Care to explain why? The Jaguards clearly have a need at linebacker and he is the best available.

Explain how the Jaguards clearly have a need at linebacker to me, if you will.

I certainly don't see it. They could use depth, but they don't need a starter.

Clint Ingram is looking like the real deal. The only real question is if Mike Peterson can return to top form for next year. Perhaps the only need is a capable back-up to groom for next year, but that may be for next year's draft.

The Jaguars lack talent at the position. Ingram/Peterson/Smith isn't a very strong combination and as you mentioned, there is absolutely no depth.

[Smooth Criminal]

I like the pick. I really want Jarrett but with him being gone in your draft Long would probably be my next pick.

Popular assumption by Jaguars fans is that the combo would be Peterson/Smith/Ingram, with Smith in the middle.

That IS a strong combo, and it'll likely be the best linebacking corps the team has had since the "Hardy Boys" (Kevin Hardy and Hardy Nickerson) roamed the field.

All three of those players run 4.6 or better 40s, and if Peterson was moved over to the Weakside spot, his natural position, it'd give the team the playmaker in space that it hasn't for years linebacking for them.

There isn't a weak link among those three players. I'd be fine if the team drafted a OLB in the mid-rounds AS A PROJECT, but besides that, WE DON'T NEED A STARTER.

He brings up a good point about depth, though. However, I agree that we shouldn't seek depth in the first. I'd wait until later rounds or FA.

[miamichamp_305]

I like the Fins getting Baker, I really don't see any holes in that draft. A.

[Nitschke-Hawk]

I haven't seen a mock draft without the Packers getting Peterson or Lynch (besides Scott Wright's latest) in a looooong time.

[DWhitner20]

Do you really think Okoye and Tyler leap that far up?

Awesome.He can replace Dante on punt returns

[defensiveback23]

I'm a fan of Griffin and think he would be a great fit for the Chargers. I don't think we will draft a S in the 1st round unless we cut Terrence Kiel for his drug dealing charges. AJ Smith always talks about how he loves character so Kiel has a good chance at unemployment after the season and Griffin would be a great canidate to fill in at S.

Im sorry but Reggie Nelson and Ted Ginn Jr. are both better picks then Moses, with me personally a bigger fan of Teddy Ginn Jr.

Interesting pick. The Rams certainly need help at DT, but I'm not sure I view Okoye's stock as being this high right now. Maybe it will be come April, who knows.

Yes. Okoye has been shooting up draft boards after having a great season. Also, people are very interested in his athleticism and potential.

Tyler had a great season and with a solid combine should be a 1st round pick.

[Oaktown1981]

Calvin Johnson is a good pick but I would rather have Adrian Peterson. LaMont Jordan sin't the answer he is so slow and not a RB that can take over a game.

Raiders haven't had a great RB since Bo Jackson, Marcus Allen. I know there will be a need for a WR is Moss, Porter are gone but they could draft a WR later in the draft or Trade Moss and pick up a WR late in round 1.

Raiders need to address the OL in free agency and build the tema around a stud RB like Peterson.

IMO

[Flyboy]

I like the pick for the Saints... although, I don't know who I'd rather have: Blades or Alexander?

With Troy Williamson being drafted 2 years ago at 7 and providing this team with zero production....combined with Brad Childress coming from an Andy Reid mindset of draft skill position players after round 1....I just don't see us taking Ted Ginn Jr, Dewayne Jarret or trading up to draft a Calvin Johnson.

Plus we're most likely going to win 3 more games ...which will keep us out of the playoffs by one game and having us pick around 20th...again.
We Viking faithful see this sh!t every year.


A more likely scenario would be for us to take
Patrick Willis (Ideally he'd be there at 20, realistically he's gone at 15)
or
H.B. Blades...I don't see him being able to transition into an NFL Tampa 2 the way I believe Willis can...but Blades has shown over the last 2 seasons that he's an athlete with "football skillz".

The other option I see is "Puz" Paul Posluszny from PSU.

Any of the above 3 fills our gaping need for athletic ...yet knowledgeable LB'ers (Sorry Nap Harris and E.J. Henderson)

If we go offense it would be someone like Jake Long who'd never be around at 20 , or Sam Baker (but he's a LT and we already shelled out huge money to that worthless McKinney) And could he be that RT we desperately need ? who knows.



We'll go WR...but not til round 3 at the earliest ...Steve Smith might be intreguing.

..also a pass catching TE like Matt Spaeth would just rock...but I believe that after the combine he could be a legit early 3rd rounder.



..of course the season's still going on ...so there's lots that can still happen.

Good Colts and Cardinals picks.

[disgruntledjetsfan]

I like the Jets pick, woodley would help a lot.

[FloridaFootball]

The Washington Redskins won't select a DT. We need a DE, two of our DE's are over 30 (Phillip Daniels and Renaldo Wynn) and at the DT spot we drafted Kedric Golston in the 6th round and is playing very good, he has had multiple pass deflections in the past weeks and stuffs running holes and gets to the QB, a real diamond in the rough for us. We won't go after DT, only DE or CB.

[Titans_Dynasty85]

HORRIBLE TITANS PICK!!! We would go for either Tedd Ginn Jr. or LaRon Landry.
