Draft Daddy Mock Draft

ImmodiumAD · 01-19-2008, 10:21 AM

==
01. Miami Dolphins - QB Matt Ryan, Boston College

Parcells needs a new QB very badly and Matt Ryan is the best of the crop.
==
02. St. Louis Rams - DT Glenn Dorsey, Louisiana State

Taking Dorsey allows Carriker to move outside and strengthens the defensive front at two positions.
==
03.*Oakland Raiders - RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas

Al Davis loves gamebreaking speed and McFadden should workout very well.
==
04.*Atlanta Falcons - QB Brian Brohm, Louisville

Patrino may have departed but the Falcons still have to start over at the QB position.
==
05.* Kansas City Chiefs - OT Jake Long, Michigan

The Chiefs offensive line is in shambles, never really replacing left tackle Willie Roaf.
==
06. New York Jets - DE Chris Long, Virginia

Long is a great player but being a labeled a "tweener" could push him out of the top 5.
==
07. New England Patriots - LB Dan Connor, Penn State

The Patriots have a desperate need at inside linebacker, Connor is low risk and high character.
==
08. Baltimore Ravens - DE Derrick Harvey, Florida

The Ravens will likely need a pass rusher to replace Suggs, Harvey is underrated now, but just wait.
==
09. Cincinnati Bengals - DE Vernon Gholston, Ohio State

Justin Smith likely will leave in free agency and the Bengals would love to tab this edge rusher to replace him.
==
10. New Orleans Saints - DT Sedrick Ellis, Southern California

The Saints need to get stouter up front and Ellis fits their scheme well.
==
11. Buffalo Bills, S Kenny Phillips, Miami

The Bills defensive backfield lacks a true playmaker, Phillips is the answer.
==
12. Denver Broncos - OT Ryan Clady, Boise State

The Broncos don't like to draft OL high but with Lepsis retiring, Cutler's blind side needs protection.
==
13. Carolina Panthers - OT Jeff Otah, Pittsburgh

The Panthers will need to replace either one or both tackle positions, Otah is rising up boards.
==
14. Chicago Bears - QB Andre Woodson, Kentucky

A trade for a veteran is possible but if the QB position isn't addressed pre-draft, the Bears need Woodson.
==
15. Detroit Lions - CB Aqib Talib, Kansas

The Lions secondary is constantly undermanned, Talib is raw but a legitimate playmaker.
==
16. Arizona Cardinals - RB Felix Jones, Arkansas

The Cardinals most glaring need is a franchise caliber running back to replace Edge.
==
17. Minnesota Vikings - CB Mike Jenkins, South Florida

The Vikings need a quality player to line up across from Winfield. Another CB allows Griffin to move to safety.
==
18. Houston Texans - DE Calais Campbell, Miami

Another first round defensive lineman? Yes. Houston places high priority on rushing the passer.
==
19. Philadelphia Eagles - WR Desean Jackson, California

The Eagles' biggest need is a legitimate return man, Jackson can do that and be a deep threat on offense.
==
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - WR Mario Manningham, Michigan

Hilliard and Galloway are ancient, Clayton dissapeared, Gruden needs a new target for his offense.
==
21. Washington Redskins - DE Phillip Merling, Clemson

The Redskins need to upgrade their defensive end position, Merling is a probable workout warrior.
==
22. Dallas Cowboys (VIA Cle) - RB Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois

Julius Jones is a free agent and Marion Barber is not a full time running back. Mendenhall is a game-breaker.
==
23. Pittsburgh Steelers - OT Chris Williams, Vanderbilt

Williams projects to both tackle spots and the Steelers need help everywhere along the line.
==
24. Tennessee Titans - WR Limas Sweed, Texas

Vince Young needs more targets and he loves to feed other Longhorns (see Bo Scaife).
==
25. Seattle Seahawks - RB Jonathan Stewart, Oregon

The Seahawks need to reload at running back and Stewart is practically in their backyard.
==
XX. New York Giants - CB Antoine Cason, Arizona

The Giants have a fierce pass rush that covers up their cornerback woes.
==
27. Jacksonville Jaguars - CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Tennessee State

Behind Rashean Mathis, who will need a new deal soon, there's not much at cornerback for the Jags.
==
XX. San Diego Chargers - OT Sam Baker, Southern California

Olivea was benched mid- year and is a concern, Baker can upgrade the right tackle position and backup at left.
==
29. Dallas Cowboys - OT Gosder Cherlius, Boston College

The Cowboys line needs to do a better job at LG, RT - Cherlius projects better at these spots than at left tackle.
==
30. San Francisco 49ers (VIA Ind) - LB Keith Rivers, Southern California

Rivers talent too much to pass up, Nolan tends to take Senior Bowlers who perform.
==
XX. Green Bay Packers - CB Dejuan Tribble, Boston College

The Packers need cornerback depth and to plan for the future. Before the injury, Tribble was playing lock down.
==

XX. New England Patriots - Pick Forfeited

Violation of league rules.

I think the draft is really down to this.

If Jake Long is there, I see Herm drafting him. I think it's a slam dunk in his eyes.

If he isn't I think the Chiefs to try to trade down and pick a Tackle since it's quite a drop off from there.

But.... if Jake Long is gone and the Chiefs have the chance to take the 1st QB in the daft, I don't see how you cannot do that.

You can't count on a guy who hasn't played a down in almost 2 years as "a good, young back". Whether he can even get back to some of what he was is questionable.

"07. New England Patriots - LB Dan Connor, Penn State

It's sort of funny to see the words "desperate need" and "Patriots" in the same sentence.

Jake Long is the pick for Kansas City in 75% of the mock drafts I've seen.

Can it be all so simple?

Draft him Herm!!!

If anyone can slice his jugular with Occam's razor, it would be Herm and Carl.

Mr. Laz · 01-19-2008, 11:56 AM

i would be surprised if the Dolphins go QB with the 1st pick.

you know parcells is probably looking to trade down

And he'll be an alright player that we all bitch about not being worth his pick in a few years.

I also think it's funny everyone bitches there aren't any good QB prospects this year yet are 2 going top 5 in this one, they go top 10 in every mock and Woodson goes in the top 15...

Just wait, if/when Croyle doesn't work out next year is a far worse year for QB's..what a great spot to be in.

Mecca · 01-19-2008, 12:31 PM

I could careless if we are a run first team with a moronic head coach. You don't win shit without a QB in this league.

RJ · 01-19-2008, 12:35 PM

Which is easier to acquire through the draft in later rounds, a Pro Bowl caliber QB or a Pro Bowl caliber LT?

You are both correct, the question is merely which need should be addresed first.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 01-19-2008, 12:37 PM

Or a defensive line, for that matter.

Bottom line: This team can't, and isn't going to be rebuilt in 1 year.

Taking the BPA will only help us in the long run.

If the draft were tomorrow, I'd bet we'd pick either Jake Long, and if he were gone, Sedrick Ellis.

None of the teams playing right now have a 1st round LT...actually most of the teams that made the playoffs didn't have 1st round LT's....

Most of them however have first round QB's.

I think you get far better value taking a QB first and an LT second especially in a year like this.

stonedstooge · 01-19-2008, 12:39 PM

They haven't done the coin flips yet have they? So we still have the opportunity to be in the 4th postion right?

**The Bad Guy** · 01-19-2008, 01:05 PM

Quick, name the LTs that are in the championship games right now.

There isn't one household name. You can win there with a solid guy who doesn't make mistakes.

This team needs a franchise QB. Matt Ryan would be just fine with me.
