Andy D's 2nd annual Super-Mega, 3 Round, Post-Combine, (2 Viewers)

19. Philadelphia Eagles- Limas Sweed, WR - Tennessee

Why the Eagles brass doesn't like taking skill players early is beyond me. This year, their hand is forced. After failing in their play to get Randy Moss, they take one of the two closest to NFL-ready receivers available.

I'm not a big fan of Sweed, but his time at the combine surprised me and this is the big bodied WR the Eagles need.
The east coast guys will pick this one up after supper, I suppose.
Did M.Kelly get any thought here? Does Sweed better fit what they are looking for?
Definitely. I bumped him down a bit since he hasn't been able to run in the post-season. I like him better than Sweed, but given the present circumstances I think Sweed (and one other guy) has him by a hair.Kelly has been a consideration for nearly every team starting with the Bills.

But excluding, surprisingly, the Lions.

Last one for the day.

This is more of a BPA pick, although it does fill a looming need...

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Keith Rivers, LB - U.S.C.

Brooks is ancient and Rivers is a great heir apparent. Rivers has the speed to be very similar to Brooks' style in the Tampa 2. This team better get young fast on the defensive side of the ball.

This would also be a decent landing spot for Brian Brohm, but I don't think he's as mobile as Gruden likes a QB to be.
with the lengthy list of QBs Gruden already has (griese, garcia, simms, grabowski, plummer, etc) i am not sure Brohm ends up there. Hadnt thought LB there since they have been good for so long but this makes sense, since its been sooo long.You sure you dont want to post a few more??? :goodposting:

edited changed RB to LB... damn fingures

What about Hardy? I like him the most of of all the WR.

Well, he doesn't really have Plummer and Simms will probably be cut. Gradowski is a career backup, Garcia is on his last legs, and Griese has to be just about out of chances. The Brohm pick would be for a guy they can actually groom for a season or two.

Sorry. Gotta run. Tune in tomorrow morning for more of the "Andy's got nothin' better to do than get paid to mock draft" show. :bye:

Wow. Almost 3k views through pick 20. That's exciting!

yeah thanks alot Andy. I didn't look at another thread all day once this one started. Wow I can't wait for tomorrow. Just like Christmas when I was a kid. :shrug:
 
10. New Orleans Saints - Leodis McKelvin, CB - Troy

Hopefully signing Randall Gay works out better than signing Jason David did. With Mike McKenzie coming back from an ACL tear, and Usama Young not ready for prime time, bringing in two new guys would be a good move.

I know they'd like to improve the interior d-line as well as the safety spot, but I don't think any guy's worth it at this point. Assuming he stays healthy, the addition of Vilma improves what was possibly the worst linebacking corps in the league last year.

Be back in about 15...
Half-Boo?

Not a terrible pick but I think they go DRC

 
17. Minnesota - Derrick Harvey, DE - Florida

As a fan of the Vikes, I'm encouraged by the seriousness that the team has shown in improving the roster. Signing Madieu Williams and Bernard Berrian took care of two of their bigger needs. But the most obvious need wasn't addressed when Justin Smith signed with the 49ers.

If they went into the season right now, they'd be going with three no-names (although Robison has potential), two guys that likely won't play (Erasmus James & Udeze), and another that's one strike away from a long vacation (Edwards). Harvey is the best fit for the pass rushing DE required to make the defense run and it's the worst kept secret around that they're very interested in him.
I LOVE the pick, but I'm afraid that he won't be there and Harvey & Gholston are the only two DE's that I like in the first round (outside of Long). I really like Robison and think he can be an every down guy - he just hit the "rookie wall" last season, but they need someone to help take pressure off the Williams boys in the middle. If neither of these guys is available, I think they go safety with either Kenny Phillips (who I like - because he has a little more size) or Reggie Smith (who Andy likes).

