I would be satisfied with the Vikings haul if they got Gaines Adams, Jason Hill, and Aundrae Allison. 
I've debated the top 10 to death, so no comment there.
Our 11-19 are pretty much the same. So, good job!
Meriweather ahead of Griffin?
Kalil to the Browns when they just re-upped Fraley for four years?
Otherwise, looks good.

Solid.
Question on this:
57. Philadelphia - Tony Hunt, RB, PSU
67. Cleveland - Antonio Pittman, RB, Ohio State
75. Atlanta - Michael Bush, RB, Louisville
78. Green Bay - Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn
Most 'experts' I've seen don't have Tony Hunt that high. Just wondering why you think he'll go ahead of the others listed.
ETA: Missed the Brian Leonard to NE pick...very surprising. Not sure about that one either.

I like both those picks. Who do the Giants have other than Burress?Who do the Patriots have other than Maroney - who may have a bad shoulder? Brian Leonard is a really intriguing player.Only things that

Best pick IMO
29. Baltimore - Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan
Staley now has a solid chance of getting in the first with his outstanding pro day. He's probably passed Tony Ugoh as the OT3.
Worst Pick IMO
31. Chicago - Drew Stanton, QB, Michigan State
The Bears can afford to gamble on Stanton recovering from his 2006 tailspin and giving them a long term upgrade from Rex Grossman

forgot that... change coming...
Pats traded their 2nd Rounder to the Dolphins for Welker.Leonard to the Pats would be typical Belicheck, but I think they'd go for some versatility for their front 7.
Hunt is supposedly falling because of his pro day, but like Leonard, his value is more in his versatility than his physical attributes. Hunt would be a perfect compliment to Westbrook (as would Leonard). Hunt could fall to the second day, but he's also a great fit for certain teams, so the possible range of the pick he goes at is large.Solid.

if the Texans came out of the first day of draft with AP and Eric Wright id be very happy. Ben Patrick going to the eagle I would not like.(think that would be a waste).
Jammaal Anderson
Dwayne Jarrett
Eric Weddle
Micheal Bush
And if all these cards play out for the Falcons they would get an A+ for day one of the draft. IMO

Only Sammy Morris (presumably signed to be the primary backup), Kevin Faulk (has about 1-2 seasons worth of moderate value left in the tank), Heath Evans (fullback type), Patrick Pass (IR)I like both those picks. Who do the Giants have other than Burress?Who do the Patriots have other than Maroney - who may have a bad shoulder? Brian Leonard is a really intriguing player.
thanks, NFL.com hasnt updated this on their board yet and thats what I was using.change coming
thanks, sorry for the sloppiness folks, this has occupied my entire day and my proofreading skills are suffering for my lack of energy right now.

In other words, next to nothing.Only Sammy Morris (presumably signed to be the primary backup), Kevin Faulk (has about 1-2 seasons worth of moderate value left in the tank), Heath Evans (fullback type), Patrick Pass (IR)I like both those picks.

WR is very much a pressing need for the Giants. Plax is a flake. They can't count on Toomer coming off an ACL tear and entering his 12th season. And Sinorice caught 5 balls last year.
I definitely see the Pats going with some kind of multiuse LB on the first day. I gave them Tim Shaw at the end of the 3rd, but Beason would make sense. When it comes right down to it, the Pats are just about the hardest team to mock, and them having two firsts makes it even harder. I expect them to trade one of them for a 2008 first +, thats just the way they roll, trading down out of a surplus of picks to create a surplus for the next season.

It's a lot harder than it looks.At least you didn't call Manuel Ramirez Manuel Rodriguez and have Anthony Spencer taken twice like I did yesterday.
I ended up giving Kalil to the Steelers in the 2nd, but Im sure he goes earlier than that. I need to fix this.
Didn't the Jets trade the #37 to the Bears?
NFL.comI knew I shouldnt have trusted them.

Your GB picks are spot on. If they can snag Irons in the 3rd, I'll be happy, and I'd be ecstatic with Revis in the 1st.
As an aside, what do you (and Andy "Jason" Dufrene) do for a living that you have the time to do these mocks? Very impressive efforts.

