NJ29 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 1. HoustonReggie Bush, RB (USC)I can think of a million reasons that they should trade this pick, but there’s one that overrides everything…marketability, and Reggie Bush gives them that. They should take D’Brickashaw, but that would be smart… and they can’t do that.2. New OrleansVince Young, QB (Texas)The Saints think long and hard about taking Leinart, but they decide to stick with the familiar mobile quarterback, and a great one in Vince Young. 3. TennesseeMatt Leinart, QB (USC)Norm Chow pushes the organization to take Leinart when he becomes available by lobbying and talking him up as much as possible. 4. New York JetsD’Brickashaw Ferguson, OT (UVA)Herm will be gone and that makes me think this team will be blown up to fit the personality of the new coach. Picking up a “franchise” LT seems smart, and they will be surprised to see him fall this far. 5. Green BayA.J. Hawk, OLB (OSU)This is another team with a lot of needs, but this is a great pick. He’s great against the run and pressuring the QB and he’s not a liability in coverage. He’ll bolster the defense right away.6. San FranciscoAhmad Brooks, LB (Virginia)They are crushed when Hawk goes to the Packers, but they pick up a great linebacker here.7. OaklandMario Williams, DE (NC State)They’ll bring in a new QB in the offseason. Culpepper maybe? Either way, they’ll focus on defense. They really need help in the middle, but the line is just horrible. Mario is to great of a physical specimen to ignore.8. BuffaloHolati Ngata (Oregon)Ngata is an underachiever, but the team needs someone to take over the spot of departure Pat Williams.9. DetroitJimmy Williams, CB (Va. Tech)Hopefully Millen gets the boot, and this team can make a step in the right direction. Williams is a good pick here. Think a poor man’s Sean Taylor. Big, fast, and GOOD.10. ArizonaDeAngelo Williams (Memphis)I know, I know…a second rounder on J.J. Arrington last year. But he hasn’t done anything, and there aren’t any QB prospects worth taking at this point, and Green still has faith in Josh McCown… for some reason.11. St. LouisMathias Kiwanuka (Boston College)Leonard Little is ageing fast, and Kiwanuka is too good to pass up at this point.12. ClevelandGabe Watson, DT (Michigan)They need so much that they can go pretty much anywhere here. They need a big time gap stuffer to throw into the middle of their 3-4, and Watson is the best available. 13. BaltimoreDarnell Bing, SS (USC)Baltimore has been looking for a replacement for Will Demps for a long time, and know they find one.14. PhiladelphiaWinston Justice, OT (USC)This team’s problems, well at least those on the field, began and ended with the trenches. Runyan looks like he’s gone and the rest of the line is getting old. Winston needs a little work, but Reid will end up looking like a genius on this one.15. AtlantaTamba Hali, DE (PSU)This team needs to get their defensive line up and running again. Drafting Hali will allow Babineaux to move back inside for depth at DT which should in turn improve their run defense.16. MiamiMarcus McNeill, OT (Auburn)Saban likes his SEC guys. QB could be a pick here, but my money says Brees ends up in Miami. McNeill is massive (6-9, 330) and is (in this guy’s opinion) the best OT in the draft. Injury concerns with his back are the only thing that make him drop a little bit. Brown lobbies hard for this pick.17. MinnesotaDemeco Ryans, LB (Alabama)This team’s defensive line is dominant. The secondary has potential. All they need to solidify the defense is an improvement from the linebacking corps. Ryans provides that here. 18. DallasJay Cutler, QB (Vanderbilt)Dallas needs to start thinking about the future at some point. They were built to win this year (their best lineman didn’t start just say they could switch to the almighty 3-4 for christ’s sake) and we all know what happened. Beyond that, they’ve had such QB problems since Aikman retired that they’ll look to settle them here. Had Cutler played for a major program, he’d be a top 10 pick. Unfortunately for him, he’ll get to play against Taylor and Rogers his entire career.19. San DiegoSantonio Holmes, WR (OSU)McCardell is getting up there in years and Rivers will need a target other than Gates to throw to.20. Kansas CityChad Greeenway, OLB (Iowa)The chiefs need so much defensive help they’ll take ANYONE. Greenway teamed with DJ will give them a solid LB corps for the next decade.21. Tampa BayClaude Wroten, DT (LSU)Tampa has a GREAT defense, but they’re soft against the run. Wroten is a high motor guy that will give them a disruptive player in the middle.22. JacksonvilleMercedes Lewis, TE (UCLA)Jimmy Smith is getting old, and the team has the receivers to replace him, but Lewis makes them even more effective by forcing a safety to pay attention to him rather than Matt Jones or Reggie Williams.23. CincinnatiLaRon Landry, S (LSU)Schweiny almost dies when we don’t take Huff, but Landry is, in my opinion the best safety prospect in years. He’s a Marvin guy, and he fits in right away with Madieu. He is an interchangeable guy, just like Huff, but he is more of a pure Strong safety than Huff.24. New York GiantsMichael Huff, S, (Texas)The Giants’ secondary has been the biggest problem for this team. With no big CBs on the board, they take a kid that can play either safety position. They are shocked that he is still on the board, and they pick him about 5 minutes into there time.25. CarolinaEric Winston, OT (Miami)Carolina needs an upgrade on the offensive line. Jordan Gross is solid, but no one else on the roster impresses me.26. Denver (from Washington)Vernon Davis, TE (Maryland)A physical specimen who is dangerous in the passing game. Offers Jake Plummer another receiving threat, something Lelie hasn’t been consistently.27. PittsburghLenDale White, RB (USC)He’s perfect for the offense, but there is an urge to take a corner here. The recent play of Ike Taylor talks them out of it. I like White, but hopefully 28. DenverBrodrick Bunkley, DT (Florida State)This line is getting old…very old.29. New EnglandMax Jean-Gilles, OG (Georgia)They could go with the secondary here, but the young line needs help. They get it right here with the best lineman in the draft.30. SeattleElvis Dumervil, DE (Louisville)Elvis is a tough pick to project. He could go here or he could drop to the end of the second/early third. Hard to ignore his production regardless of his lack of size.31. ChicagoChad Jackson, WR (Florida)This team needs major offensive help. They’ll take the best receiver on the board at this point. He’s big and strong, and they need a chain mover opposite Muhsin Muhammed.32. IndianapolisTye Hill, CB (Clemson)The Colts secondary can get that much better with the addition of an impact player, and Hill is that guy.

