NFL Mock Draft

[Killadelphia]

alright, i'm going to work in 30 and i'll probably be there till 1 est. Dallas's pick is i think 5 picks ahead, but all the guys picking are on a lot and it could be a matter of hours before i'm up, so if that happens i'll give whoever wants the cowboys second pick up. i'd like to be here to play with it but you gotta do what you gotta do i guess.

just make the pick when you get home.

[xbrokendownx]

hooray its almost my turn again

[livethesounds]

alright, i'm home, just waiting for Ryan.

[mcfly21]

man the bengals would be trying to move up for a player right now....

[livethesounds]

Justin, you're up.

[LeftWideOpen]

man the bengals would be trying to move up for a player right now....

yeah keith rivers wont be around right now. a team would have moved up 12-14 picks ago to grab him if he was still around.

killa sent me his pick for the 49ers, but hes going to be back around 3 so i'll just let him do it.

[mcfly21]

shh dont let anyone remember

[Scott Weber]

i almost took Rivers, but I think the Hawks are set with Hill and Tatupu and will pay accordingly to keep that LB core together.

[kshtoinks12]

realizing the raiders barelyhave any picks this draft, I'm even more happy with my choice. You can't waste your only real chance to upgrade on a position you don't really have a hole at

[LeftWideOpen]

yeah Glenn Dorsey is a smart pick for Oakland.

which is exactly why it wont happen.

[livethesounds]

i thought a lot about drafting Rivers, and i can think of plenty of reasons why i should have, but i think Dallas would probably still go for the skill position players first. There was so much talk about moving up for a running back, it would be weird if they didn't even draft one in the first round.

That is exactly who I assume Dallas will go for unless they make a trade for McFadden. Jerry Jones loves them Arkansas players.

[Killadelphia]

Jones cannot afford McFadden.

[Killadelphia]

packers are up.

[selftitled85]

If the poster for the Packers picks around 5...I will not be able to select until around 1030 (possibly). I get out of work at 5-530 and I have class at 720 but I generally like to get dinner first and its a 40 min commute to work so I may not get to a comp in time. But just in case, I am sorry and I will pick when I get home around 1030.

[LeftWideOpen]

by the way, i pray to god that Gosder doesnt wind up on that team of thugs. he deserves better than to be surrounded by such trash.

[airik625]

Would it be a bad idea to discuss people who we are thinking about drafting?

[Killadelphia]

No it isn't a bad idea because we can't trade up.

[airik625]

Damnit, Kenny Philips was already taken. I was planning on taking him in the 2nd rd (Saints #40). Maybe I can get luck and Keith Rivers is still available (unless he's already taken). But, I highly doubt he'll still be on the board.

[Killadelphia]

Keith Rivers will not go past the Giants, at least he shouldn't.

Phillips is a first round pick for sure.

[Chris M.]

If this was the real NFL draft, Keith Rivers would already be off the board. No way is he around in the second round. I've actually seen a lot of mock drafts that have Rivers going to the Saints in the first round.

[Killadelphia]

well yeah of course.

[airik625]

Very possible. Still think we should draft a CB first round, unless Ellis is still around.

[Killadelphia]

Saints will draft Rivers or trade down.

[airik625]

I hope they trade down and get Ellis or Dorsey. And maybe go after Arizona's Antoine Cason in the 2nd round (assuming all other top CBs are taken).

[Killadelphia]

I hope they trade down and get Ellis or Dorsey. And maybe go after Arizona's Antoine Cason in the 2nd round (assuming all other top CBs are taken).

You mean trade up to get Ellis or Dorsey?

[LeftWideOpen]

by "trade down", he meant trade for later picks.

[Killadelphia]

by "trade down", he meant trade for later picks.

I understand that, but how do you trade down from that spot and still be able to get Ellis or Dorsey

[LeftWideOpen]

I understand that, but how do you trade down from that spot and still be able to get Ellis or Dorsey

oh i was responding to airik ... you apparently beat me to it by seconds.

[airik625]

I understand that, but how do you trade down from that spot and still be able to get Ellis or Dorsey

I meant trade up to get Dorsey or Ellis. Not trade down.

[Killadelphia]

I meant trade up to get Dorsey or Ellis. Not trade down.

Saints could always draft Trevor Laws, though it'd be about a 10 pick reach in the second round.

oh i was responding to airik ... you apparently beat me to it by seconds.

gotcha.

[selftitled85]

um where did the mock draft thread go?

[selftitled85]

nevermind...i could not find it for a second. but there it is.

[Killadelphia]

Please, someone pick for the packers, I have to goto work.

[selftitled85]

I did both Green Bay and my original pick for the Giants.

