Interesting to see Grubbs fall out of the 1st round (first time I've seen that) and still end up in Chicago. They might as well sign him now 
Love the 2.43 pick - Syndey Rice to Buffalo. Great #2 to Evans.
I have a hard time seeing Stanton slip past KC in the 2nd, but Smith makes sense there.
Figurs is higher than I'd imagine, but he can be a Dante Hall type KR/PR.
Sleeper alert: 131. Indianapolis - Dave Ball, WR, New Hampshire
You left Jon Cornish out. I'd be surprised if he isn't picked up by a team looking for a 3rd down back.

Interesting draft for Miami.
Levi is
Ray Macdonald is a beast
Lo Booker is a nice pick, but I am not sure if this is really a need...
Kolb!!!!!!!!
At this point the phins would get an A in my book.
Add in another DT in Johnson, and us using one of our 6th rounders (or both of them) to get trent green and the rebuilding process is pretty much accomplished in 1 draft.

It'll be very interesting to see if CLE selects Russell or Quinn if they're both there. with Quinn being labeled as the "safer" pick, the OH native who wants to play for them, and the way Weiss is hyping him to Crennell (said he was a combo of Brady & Peyton) it may be tough for Crennell to ignore all that. If you were Crennell, who's opinion could you trust more than Weiss??
Insane effort here Bloom, well done.

No kidding. NFL Radio asked Quinn about that comment and he said it was probably the largest compliment he's ever received coming from a coach that's actually had the opportunity to be around talent like that. The more I listened the more I tend to agree that Weiss saying something like that, with his credentials, may really mean something and not just be a coach trying to pimp his QB. That'd be pretty wrong to say things like that trying to convince one of your buddies to take him just to promote your program and recruitment. Lol.talk about being set up to fail. sheesh....It'll be very interesting to see if CLE selects Russell or Quinn if they're both there. with Quinn being labeled as the "safer" pick, the OH native who wants to play for them, and the way Weiss is hyping him to Crennell (said he was a combo of Brady & Peyton) it may be tough for Crennell to ignore all that.

Why don't we just say he's better than John Elway, Dan Marino and Johnny Unitas?

I agree that it's way too early to say those sorts of things. However, if you're Crennell and have a need at QB you have to at least take into consideration the advice of someone that's as respected as Weiss and especially with the relationship they have. To just ignore the advice of someone that's worked with Quinn the way he has would be kind of foolish.I'm not saying I think CLE should take him, I personally think they need to take Peterson, just that it puts Crennell in kind of a tough spot if Quinn & Russell are there.Why don't we just say he's better than John Elway, Dan Marino and Johnny Unitas?

One question: Why do you have Jason Hill going to the Vikings in round 2 instead of Sidney Rice?

Bloom - great mock! 7 rounds, man this is unreal!Lynch in the 1st is a solid pick - he would be a good fit for the system.Not clear why you project two DBs in rounds 2-3. We already have Woodson and Harris - while we need a young guy to groom, it's a reach to take two DBs this early.I love the Jacoby Jones pick in rd. 4, would be thrilled to see GB get him. We need a TE who can make plays, Chandler Scott is a solid pick this late. Not much of a blocker, but can do more with the ball than Bubba Franks.After round 5, it hardlyl matters, although it seems worthwhile to use a pick on Rhema McKnight.Would rather see Green Bay pick these 4 spots in rounds 1-4 (in no particular order): RB, WR, DL, DB/S. So this mock is very close, just 1 too many at DB for my tastes.Great stuff!
doubleamazing stuff big guy. The time and commitment you spend on the draft is just incredible. Cheers to Bloom!
to the Bloom-meister!does Bloom sleep in April?I think not...power nap, maybe, but no rest for the weary until early May!
FWIW...I think Savage takes Quinn over Russell, based on Ravens/Browns 'history' @the position--not saying it's right, just that there's been a pattern that I don't think Phil breaks here

If this is even close to accurate then Philly fans will be jumping off bridges again.A QB, a TE, and a RB that no one knows? With 6 picks, 4 should be on defense at a minimum.

Call me jaded, but I won't take a player's head coach's advice on how good he will be. What's he going to say? "He'll beat the bad teams, but man, if he starts against Baltimore, he'll choke! He's not going to get you a championship, but he'll sell tickets..."

