FBG NFL MOCK DRAFT BY THE NUMBERS (PICKS) (1 Viewer)

There should be a list on the bottom of page one for guys that ditch mocks etc. Bottom line don't sign up if you don't have the time. At least faede had the common decency to post that he needs a replacement. Most just allow 20 hours to go by before they are replaced.

 
OK, in the Dream draft thread, the cowboy owner says he'd take Roddy White if they got Barron in the first. So with the 2.10 pick, Dallas selectes Roddy White, WR UABNY Giants are on the clock. :football:

 
At 2.11, NYG selectLuis Castillo - DT - NorthwesternThe Giants have very little depth at the DT position, and William Joseph has not shown much in his first two seasons to indicate that he's going to be an elite player at the position. Castillo is big, strong, and fast (6-3, 305, 4.79 in the 40), with upside. I also considered looking at the S, LB, and RB positions here, but I think Castillo is a good value here, and a good fit for the team's needs.

 
Jesus if this draft was any slower it would be going backwards...lol. I have been waiting for the Vikings 2nd round pick for like a week.

 
If possible instead of Roddy White the Cowboys would like to select Dan Cody. DE Oklahoma. I had sent a PM to nightshift with my picks sorry dealing with stolen laptop from work so haven't been on as much as usual.

 
Absolutely great pick by the Giants. That was the player I was hoping for for the Vikings. He is very underrated and I wouldn't be susprised to see him go in the first round.gateway-me too.

Didn't know a lot about him prior to researching this pick, but he seems like he's got the measurables, heart, and upside to be a real force in the middle. I think it's too early to give up on Joseph, but the Giants don't have much of anything at the position. I could also see them drafting a RB here with Tiki getting up there, and no one of note at the backup position. One of the things they'll definitely focus on is putting talent around Eli, so a WR or RB wouldn't surprise me at all.

 
Jason campbell would be a good pick. Green has said RB,QB in the first two rounds and Campbell is shooting up the boards.

 
The Panthers select:M Barber III RB U Minn.I like Barber for this offense. He's been compared to Travis Henry and I think that's a great fit in Carolina. Foster is not a between the tackles runner, so even if he stays healthy and fulfills his promise, there should be room for the occasional Barber carry. And if Foster isn't everything he showed in that first preseason game, Barber can carry the load for the next several years for the Panthers.

The Kansas City Chiefs select Justin Tuck, DE from ND.After picking one of the top corners in the 1st, KC gets one of the most pure pass rushers in the draft :yes:

 
Houston Texans select Barrett Ruud LB NebraskaVery productive ILB at Nebraska with better than expected athletic ability. Looks to be great in reading plays and has natural instints for the position. Because of the Texans off season moves, he will have the opportunity to contribute immediately.

The Bengals Select - Ernest Shazor - SS - Michigan

Cincinnati needs a big Safety to compliment Madieu and one that can help stop the run. They really don't have an option on the roster to fill this need and I feel Shazor can step in right away as a starter at SS and improve this defense. Shazor is a big hitter and better in coverage than many think. He will make some mistakes in coverage from being to agressive. They say he is slipping because of slow 40 times, but he looks good on the football field and that's what matters most.

 
The Minnesota Vikings select PK Mike Nugent from Ohio State University with the 49th pick in the 2005 NFL draft.Explanation to follow.

I think this is a good pick... I considered him for the Cowboys 2nd round pick but with Dan Cody still on the board felt he was a better pick.. Tuck was around 4th on my list at that point.
 
In the end I chose Mike Nugent for the Vikings. It was a very hard pick but I felt that Nugent, the best kicker to come out since Janikowski-other than Nate Kaeding, fills a huge hole for the Vikings. Nugent had a great senior year and was outstanding throughout his college career. He is a good kickoff specialist and can be counted on to make big kicks. It solidifies the position for the Vikings for the next 5-10 years.I hate spending a 2nd round pick on a kicker and certainly hadn't planned on it. I had a list of guys I wanted in the 2nd round and none fell. I really wanted to take Luis Castillo to be the third DT for the Vikes but NYG picked him. KC took Justin Tuck.So with my pick I saw four solid options. 1-best player available. That would be WR Roddy White from UAB. White is a certain 1st rounder but fell in this draft for unknown reasons. He has great size, very good speed, and no character issues. If I hadn't taken Clayton at 18 I would have taken White. Mel Kiper has White as the 12th best player in the draft this year. I just couldn't see White joining the Vikes because Burleson had 1000 yards last year and will be 1a/1b with Clayton in this scenario. Robinson is a decent third/fourth WR and is a red zone target. He is also making over $2 million a year. The Vikes recently signed Travis Taylor to compete for the 3rd WR. He was the 10th pick overall for Baltimore and has good size. I personally think he was in a horrible situation and will susprise a lot of people this year with his talent. Kelly Campbell is a ? with his legal troubles but he is a great 5th WR with his speed. you can count on him to make one big play a game.2-Fix a position. Take the kicker early because he won't drop to the 3rd round. I did this.3-Take a DT to back up the starters. There is only one DT that I think will be gone by the Vikes 3rd round pick and he is undersized. I may take a DT next round or the Vikes would take one a little later in the draft. The Vikes are an injury and a starter needing a breather away from having Spencer Johnson and Steve Martin in on an important down. Not good.4-Take undesized DE/OLB Demarcus Ware from Troy to be a rush specialist. I think he might be gone by this time and i don't think he will be a full time RDE so I crossed him off. It was really hard to choose a kicker over Roddy White but felt that the Vikes just did not need another 3rd/4th/5th WR. Nugent solves a huge problem for the Vikes. Nugent equals one more win a season and he is no ordinary kicker.Also I really wish Castillo fell.

