Pick and write up made via PM by Bob Lee Swagger:
3.35 Chicago selects Darcel McBath, FS Texas Tech
Darcel McBath, FS Texas Tech
The Bears were heart-broken when Sherrod Martin was taken a few picks earlier, but we still feel very good about McBath. He's got decent size and decent timed speed for a safety, and although he's not a great run defender, he's very athletic and can make great plays on the ball. What the Bears need is a ball-hawking FS, not a run-stopper. We feel we've got that in McBath.

And there goes the top saefety left on the Seahawks' board.
I definitely erred with the WR pick in late round 3.

With the 4.01 Pick [#101 Overall] , The Pittsburgh Steelers select:
Herman Johnson - G - (LSU)
Wasn't planning on picking him here (was looking at DE), but the value is just too good to pass up here.
Herman can have the luxury of waiting a year and developing into the RG the Steelers have been searching for desperately. He is nasty and should dominate on the Steeler line for a good while.
This is a nice steal for the Steelers.
So far the Steelers' board looks as such:
ROUND 1 - (1.32) Alex Mack - C - (CAL)
ROUND 2 - TRADED to DALLAS (for their 2010 2nd Round Pick and their 4.01 from DET[#101 overall])
ROUND 3 - (3.32) Mike Mickens - CB - (CIN)
ROUND 4a -(4.01) Herman Johnson - G - (LSU)
Plus a 2010 2nd from DAL.

I thought you'd be happy with this pick.Honestly, I can't believe he's still on the board.

We passed on Duke to get a second next year plus Herman. Pending what the second next year could bring (D-line help?) this could have worked out REALLY well. I prefer Duke to Herman, but not necessarily by the margin of a second round pick.Choke said:Yeah... that a big influx of talent on the OLine for the Steelers. An entire new interior within 2 years or so. Alex Mack, Duke Robinson, Herman Johnson.

That's the kicker here, we have a 2nd rounder next year that we DONT have to spend on OL talent, the way things have shaken out thus far, I'm pleased to have grabbed two OL (one that instantly steps in at RG, the next who steps in at RG, when Hartwig goes FA and Mack steps into C) and a CB who will take Deshea's place, and eventually Gay/Taylor's.I'm pretty satisfied so far, but I need to get some infusion of talent on the other side of the line now.We passed on Duke to get a second next year plus Herman.

pick in a few give me just a sec to catch up
I probably miss this but saw you say you would take Moreno but than dont take Beanie Wells with the chance. Dont understand. I like Britton but I consider Wells the better RB in the end and if you want one than you should want both

I don't like Wells nearly as much as some folks around here.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS SELECT MIKE WALLACE WR MISSISSIPPI
After going defense and oline with the first three picks, KC decides to take the WR who has been moving up the draft boards. Currrently ranked as about the 8th best WR by some in this draft KC is happy to get him in the 4th round as many have him projected to go as early as the 2nd. Wallace has blazing speed which should help spred the field for D. Bowe and allow the newly signed Booby Engram to do what he does best and work underneath. KC also has Bradley and recently resigned Jeff Webb, but none have the speed of Wallace. KC has been looking for a WR2 for years. Wallace has that potential down the road, but could immediately step in and produce as the WR 3/4. In addition, his skills as a returner could help KC upgrade in that department. He may not be a Dante Hall, but his blazing sped allow him to average over 24 yards per return last year. Cassell can throw the deep ball and a player like Wallace will test his arm as well create more space for the Chiefs best WR-Bowe. At 6-0 Wallace is also tall enough to have an advantage over many DB's.
Tate was a consideration as well as another defender, but Tate likes the weed and is coming off an ACL injury. Wallace fits the pick here and defense can be addressed in the next round.

Ramses Barden WR Cal Poly
We got the little speed guys now we get our big physical wr. He might not be a burner but his build is top notch. He will definetly be a project but the Rams are putting together a young force here and Ramses definetly will be a large target in the endzone.
You can't teach 6'6" 230 lbs. that can run a 4.6 40

Terrible draft for the Patriots.
Rd. 1 Running Backs dont need to be groomed. You draft one when you need one. Its not like other positions where you draft for the future. Even if you think Maroney is a bust, the Pats have Sammy Morris, Fred Taylor and Kevin Falk. In their offense, they have adequate running backs.
Give them Everette Brown OLB FSU
Rd 2a Having gotten Brown in the first, the Pats do not need Clint Sintim. Although Percy Harvin doesnt fit at the classic WR opposite Randy Moss, he is a playmaker. He would give the Pats a replacement for Kevin Faulk as 3rd down back and insurance for Wes Welker at slot. Welker took some big shots last year and the Pats have nobody currently backing him up.
Give them Percy Harvin WR FLA
Rd. 2b IMO about a round too early for Jamon Meredith. The Pats move back to defense and try to draft a replacement for Rodney Harrison. Its a toss up between Sean Smith and Patrick Chung. I like Chung.
Give them Patrick Chung S - Oregon
Rd 2c I think DJ Moore presents very good value at pick 58. However, if Max Unger was there after pick 47, I would use my 4th rounder to get up and get him.
Give them DJ Moore CB - VAN
Rd 3a Have to be honest I am not that familiar with Alex Magee. Tedy Bruschi is on his last legs. Jaspar Brinkley would be a great replacement.
Give them Jaspar Brinkley ILB - SC
Rd. 3b Having already taken Percy Harvin, there is no room for Mike Thomas. The Pats need OL.
Give them Herman Johnson OG - LSU
I believe the above draft would be DYNAMITE for the Pats.

