Imprint3454 Mock Draft v1.0

[imprint3454]

Atlanta, Kansas City, and Oakland had the same strength-of-schedule in the 2007 season. Since Kansas City finished third in the AFC West Division and the Raiders fourth (the tie was broken on the basis of record in common games), the Raiders will draft ahead of the Chiefs. Atlanta and Oakland will flip a coin for the third position. If Atlanta wins, the Falcons will draft third, the Raiders fourth, and the Chiefs fifth. If the Raiders win the coin flip, they will draft third, and the Falcons and Chiefs will flip a coin to determine the fourth and fifth positions.

I did a coin flip to determine the order of this mock draft. Atlanta won the toss with Oakland, winning the third overall pick.

[TACKLE]

Interesting mock. I like how you have some originial picks. Balmer to the Broncos is different but he might bring some pass rush up the middle. The Lions took Drew Stanton last year early in the 2nd round last year so I don't think they'll take a QB. I The Giants won't take a RB in round 1 because their runningbacks have been doing a great job and they already have a speed back in Ahmad Bradshaw.

[Paul]

I hate the mock for the cowboys. First off there is no CB, which is our biggest need to the 'enth degree. Not a big fan of Sweed in the first at all. And the fact that MBIII will be probably getting a big contract this offseason, probably means we will not invest a first rounder on a RB. But maybe a 2nd or a 3rd. Phillip Wheeler?

[indyfan1985]

Give the Colts OG Roy Shuening in the 2nd. Then in the 3rd I believe they will either go DL, WR, or RB.

[bored of education]

A+ for Kc. I see your high on Castille. I think he can play S or cover 2 corner. I dont see Tenn going after Flowers but then I do since they will probably cut Pacman. Buffalo snagging Hefney is solid because he can play CB as well. people will unknowningly say something aobut it, but that is a greaat pick.

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

I think Ellis is a more realistic pick than Gholston.But its still a good pick.Since we passed on DT in the 1st give us Dre Moore in the 2nd.Overall good mock for Oakland.

[Turtlepower]

Bad Giants mock. RB is not a huge concern for us when we have Jacobs, Bradshaw and Ward. You missed our 3 biggest needs of OLB, CB, and S until the 3rd round. Also, Frank Okam sucks.

[thetedginnshow]

Probably the worst Jets mock I've seen.

[Crickett]

6. New York Jets (4-12): Keith River, OLB, U.S.C.
37. New York Jets (4-12): Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas
69. New York Jets (4-12): John Carlson, TE, Notre Dame

I'm sure this would be a great draft for another team, but it does absolutely to address any of the Jets needs, improve the overall talent of the team or in the case of Rivers, draft someone who even fits the scheme.

[fenikz]

Dude you ruined the draft with Colt Brennan. Reggie Smith & Jonathan Stewart would of been sweet, but why would we pick Brennan? Do you like him over Leinart and Warner? Give us Tony Hilis there.

[imprint3454]

Dude you ruined the draft with Colt Brennan. Reggie Smith & Jonathan Stewart would of been sweet, but why would we pick Brennan? Do you like him over Leinart and Warner? Give us Tony Hilis there.I gave the Cardinals Brennan, because I believe he showed in the Sugar Bowl that he will be a career backup. And, Warner isn't getting any younger. To answer your question directly, I don't like Brennan over Leinart and Warner, but I like him to backup Leinart for the future, especially in the pass happy offense of the Cardinals with Fitzgerald and Boldin.

[KCJ58]

give us ether Sam Baker or Chris Williams in the 2nd round, not bad draft though

[Caddy]

Calais Campbell over Andre Woodson in the 1st any day of the week as far as I'm concerned. Your 2nd round pick is average although I doubt how well Rodgers-Cromartie could play in a zone defense. I like Devin Thomas to round out the 3rd round.

[Bills2083]

The Bills have enough, small, fast WRs. We need a big, physical, redzone target type of player.

this would be my ideal situation in this draft...

1st: Malcolm Kelly
2nd: Erin Henderson
3rd: Jack Ikegwuono
3rd: Jermichael Finley

[iloxygenil]

Falcons needs would be filled better if in the 2nd we took Anthony Collins and Frank Okam then in the 3rd going with John Carlson (who shouldn't be there this low anyway)

Thanks for not giving us Matty 'Ice' but I think our needs are a little bit off and I don't see us reaching for Flacco at the top of round 2.

[thebow305]

Decent Phins draft. I like the Bennett and Baker picks... but Dorsey doesn't fit our D and although Bowman is a nice player, we need more defense. We cannot use three of our top 4 picks on offense, that would not be good at all.

[Seasonticketholder]

Worst Saints draft ever. You have the Saints passing on Kenny Phillips and reaching for Connor in the first round. We pass on Curtis Lofton and take Castille in the second. And in the third, we take Tamme over both Brandon Flowers and Jack Ikegwuonu. Phillips, Lofton and Flowers would make much more sense for the Saints.

[gsorace]

6. New York Jets (4-12): Keith River, OLB, U.S.C.
37. New York Jets (4-12): Jamaal Charles, RB, Texas
69. New York Jets (4-12): John Carlson, TE, Notre Dame

If your goal was to make the worst Jets mock possible you have succeeded, Carlson is the only one who might start if he was on the team, Rivers could not be a worse fit for the Jets defense, and Charles would be our #3 running back.