I agree. I don't see a QB in the 3rd. Replace that pick with a D guy and I can see that happening.Thanks Bloom...good read.
I just figured that they might have a thing about avoiding South Carolina receivers rights now
. Also, Hill is more ready to step in and start than Rice is.

Not sure if this draft would excite as a Texan, especially in the short term. The first nine players could very well go off the board in that manner leaving us to guess at who the Texans have rated as the number 10 prospect.Branch would give the Texans a 4th straight 1 round pick on the DL and another player with huge physical talent who has not played to level of skill. Very boom or bust. Crowder- I am not sure that he has displayed to pure, consistent pass rushing skills that are needed across from Mario Williams, but at least a college player has a history of improving production though w/o dynamic sack totals. The pick with the least questions, but also may have some limit to his upside. More solid than spectacular and maybe a better LE than blindside rusher. Walker- Extremely physically talented and maybe the be "value" in this list. he has had the production to match and would be in a spot to be an immediate impact if healthy.Frye- Only a one year starter on the OL, but athletic enough for the zone systemBowie- athletic, but raw in techniqueBaksdale- athletic, but raw, only one year of college footballOverall, good job of finding athletes at positions of direct need, but I am not sure of the immediate impact that this draft would have. Would not excite the average fan, and one would need a ton of patience while the prospects develop. More boom or bust than I would personally want to see from the Texans.
I had KC taking Troy Smith in the 3rd for a while when I was staring at this thing, but in the end I decided that they like Croyle enough to forgo an early QB this year.Figurs was one of the hardest single players to slot.Cornish is nothing special and I think he'd be best served going to Canada anyway - he could definitely get drafted.Interesting to see Grubbs fall out of the 1st round (first time I've seen that) and still end up in Chicago. They might as well sign him now
He might not be the best cover 2 fit at this point, he needs to become more hardnosed, but he could be a playmaker and shutdown type corner with some more development. I grant that they could get better fits for the cover2 than Wade, but not someone with more upside.Hey Bloom, great stuff
Jackson gives them all kinds of versatility in the secondary, and he can play nickel for now and eventually become Collins partner at safety. Bain is rawer, maybe not ready to play nickel/dime this year but has the speed and hips to become a very good cover corner. That was my thinking - they have to start planning for the time without Harris, and they have to plan for not having a possible partner for Collins with upside on the roster (I would assume they want to upgrade from Manuel, although I could be giving Underwood short shrift here.

The first 3 rds for Denver would be awesome, don't know much about the rd 4-7 players. But I think they will pick a DT at some point in the draft, preferably a mammoth. You rock
I suppose Beck to Philly is a strange projection, I just liked him replace Garcia as the long term "in case of injury, break glass" guy, and I think he'll take to the Philly offense very very well, but it wasn't standard.Philly never drafts for the immediate future, I imagine they will be taking at least a few players that "no one knows".
I knew I couldn't do this without a repeat - thanks.
It's tough to make a satisfying looking draft for Houston without a 2nd. Walker and Crowder are the guys I see helping right now, although I agree that maybe a pure pass rusher could be a better 3rd round DE for them. I went with raw DBs who could project to be good starter in year 2-3 rather than guys who could step and help now, but with limited upside.Of course, the new regime is tough to read, Rick Smith wasn't hired until June.

While I like both Beason and Leonard I really hope (and expect) the Pats to use a #1 in the defensive backfield. Right now that is their biggest need (along with LB depth) and there will be players that can make an impact right away. Leonard is very intriguing and I'd have no problems adding him but right now he's more of a luxury they can live without. DB depth is not.
That's why I have them going CB-CB-S in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, but hey, it's NE, so I'm truly guessing.
If it doesn't kill me, I'll try to bust one of more of these before we leave for NYC.

I agree that with the Pats it's absolutely impossible to guess. It doesn't matter how much you follow them come draft day anything goes.If the mocks have any truth (and we know they probably don't) I could see them trading up a few spots for Leon Hall. He seems to be slipping a bit and he could be in range for the Pats. I know they have been sniffing around the Michigan players (i.e. Woodley, Harris and Hall) and it wouldn't surprise me to see one drafted at some point.