Nice work, so far Andy. Youve got alot of picks here going a little against the grain, which make this more interesting. Dorsey and Gholston 'falling' as far as they do may seem a bit of a reach, but youre making sense of it. I absolutely do not see Chris Long slipping by Atlanta at 3, though, considering their former ProBowl Dend, was also a former UVA player. But Long is a high character kid as well as a player, and Atlanta needs that now more than anything. Legitimate leaders to represent them better. The fact that he's a stud seals it. They can figure out how and where to play him after the draft him. He can play end, LB, and I could even see him lining up in the nose on passing downs. The Giants proved last season you cant have enough studs at the Dend spot.

I like the Mike Jenkins pick for New England at 7 because he's a stud playmaker with some size. But if Gholston and Dorsey are both there while NE's on the clock, Id expect there's atleast a 75% chance they'll trade down to somewhere within the top 15 and still try and get Jenkins. And if he's not there, Id expect they'd hope to get McKelvin or Cromartie-D. And as youve pointed out, theyve lost not one but 2 corners, even though Gay isnt anything super special, but he's a veteran. Teams need depth at the position. But if they end up taking Jenkins, I'll be happy with it.

And if Mendenhall is there at 15, God I hope Detroit takes him. He's an Edge James looking runner, imo. Versatile, every down. The Kevin Jones experiment there simply hasnt worked. I think its about time to cut ties. I expect it would make alot of fantasy players happy.

The most surprising pick to me besides Long falling to 4 has to be the KC pick. I know they need Olinemen, but if they dont find a way to trade out of that spot, Id expect them to take Gholston and play him at end, or Dorsey, and look to bolster that line starting in the early 2nd. The draft is deep with Otackle prospects.

I was thinking the same thing about Mendenhall (Edge comparison) and I was hoping to see the Jet's pick at 6 be Mendenhall instead of McFadden.

Can't wait for this to fire up today.

Judging by your 'First Annual' Andy D. mock draft that you put out last season, I wouldn't quit your day job. You missed on nearly EVERYTHING. I applaud you giving it the old 'college try' , though. :sadbanana:

If Philly doesnt get a WR before the draft I will be on my knees praying that they take Hardy.

They traded for John Abraham and drafted Jamaal Anderson last year. No way they take Long even if he's there.

Unless they think Jared Allen is leaving for sure, there's no need to take Gholston with Allen and Tamba Hali at the ends. And like I said, they drafted DT's in the 2nd and 3rd last year and they have to give them move of a chance.First pick of the day coming up...

When Quinn started to fall, I had no chance.My disclaimer, as usual, is "Don't take this stuff to Vegas."

21. Washington Redskins - Devin Thomas, WR - Michigan St.

Moss and Randle-El only caught four TD's between the two of them last year. Thomas gives the corps a size advantage that it simply doesn't have with the current group of smurfs. He had a breakout senior season and has not slowed down in the post season one bit. With Zorn running the WCO, I think Thomas is a better fit than Hardy, but that's just a feeling and nothing more.

It would be tough to bypass both Kenny Phillips and Reggie Smith as a replacement for Sean Taylor, but asking another Hurricane to fill Taylor's shoes would be unfair.

15. Detroit Lions - Rashard Mendenhall, RB - Illinois

You know what they say about blind pigs finding mushrooms every now and then? That's how I feel about Millen trading Rogers for Bodden and a third. They knew they were parting ways with Rogers anyway, but to get one of the better young CB's in the game (thus shoring up a MAJOR problem area) and getting an extra pick was a coup.

Kevin Jones is a good back when healthy, which is never. He rehabs like a madman but the team just can't count on him. With Duckett s signing in Seattle, at this point in the draft Mendenhall is just too good to pass up.
Worst pick EVAH!There are WRs on the board still for goodness' sake!

:no:
Well played.
OVERplayed is more like it
 
Come on, come on, come on already... you've kept us in suspense long enough - onto the next pick. To quote Antonio Banderos (Desperado's), "No time for chit-chat."

Andy, you are 100% right here.... and, they love Alphonso Boone, so there is no way they go DT at #5, especially considering the disaster that was Ryan Sims!!!!

Meh....Devin Thomas :hophead: Similar WR talent in the 2nd round. I think Washington should go a different route.

