Rick Gosselin's NFL draft board

12:53 AM CDT on Monday, April 12, 2010

The St. Louis Rams owned the second overall selection in each of the last two drafts, and both times passed up a potential franchise quarterback to take a lineman.

The Rams passed up Matt Ryan in 2008 to take Virginia defensive end Chris Long and passed on Mark Sanchez in 2009 to take Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith.

But Ryan and Sanchez shouldn't take it personal. The Rams don't draft quarterbacks in the first round, regardless of who's available. The last time the Rams took a quarterback in the opening round was 1964, when they selected Bill Munson of Utah.

Look for the Rams to end that 45-year drought in the 2010 draft. They own the first overall selection and Sam Bradford of Oklahoma awaits their call.

St. Louis even paved a path for Bradford by releasing incumbent starter Marc Bulger this month. If you don't have a quarterback in today's NFL, you don't have a chance. Bradford gives the St. Louis faithful hope.

Here's the first of three mock draft offerings from The Dallas Morning News this month. The second will come next Sunday, and the final mock on the actual day of the draft. The first mock is based on my draft board of the top 32 players, the second focuses more on team need and the third is how I see the draft playing out.

Rick Gosselin's first NFL mock draft

09:25 AM CDT on Monday, April 13, 2009

The Detroit Lions obviously do not know what a Pro Bowl quarterback looks like.

The last time a Detroit quarterback went to the Pro Bowl was 1972 (Greg Landry). The Lions have used a first-round draft choice on a quarterback three times since then and whiffed each time: Chuck Long in 1986, Andre Ware in 1990 and Joey Harrington in 2002.

Three strikes and you're out, right? Not when it comes to quarterbacks. If you don't have one in the NFL, you don't stand a chance. The Lions won three NFL titles in the 1950s in large part because they had a Hall of Fame quarterback in Bobby Layne. So the search continues.

Getty Images
Georgia's Matthew Stafford attended the same high school (Highland Park) as Detroit Lions Hall of Fame quarterback Bobby Layne.
View larger More photos Photo store Georgia's Matthew Stafford is the top-rated quarterback in the 2009 NFL draft, and the Lions have the first overall selection. Coincidentally, Stafford attended the same high school as Layne – Highland Park in suburban Dallas. So pencil in Stafford to the Lions at the top of this draft board.

Here's the first of three mock draft offerings from The Dallas Morning News this month. The second will come next Sunday, and the final mock on the actual day of the draft. The first mock is based on my draft board of the top 32 players, the second focuses more on team need and the third is how I see the draft playing out.

Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
Lions are hoping Stafford can be their next Bobby Layne


2. St. Louis Rams:
Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
Huge hole at left tackle with release of Orlando Pace


3. Kansas City Chiefs:

4. Seattle Seahawks:
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
Seahawks desperate for a threatening offensive weapon


5. Cleveland Browns:
B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
Success starts with run defense in AFC North


6. Cincinnati Bengals:
Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
Bengals need WR/KR to replace T.J. Houshmandzadeh


7. Oakland Raiders:
Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
Raiders need more weapons to give QB Russell a chance

11. Buffalo Bills:

12. Denver Broncos:

Without Jay Cutler, the Broncos need a quarterback


13. Washington Redskins:
Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
Like Buffalo, the Redskins managed only 24 sacks in 2008


14. New Orleans Saints:
Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
The NFL's 23rd-ranked pass defense needs a shutdown corner


15. Houston Texans:
Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee

Rey Maualuga, MLB, USC
Maualuga plays with same reckless abandon as Junior Seau


17. New York Jets:
Darius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
Jets need to replace the speed of Laveranues Coles


18. Denver Broncos:
Peria Jerry, DT, Mississippi

so now you actually gonna bitch if the Chiefs select Eric Berry?

KC could take Berry at 5, use the 2 seconds and a 4th to move up and get Clausen and people will still complain.

On the Planet the two weeks before the draft = the hysterical season. Everyone knows more than every single analysts. Everyone knows more than 3/4s of NFL GMs and coaches.

a week ago people were bitching about people predicting the chiefs would take Bulgara. Yes, they blamed Pioli for other people predicting a pick they didn't like. Now that more and more people are predicting the Chiefs will take they guy they have be screaming for for 6 months, these same people are bitching because it's not Jimmy Clausen.

