I THINK so. I would assume the Pats pick at 31 and the Giants 32 in every other round except the first (where the Giants pick 31). I'm not too sure, though.

NFL gobbled up the Pats pick, so the G-Men are at 31.

Who/what did Indy trade their first rounder for?

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft07/news/story?id=2850327

Indianapolis Colts: Acquire pick No. 42 (selected OT Tony Ugoh).
San Francisco 49ers: Acquire pick No. 126 (fourth round) and Colts' first-round pick in 2008.

That's not THAT horrible of a trade.

Troy Williamson still has potential, but his confidence is shot.

If the Giants didn't waste a pick last year on Steve Smith I'd probably take that offer if it was a 2nd and a 3rd along with Williamson and throw in a late round pick going back.

If you have seen Williamson catch, then you wouldn't want him.

Actually, if you have seen Williamson catch, please send us all a clip. Right now it is considered an Urban Legend of sorts.

I have a late first, Williamson is fast right? :)

Yes. Very fast. Nice guy and hard working too.

(please ignore the previous post.... just move along... nothing to see there.... just make the trade for Williamson....)

If you have seen Williamson catch, then you would realize how bad a trade that is.

It isn't his confidence that is in question, it is his Venus de Milo catching ability.

I really don't mind him as a 3rd receiver. He's certainly not a go-to-guy, but I think he's a guy who if you have the right coach could really fulfill at least some of his potential.

Williamson has led to some great comedic moments the last couple seasons. My two personal favorites:
1) The 3-pointer against the Redskins 2 years ago. He held his arms out in a "basket" like you teach kids. Johnson launched a bomb (well... as best he could) and it was nothing but net! Yep, strait through the basket he made with his arms.
2) The Spike. Can't remember the game, but it was also with Johnson at QB. Williamson did a quick turn-around route over the middle. Jumped up, got his hands on the ball, and spiked it down to the ground like a volleyball with both hands.

Nice guy and fast, but undeniably the worst hands I have ever seen on a player. Heck, he might need to switch to CB.

New Orleans is listening to offers for the 10th overall.

The Giants are looking either to move into the top 10 or to drop out of the 1st round. Our 1st round pick is on the market regardless as are a few other players.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft07/news/story?id=2850327

Indianapolis Colts: Acquire pick No. 42 (selected OT Tony Ugoh).
San Francisco 49ers: Acquire pick No. 126 (fourth round) and Colts' first-round pick in 2008.

Ah yes, I thought they used their own 2nd on Ugoh, but then I remembered the Booger trade. Well, at least that one worked out really well, given Glenn's sudden retirement and Ugoh showing he has pretty good potential.

With the first overall picks, the Dolphins are open to the idea of trading down for the right offer. But you got to be fast, I'm going to make my pick soon.

#1KaberleFan is on the clock

We should let Ronnie Bass make the first pick.

Sorry to sound like a jerk but if you miss out on the first selection, why bother being in a mock?

The St.Louis Rams select DE Chris Long of Virginia!

No kidding. Either that or give them Glen Dorsey, since I think thats who they take anyways. Dont just skip them and leave it blank, it's gonna throw the whole draft out of whack.

Just give them Glen Dorsey. I second that. I think they either take him or Ellis anyway.

Dorsey, Ellis or Ryan

I think they'll go for Ellis but one of the 3 will likely end up there

Jamie Thomas was last active at 10:04 this morning. As such, I'm pulling rank and selecting for him

Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU

http://newnfldraft.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/dorsey.jpg

http://newnfldraft.com/2008-nfl-prospects/glenn-dorsey-2008-nfl-draft-updates

Glenn Dorsey the Defensive Tackle out of LSU is considered to be one of the best players in college football. Standing at 6′2″ and about 320 lbs. Dorsey is a beast of a plaer. In 2004 Dorsey made an immediate impact as a freshman playing in all 12 games while starting 3 of them. In 2005 he also played in every game recording 28 tackles 4 of them for a loss and three sacks. Last year, Dorsey started every game and had 64 tackles while have 8.5 of them for a loss and and three sacks. This year alone Dorsey has 30 tackles with 5.5 of them for a loss and 4 sacks. As a defensive tackle the initial responsibility is to stop the run. This guy is not only a run stopper but with his physical ability he is able to get up field and get the ball carrier as well as the QB


ATL - chris_dub is on the clock

btw Ricky, I'll be taking the Lions, cottonking told me via PM to enjoy reconstructing the epic Matt Millen franchise.

Alright. BTW, you should draft another WR, you need some more.

Patty Ice, could you PM me after you pick. Thanks. :) I usually ignore stickies.

I will PM Mars if he wants.

No worries...I always do.

Well all apologies to everyone. Got stuck at the University.

Thank you Rick, my first choice of the draft was going to be Glenn Dorsey. I will be back tomorrow with the text.

Sorry everyone

The Miami Dolphins were 1-15 last year. They need help at every position. They got a brand new staff, hiring a respected football man in Jeff Ireland. Now they need new players. The team has holes at QB, WR, OL, TE, DT, DE, LB, CB and S. Finally they have holes anywhere.
In a situation like that, the best strategy for the team is to go for the best player available. The Dolphins believe that the best player available also fits a need.
The Miami Dolphins were the worst team against the run in the NFL last year. They gave up an average of 153.5 yars per game on the ground. You can't win many games when you can't stop the other team.

