Free agency is starting slow down and the draft is onyl a month away. there are still a lot of things that can change, but I thought it was time to put out version 1 of my two round mock. There are a few trades involved and some picks that I am definitiely not sold on.
Have at it.
1. New York Jets – Reggie Bush, RB
(To New York - #1 / To Houston - #4, #29 and 2007 2nd round pick)
The new front office puts a stamp on this team for the next decade by making a bold move into the top of the draft for Reggie Bush. The Jets have a lot of needs, but the opportunity to obtain a player like this is too good to pass up and they can afford it with the acquisition of the #29 from Atlanta for John Abraham. The offer is too good for the Texans to pass up and with Pennington and Ramsey in the fold New York can take a wait and see approach at the QB position for at least another year.
2. New Orleans Saints – D’Brickshaw Ferguson, OT
Easy pick. The signing of Drew Brees changes everything and removes the immediacy in drafting a QB. The Saints will look to trade down, but since they don’t want to slide too far, their trading options are limited. The talk about Mario Williams or Leinart is nothing more that an attempt to drum up interest for a wild trade offer. Ferguson is a premier tackle and the Saints make the smart choice to bolster their line to protect Brees and his questionable shoulder.
3. Tennessee Titans – Matt Leinart, QB
The Titans add their QB of the (near) future and let him learn from McNair until he is ready to take over. This also gives the Titans the option of dumping McNair earlier and opting instead to go with Leinart and Volek. They may think of trading up with the Saints, but I think they will call the Saints bluff, hold firm and still get their man. Trading up into this spot is possible for a team keen on jumping ahead of the Pack and Texans for a shot at Super Mario (Detroit, Denver?).
4. Houston Texans (from NYJ) – Mario Williams, DE
(To New York - #1 / To Houston - #4, #29 and 2007 2nd round pick)
The Texans made a sizable investment in Carr and will not introduce another QB into the mix at the top of the first round. Instead they make the smart move, trade down and pick up additional picks for some much needed depth. The transition to the 4-3 defense will be a lot smoother if they have a pass rushing stud on the end that can also hold up against the run. Williams is the type of guy the Texans can build a defense around.
5. Green Bay Packers – A.J. Hawk OLB
The Packers decision between Williams and Hawk is made easy when Williams gets taken at #4. I’m not completely sold the Packers will take another 1st round LB (Barnett) but it would be very hard for them to pass up the BPA at a major position of need. Trading down a few spots to a team interested in one of the remaining QBs (Denver, Minnesota) would be an excellent move if the Pack can get an additional 2nd round pick out of the deal but I’m not sold on that yet.
6. Minnesota Vikings – Jay Cutler, QB
(To Minnesota - #6 / To San Francisco - #17, #48 and #83)
San Fran can go with either Vernon Davis, who would provide Smith with a nice big target or Michael Huff to solidify the secondary, but the Vikings make an offer that will give them much needed extra picks and send the front office the additional signing bonus that comes with a pick at the top of the draft. The Vikings can afford the loss of the extra picks due to the Culpepper trade and Minnesota has a long term need at QB, since most would agree that Brad Johnson is nothing more than a short term answer.
7. Oakland Raiders – Vince Young, QB
This Raiders pick has me stumped. Mario Williams would have been an excellent fit but with him gone Davis still has a choice between some incredible athletes (Davis, Young and Hgata). Young seems to be a popular pick lately. The Raiders have a need at QB and Davis has a history of going for speed, potential and all-round athleticism. Young has all of the above, so I’ll go with him for now.
8. Buffalo Bills – Haloti Ngata, DT
I have a feeling the Bills will get tempted with a few trade offers but this pick is a perfect fit. Buffalo needs help with their porous rush defense and could use a solid anchor up the middle. Vernon Davis is another possibility, but Levy knows better than anyone that you win and lose in the trenches and will go for substance over style in round one.
9. Denver Broncos – Vernon Davis, TE
(To Denver - #9 / To Detroit - #15 and #61)
The Broncos usually prefer to move down and add picks, but they may feel as though they are pretty close and only need another playmaker on offense to make a difference. Vernon Davis will be put to good use in the Broncos play action offense. Detroit makes out pretty good by adding a lower pick to shore up their offensive line and linebackers without dropping too far down.
10. Arizona Cardinals – Winston Justice, OT
Dennis Green has says that he is happy with his RBs then he goes out and signs James. He signed Warner to a contract, so could he make a push to move up and take Young or Cutler? It’s possible but not too likely. Warner needs lots of time to set up in the pocket, drafting a young tackle will hopefully help them do a much better job of protecting him.
11. Saint Louis Rams – Michael Huff, CB/S
The signing of Will Witherspoon may end up having the biggest impact of any this off-season and allows the Rams to fill other needs through the draft. Huff is the logical choice since he is arguably BPA and fills a huge need.