[selftitled85]

I had to do a quadruple take to make sure that Keith Rivers was truly not selected until my pick at 31. I honestly believe the Giants will go with either Connor or Mayo or Phillips. Rivers should be long gone.

[xbrokendownx]

oh damn that means were onto round 2 and im up again..ill pick in a few minutes

[selftitled85]

oh damn that means were onto round 2 and im up again..ill pick in a few minutes

sounds like a plan jan.

[xbrokendownx]

youre up Jdigg

[selftitled85]

oh damn that means were onto round 2 and im up again..ill pick in a few minutes

I do not agree with your pick one bit...Cason is still on the board and I think he has a much higher ceiling than Flowers and is a much more physical DB than Flowers.

[xbrokendownx]

eh i dunno. i watched a lot of VTech this year because one of my best friends goes there and i liked Flowers a lot. i havent seen Cason play much so

[selftitled85]

eh i dunno. i watched a lot of VTech this year because one of my best friends goes there and i liked Flowers a lot. i havent seen Cason play much so

Oh Flowers is a good pick. I just think Cason would just fit Miami better. They need a shutdown corner. They havent had one since Madison left. Oh well. I saw Flowers and he is good so it still works.

By the way...I am on a James Madison University alumni softball team. Our first game is tonight against Villanova. Supposedly they are one of the frontrunners to win. I plan on making them see purple gold woooo!

[xbrokendownx]

haha i didnt even know there was such a league

good luck

[selftitled85]

haha i didnt even know there was such a league

good luck

Since DC has people from all over the country living/working there...someone came up with an alumni softball league. it is brilliant if you ask me. Each team brings beer and then they play softball.

[FondestMemory]

i have flowers as the 4th overall cb. he was my backup pick at 23 if albert would have been gone.

this year is so damn deep at cb it's ridiculous.

[selftitled85]

i have flowers as the 4th overall cb. he was my backup pick at 23 if albert would have been gone.

this year is so damn deep at cb it's ridiculous.

I don't know. The DB is so deep in this draft is an understatement. In any other year Flowers would be in the top 5 DB's. But this year, Rodgers-Cromartie, McKelvin, Cason, Jenkins, and Indiana DB whose name evades me at this moment are all ahead of him for me.

[mikeyxxcore]

Does anyone want to take over the Ravens draft picks after the 2nd round?
I really don't have any knowledge in players supposed to go later than 2nd round.

[FondestMemory]

should wait til we get past the second to worry about that. at this pace we'll be lucky to get to the third.

[mikeyxxcore]

Good point.

[Scott Weber]

i just found out my bachelor party is on the day of the NFL draft. is it wrong that i'm considering re-scheduling it?

[selftitled85]

i just found out my bachelor party is on the day of the NFL draft. is it wrong that i'm considering re-scheduling it?

Aren't they usually at night? If so it should not interfere.

[Scott Weber]

Aren't they usually at night? If so it should not interfere.
we're doing stuff all day, into the night.

[selftitled85]

we're doing stuff all day, into the night.

Oh Ok. Well then...you may need/want to.

[williek311]

Incorporate the draft into you party?

[mikeyxxcore]

Youre getting married? congrats, if so.
didnt know.

[Scott Weber]

yeah. getting married in a month.

[FondestMemory]

i just found out my bachelor party is on the day of the NFL draft. is it wrong that i'm considering re-scheduling it?

i'll be watching the draft, so if you want me there, you have to reschedule.

[Scott Weber]

haha.

[FondestMemory]

what are you doing for your bachelor party?

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

what are you doing for your bachelor party?
Trying to get to 40k before the wifey locks him down and he disappears from AP forever:wave:

[Scott Weber]

as long as i work from home I won't be leaving AP. haha

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I'm going to an indoor lacrosse game the night of the draft. It's not til 7. Hopefully I can see the Bills pick/trade down before I head out for dinner

[MyWorldEntire]

Holy crap, does Atlanta really have 3 picks in the second round?

[anamericangod]

I'm going to an indoor lacrosse game the night of the draft. It's not til 7. Hopefully I can see the Bills pick/trade down before I head out for dinner

Do you wanna take over for the Bills?

[Killadelphia]

Holy crap, does Atlanta really have 3 picks in the second round?

you're up.

[LeftWideOpen]

if he doesnt pick in time, i vote for Sam Baker, OT USC.

[Killadelphia]

I agree, he has until midnight.

[Killadelphia]

Or another guy I really hope the Eagles get.

[MyWorldEntire]

Wow my bad guys. I got my whole explanation down for my pick, and then I don't even put down the player I was picking. And it was between Baker and Sims for the pick, but I felt that DT was a bigger need than OT. Hopefully Baker will still be on the board for my next pick.

[LeftWideOpen]

Kansas City is on the clock. Antoine Cason is a slam dunk, in my book.

