Who do you want your team to draft (1 Viewer)

[Deranged Hermit]

Kind of a twist on the old and tired, mock draft: Who do you want you team to draft in the first two rounds? What is your dream senario? Try to make it somewhat make sense.

Here's mine:

Chicago Bears

1. Jeff Otah

The Bears need O-line help in the worst way and Otah is a great candidate to do that. I have him ranked as the number 3 OL in this draft behind Long and Clady and just ahead of Williams and Albert (yes, I think Albert is over-rated now).

2. Joe Flacco

I've seen every game Flacco played for Delaware and he's the goods. Had he played for a D-1 school, he would be a top 10 pick IMO. I have Flacco rated as the number 3 QB behind Ryan and Brohm and just ahead of Henne (although it wouldn't break my heart if they got Henne instead). I just can't take the QB merry-go-round anymore.....

Philadelphia Eagles

1. Chris Williams

Tough call here, but I think this would be the way Reid would go if Williams fell. I honestly believe that they will trade up, and use Lito to do it, so that could get them maybe as high as Buffalo's pick at 11. Now if Leodis McKelvin is there, all bets are off. That would kill two birds with one stone and net them the CB depth and return guy they covet. Can't see him falling far enough for the Eagles to make a serious stab at him though.

2. Malcolm Kelly

Laugh all you want, but Kelly has been in a free fall since the end of the season. Seriously, had he just gone into hiding up until now and only showed up to interviews, he would be better off. I doubt he drops this far though, so realistically, we're probably looking at Early Doucet or a Safety like Reggie Smith.

 

[chasyone]

NY JETS

1. Gholston/McFadden

The need a great pass rusher for years to come and I think he will be that.

McFadden is a game changer so I would also be happy if they go with him but I want Gholston first.

2. James Hardy/Doucet/Manningham

I think they need another WR to strech the field and take over Coles spot when he is done.

 

[RaiderBones]

OAKLAND RAIDERS

1. Dorsey/C. Long

Adding another piece to the defensive front line would help to make the already looking good Raider's defense look even better.

 

[tjford]

Atlanta Falcons:

1) Glenn Dorsey or Jake Long (NOT Matt Ryan)

One only needs to look at Cleveland to see how a franchise tackle can turn a team around. I believe Dorsey has a similar effect on the defense and would allow Jamaal Anderson to come into his own.

2a) Jerod Mayo

Debatable whether Mayo makes it to here or not but Keith Brooking would be cut if Atlanta had a suitable replacement in the middle.

2b) Joe Flacco

Doubt that Brohm lasts to this spot. Flacco's praises have already been sung in the post above.

2c) Best CB on the board (could be Flowers or Porter but likely to be Lee or King or Molden)

Von Hutchins isn't going to replace DeAngelo Hall. We need depth at CB.

Edit: I can't spell.

 

[RBM]

Bears

1 Albert - Id be happy with Otah as well, but Albert's versatility and power is just too enticing

2 Brohm - I really dont see much of a different between him and Ryan.

Wow, the Falcons have certainly put themselves in a good spot with all these picks.As for your choices, I can't see Mayo dropping that far, but a LB like Dan Connor might. Also about Flacco. Keep your dirty hands off him.

Bears1 Albert - Id be happy with Otah as well, but Albert's versatility and power is just too enticing2 Brohm - I really dont see much of a different between him and Ryan.

I wouldn't be mad if they got Albert, but I'm always wary about those fast rising players who see their stock soar after workouts (ala Mike Mamula and Dwayne Robertson).

 

[Sabertooth]

Green Bay Packers:



1st round (30): Take the slider in the first round. I think one of the following will be available; Matt Ryan, Rashard Mendenhall, Chris Williams, Ryan Clady, Dominique Rodger-Cromartie, or Jonathan Stewart. Take the slider. If not, I'd be fine with Cason or Flowers.

2. 2nd round (56): Shore up the defensive backfield with the addition of a guy like Antwan Molden.