Sorry for the rant earlier guys. I had a hell of a day yesterday and when I checked in right at the "buzzer" and my pick was already made, it set me off.
I was more just making the point that when you set the rules for these things, that you should stick with them. Every mock that I have been in on this board has been strict to the rules. If you want a 30 minute or less turn around, then set the rules that way.
As I said, no worries all is good and buffaloes did a good job all in all in running the draft.

4.04 - Juaquin Iglesias, WR Oklahoma
I traded up here for a few reasons. First, I just wanted to make sure I got another pick in before the draft finishes. Making only two doesn't really give me a chance to noticeably improve the team. Second, I had Iglesias pegged as a second rounder on my board, and I didn't want to risk someone realizing he hadn't been taken yet.
The Bears' only current receivers are Devin Hester, Earl Bennett, and Rashied Davis (and I guess you can count practice squad players Brandon Rideau, John Broussard, and Devin Aromashodu if you Really want to). Clearly, we need help at this position. I came into this draft wanting to come away with two receivers and a free safety, so I'm pretty stoked that I landed Robiskie AND Iglesias, both of whom I figured would be second-rounders.
They have semi-similar games, but the bottom line is that the Bears have one receiver on the roster who had one half-decent year, and nothing else. We'll gladly take the best overall talent at WR, as I don't think we're really in a position to nitpick about style of play right now.
Chicago's draft so far:
2.17 - Brian Robiskie, WR Ohio State
3.35 - Darcel McBath, FS Texas Tech
4.04 - Juaquin Iglesias, WR Oklahoma
The way I see it, Earl Bennett, Robiskie, and Iglesias will battle it out in camp and will take over as the team's second through fourth receivers. This relegates Rashied Davis to a very, very small role, which is a very, very good thing. The Bears only have one real free safety on the team (Payne, Steltz, McGowan, and Glenn Earl are all strong safeties, Manning is playing nickel, and there's talk of moving Bowman to FS, but he seems very injury-prone), so McBath will push Josh Bullocks for a starting spot from day one.
This still leaves the Bears with 5.04, 6.18, and two compensatory 7th rounders.

I didn't PM Seattle since stevegamer said he wouldn't be around today.

Pick and write up via pm from stevegamer:
4.05 - Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech
Time to give the defensive line some help. We could use some depth, as Patrick Kerney is up there in years, and behind Daryl Tapp & last year's 1st rounder Lawrence Jackson, we don't have any pure DE's.
Williams came out as un underclassman and is raw, but led the Big 12 in sacks last year. He needs to work on moves, but has a solid speed rush already. I think he can be useful as a rotation end in passing situations while he works on technique. He won't be a starter unles he imporves against the run, but he may develop.
Seattle draft so far:
1.22 Eben Britton, T
2.05 Donald Brown, RB
3.03 James Casey, Football Player
3.04 Stephen McGee, QB
3.22 Jarrett Dillard, WR
4.05 Brandon Williams, DE
plus an extra 2010 2nd (Jags), 3rd (Texans) & 4th (Jets).

4.09 Green Bay - Cornelius Ingram, TE Florida.
Sorry it took so long, I went back and forth on my pick. I wanted Mitch King, and wasn't prepared with another player when he was drafted.
I like the talent Ingram has, but I don't really think the Pack needs a TE. This is more of a upside BPA type pick.
Picks so far
1.09 - Michael Oher, OT Mississippi
2.09 - Ron Brace, DT Boston College
3.09 - Jarious Byrd, CB Oregon
3.19 - Cody Brown, OLB UCONN

So far no complaining from Packer fans over any of the picks. I went pretty standard, and didn't try to get cute with any of my picks. The only time I really felt like I missed on a player was the 4th round pick with Mitch King going right ahead of me.
Anyway, that was the last pick for me. I am not going to be online again. If the Packs pick comes up, give us an unkown player from a small school. Normally we take those guys in the 2nd round, so they will be great value for us in the 5th.

Nice...
KC so far this mock:
1.03 Aaron Curry LB Wake Forest
2.14 Lawrence Sidbury DE/OLB Richmond
3.13 Jason Watkins OT Florida
4.02 Mike Wallace WR Mississippi
Curry was a solid pick at the time.....8-10 year pro bowler....Sidbury is moving up fast and I think a great pick to improve a non existent pass rush....Watkins is a decent OT that is used to playing in an offense at Florida that I think will translate well to what the Chiefs plan to do this year....and Wallace in the 4th might be a steal as some project him to go in the second and he fits a need on offense (deep threat) and returner....
UPDATE...at this point I have no idea what the Chiefs will really do, I could see them doing almost anything with the #3 pick....wouldn't be surprised at all to see them trade down to a team that wants to jump in front of Seattle to get Sanchez in case they think Seattle would really take him....would love to see them swap 1st rounders with someone and also get a second round pick this year....wish the Gonzo trade would have happened like it did here with a second rounder being this year instead of next....also wish that Stafford would have gone #1 in this mock as it appears he really will this year because I believe that KC will not take Curry at this point with the #3 pick....I guess I could have traded down in this mock, didn't really have time....
