****Official 2008 CP Mock Draft Picks Thread**** - Page 60

**OnTheWarpath15** · 06:46 PM

The following trades have effected the draft order:

Corey Williams to Cleveland for a R2 pick.

Shaun Rogers to Cleveland for a R3 pick.

Kris Jenkins to the Jets for a R3 pick.

Marcus Stroud to the Bills for a R3 pick.

Redskins to Broncos. The Washington Redskins traded their fourth-round selection in 2008, and their third-round selection in 2007 (used to select Ryan Harris) to the Denver Broncos as part of a three-team trade in which Washington received T.J. Duckett and Atlanta received Ashley Lelie. (This was the result of a formula which could have had Denver and Washington swapping 2007 first-round selections.)

Saints to Jets. The Saints traded their fourth-round selection in 2008 to the Jets, for Jonathan Vilma.

Jets to Panthers. The New York Jets traded their third-round and fifth-round selections to the Carolina Panthers in a deal that sent Kris Jenkins to New York.

Dolphins to Chiefs. Miami (conditionally) traded its fifth-round selection in 2008 to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for Trent Green. The selection would have become a fourth-round selection if Green had met certain performance criteria.

Bears to Bills. Chicago (conditionally) traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Buffalo in exchange for Darwin Walker. The round of the selection may change, depending on Walker's playing time.

Panthers to Bears. The Carolina Panthers traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Chicago in exchange for Chris Harris.

Raiders to Broncos. Oakland (conditionally) traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Denver in exchange for Gerard Warren.

Bills to Jaguars The Buffalo Bills traded a 3rd and 5th round selection to the Jacksonville Jaguars in return for DT Marcus Stroud.

Seahawks to Browns. The Seattle Seahawks traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to Cleveland in exchange for Charlie Frye.[24]

Packers to Giants. The Green Bay Packers traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to the New York Giants in exchange for running back Ryan Grant.

Broncos to Rams. Denver traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to the St. Louis Rams for defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy.[26] The trade occurred after the Broncos had tried to trade the same pick to Miami for defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson; that trade was voided.

Browns to Eagles. Cleveland traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to Philadelphia for center Hank Fraley. The trade was conditional on games started by Fraley, and could have fallen to a seventh-round pick, but Fraley started all 16 games.

Cowboys/Dolphins swap. The teams swapped their sixth-round selections in a trade involving Jason Ferguson.

Jaguars to Vikings. Jacksonville traded their sixth-round selection for Troy Williamson.

Texans to Broncos. Houston traded their sixth-round pick for Chris Myers.

Steelers to Falcons. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Atlanta for kick/punt returner Allen Rossum.

Seahawks to Eagles. Seattle traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Philadelphia for fullback Josh Parry.

Eagles to Bills. Philadelphia traded their seventh-round selection in 2008, and defensive tackle Darwin Walker, to Buffalo for linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb.

Rams to Vikings. St. Louis traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Minnesota for offensive tackle Adam Goldberg.

Giants to Chiefs. The New York Giants traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Kansas City for kicker Lawrence Tynes.

Vikings to Jets. Minnesota traded their seventh-round pick in 2008 to the Jets in exchange for Brooks Bollinger.

Bengals to Rams. Cincinnati traded their seventh-round pick in 2008 to St. Louis in exchange for Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Alright Hamas you're up, just don't draft any dead guys.....

'Hamas' Jenkins · 03-26-2008, 10:51 PM

Wow... I'm ecstatic that this guy fell to me.

Yes, I've already drafted two LBs, but I feel that Gholston and Avril could also play end if Miami went to a speed-rushing, four aces type front like the Giants run on third.

Once again, Reggie Torbor is just a depth guy, Joey Porter is a product of the Pitt system and is closing in on 31.

I thought about Erik Ainge at QB and Mike Pollack at center, but Samson Satele was just drafted last year, and he can play either Center or guard. I also pondered over a couple of other prospects who are lesser known, but I'm going to withhold their names for hope that they'll drop to my next picks.

