thought i would put a mock together before the combine it helps me pass the time at work. put some trades in here to add a little excitement
1. oak- Jamarcus Russell. Big arm qb just seems like an Al Davis guy. Could also go with Calvin Johnson here depending on what happens with Moss and Porter.
2. det- traded to mia for their 1st, 2nd, 1st in 08, and Marty Booker. miami takes Brady Quinn. It sounds like mia really likes him and i dont know if they can count on Culpepper and Harrington definatley isnt the answer.
3. cle- Adrian Peterson. (pending a coin toss) Ruben Droughns needs to be upgraded. If Quinn or Russell is available they may need to take one of them.
4. tb- Calvin Johnson. (pending a coin toss) To good to pass up plus Galloway cant play forever and Clayton has been a dissappointment. Could take Joe Thomas or Gaines Adams here.
5. az- Joe Thomas. Their o-line sucks and they will probably wont resign Leonard Davis. They have their franchise qb, 2 stud receivers and now they get their franchise tackle.
6. was- Alan Branch. They need a big run plugger could go with one of the defensive ends here.
7. min- Gaines Adams. Some pass rush will help their crappy pass defense. Could also use a receiver or a tight end.
8. hou- Jamaal Anderson. Combining Anderson and Mario Williams should make a nice pair of bookends on the d-line
9. mia traded to det. det takes Levi Brown. This should solidify the o-line and allow them to move Jeff Backus to right tackle.
10. atl- Laron Landry. It seems like they have been looking for a safety for the last couple of years.
11. sf- Adam Carricker. Should be a perfect fit at defensive end in their 3-4 defense.
12. buf- Patrick Willis. London Fletcher probably wont be resigned. Could go with Jarvis Moss or Leon Hall here.
13. stl- Amobi Okoye. The Rams always seem to need help along the defensive line.
14. car- Lawerence Timmons. Their outside linebackers suck and Dan Morgan is always recovering from a concussion so linebacker should be their #1 priority in the off season, maybe willing to part with this pick and next years #1 to sign Lance Briggs just an idea.
15. pit- Leon Hall. This pick is a little hard to predict with their coaching change depending on if they stay in the 3-4 or change to a 4-3 cover 2 scheme.
16. gb- Reggie Nelson. Marquand Manuel was terrible last year and Nick Collins wasnt much of a playmaker until week 17.
17. jax- Jarvis Moss. Their defensive tackle duo might be the best in the league but they dont have much at defensive end.
18. cin- Darrelle Revis. They had the worst pass defense in the league last year. They could use anything on defense.
19. ten- Dwayne Jarrett. Norm Chow didnt get the qb he wanted last year so this year the Titans throw him a bone and get one of his old receivers.
20. nyg- Marshawn Lynch. Tiki Barber is gone and they will need a complement to Brandon Jacobs.
21. den- Aaron Ross. With what happened to Darrent Williams they may need another corner. Could also go with a receiver wtih Rod Smith getting up there in age.
22. dal- Justin Blaylock. Marco Rivera was a dissappointment and Marc Columbo might not be back next year.
23. kc- Ted Ginn. They need some help at receiver Eddie Kennison cant be their #1 receiver forever.
24. ne (from sea)- Paul Posluszny. Their linebackers are old and its starting to show I think Rosie Colvin is the only starter under 40.
25. nyj- Lamar Woodly. Woodly could be the Adalius Thomas of their 3-4 defense. Could go after a corner with this pick.
26. phi- Charles Johnson. They always seem to use their first round picks on the offensive or defensive line. Could go with a linebacker here.
27. no- Chris Houston. Fred Thomas sucks enough said. They could go with a linebacker here.
28. ne- Dwayne Bowe. They need to give Tom Brady some targets other than tight ends to throw the ball to.
29. bal- Arron Sears. They running game wasnt where they needed it to be last year could also use another weapon in the receiving game.
30. sd- Sidney Rice. They could use a reciever to take some of the pressure off of Antonio Gates.
31. chi traded to sf for their 2nd and 3rd- sf takes Quentin Moses. They will move him to outside linebacker and give them an edge pass rusher.
32. ind- Jon Beason. Cato June and Rob Morris are free agents and June might be to expensive to bring back.
