Two Round Mock Draft for the NFL Draft ‘07

After NFL Combine March

* Underclassmen x - Cleveland won the coin flip with Tampa

1. Oakland - 2-14 -* JaMarcus Russell QB 6-6, 255 LSU

Raiders need new leadership and Russell would be fine addition.

2. Detroit - 3-13 * Adrian Peterson RB 6-1, 220 Oklahoma Lions would love this feature back despite adding Tatum Bell in trade.

x - 3. Cleveland - 4-12 - Joe Thomas OT 6-7, 310 Wisconsin Browns have to find a way to protect QB Frye and Thomas would be too good to pass on here.

4. Tampa Bay - 4-12 - * Calvin Johnson WR 6-4, 235 Georgia Tech Bucs are sitting and hoping the best player in the draft falls to them here.

5. Arizona - 5-11 - Gaines Adams DE 6-4, 265 Clemson

Cards seem do this every year and never gets their changing front four right.

6. Washington - 5-11 – * Alan Branch DT 6-5, 330 Michigan Redskins would love this anchor for their front four.

7. Minnesota - 6-10 - Brady Quinn QB 6-4, 230 Notre Dame Vikings are hoping he falls to this spot where they could not pass on him.

8. Houston - 6-10 - Leon Hall CB 5-11,195 Michigan

Texans defense has several blue chip players and another top cover man can put this unit up another level.

9. Miami - 6-10 - LaRon Landry FS 6-2, 205 LSU

Dolphins are looking for an impact defender in secondary and Landry would be an early starter.

10. Atlanta - 7-9 - * Jamaal Anderson DE 6-6, 255 Arkansas Falcons will have to replace Patrick Kerney and probably look to this spot with their #1 pick.

11. San Francisco - 7-9 - * Ted Ginn WR 6-0, 180 Ohio St 49ers’ offense needs a premier playmaker and Ginn can strike from anywhere.

12. Buffalo - 7-9 - * Lawrence Timmons LB 6-3, 230 Florida St. Bills defense suffered some FA losses and a speedy backer would be a great addition here.

13. St. Louis - 8-8 - Amobi Okoye DT 6-2, 290 Louisville

Rams are looking to this guy to be a difference maker on their disappointing front four.

14. Carolina - 8-8 - Levi Brown OT 6-5, 325 Penn St.

Panthers will probably address the tackle spot early and Brown is flying up the charts.

15. Pittsburgh - 8-8 - * Dwayne Jarrett WR 6-5, 210 USC Steelers need more playmakers for Big Ben to return to top form.

16. Green Bay - 8-8 - Michael Griffin SS 6-0, 200 Texas

Packers have problems in the secondary and along their front four.

17. Jacksonville - 8-8 - * Reggie Nelson FS 6-1, 190 Florida Jaguars defense is looking to add a playmaker in their disappointing secondary.

18. Cincinnati - 8-8 - * Greg Olsen TE 6-5. 255 Miami

Bengals passing game needs some impact on the inside and Olsen is a blue chip performer.

19. Tennessee - 8-8 - * Marshawn Lynch RB 5-10, 220 California Titans released Travis Henry and are looking to add a playmaker out of the backfield.

20. N. Y. Giants - 8-8 - Paul Posluszny LB 6-1, 235 Penn St Giants made major changes on their disappointing backer unit where Posluszny could be an early NFL starter.

21. Denver - 9-7 - Adam Carriker DE 6-5, 280 Nebraska

Broncos defense needs a stud pass rusher and Carriker is flying up the charts.

22. Dallas - 9-7 - * Chris Houston CB 5-10, 180 Arkansas Boys will be hard pressed to pass on this fast cover man, though not their biggest need position.

23. Kansas City - 9-7 - * Jarvis Moss DE 6-6, 255 Florida Chiefs will debate a pass rusher and cover man in the early rounds and Moss is moving up quickly.

