****Official 2008 CP Mock Draft Picks Thread****

[OnTheWarpath15]

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.

I have been saying for a long time that Dorsey will go to Atlanta and I still believe that.

I think, though, that Ryan goes to the Jets. In fact, if Ryan is there at 4 and C. Long is gone, I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets trade up in front of the Chiefs to get Ryan.

Just a feeling.

2. Holy crap, that was a reach. I didn't think it was possible for someone to reach that insanely at the top of the 6th freaking round, but you just spent a 6th round pick on a player that I don't think (nor do most people) that will even be drafted.

Scott Wright has him ranked over a player that you shot your load over in Tony Hills and a player Mecca took in Barry Richardson. I think he is a solid pick, he is your typical right tackle.

[ChiefsCountry]

Mecca nice pick with Stevens. He will fill Dunn's spot very nicely.

I think Dorsey is better than Chris Long, he won't have the sack numbers, but, he'll have just as much impact on pressuring the QB from the inside instead of the outside. I also see Dorsey helping solidify the Rams running game, too, something Chris Long won't be able to compete with Dorsey with. Edge goes to Dorsey. Brick wall, my friend, brick wall.

James Hall is no longer with the Rams.

Their depth chart at DE is:

Leonard Little
Victor Adeyanju
Trevor Johnson

Yuck.

[DaKCMan AP]

After losing both Allen Rossum and DeAngelo Hall in consecutive years the Falcons need more than just Patrick Lee and progress from David Irons to shore up their secondary and help out Chris Houston. This guy could have gone in the 4th or 5th round and he has great speed, but he doesn't have great size (5'9" 186) and he's from a smaller school. He can come in right away and contribute at nickel or dime.

With the 163rd pick the Atlanta Falcons select Jack Williams, CB Kent State.

It's exactly what Mecca believes.

I don't think he has a prayer at RT. He's a massive guy alright, but if he plays anywhere in the NFL, it'll be inside.

Perhaps I was too harsh -- I do think some team will gamble on him in the seventh round simply because of his size (6'7", 330+), but he's just such a lumbering, slow guy that I think he's going to be out of luck against even moderately quick DTs.

Yuck.

James Hall was re-signed to a ONE year deal. Believe me, I did the research. Not only that-I'm not going to draft based on need, but on best available player.

[Direckshun]

How can you honestly say that Dorsey is a better DT than Chris Long is a DE?

It's just apples and oranges to me, which is why I don't follow a strict list of BPA (I kind of just throw my top ten list together based on teh players I like the most). How on earth can you tell the difference between the #78 player and the #79 player if they play two completely different positions.

That's why I have everybody sorted out on "levels," more than anything, rather than having a strict list. It allows for flexibility, and I'm entirely certain that's what Herm does.

I have Chris Long and Dorsey down as "cream of the crop." Now if you genuinely think Dorsey's crop is creamier than Long's (gross), that's on you. But I just don't see how a prospect can get any higher than Chris. Dorsey's up there with him, sure, but I don't see how he gets any higher.

It is splitting hairs-I'm not saying Long isn't a phenomenal draft prospect-he is. However, I think Dorsey has a more COMPLETE game-he's great at pressuring the QB from the inside AND he is fierce against the run. Long isn't great at his run-stopping ability- that alone edges Dorsey past Long in my book. Complete is better than specialized in my book.

direckshun i was wondering if you agree if brohm falls to our second round pick we should take him.

Dorsey is to DTs what Mario Williams, Joe Thomas and Adrian Peterson were to their positions. Chris Long is to DE what Gaines Adams was, and he's just not a special prospect.

That's something I waffle on. I don't think he'd be a bad pick.

I just don't know, I guess. It's a very hard question and I'm glad I'm not the one who has to make it.

[chiefscafan]

BPA direckshun he looks like now he is gonna fall behind falco and henne this is why I can't stand scouts. Brohm is probably gonna be better than both.

If he is there in the second we have to take him.

starting to like

1. Albert
2. Brohm
