[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

I'm in the minority here but I don't think Suh will go #1. The Rams will take Clausen.

Not a chance!

 

[travdogg]

Thanks for throwing a mock out there. I agree with a large portion of it.

I can't imagine SF would make that trade though.

 

[Pipes]

Not bad though I hope the Packers have Buloga ahead of Best on their draft board.

 

[mcintyre1]

Will the Rams really spend another top first round pick on DL? I just can't see them tying that much money into the position.

 

[ninerfan]

Not bad. SF will never trade up though, especially for Bradford. He'd probably fall to them anyway, if that's who they were after.

 

[BigDave]

I don't see Dallas going WR early.

They have Austin, Roy Williams, Crayton and Olgetree.

Oh bye the way, Jason Witten at TE.

They are thin at OL for backups. I see them grabbing an offensive lineman.

 

[BlackMagic10]

Oakland Raiders: Taylor Mays SS

Pretty much a given. Unless he's off the board.

 

[hauser42]

Not bad though I hope the Packers have Buloga ahead of Best on their draft board.

Best seems a bit of a reach.I would take Trent Williams in the 1st round before a RB. Grant is doing his job and Jackson needs to just stay healthy to help out.

 

[CravenM]

If the Redskins hire Shanahan, look for Tebow to start the 2010 season

 

[pantherclub]

Is Clausen really that good? From what I have seen he has a long way to go in both the mental and physical aspects of the game.

 

[duece2626]

What a waste Grisham would be if he went to ARI.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Not bad though I hope the Packers have Buloga ahead of Best on their draft board.

The Packers will NOT select a RB in the first round unless Spiller is available, then MAYBE, but highly doubtful.

 

[JaxBill]

Jacksonville Jaquars: D. Morgan DE

Tennessee Titans: Joe Haden CB

San Francisco 49ers: to Cle Carlos Dunlap DE

Even if you totally dismiss Tebow as an NFL QB, if the next 2 picks after Morgan are both Gators that a lot of people see as Top 10 talent, the Jags front office will take a lot of heat. Derrick Morgan makes a lot of sense according to their on-field needs, I'm just saying the pick will NOT be popular. Of course, the Derrick Harvey/Reggie Nelson picks haven't exactly wroked out great for them either.

 

[bulger2holt]

I'm in the minority here but I don't think Suh will go #1. The Rams will take Clausen.

Are you trying to set the Rams back another 5 years ? Like they haven't suffered enough ? Give us Suh

 

[rascal]

Broncos have so many other needs than WR even if Marshall leaves.

 

[bulger2holt]

The only way the Rams don't take in rd 1 Suh is if Tampa Bay wants to swap places and throws in both second rounders.

 

[treat88]

I understand the Davis pick by the Steelers.

Colon will be an RFA next year due to the lack of a CBA though.

For me, secondary is a far more pressing need.

Earl Thomas would be ideal at that spot.

 

[Michael Fox Fan]

Not bad though I hope the Packers have Buloga ahead of Best on their draft board.

The Packers will NOT select a RB in the first round unless Spiller is available, then MAYBE, but highly doubtful.

Yep. If a special RB falls, sure. But otherwise we're looking at an OT, DB, maybe a DE. Of course, with TT anything is possible....Solid effort by Blackjacks, cool to see mock drafts starting already!!

 

[Blackjacks]

Not bad. SF will never trade up though, especially for Bradford. He'd probably fall to them anyway, if that's who they were after.

I think if they want Bradford, who is made for their spread offense, they will have to get infront of Buffalo. They do lose they midfirst round picks but they also get that earely #2. I think it would make perfect sense.

 

[Blackjacks]

I don't see Dallas going WR early.

They have Austin, Roy Williams, Crayton and Olgetree.

Oh bye the way, Jason Witten at TE.

They are thin at OL for backups. I see them grabbing an offensive lineman.

I think that is my point

 

[Buffaloes]

Broncos have so many other needs than WR even if Marshall leaves.

Agreed, but you never know with McDaniels. I think they would have a hard time passing over Rolando McClain or one of the DTs for Dez Bryant though. Nice job putting one together this early, op.

 

[Blackjacks]

Not bad though I hope the Packers have Buloga ahead of Best on their draft board.

Best seems a bit of a reach.I would take Trent Williams in the 1st round before a RB. Grant is doing his job and Jackson needs to just stay healthy to help out.

While I kind of agree with you and I was at a loss with this pick and am definetly not a fan of Best I see Grant limiting that team and I think they are an all around skilled back away from challenging New Orleans for the best offense in the NFC. Again, I don't like Best but he offers alot of speed at the position.I personally wish they gave Jackson more of a shot. I don't love Grant.

 

[Blackjacks]

If the Redskins hire Shanahan, look for Tebow to start the 2010 season

WHY??????I know he (Shannahan) has some Florida connections but what would make you make this statement?