:doh!:

so let's review:

1. if people predict something bad it's Pioli's fault (even though nothing has happened yet)

2. if people predict something good you should switch your choice to something else so you don't have to be happy about the good prediction.

Dude....you love to bitch about the people who bitch. What's the fucking difference?

I've been on the Berry bandwagon since the fucking beginning....because I figured that we didn't have a shot of taking Clausen. Now that we do....I'm a little pissed that we probably won't take him because of Cassel. That's not to say that I won't be happy with Berry being out pick.

Where the fuck did you get Sanchez from my post?

Did I want us to draft Sanchez last year? Yeah I did. We didn't....big fucking deal now.

1. If we draft Berry with Clausen available.....I'll be hoping that Clausen falls and I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat to see if we trade back up to get him.

2. If we draft Clausen with Berry available.....I'll be happy because Weis believes that Clausen is a Franchise QB....but it will still suck a little that we missed out on Berry.

3. If we don't draft either one.....then I'll be fucking livid because those 2 players are the only players that are worth our pick.

This. I am with you. A couple other thoughts:
If we pass on Clausen, I will wonder if it was because Weis didn't think he is a franchise QB or if he was overruled. If we pick Berry, it won't matter much, but I will still wonder.

The only disappointing thing for me in picking Clausen is that it will probably mean we won't be able to snag Tate with so many defensive needs. I'm not a ND homer, but everything I see and hear about Tate makes me want to take him to address our need for WR + KR/PR.

Yeah....because having 3 Top 5 picks and not coming away with a QB is fucking outstanding.

I didn't say that I would be fucking pissed if they didn't get both. I know that getting both is a pipe dream. I said that I'm going to be pissed if they don't get either one.

If we pass on Clausen we'll never know if Weis was overruled. If we do pick Clausen it will say a lot about Pioli.

Each passing day I read more about Tate and would be fine taking him at 36 if he were still there. If we start with Berry in the first and then Tate with the first pick in the second, I would think most Chief fans would be happy.

Gosselin isn't going to give KC a QB in his "need" mock. I'd expect Bulaga there. National folks basically think Albert sucks at LT and will work elsewhere on the OL, therefore meaning LT is a big need.

Dan Williams would make sense as his "need" pick, but he seems to like picking different guys 1-2-3, perhaps to blur the player he'll mock in his final edition.

wow ... no small expectations hereI like how the only people who have brought up Mark Sanchez in the past year since the last draft are:

1. Raised on DarthCarlSatan
2. People accusing the people who wanted Sanchez to be drafted last year of pining for Sanchez nonstop

Mecca talks about why an offensive tackle is a bad move this year. The response: "Get over Sanchez."

Hamas talks about how awful of a pick Tyson Jackson was. The response: "Get over Sanchez."

And now here. Pestilence talks about how he really wants the Chiefs to take Clausen WITHOUT so much as bringing up last year's draft. Not once in the thread. The response: "Get over Sanchez."

I usually don't engage in these pissing matches between the "factions" of the board, but from what I can see, anybody labeled a "Sanchez nuthugger" didn't even bring up Mark Sanchez as the topic of conversation. And that's the majority of the time. Yes, the MAJORITY. It's people like you that bring him up as a reason why other people are wrong and/or being dickbags.

Still has NOTHING to do with Pioli...the Steelers made some sort of panic move and jumped on the first offer they got...Jets win, everyone else's loss I suppose.

But I guess it gave Dane/Mecca/OTWP and Hamas 300 posts of Pioli bashing so YAY!!!!

You honestly think the only people to bring up Sanchez in the past year are ROR and people like Laz who were sick of the drafturbators?The majority of the time, yes. 90%+.

It's childish antics from people who hate Sanchez. Most of the Mark Sanchez people from last year weren't even that excited about him as a fabulous prospect. Several were, because Sanchez has a lot going for him. But what Sanchez WAS to them, was 1. VALUE at #3 overall and 2. A CHANGE from the way this franchise has been run since 1970. A much-needed change, certainly.