The team firmly believes that Glen Dorsey will be able to help the team to stop the run and still put pressure on the Qb, an other need on the Dolphins DL.

http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=174923&Q_SEASON=2006

Dorsey, Ellis or Ryan

I think they'll go for Ellis but one of the 3 will likely end up there

Dorsey is the better player of the three. Ellis is getting a lot of attention because of his Senior Week Bowl where he was excellent, but Dorsey and Long are still the better players and they will be the first 2 taken in the draft this year.

chris_dub has 4+ hours left on the clock. Dang, where did everyone go??

they all went to get their preordered 19-0 pats book :sarcasm::thumbu:

Ellis had a terrific season, it's not only Senior Bowl in his case. He just doesn't get talked as much as Dorsey.

Yet another skipped pick. Sigh.

Off to a roaring start. And some of you wanted to go seven rounds =)

Thanks for PM'ing me, I will make my pick soon

damn ... people are slow to make their pick...
at this point in the draft there should be no delay like that ...:shakehead

Agreed. I'm ready to make my pick. What happened to El Dandy?

Oakland Raiders select out of the University of Southern California

Sedrick Ellis DT

Sorry...completely forgot this had started. Can I make my pick now? Or have to wait until the end of this round (eek). If now I can make it now:

Since I missed Jake Long due to my tardiness, will go with the next option...

Anybody for mcfadden ???
My pick is available until 11:30pm eastern time...

time is over ...it's now time for me to announce my selection:

http://www.cartoonbarry.com/jets-logo.png
The New York Jet are proud to select :
Ohio State DE/OLB Vernon Gholston

http://photo.the-ozone.net/photos/2007_2008/Football/07-09-22-FB-0045.jpg

This guy is a beast and IMO the next defensive star in the NFL. His main priority would be to go get the QB as are the Shawn Merriman and Demarcus Ware of this world. He has all the moves, the athleticism and the determination to suceed. I considered McFadden but there is no other Gholston in this draft and RB is not a need for the Jets.


The Patriots and Rick Middleton are now on the clock !

The New England Patriots will entertain offers for their pick until roughly noon today. Get McFadden while he's still hot folks!

So, it's past noon.....

/cue Jeopardy theme music here

Hey, blue boy, I can still slap you with a warning for annoying a global mod. Technically I have until 11:38PM tonight to make my pick. :p:

Maybe send a 3 pick proxy to Rick when your within 3 choices?

Just a suggestion to speed things up

heh, my mistake. for some reason I was thinking it was 6 hrs for picks. :)

Seems no one is interested in moving up.

So, without further adieu, the New England Patriots, three-time Superbowl Champions and the dirtiest players in the game (Woooooooooooooooo!!!!!!), are proud to select, from Penn State

Dan Connor, ILB

http://media.rivals.com/IMAGES/Player/video/DANCONNOR250_7-11.JPG

http://www.nfldraftdog.com/2008_nfl_draft/dan_connor.htm

Winner of the Chuck Bednarik award for the Defensive Player of the Year, Conner is a talented tackling machine with decent size (6’ 3” 230 lbs) who outplayed teammate and 2007 NFL Draftee Paul Posluszny for much of the 2006 season.

The Patriots feel that under the tutelage of Tedy Bruschi and Linebacker Coach Pepper Johnson that Connor will be able to step in next season and spell Bruschi in 3-4 situations, and eventually become a Ted Johnson-esque player.

Son of a *****...I was gonna reach for him.

Not before I was

Wow. Dan Conner in the top 10? Huge reach. I have him barely cracking my top 20.

Yeah, he's a linebacker from Linebacker State, but he's definitely not the best player left. Big time reach and a huge gamble.

it doesn't matter, you have your guy you take him. Connor will be an excellent players for years to come. I hope people learned from Posluzny last year.

With the talk of the town centered around the QB situation, the Baltimore Ravens address their secondary needs by selecting CB/KR Leodis McKelvin out of Troy.

http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2007/09/15/PH2007091500115.jpg

Pick Analysis: With Chris McAlister and Samri Rolle up their in age, fighting injuries and proven scrubs filling out the CB spot on the depth chart, the Ravens select this talented defender from Troy. With great playmaking abiltiy, McKelvin possesses blazing speed, his 40 time had been clocked in 4.38 to 4.45 range; allowing him to run with most of the receivers in the next level. He possesses a natural instinct for the position, because he is quick to read and react. He uses his hands well to disrupt the receiver timing and can accelerate with tremendous burst. He shows great recovery speed with a smooth backpedal and hip turn. As proven by his steller kick returns, Leodis McKelvin is considered by many pundits as a Kevin Hester clone. He is anything but. McKelvin is a true defensive back in every word.

It came down to two players, but the Bengals chose #1 in your programs, and #1 in your hearts.. Kenny Phllips, S, Miami

http://images.athlonsports.com/d/5650-1/KennyPhillips.jpg

Phillips has it all. From a physical standpoint, he has everything you want. He has excellent size and can match up with just about anyone in coverage. He also possesses the athleticism, quickness, and speed to fly around the field making plays. He is aggressive, active, and willing to do whatever it takes to get to the football. Phillips is a complete safety as he can attack the line of scrimmage in run support and make plays on the football in coverage. He has also earned All ACC honors for his success in the classroom, so he is getting it done off the field as well.

New Orleans is rumored to be in heavy discussions with another team for the 10th pick.

New Orleans and Dallas announce a deal.

