I was hoping Marcus Howard from Georgia would fall to me to help the LBing group, but I have to play the cards I'm dealt. The Rams, determined to solidify their O-line select, from Ohio State, RT Kirk Barton and show how to rebuild an O-line that was in dire straits.

The Falcons have Matt Ryan and now they need to get him some weapons. There are some good WRs available, but the Falcons love the size, speed, hands and leaping ability of one prospect above the others. There are injury concerns as he had surgery and missed most of the 2007 season. However, after workouts and his pro day the Falcons believe he is healthy and his athletic ability, size and production despite playing in a running offense with horrible QBs (50 receptions, 900+yds, 11TDs in 2006) are too much to pass up. Strongly considered Will Franklin, but Monk, when healthy, produced more against better competition and with less of a supporting cast.
With the 129th pick the Atlanta Falcons select WR Marcus Monk, Arkansas.

I don't think it was a steal of a pick or anything, but I do believe it's a smart pick. I don't know exactly how the Falcons could "love" his speed, which last I read was 4.6, but it's hard to complain about a 6'5" receiver ever.
But I would have preferred Keenan Burton or Adrian Arrington over him. But eh, I don't know what it is but DaKCManAP and I seem to disagree on everything over the Draft. Overall it's hard to complain about the pick. |

As far as Monk's speed, he ran 4.57 at the combine and 4.41 at pro day. That plus being 6'4" with a sick 36" vertical and 10-2 broad jump.

The Donks need help at LB. With the 130th pick in the Chiefs Planet 2008 Mock Draft the Denver Broncos select, linebacker from Virginia Tech, Vince Hall.

Mecca's on the clock.....
Is he taking the Center, or sticking to BPA and taking another defender? |

John Sullivan's my pick here if I'm picking for the Chiefs. There's really only a couple OL left worthy of this pick, and Sullivan's one of them.
It's possible that Mecca just gives ChiefsPlanet the bird and keeps drafting who he likes, be it Dennis Dixon to stack the Chiefs up with young QBs, OLB Jordan Dizon who needs a little weight but is a good fit to be a WOLB in the Cover 2, or FB Peyton Hillis who might be the most complete player remaining. Hell Terrence Wheatley's still on the board which is fairly surprising. I figured somebody here would be interested enough to have thrown a pick his way, but I think his size is scaring people. |

Wouldn't necessarily be surprised though if the pick is Langford, Lowery or Wheatley. |

DeJuan Tribble? Andre Fuellen? Kory Lichtensteiger? DJ Hall? Dexter Jackson? If it's not one of the players D or I listed, and not one of the 6 I listed in this post, then either my board is ****ed up, or yours is. |