 
St Louis Rams select:

DEMARCUS WARE, DE TROY ST

6'4, 251

A fine athlete with a nose for the ball. Has very good initial quickness and top-end speed. Anticipates the snap count well and wins a lot of battles with his first-step quickness. Shows the ability to turn the corner with good body lean and explosiveness as an edge rusher. Shows good closing burst to the quarterback as a pass rusher. He is active and instinctive versus the run.

Another guy I strongly considered with the Cowboys 2nd round pick. Great measurables.
 
I don't want to be the cause of this draft grinding. Since nobody stepped up to replace me.....Green Bay selects S Josh Bullocks.Pretty much a no brainer. With Pool, Shazor and Davis off the board, Bullocks is the next safety on the list. Considering the Packer depth chart has Mark Roman and Todd Franz as the only safeties, it was an absolute need. Bullocks is probably the best fit for Bates' new defense and while it would have been nice to see if he fell to the packers next pick, the risk was just too great to do so.Josh Bullocks is probably the best pure Free Safety in the draft and is an incredible ball hawk. He'll fit perfectly and with his stock rising, the Packers just cannot take the chance that he will not be there with the 58 pick.

 
BAP on my list is a DT. And while I believe in BAP, with Shroud and Henderson on roster and Shaun Cody(he's an end, I swear!) in the first I just can't pull the trigger. OT is a need but talent does not equal draft position for that pick now. WR or CB are needs and there's talent around. Problem is too much talent. Like the first round this would be a trade down spot. Looked at White, Brown and Mathis at WR. Brown looks like a WR2 or 3 that doesn't stretch the field much. The Jags have that covered. White and Mathis are big play guys but both need polish. Mathis only having 30 catches last season and White's complete lack of commitment to run blocking and sloppy route running caused me to look to CB. Green, Wilson and McFadden are the targets here. Any of the three is decent value at this point. Jacksonvile selects:Bryant McFaddenMcFadden is big, fast enough, has excellent cover skills and strong run support. Which in the end counted more than his seeming confusion in zone coveragesat times. If he can learn the subtlties of zone coverage he could be a top corner for a long time as he has all the other tools. He'll need to step up quickly as outside of Rasheen Mathis, there's not much proven at CB in Jax. Karl Paymah is one of a couple of CBs I'd try and target late if this draft went 7 rounds as I'd look to bring in 2 CBs to compete with Thompson(last years project CB) for the longterm spot next to Mathis.

Baltimore selects Roddy White, WR, UAB

This feels like a steal in the late second, as I believe he's considered a possible late first rounder at this point. With good size at 6'1" and nice speed at 4.45, he should provide some much-needed downfield explosiveness opposite Mason.

I thought about DT or CB here but didn't see any prospects with as much upside as White.

:bag: I thought Marlin Jackson was still around - He's listed as a DB instead of CB and didn't show up on my Excel sheet filter... I couldn't wait til the Jets pick... LOLAs it is - I'll be around later at like 8:00 if the Jets pick comes up.
 
Buffalo Bills select:

Chris Spencer, Center, Ole Miss

He's the top rated center in the draft with 1st round potential. If the Bills can't acquire a better option at LT, they will move Trey Teague out there and insert Spencer in as the starter at C. Thus, this pick could potentially upgrade 2 positions on the Bills offensive line, which will be critical with JP Losman taking over.

As a Bills fan, :thumbup: Almost took him over Barber for Carolina's 2nd rounder here.

 
Wow. ROddy WHite and Demarcus Ware are going to go in the top 35 or so. I'm suprised to see them slip so far.

Denver needs to upgrade the D, but apparently, they're doing so by importing the Browns defensive line. I wish I could reselect in round 1 (and get them a CB), but oh well. ANyway, Shanny is an odd bird and I suspect he'll be looking to hit one out of the park in Round 2.

Denver selects:

Ciatrick Fason - RB - Florida

Its easy to presume the Bell/Griffin/ANderson are going to carry the load, and they may. But Denver has always sported LOTS of depth at RB and Fason reminds me of some of the best they've had: he needs some polish, but he has solid skills.

