[foozball]

why felix jones over mendenhall and stewart for the texans?

[RaiderNation]

good raider pick

[energizerbunny]

kind of a questionable texans pick, no way they pass over Mendenhall and Stewart for Felix Jones.


I don't think Dan Connor is a first rounder, and I don't think he fits into the Cover2 that the Lions are looking to run.


I'm not sure the Packers really need a LB, much more pressing needs.... Brady Poppinga is playing really good this year


The only way I see the 49ers taking a QB is if Mike Nolan gets fired, entirely possible but I wouldn't bank on it at this point.

[FrankTheTank]

gholston for the jets is perfect.

[gdamac]

Great raider pick

[Yung Flippa]

Good Ravens pick, but the Texans would much rather have Mendenhall or Jonathan Stewart.

[T-RICH49]

great Chiefs pick

[Twinblade]

Raiders don't need a RB, If falcons are 5th, Dmac will drop to 5th as we are the only team in the top 5 that needs a RB. No other team in the top 5 has no need for one.

[Bills2083]

That seems too early for Fred Davis.
I'd rather go with Mike Jenkins/Malcolm Kelly there.

[RaiderNation]

Raiders don't need a RB, If falcons are 5th, Dmac will drop to 5th as we are the only team in the top 5 that needs a RB. No other team in the top 5 has no need for one.

Al wouldnt pass on him if both Dorsey and and C. Long is off the board.

[Beans]

bucs dont need a lb

Al is also one of the worst Owners in the nfl.

[yo123]

Really good Vikes pick.

[Caddy]

For the last time the Buccaneers do not need a LB. Barrett Ruud is manning the middle and will do so for a long time. Cato June who is playing on the strong side at the moment will either continue to play there or be moved to the weak side when Brooks retires. The vacant position will be filled by last years draftee Quincy Black with Adam Heyward and Ryan Nece being slim possibilities too.

NO MORE 1ST ROUND LB'S

[DiG]

the skins can't and won't pass on a guy like otah.

[thebow305]

chris long or vernon gholston would make more sense for the phins

[Oaktown1981]

Good pick for Oakland.

[SubNoize]

Raiders don't need a RB, If falcons are 5th, Dmac will drop to 5th as we are the only team in the top 5 that needs a RB. No other team in the top 5 has no need for one.

Of course we don't, I mean we are so loaded at RB it's not even funny. I would feel 100% confident going into the season with Justin Fargas who's never finished a season in his career and Mike Bush who's never played one NFL down. RB is a need in Oakland, maybe not as immediate as D-Line but when you have an elite prospect like McFadden staring you in the face and your roster looks thin you pull the trigger. Sounds like wishful thinking on your part.

[TACKLE]

Fred Davis is way too high. Maualuga said he's staying in school.I like the Otah pick for the Cowboys. Flozzell career is coming to an end. All together a pretty good mock.

[Vikes99ej]

Good Vikings pick. I've liked Kelly all year, and he'd do great opposite Sidney Rice. Gives us some nice, tall playmakers.

[Billingsley26]

That seems too early for Fred Davis.
I'd rather go with Mike Jenkins/Malcolm Kelly there.

I have a hunch that he skyrockets come the combine and senior bowl. I wouldnt be surprised if we are picking him at 11.

Vernon Davis anyone? Nah realistically hes a late first rounder in the mold of a Ben Watson, one of the more athletic TEs out there.

[Billingsley26]

Vernon Davis anyone? Nah realistically hes a late first rounder in the mold of a Ben Watson, one of the more athletic TEs out there.

Im think he is capable of a 4.5 forty, and with that, and a great senior bowl, and good box/T drills at the combine, and he could shoot right up.