I'm a computer programmer that's given about 3 hours of work to do per week that I milk into 40.I'm terribly overpaid, but don't tell anyone okay?
I had Kalil at 36 originally. Kalil is definitely on a par with Mangold, who went in the first last year. Arizona would make sense too.

To pick nits, I don't see the Pats taking a first round RB after just burning a first rounder on Maroney last year.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
Precious few saw them burning a first rounder on Maroney last year when they already had Dillon.
That was my story until three months ago when I quit my programming job. Right now I do some law stuff and computer stuff part time, but Im really a full time football writer at this point (I cashed in my retirement to buy a year to get rolling), spending most of my day getting NFLDG off the ground - Im one part Joe/David one part Clayton one part Bloom over there.

to be honest with you, it kinda sucks from time to time. But if I switched jobs, I'd have to work twice as hard to earn half as much so, here I am!I hate you.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
Oh yeah. You're right. My bad.Still, the two back system worked well for them until Maroney got hurt. And now they have no Dillon, so they're back to having one back again.

Honestly if they stay at 5 i see it 25/25/25/25 b/w Branch, Adams, Anderson, and Brown, but the fact that their board would look something like that makes it very smart for them to trade down a team that wants to snipe just one of those guys or a team that just cant live without a Landry/Willis/Peterson.Detroit and Arizona are likely to trade down imo, I just dont project trades in mocks.
I know that I just got sick of having my job not line up with anything I cared about. It was great to have so much free time, but it began to feel real empty.to be honest with you, it kinda sucks from time to time.

First, Leonard is not just an RB. He's an RB/FB/H-back.Second, I can't say I'm sure what they will do, but I also can't say I'm sure what they won't do. Mocking the Pats is guesswork, and I happen to think Leonard and Pats make a nice marriage, and having two firsts allows them to reach for him (although I dont think late first is a reach for a player like Leonard who will translate to Ws)

I just can't see the Lions going safety with their 2nd round pick.

Some more thoughts:
You don't think the Lions' tackle rotation of Backus, Scott, and Foster is good enough for a Martz offense?
You seem high on Ikaika Alama-Francis. What catches your eye?
I think David Harris is as much like DeMeco Ryans as Paul Posluszny is.
Josh Beekman hasn't done himself any good in the post season, from what I've read. Is he really a 2nd rounder?
That's a long way for Buster Davis to fall.

They should seriously think about it since they lost Holt to Arizona. I know he's not the greatest, but I'm not sure about a combo of Bullocks and Kennedy.
That was more of a BPA than a need pick. I see Griffin falling out of the first, but not very far. I understand your skepticism, and if I re-did this mock right now, that would be one of a few dozen picks that I could very easily change.
This is the dilemma of not including trades in a mock. Detroit really really should trade down to the highest bidder. Since I won't project that, I take the player that makes the most sense for them at 2, and that's Thomas. The DL they would look at just don't give the bang for the buck - theyre not as much of a bluechipper as Thomas is, and they aren't at as important a position as LT. I feel pretty sure that they won't go with an offensive skill player either. Scott can move inside and play some guard, and Foster is really nothing special.
He's basically a rawer version of Jamaal Anderson who happened to tear a pec in the Hula Bowl. He's massive, very athletic, and the player he *could* be is off the charts. I am also giving some props here to Rob Rang who mentioned IAF when I asked who could be a surprise first rounder.Interview with Rob Rang
I came close to putting Harris much nearer to the top of the second. He answered a lot of questions in the predraft period.
He might not be by this point. He's a mauler who projects to play some center too, but chances are he's a 3rd rounder with a chance of falling out of the first day.
Harris has passed him, and ILB just dont tend to go that early. Some team could really fall in love with him and take him in the mid to late 2nd.

I was considering waiting until after the USC results, but I had a day free to knock this out. 4.67/4.62 is still not all that great.Time to bump Jarrett back into the first round after his pro-day.

37" vert is though...I'll bet anyone even money Jarret goes first round with a 4.62 and 37".I was considering waiting until after the USC results, but I had a day free to knock this out. 4.67/4.62 is still not all that great.Time to bump Jarrett back into the first round after his pro-day.

#92 - 3.29 went from Baltimore to Buffalo in the Willis deal. (and I just looked on NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/draft/drafttracker/round/round3 and they agree )
