Another two weeks gone by and another Mock!!!! I know you're all excited as I am and I hope you have all been following along at home. Well there are some changes this week, and some picks remain the same. As always I wish for creative and constructive criticism of the picks, and will be more than happy to justify/debate my opinion. Finally we are all aware of Sean Taylor's death and I wouldnt be who I was if I didnt factor that into the mock, its not meant to take the death lightly but this is supposed to emulate real life so that was a factor. RIP Sean Taylor.
1. Miami Dolphins-DT Glenn Dorsey-LSU
Only other pick here would be Chris or Jake Long and at this point, I dont see either being more viable options for the lowly Phins.
2. St. Louis Rams-DE Chris Long-UVA
Moving up the draft charts quickly, Long is very similar to Aaron Kampman in playing style and heart. I was down on him early but have come around recently.
3. New England Patriots-OT Jake Long-Michigan
How do you cheat, and still get the #3 pick in the draft and win a SB? You have a FO like New England does, its that simple.
4. New York Jets-LB Dan Connor-PSU
Lots of holes to fill and Connor plugs in right away next to Harris and Vilma to try and solidify a swiss cheese defense
5. Atlanta Falcons-QB Brian Brohm-Louisville
Ive denied this pick for far too long now, I mean come on Petrino is the HC of Atlanta afterall
6. Oakland Raiders-RB Darren McFadden-Arkansas
Get the top player in the draft two years in a row? Maybe Oakland isnt a black hole after all.
7. Kansas City-LB Keith Rivers-USC
KC needs to be able to stop somebody and Rivers will be a nice building block opposite Derrick Johnson.
8. Cincinnati-DT Sedrick Ellis-USC
Strong, Fast, Athletic, but he has good character...
9. Baltimore-WR Desean Jackson-Cal
Ted Ginn 2.0, with less speed and less disciplined, but better size, I know Newsome likes the kid, I just dont see it
10. Washington Redskins-S Kenny Phillips-Miami
We know why, RIP Sean Taylor
11. Philadelphia Eagles-WR Malcolm Kelly-Oklahoma
This kid continues to climb up boards and I dont see that stopping any time soon, sadly
12. New Orleans Saints-CB Malcolm Jenkins-Ohio State
Jenkins has taken advantage of the lack of top level CB's this year and become the top guy
13. Houston Texas-OT Sam Baker-USC
Baker has had an off year due to injuries and inconsistencies but this could be Houston's franchise LT
14. Denver Broncos-WR Adarius Bowman-Ok St
Denver needs to get Cutler some receiving weapons, Smith is getting old and Marshall is nice but they need more
15. Chicago Bears-QB Matt Ryan-Boston College
My how have the mighty have fallen, and Ryan's inconsistent play did him in
16. Carolina Panthers-DE Derrick Harvey-Florida
Carolina needs something to get Peppers going again and adding the playmaking Harvey may be the ticket
17. Minnesota Vikings-LB James Lauranitis-OSU
QB Tavaris Jackson has come alive and started to become that QB that some draft guru's (cough*ME*cough) said he would be, so they can afford to not go QB
18. Detroit Lions-OT Gosder Cherilus-Boston College
Lions have to protect Kitna and give him more time, if they do that they may just get his 10 win season next year
19. Buffalo Bills-DE Tyson Jackson-LSU
Buffalo has to generate a pass rush and I know we put big money into Kelsay and Schobel but sometimes you gotta recognize a bad investment
20. Arizona Cardinals-CB Justin King-PSU
Arizona adds a playmaker opposite Rolle and they become one of the most dangerous secondaries in the league.
21. Tennessee Titans-WR Early Doucet-LSU
Vince Young gets a late Christmas present
22. San Diego Chargers-CB Antoine Cason
They got Cromartie right in a slight reach, why not give Cason a shot?
23. Dallas Cowboys-CB Aqib Talib-Kansas
Newman just plain sucks and they need to replace him
24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-OT Ryan Clady-Boise State
Losing Petitgout has really hurt them and they need the depth
25. Seattle Seahawks-QB Andre Woodson-Kentucky
Hasselbeck's getting older and Woodson will need a year or two
26. New York Giants-CB Mike Jenkins-USF
Eli Manning better turn his game around or else this pick could end up being a trade up for a QB
27. Jacksonville Jaguars-DE Quentin Groves-Auburn
I know Mystic hates how low I have Groves going, I know
28. Pittsburgh Steelers-RB Felix Jones-Arkansas
Adds a nice second punch to an overworked Willie Parker
29. Green Bay Packers-RB James Stewart-Oregon
Grant has emerged as a nice story but does anybody think he's for real?
30. San Francisco 49ers-WR Mario Manningham-Michigan
Played well through QB instability and has the size to benefit SF
31. Dallas Cowboys-DT Frank Okam-Texas
Hometown pick, makes sense
32. New England Patriots-PICK FORFEIT
Ahh this is what happens when you cheat, you win the damn SB and go undefeated!!!