To Dal: 10th overall pick (1st round) and 141st pick (5th round)

To NO: 22nd overall pick (1st round), 60th pick (2nd round), and Bobby Carpenter

To Dal: 10th overall pick (1st round) and 141st pick (5th round)

To NO: 22nd overall pick (1st round), 60th pick (2nd round), and Bobby Carpenter

Agreed. Contemplated moving up earlier into the top 10, but the cost would have been far too high.

And with the pick, the Dallas Cowboys are extremely excited to select RB Darren McFadden. IMO he is the best player in the draft, and a backfield of him and Barber will be the best in the league. On top of that, all it basically cost was a late 2nd round pick and a guy that never sees the field. That and hypothetically speaking he'd get paid #10 overall money instead of top 5 money. The deal was too hard to pass up.

Skittles and Buffalo are on the clock.

10th pick (1300 points)
141st pick (35.5 points)

22nd pick (780 points)
60th pick (300 points)

To bridge the "difference", Carpenter would have to be worth a low 2nd/high 3rd. So that seems plausible. Good deal by Chaos. Guess we'll see who falls to NO at #22.

The Buffalo Bills are ecstatic to take Keith Rivers, OLB USC.

http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/usc/sports/m-footbl/auto_wide/606507.jpeg

Rivers will be a solid addition to the Bills LB corps.

interesting mock draft thus far

10th pick (1300 points)
141st pick (35.5 points)

22nd pick (780 points)
60th pick (300 points)

To bridge the "difference", Carpenter would have to be worth a low 2nd/high 3rd. So that seems plausible. Good deal by Chaos. Guess we'll see who falls to NO at #22.

Wasn't in love with anyone at that point, though if I kept the pick I would have taken Rivers. This draft has a lot of depth at different positions so to grabbing that extra 2nd rounder was my main motivation and Carpenter, while he hasn't shown much in his young career thus far, is a potential improvement over Shanle and Simoneau (two of the starting linebackers last year) and at worst badly needed depth. The Payton/Gibb and Cowboy LB connection (see Fujita and Shanle) might have them genuinely interested in Carpenter as well.

Wild card would be Carpenter, it's been less that two years since he was a #1 himself. Maybe he would benefit from moving from a 3-4 to a 4-3 hypothetically.

I agree, played 4-3 at Ohio St. and under his year with Tuna where showed some promise. I'm a Parcell guy so if he likes him, I'm going to take a shot.

Denver Broncos select Ryan Clady, OT from Boise State.

Would have liked to go DT or LB on this one, but protecting Cutler's blind side is huge.

The Carolina Panthers are pleased to select out of Pittsburgh, Tackle Jeff Otah.


Actually...not really. I wanted Ryan Clady or Kenny Phillips but they didn't slip that far. Jeff Otah is a solid tackle and with two of them on the Panthers being free agents next year, he'll slide into a starters role pretty soon.

The Chicago Bears are proud to select, from Louisville, QB Brian Brohm.

After much thought, we decided that it was time for the Bears franchise to start developing a franchise QB. We feel that an upgrade at the QB position is needed before the Bears are able to take a run at the Super Bowl again.

*Matt Millen steps to microphone*


Millen: "Ahem...the Detroit Lions are proud to select Wide Receiver..."

Senior Scout: "Umm...Matt...he's not a WR...we're selecting CB Aqib Talib from Kansas"

Millen: "Not a WR?"

Scout "No sir"

Millen "What about that 7 receiver set Mike Martz and I talked about"

Scout "You fired Mike Martz sir"

Millen "I did?"

Scout "I quit"



http://tv.ku.edu/media/news/images/2006/08/Talib.jpg


As a Junior, Talib has established himself as one of the best defensive college football players in the country by being a Consensus First-team All-America. Not only has he performed well as a cornerback he has contributed on the offensive side as well. Though playing wide receiver sparingly, Talib has caught four touchdown passes through the first nine games. In a game at Kansas State, he ended a potentially game winning drive by intercepting a pass by Josh Freeman. He has also returned an interception more than 100 yards for a touchdown. In the 2008 Orange Bowl at the end of the season against Virginia Tech, Talib returned an interception for a touchdown and was named the game's Most Valuable Player.

I love Talib. He is going to be a star

With the 16th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals are pleased to select, from the University of Illinois, running back Rashard Mendenhall.

http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/77212128.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF1931429C503D256B63F83EF4348D78F2F44 284831B75F48EF45

With the decline of Edgerrin James and J.J. Arrington not living up to expectations, we felt it was a priority to upgrade at the runningback position. Essentially, it was a choice between Mendenhall and Jonathan Stewart out of Oregon...we fully expected the decision to be made for us, as we didn't think both backs would be available at #16. In the end, we feel both are great backs, but we project Mendenhall as having slightly more upside, and feel he has more potential as an all-purpose, pass-catching back.

Vikings select: WR Malcom Kelly

Is there a waiting list for GMs that drop out? If so can I be added to it.

you can take Steelers if you wish they're my 2nd team

you can take Steelers if you wish they're my 2nd team

Thanks FSU, will do.

2 hrs to "pass"?

I say we vote. I'd go for Jonathan Stewart on offense or Mike Jenkins on defense.

Difficult, they could go many ways. There's need at safety, corner, O-line and maybe running back. There's no value at safety unless they reach for Reggie Smith. Stewart or Mendenhall look like good value here. Mike Jenkins again good value, or any of the top linemen. I think Jenkins fills the biggest need, but that's just me.

