The Bengals have to go OL or DL, no doubt.

 

[bjorks]

Oher is the top OT in the draft. Why not start there.

 

[nawlins51]

Did the Saints lose a 1st.My God please tell me no.

 

[MusicCityGambler]

I think Stafford is a mistake for Detroit. He's good but with the volatility of Qbs taken in the first round, I fail to see where he really stands above the cut and why'd he be worth the risk when the Lions need so much help. I think Oher or Smith would be the smart pick. Both are complete anchors for an OL.

I also think Maulauga is the must have player in this draft. He's incredible and he plays with the attitude you need at LB. If he's available after the fifth pick, teams should be trying to trade up to get him. He's probably the best college LB I've seen in the last 10 years.

bjorks-I'm fairly certain the Eagles get the Panthers first round pick. Nice call on the Titans drafting a tight-end. They love doing that.

 

[bjorks]

May have missed them, I know Detroit has 2 1's now...

It's the republican in me, I don't care about New Orleans!

 

[Smokedawg]

Carolina's first rounder belongs to the Eagles...

At least for now

Reid will undoubtedly package it along with our own First Rounder for a second, a third and 5 fourths...

:hang:

Oh thank goodness you missed them.Just put a WR for a 1st. Its very Sean Payton like.

9-Cleveland 4-7 - Rey Maualuga, LB USC


i'd be extremely happy with that

 

[RetroVK]

For what it's worth , i think that oakland goes with best available linebacker , the usc kid or the ohio state kid.

 

[Throwback420]

as much as I like Taylor Mays thats a stupid fuckin pick.

Raiders need

LT
RT
WR
DE
MLB
RG
DT

 

[Throwback420]

AL davis will take Michael Johnson in that spot and isnt he from GT ?

 

[misschung]

i dont see the lions taking a qb #1

 

[signalcaller]

Love Vontae Davis for the Pack. He might be better than Jenkins

 

[gjl02]

so u of miami's streak of 1st rounders comes to an end

 

[Streakin]

Nice call on the Titans drafting a tight-end. They love doing that.

Would it be too much to ask to draft a receiver, preferably someone who can catch a pass. Makes me sick to watch our guys sometimes. (i.e. first half on Sunday)

 

[hile75]

i love mock drafts

just dont forget the Eagles acquired the Panthers first rounder this season, incase it changes your selections

 

[bjorks]

Some errors obviously.

Since Al Davis is dead, the reason I have Oakland taking Mays is I think when they see he runs a 4.4 and is the size of a LB, the secondary is a need. OL is deep this year in the draft and they can grab a potential starter in Rd. 2. Based on best player available theory it's Mays. The Tier 1 OL will already be gone and it's too high to take a guy like Moor at 6 if that's where they finish.

Matthew Stafford is projected to be the highest rated QB coming out of college the last 3 years. No way does Detroit with a competent GM and coach not take him.

One player I omitted is Sam Bradford. I think there's a chance he come out despite this being only his RSO year.

 

[Go play Intramurals]

Texans will draft a safety

 

[bjorks]

I should add, I think Denver if they got a pick in the late teens would definitely try to trade up for someone like Mays. They need secondary help in the worst way and Mays is a stud.

 

[bjorks]

Houston has been saying all year how they need another DE opposite of Mario Williams. If Mays is gone, there isn't another safety this year as of right now who's worth a potential Top 10 pick.
