Blackjacks Mock Draft (1 Viewer)

DETROIT - Matthew Stafford

The more I'm seeing the more I think this is a lock. The Lions took Stafford out to dinner 2 nights before the combine to get to know him better and when told he wasn't throwing at the combine the Lions personel said "that's fine, we've seen what we need to". I can't argue with the selection however I do think their draft would work out better if they took an olineman here and tried t get Sanchez with their 2nd #1.

STL - Andre Smith

I keep seeing Monroe or Smith here and even alot of Crabtree lately, While those would all be good selections I still feel like Smith is the best Olineman in this draft and the selection for the Rams.

KC - Eugene Monroe-

I'll be honest, this is the hardest pick that changes the whole look of the first round. While part of me thinks they go Curry the other side of me thinks that they'll readdress their oline and start with their offense. It wouldn't surprise me if they even went Crabtree but when it comes down to it I think they go oline with Monroe

SEATTLE - Michael Crabtree

And Seattle fans are jumping up and down in the streets and they found thier offensive weapon for the next 10-12 years. I don't think there is any way Seattle would pass up Crabtree if he is available for them. He is a perfect fit for a need and great value

CLEVELAND - Aaron Curry

This defense needed a lift and they get it with the 5th pick n the 09 NFL draft. Aaron Curry is a stud and IMO the best defensive player in the draft. He will walk into training camp as the leader of defense and I think single handedly change Cleveland's defense into a top 10 D this season.

CINNCINNATI - B.J. Raji - This team needs alot of help but they really need help stopping the run. Raji was a manchild at the Senior week and I think he will keep preforming through the combine and campus workouts. It is no secret that Cinncy wanted Ellis last year so when Raji is available with their pick I don't see them skipping on him.

OAKLAND - Jeremy Maclin

Yep you guessed it. Al Davis likes speed and Maclin has alot of it. I think this is a good fit for Okland but I guess it just depends on how Russell is going to mature. I will say I don't even think Russell can over throw Maclin. I really think Maclin would have a good chance at winning rookie of the year if he lands in a good place. I just don't know if Oakland is a good place or not.

JAX - Jason Smith

This is a great fit. Jax needs offensive line help and Jason Smith brings experience and skill with him. BREAKING NEWS: Jacksonville wants to run the ball......you need a good oline to do that. Barnes should be gone by the draft which will just asure a pick of Smith or another olineman as long as one is available.

GREEN BAY - Malcolm Jenkins

Woodson is a safety by NFL standards now days and Malcom Jenkins is the best corner on the board. I don't think the Packers have a lot of needs on offense. I definetly think their secondary is the #1 offseason need. Jenkins starts day #1.

SAN FRANSISCO - Mark Sanchez

A perfect fit. Local kid goes to a franchise known for great qb's that has been less than spectacular lately. Sanchez could probably afford to sit a year behind S. Hill and learn the offense before being thrown into the wolfden. I think Sanchez would fit in SF very nicely and be a great long term pick

BUFFALO - Brin Orakpo

Maybe Buffalo thinks about taking the first running back off the board due to the problems with Lynch but since I don't know how serious the disipline action will be I'm not going to touch that. DLine is a spot where I think Buffalo could get alittle deeper. I do think Orakop will be the #1 DE as of draft day.

DENVER - Knowshown Moreno

I know Denver has tons of problems on the defensive side but can u name who is going to run the ball for them. Are you saying names like Ryan Torian, Peyton Hillis or Michael Pittman right now? If you r you understand why I am selecing a rb in the first round for them. Moreno fits in perfect with the one cut offense. Moreno would be the first pick in all dynasty drafts if he went here and a top 15 runningback in redrafts.

WASHINGTON - Everette Brown

Washington needs a pass rush very bad. I look at this team and I like alot bout it but I don;t love anything about it. I really like their defense but they are extremly lackng getting pressure on the qb. I believe this is their biggest need and Brown would be an immediate upgrade for them.

NEW ORLEANS - Vontae Davis

I don't think everyone is buying into this guy yet. Some people r high on him and see him as a mid first rounder like me and some think he'll fins his way into the 2nd round. I think after the combine he will be rated as the #2 corner and be a 13-20 guy. Vontae is just so physical that some team will fall in love with him. He has the ability to be a GREATcorner but he also has an attitude that could get him in trouble with his new team. I think he is worth the risk.

HOUSTON - Percy Harvin

Houston is building a very nice offense and by adding Harvin to AJ, Walter and Daniels you would have defensive coordinators losing thier minds. I'm still not sold on Slaton and I could see Houston drafting Wells but for arguements sake let's stay with Harvin.

SAN DIEGO - Rey Maualuga

This would be a dream come true for San Diego. I'm not ready to sa the Chargers are going to part ways with LT just yet. Saying that I could see them drafting a rb in the third or fourth round but in the first would leave a bad taste in some of their players mouth. SD has a window that is closing alittle and they better hurry up and jump in it while its still open. Maualuga is a monster and will pair with Merriman (hopefully) to be a feared combination.

