[FavreCo]

I can see Baltimore passing up on the good QB's and taking a hack but I can't see Atlanta passing up on a potential franchise QB.

Pack hs no need for Felix Jones. It will be a DB most likely.

 

[corpcow]

Personally, I don't think the Jets will take a RB - we have bigger needs and with TJ/Leon I think we're actually solid there. I wouldn't be surprised to see us take Dorsey.

Round 1

Good work. I went through and offered up my thoughts. I love mocks. Thanks for taking the time, Dynasty Man. 1. MIA - DE Chris Long/Virginia - very possible but I think Dorsey is the pick just because Keith Traylor is about 40 and Vonnie Holliday is not young either. Their DEs right now are Jason Taylor and Matt Roth but Quentin Moses was a 3rd rd pick last year and I think he could do the job if need be. 2. NE (f/SF) - MLB James Laurinaitis/Ohio State - I like the concept but Ohio State plays a 4-3 and NE is a base 3-4 package that requires a lot out of their WILB. Again, possible but I just don't think it's a real life fit. 3. NYJ - HB Darren McFadden/Arkansas - If he is there - absolutely agree. 4. ATL - DT Glenn Dorsey/LSU - If Dorsey was here but I do think it's going to be a QB. 5. STL - DE Vernon Gholston/Ohio State - Interesting. I like it. 6. OAK - T Jake Long/Michigan - Sure. 7. CIN - DT Sedrick Ellis/USC - I like it. 8. KC - T Sam Baker/USC - Agree on the position, I hear mixed opinions on Baker's stock though. 9. BAL - QB Andre Woodson/Kentucky - Probably. I don't realy like Woodson personally but I'm also not working in the NFL. 10. NO - CB Malcolm Jenkins/Ohio State - Good. 11. HOU - S Kenny Phillips/Miami (FL) - I think corner here. Will Demps is probably servicable enough to not warrant taking this position in the 1st for HOU. 12. DEN - OLB Dan Connor/Penn State - Agree. 13. CAR - QB Matt Ryan/Boston College - Agree although I think Matt Ryan goes to Atlant at #4. 14. CHI - QB Brian Brohm/Louisville- Sure. 15. PHI - WR Malcolm Kelly/Oklahoma - "Andy Reid doesn't draft WRs in the 1st"16. WAS - DE Calais Campbell/Miami (FL) - I like this. Andy Dufresne doesn't think he's coming out so we'll wait and see on him. 17. ARI - CB Mike Jenkins/South Florida - Sure. 18. BUF - TE Fred Davis/USC - I don't think he grades out as a 1st rd pick yet. maybe after the combine?19. MIN - WR Limas Sweed/Texas - Sure. 20. DET - CB Aqib Talib/Kansas - Good. 21. DAL (f/CLE) - CB Antoine Cason/Arizona - Nasty. 22. TEN - WR DeSean Jackson/California - I like it. 23. SD - S Reggie Smith/Oklahoma - He can play S or CB. I like it. 24. SEA - HB Jonathan Stewart/Oregon - I think Mendenhall will be 2nd RB off the board but I think the position fits here. 25. TB - WR Adarius Bowman/Oklahoma State - Sure. 26. NYG - OLB Keith Rivers/USC - I don't think this is really their top need. 27. JAX - DE Tyson Jackson/LSU - Good. maybe not this player but this position makes a lot of sense. 28. PIT - G Michael Oher/Ole Miss - I like it. 29. GB - HB Felix Jones/Arkansas - Sure. 30. SF (f/IND) - DE/OLB Derrick Harvey/Florida - Sure. 31. DAL - HB Steve Slaton/West Virginia - Sure. 32. NE - No Pick

 

[EBF]

Gotta figure either Miami or Atlanta takes a QB. When was the last time there wasn't a QB taken in the top 3 picks? 2000?

I think Houston and Seattle are two most likely destinations for Jonathan Stewart. Chicago, Arizona, and Tennessee will also be in the mix. Houston makes a lot of sense since a franchise RB is about the only thing their offense is missing.

I don't know if Slaton will be a first round pick when all is said and done. There are some question marks that could push him into round 2.

I think McFadden, Stewart, Mendenhall, and Jones will probably go in the first. Smith could sneak in there if he shows well in workouts.

 

[Bill]

new england will trade down. if they do pick 2nd they would never take a LB-they prefer getting experienced LB's via waiver or trade.

 

[cstu]

It just wouldn't be right if the Pats are able to add Dorsey to their DL.

 

[Burning Sensation]

It just wouldn't be right if the Pats are able to add Dorsey to their DL.

It is not right the Pats are picking two in the draft, no matter who they pick. However, assuming the Pats lack of run game is because Maroney and company just are not good, and they add Mcfadden, that wouldnt be fair. I think that will be what they do, assuming they can not trade down.

 

[Mr. Peterson]

The Bills offense doesn't really call for a playmaking TE. They brought in Royal for his blocking ability and that's what Jauron likes from his TE's. I can't see the Bills passing up either of those WR's if they are available.

And how much is this draft gonna suck for the Bills when our 3 opponents in the AFC East are quite possibly picking 1-2-3. That's crazy! All I care about is that the Bills don't have to go up against McFadden twice a year. That would not be cool.

I dont think the Bills will draft a TE in the first, but not because their offense doesnt call for one, but because there is not going to be a TE who is first round worthy. As a Bills fan i would love a TE like Witten or Winslow, as those guys have shown, you dont need a great #2 WR when you have a good pass catching TE. I would especially prefer a good TE with a young QB, as they seem to depend on their TE's more than a veteran would.

 

[candy bar]

I don't see Laurinaitis really going in the top three, I don't think Miami goes DL, and the Jets don't go RB. Dorsey to Atlanta I could see, but I don't think Long slips past St. Louis. Offensive line is a huge need there.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

Jake Long, Chris Long, Sedrick Ellis or Calais Campbell for the Raiders - depending on where they pick.

 

[-primetime-]

why wouldn't NE take McFadden???

 

[((Morpheus))]

i stopped reading after the first four picks

 

[tombonneau]

I'm pretty sure Dorsey is the current #1 consensus. Some workout warrior might displace him, but I think he goes 1. And McFadden will likely go #2, either to NE or the team they trade the pick to.

Yeah, because the top 4 rarely change between December and April.