Stewart... They have a pretty good defense when healthy and a pretty big need for a RB.

Vikings select: WR Malcom Kelly

Great pick. Either safety or wide receiver here. DE in the 2nd or defensive back in the 2nd.

Texans need a corner badly....Robinson could be out for all of 2008

Stewart, Sweed, Manningham or Albert on offense, Flowers, Jenkins or Morgan on defense

With the 18th pick the Houston Texans are very proud to select:

Mike Jenkins, CB, USF

http://www.sptimes.com/2007/11/17/images/TB_Bullsfeature_450.jpg

EDIT: Sorry for the wait.. Busy school and work weekend

I didn't see this anywhere...


The Philadelphia Eagles select Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas.


Mainly to return kicks and to spell Westbrook until a decision on the future has to be made.


This is what I would do but I know the Eagles won't.

the Buccaneers select out of the university of Michigan, WR

Mario Manningham

http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2006/football/ncaa/10/10/manningham.surgery/t1_manninghamstate.jpg

Bucs obviously need help at the WR postion. Doucet would be a great pick also. Ultimately I'd prefer Balmer at that position if he's available but Manningham would provide a lot of what the bucs need.

The Washington Redskins select Monst... I mean Calais Campbell from the University of Miami.

http://insidetheu.com/images/newspics/729181111.jpg

He has all the potential to go along with his tremendous size and fills a needed hole along the DE. Limas Sweed and several DBs were also considered, but I felt Campbell was the best player available.

First page has been updated.

For the Giants: RB Derrick Ward is on the block if anyone is interested. With the coming of Bradshaw, he kind of makes Ward expendable.

Ward was phenomenal in his time with the Giants and averaged nearly 5 yards per carry last year.

I actually thought he was signed for next year.

In that case!

I forget, is Ackbar a corner or a safety?

Well, they're in talks right now, so he may never make it to 2/29.

The New Orleans Saints are pleased to select, from Oklahoma University:

MLB Curtis Lofton

http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2007/1013/ncf_u_lofton_195.jpg

I wanted Willis last year but the Saints couldn't get it done but Lofton is the next best thing. Yes, he is undersized and not the most athletic guy out there but Lofton is an absolute tackling machine!! The Saints are in desparate need of that after a poor performance by their linebackers (Fujita excluded). You are in pretty bad shape when Simoneau is your starting Mike. Lofton is all over the field causing turnovers and shows excellent range. If he gets a hand on you, he's taking you down...and hard.

He possibly could have fallen to me in the second round but I think he will tear up the combines and shoot way up in the rankings as a top 20 pick. This kid is a pure, no nonsense football player.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are pleased to select OT Chris Williams from Vanderbilt University.

http://graphics.fansonly.com/schools/vand/graphics/auto/150200williams.jpg

Williams can fill in at guard to replace the departed Fenaca and may step outside as soon as next year depending how the Marvel Smith situation develops. Either way he will protect Ben's blind-side for years to come.

Seattle accepts.

It came down to Jackson and Sweed for the Titans.

Jackson might be the better prospect at this time but the Titans org won't look past the Young-Sweed connection.

With the 24th pick in the 2008 NFL draft the Titans select WR Limas Sweed from the University of Texas.

Although if I had a say in how the team was run I'd of gone with Cutler in 2006 and Jackson this year.

Cutler+Jackson > Young+Sweed

The New Orleans Saints are pleased to select, from University of Arizona:

CB Antoine Cason

http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/pac10/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/759630.jpeg

Cason may not have the most upside of this deep class of corners but he is the safest and most ready to contribute in another desperate need for the Saints. The best man-to-man corner in the draft, he is a perfect fit for the Saints and their man coverage scheme. People question his speed but the results and gametape speak for themselves. He can be left on an island which is helpful given that Bullocks has trouble backing his corners.

All in all, I'm happy with my first round. Got my two favorite prospects in the draft and improved the Saints LB depth (Lofton and Carpenter).

We're past the 12 hour mark for the next pick. As such, I'd like to open it up to people to make recommendations on who should be selected. I've spoken to several people and the consensus is Phillip Merling, DE out of Clemson. If sensman93 doesn't show up by his alloted time that'll be the selection unless there is an avalanche of opposition to that pick.

Let me know when you get JAX's pick figured out. Then I get started on mine.

At this point, I think San Diego's open to trading down since we don't have a pick in the 2nd or 3rd. If anybody wants to move up, shoot me a PM. Else, I might have to go BPA here.

You've been PM'd Brodeur.

Am I on the clock? I'm a little lost.

Jacksonville officially selects Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson. Additionally, Jacksonville's spot is up for grabs for any GM that wants a 2nd team or any poster who wants to get in the game.


27. SD - Brodeur is now on the clock

There has been a trade via PM.

San Diego Chargers trade:

27th overall, 154th overall (5th round pick)

New York Giants trade:

31st overall, 95th overall (3rd round pick)

The Superbowl Champion New York Football Giants are proud to select with the 27th overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft, from Tennessee State University, CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper956/stills/ly2xi4vy.jpg

You don't find a 6'2 cornerback who can run a 40' in 4.3 seconds and who has as good of hands as he did. Absolutely dominant in the Senior Bowl, we fully expect Rodgers-Cromartie to be a force in the NFL and to finally give us a true interception-hungry CB -- something the Giants have been lacking for a long time (to see how many balls they dropped last year was ridiculous).

