[jCut]

PP is a safe pick at #2, but I can dig it with the second round you gave Denver. I'm not a fan of the Carter pick, as Denver has two young safeties (McBath, Bruton) that are of his caliber. A sideline-to-sideline LB (Sturdivant?) would be perfect there.

[princefielder28]

that would be a sensational draft for the packers...the packers don't need a RB too much but LeShoure at the bottom of round two would be a steal

[coordinator0]

That's a pretty bad Ravens draft. Moore is way too much of a luxury right now, especially when guys like Kerrigan, Houston, and Heyward are on the board. Dowling just isn;t a good fit at all in our secondary, we're not a Cover 2 team and I shudder at the thought of him being matched up in man coverage the majority of the time. Matthews is a reach there, especially when a receiver like Gates is available. Yuck yuck yuck.

[Abaddon]

Oakland Raiders - CB Rashad Carmichael, Virginia Tech
Oakland Raiders - LB Dontay Moch, Nevada

This would qualify as a disappointing draft, leaving me to apply more hope to Rds 4-7 than their inherent value would warrant.

[GB12]

One of the best Packer mocks out there.

[Xiomera]

No chance the Lions take 2 offensive lineman in the first two rounds.

[Babylon]

Seattle

Like Harris and Boling, the latter could probably step in at RT and replace Locklear, who they should let walk.

As for the Pats i'm not real big on Pouncey but whatever.

[TNPatsFan]

Very nice Pats draft, as expected, lol. Interesting getting both Pouncey and Wisniewski. Wonder if that means Koppen loses his job sooner than later. Also like the Beal pick a lot.

Then at the end you just missed one of my favorites. I'm a big Deandre McDaniel fan and would have liked to see them take him over the CB. Still this would be a great draft for the Pats.

[prock]

This is a great Vikings draft. I don't really like Gabbert that much, but he seems to have the best value and we need a QB badly.

[vidae]

First off, you got all the positions right for KC. All are major areas of need.

(1) 21. Kansas City Chiefs - LB Akeem Ayers, UCLA*

I'm not in love with this pick only because Justin Houston is on the board. Houston is quickly becoming my mancrush of the year and he has no transition schemewise from college.

(2) 23. Kanasas City Chiefs - WR Jerrel Jernigan, Troy

Great pick, love it. Perfect compliment to Bowe and can work the outside with McCluster seeing slot duties.

(3) 22. Kansas City Chiefs - NT Kenrick Ellis, Hampton

I like this pick as well even if Rogers is signed. We need some depth at the position and we need a longterm NT prospect to groom no matter what happens.

Overall I'd say you did a pretty damn good job for KC, with the only exception being I'd personally prefer Houston over Ayers.

[wicket]

IF(and please dont read it any other way, I dont want a running back, saints dont need a running back) you insist on giving the saints a tailback at least make it a back that fits both the scheme of the saints and who hasnt had 1 million injury problems. The only way imaginable that you can sorta justify picking a back for the saints is because of the injury problems the saints have had at the position and picking an always injured back like murray is hardly an ideal solution to that.

Outside of that rant, decent saints first rounder although I would prefer kerrigan or heyward, acceptable second rounder although Carter can be had later by now on the back of his injury. I dont know enough about chris carter to comment on the 2nd 3rd rounder

[Bengals78]

Bowers is an OK pick to me. I would rather go inside with Dareus. Or if we take a DE I am leaning towards Quinn. On top of that, Green is still there even though I love the idea, I dont see him high on the actual Bengals boards.

Not a fan of Hankerson in the 2nd.
Denver Broncos - DE Allen Bailey, Miami (FL)
Cleveland Browns - DT Cameron Heyward, Ohio St.
Arizona Cardinals - OT Ben Ijalana, Villanova
Tennessee Titans - LB Mason Foster, Washington
Dallas Cowboys - OG Danny Watkins, Baylor
Houston Texans - NT Phil Taylor, Baylor
Minnesota Vikings - DT Muhammad Wilkerson, Temple*
Detroit Lions - OG Rodney Hudson, Florida St.
San Francisco 49ers - QB Christian Ponder, Florida St
New York Giants - LB Greg Jones, Michigan St.
Philadelphia Eagles - CB Curtis Brown, Texas
Kanasas City Chiefs - WR Jerrel Jernigan, Troy
New Orleans Saints - LB Bruce Carter, North Carolina

All taken after, All would be better IMO. (esp. bolded ones)


In round 3, Williams is absolutely perfect.

[TACKLE]

(2) 23. Kanasas City Chiefs - WR Jerrel Jernigan, Troy

Great pick, love it. Perfect compliment to Bowe and can work the outside with McCluster seeing slot duties.

Jernigan is a slot all the way.

[thebow305]

Eh, I'm not sold on Kaepernick. I know it was said that we loved him at the combine, but we interviewing a ton of QB's right now. I'd prefer Ricky Stanzi in the 3rd for Miami. Ingram is always a good pick in the 1st.

[akvikefan89]

That is a sick Vikings draft. I'm starting to think Gabbert may be the only QB we would take at #12 (too big of character concerns w/ Newton and Mallett, accuracy concerns w/ Locker.)

Wilkerson in the 2nd to replace Fat Pat is awesome.

[Unbiased]

I don't understand the point of the Jaguars taking Ballard as a DT if they just took Clayborn to fill the LE spot.

[Brent]

would be happy with that Niners draft.

[noondog]

I don't really like the idea of the Lions addressing O-line in both the 1st and second round. I know that Stafford needs to stay healthy, but our line actually played quite well last year in pass protection.