NEW YORK JETS - Aaron Maybin

I like the Jets looking dline here. I think they would look rb if one of the top two fell but they didn't. I think they would strongly consider Sanchez here s well but I think Clemons needs a shot before giving up on him. Maybin could be a nice surprise for the Jets if he reaches his potenitl.

Chicago - DJ Moore

Everyone was passing on Chicago last year. Moore would bring a nice other option to the Bears opposite of Nathan Vasher. Moore is a very safe pick that could have a nice career in the NFL.

TB - Chris Wells

Well the top 2 picks are spoken for in dynasty drafts. TB is built to be a physicl running team. They have a very god oline, IMO, and Wells is the bruising type back they need. The only question about Wells is his desire to play. If he wants to be great, he has the kill to. If he does or not will be answered eventually. I wouldn't mind rolling the dice on him.

DETROIT - Michael Ohler

Most people in Detroit would be pretty happy if they could come out of their first 2 picks in the first round with their qb of the future and their left tckle for the future as well. Ohler was thought of as a top ten pick most of the season untill al the juniors came out. Ohler is a nice player with nice size and could be a statue for Stafford for the nezt 10-12 years.

PHILLY - Lesean McCoy

Brian Westbrook can't stay healthy and the Eagles need a dynamic player at the position for thier offense to run properly. McCoy has alot of the same tools as Westy. He can catch, block and is extremly shifty. He would be a great heir apparent for Westbook and could end up being the best player drafted 4 ynasty purposes. I think McCoy is the best all around rb in this class.

MINNESOTA - Darius Butler

The Minn. secondary is weak. Butler is a nice player that can help this secondary. With the pressure the front four can get for this defense they need guys who can cover in the secondary and catch the ball if they get their hands on it. I really see this guy shooting up the boards in the next couple of weeks.

NEW ENGLAND - Brian Cushing

Just a perfect pick for NE. He just seems like a NE guy. Maybe not the fastest linebacker and maybe not the strongest either but he is just a football player and for some reason New England always finds those guys. It is a good fit as well. NE needs to get youth at the linebacker position. They started the youth ovement with Mayo and Cushing will be the next guy to start the rebuilding process.

ATLANTA - Brandon Pettigrew

Mr. Pedigrew meet your new best friend Mr. Ryan. This offense is starting to look scary. Pettigre fits in perfect. Atl wants to be a run first tem and Pedigree can block extremly good but they also want to have alittle explosiveness as well and Pedigree can add to that as well. Great pick for ATL.

MIAMI - Clay Matthews

Just like the New England pick this guy just seems like a Parcells guy. Very disciplined and very smart. Don;t get me wrong he has serious skillz as well but some tems draft football players and I think Miami will be one of them.

BALTIMORE - Larry English

Balt. is gonna lose one of their LB's so here is the replacement. I don;t hink they will lose Ray Lewis and they tagged Suggs so that leaves Bart Scott s the likely guy out. English could fill in for him nicely.

INDY - Jerry Peria

Indy will always need help in the middle on defense. Peria looked like a stud at the Senior Bowl and really raised his stock. The Colts have need help in the middle the last 4 or 5 years and hopefully he could fit the bill.

PHILLY - William Moore

Brian Dawkins is one of my favorite players in the NFL but he is getting a little long in the tooth. Moore would be a nice addition to a very good defense. As with the pick earlier of McCoy, the Eagles like to pick their replacements while the players are still playing. Probably one of the best drafting teams in the NFL.

NEW YORK GIANTS - Darrius Heyward-Bey

I just can't see them going with Steve Smith and D. Hixon as their future. Heyward-Bey could launch himself as a sure lock 1st round guy if he runs how alot of people expect him to at the combine this weekend

TENNESSE - Tyson Jackson

Good guy for depth on the dline. Jackson has good size and good speed. I think Fischer could turn him into very nice player in a couple of years

ARIZONA - Sen'Derrick Marks

BUILDING DEPTH. The Cards aren;t going to be use to picking this late but they re gonna have to learn that when picking this late you have to tke the best player available. That is how good teams stay good.

PITTSBURGH - William Beatty

This oline needs some help. The ywant to be a powerful run first team. Beatty will be a nice addition to a descent line. He probbly won;t strt right off the bat but Pitt does have some guys that are FA's so you never know.

Smoke screen on Detroit's part. They will not take Stafford with the 1st pick. I think it will be one of the Smiths (Jason or Andre).

 
Denver taking an offensive player...... really?
I know it sounds strange because they have so many holes on defense but wouldn't you say they also have a huge hole at rb?
:goodposting: They tied for 2nd in the league with a 4.8 yard per carry average last season. Hillis filled in brilliantly while he was healthy. They were 12th in the league in rushing yards gained despite all the injuries and a defense that forced the offense out of the running game in many games. Denver is keeping the same RB coach and OL coach so the zone blocking scheme will be back. Denver will probably take a middle round back to pair with Hillis. Word is, they are still high on Torain and they may add a free agent back as well. Denver needs upward of 8 starters on defense right now, so I do not see them going Moreno or any RB at 12. This is an offense that was 2nd in the league in yardage last year. I think the defense gets the early round attention it needs.
 