With the 96th pick in the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Jonathan Goff, ILB, Vanderbilt University.

That would give Miami a linebacking corps of Gholston, Crowder, Goff, and Avril.

**The Franchise** · 03-26-2008, 11:31 PM

That's a sick and young LB core.

Wow. I started catching up around here this morning and thought this was all a John Goodman-like joke.

Bummer.

Direckshun · 03-27-2008, 06:52 AM

RIP Heath Benedict

I know nothing about the guy except for what I've seen of him on the field.

This was a cool draft. Let's do this again next year. Thanks everyone. Hopefully I represented the Pats well.

We should do some kind of consensus draft grading of the first three rounds by all of the teams.

I'd love to do something where I grade all teams in the first three rounds.

I'll actually probably do it over the course of this thread for when I've got downtime. Hell I'll probably do some teams today, just for kicks.

Any one of you that gets your panties in a bunch can blow me.

Direckshun · 03-27-2008, 07:00 AM

Oh man, I really think the Rams have a special opportunity here.

They've done a good job so far improving themselves in the trenches, and Caldwell was a pretty good pick for their receiving corps, but they've only got the underwhelming Brett Romberg at center. The best centers are still on the board, and any one of them would provide an immediate upgrade and Day One starter.

My thoughts exactly. I've been hoping Pollack would fall to me. The Rams select the best center prospect in the draft and select, C Mike Pollak.

Direckshun · 03-27-2008, 08:53 AM

I'm going to appease Marco Polo and do a few team gradings of their first three days, now that we're at our 4th-round-and-beyond stretch.

This is all my opinion, by the way.

New England Patriots (Marco Polo) - B+

Out of the Patriots' four picks in the first three rounds, I thought two of them were reaches by a full round. OLB Xavier Abidi is barely a hair over 220 lbs, which is going to need a hell of a lot of work to play the tougher smashmouth run games that the Patriots struggled with, and CB Chevis Jackson was taken very prematurely (his ceiling's too low to warrant a 3rd).

But I give them a B+ almost entirely on their pick of Jake Long at #7, a steal if there ever was one. I don't think there's any way Jake Long falls that far, but since he did the Patriots made a dynamite pick there. Shawn Crable is a dynamic OLB that should do very well in the Patriots pass-rushing scheme. He was picked waaaay too late, and the Pats got their second piece of incredible value there.

Dallas Cowboys (htismaqe) - A

I've gone rounds with Mecca on this, but OT Chris Williams and CB Aqib Talib were a great one-two punch in the first. Flozelle Adams did sign a contract through the age of 40, but if you believe he's holding that down for any more than a year or two, you're welcome to that opinion but I disagree. Williams should provide the Cowboys a future LT, and Talib will fare better than some here have assumed.

I also loved his two picks later on in the Draft. They got a home run type runner in Jamaal Charles late in the second for solid value, and Eddie Royal was a fair pick in the 3rd to give them some youth at the position. I still think Steltz would have been the better pick in the third but Royal can provide the Cowboys some extra options on offense.

Buffalo Bills (Direckshun/sfeihc/OnTheWarpath58) - A-

The Bills have a legitimate CB of the future in Jenkins in the 1st, eschewing reaching for WR Malcolm Kelley in the 1st. It was a smart pick (mine, of course) that gave their thinning CB corps some life. It wasn't a conventional pick but it was the right one to make, as was Earl Bennett in the third. Bennett was great value at that point and though he doesn't have the prototypical size of a possession receiver, his route-running and sheer force of will should help Edwards get some tough yards.

Now, I wasn't crazy about Fred Davis in the second, but it's a pick I can live with. Despite being a hair undersized, Davis was a solid blocker at USC, but it remains to be seen if he can continue that trend in the NFL. He does add an element of dynamism across the middle, so with Bennett, Losman may have himself a good receiving corps in a year or two.

**The Franchise** · 03-27-2008, 09:03 AM

Oh God....what about the Packers. lol

www.rotoworld.com

LSU LB Ali Highsmith ran a 4.70, a 4.72, and a 4.87 in the forty-yard dash at the Tigers' Pro Day Wednesday.