The physical tools he possesses are extremely rare and it will be a joy to watch him develop in Big Blue.

I hate you.....that was my guy.

He was my guy all draft. I tried to trade up about 10 times.

I hate you.....that was my guy.

It was down to Cason or him for me at 25. The Saints need immediate help so I went Cason but I think DRC has much greater upside. It just might take awhile.

He was my guy all draft. I tried to trade up about 10 times.

Wouldn't you have been bummed if I took him at 25.

Wouldn't you have been bummed if I took him at 25.

Well, I wouldn't have traded up and lost a 3rd round pick!

I certainly would have. But there's no way he drops this far at the real draft. So it's still a pipe dream.

I certainly would have. But there's no way he drops this far at the real draft. So it's still a pipe dream.

I can tell you that if I hadn't traded up, he was my target at #22. You made a great trade, as I think he's gonna be easily the best CB to come out of this draft.

With the 28th pick, the Dallas Cowboys select WR Desean Jackson.

He's probably the biggest boom/bust guy in the draft. He was a probable top 10 pick before a sub-par senior season, but his speed, return ability, and huge upside are too much to pass up. That and the fact that TO is 34, Terry Glenn will probably never be the same again(and could very well be released), and Crayton is best suited as a #3 guy, we had to draft a young impact WR sooner rather than later.


San Francisco on the clock.

I can tell you that if I hadn't traded up, he was my target at #22. You made a great trade, as I think he's gonna be easily the best CB to come out of this draft.

I think so, too. Patty Ice knows. I tried to trade into the top 10 to get him!

I think so, too. Patty Ice knows. I tried to trade into the top 10 to get him!

About 5 seconds after I posted that the 10 spot was available :D

I was debating going with DeSean Jackson originally with the #27 pick as the BPA. But decided that was something the real Chargers wouldn't do. Since we don't have picks in the 2nd/3rd/4th rounds, figured it'd be nice to move back a few spots and pick up an extra pick.

If we were allowed to trade for a 2009 pick, this might be a spot where I'd try to trade this year's first for somebody's first next year.

About 5 seconds after I posted that the 10 spot was available :D

I feel like Sather last year for the Rangers. He tried to trade up for Cherepanov all draft (even into the top 3). And he got his guy when he ended up falling. Though I did move up a few spots.

I can tell you that if I hadn't traded up, he was my target at #22. You made a great trade, as I think he's gonna be easily the best CB to come out of this draft.

I think it will be Talib...I think he is going to be the next Rod Woodson.

I like DRC a lot. Not so high on Talib and Jenkins. I think McKelvin will be the first taken, but his upside as a corner is a bit limited for someone I think will be a top 10 pick.

The San Francisco 49ers, with the 29th pick in the 2008 draft, select:

WR Early Doucet, LSU

http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/77670378.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193E1B8CBC9EE11803DADD111A2BA41E041 284831B75F48EF45

Doucet follows in the footsteps of 2006 teammates Dwayne Bowe and Craig Davis as first round picks. San Francisco has no downfield passing attack, and the drafting of Doucet signals a rebuilding of the 49ers once legendary passing attack. There really are no oustanding receiver prospects in this year's draft, but there is a lot of potential.

I don't know if there's a problem with the search engine, but I can't find anyone named "Afinogenov 61" on the member list.

Seems like he shortened his SN to "Afino"

http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=468550

Be making my pick shortly.


Sorry about the name change.

The Green Bay Packers select, with the 30th pick in the draft, select.....





Reggie Smith, CB, Oklahoma.

With no obvious needs and Harris and Woodson not getting any younger, the Packers need to think about reloading in the secondary and do so with Smith. Let's just hope he's not another Ahmad Carroll ;)

Nice choice with DRC, he was the guy I wanted at 33 even if I knew he would not drop that much.

If someone is interested in pick 33, I am open to trade down a little later in the second to get one more pick in the draft. Let me know if you are interested before I make my pick. If I get no good offers, I will go ahead and select one of the very good players remaining.

To avoid confusion with overall picks, I've included the forfeited 31st pick and posted up the 2nd round.

Also need GMs for Cleveland and Jacksonville.

Not second guessing Jonothan here, but I was actually hoping Sweed dropped to the Giants in this draft. With him and Plaxico on oppsoite sides, teams would have to pick their poison. I figured the Giants could pick up a DB in the second round cause this draft seems to be deep at the position from what I read.

The Giants are horrible -- HORRIBLE -- at drafting WRs. Even if the guy was a can't miss prospect, the Giants would somehow **** it up.

I'd prefer them to wait till the later rounds if they want to pick another WR up. We still have Moss, Smith, Plax and Toomer. Not to mention David Tyree (though he's awful).

Boss looks like he could add another dimension to our offense. Being able to run a two TE set where both are absolutely dangerous would be fantastic.

Ah jebus, back to me already. Kinda regretting not taking Jackson when I had the chance even if he wouldn't have contributed immediately.

Chargers select DE Derrick Harvey.

Although I have to admit his size would say he's more of a LB in a 3-4 alignment as San Diego currently employs. Not so much a need pick here as I'd prefer to get a veteran safety instead of putting another rookie out there.

To avoid confusion with overall picks, I've included the forfeited 31st pick and posted up the 2nd round.

Also need GMs for Cleveland and Jacksonville.

I'll gladly take the Browns, if still available.