 

[Blackjacks]

Is Clausen really that good? From what I have seen he has a long way to go in both the mental and physical aspects of the game.

IMO he is by far the best qb in this draft. Washington would be a GREAT spot for him to go to and Shannahan would be an excellent coach for him to grow with.ProBowler within 4 years

 

[Blackjacks]

San Diego Chargers: Ryan Matthews RB

I was going to post this exact selection as its own thread a couple days ago.Unless he grades out even higher, this looks like a terrific fit.

Thanks, he's be the #2 dynasty rookie pick behind Spiller in dynasty leagues

 

[Blackjacks]

Jacksonville Jaquars: D. Morgan DE

Tennessee Titans: Joe Haden CB

San Francisco 49ers: to Cle Carlos Dunlap DE

Even if you totally dismiss Tebow as an NFL QB, if the next 2 picks after Morgan are both Gators that a lot of people see as Top 10 talent, the Jags front office will take a lot of heat. Derrick Morgan makes a lot of sense according to their on-field needs, I'm just saying the pick will NOT be popular. Of course, the Derrick Harvey/Reggie Nelson picks haven't exactly wroked out great for them either.

Funny thing. I actually thought of the Harvey pic while passing on Dunlap. I didn't think Nelson was that big of a flop but you woul dknow better than I.I keep seeing Tebow going there and I get what people are saying but this is a team that is competing for the playoffs and i can't see them taking a guy with a third round grade to help the PR. Maybe I'm wrong though

 

[Blackjacks]

Broncos have so many other needs than WR even if Marshall leaves.

Let's see. Who do they have if Marshall leaves? Abd aren;t they in a pass heavy offense?They need weapons for the offense to work and Bryant is a weapon

 

[Blackjacks]

The only way the Rams don't take in rd 1 Suh is if Tampa Bay wants to swap places and throws in both second rounders.

Eventhough I think Suh is an absolute stud I would move down in a second if I could get both #2's. I would then want the Rams to draft Berry if available

 

[Sinrman]

As much as I complain about the Lion's O-line, I would be MAAAAAD if they passed on Eric Berry. Our defense is atrocious and even worse than our offense... Berry is a beast and would help them tremendously!

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

As much as I complain about the Lion's O-line, I would be MAAAAAD if they passed on Eric Berry. Our defense is atrocious and even worse than our offense... Berry is a beast and would help them tremendously!

In a division with Cutler, Favre and Rodgers a ballhawk like Berry might be a very wise pick. Plus recent rumblings have the Lions satisfied at tackle with Backus. The Lions need to accumulate talent on D regardless of need.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

I'm in the minority here but I don't think Suh will go #1. The Rams will take Clausen.

Are you trying to set the Rams back another 5 years ? Like they haven't suffered enough ? Give us Suh

You need a stability at the QB position if you want to consistently win in this league. I know most Ram fans don't want to get sucked into drafting a bust at QB but I really like Clausen. He is experienced, can make all the throws and is quite accurate.

While I agree Berry is a STUD you need to protect Stafford. He is your future and you need to keep him healthy. I like what I saw out of Delmas this year, not saying he is Berry at all but he is definetly someone to build your secondary around.

The logical pick might very well might be OT but I've read somewhere that the Lions appear to be satisfied with Backus. The consensus seems to be that this year isn't very deep at OT. Do you think the top OT is worth a top three pick?

 

[ty247]

Like someone said above, the rams already have a lot of money tied up in their defensive line.. add on that the defense has improved under spags as the season has progressed

St.Louis will be drafting a QB first overall, I'd bet my house on it.

I wouldn't make that bet.I would feel much safer saying Michael Vick would be starting for the Rams next year than us drafting a qb with our first selection.

 

[ffwebster]

I agree with the above statement. I will take your house. The Rams have never drafted a QB in the first round, never.

Dude, they're 6th in the NFL passing!!! What's your point again? They need to draft a WR in the first? Not happening.

Never happen, not in the first round. They need D help more than anything. Grant is just fine.

While the lions might be satisfied with Backsu their other OT Cherilus stinks. And Backus isnt all that great either.The lions have sooo many needs. They probably dont take Berry because they have Delmas and a Saftey at #2 regardless of his studlyness doesnt make senseOT or DL for the lions

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The Lions real offensive line problems are at guard, not tackle. The tackles aren't great by any stretch, but they aren't the worst either and not bad enough to spend a high first. The defense is where this pick has to go, preferably the line. The combines will change things, but without knowing what will happen, I would take Gerald McCoy right now. We badly need help on the defensive line. I'm not a really big fan of Okung or I might think different. I think he is a top 10 caliber player, but not a top 2.

 

[chippymaroongold]

The Lions have so many needs and in all honesty.....I believe th is pick will be traded for multiple picks (due to depth of DF Line in draft). Beyond that, they really need playmakers and I believe if the pick is kept, they will take Suh (if there) or Berry (who will play corner for them and where he is actually projected to play inthe NFL). I believe RD2 will be a DE or OL and you may see multiple DL and OL players taken in this draft.