I also considered DT here, but I think there is enough depth at DT to hang on a little longer. Also, not that it matters here, but there is talk of the Broncos trying to move up to get in a position to select Travis Johnson

 
UNBELIEVABLE - All 56 players I targeted were just picked in front of me :D

NY Jets select: CJ MOSELY DT Missouri

For me, this mock was an excercise in what to do if the OT's are gone in round 1 - Heath Miller or a CB?. If Miller is also gone I'd take a CB in round 1. If not, I'm leaning towards what I think can be a Top CB in round 1 anyway over the scraps I see here.... The draft is deep in CB, but, once you get into this middle tier of CB's it goes on for a long while and I think I can get the same talent in a CB for the next 2 rounds - I felt this for a while and looking at the PFW Draft grades just reported they too seem to feel that way as the next 20 or so CB's all have similar grades.

I feel the same about the OT's at this point...

Actually considered Fason to back up Martin and become his eventual replacement.

So, Looking at what I percieve to be the value now, I'm taking Mosely to fill the DT spot vacated by the loss of Jason Ferguson. Then hopefully come back and grab my CB and OT later on....

 
Well. It looks as if I'm available for this after all, I guess as every time I get a chance to check in.. it's near the Packers' pick. Again, I think this is pretty much a no-brainer.

The Packers will select

ODELL THURMAN ILB Georgia

The packers have 3 major needs. Safety. Pass rushing DE. And LB. And they all have to be compatible with Jim Bates defensive scheme. They have found a LDE with pass rush skills in Erasmus James. They have found a coverage safety with ball hawking skills in Josh Bullocks. Now they want a sideline to sideline Linebacker with speed to plug in. Thurman fits the bill perfectly. Don't like his attitude much, but that's likely why he slipped so far and the Packers aren't upset to get him at the tail end of round 2. He's fast. He's a bit undersized, but that's something Jim Bates' can deal with. He's also way more talented then this pick position, but his character concerns bring him down some. But, overall ability-wise.. Thurman is a 4.5/4.6 40 guy with great athleticism, talent, ability and instincts. He's great value at a position of need for the packers. This pick will slide Na'il Diggs to SSLB (where he was much more productive) and could possibly move Nick Barnett over to the weak side. It has the potential to upgrade all 3 positions on the packer LB corps. A steal at 58.

Well the Colts would be looking a ton of different options here and were hoping that one of the MLB prospects would keep slipping to no avail.

With that said, the Colts have needs at DT, DE, and LB on defense with the addition of Jackson in the 1st.

Colts select DT Mike Patterson, Southern Cal

Patterson is a perfect fit for the one gap system used by the Colts and may be even a little Warren Sapp in the future. He will greatly help to plug up the middle on early downs while allowing one of the other DTs to slide to DE as well making the run defense much better.

Good pick! Another guy I was looking at with the Panthers 2nd rounder. Better fit in Indy though, I think.
 
Atl selects Chris Henry WR WVU

Finally a true #1 WR?

Exactly. He has Moss like skills and while he is kind of a punk he should mesh with Vick well. Clayton will also be a perfect complement for Henry's skill.

Jenkins?Yeah, but I'm not sure living in the ATL and hanging out with Vick's posse is going to help a wayward young man.... :D

Whoops, sorry I typed that up fast. Oh well if he remains the same punk it's all about talent in the NFL.
 
San Diego Chargers

2.29 Reggie Brown WR, Georgia

The Chargers addressed their woeful defense especially their pass rush in the first round with the picks of Merriman and Roth. Their other key areas of need are at OT, WR and they could use some youth at ILB. Brown is the one of the most NFL ready left on the board and should be able to help the Chargers right away in three or four receiver sets. He may not be as athletic as the other Georgia WR, but his ability to separate is a skill previous Charger WR draftees are missing.

 
I'm going to mix it up a bit here.

Steelers select Ronald Bartell, CB, Howard

This guy has the physical tools to be the best CB in the draft at 6'1" 210 lbs and a 4.37 40 time at the combine. He has fluid hips, a high football IQ, and a true shutdown corner mentality. Physically and mentally, the guy has it all. The raps on him are the lower level of competition he played in, his tendency to get bored at times when not challenged, and sometimes questionable tackling technique. The lower level of competition doesn't bother me... he did not allow a single reception in 6 of his games last year, and had 14 passes defensed despite most QBs throwing away from him. I never mind grabbing a player from a lower level of competition if the guy has excelled at that level. I don't think he'll have any trouble being challenged in the NFL, and coaching can help improve his tackling. The guy has the potential to be a good run-stopping corner with his size and strength (345-lb. bench press) - he just needs to get the attitude instilled in him. Where better to get it than in Black and Gold? With Bartell, Colclough, and Ike Taylor, the Steelers have 3 admittedly raw, but tremendously talented and fast CB prospects with whom to hopefully build a dominating secondary around troy Polamalu.