3. 2nd round (60): Shore up the defensive line a bit with a tackle or end.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

Steelers:

Round 1: Top rated OT on the board (like Cherilus)

Round 2: Top rated OL or DL on the board

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Vikings -

1. Trade up for Derrick Harvey or take Quentin Groves (Assuming no Jared Allen)

2. Tyrell Johnson, Safety - Arkansas St.

While your here Andy, can you answer a question for me please? How far, realistically, do you see Malcolm Kelly falling. His value seems to be all over the place right now......

 

[bshipper]

Bengals

Must focus on defense. No need for a RB until later on the second day, if at all. The first 4 picks should be one of each of the following; DT, LB, DE, WR.

Rd 1 (9) - Sedrick Ellis, USC

Rd 2 (46) - Curtis Lofton, Oklahoma

Rd 3 (77) - Cliff Avril, Purdue

Rd 3 (96) - Jerome Simpson, Coastal Carolina

 

[BusMan]

Broncos:

Rd 1: either trade up for Ellis or track back for Williams

Rd 2: Ray Rice

 

[Cookiemonster]

The RAIDERS don't have and 2nd or 3rd so I'll just go w/ the 1st.

I want J.Long - B.Sims was let go and only Kwame Harris was brought in from down the street to replace him. The line made significant improvement from '06 to '07 but was still only average at best in terms of pass blocking. Many Raiders fans will not agree with that pick because of Gallery's bad taste still in their mouths. Gallery was supposed to be the next O.Pace at LT but may just end up being a pretty good guard. I hear they're trying him at LT again, so we'll see. I say RT at best, his pass blocking is horrible. If he's supposedly so mobile, try taking off the cement shoes.

I would be equally happy with Dorsey, Long or Ellis. There are rumblings about Burgess' attitude (regarding his contrace IIRC) and while Jay Richardson looked like the late round jem this team has been needing, he could be improved upon with C.Long. It's hard to say which spot to upgrade the D line 'cause T.Kelly just got his huge contract and will be moving back to DT. He looked like a promising 3 tech. a couple years ago before spending time at DE last year. Dorsey and Ellis project as 3 T guys too, but Dorsey could probably do well at the pivot. All spots (with the exception of Burgess, who may just need replaced soon) need to be improved, but I'm not too sure if the players in place there aren't adequate (they get help in the running game w/ Hall manning the other corner and G.Wilson bringing some thump to the safety spot). The O line needs more help than the D line IMO, especially w/ a $10M/yr QB behind them. The franchise LT should come a year before the franchise QB, but the cards did not fall that way. Better too late than not at all.

BTW, eff McFadden. He's just a slightly stronger version of Fargas and would be a minimal improvement to this offense, especially when you concider what have at RB for the price.

 

[Winning IS Everything]

Bears1 Albert - Id be happy with Otah as well, but Albert's versatility and power is just too enticing2 Brohm - I really dont see much of a different between him and Ryan.

As a Bear fan, i am feeling you guys with these picks. I would like to see OL ans QB in the first two rounds.1. Otah, Williams, Albert - In order of preference2. Flacco, Brohm - In order of preference

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Vikings - 1. Trade up for Derrick Harvey or take Quentin Groves (Assuming no Jared Allen)2. Tyrell Johnson, Safety - Arkansas St.

While your here Andy, can you answer a question for me please? How far, realistically, do you see Malcolm Kelly falling. His value seems to be all over the place right now......

As bad as things have gotten, I still think it's difficult to see him slipping out of the 2nd round. He's just been too productive for a team not to take a chance.

I doubt he drops this far though, so realistically, we're probably looking at Early Doucet or a Safety like Reggie Smith.