12. Cleveland Browns – Chad Greenway, OLB
The Browns have filled most of their major areas of need through free agency. Ngata would have been a nice complement to Washington if he fell, but Crennel probably won’t mind adding to his stable of pass rushing OLB’s. The drafting of Greenway plus the addition of Willie McGinest will go a long way to improve the Cleveland pass rush.
13. San Francisco 49ers – Jimmy Williams CB/S
(To San Francisco - #13 / To Baltimore - #17 and #68)
The talent level starts to take a bit of a dip here. The Ravens generally don’t reach for players and can afford to drop a little as they are targeting a few players that will likely still be available at #17. The Niners on the other hand have some ammo to move up and fill a big need area at CB. Williams may have some character issues but he definitely has the size and skills to make a difference on the 49ers defense
14. Philadelphia Eagles – Brodrick Bunkley, DT
I’m seriously considering the Eagles for either DeAngelo Williams or LenDale White … call it a gut feeling. Nothing against Westbrook but I can see them moving toward a more balanced offence and the need for a more complete RB. Enough of the crazy talk, I’ve come to my senses and expect the Eagles to address their lines or wide receiver. With the lack of playmakers at WR available and Runyan re-signed, Bunkley is the pick
15. Detroit Lions – Ernie Sims, OLB
(To Detroit - #15 and #61 / To Denver - #9)
The Harrington era is over and the Lions have two new arms in town (Kitna and McCown), so QB is not a pressing need any longer. Millen makes the picks, but I think Marinelli will have more influence on the type of players that are taken than the previous head coaches. Sims is undersized but flies to the ball and will fit in to the new defensive schemes that call for speed rather than size.
16. Miami Dolphins – Kamerion Wimbley, OLB/DE
All of the Dolphins free agent pick ups look solid but unspectacular. The Dolphins are without a 2nd round pick from the Culpepper trade so whichever position they don’t fill of their two major needs (OT and OLB) they will need to pick up in the 3rd round. With more teams converting to the 3-4 defense the Dolphins take Kamerion Wimbley and hope an OT drops.
17. Baltimore Ravens – Marcus McNeill, OT
(To Baltimore Ravens - #17 and #68 / To San Francisco - #13)
I was surprised by the re-signing of Jamal Lewis and expected the Ravens to team Anderson with a rookie. The trade gives the Ravens their 3rd round pick back and allows them to rebuild their offensive line by drafting Marcus McNeill.
18. Dallas Cowboys – Chad Jackson, WR
Sure, they just got T.O. but drafting Jackson gives them a lot of added benefits. It gives Bledsoe an additional threat with exceptional speed and allows Glenn to move into the slot where he may be able to do even more damage. An OLB like Lawson or Carpenter would also be a solid pick.
19. San Diego Chargers – Santonio Holmes, WR
The Chargers are looking pretty good but are lacking depth almost everywhere. If they want Rivers to succeed the Chargers are going to run Tomlinson consistently. A playmaker that can stretch the field and get the safeties out of the box is a must.
20. Kansas City Chiefs – Tamba Hali, DE
The Chiefs get a gift as Hail slides down on draft day. Kansas City hasn’t had a pass rusher like Hali in some time. He will instantly take pressure off of Jared Allen and improve what has been an uninspired defense in recent years.
21. New England Patriots – DeAngelo Williams, RB
This is completely out of character, but I can’t see them passing up this talent. When Dillon was out last year the entire offense suffered. Williams will make a nice compliment until Dillon retires. OLB (Lawson, Carpenter) and CB (Hill, Youboty) are also obvious possibilities.
22. Denver Broncos – LenDale White, RB
I wasn’t expecting this when I started out this mock, but I don’t think they can pass this kind of talent up. The combination of White and Bell will make a great duo and continue the Skeletor trend of messing with fantasy players.
23. Houston Texans – Eric Winston, OT
(To Houston - #23 / To Tampa Bay - #33 and #65)
The Texans overpay to move up ten spots and make certain they grab much needed help for their woeful offensive line. Winston is solid against speed rushers and that will come in handy against the AFC South (Freeney, Hayward and Vanden Bosch). The Bucs are aging fast and need an infusion of youth. Adding a high third in a deep draft will help.
24. Cincinnati Bengals – Gabe Watson, DT
It has been a pretty quiet off-season in Cincy. There is a chance they continue to rebuild their defensive secondary, but a run stuffing DT is the most likely pick here. Wroten or Watson are the likely candidates, but Watson appears to be the better fit.
25. New York Giants – Claude Wroten, DT
The Giants added Sam Madison and a host of other lesser CBs, so one of their needs has been filled. I think they will lose out on Arrington so the need for an OLB will remain. Yet, they tend to be more concerned about building their defensive line rather than linebackers through the draft.
