Sorry for the wait guys.
3.96 T. Murphy WR Texas A&M
With only two WRs under contract the Titans need to get some fresh meat onto the field. Another former high school QB, Murphy has excellent speed, soft hands and will also double as a return man if needed. Another piece of the rebuilding puzzle for the Titans.

Seahawks select Leroy Hill, OLB, Clemson

In this mock, the Chiefs have addressed WR by trading for Rod Gardner; CB by trading for Surtain; and DE with Pollack, at this pick I'm looking at LB, OL, and CB.
After much debate, and realizing that the Chiefs face Philly, Denver and Oakland while Warfield will likely be suspended, the Chiefs take Eric Green, CB, V-Tech.

OVERVIEW
An outstanding kick blocker on special teams, Green also took on a positive leadership role while starting every game at cornerback as a senior. Won the President's Award for leadership in 2004. Green is the type of player who combines excellent athletic ability with speed and experience. He has come back strong to help solidify the secondary since missing the entire 2002 season with a knee injury.
Green excelled as a quarterback, receiver and defensive back at Clewiston (Fla.) High School. Voted the team's MVP in 1999, he was named to the Palm Beach Post All-Area team and earned all-state honors as a senior. Green was the fourth-rated free safety in the state by The Florida Times-Union and was also a member of that newspaper's Super 75 team. He posted five interceptions on defense, passed for 1,100 yards with 12 touchdowns and rushed for over 400 yards and six scores his senior season. He accumulated over 2,200 career passing yards during his last two seasons. Green also lettered in track and basketball, placing fifth in the state in the 110-meter high hurdles with a time of 14.3 seconds.
Green played in 11 games as a true freshman, starting six contests, as he recorded 31 tackles (19 solos) with a stop behind the line of scrimmage and four interceptions in 2000.
He appeared in 10 games as a sophomore in 2001, collecting 18 tackles (11 solos) as he deflected two passes and blocked two punts. Green sat out the 2002 season with a medical redshirt after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the summer.
He returned to action in 2003, starting seven contests. Green recorded a career-high 58 tackles (41 solos) with two stops behind the line of scrimmage. He had 166 yards on three interceptions, returning two for touchdowns, and also deflected six passes while blocking the fourth kick of his career. Green started every game as a senior, making 36 tackles (20 solos) with an interception and five pass breakups.
In 47 games with the Hokies, Green registered 143 tackles (91 solos) with 5½ stops for losses of 39 yards, three forced fumbles, four blocked kicks and 25 pass deflections. He also had eight interceptions for 264 yards in returns and two touchdowns. Only Willie Pile (270, 1999-2002) and Ashley Lee (351, 1980-84) gained more yards on interception returns in school history.
ANALYSIS
Positives: Has a long, lean build with adequate muscle definition, but does have room for additional growth … Has very good short-area quickness with an explosive break on the ball … Has no problems retaining plays and is rarely caught out of position due to his ability to quickly make reads and keys … Has above-average change-of-direction agility, balance and body control, doing a nice job of keeping plays in front of him … Gets a sharp break on the ball and has more than enough range to recover when beaten, but is rarely caught out of position … Stays tight on the hip of receivers on deep routes and cannot be beaten by double moves … His drive to the ball and feel for the pass allow him to get an early jump on the ball … Will not hesitate to come up and plug holes in run support … Has the hand strength to handle his assignments in press coverage, but his speed is also good for man and Cover 2 assignments … Does a very good job of shadowing and trailing in press coverage, and has the ability to plant and drive back to the ball … Effective in turning and flipping his hips when coming out of breaks and showed marked improvement in 2004 to run with the receivers on deep routes … Attacks the ball and shows good timing and proper hand extension competing for the pigskin in tight quarters.
Negatives: Has added strength to his frame, but still lacks ideal size … Has the strength, but needs to get more physical in coverage, as he sometimes gets pushed around by the bigger receivers when trying to dictate route progression … Will get turned around some in man coverage when he peeks into the backfield too long … Quick out of his backpedal, but could be even faster if he would not get so high in his stance … Adequate to read the quarterback in zone coverage, but has good ball skills … Has good hands, but likes to catch the ball with his body … Because of size issues, he is slow to get off blocks and is not physical in his run support, but will tackle … He sometimes takes bad angles and will miss in space, especially when he goes low and tries to trip the runner up.
INJURY REPORT
2001 -- Missed the Pittsburgh game due to tonsillitis.
2002 -- Missed the entire season after he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while working out in July … Underwent reconstructive surgery.
AGILITY
4.38 in the 40-yard dash … 300-pound bench press … 450-pound squat … 275-pound power clean … 40-inch vertical jump … 32 ¼-inch arm length … 9 1/8-inch hands.