XNot with that size & speed combination. A corps of Moss/Randle-El/Thrash/McCardell just isn't good enough.

22. Dallas Cowboys (from Cleveland) - Antoine Cason, CB - Arizona

He's probably the most NFL ready CB in this class but since he doesn't have the eye-popping speed of the other three, he falls to the team that really covets a player like this. At best, he's an upgrade to Anthony Henry he's a great compliment to the underrated Terrence Newman and at worst he's a nickel starter.

Cowboys are going to look for guys that can play right away since the window is wide open but about to close with age creeping up on their marquee playmaker T.O.

Anyone who plays the position would have a tough time following Taylor. I do think that is anyone could handle it, it would be another player from the U. Phillips is extremely gifted and would do a great job beside Landry. While Thomas' speed and size combo might not be matched in later rounds, there would still be some good value there. I think an impact player like Phillips might be the best choice, but I wouldn't fault them one bit for trying to give Campbell a big target. :goodposting:

I figured this is who you were gonna go with. He has played a LOT of man coverage in college and thats what Dallas is looking for. He could pair up very well with Newman on the other side. Wish he had better speed, but, again with Newman, he only has to take the #2 receiver. In the short term, he'd be the nickle and definitely has the skills for that role. Its not a thrilling pick, but I could live with it.

I don't think that any of the safeties are first round talents and they're all about equal in skills. Taking Phillips in the first just because he's the best (which is debatable) at his position is not a good move, IMO.

He's got size, speed, and one decent year in college. I don't believe he's worthy of the 1st round.
 
23. Pittsburgh Steelers- Branden Albert, OG - Virginia

Has to be an offensive lineman and Albert is the best available at this spot. Nothing revolutionary here as this pick has been forcasted by a lot of people. I agree that it makes a ton of sense.

This is a squad that would consider taking a WR like Hardy or Kelly, as well as take a chance on Jonathan Stewart.

Miami won't take Ryan.Detroit won't take a RB, at least they shouldn't.

 
Great work as always Andy. This is one of the best threads of the year and thanks for putting all the work in. :wub:

Disregard all the haters out there...

Now I've got to wait for the Vikes next pick... :excited:

Albert is the logical choice here for them.The other 3 you mentioned would all be very interesting as well in Pitt.

 
Since that Pittsburgh pick is a little boring....

24. Tennessee Titans- Calais Campbell, DE - Miami (Fl.)

I would be nervous about this pick since it's based on potential more than production, but after losing both LaBoy and Odom, they don't have much choice. A player like Lawrence Jackson might be less risky, but Campbell probably represents a greater upside. One thing that does encourage me about Campbell is an interview I read of one of the Miami sports writers that commented on Campbell as a person. It gave me the same warm fuzzies that a similar article on Demeco Ryans gave me two years ago. He sounds like a really, really good kid that wants to be a great football player.

Fans would be disappointed there's no WR help taken here. But be patient.

1. We've covered that. I know it's the minority choice and the less likely one. But that doesn't mean it couldn't happen and it makes things more interesting. 2. Yeah. They really should.
That RB corp is terrible. yeah they could possibly wait until the 2nd, but to get arguably one of the top two RB's this late is money. IMO

Lions will go with a Defensive player.So will Miami.

But if Detroit goes and picks Mendenhall, what will that mean for Him FF wise?

No, they wouldn't! The Titans have drafted more WRs in the last three years than the Lions. Seven (disclaimer: none in the 1st - thank God!). It seems foolhardy to think their scouting department would get it right this time around.Excellent pick

 
Since that Pittsburgh pick is a little boring....

24. Tennessee Titans- Calais Campbell, DE - Miami (Fl.)

I would be nervous about this pick since it's based on potential more than production, but after losing both LaBoy and Odom, they don't have much choice. A player like Lawrence Jackson might be less risky, but Campbell probably represents a greater upside. One thing that does encourage me about Campbell is an interview I read of one of the Miami sports writers that commented on Campbell as a person. It gave me the same warm fuzzies that a similar article on Demeco Ryans gave me two years ago. He sounds like a really, really good kid that wants to be a great football player.
