriker...I'm just telling you what I've heard out of SF is that Landry/Branch/Willis are 1-2-3 on the teams board.Fwiw, I don't put much stock in how a guy does running around in shorts....Branch was a manchild this year for Michigan and I'd see it as a steal if SF got him at 11.
 
I think your trade ideas are somewhat fanciful and highly 1-sided (Tampa Bay isn't paying enough and Green Bay is paying way too much), but outside of that, a solid mock.

I don't think Jamaal Anderson would be an unpopular pick for the Texans (in fact it would be a great pick.) The only thing that would be unpopular would be if Peterson was still on the board and they passed.