26. Chicago Bears – Antonio Cromartie, CB
I just can’t see them taking a TE in the 1st round when there is such great depth at the position in this year’s draft. Cornerback is a need and Cromartie is a steal if he is fully healed. A safety (Bing, Whitner) is also a possibility.
27. San Francisco 49ers – Manny Lawson, OLB/DE
(To San Francisco - #27 / To Carolina - #38 and #83)
Carolina does not have a lot of holes to fill and can afford to move down and add depth instead. San Fran needs more backers for their 3-4 defense and Lawson may be the best pure pass rusher in the draft.
28. Jacksonville Jaguars – DeMeco Ryans, OLB
The Jaguars, like the Panthers, do not have a lot of significant needs. Assuming Arrington doesn’t end up in Jacksonville, the Jaguars would be hard pressed to pass up Ryans. Leonard Pope and Tye Hill are other options.
29. Houston Texans – Sinorice Moss, WR
If the Texans want Carr to succeed, they are going to have to find him more weapons. The addition of Moss will hopefully take away the constant double teams from Andre Johnson.
30. Indianapolis Colts – Laurence Maroney, RB
This is another easy pick, where the BPA meets a team’s biggest need. Maroney will likely share time with Rhodes until he can pick up the playbook, and more importantly, pick up the blitz.
31. Seattle Seahawks – Tye Hill, CB
Seattle has the luxury of drafting BPA, as they do not have a lot of holes to fill. Hill is raw but has tremendous speed. Seattle’s depth will allow them to bring him along slowly.
32. Pittsburgh Steelers – Donte Whitner, S
The Steelers need a coverage safety to make up for Polamalu who likes to play up near the line. Whitner should be a nice addition to the Super Bowl champs.
33. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Ashton Youbuty CB
(To Tampa Bay - #33 and #65 / To Houston - #23)
The Bucs have bigger needs at other position but Youbuty is too good to pass up here.
34. New Orleans Saints – D’Qwell Jackson, ILB
The recent signings of Anthony Simmons and Scott Fujita are not enough.
35. New York Jets – Nick Mangold, C
The Jets interior offensive line has been destroyed and needs fresh meat.
36. Green Bay Packers – Kelly Jennings, CB
A typical Thompson reach. The Pack could also go for OG David Joseph.
37. Oakland Raiders – Bobby Carpenter, OLB
Another workout warrior for the Raiders.
38. Carolina Panthers – Leonard Pope, TE
(To Carolina - #38 and #83 / To San Fran - #27)
I’m not certain he’ll drop this far, but if he does the Panthers will grab him.
39. Tennessee Titans – Abdul Hodge, ILB
40. Detroit Lions – Jonathon Scott, OT
41. Arizona Cardinals – Ko Simpson, S
42. Buffalo Bills – Mathias Kiwanuka, DE
43. Cleveland Browns – David Joseph, OG
44. Baltimore Ravens – Rod Wright, DT
45. Philadelphia Eagles – Thomas Howard, OLB
46. St. Louis Rams – Darnell Bing, S
47. Atlanta Falcons – Jonathon Joseph, CB
48. San Francisco 49ers – Marcedes Lewis, TE
(To San Fran - #17, #48 and #83 / To Minnesota #6)
49. Dallas Cowboys – Charles Spencer, OG
50. San Diego Chargers – Max Jean-Gilles, OG
51. Minnesota Vikings – Roger McIntosh, OLB
52. New England Patriots – Richard Marshall, CB
53. Washington Redskins – Daryl Tapp, DE
54. Kansas City Chiefs – Derek Hagan, WR
55. Cincinnati Bengals – Dominique Byrd, TE
56. New York Giants – Jason Avant, WR
57. Chicago Bears – Joe Klopfenstein, TE
58. Carolina Panthers – Omar Jacobs, QB
59. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Orien Harris, DT
60. Jacksonville Jaguars – Anthony Fasano, TE
61. Detroit Lions – Andrew Whitworth, OT
(To Detroit - #15 and #61 / To Denver - #9)
62. Indianapolis Colts – James Anderson, OLB
63. Seattle Seahawks – Taitusi Lutui, OG
64. Pittsburgh Steelers – Joseph Addai, RB

63. Seattle Seahawks – Taitusi Lutui, OG
64. Pittsburgh Steelers – Joseph Addai, RB
(crazy)Hali won't fall past Denver's later 1st rounder if he falls that far. I personally love the pick for KC, although I would prefer them to trade down and get Gabe Watson.
Sad to say as a PSU fan, but I think he's falling like a rock. I still believe that he can be a very effective DE in the NFL. He just will have to wait until the early to mid 2nd and prove himself before he gets that huge payday.
. The Bucs are stocked at CB (Barber, Kelly, Bolden) for the next three years, and don't need to even look at the position until next offseason at the earliest.