 

[Mario Kart]

The Packers will not touch RB the first day of the draft. Ryan Grant is similar to Roger Craig and they are using him in that manner in their offense. He might not have the receiving yards Craig did but that is due to rule changes, much better WR's than those San Fran teams.

Packers go CB or OL the first day. They need a CB to bring up because of Harris and need one because Woodson might move to safety and/or age. OL speaks for itself.

 

[Andy Herron]

I don't see Dallas going WR early.They have Austin, Roy Williams, Crayton and Olgetree.Oh bye the way, Jason Witten at TE. They are thin at OL for backups. I see them grabbing an offensive lineman.

I totally agree.

Grant doenst get enough because there is no flash in his game. He reminds me a lot of Edgar and Dorsey in that he just gets it done. He is not used in the passing game that those guys, but the Packers have a lot of options when it comes to the passing game.What really stinks is the Packers might have solid CBs on the roster in Lee and Blackmon, but they cant stay healthy to prove themselves. With Williams they would have two solid CBs to replace the older guys. I dont see Woodson moving to safety for a couple years.Comment that the D needs help is a bunch of crap. It is a top ranked D right now and should only get better with time. It could use more depth but what team doesnt have that issue.

I would love to see us trade out of the #2 spot. But very rarely do we ever get to see a monster trade like that happen. It's too much for teams to trade up to that. Perhaps if Suh somehow dropped to #2 a team might want to trade up, but I would love to see us take Suh if the Rams passed on him.I agree with you all that Delmas has looked great. I will admit that I scoffed at the pick last year, but am very glad to state that I was wrong. Very rarely do I have to admit that in regards to picks by the Lions. But if we were to draft Berry, couldn't he be plugged in at FS, since Delmas is the SS?

 

[Rovers]

If the Jets hgo offense, it will be an O lineman I believe. I think they sign B Edwards. Edwards still drops balls, but he is a threat, and what surprised me was how committed he has been to blocking. Ryan likes him for that reason alone. I think Edwards is happy as a Jet.

I think Ryan goes D, either a 3-4 DE, a safety, or if the Jets see one they like, a NT. If the Jets sign a WR, who gets cut (presuming they sign Edwards)? They like Clowney who is one of the fastest WR's in the NFL, Brad Smith is a ST's ace as is W Wright, and Smith can run the "Seminole". There is no room for a WR on the roster.

The other possibility is an RB. That may not sound reasonably possible, but Jones is getting up there, Washington, even if he re-signs may start 2010 on the PuP, and Greene has fumbled too often, gets dinged up often as a part time player, still doesn't pick up a blitz well and has yet to become a good reciever out of the backfield.

The Jets are and will remain a run first team. If they go offense, it will be to shore up the running game, a lineman or RB.

Kerry Rhodes is in the dog house. The Jets could use a safety that isn't afraid to hit. Rhodes has not been that guy this year.

A 3-4 DE is a big need. I agree that NT isn't a big need, but it's so important that they'll grab one if they see one they love. I could see them going heavy on the line in the draft, but not in the first round. Their biggest need would be at guard, and I don't know if any guard is worth a first round pick.I think they desperately need a WR. They're weak everywhere at WR except WR2. Whether you consider Cotchery or Edwards the WR1, they're below average for a WR1. The other is probably above average for a WR2, but not far above average. The Jets have awful depth at WR; Clowney is a terrible WR3, Smith does a lot of things but isn't good as a WR4. Marcus Henry never panned out, Stuckey was traded, and Woodhead was converted to RB.Clowney's young, but I don't think he comes close to cutting it yet. Maybe the potential is there, but when you're starting WRs are below average you need more than potential behind them. Smith seems like a hopeless cause at WR and Wallace Wright is strictly a ST guy.The Jets are a running team, but they also have a lot invested in their passing game (D'Brick, Keller, and of course Sanchez). The Jets don't want to become the Ravens, who wasted a great defense with a passing attack that couldn't win a game when they were needed. They desperately need another weapon at receiver. I don't think Braylon is that good, and Cotchery is quiet for long stretches way too often. Keller and Washington could make up for some of the difference, but the Jets could really use another good receiver. As it stands, the Jets 3-WR package -- a staple for a lot of teams -- is well below average. I'd put WR as the team's biggest need in the off-season.They could use another corner (couldn't every team?) and a pass rusher (ditto), but at this point, there's only marginal improvement you can make to the runaway top pass defense in the NFL. The pass offense is bad, and if you want to see Sanchez become a very good QB, they need to give him weapons. I'm fine with either an athletic, monster type of WR or a precise, route-running guy, but they need someone else. In the middle rounds, I think they look to draft the replacement for Faneca and Woody, although I haven't heard anything about how Matt Slausen's doing.
