    Who else is excited?

    Anyone who is a fan of football LOVES draft weekend. For some reason though im more excited for this year's draft, than say last years. Having tons of holes is never a good thing, but when you get to the draft and you look at the talent and the holes that need filled... you are overwhelmed. This draft, for us, is about as unpredictable as they come. And i can't wait to see who falls, who reaches for a player, what trades may happen, and more important... Who we draft.

    I look at our main holes and i see OT, OG, DE, AND LB

    Then I take a look at the depth of these positions in the draft.

    And I come to a conclusion that results in THIS:

    My first and final mock...

    1. The Detroit Lions select...Matthew Stafford QB
    The Lions desperately need a franchise QB. The only one I see in this draft is USC's Mark Sanchez, but the Lions will see otherwise and choose the mildly overrated Stafford.

    2. The St. Louis Rams select... Aaron Curry LB
    The Rams lost out on Jake Long last year and honestly, they do need someone to b an anchor on the O-line side of things. However, with this being said. Curry is incredible talent that will instantly make St. Louis's Defense something to keep your out for.

    3. The Kansas City Chiefs select... Jason Smith OT
    I think almost everyone in the Chiefs organization will agree that if Curry isnt avaliable. They have to take the best OT on the board. That happens to be Smith. Smith needs work, but he is everything you look for in a tackle and a general football player.

    4. The Seattle Seahawks select... Eugene Monroe OT

    5. The Cleveland Browns select... Michael Crabtree WR

    6. The Cincinnati Bengals select... B.J. Raji DT

    7. The Oakland Raiders select... Jeremy Maclin WR

    8. The Jacksonville Jaguars select... Mark Sanchez QB

    9. The Green Bay Packers select... Brian Orakpo DE/LB

    10. The San Francisco 49'ers select... Malcolm Jenkins CB/S *Surprise of the draft

    11. The Buffalo Bills select... Michael Oher OT

    I will add the rest soon...


    12. The Denver Broncos select... Aaron Maybin DE

    13. The Washington Redskins select... Tyson Jackson DE

    14. The New Orleans Saints select... Rey Maualuga LB

    15. The Houston Texans select... Clay Matthews LB

    16. The San Diego Chargers select... Everette Brown DE

    17. The New York Jets select... Josh Freeman QB

    18. The Denver Broncos select... Brian Cushing LB

    19. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select... Robert Ayers DE

    20. The Detroit Lions select... Percy Harvin WR

    21. The Philadelphia Eagles select... Darius Butler CB

    22. The Minnesota Vikings select... Eben Britton OT

    23. The New England Patriots select... Larry English DE

    24. The Atlanta Falcons select... Brandon Pettigrew TE

    25. The Miami Dolphins select... Peria Jerry DT

    26. The Baltimore Ravens select... Darius Heyward-Bey WR

    27. The Indianapolis Colts select... Evander Hood DT

    28. The Buffalo Bills select... Clint Sintim LB

    29. The New York Giants select... James Laurinaitis LB

    30. The Tennessee Titans select... Vontae Davis CB

    31. The Arizona Cardinals select... Phil Loadholt

    32. The Pittsburgh Steelers select... Alex Mack C

    Yeah man, very excited. Right along w/ ya. I have a good feeling about this years draft. I think our team is going to shape up very nicely after the draft is complete.

      I'm very excited for this weekend and like I've said, this draft will make or break this team for years to come. If they draft well, we could see this team take a huge step forward, if they continue to draft poorly, then we will be in trouble.

      As for Oher at #11...I just don't see it. I see them going defense and getting a pass rusher or if Raji falls, I think they grab him and slide him in next to Stroud.

          I dont think Oher is a very "exciting" pick for some, but all the top OT's are going to go quick. And i can honestly say I can see Oher being a top 5 OT in this league.

            I can see where your coming from. This is why I am excited, we can go in many different ways and still help the team.

                personally, i want Orakpo or Brown... But Im thinking they get a pass rush specialist type of player at 28 or with the 42

                  I think you're going to see the pass rusher at #11...unless, like I've said, Raji falls.