Nice work D.H.The simplest answer is BPA. But if we're talking dream scenarios, I would love for the Eagles to come away with one impact player in the first round and have the 2nd rounder be a major contributor, too, even if that means special teams (i.e., a returner). I would be shocked if the Eagles don't trade up either in the 1st or 2nd (or both) to get specific guys they want. I think we're probably going to draft for need this year a bit more than we have in the past; because with 11 draft picks and Lito the team can pretty much position itself to take a guy that they have atop their board and fills a need by moving up in the draft.I'm not at all sold on Chris Williams so I would only be happy with that selection if they got him at 1.19 or lower. Since I don't know if they will move up though and I can't know how far they can get up, I'll give you my dream scenario IF they stay where they are in the 1st and 2nd rounds.1.19 -- Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State -- We have been desperate for a returner for years, and Thomas is a talented kickoff returner. Unlike DeSean Jackson, Thomas is a big physical receiver who I believe could eventually step into the starting lineup.1.49 -- Martellus Bennett, TE, Texas A&M -- I've never been an L.J. Smith fan and honestly believe he will be gone after this franchise season; because I don't think he'll prove himself worth of a long-term extension. In the meantime, our TE depth is thin, at best. Bennett is a monster who would bring a physicality to the position we haven't seen in some time, but is skilled enough as a receiver that Reid would actually keep him on the field. He could help on Special Team THIS YEAR to boot.

 

[FUBAR]

Tennessee Titans:

1. Kentwan Balmer. Put him next to Haynesworth, no team will run up the middle.

2. Earl Bennett. Popular thinking has the Titans going WR in round 1. I prefer Bennett to almost any other WR, and there's a good chance he's still here in the 2nd. If he's gone, I'd take Tracy Porter, assuming Pac is gone.

3. If Bennett isn't the 2nd rounder, Jordy Nelson.

Do you really think TE is so much of a need that you'd take one in the second round? I'll be honest, I don't know much about him.

 

[bcr8f]

1st round (30): Take the slider in the first round. I think one of the following will be available; Matt Ryan, Rashard Mendenhall, Chris Williams, Ryan Clady, Dominique Rodger-Cromartie, or Jonathan Stewart. Take the slider. If not, I'd be fine with Cason or Flowers.

3. 2nd round (60): Shore up the defensive line a bit with a tackle or end.

Flowers should be gone too. I see Ted trading down if none of those sliders are there. Cason may be there.I would like OL and CB. Whoever is a value pick.

 

[gianmarco]

For the Saints:

1. In the 1st--DRC, Jenkins, McKelvin in that order.

2. Dustin Keller. Would LOVE to see him added to the passing game.

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Vikings - 1. Trade up for Derrick Harvey or take Quentin Groves (Assuming no Jared Allen)2. Tyrell Johnson, Safety - Arkansas St.

I agree. I think a team is going to get a steal the minute he drops out of the 1st round.

 

[sholditch]

I would just like the Bears to emerge from the draft with some concrete reason for me to look forward to 2008. I know we're not going to the playoffs and I know we will likely finish at the bottom of the division.

1. Otah/Williams/Albert: I have no idea who will end up being better but we have to take one of the three. Chances are the choice will be made for us by the time we pick.

2. Flacco: All I've seen are the youtube videos but he looks to be as good a bet as any of the QBs on the board. I don't know why he didn't play D-1, but I bet if he had he'd be a guarunteed 1st day pick. (ETA: If for some reason Mendenhall or Stewart is here we should take them and attempt to either trade back into the second for a QB, or hope for Woodson in the third)

3. Earl Bennett: I just don't think that any of the RBs that will be there in the third represent much of an upgrade. There's Forte (big, slow, straight-ahead) who sounds like a carbon copy of Benson, and then Jamaal Charles (smaller, shiftier, not an inside runner, goes down easy) who sounds a lot like Wolfe. As much as we need RBs we need WRs just as bad. I don't buy that HEster is going to be a consistent reciever, and beyond him the cupboard is totally bare. Bennett is an underrated talent and has good field speed. He's a precise route-runner who can catch anywhere on the field.

3b. Best available OL, if nothing there, best available DT, if nothing there, best available RB.

 

[Fallerjw]

Browns - trade DA to the Falcons and draft Sedrick Ellis (then the Bengals can't get him)

 

[VaCatFan]

Panthers:

1. Derrick Harvey DE

2. Trade up for Baker or take Anthony Collins OT or Pat Sims/Trevor Laws DT.

 

[B Maverick]

Chargers...

Not many holes to fill but OT, CB are needed now and DT, S and RB need to be addressed for depth and future.

Pref a trade down from their 1st into the early 2nd as long as they pick up a 3rd and a pick either in the 4th or 5th.