But the pick didn't happen. We took Tyson Jackson instead. Those people bitch about Tyson Jackson because he was SUCH a shitty pick. Mark Sanchez, BJ Raji, Aaron Curry..... Jesus Fuck even Eugene Monroe would have been a better fucking pick. When those people bring up Sanchez, it's in reference to how shitty the Jackson pick was... not necessarily that Sanchez is going to be an all-world beater and dominate the NFL. Though it appears he's got a bright future ahead for him.

Yeah....because having 3 Top 5 picks and not coming away with a QB is ****ing outstanding.



Cassel, by all counts, looks like a bust but they traded a high 2nd round pick last year to get him, so I can't fault them for not taking a QB last year. Feel free to say they were wrong about trading for him, but his first year starting (2008) stats were great compared to some of the best QB's in the league.

Everyone loses sight of it, but McDaniels burned his relationship with Cutler over Cassel and most media outlets hailed us for making the trade at the time. Now they bash us because he played like crap.

Outside of Stafford, there wasn't one QB worth taking in the top 10, let alone at 3, IMO. You simply don't give up that high of a pick for a QB with one college season of starting experience. Granted Sanchez started more in college, but Cassel started in the NFL and did a good job in 2008. He was a MUCH safer pick in the 2nd than Sanchez was at #3. Yes I realize I said "safer".

Not that TJ was worth taking at 3, he sucks.

I do find it funny when someone will bag on Cassel but stick up for Albert and make excuses for him that they would not make for Cassel.

Pioli's first year here sucked. I think we would all agree on that. 2010 looks much better so far; re-signing Chambers, not re-signing Brown, signing Jones, Lilja & Weigmann, adding Weis & Crennell.

Just highlighting the ones I want to talk about:
12. Miami Dolphins:
Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Can help Dolphins cover Wes Welker

14. Seattle Seahawks:
Ryan Mathews, HB, Fresno State
Seahawks rushed for only 7 TDs in 2009


15. New York Giants:
Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee
Not re-signing Fred Robbins opens spot

25. Baltimore Ravens:
Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State
A good player always slides to Ravens


26. Arizona Cardinals:
Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
Departure of Anquan Boldin leaves void


On Miami: I get his rationale (if Pioli takes a safety then Parcells is just as likely to) but I can't see Dan Williams getting past them. If he did and he went to the Giants, they would be greatly improved.

Seahawks taking Mathews over Spiller?

Bryant to the Ravens after they added Stallworth & Boldin? Actually seems like a good fit.

Thomas to Arizona with their O-line issues makes no sense. Breaston & Doucet are very good.

Fucking idiot much?

I've said it over and over and over and over, but just for your tiny, child-like, retarded fucking mind, I'll say it again:

Pioli could have taken Oher, Maclin, Cushing, Matthews or Harvin on draft day and people would have bitched. The problem is that "people" would be wrong: Those guys were ALL fucking studs that seriously outplayed their draft position.

Pioli OTOH, chose Tyson Fucking Jackson, a 5-tech, 3-4 DE at #3 overall.

#3 OVERALL.

There wasn't much difference last year between Jackson and Magee, who was taken in the third round!

Add to the fact that Pioli whiffed on the Cassel trade, chose Donald Fucking Washington over a WR like Louis Murphy, took a right tackle that didn't even have a profile on NFL.com and was quickly moved to guard, and you're looking at a DISASTROUS 2009 draft.

Pioli utterly botched this draft. It was awful. Shitty. Smelly. Farty. Poopy. It stunk. It's an abortion. You get my point, though..

Pioli took the #3 overall pick and he flushed it down the toilet along with 8 pounds of his own diarrhea. Tyson Jackson is fucking worthless because he's not even going to be Richard Seymour. And even if he does, that's not CLOSE to the kind of value you need at #3 overall.

THAT'S what the Four Horsemen, me, and other drafturbators bitch about when they are bitching about Pioli's draft. Passing on Sanchez is just a single premise in a long list of premises that prove why Pioli was a fucking apetard last year.

Bringing in close to 50 players via the draft and FA, and hitting on TWO of them usually isn't a real positive either.

You can't swing and miss that many times if you're an 8-8 team, much less a 2-14 team.

Hell, as little talent as was on this roster, you'd think it would have been EASIER to find upgrades.