With the first pick of the second round, the Miami Dolphins select from the Virginia Cavaliers

OL Branden Albert.

http://www.nmnathletics.com.edgesuite.net/pics18/300/AH/AHMBRVIMRIVQKMY.20070816040731.jpg

Even if many players were interesting at this spot, the team firmly believes Albert was the best player available. Even if he played guard during most of his career at Virginia, he has great footwork and it is said that he could play tackle and be a very good one at that. The potential is definitly there.

Buccaneers select out of North Carolina, DT

Kentwan Balmer

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/47/477532.jpg

I wanted him in the 1st round but since he slipped no way I would pass on him. Flowers would be extremely interesting at that spot also.


Regarded as the premier defensive lineman in his area coming out of high school, Kentwan Balmer finally lived up to his vast potential as a senior with the Tar Heels.

The former defensive end was shifted to defensive tackle as a junior, but it was not until the arrival of coach Butch Davis that Balmer excelled on the football field. Davis took the talented youngster under his wing and Balmer surpassed his cumulative statistical production from his first three seasons during his final year.

Balmer earned All-Area and All-Conference honors as a junior and senior at Weldon High School. The 2003 Area Defensive Player of the Year helped the team produce three shutouts in their first six games that year. He posted 113 tackles, 12 sacks, eight pass breakups and six fumble recoveries his final campaign. As a junior, he registered 103 tackles, 11 sacks and scored a defensive touchdown on a fumble recovery. He was also a member of the North Carolina Shrine Bowl Team.

Balmer enrolled at North Carolina in 2004. The 250-pound right defensive end saw limited action in nine games, coming up with one assisted tackle. As a sophomore, he added more than 30 pounds to his frame and would appear in 11 games. He started the final three contests at right defensive end for an injured Tommy Davis, responding with 17 tackles (eight solo), a sack, five stops for losses and five quarterback pressures. He also deflected one pass.

In 2007, Balmer appeared in 10 games, starting the final eight contests at left defensive tackle. An early season right high ankle sprain forced him to miss the Virginia Tech and Furman clashes and he later re-injured his ankle in the second half vs. Wake Forest. He was in on 16 tackles (14 solo) with 2 1/2 sacks. He added one pressure, as he also blocked two extra point attempts and batted away a pair of passes.

As a senior, Balmer shifted to right defensive tackle. He earned second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference accolades and received the team's James Southerland Award (captain), as he ranked second on the team with 59 tackles (33 solo). He collected 3 1/2 sacks, 9 1/2 stops behind the line of scrimmage and four pressures.

In 42 games at North Carolina, Balmer started 23 times. He collected 93 tackles (55 solo) with seven sacks for minus-52 yards, 17 stops for losses of 79 total yards and 10 quarterback pressures. He also deflected three passes and blocked a pair of kicks.

I confirm the trade !

The Baltimore Ravens look to address their evident quarterback needs by selecting QB André Woodson from Kentucky

http://thenastyboys.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/andre_woodson.jpg


Pick Analysis: The Ravens have had their QB woes for....as long as they have existed. While McNair has had his momments, hes a shadow of his former self and may be playing his last season in the NFL. With little depth behind him, enter the Ravens second round choice: André Woodson. The Kentucky product has all the tools that have scouts raving about- prototypical size, solid frame, has a very strong arm, can make all the throws, good touch and great timing. While his mechanics have been questioned, and will be a hurdle that will seperate Woodson from potential starter to depth fodder, there is no doubt about his excellent intangibles in terms of leadership and work ethic; which only helps the tranisition. Woodson is still improving and has undeniable upside.

That sounds about right

Does to me now too.

Anyone looking for a FS? Josh Bullocks is available. Make me an offer.

With the 40th pick in the draft, the 49ers select DE Lawrence Jackson from USC.

Jackson recorded 9.5 sacks during his senior season at USC and will help fill the void on the defensive line left by the retirement of the legendary Bryant Young.

With the 41st selection in the draft, the Seattle Seahawks select Fred Davis, Tight End, out of USC.

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/46/469565.jpg

Seneca Wallace is available to be dealt. He is a decent, and rocket fast, backup quarterback who has the potential to be a Pro Bowl wide receiver/return specialist if he was given the opportunity to play something besides quarterback.

I'm looking to move up in the second round. Send me an offer. :) Other picks are also up to be dealt.

I was going to take Long in the 1st as well, but missed that pick. Oh well...But anyways, you can take over the Falcons from here on out. Like I said I dropped the ball on this mock & would only slow you guys down moving forward.

So it's all in your hands now...don't screw it up :thumbu::sarcasm:

With the 43rd pick, the Broncos select Auburn DT Pat Sims.

With the 44th overall pick the Panthers select Jamaal Charles RB, Texas.

With the release of Deshaun Foster the Panthers needed a RB to go along with DeAngelo Williams and he gives the team a good 1-2 punch.

Chicago out of time. Oline is the biggest need. OT Oniel Cousins UTEP is my suggestion.

Both Patty Ice and I said Devin Thomas, WR Mich St.

Chicago out of time. Oline is the biggest need. OT Oniel Cousins UTEP is my suggestion.

Hey guys I just got the PM. The drafter behind me had some CPU issues before sending me his reminder.

With CHI 2nd pick of the 2008 draft, we are proud to select OT, from Nebraska, Carl Nicks.

New Orleans rumblings again. Their active GM makes another trade.