If they stay, Goseder Cherilous or Flowers would be solid picks.

If they pick a RB I will be unhappy and booing like a Jets fan!

 

[Sweet Love]

Jets fan here:

First Round: I think McFadden would be great for a team lacking in star quality, but I think Gholston (if he is there) would provide the explosiveness and diversity they need in the front seven.

Secons Round: I am not sure if this is a reach, but if the Jets do go with someone other than McFadden at the first pick, I would love to see Ray Rice on the team. i though he was projected to be an early 2nd round pick, but i have seen him dropping in recent mocks to the third. Unfortunately the Jets do not have their early third anymore (part of Jenkins trade), so unless they move Robertson prior to the draft for something in the second, I am not sure if they can get Rice unless they use that early second.

 

[5Rings]

49ers

1.29. Best Lineman. That means either Gosder Cherilous (sposedly Nolan loves him from coaching him this offseason) to bookend LT Joe Staley, or a much needed 3-4 DE like Kentwan Balmer.

2.08 Pass Rush LB. Quentin Groves heart issue might make him fall here; previously I think we would have had to take him at 29. He'd be an ideal fit opposite Manny Lawson and allow Tubby Banta Cain to spin move his way right out of town. If Groves is gone, I think someone like Cliff Avril is another option. I also wouldn't be surprised to see a S taken if Kenny Phillips or Tyrell Johnson are available.

Yes, I'm not projecting any WRs on day one.

 

[Almas_4th_Child]

OAKLAND RAIDERS1. Dorsey/C. LongAdding another piece to the defensive front line would help to make the already looking good Raider's defense look even better.

I honestly think that the Raiders D is very close to being a dominanting D. They have so much talent and a great Coordinator.Now offense is a different story b/c I don't think Russell is very good at all.

 

[Chaos Commish]

Dallas -- Immediate needs, no rebuilding.

1st 1st -- Take Stewart or Mendenhall at RB if either is available, if not take the best DB.

2nd 1st -- Take the best DB

consider moving up for one of the RBs if he's falling a little, likewise for a top corner should one be getting close.

2nd -- Take the best DB unless they take two in the first round. If so, then take the best back on the board.

3 picks -- CB, DB, RB in whatever order they maximize value . All three players need to be ready to contribute by September.

 

[Almas_4th_Child]

I like the idea of a slider....but Cason would be a great fit in GB.

 

[Mr. Peterson]

Buffalo Bills - position and in my order

1. CB - DRC -

2. WR - D.Thomas, L.Sweed (these two have almost no chance of being there) M.Kelly, Hardy, Doucet

If all those WR's are gone then take D.Keller I guess.

I personally think it's an enormous need. I don't suspect the Eagles share my feelings so I doubt we'll got TE that early.

I think that a TE will be drafted by Philly, but not on Day 1. Dustin Keller or Fred Davis in Rounds 3 or 4 would suit them well.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

Vikings:

1. Phillip Merling

2. Chad Henne (don't think he makes it this far) so Reggie Smith

 

[bighandsray]

EAGLES

1st- Trade for Chad Johnson. I know it is a dream as salary cap prohibits until June 1st. If Ocho is a no go then they will probably have to trade up to pick Chris Williams, best DE or McKelvin. I would rather have Mckelvin for his return skills bonus. Last years special teams was a joke (and not a funny joke).

2nd-Reggie Smith DB fills need right away and for the future to hopefully take over for Dawkins

or Chris Johnson RB ECU helps return game immediately and hopefully could develop into Westbrook type back.

In general I want them to pick players who will help immediately! It is frustrating seeing draft picks sit for an entire season. I would also like to see the Birds trade up into the top of the second to try and land Hardy or a WR who can help now. Indications are he may fall to middle of 2nd. I would love a Plax Buress type receiver in this offense especially in the red zone. Tell me my wishes will come true DH.

 

[Wildman]

Titans

Ray Rice--I'd be thrilled with Stewart or Mendenhall, but if they can get him in rounds 2-3 and address WR (D Thomas/Sweed) in rounds 1 or 2, I'd be bouncing off the walls. Bennett would be very good, too but not too early.