We've seen Highsmith nearly run down Darren McFadden from behind, but he just doesn't time well. He also measured in at a defensive back-esque 6'0/221. His vertical was only 29", though he did bench 225 23 times. Highsmith will likely be a late pick in April, if he's picked at all.

I think the Bills might have the best draft, 3 biggest needs filled without reaching to much.

The Rams are looking pretty good as well.

Washington Redskins (Sully) - D

Sully got seduced by Combine numbers, or Boston College, or Wonderlic scores, or something. I can't figure why he reached for Cherilus in the first round. I believe he could have a bright future in this league, but Williams, Otah, Nicks, and Baker are every bit the tackle he is, mostly with better feet and far more upside. Cherilus at #21? Risky pick, and I really don't like it.

I wasn't much happier, in fact I believe I was less happy, with WR Jordy Nelson in the second. Opinions are widely ranged on this guy but Nelson will be, at best, a really good role player in the NFL. I don't think the Redskins were so desperate for a possession receiver that they had to reach one or two rounds for Nelson. S Josh Barrett was good value in the third, but that's like putting whip cream on a pile of horse crap and calling it dessert.

Atlanta Falcons (jiketurkey) - B-

Turkey's been screwed. Not only did his Falcons acquire their third 2nd rounder after the mock passed it, his solid third round pick passed away yesterday. Geez.

But you can hardly argue with Matt Ryan at #3. It's a good pick, and one that can safely develop while the Falcons rebuild this year and put out a couple vet QBs for slaughter. I don't know if Ryan physically has what it takes, but he's got a Pro Bowl mind and that ought to be good for something in this game.

The Falcons are going to have a great 2nd round this year, but their 2nd round in this mock was so-so. Patrick Lee will beef up their secondary, and he was a solid pick, but Okam's a gigantic fatso 1- and 2-tech DT who just eats up space. The Falcons should have passed on him and just acquired Bryant in the 3rd -- he was definitely going to be there. Space-eaters in a 4-3 don't warrant such a first day pick.

Minnesota Vikings (Zeke Ziggle) - C

Ultimately, we aren't going to know the value of the Viking's Draft for a couple more years. It could be a genius Draft for picking up Woodson, a 3rd rounder with 1st round talent. Or it could be merely average. Woodson is going to need expert QB coaching, but keep in mind Minnesota's QB coaches thought starting Jackson would pan out and they also drafted Thigpen in the 7th round, so...

Merling was a necessary pick in the 1st round. I'm lukewarm on the DEs in this Draft in general but Merling was a fair pick, the Vikes absolutely need a pass-rush. TE John Carlson in the middle of the 2nd was a gigantic need-reach for a guy who isn't that fast, isn't that good of a blocker, and isn't that tough. DT Marcus Harrison was a need-reach as well but at least it boasts some promise.

