RavenOfProphecy's 4/01 Two-Round Mock Draft!

[Matthew Jones]

This is just basically a revised version of my previous one-round mock draft, with some changes made to accomodate criticisms some people had. Seems like most Falcons fans think they'll pull a Browns from last year and go with the offensive tackle over the quarterback, so I did that. I changed Philadelphia's pick as well, which affected picks by Green Bay and New York (N). Then, of course, I added in the second round. I had some trouble with some of the picks (particularly Tampa Bay and Seattle off the top of my head), so suggestions on second round picks especially would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I hate Antoine Cason (maybe it is unjust because I'm an ASU fan, but he just irks me), but Gooden is nice.

[rockio42]

give the rams gholston in the first and then James Hardy in the second

[D-Rod]

For the Falcons:

Good picks in Long and Brohm.

Give us Sims ahead of Laws. We have a penetrator in Babineaux; we need someone to play the nose.

Give us Godfrey ahead of Kelly. We are fairly set at WR, and CB is now a considerable need. I also don't like the injury risk.

[G-Men88]

I'd be fine with that first day for the Giants

[vidae]

I don't like the Ryan pick. Would prefer anyone you gave 6-9 over him, even corner.

Gosder is a good pick though.

[derza222]

The King pick in the second for the Jets intrigues me. Unless I'm wrong he's a pretty smart guy, which the people making decisions seem to look for, and he's definitely got raw talent. Could take a little while for both of the Jets players to reach their full potential but those are two players with a lot of athletic ability. Would definitely be an interesting day one.

[art vandelay]

A+++ Bills draft.

[T-RICH49]

Wow according to this draft KC will become the Golden Eagles :)

[proshoota25]

this would be as close to perfect of a patriots draft ive seen.

[Thunder&Lightning]

nice chargers pick.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Great picks for the Vikings. Both make perfect sense.

[JagHombre22]

Groves is a ok pick in the first (although the option could be there to select Mike Jenkins) but I would either give the Jags Dre Moore or Andre Caldwell...

[Packman1957]

First Round for the Packers is excellent.

2nd round is ok from a need standpoint.

[eaglesalltheway]

Both Eagles picks are amazing, If the draft were to happen liek this I would be the happiest NFLdraft countdown member EVER!

[BeerBaron]

ugh...i think people give the bears henne just to see me snap.

well shouldn't be giving them that fun anymore...good bears first rounder but c;mon....henne? really....i have ZERO clue what people see in this guy. all i ever saw in the plenty of michigan games i watched over the years was a decent college QB with limited pro potential as a career backup kind of guy.

he has all of the weaknesses the bears current QBs already have with even less of the strengths.

[angelsdontkill]

No Flacco for Panthers please :(
I do like Chris Williams though.

[thebow305]

I'd much rather take Malcolm Kelly at 32 instead of Mayo, then taking someone like Beau Bell in the 3rd or 4th to fill the ILB void.

[Staubach12]

Talib?! Goss... Other than that, It's good.

[farfromforgotten]

If Groves is gone in the 1st round before the 49ers pick and Cherilus is still available I would like to see them pick Cherilus there and still get Avril in round 2. Thanks for sharing your mock draft.

[hugegmenfan]

very acceptable 1st day for the Giants

[SaintsFanForLife]

Im good with it.

[RaiderFan]

Muy McFadden

[BaLLiN]

very acceptable 1st day for the Giants

acceptable, good enough for me, but not exciting

[tfry]

I'd prefer to see the Rams grab either Golston or Jake Long in the first before Dorsey. If they grab Golston in the first, Cherlious in the second I'd love it! I they drafted Long in the first I'd agree with Jackson. I also think you could make a case for Joe Flacco. Trent Green is not the safest backup IMO.

With the way your draft went, the Rams dline would be dominant in 2-3 years. DE Jackson, DE Carriker, DT Ryan, DT Dorsey. And you could still use Leonard Little in a situational role if he starts to decline. WOW!

[scar988]

Atlanta doesn't need a WR. we need CB, TE, another OT, MLB, and many many other things before we even think WR.

[Abaddon]

Still don't see the logic in McFadden to Oakland. Makes no sense.

Gholston/Ellis, on the other hand, make a ton of sense.

[Matthew Jones]

Atlanta doesn't need a WR. we need CB, TE, another OT, MLB, and many many other things before we even think WR.

Ha, yeah, like I mentioned in the topic I was kind of stumped on Atlanta because of how many picks they had. Thanks!

[49ers169]

With Gosder Cherilus available I highly doubt we reach on Avril. He is a good player but not the best player available. Not to mention I think we could get Avril in the 2nd.

I am starting to believe if Cherilus is available at #29, even with Groves on the board, we will take him.