If not Rice, then Matt Forte, Kevin Smith, or Jamaal Charles would be promising in that order.

I think Rice has that old Titan's mentality. Plus he could wear #27 and do it justice

LOL, I wish I could GB. My buddy is already in seclusion, so I won't get to talk to him at all this week as they prepare for the draft. I will say that I am almost positive (80% sure) that they won't be drafting at 19 one way or another. He was a lot more secretive than he was last year so that's telling me something is in the works.

I think there are going to be a large, large number of trades in this year's draft. New Orleans could trade up to top 5, St. Louis and KC would like out of the top 5. Philly is rumored to move. It's gonna be great!

The key is the new draft chart. Lots of the "better" teams (by record) appear to have openly endorsed the new rankings scale and are therefore more than willing to move around. The question is whether or not the teams up high are realistic about what those top picks are worth and if they're smart enough to factor into the equation the costs their teams would really incur by signing someone that high.

I expect Philly, NE and Atlanta to be big movers and shakers on day 1. Atlanta has a ton of picks to make sure they get the players they are targeting, as does Philly (plus they have Lito). NE I expect to actually move back and get more picks. Their Defense has holes to plug at CB and LB and that number 7 pick can turn into that plug if they manuver around correctly.

Philly is going to trade Lito Sheppard - perhaps in a deal with Detroit for Roy Williams?If the Vikes don't get Allen, it wouldn't surprise me to see them drop out of the first entirely, possibly with Atlanta trading up.

Add Buffalo (they don't want to be at 11) and San Diego (lacking in picks) and this could be quite interesting.Also the Raiders are pretty low in their # of picks.

 

[Kevin Ashcraft]

Chiefs - assuming Allen trade gets done.

1.5 - DE C. Long

1.17 - CB Rogers-Cromartie

2.5 - OT S. Baker

The Texans don't have a 2nd round pick so, ideally, I'd like them to trade down for an extra pick.

Assuming he is there at #18 (I don't think he will be) I would love for us to draft Jonathan Stewart. If not I would like one of: Mendenhall, Branden Albert, Chris Williams, Leodis McKelvin, DRC, or Harvey. If they are all off the board and we can't trade back I think I might jump off a bridge.

Tennessee Titans:

1st. Kentwan Balmer or Jerrod Mayo, in that order.

2nd. Cliff Avril or Earl Bennett.

LOL, I wish I could GB. My buddy is already in seclusion, so I won't get to talk to him at all this week as they prepare for the draft. I will say that I am almost positive (80% sure) that they won't be drafting at 19 one way or another. He was a lot more secretive than he was last year so that's telling me something is in the works.

I think there are going to be a large, large number of trades in this year's draft. New Orleans could trade up to top 5, St. Louis and KC would like out of the top 5. Philly is rumored to move. It's gonna be great!

I expect Philly, NE and Atlanta to be big movers and shakers on day 1. Atlanta has a ton of picks to make sure they get the players they are targeting, as does Philly (plus they have Lito). NE I expect to actually move back and get more picks. Their Defense has holes to plug at CB and LB and that number 7 pick can turn into that plug if they manuver around correctly.

Add Buffalo (they don't want to be at 11) and San Diego (lacking in picks) and this could be quite interesting.Also the Raiders are pretty low in their # of picks.

I don't quite agree with the Raiders. Unless they trade 1.4, they have zero bargining chips to play with. I'm not saying Al won't trade that pick, but I would bet against it happening.Buffalo and SD are actually who I can see the Eagles dancing with if they trade up in either the 1st or 2nd.

Chiefs - assuming Allen trade gets done.1.5 - DE C. Long1.17 - CB Rogers-Cromartie2.5 - OT S. Baker

That would be an awesome haul by KC if they could pull it off. All three are instant starters IMO.

Eagles homer.

Round 1: Jeff Otah. I think we will trade up to get Otah, Albert, or Williams. We need eventual replacements for Thomas and Runyan, and we need insurance in case one or both break down this year.

Round 2: Best DB available. We need depth at CB and an heir apparent for Dawkins. Someone who could double as a return guy would be a plus.

They could pick ANY three names out of the top 50 and have three instant starters.