24. New Eng (Seat) - 9-7 - Aaron Ross CB 6-0, 195 Texas Patriots secondary could suffer FA losses and with injuries and aging players this could be the focus of one of their two #1 picks.

25. New York Jets - 10-6 - * Darrelle Revis CB 5-11,190 Pittsburgh Jets are expected to address the secondary early with possibly their #1 pick this April.

26. Philadelphia - 10-6 - * Jon Beeson LB 6-0, 225 Miami Eagles are looking to a front seven defender with big play ability.

27. New Orleans - 10-6 - * Zach Miller TE 6-5, 260 Arizona St Saints looking to give QB Drew Brees a big play weapon in the middle.

28. New England - 12-4 - Dwayne Bowe WR 6-2, 220 LSU Pats are looking to draft into the deep receiving class with an early selection.

29. Baltimore - 13-3 - Justin Blalock OG 6-4, 330 Texas

Ravens continue to rebuild their line with age at a few key positions.

30. San Diego - 14-2 - * Robert Meachem WR 6-2, 205 Tennessee Chargers will probably address this deep position early in the draft and possibly with their #1 pick.

31. Chicago - 13-3 - Joe Staley OT 6-5, 295 Central Michigan Bears’ have problems along their offense line and look to address the tackle spot early.

32. Indianapolis - 12-4 - Patrick Willis LB 6-2, 230 Mississippi Colts are looking for front seven defenders and Willis is one of the most consistent performers in this class.

64. Tampa (Indy) - Rufus Alexander LB 6-0, 230 Oklahoma

 

[Billy Ball Thorton]

Arizona - Ryan Kalil OC 6-3, 290 USC is a joke. They have one of the highest paid centers as a backup.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

59. N.Y. Jets - Kenny Irons RB 5-11, 210 Auburn

 

[beto]

Pittman to the Giants in the 2nd would be a nice fit.

 

[ThePittbully]

This mock is absolutely rediculous

 

[Colin Dowling]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

 

[msommer]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

 

[sho nuff]

I don't see Green Bay passing on RBs in both rounds.

Im not big on Lynch in the first so I like that pick, or Nelson...but think they go RB in the 2nd.

 

[Kevin Ashcraft]

He STILL has KC taking a DE....does he already know of a Jared Allen trade lol.

Allen and Hali are dang good DE's

 

[gildawg]

Cleveland does not take a safety in the second round.

 

[softball]

I'd be SO happy if he nails the JETS...

 

[Rovers]

 

[Donnybrook]

39. Houston - * Brandon Siler LB 6-1, 235 Florida

MLB Does he know who won the DROY last season?

 

[beto]

Jarrett to the Steelers is interesting. Was Burress a similar prospect when he came out of MSU? I don't remember what his timed speed was.

 

[dwarfboy]

Falcons shouldn't even be considering drafting a QB at all, much less a second rounder unless they trade Schaub.

 

[Mr. Peterson]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

And why would they take another SS? I think Whitner is doing just fine.

 

[Fat Nick]

I just don't see the Lions taking AD/AP/Adrian Peterson. I mean, they've got other needs IMO, and while I think Peterson will be a stud, I just don't see it. The unfortunate part is that if they don't take him, he could fall pretty far with Cleveland landing J. Lewis, and Tampa/AZ/Wash not needing RB's.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

http://www.draftinsiders.com/node/129

17. Jacksonville - 8-8 - * Reggie Nelson FS 6-1, 190 Florida Jaguars defense is looking to add a playmaker in their disappointing secondary.

I like the pick, but disappointing is not a word that comes to mind when describing the Jaguars defensive backfield.

 

[pgreenfan]

Chris Houston and Jason Hill would make me very happy as a Cowboys fan.

 

[ditka85]

I think Frank needs to put down the bottle of Jack Daniels before his next mock.

 

[Obie Wan]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

Buffalo may pass on Okoye but it will be for Willis to play MLB- not Timmons.

 

[Obie Wan]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

Buffalo may pass on Okoye but it will be for Willis to play MLB- not Timmons.