OnTheWarpath15 MVP Join Date: Sep 2005 Casino cash: $2051115	The following trades have effected the draft order: Corey Williams to Cleveland for a R2 pick. Shaun Rogers to Cleveland for a R3 pick. Kris Jenkins to the Jets for a R3 pick. Marcus Stroud to the Bills for a R3 pick. Redskins to Broncos. The Washington Redskins traded their fourth-round selection in 2008, and their third-round selection in 2007 (used to select Ryan Harris) to the Denver Broncos as part of a three-team trade in which Washington received T.J. Duckett and Atlanta received Ashley Lelie. (This was the result of a formula which could have had Denver and Washington swapping 2007 first-round selections.) Saints to Jets. The Saints traded their fourth-round selection in 2008 to the Jets, for Jonathan Vilma. Jets to Panthers. The New York Jets traded their third-round and fifth-round selections to the Carolina Panthers in a deal that sent Kris Jenkins to New York. Dolphins to Chiefs. Miami (conditionally) traded its fifth-round selection in 2008 to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for Trent Green. The selection would have become a fourth-round selection if Green had met certain performance criteria. Bears to Bills. Chicago (conditionally) traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Buffalo in exchange for Darwin Walker. The round of the selection may change, depending on Walker's playing time. Panthers to Bears. The Carolina Panthers traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Chicago in exchange for Chris Harris. Raiders to Broncos. Oakland (conditionally) traded their fifth-round selection in 2008 to Denver in exchange for Gerard Warren. Bills to Jaguars The Buffalo Bills traded a 3rd and 5th round selection to the Jacksonville Jaguars in return for DT Marcus Stroud. Seahawks to Browns. The Seattle Seahawks traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to Cleveland in exchange for Charlie Frye.[24] Packers to Giants. The Green Bay Packers traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to the New York Giants in exchange for running back Ryan Grant. Broncos to Rams. Denver traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to the St. Louis Rams for defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy.[26] The trade occurred after the Broncos had tried to trade the same pick to Miami for defensive tackle Dan Wilkinson; that trade was voided. Browns to Eagles. Cleveland traded their sixth-round selection in 2008 to Philadelphia for center Hank Fraley. The trade was conditional on games started by Fraley, and could have fallen to a seventh-round pick, but Fraley started all 16 games. Cowboys/Dolphins swap. The teams swapped their sixth-round selections in a trade involving Jason Ferguson. Jaguars to Vikings. Jacksonville traded their sixth-round selection for Troy Williamson. Texans to Broncos. Houston traded their sixth-round pick for Chris Myers. Steelers to Falcons. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Atlanta for kick/punt returner Allen Rossum. Seahawks to Eagles. Seattle traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Philadelphia for fullback Josh Parry. Eagles to Bills. Philadelphia traded their seventh-round selection in 2008, and defensive tackle Darwin Walker, to Buffalo for linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb. Rams to Vikings. St. Louis traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Minnesota for offensive tackle Adam Goldberg. Giants to Chiefs. The New York Giants traded their seventh-round selection in 2008 to Kansas City for kicker Lawrence Tynes. Vikings to Jets. Minnesota traded their seventh-round pick in 2008 to the Jets in exchange for Brooks Bollinger. Bengals to Rams. Cincinnati traded their seventh-round pick in 2008 to St. Louis in exchange for Ryan Fitzpatrick. When making your selection, please list the player's name, his position and the school he played for.

'Hamas' Jenkins Now you've pissed me off! Join Date: Jan 2006 Casino cash: $7129572	Wow... I'm ecstatic that this guy fell to me. Yes, I've already drafted two LBs, but I feel that Gholston and Avril could also play end if Miami went to a speed-rushing, four aces type front like the Giants run on third. Once again, Reggie Torbor is just a depth guy, Joey Porter is a product of the Pitt system and is closing in on 31. I thought about Erik Ainge at QB and Mike Pollack at center, but Samson Satele was just drafted last year, and he can play either Center or guard. I also pondered over a couple of other prospects who are lesser known, but I'm going to withhold their names for hope that they'll drop to my next picks. With the 96th pick in the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Jonathan Goff, ILB, Vanderbilt University. That would give Miami a linebacking corps of Gholston, Crowder, Goff, and Avril. __________________ "When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read 'all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.'

They've done a good job so far improving themselves in the trenches, and Caldwell was a pretty good pick for their receiving corps, but they've only got the underwhelming Brett Romberg at center. The best centers are still on the board, and any one of them would provide an immediate upgrade and Day One starter.