I agree with the above that if the Pats are going to move up, it is to get a DB, although I think they covet Landry more than the others, and safety is a position of need.
Regrettably, I have to give a to the call of Zak DeOssie going late in the 5th round (167th overall). He is easily a top 10 LB prospect, even if he played against Ivy League competition at Brown. Call me biased, but I see him going in the first day. I would love to see the Pats snatch him in the 3rd.

This is not a bad call, and DeOssie was the players I really wanted to move up - he has added value as a special teams ace too. I came close to swapping him out with Okwo or Waters to move him up.I will admit that it is IMPOSSIBLE to read this over without seeing at least a few dozen picks that make me a bit squeamish - but this thing is like a moving target with a slippery slope. You can't change one pick without changing 10 others just to make the new pick fit.Regrettably, I have to give a

Can't see the Chiefs taking a center over Robert Meachem (among many others).
It's not close to being their top need and he's not the best player available.
It's not close to being their top need and he's not the best player available.
I really wanted Kalil to go in the first and I'll admit I kind of crammed him in there because there's not nearly as many good places for him to land in late first as there are in the mid first. I just believe he's first round quality, although Im probably imparting too much of my personal opinion by doing that. I do think Kalil becomes close to the BPA around the late first. He's one of the top 10 sure things in this draft imo, and possibly a better prospect than Mangold. I will say that I don't assume that teams will automatically fill their most pressing immediate need with their first, especially as you get later in the first.

Wow Bloom, you constantly impress me with what you do on this board. Excellent job and thanks for your hard work on this.
I would be very, very excited if the Bills got this draft. I love the Rice pick in the 2nd if it could possibly happen, but I worry he might be gone by then. I think Pittman could do very well in a RBBC in Buffalo and could learn some much needed things from the coaching staff and A-Train. I'm not sure if I ever see him as a 200+ carry a season back, but those kind of backs are fading anyways. Josh Beekman could be another very nice pick for the Bills. I think alot is going to depend on the play of Walker and Pennington, but Beekman could fit in nicely with this new offensive line. But again very excellent job and keep up the incredible work.Oh, and just edited to add that I love the very last pick of the draft. I actually forgot about him and think it would be funny if he was the very last pick of the draft (considering where he was thought to have gone before baseball).

Bloom, I like it, especially that first round. As is my modus operendi, I will offer some comments on the Jets.
CB in the first as you have it is perfect, especially if a player like Ross is still on the board. After that, I differ. I beleive the Jets will go offense, as I think they addressed the D in FA. Coleman will start in front of von Oelhoffen, Bowens from Miami will be an OLB. They also picked up Haynes and Wadsworth as long shots. They are happy with Robertson at NT, and rememeber, Sione Pouha appeared to have beaten Robertson out last year before he went down with a knee in camp. The front seven are already on the roster.
The TE position will be manned by Baker and Jason Pociask. Who the heck is Pociask? Good question. He was in a platoon with Owen at Wisconsin in 2005, and didn't put many numbers up, but was taken by the Jets at 5.16 last year before a shoulder injury put him on IR for the season in early August. He ran a 4.84 at the combine with a 4.32 20 yard shuttle time. He is a much better blocker than Baker at 6'3" and 267. Runs very good routes, has very good hands, but he certainly isn't a deep threat. Here is onre scouting report on him:
Pociask is a player that not much was expected from because he was not a full-time starter prior to his senior season and did not show the quickness or playing speed early on that was expected. On film, he looks taller than his listed height and has shown the ability to reach up and catch the high pass decently well. He has good playing strength, which enables him to consistently block defensive ends effectively on run blocks, and when he runs aggressively, he can break tackles to gain yards after contact.
He does not have the explosiveness or playing speed to stretch the field and make big catches deep down the field, but does run sharp routes and catches the ball well. An added bonus is that Pociask is a smart and versatile player who can line up and contribute in a variety of positions. Overall, Pociask is the type of tight end that often gets overlooked because he lacks top-end playing speed and is only 6-foot-2, but he is going to prove to be a solid NFL tight end. He has the talent to become a solid starting tight end whose versatility, toughness, smarts and competitiveness enable him to be a versatile contributor as an in-line tight end and in motion as an H-back.
Pociask is a Mangini pick, and a Mangini guy. He will provide an immediate improvement in run blocking in the Jets' offense. He is THE reason the Jets were so slow to re-sign Baker last year. Once he went down, they picked up Sean Ryan, a guy Parcells liked and told Mangini to get him.
People keep talking about the Jets needing a deep threat, and that's true, but it won't come from the TE position. I'll eat my hat if the Jets don't take a guard in the second round, and depending, a WR with speed. Coles is older than his chronological age, and McCariens is all but gone already. Brad Smith is a versatile slash type, but isn't Coles' eventual replacement. Kendall at LG is also getting up there, and the right side of the O line can't run block. The sleeper at RT is Ed Blanton, a UCLA 4 year starter... the kid was promoted from the taxi squad to the active roster for the playoff game against NE, so they like him.... at 6'7" and like 335, he's the biggest guy on the Jets roster.
So, I'd change up that second round for the Jets if it were my mock... after that, it's all about BPA.