The Bills just spent a ton on the OL- they will not draft Levi Brown at #12.

 

[wadegarrett]

This mock is absolutely rediculous

 

[bigness4life]

Picks 1-3 are wrong, and it sinks from there....

 

[Sidewinder16]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

And why would they take another SS? I think Whitner is doing just fine.

Rouse has talked about possibly being moved to LB by various teams. Not saying that's why this guy mocked him here. Just saying it could be why Rouse gets picked by a team that needs LBs instead of safeties.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Well, I know he got the Eagles' 1st round pick wrong - they never take LBs early.

 

[jurrassic]

I appreciate the thought and effort but this is not realistic.

 

[Snotbubbles]

He STILL has KC taking a DE....does he already know of a Jared Allen trade lol.Allen and Hali are dang good DE's

In 2002 the Eagles took Lito Sheppard AND Sheldon Brown at CB in Rounds 1 & 2 even though they had Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor who were both dang good CB's at the time. Allen and Hali can't play every snap and since the game is won and lost in the trenches having a DE rotation would be a wise thing.

 

[Mr. Peterson]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

Buffalo may pass on Okoye but it will be for Willis to play MLB- not Timmons.

The Bills just spent a ton on the OL- they will not draft Levi Brown at #12.

Actually, with all the FA's they signed they still have yet to get someone to play opposite Peters. Langston Walker played tackle at Oakland but I have been hearing reports that he might be moved to guard where he is better suited. Levi Brown would solidify that O-line in a big way. But lets hope we don't have to worry about who they're taking at 1.12 since they are moving up to take Peterson.

 

[Mr. Peterson]

I'm not sure I see Buffalo passing on Okoye or Brown for a LB.

Rouse has talked about possibly being moved to LB by various teams. Not saying that's why this guy mocked him here. Just saying it could be why Rouse gets picked by a team that needs LBs instead of safeties.

I guess that makes much more sense. I haven't heard too much about him but with Crowell possibly moving to MLB we could use a speedy LB to replace him. He's a big boy and sounds like he has the size to play LB.

Yea more and more teams are adopting revolving defensive lines

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

I don't see Green Bay passing on RBs in both rounds.Im not big on Lynch in the first so I like that pick, or Nelson...but think they go RB in the 2nd.

It would not shock me to see them pass on rbs for defensive value.

I agree with this. If Thompson has an issue with Lynch's character or if he is off the board. I could see the Packer go defense is round 1 and take a wr in round 2. If they sign Droughns, it would give them a one year fix with Morency. He really wants to build this defense.

 

[matuski]

Tony Ugoh to the rear end of the second.

Agreed if they sign and RB it could happen.And if not Nelson or Griffith in round one...maybe Weddle in the 2nd.But other than safety and maybe later depth at corner...not sure what D he is going to go after.DE? Not with the money they have in KGB, Kampman and Jenkins now.DT? Seems pretty set with a pretty solid rotation (Cole, Pickett, Williams, Jolley, and even Jenkins in a pinch)I see them doing more for depth at DT or DE later in the draft...but not in the 1st 2 round for sure, and I doubt in the 1st day they draft any defense except a safety.

 

[Bevo]

I think Frank needs to put down the bottle of Jack Daniels before his next mock.

I wonder if he even attempts to keep up with things like free agent losses and acquisitions or trades?

 

[MrPhoenix]

13. St. Louis - 8-8 - Amobi Okoye DT 6-2, 290 Louisville

 

[Bobcat10]

Cleveland does not take a safety in the second round.

Pool and Jones are ready to blossom as a nice saftey pairing.

 

[TME]

Yea more and more teams are adopting revolving defensive lines

In recent history see NO Saints and NY Giants. It is not unusual at all.But, overall, this draft is bad. Bengals going TE in the 1st...original. He must have been using mock drafts from the past three years as reference. It will not happen...when will people get that. Bengals passing attack is fine, but they absolutely need defensive help...a lot, especially DB and DL and you do not get good players at those positions in later rounds.
