    A combined mock of 50 mocks, guess who we pick?

    Thats right, Marshawn Lynch:

    From- http://www.sportznutz.com/nfl/draft/2007/mock_draft.htm

    2007 NFL Mock Draft - Version 3.1
    March 30th, 2007
    We enter the month of the draft with Brady Quinn moving back up and some free agency acquisitions and trades having some serious impact on the mock draft boards. Here is the latest.
    Our Computerized Mock 2007 NFL Draft
    This computerized mock draft is compiled using our own experts along with the grades from over 50 NFL draft sites, as well as over 20 other criteria to give the best overall consensus mock on the web. Here are our latest rankings on who will go where, along with their DQI rankings.
    For more on DQI rankings click here.

    Team
    Player
    DQI

    Change
    1. Oakland

    Jamarcus Russell, QB, LSUThis is one of the most amazing jumps in years. Russell is coming out at exactly the right time, He can bring some excitement back to the Raiders. At 6-6 and 260 lbs Russell has an amazing arm and can survive the traditional Raiders QB beatdowns.

    Other possibilities: Calvin Johnson is getting some play at this spot especially if the Raiders make a play for David Carr.
    2.955
    NC
    2. Detroit

    Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame Quinn has jumped right back up after a poor senior bowl he has reestablished himself as expected as the most ready to play QB right now. They are actively seeking a veteran like Trent Green and if they do expect them to move down for someone like Gaines Adams.
    Other possibilities: Jamarcus Russell, Joe Thomas, Adrian Peterson, Trade Down
    3.375
    +7
    3. Cleveland

    Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma Peterson has all the signs of a franchise back, the only question being durability. He ran a 4.38 40 yard dash at the combine and has a rare combination of running, pass catching ability and big play potential.
    Other possibilities: Calvin Johnson, Brady Quinn, JaMarcus Russell, Alan Branch, Joe Thomas
    3.398
    NC
    4. Tampa Bay

    Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech This 6-4 239 lb freak will instantly be any teams number one and the one million quarterbacks in Tampa will be thrilled to have this kind of talent to throw to. He will make any QB look like Joe Willy. He ran a 4.35 at the combine. That's not a misprint. This kid is as good or better than Randy Moss or T.O. without the baggage. In any other year he would be the number one pick, and he may still be if the Raiders make a move at QB.

    Other possibilities: Joe Thomas, Gaines Adams

    3.511
    -2
    5. Arizona

    Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin Joe Thomas is a player you can build an entire line and offense around. He can protect the franchise and open running holes since the Cards found out last year a great running back is not enough. The Cardinals covet Thomas however and may even be willing to move up to get him as the 6-7 313 pound Thomas is the best OT prospect this year, and tackles are at a premium.
    Other possibilities: Jamaal Anderson, Gaines Adams
    3.875
    -1
    6. Washington

    Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson Adams can make a difference immediately as he was the top pass rusher last season in college football and at 6-4 265 pounds he had 7.5 sacks last year while seeing double teams on nearly every down. He could be one of the best pass rushing true defensive ends in years.
    Other possibilities: Jamaal Anderson, Alan Branch, Leon Hall, Darrelle Revis
    4.432
    NC
    7. Minnesota

    Jammal Anderson, DE, Arkansas The offense could use some upgrading, but with 13.5 sacks last year how do you pass up a talent who is 6-6 and 280 ponds who moves like that.
    Other possibilities: Gaines Adams, Dwayne Jarrett, Leon Hall
    5.207
    NC
    8. Atlanta
    (from Houston)

    LaRon Landry, S, LSU The closest to a consensus pick we have Landry is the Falcons pick on 80% of our draft boards. Landry can play FS of SS, he blazed a 4.35 40 yard dash at the combine he really solidified his position with his combine. The trade will only solidify his position.
    Other possibilities: Alan Branch, Michael Griffin, Gaines Adams, Jammal Anderson
    5.239
    +2
    9. Miami

    Alan Branch, DT, Michigan Gaines Adams and Alan Branch are the two best defensive lineman available, and depending on the rest of FA they could still go with Adams, but Branch has a lot more upside to build around as he has amazing size and athleticism.
    Other Possibilities: Jamaal Anderson, Levi Brown, Gaines Adams
    5.989
    -4
    10. Houston
    (from Atlanta)

    Levi Brown, OT, Penn State The Texans realize that no matter who you play at quarterback, they cannot be successful if they are runnign for their lives. Great teams are built from the line out and the Texans should be done trying to fit in superstars with no protection.
    Other Possibilities: Adrian Peterson, Ted Ginn Jr., Alan Branch, Amobi Okoye
    6.068
    -2
    11. San Francisco

    Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska A huge 6-6 290 lb defensive end that can move. This is probably too high for this workout warrior who has flown up the off-season boards, but Carriker can replace Marques Douglas right away and be an upgrade over time.
    Other Possibilities: Ted Ginn Jr, Dwayne Jarrett, Alan Branch, Gaines Adams
    6.114
    +10
    12. Buffalo

    Marshawn Lynch, RB, California He is the most rounded back available the Bills traded away McGahee and have to replace him, Anthony Thomas is just not going to be the answer. He ran a 4.46 forty yard dash at the combine.
    Other Possibilities: Alan Branch, Leon Hall, Adrian Peterson
    7.300
    +4
    13. St. Louis

    Amobe Okoye, DT Louisville Amobe Okoye isn't even 20 years old yet so his upside is unbelievable, but he is already a great prospect who can play immediately. The Rams biggest need is at linebacker and Willis is a strong possibility, but he seems to be dropping back down the boards.
    Other Possibilities: Patrick Willis, Adam Carriker
    7.663 -2
    14. Carolina

    Reggie Nelson, S, Florida He ran poorly at the combine dropping his stock a lot, but did much better at his pro day (4.35 40) so he is moving back up the boards. He is a ball hawk and fits the Panthers defensive philosophy to a T.
    Other Possibilities: Dwayne Bowe, Paul Poslunsky, Greg Olsen,
    7.855 +8
    15.Pittsburgh

    Paul Posluszny, ILB, Penn State Posluszny is one of those players who doesn't usually get the draft respect he deserves, the boards are finally taking notice. He was the Butkus award winner his Junior year and had 116 tackles as a Senior, but he is not very fast. He is very smart though and plays faster than he is, similar to Donnie Edwards.
    Other Possibilities: Patrick Willis, Leon Hall, Jarvis Moss
    7.977 +12
    16. Green Bay

    Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee As predicted way back in our first mockd raft, Meacham's moved way up again in this mock. His size physicality, and speed should make him a go to receiver very quickly.
    Other Possibilities: Marshawn Lynch, Greg Olsen, Dwayne Bowe, Dwayne Jarrett, Reggie Nelson
    8.110 +3
    17. Jacksonville

    Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State The Jags have tried and tried to get a number one receiver in the draft, this year they try again as Ginn's blazing speed will add a completely different dimension to the Jaguars offense.
    Other Possibilities: Charles Johnson, Chris Houston, Dwayne Jarrett
    8.125
    NC
    18. Cincinnati

    Leon Hall, CB, Michigan With the top rated corner falling all the way to number eighteen, after two safeties, there really is no choice to make here. I would love to see Olsen in that offense, but when a player of this caliber falls this far, there is no real option. The Bengals biggest need is to clean their image up. With a total of 9 arrests last year it is overshadowing any team needs at all other than cleaning up their image.
    Other Possibilities: Darrell Revis, Amobe Okoye, Greg Olsen
    8.352
    -6
    19. Tennessee

    Darrell Revis, CB, Pittsburgh The logjam has been broken and though Cincy could still take Revis and leave Tennessee with Leon Hall, Cincy needs a player like Revis who is a big strong physical cornerback. He is faster than many think and if you saw his punt returns, you know that. He is the definition of shut down corner, at Pitt, the opposition just quit throwing to that side as he was covering like a blanket and he can catch too.
    Other Possibilities: Leon Hall, Chris Houston, Robert Meacham, Dwayne Bowe,
    8.600 +7
    20. NY Giants

    Patrick Willis, ILB, Ole Miss Willis shot up 13 spots in our last mock, he comes back down half of that this week. He is an absolute tackling machine who registered back to back 125 tackle seasons at MLB. He ran a 4.5 40 at 242 pounds at the combine and was a monster at the Senior Bowl as well. This is a future pro bowl player.
    Other Possibilities: Michael Griffin, Chris Houston, Darrelle Revis, Lawrence Timmons
    9.568 -7
    21. Denver

    Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida Moss is a tweener who should make the switch to linebacker much line Manny Lawson did last year. He has tremendous physical talent, but is a bit of a project.
    Other Possibilities: Adam Karriker, Darrelle Revis, Marshawn Lynch, Michael Bush
    9.682 -6
    22. Dallas

    Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC This is mostly a value pick. When a player of this caliber starts to fall, you just have to take him when you can. He's not the fastest, but he has great hands, and makes an impact on the field. He will be an impact player. Not going to stretch the field much but is a first down machine.
    Other Possibilities: Dwayne Bowe, Chris Houston, Ted Ginn Jr.
    10.091 -2
    23. Kansas City

    Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU Why in the world every draft board in the world thinks the Chiefs should draft a WR we can't figure out at all. In Herm Edwards offense a WR is about as useful as... well we cant think of anything less useful than a WR in a Edwards offense to tell the truth, they should draft a bunch of running backs before they kill their franchise with his 30-40 carries a game. Bowe is a great wideout who will be a first down machine, but we still think offensive line here makes more sense.
    Other Possibilities: Ted Ginn Jr, Robert Meacham, Levi Brown, Sidney Rice
    10.284 NC
    24. New England (from Seattle)

    Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida StateTimmons has a ton of upside and can add speed and versatility. Here they get to grab a player who has tremendous upside, even this late. If there are any questions why the Patriots are always good, this is a great example. They will get to draft not for need, but the best available player on the board.
    Other Possibilities: Ted Ginn Jr, Sidney Rice, Darrelle Revis, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meacham, Lawrence Timmons, Paul Posluszny, Michael Griffin
    10.466 -10
    25. NY Jets

    Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas
    Houston is a great example of what a great combine can do for a player. He was a beast in the bench press and ran a 4.32 40 at the combine and suddenly he is in the first round.
    Other Possibilities: Jarvis Moss, Anthoiny Spencer, Chris Houston, Lawrence Timmons, Michael Bush
    11.136 -1
    26. Philadelphia

    Jon Beason, OLB, Miami
    Beason is small, but can transition and should easily win the starting job where Omar Gaither is not exactly tearing up the league.
    Other Possibilities: Jarvis Moss, Darrelle Revis, Michael Griffin, Sidney Rice, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meacham, Lawrence Timmons, Paul Posluszny
    11.914 +6
    27. New Orleans

    Greg Olsen, TE, Miami Olsen falls all the way down to the perfect fit. It's downright scary to think of how good they could be with that kind of weapon. We think they may try to work on defense and take the best available defender, but hey are in a great position being able to take the best player in any position is how great teams are built.
    Other Possibilities: Aaron Ross, Chris Houston, Lawrence Timmons, DeMarcus "Tank" Tyler
    12.182 -9
    28. New England

    Michael Griffin, SS, Texas They can maybe upgrade at safety or go for some depth at linebacker. The boards seem to be leaning towards safety and Griffin is a playmaker. The Patriots also still need some help at WR as they have lost a lot in recent years.
    Other Possibilities: Ted Ginn Jr, Sidney Rice, Darrelle Revis, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meacham, Lawrence Timmons, Paul Posluszny
    12.443 NC
    29. Baltimore

    Anthony Spencer, LB/DE, Purdue
    Another Tweener who the Ravens hope they can convert to replace Adalius Thomas. Second round talent who is getting some love. We would prefer they take an actual linebacker.
    Other Possibilities: Ryan Kalil, Justin Blalock, Michael Bush, Lawrence Timmons, Paul Posluszny
    12.985 +1
    30. San Diego

    Brandon Merriweather, FS, Miami (Fl) Yes, he was in a brawl in college, but he is a Miami player so you get what you pay for. He is a beast at safety and will be an immediate impact player. The Chargers could go wide receiver here as well.
    Other Possibilities: Michael Griffin, David Harris, Darrelle Revis, Brandon Siler, Dwayne Bowe, Robert Meacham, Sidney Rice
    13.025 +1
    31. Chicago

    Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn
    The Bears need to draft for the future on their aging OL and Grubbs can possibly even start or at a minimum play a lot as a rookie.
    Other Possibilities: Tony Ugoh, Joe Staley, Ryan Kalil, Greg Olsen, Dwayne Jarrett
    13.227 NR
    32. Indianapolis

    Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee Just like the Bears, the Colts can take whoever they like here, just take the best available player. Harrell is one tough guy who can help to build a defensive identity.
    Other Possibilities: Tank Tyler, Eric Wright
    13.932 NR

          Its a composite. if we like crap, we should LOVE a heaping pile of crap.

          I like the notion of a composite. Its the closest thing to a poll we could probably get here.

          Pos over Willis is interesting.

            And the starting QB of the Titans was projected to be a top 10 pick and fell. Mock drafts are never reliable and people take them too seriously.

                Lynch is a decent pick here, can't go wrong with it, but I believe we'd do better with Willis instead followed by a Pittman, Chris Henry, or Irons later on.

                        and Posluzny way ahead of Willis who doesn't go until No20? Sounds like a rubbish mock to me

                          A lot has happened since March 20th... not sure things would be the same now (Lynch;s back could change things).