That was my pick!
That is a great pick -OZ- i thought you guys forgot he was still available at this stage! DAMN
The World Champs add depth on OL by selecting with the #100 pick in the 2005 NFL DRAFT:
Adam Snyder OG Oregon
Pros: Big man with decent speed and athletic ability for the position. Technically sound, intelligent player.
Cons: Might be able to be a right tackle, would still be a solid starter at guard.
OREGON Experienced another outstanding spring and continues to be viewed as one of the line’s most outstanding players. With each season that passes his ability continues to progress, culminating with 13 starts in 2003. Begins the fall as a candidate for the Outland Trophy, awarded annually to the top interior lineman in the country. Is a versatile player who can play at either the guard or tackle positions and although he played all three positions as a junior, coaches are looking to keep him at the right guard position as a senior in order to facilitate a dominant force on that side of the line. However, if circumstances arise, has the knowledge and ability to play at either guard or tackle outpost. 2003 • JUNIOR Experienced his most consistent year on the offensive line, highlighted by his selection as the Pac-10’s first lineman to earn Offensive Player-of-the-Week accolades since 1995 for his play in the win over Michigan. Also became Oregon’s first first-team all-Pac-10 offensive line honoree in 20 years, anchoring a line that boasted the league’s fourth-best rushing output despite the lack of a 1,000-yard rusher for the first time in five years. Paved the way for a season-high 218 yards rushing in the regular-season finale vs. Oregon State. 2002 • SOPHOMORE After gaining valuable experience a year ago and showing signs of what he could do during spring workouts, started 10 games while providing a consistent aspect to the Ducks’ offensive line. Aided the cause of a first-team all-conference running back as Oregon was second in the conference in rushing and fourth in sacks allowed. Was team’s top lineman for performance vs. Washington while turning in notable efforts on seven other occasions. 2001 • FRESHMAN Team’s top offensive line reserve gained experience in final 11 games after making collegiate debut against Utah. Witnessed lone career start at right tackle in win vs. USC, yet probably turned in best performance as team ran for 282 yards and six TDs at Arizona. Stepped onto the field for 57 snaps against Oregon State and 54 at California.
PATS fell this kid can play and play this year.
We will miss you Andruzzi....

Sorry, thought I had looked through that better. At 102, San Fran selects Craphonso Thorpe WR, FLST. Please tell me I didn't overlook him too.

I had no clue and was honestly suprised.GB the "search" function - generally ctrl-F works.
Browns Take: Darrell Shropshire NT South CarolinaOur NT is old and on a short-term contract. Here is someone he can groom.Strengths: Has good size...Has excellent strength...Is very durable...Good quickness...Does an excellent job of stuffing the middle...A force against the run. Weaknesses: Is not a great pass rusher and doesn't have many moves...Is not a great athlete or very fast...Won't chase anyone down...Does not move well. Notes: Isn't a dynamic playmaker but he does his job and opens things up for others...Has the type of skills that lead you to believe he could be a good nose tackle in the pros.

Miami Dolphins select Micahel Roos, OT, Eastern Washington
I am surprisingly
with the way this draft has gone...
NFL DraftCountdown says Roos may be the best LT prospect in this draft
His stock is definitely on the rise and I doubt he is still available in the 4th round of the real draft.
I was able to get a franchise QB (Rodgers), a RB that would have gone in the 1st or 2nd of any other draft (Morency), a LT that would have gone in the 2nd or 3rd of any other draft, and a solid big guy at MLB to play with Zach while we make the transition from the 4-3 to the 3-4 (Rudd)..

Late Write up:97 Denver (COMP) beef - Kevin Everett TE UM 101 Denver (COMP) beef - Ronald Bartell CB HowardEverett Gives Denver some TE depth and hopefully another much needed target for Jake. Bartell is a very athletic guy that can play anywhere in the d-Backfield which will be needed with Moss in the divison now. Both of these guys I was tageting, along with Eric Green, so the comp picks worked out well.
Can we just put a bullet in it?