Direckshun __ Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Springpatch Casino cash: $2033447	I'm going to appease Marco Polo and do a few team gradings of their first three days, now that we're at our 4th-round-and-beyond stretch. This is all my opinion, by the way. New England Patriots (Marco Polo) - B+ Out of the Patriots' four picks in the first three rounds, I thought two of them were reaches by a full round. OLB Xavier Abidi is barely a hair over 220 lbs, which is going to need a hell of a lot of work to play the tougher smashmouth run games that the Patriots struggled with, and CB Chevis Jackson was taken very prematurely (his ceiling's too low to warrant a 3rd). But I give them a B+ almost entirely on their pick of Jake Long at #7, a steal if there ever was one. I don't think there's any way Jake Long falls that far, but since he did the Patriots made a dynamite pick there. Shawn Crable is a dynamic OLB that should do very well in the Patriots pass-rushing scheme. He was picked waaaay too late, and the Pats got their second piece of incredible value there. Dallas Cowboys (htismaqe) - A I've gone rounds with Mecca on this, but OT Chris Williams and CB Aqib Talib were a great one-two punch in the first. Flozelle Adams did sign a contract through the age of 40, but if you believe he's holding that down for any more than a year or two, you're welcome to that opinion but I disagree. Williams should provide the Cowboys a future LT, and Talib will fare better than some here have assumed. I also loved his two picks later on in the Draft. They got a home run type runner in Jamaal Charles late in the second for solid value, and Eddie Royal was a fair pick in the 3rd to give them some youth at the position. I still think Steltz would have been the better pick in the third but Royal can provide the Cowboys some extra options on offense. Buffalo Bills (Direckshun/sfeihc/OnTheWarpath58) - A- The Bills have a legitimate CB of the future in Jenkins in the 1st, eschewing reaching for WR Malcolm Kelley in the 1st. It was a smart pick (mine, of course) that gave their thinning CB corps some life. It wasn't a conventional pick but it was the right one to make, as was Earl Bennett in the third. Bennett was great value at that point and though he doesn't have the prototypical size of a possession receiver, his route-running and sheer force of will should help Edwards get some tough yards. Now, I wasn't crazy about Fred Davis in the second, but it's a pick I can live with. Despite being a hair undersized, Davis was a solid blocker at USC, but it remains to be seen if he can continue that trend in the NFL. He does add an element of dynamism across the middle, so with Bennett, Losman may have himself a good receiving corps in a year or two. Last edited by Direckshun; 03-27-2008 at 09:16 AM..

We've seen Highsmith nearly run down Darren McFadden from behind, but he just doesn't time well. He also measured in at a defensive back-esque 6'0/221. His vertical was only 29", though he did bench 225 23 times. Highsmith will likely be a late pick in April, if he's picked at all.

S Josh Barrett was good value in the third, but that's like putting whip cream on a pile of horse crap and calling it dessert. Atlanta Falcons (jiketurkey) - B- Turkey's been screwed. Not only did his Falcons acquire their third 2nd rounder after the mock passed it, his solid third round pick passed away yesterday. Geez. But you can hardly argue with Matt Ryan at #3. It's a good pick, and one that can safely develop while the Falcons rebuild this year and put out a couple vet QBs for slaughter. I don't know if Ryan physically has what it takes, but he's got a Pro Bowl mind and that ought to be good for something in this game. The Falcons are going to have a great 2nd round this year, but their 2nd round in this mock was so-so. Patrick Lee will beef up their secondary, and he was a solid pick, but Okam's a gigantic fatso 1- and 2-tech DT who just eats up space. The Falcons should have passed on him and just acquired Bryant in the 3rd -- he was definitely going to be there. Space-eaters in a 4-3 don't warrant such a first day pick. Minnesota Vikings (Zeke Ziggle) - C Ultimately, we aren't going to know the value of the Viking's Draft for a couple more years. It could be a genius Draft for picking up Woodson, a 3rd rounder with 1st round talent. Or it could be merely average. Woodson is going to need expert QB coaching, but keep in mind Minnesota's QB coaches thought starting Jackson would pan out and they also drafted Thigpen in the 7th round, so... Merling was a necessary pick in the 1st round. I'm lukewarm on the DEs in this Draft in general but Merling was a fair pick, the Vikes absolutely need a pass-rush. TE John Carlson in the middle of the 2nd was a gigantic need-reach for a guy who isn't that fast, isn't that good of a blocker, and isn't that tough. DT Marcus Harrison was a need-reach as well but at least it boasts some promise.