The TE position will be manned by Baker and Jason Pociask. Who the heck is Pociask? Good question. He was in a platoon with Owen at Wisconsin in 2005, and didn't put many numbers up, but was taken by the Jets at 5.16 last year before a shoulder injury put him on IR for the season in early August. He ran a 4.84 at the combine with a 4.32 20 yard shuttle time. He is a much better blocker than Baker at 6'3" and 267. Runs very good routes, has very good hands, but he certainly isn't a deep threat. Here is onre scouting report on him:
Pociask is a player that not much was expected from because he was not a full-time starter prior to his senior season and did not show the quickness or playing speed early on that was expected. On film, he looks taller than his listed height and has shown the ability to reach up and catch the high pass decently well. He has good playing strength, which enables him to consistently block defensive ends effectively on run blocks, and when he runs aggressively, he can break tackles to gain yards after contact.
He does not have the explosiveness or playing speed to stretch the field and make big catches deep down the field, but does run sharp routes and catches the ball well. An added bonus is that Pociask is a smart and versatile player who can line up and contribute in a variety of positions. Overall, Pociask is the type of tight end that often gets overlooked because he lacks top-end playing speed and is only 6-foot-2, but he is going to prove to be a solid NFL tight end. He has the talent to become a solid starting tight end whose versatility, toughness, smarts and competitiveness enable him to be a versatile contributor as an in-line tight end and in motion as an H-back.
Pociask is a Mangini pick, and a Mangini guy. He will provide an immediate improvement in run blocking in the Jets' offense. He is THE reason the Jets were so slow to re-sign Baker last year. Once he went down, they picked up Sean Ryan, a guy Parcells liked and told Mangini to get him.
People keep talking about the Jets needing a deep threat, and that's true, but it won't come from the TE position. I'll eat my hat if the Jets don't take a guard in the second round, and depending, a WR with speed. Coles is older than his chronological age, and McCariens is all but gone already. Brad Smith is a versatile slash type, but isn't Coles' eventual replacement. Kendall at LG is also getting up there, and the right side of the O line can't run block. The sleeper at RT is Ed Blanton, a UCLA 4 year starter... the kid was promoted from the taxi squad to the active roster for the playoff game against NE, so they like him.... at 6'7" and like 335, he's the biggest guy on the Jets roster.
So, I'd change up that second round for the Jets if it were my mock... after that, it's all about BPA.
Bloom, I like it, especially that first round. As is my modus operendi, I will offer some comments on the Jets. CB in the first as you have it is perfect, especially if a player like Ross is still on the board. After that, I differ. I beleive the Jets will go offense, as I think they addressed the D in FA.

excellent info here. I'll definitely incorporate your thoughts here into the v2.0 if I can pull it off before the draft. I'll admit to forgetting about Pociask. It seems like your job this offseason is to convince all of us know-nothing-know-it-alls that the JETS won't take a TE on the first day.

I agree with this statement and sentiment, and they way your mock broke down they kept losing out on players / talents. It just felt that they were chasing talent in this mock rather than going out and getting it.
I still think Philly goes S or LB in round one, but I'm wagering S is the call. LB / RB (Leonard) would be the 2nd pick and the third would be possibly Hunt, but more likely another DL with a slight chance of Ben Patrick.
I'll have to look again and see where you had him going.

Bloom, did you get a good feel on him from your tour of the college bowls, and did Mike Singletary take a liking to him?
