Hmmm....This seems to be the new theme in the mock drafts that i'm seeing. CB with our 1st rounder. And look who they pass on... Marshawn Lynch.
2007 NFL Mock Draft |
1. Oakland Raiders | ||
JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU -- He has the big arm for Al Davis' vertical passing attack. Plus, the Raiders are desperate for a QB. But how can you pass up Calvin Johnson? Raiders will. | ||
2. Detroit Lions | ||
Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech -- He's the best player in this draft. So the Lions took three WRs with their last four No. 1s. They can't pass up this guy ... can they? | ||
3. Cleveland Browns | ||
Adrian Peterson, RB, Okahoma -- Best running back in years. Reminds some people of Eric Dickerson. The Browns are desperate at the position, and Jamal Lewis isn't the answer. | ||
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | ||
Joe Thomas, T, Wisconsin -- Bucs were hoping Calvin Johnson slipped to him, but he's too good to last this long. So they find some protection for their QBs. | ||
5. Arizona Cardinals | ||
Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson -- Could take Alan Branch, too. Adams can play in a 3-4 or 4-3 and has the speed to reach the pocket. Those guys are hard to find. | ||
6. Washington Redskins | ||
Alan Branch, DT, Michigan -- Intimidating presence in the middle and perfect partner for Cornelius Griffin. Would consider a top DE at this position, too. | ||
7. Minnesota Vikings | ||
Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame -- Vikes would do cartwheels if Quinn were available this far down the board. So they have Tarvaris Jackson. You honestly think he's the next starter? Neither do I. | ||
8. Houston Texans | ||
Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville -- The most intriguing guy in this draft. He's 19 but scouts marvel at his poise. Makes big plays inside and should make an immediate impact. | ||
9. Miami Dolphins | ||
Levi Brown, T, Penn State -- A mauler at the left-tackle position. Face it, the Phins need help protecting Daunte Culpepper. This guy is the ticket. | ||
10. Atlanta Falcons | ||
Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas -- With Patrick Kerney gone, Falcons looking for speed off the edge. Next to Adams, this is the best DE out there. | ||
11. San Francisco 49ers | ||
Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi -- Mike Nolan knows you can't allow 412 points and win. So he rebuilds his defense with the best MLB on the board. | ||
12. Buffalo Bills | ||
Leon Hall, CB, Michigan -- If Okoye were there, the Bills would jump. But he should be gone. That means Buffalo looks for a Nate Clements' replacement. This is your guy. |