To DET: Josh Bullocks FS and Jason David CB

To NO: 46th overall

Reasoning: Bullocks and David just are not fitting into the Saints defensive scheme. Bullocks, while talented, was a reason for many of the deep balls the Saints allowed the past two years. Kevin Kaesviharn outplayed him last year. Like Bullocks, David is better suited for the Cover 2 defensive scheme employed by the Lions and is desperately needed with Stanley Wilson as the only CB on the roster that played last year after releasing Bryant.

Saints have more than a few players they'd like to take at this point in the draft. Expect more rumbling.

Jonathan Vilma is available if anobody interested !

Deal with the Saints confirmed.

The New Orleans Saints are pleased to select, from Notre Dame:

DT Trevor Laws

http://old.irishsports.com/subscription/snapcount/images/c_TrevorLaws-big.jpg

This guy's shine was lost in a horrendous Irish season. While maybe not on par with Ellis or Dorsey, Laws is definitely a nice consolation prize for a team in need. Perhaps the best motor among the D linemen, he just boosted his stock at the combines (posted better numbers than Ellis) and was very good at the Senior Bowl. Lack of height is not a concern but rather gives him, along with his strength, a huge leverage advantage . Should be a good 3 tech DT for the Saints.

The Bengals select defensive tackle Dre Moore, University of Maryland

To fill a gaping hole in the line-up... the Vikings select

Junior Safety DaJuan Morgan

After going offense in the first 2 rounds, the Falcons select, from Indiana University, cornerback Tracy Porter.

DeAngelo Hall is available for a 2nd rounder.

Don't forget Roman Harper, 2nd round pick was a rookie last year. And he looks pretty good.

I was speaking of the Saints free safeties. I'd never forget Harper...he's my favorite Saint defender.

The Philadelphia Eagles select LB Xavier Adibi from Virginia Tech. Hopefully for their sake, the Eagles look to actually treat the LB position like it's important. Adibi should be a great blitzing LB and has the tools to play coverage too. If the Eagles have a great D-line, is a great fit for Jim Johnson's blitz schemes.


By the way, I do have LJ Smith available for trade

By the way, I do have LJ Smith available for trade

LJ Smith becomes an unrestricted free agent on Friday.

Cowboys are looking to trade back into the second round....

Pittsburgh and Atlanta have made a deal: DeAngelo Hall for #53

The Cardinals are pleased to select, from the University of Iowa, CB Charles Godfrey.

Our defensive backfield (except at SS) needs to improve, and this kid is a great pick-up. He has a blistering 40 time (last measured at 4.3), is built like a fireplug (5'11", 210) and also has experience playing FS in college.

The Washington Redskins select Andre Caldwell, WR, University of Florida

I never received any PM.... so I didnt know it was my turn ..

anyway With the 53rd pick of this draft the New York Jets are happy to select from Virginia Tech, CB Brandon Flowers .

With their 3rd pick in the 2nd round, Atlanta takes linebacker from the University of Maryland, Erin Henderson

The Titans select S/CB/KR Jonathan Hefney from Tennessee.

I can't believe the Jets didn't draft a QB in the 1st two rounds of this draft.

Pennington is trash. Clemons is clearly not going to be a starter in the league for long.

Jets should go after a guy like Joe Flacco if he's still available in the 3rd. I fully expect them to take a QB in the 2nd this year (if not the 1st). They can't keep using patchwork QBs forever.

I bet they won't ... They will give another shot at Clemens next year with a better o-line they decide if then need another QB !

Clemens is not a good QB.

If I was a Jets fan, I'd be utterly pissed the **** off if they go with Clemens for more than half the year. He's shown absolutely nothing.

The Jets need to draft a QB early. Brohm would be a great choice if he's available in the 1st but I think the 2nd is more likely. They like Joe Flacco quite a bit and I think they grab him there as I doubt he falls out of the 2nd.

Most Jets fans I know in the area are expecting a QB in the first 3 rounds and I have no reason to see why they won't pick one up. They need one.

Clemens has the confidence of Mangini and I don't see any QB that could make an immediate impact with the Jets with that offensive line...
of course if they sign Alan Faneca and Flozell Adams I wouldnt be against a top QB pick but as of right now they need to build a strong offensive line and then think QB (late round) and next year a top QB if Clemens doesnt do better...
anyway we'll see very soon !

56. SEA- Tacoby Bellsbury's time has expired. Suggestions on the pick?

I don't really think he does. I never looked at the situation and said, "Well that's Eric's guy right there." It never, ever seemed like he was completely comfortable with Clemens.

I'd say Roy Schuening for Seattle or Felix Jones, Josh Barrett or Tom Zbikowski

I vote for Chris Johnson, running back

I vote for Chris Johnson, running back

yeah I forgot about him I thought he was gone, Chris Johnson for me also

I have three selections for Ray Rice, RB, Rutgers via PM and two for Chris Johnson, RB. So, Seattle is proud to select, from Rutgers

Ray Rice, RB

http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/football/ncaa_blog/ray%20rice%20against%20navy.jpg

With the 57th pick, the Cleveland Browns select Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State.

Edwards and Thomas teaming up for a 1/2 WR combination for the foreseeable future... doesn't get much better than that for a QB.

There are other positions on the team that need more help than WR (Edwards is a star, but Jerevicious, while still consistent, is getting up there in age), but I deemed no prospects at any of those positions to be worthy of 2nd round status.

The Ravens are looking to move up in the 2nd or third rounds, pm offers.