Footballguy
We might consider just going to a voting process for each pick, with the "owner" having the final say if he's around on time. I for one wouldn't mind some other opinions on the picks at this point anyway. (Then again, I only have a pick or 2 in the 5th, depending on how we work the Carlos Hall trade here)

Let's vote on OAKLAND
Al Fincher LB UCONN
OVERVIEW
Al Fincher was a three-time letter-winner at Norwood (Mass.) High, where he played under Doug Flutie's prep coach, Tom Lamb, and earned All-Bay State League honors as a senior. He was also a member of the Boston Globe and Boston Herald All-Scholastic teams and the Gridiron Club of Massachusetts afforded him All-State honors.
Fincher was not highly recruited and joined Connecticut as a reserve in 2001, recording 10 tackles in mostly special team action. He took over the middle linebacker slot as a sophomore, ranking third on the team with 91 tackles (53 solo), including 1.5 sacks, nine stops for losses, an interception and two fumble recoveries. He started every game in the middle in 2003, posting 113 tackles (67 solo) with 10 stops behind the line of scrimmage, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and an interception, earning All-Independent honors.
He capped off his career by garnering All-Big East Conference first-team accolades in 2004. He led the team with 140 tackles (56 solo), ranking fifth in the nation with an average of 11.91 hits per game. His five forced fumbles ranked second in the country to Texas' Derrick Johnson (six). He also had an interception and deflected seven passes.
Only John Dorsey (184 in 1983, 154 in 1982, 144 in 1981), Don Thompson (154 in 1974) and Vernon Hargreaves (149 in 1982) had more tackles in a season at UConn -- all compiled during the school's Division 1-AA tenure.
In 47 games as a Husky, Fincher started 35 games. He recorded 355 tackles (183 solo) with five sacks for minus-34 yards and 33.5 stops for losses of 110 yards. His 354 tackles rank fifth in school history and his 33.5 stops for losses rank fourth. He also recovered five fumbles, caused six others, intercepted three passes for 61 return yards and deflected twelve passes.
ANALYSIS
While Fincher seems to have "flown under the radar" during his first three years at Connecticut, scouts took notice of his ability in 2004. This is an athlete with excellent body control and hand usage. He uses his compact frame with force and is very active with his hands to stun and jolt. He sees the ball immediately and gets to the point of attack with good urgency.
Fincher has fluid hips and a smooth running motion to squeeze through trash and make negative yardage tackles in the backfield. He has very good field vision, quickly making reads and reacting to the play. Fincher has the ability to distinguish between running and passing plays quickly and has the ability to sift through traffic to make the tackle.
Fincher is very effective making plays on the move and has enough short area burst to reach and explode into ball carriers on the corner. He gets good depth in his pass drops and can mirror and reroute tight ends in the short area, but does not have the sustained speed to stay with receivers on deep routes. His lateral range makes him appear faster than his timed speed. He has a good flow to the ball and displays the ability to squeeze through tight quarters and sift through trash to make the play.
Fincher shows good zone awareness and can cover runners coming out of the backfield. He is a good take-on type who is very physical around the ball. He does a very good job of protecting his feet vs. cut blocks and can separate from offensive linemen with his hand punch. He is not used much as a pass rusher, but has good acceleration to collapse the pocket. He will generally stay low in his pads and even when he gets high in his stance, he rarely struggles to disengage. His strong hand usage upon contact allows him to stun, jolt and stack at the point of attack.
His tackling skills and lateral agility make him a very interesting prospect. While some teams project him as a mid-rounder, there are very few middle linebackers in this draft with his upside. He has very good body control in the open and excellent hip snap to explode into ball carriers. His quickness to the edge lets him force the action back inside and he shows good awareness handling the switch-off in zone coverage. In a 3-4 defense, he could be just as effective as Pittsburgh's Kendrell Bell or Baltimore's Ed Hartwell, two players that quietly go about their job but make the players around them look better.

Start vote on TB
They need OL
My Vote is:
Wes Sims OG Oklahoma 6’5 317
Wes Sims became a starter his freshman year at Oklahoma, and never relinquished the job. He earned freshman All American honors, after starting at both left and right tackle for the Sooners. His final three seasons, he remained at left tackle, and was very important to the success of one of the best college programs over that time.
Even with Jammal Brown on the same offensive line, Sims was able to keep the left tackle job locked up during his stay with the Sooners. He has very good size, plays with great strength, and will battle until the whistle blows. He brings the ideal mentality for an offensive lineman.
Despite playing LT in college, Sims does not possess the physical ability to remain at that spot in the pros. He is not a good athlete, and does not move very well. He is going to have to move inside to a guard position, a spot that he has yet to play.
Sims had a lot of college success and brings a great attitude to the field. He will find a role in the NFL, even if he is just a backup. His experience at tackle and his likely move inside to guard gives him a little flexibility at the next level. He projects as a Day two pick, but with his attitude and intensity, he could outplay a lot of players drafted ahead of him.
