Kurgan's 2007 Mock Draft version 2

[kurgan74]

I have made a few changes. I will add a second round later.

1. Oakland Raiders – QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame – Potential Franchise QB

2. Detroit Lions – QB Brian Brohm, Louisville- Jon Kitna is not the answer, Kitna will start the season as the number 1 and Brohm will replace him by week 6.

3. Cleveland Browns – OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin –The Browns have many needs. If the Browns miss on Brohm or Quinn expect them to grab a franchise LT.

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – CB Antoine Cason, Arizona – With Tiki retirinig this season, will Rhonde play much longer?

5. Arizona Cardinals – DE Gaines Adams, Clemson – Best Defensive end in the draft.

6. Washington Redskins - DT Alan Branch, Michigan – Best DT in the draft.

7. Minnesota Vikings – WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech - Randy Moss ability without the drama and headaches.

8. Houston Texans – RB Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma – The Texans did not take Reggie Bush because of Domminic Davis. They will not make that mistake again.

9. Miami Dolphins – WR Dwayne Jarrett, USC – If Culpepper or Harrington are going to succeed, the Dolphins will need additional playmakers.

10. Atlanta Falcon- RB Kenny Irons, Auburn – Warrick Dunn will not last forever.

11. San Francisco ‘49ers – S LaRon Landry, LSU – The ‘49ers still need some defensive playmakers and Landry is as good as they come.

12. Buffalo Bills – OT Levi Brown, Penn State- Future 10 – 12 year starter along the offensive line.

13. St. Louis Rams – S Reggie Nelson, Florida – Ball hawking safety who will make an early impact for the Rams.

14. Carolina Panther – QB Troy Smith, Ohio State – Jake is not getting any younger, neither is Weinke.

15. Pittsburgh Steelers – LB Paul Posluszny, Penn State – Best OLB in the draft. He will step right in to Pittsburgh’s 3-4.

16. Green Bay Packers – WR Tedd Ginn, Jr., Ohio State – Green Bay could use an upgrade to the WR corp.

17. Jacksonville Jaguars – CB Leon Hall, Michigan – a solid compliment to Mathis in the defensive backfield.

18. Cincinnati Bengals – LB Patrick Willis, Mississippi – With Pollack and Thurman doubtful, LB is a must draft. Other potential pick Lamar Woodley (DE Michigan), Quinn Pitcock (DT Ohio State), Aaron Ross, (CB Texas), or Red Bryant (DT Texas A&M)

19. Tennessee Titans – WR Dwayne Bowe, LSU – A down the field threat for Vince Young.

20. New York Giants – DT Quinn Pitcock, Ohio State – The Giants love D and Pittcock is a solid value pick.

21 Denver Broncos - CB Daymeion Hughes, California- The tragic loss of Darrent Williams will necessitate a CB pick.

22. New England Patriots- CB Aaron Ross, Texas – The Patriots need help in the secondary and Ross will be a solid pick.

23. Dallas Cowboys – G Justin Blalock, Texas – Solid OG will

enhance the Cowboys run game.

24. Kansas City Chiefs – WR Sidney Rice, South Carolina – will quickly become the go to WR the Chiefs have been missing.

25 New York Jets – DT Amobi Okoye, Louisville – The 19 yr. old is on the rise and may go much earlier in the draft, possibly to a certain team in Orange and Black.

26. Philadelphia Eagles – DE LaMar Woodley, Michiagn– Andy Reid would love to have Woodley in Eagle green.

27. New England Patriots- LB Buster Davis, Florida State – New England could easily move up in he draft if they find a player they definietly want. If not, Buster Davis could be a steal at 27 and a playmaking LB for the Patriots.

28. Indianapolis Colts – DT Tank Tyler, North Carolina State – The Colts need to stop the run a gap filling DT is a good place to start.

29. New Orleans Saints – CB Marcus McCauley, Fresno State – The Saints need help in the secondary and McCauley is a special.

30. Baltimore Ravens – WR Robert Meachum, Tennessee – The Ravens need help in the receiving corps.

31. Chicago Bears – TE Zach Miller, Arizona State – Miller is a much needed that can block and stretch the field.

32. San Diego Chargers – LB Brandon Siler, Florida – A fierce hitter in the middle that add additional depth to a stout defense.

Nice pick bud! Brian Brohm isn't coming out this year, so that would most likely be Jamarcus Russell

[schweinhart]

Brohm goes and JaMarcus stays....could definitely happen. Could both stay too if the lure of a national championship is strong enough. We'll know by Jan. 15.

Antoine Cason at #4.... I can see him wind up being a Top 10 pick.

I like Kenny Irons but can't see him going quite as high as #10 and the Falcons do have Jerious Norwood in addition to Dunn.

Not sure about Bowe...Definitely emerged after getting his eyes fixed and has the steam coming into draft. If Rice doesn't come out or the giant WRs in James Hardy and Mario Urritia stay and no team is willing to stake a high pick for Samardzija because of his baseball offer, then Bowe fares even better as a big-bodied possession receiver....Could happen but still can't see a team passing over Meachem for Bowe.

Kind high for Aaron Ross but definitely can see him being the type of DB Bellichick likes. But if Reggie Nelson is gone, I can see him liking Ross's 2 teammates Mike Griffin and Tarrel Brown even more.

Yup. He may be "peaking" a bit too soon, tho, sort of like McCargo last season. 25 might turn out to be about right.

Jamarcus Russell signed with a agent scheiwny

[schweinhart]

Here come JaMarcus.

Don't know who is agent is but I gotta wonder 1 thing: will he try to talk Russell into or against throwing the ball from midfield through the uprights from his knees at the combine. All the coaches and GMs would have to get a kick out of that.