Good effort

I dont like:

Doesnt look like Jason Smith will fall to #8

No way Moreno goes #12, if any back goes that high, it'll be Wells

I dont see the Jets taking an OLB after they took Gholston so high last year and gave Pace big money (and Pace worked out)

Oher probably wont fall to 20, maybe not even to 15

Peria Jerry is way too low

How do you see Marks fitting in a 3-4?

Beatty is all finesse and it looks like the Steelers are going to commit to Starks long term at LT

I Like:

Curry to Cleveland, but I bet he goes higher than #5

Orakpo to Buffalo... again if he lasts that long

Maualuga to SD, although Denver should be all over him at #12

Butler a "surprise" first rounder - although after Tuesday it may not be a surprise

English to Baltimore - mean streak fits in perfectly

Laurinaitis out of the first

:goodposting: I dont know why everyone discounts Hillis. He was the answer before he got hurt.

No i wouldn't say that. RB is the easiest position to put in a no game guy and have him still be successful. Plus they have a top 5 passing offense which more than makes up for any run deficiencies they may have.Their entire defense is crap. Defensive tackles, defensive ends, linebackers, safeties, cornerbacks. Their entire defense is one massive hole.

If they are looking for starters on defense don't you think they would be smarter to go after older players in free agency who can start right way instead of a rookie who might be a year or two away?
 
Good effort I dont like:

Doesnt look like Jason Smith will fall to #8 (While I could see him gong earlier I like the 7 players before him)

No way Moreno goes #12, if any back goes that high, it'll be Wells (I really think Wells's attitude well prevent him from being the #1 rb taken)

I dont see the Jets taking an OLB after they took Gholston so high last year and gave Pace big money (and Pace worked out) good point. (I was confused on where to go with them if Sanchez is gone)

Oher probably wont fall to 20, maybe not even to 15 (maybe not)

Peria Jerry is way too low (didn't see a lot of teams needing a DT)

How do you see Marks fitting in a 3-4? He looked pretty immoveable this year when I saw him but you bring up a good point. He probbly is better suited for a 4-3. (He might be able to be moved out to an end in the NFL but your probably right on that one.)

Beatty is all finesse and it looks like the Steelers are going to commit to Starks long term at LT (depth, depth, depth)

I Like:

Curry to Cleveland, but I bet he goes higher than #5 (with the news of Crabtree today you might be right)

Orakpo to Buffalo... again if he lasts that long (they need a pass rusher)

Maualuga to SD, although Denver should be all over him at #12 (Denver could use alot)

Butler a "surprise" first rounder - although after Tuesday it may not be a surprise (one of my favorite layers in this draft)

English to Baltimore - mean streak fits in perfectly (I loved this fit also)

Laurinaitis out of the first (i see him dropping just like Conner did last year.)

My guess is they'll do both. Sign FA defensive players and draft defensive players.

You might be right but I have a good feeling that they will pick Moreno as long as he is available, with their first pick. They might trade down but I think they end with him when all is said and done

 
This looks like a mock written by a fantasy nut and a Missouri Homer. Denver taking a RB. Maclin to the Raiders....I just think this is a Fantasy Football owner's mock and not a legit NFL draft

They need one don't they?Don't you think it is possible that Maclin goes in the top ten?

And the last statement......my favorite rb in the class backing up Westbrook in Philly and the #2 qb riding the pine for a year...yeah sounds like fantasy!!!!!

While I don't agree with the pick of Jenkins if it fell that way (and I like the pick)....to say that secondary is their #1 need right now is out there. As is saying a guy who played pro bowl corner mos tof the year is just a safety by NFL standards now.

What do you think the Packers #1 spot to address then?Did Woodson make the pro bowl?

Is he going to be another year older this year?

I believe Woodson is in his mid to later 30's. I might have said it wrong earlier as Woodson has changed his stripes in GB. However he is getting a little older and he might have to change his normal position. I wasn't degrading him cause like I said earlier , he has changed to help his team, but age is age.

Yes...Woodson made the probowl. He and Nick Collins. 2 members of that secondary.#1 need? Defensive line/LB With the switch to the 3-4...that is a much bigger need.

Oh...and I reread my post...I meant to say I don't disagree with the pick of Jenkins if it fell the way your draft goes. I like that pick.

Woodson is getting older. Which is why they have Tramon Williams who started while Harris was hurt and while Woodson was playing Safety. Not that he is yet on Woodson's level of course. In addition, they drafted Pat Lee last year to groom to eventually replace someone. That said...Jenkins is better than both of them and Ted Thompson is a best player available kind of guy.

I also like Bigby to get back healthy and be that hard hitter that he was showing late in 2007.

Other possible needs. OT (if Giacomini is not ready and they want Colledge to play LG still and have him as the LT)...it does not look like they are signing Tauscher.

However. Most tackles here appear to be LTs. If one of the top 3 does not fall. I don't like going line here.

No OG seems worth the #9. They have Sitton for RG...but if they wanted to move Colledge to RT even, the LG spot could be a need.

Precisely. We don't have the right D-line personnel for the 3-4, and we also need to upgrade our LBs. Secondary is our least pressing need on defense.
