Thoughs?

 

[Ridgelake]

Nothing completely out of line as far as I can see.

Moss to Chicago is a bit of a question. Berrian is a developmental speed guy....

Lawson will have to put on some size/weight to play DE in Jacksonville's 4-3. But a nice pashrush addition to their big DTs.

He makes a plausible case for Marshall to NE.

All in all, one of the better mocks that I have seen.

 

[HellToupee]

Interesting seeing the NE/Fresno connection again

Bloom did you just make Staff??Congrats!!

 

[Boston]

Interesting seeing the NE/Fresno connection again

The combination of Saban going to LSU and the Pats taking Mankins (pretty much out of leftfield to the draft gurus) and Sanders last year has the Fresno connection heating up. In reality I think this is a comfortable angle for the draftnicks to use since it's almost impossible to predict what the Pats will do on draft day.

 

[Kirby]

I don't see Winston going before Winston.

 

[Foosball God]

I don't see Winston going before Winston.

Yeah, no way Winston Justice falls to 23.

 

[Evilgrin 72]

Richard Marshall as the first true CB off the board is surprising - Tye Hill would seem to have locked up a first-round spot by running a 4.29 at the combine. Fabian Washington got into round 1 with that exact time last year, and I don't think he was as highly regarded as Hill was going into the workouts. Mangold would be a great fit in Denver, as much as I'd like to see Pittsburgh grab him. I don't think Winston Justice drops to #23, nor Kiwanuka to the 30s, but all in all, not a bad mock.

Thoughs?

Tenn is definitely making a move for Leinhart or Bush, theres just no chance Chow and Fisher let both of them go elsewhere, IMO..Young is going to drop out of the top 5, can't see N.O taking him, and despite Cutler's so/so combine,he's still a legit top 5 contender.. If Tenn likes Leinhart so much, if I'm Houston i'm saying give me Ben Troupe AND the #3 pick,and you can have the #1 overall pick. ..Troupe is on the rise as an up-and-coming talent, and Kubiak's offenses have always needed a good TE to open up the middle of the field.. take Troupe and the #3 , and draft Brick!!!

also, what if Houston slides down as far as #4 or #5, and takes Vernon Davis, acquiring extra picks along the way , and takes o-linemen wth those picks?!

anyone see that happening?

Davis looks like he could be Antonio Gates with Matt Jones' speed and Gonzalez' skills...scary good..

the point is, getting a solid TE would open things up for AJ, and give Carr another target, and will get them extra picks they can use on drafting o-linemen..not sure they need another RB..

the rest of the list looks good..i like the Giants taking a CB in the first round, they definitely need secondary help!

Well deseved, my ifriend - your contribution to this board has always been top-notch, and I value the opportunity to speak with you about the rookies coming in and the draft each year. I think very highly of your opinion, and it's a smart move by FBG to bring you into the fold. Congrats, man !

I like the Idea of Vernon Davis in Houston along with a few more draft picks this year or next. The problem has been said before that who is going to pay to move up? I do think that Tennesee would love to have Bush or Leinhart but at what price? Wouldnt they be better off just taking Ferg at #3 and go after a Free Agent QB?

And if Tenn did go for #1 then the only way i see people moving up to get the #3 pick is if Bush is still there. That would be the Ultimate scenerio for Houston IMO.

Altough I think Vernon Davis will go to Oakland or San Fran.

He won't be.Im on the Nick Mangold/Jason Allen train right now.

Where do you think Allen might go? I have been eyeing him as a 2nd round pick for some time now, but do you think his combine performance has moved him out of the late second round range? He would seem to be a great fit if Hope walks - if Huff and Williams are the only two potential safety prospects off the board (I know one or both will play CB) - do you see Allen as a better fit in the Pittsburgh secondary than a Darnell Bing or Ko Simpson? Those two may both be gone also at #32, so Allen may be the highest rated S prospect available at that juncture anyway.

 

[nerangers]

Anyone know how DeMeco Ryans, OLB, Alabama did at the Combines? I see he has slipped on a few Mocks and slipped at nfldraftscouts.com. This is who I thought the Pats were targeting.

 

[tombonneau]

Seems low for Huff. I think he'll go top 10. If he does last til the mid-teens, someone will likely trade up for him.

And I just don't see the Cutler lasting past the Jets and Raiders.

I actually think that the Jets will try to trade up for Bush.

 

[Trig2U]

Overall a very solid mock, with a couple of interesting but defensible twists. But yeah, Tye Hill is conspicuous in his absence, and Huff looks pretty low here.

Also I know things could still shake up after pro day performances, but if the draft were today, wouldn't the Chargers take Chad Jackson (and that 4.32 40) ahead of Santonio?

Finally I thought the consensus was that Greenway has probably dropped behind DeMeco at this point. No?