[fenikz]

I gave the Cardinals Brennan, because I believe he showed in the Sugar Bowl that he will be a career backup. And, Warner isn't getting any younger. To answer your question directly, I don't like Brennan over Leinart and Warner, but I like him to backup Leinart for the future, especially in the pass happy offense of the Cardinals with Fitzgerald and Boldin.

Well in that case I think the 3rd round is way to early to be drafting a back up QB

[roidrunner]

the packers draft is uninspiring. TE is not really a major worry for us with the break out of Donald Lee. We need a CB round 1, OLB round 2. round three could go really anywhere. round one talib, smith or Ike would work

[tjsunstein]

31. Green Bay (13-3): Fred Davis, TE, U.S.C.
62. Green Bay (13-3): Jamar Adams, S, Michigan
94. Green Bay (13-3): Cody Wallace, C, Texas A&M


I would rather see Ali Highsmith over Fred Davis. Its now a known fact that TE isnt really a pressing need if we can come out with 5 wide as well as run the ball well to the outside. Franks(30) is a very good run blocker and Donald Lee(27) has emerged as a great red zone target, giving us no reason to pick Davis in the 1st especially if we passed on the 2nd best TE prospect in recent history in Greg Olsen last year. ( Best was Vernon Davis )

Jamar Adams in the second isnt a bad pick, however we used a third on Aaron Rouse and I think he will get a shot before we use another first day pick on a Safety. A better pick in this situation would be a cornerback. Dejuan Tribble is still on the board as well as the Wisconsin product Jack Ikegwuonu.

I would rather have a tackle or guard in the spot where Wallace is picked.

[hugegmenfan]

WORST GIANTS MOCK I HAVE EVER SEEN

1st round is terrible- seriously worst pick ever. We have brandon jacobs, ahmad bradshaw, derrick ward and reuben droughns as a good vet backup. yeah i dont think were drafting a HB
please give us talib or reggie smith or even sam baker

2nd round is ok but nothing special

3rd round- this is where u think we address the biggest need? ya i dont think so. Give us may b the best o lineman

[Bobo]

Titans don't need to spend 2 of their first 3 picks on CB's. Even if Pac is gone. Finnegan and Harper will start (although Harper is not the best in coverage).

We could use one pick for depth and a potential starter when Harper is done. I'd take Fred Davis in the 1st, then Avery and Flowers look good in the 2nd and 3rd.

[T-RICH49]

would prefer Thomas over Tribble in the 3rd for KC but great 1st 2 picks

[Jakey]

Pretty poops Steelers draft...actually its terrible. Sorry bro

[BeerBaron]

pretty acceptable bears draft. i would really have liked to see QB addressed somewhere though. otherwise, not bad. certainly a different take on it

[OSUGiants17]

wort draft ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[imprint3454]

Pretty poops Steelers draft...actually its terrible. Sorry broThat's why it's v1.0. ;) I'll probably come out with v2.0 right before the combine and v3.0 after the combine.

[imprint3454]

pretty acceptable bears draft. i would really have liked to see QB addressed somewhere though. otherwise, not bad. certainly a different take on itThe place for the Bears to address the quarterback position is in free agency, rather than start all over (again) with a rookie.

[jdb1972]

Clady + Moore would make me very happy for the Panthers. They're still not taking a QB, though, even in the third round.

[dozshea]

on the Jets if those 5 guys were off the board I would think they SHOULD go for Kenny Phillips or even Derrick Harvey if he has a great combine. That being said I like Carlson in the 3rd. Mangini also I can see falling in love with a guy like Ezra Butler and taking him in the 2nd, since the Patriots will undoubtedly be targeting him at the end of the 2nd due to his potential in the 3-4.

[johbur]

Overall, nice three round mock. Is Jenkins staying in school at #7?

16. Arizona (8-8 ): Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon, Nice pick for AZ to back up and take over for Edge eventually.
31. Green Bay (13-3): Fred Davis, TE, U.S.C., I don't like Davis as much as I liked Olsen last year, but he'd fight fo a starting job against Donald lee and be a serviceable #2 if he can't take the job in TC.
New England (16-0): Pick forfeited pick #32 for cheating

Round 2

47. Arizona (8-8 ): Reggie Smith, CB, Oklahoma, Good value at this point. I prefer him opposite to Adrian Wilson, rather than as a corner.
62. Green Bay (13-3): Jamar Adams, S, Michigan, This is a position that needs to be addressed, for depth if nothing else, but I'd prefer Tavares Gooden and moving him to SLB.
63. New England (16-0): Tavares Gooden, ILB, Miami

Round 3

79. Arizona (8-8 ): Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii, Not a fan of this pick. Too mnay problem areas on the team to waste a third rounder on a third string QB, who might compete with Leinart in a couple of years. Go fo O-line at this point.
94. Green Bay (13-3): Cody Wallace, C, Texas A&M, Not a good pick for the Packers, either. He is reportedly slow on his feet and doesn't move well in space. That is not what you need for the ZBS. You need guys who are quick, athletic and can get their shoulders down to cut block. A SLB at this point would be good.

[Diehard]

The value of the Broncos picks is pretty weak. I'd be pissed off with this draft unless both players really tore it up in the bowl game & workouts.