schweinhart Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 23. CincinnatiLaRon Landry, S (LSU)Schweiny almost dies when we don’t take Huff, but Landry is, in my opinion the best safety prospect in years. He’s a Marvin guy, and he fits in right away with Madieu. He is an interchangeable guy, just like Huff, but he is more of a pure Strong safety than Huff.Write up my obit now Landry -- if he has in fact declared -- should be a great upgrade at S, but the more I watch the more I'm convinced that not only what is more needed but the more likely to be prioritized for safety is one with lots of speed who can come closest to covering a WR or TE in man as well as butt hats with the likes of a Reuben Droughns. I remember watching Madieu get strapped on an island covering the Jets speed receivers in the season opener in 2004 when O'Neal was out and even though he lost a couple of those battles he was right there like a true cover corner should be.And I remember Madieu tackling Droughns a couple times in space on MNF with nobody behind him to clean up a whiff. That's the combination in a safety that make the biggest dent in improving the D IMO.I just don't think Landry, Bing, or KO is gonna bring both elements. Huff or Jimmy Williams should and maybe Demario Minter or Donte Whinter.Of course, team needs will fluctuate prior to the draft based on the beginning of free agency in March.

Whur CHad At? Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 People you are forgeting about Mr.Ko Simpson of South Carolina. This guy reminds me of Troy Polamalu and Sean Taylor combined. I could see us taking him first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ29 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think a lot of people are overlooking Jimmy Williams, who you just brought up there schweiny. The only reason I don't see us getting Williams is that he is probably the best corner in the draft, so he could go earlier.On the flipsde, if we can wait til the second or third round to take Whitner, that frees us up to take a big D tackle or pass rushing D - End, or even take a tight end like so many people want.

HoosierCat Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Not bad as mocks go, rover. We pick 24th, tho.

ArmyBengal Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Jimmy Williams = Mad IssuesThis kid got kicked out of the bowl game for some crap and has had issues throughout the season. He's a player YES, but how much so you think ML will put up with ?? He won't be there when we pick in the 1st anyway. Another Pacman Jones in the making...WHODEY !!!

schweinhart Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 That's a well-thought out mock Rover with lots of insight. Top 10 wise right now, I'd have to roll with:1. Vince Young Texans2. Reggie Bush Aints3. Matt Leinart Titans4. D'Brickashaw Jets5. DeAngelo Williams Pack6. Mario Williams Niners7. AJ Hawk LB Raiders8. Vernon Davis TE Bills9. Jay Cutler QB Lions10.

schweinhart Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Winston over Marcus McNeil?Yeah Winston proved he's healthy and he's got a better shot at playing LT than McNeil.Last year I thought McNeil could swing LT but after watching him this year it looks more to me like he'll be a RT -- and an excellent one at that. I'd expect McNeil to be gone by 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ29 Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Anybody else think that Antonio Cromartie could be the interchageable safety that we're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