Our back seven on D desperately needs upgrading and I think at least one of the first two rounds needs to be LB or CB, if not both (I did see CB in round 3). DE is also an option at #13 if Jordan or Smith is available.

[CheeseKnuckles]

that would be a sensational draft for the packers...the packers don't need a RB too much but LeShoure at the bottom of round two would be a steal

If LeShoure falls to us there I would be really happy!

OLB RB CB I wouldn't mind that at all as our first 3 picks!

[49erNation85]

I like all the picks for SF but I'm not sure we need a RB though.I think it could wait until round 4 where we have an extra pick and go defense in RD 3 or WR eve.

[Seasonticketholder]

I HATE THE PICK OF STEPHEN PAEA! Let me repeat. I HATE THE PICK OF STEPHEN PAEA! I do not think he's the type of player we need. He's almost a repeat of Sed Ellis.

I think Ryan Kerrigan would be a better pick here.

I like the Bruce Carter pick. I would prefer Kenrick Ellis and DeAndre McDaniel in the third round. Yes, we need a RB but I am not high on DeMarco Murray.

And wicket needs to stop saying we don't need a RB. Pierre Thomas will be allowed to leave in FA.

QFT (10 char)

[txparkes49x]

I think Dontay Moch would be the pick in the third. everything else looks good.

[LonghornsLegend]

You did a great job with Dallas, but where do you have Von playing, OLB? I would prefer Tyron Smith because we are so stacked at OLB I really only like Quinn, but if Von would be a dominant opposite pass rusher I'd take it.



Love Watkins, Deunta is ideal. Great job man, you also made some great picks in here for random teams. Baldwin to SD is a match made in heaven.

[Matthew Jones]

All out of rep for today but I'll be giving more tomorrow!

[Tom Servo]

Good draft for my Browns. Green and Bowers are the only acceptable picks at 6 IMO.

Love Heyward in the 2nd, though I don't think he'll be there. He'd be a great compliment to Rubin inside but can also play LE

Acho is acceptable in the 3rd, but I'd take best available OL or CB too

[bruschis4all]

I think Wiz/Pouncey are repetitive. I'd draft Pouncey as a guard. See if you can work on that snap and convert to C. If not, go for a C next year. Koppen is signed for 2011. I'd rather go Wilkerson or P.Taylor at 33. I see Jordan as RDE in a 3-4, but sliding out to 4-2-5 de. Which Pats played over 50pct of the snaps. Would like an interior pass-rusher to rotate with Wilfork/T.Warren. Don't like Beal at all. I don't see Randall Cobb - WR - Kentucky in your draft. I'd take him at 60. No prob with Todman and Jalil Brown. I like Wiz/Pouncey. Just wouldn't draft both. One or the other.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Fantastic Falcons draft, I'd be very happy. I'm a big Marcus Gilbert fan. Didn't see Torrey Smith in this mock...

[Matthew Jones]

He must have gotten lost in the shuffle...do you think Atlanta would have taken him over Kerrigan?

[BaLLiN]

1. Gabe Carimi OT Wisconsin-
This seems like the safest pick for us, could be the best, but the team that we've become tells me that we need a more finesse OL. Whatever the direction our OC and HC decide to go would affect the OT choice, and their feelings on the progression of Will Beatty (2nd round pick 2 years ago and LT in waiting).

2. Greg Jones ILB Michigan State-
Nevis, Carter, Wilson, and Leshoure are all better picks IMO, and Jones has disappointed as of late.

3. Colin McCarthy-
This isn't my favorite of picks, we do need linebackers but we have some on our roster than have the capability to step in they just either havent been given a chance or impressed enough.

[gouldo]

No chance the Lions take 2 offensive lineman in the first two rounds.

I wouldnt be surprised if they do. They need someone to protect Stafford.

I could see that happening.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

He must have gotten lost in the shuffle...do you think Atlanta would have taken him over Kerrigan?


I think it'd be a toss up really. I would say it'd depend on FA but that's all uncertain. If I had to guess I'd say we'd go Kerrigan.

[GoRavens]

terrible for the ravens.
Safety isn't a first round need and a CB like Dowling isn't needed.

[Matthew Jones]

IF(and please dont read it any other way, I dont want a running back, saints dont need a running back) you insist on giving the saints a tailback at least make it a back that fits both the scheme of the saints and who hasnt had 1 million injury problems. The only way imaginable that you can sorta justify picking a back for the saints is because of the injury problems the saints have had at the position and picking an always injured back like murray is hardly an ideal solution to that.

Outside of that rant, decent saints first rounder although I would prefer kerrigan or heyward, acceptable second rounder although Carter can be had later by now on the back of his injury. I dont know enough about chris carter to comment on the 2nd 3rd rounder

I see Murray as an extremely effective back in a spread type of offense and a member of a running back committee. For 10-15 touches a game, he would have an easier time staying healthy, and offers a ton out of the shotgun formation, whether it's taking delayed handoffs, blocking, or catching passes (71 catches in 2010.) He can also return kicks, and I think Pierre Thomas might be out this year in New Orleans. Thanks though, +rep.

[Matthew Jones]

All out of rep again today, still getting to some of the most helpful posts!

[Poz51]

Buffalo Bills - QB Cam Newton, Auburn*
Buffalo Bills - OT Derek Sherrod, Mississippi St.
Buffalo Bills - DE Jarvis Jenkins, Clemson
Jacksonville Jaguars - LB Kelvin Sheppard, Louisiana St.
[/LIST]

I love the Bills mock, it fits need and value wise IMO, I could see it going down like that for Buffalo as long as those guys are available when they pick. Personally I would not mind Shepard in the third round over Jenkins, but Jenkins fits just as well. Nice job with the Bills.