Thanks for selecting for me.. I had school and then football conditioning, I appreciate it. :)

Nick

Good pick btw ;)

With the 58th pick, the Miami Dolphins select Terrell Thomas, Cornerback from USC.

http://bp2.blogger.com/_2ikEvVMmmzg/R0RnO6C5bdI/AAAAAAAAAh4/AplsJSJ8Vls/s1600/tthomas.jpg

The Jacksonville Jaguars select:

CB Patrick Lee.

Indy on the Clock (Garo).

On behalf of the whole state of Indiana, the Indianapolis Colts would like to congrulate the Giants for their victory over the bad guys.

We are also pleased to select, from Auburn:

DE Quentin Groves.

Green Bay is now on the clock.

Green Bay has selected with the 61st pick: Anthony Collins, T, Kansas.

Seattle is on the clock.

We are bangin on all cylinders!

With the 62nd pick, the Seattle Seahawks select Marcus Harrison, DT out of Arkansas!

Always send a PM to the next pick. I'll have mine completed by 9:00am this morning.

Continuing on our quest to improve our LB corps, the New England Patriots are proud to select, from the University of Miami

Tavares Gooden, OLB

http://www.lubbockonline.com/images/20071014/88037_512.jpg

With the recent departure of Rosevelt Colvin and our need to renew our LB corps, the Patriots feel that not only is Gooden the BPA at this point in time but he is the best player for our team.

The Superbowl Champion New York Football Giants are proud to select with the 64th overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft, from Newburry College, OT Heath Benedict

http://newberryindians.athleticsite.com/images/benedict_action.jpg

It's no secret that the Giants O-line needs help. It's needed help for a long time and it's about time to address that issue. It was either a line-backer or a tackle here and I went the tackle root because I feel that Benedict is the best player available and also has the most upside of any player left on the board. Injured most of last year, Benedict had an absolutely incredible Senior Bowl performance which showed he could play with the big boys and he'll be protecting Manning for years to come.

Quick and painless 2nd round. At this pace, we'll have to take a two week break after the 3rd until the comp picks are sorted.

We have a trade to announce :

The Houstan Texas trade their 3rd round pick 2008 to the New York Jets for LB Jonathan Vilma.

Jiri Bicek will confirm after his work or i'll post the pm later if he hasn't confirm.

With the first pick of the 3rd round, the Miami Dolphins are proud to select Jerod Mayo, LB from Tennessee.

http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2007/1126/ncf_a_jmayo_300.jpg

You turn down my offer and take my player!! You'll pay for this outrage.

Jonathan start peddling those picks for a safety...cause we're gonna need one;)

Technically StL is off the clock. Any suggestions on players for them?

Dwight Lowery, SJSU Cornerback

I confirm the trade

Trade to announce

To KC: Bobby Carpenter

To NO: 67th overall (3rd round)

Yes, it may seems as a steep price for Carpenter, but he needs to be in a 4-3 defense to thrive. He has great upside and should get his career going in Kansas City.

Dwight Lowery, SJSU Cornerback

Let's go with the Rams pick...I voted Lowery

Three votes so the Saint Louis Rams select:

Philip Wheeler, MLB, Georgia Tech

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/41/418422.jpg

The New Orleans Saints are pleased to select, from Michigan:

OLB Shawn Crable

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j132/satanic_tyranny/Crable.jpg

Another need the Saints have to address is the pass rush. They don't come much better out of the draft than Shawn Crable. Effective at both OLB and DE in obvious passing downs, Crable is a disrupting force that should help improve the lacking Saints' pass rush and make plays in the backfield. While ideally suited in a 3-4, his abilities also work in a 4-3 though his coverage skills are lacking. As long as he is pressuring the QB, however, that shouldn't be a problem.

The Jets select Oniel Cousins OT from U.T.E.P.

and I have the 80th pick from the Vilma trade !

Falcons draft lb Jonathan Goff from Vandy

The New England Patriots are proud to select, from Oregon State

Roy Schuening, OG

http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/45/452769.jpg

http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile_display.cfm?Prospect_ID=1368 (Roy Schuening)
Schuening is the number one rated guard prospect rated by Scouts, Inc. He has very good footwork for a player his size. Schuening does a good job at taking angles to use leverage to block defenders in the run game. At times he has shown the speed to be an adequate pulling guard in the run game. He does a good job getting to defenders at the second level after an initial block at the point of attack. Schuening engulfs smaller defensive lineman. He does not do a great job with his hands, but can be taught at the next level in order to keep defenders away from his body. Schuening does a great job in the pass game and has good knee bend. He has shown the ability to stop defensive lineman's bull-rush because of his superb technique. Schuening lacks the ideal mean streak that offensive line coaches love. He plays too high at times and will likely struggle against elite two gap defenders. Schuening will likely be the first guard prospect taken in the 2008 draft. He can improve his draft status with a good performance at the Senior Bowl. Schuening will likely be a second or third round selection

The 49ers select OG Chilo Rachal, from USC.

http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site513/2006/1102/20061102_013106_15.jpg

Our O-Line sucks ass. This should help.

I have two picks?

72. Red Byrant - DT Texas A&M.
73. Terrence Wheatley - CB Colorado.

Vikings select, out of Michigan, QB Chad Henne.

This gives them a Plan B to develop at QB other than Jackson.

Carolina Panthers select from NC State, defensive tackle DeMario Pressley.

With their 3rd round pick, the Bears select, from Michigan, Mario Manningham. We needed an upgrade at the WR position after cutting Moose and losing Berian to free agency.