[Killadelphia]

Wow my bad guys. I got my whole explanation down for my pick, and then I don't even put down the player I was picking. And it was between Baker and Sims for the pick, but I felt that DT was a bigger need than OT. Hopefully Baker will still be on the board for my next pick.

So please edit your post.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Do you wanna take over for the Bills?
Yeah I can do them too

[anamericangod]

Yeah I can do them too

Awesome. I'm gonna be super busy the next few days so I figured I'd hand it over to you.

[LeftWideOpen]

sooo Kansas City selects Antoine Cason?

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Awesome. I'm gonna be super busy the next few days so I figured I'd hand it over to you.
Well I'm only in town until Monday around 11, then I'll be gone until Saturday.

So anything that happens in between will have to be dealt with by someone else

[LeftWideOpen]

interesting call on Hardy. I think Mario Manningham may be a better fit opposite Bowe.

[Vanilla Bear]

It was a toss-up between Hardy and Manningham. Just seemed to be more potential for him, although he seems to be a lot like Bowe.

[Vanilla Bear]

plus if I remember right Hardy had a faster 40 time...so i don't think there's much of a difference in speed

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Hurry up and get to pick #41 so I can pick for the Bills before my girl gets here and you have to pick for me.

[LeftWideOpen]

synaddict, you are up again.

[airik625]

Has Trevor Laws been drafted yet?

[Killadelphia]

In the first post of the picks only thread, it has all the picks, look there.

[Killadelphia]

New Orleans is up.

[mikeyxxcore]

Looking back at that first round, might have been some reaching there.

[Killadelphia]

there was a lot of reaching or incorrect picks.

[airik625]

I believe Buffalo is up next, I just picked for NO at #40 or 41.

[Killadelphia]

Denver is up.

[Killadelphia]

Who thinks WillieK is not going to show up to pick?

[LeftWideOpen]

so I say Denver selects Mario Manningham.

either him or Carl Nicks. But I think the value w/ Manningham is much better and Shanahan wouldnt resist.

[Killadelphia]

Brandon, you're up for Carolina.

[LeftWideOpen]

carolina would eat up joe flacco here.

[xbrokendownx]

which is why im about to pick him...gimme a minute haha

[xbrokendownx]

haha justin we posted picks at the exact same time...ive been gone taking the FE all day, my bad. you can delete the henne post

[Killadelphia]

yeah, I just did. I had Flacco first and I totally forgot about Henne until last minute and switched it. Henne will probably go with the next pick.

[Chris M.]

Yeah, Henne will definitely go to Chicago in the actual draft unless Flacco is still on the board. I'm still not entirely sold on Henne so I hope Flacco falls to us.

[Scott Weber]

haha I laughed at "delhomme getting up there in age." He's 33, his health seems way more important than age really.

[xbrokendownx]

yea i saw that he was only 33 after i posted that, but i still find it amazing. what you said about health is obviously true, but to me he plays the game likes hes like 37, 38

[Killadelphia]

33 isn't exactly young either. But yeah, should have mentioned to Tommy John surgery as well.

[Killadelphia]

I also think they go with Henne instead of Flacco because of Delhomme's health. Flacco has all the ability, but it is raw, and I'm not sure if he can step in as fast as Henne.

[Chris M.]

I would be very happy if Carolina took Henne over Flacco if he was still available.

[Killadelphia]

Isn't the big knock on Flacco his foot work?

[LeftWideOpen]

I would be very happy if Carolina took Henne over Flacco if he was still available.

make your pick?

edit: my bad .. thought you were the Bears

[Killadelphia]

Chris M. pick for the bears, not sure where Cubby Nick is.

[FondestMemory]

fuck it. i say somebody pick for the bears. second round shouldn't be as generous with the time it takes between picks.

[Killadelphia]

Yeah, I'm just tired of having to pick for all the teams.

[CubbyNick42]

It was a Saturday night. Didn't we say we were going to have a longer leash for certain times of day?

[Killadelphia]

Yeah, but it is Round 2. Just PM someone your picks if your 5 picks or less away and you don't think you'll make it.

[Chris M.]

Should I just go ahead and pick for Detroit or is that synaddict guy going to?

[LeftWideOpen]

Bengals are up.

[mcfly21]

vikings are up

[Chris M.]

Since I may not be around when the Cardinals pick, someone pick Felix Jones for me. If he's not available than pick Jamaal Charles.

[LeftWideOpen]

yeah jones was picked in the 1st round.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

I'm on vacation til Friday. Pick Andre Caldwell or Earl Bennett for the Bucs. If they both somehow get picked, Jerome Simpson (Coastal Carolina)

WR is a must

[Killadelphia]

He picked Devin Thomas in the first round?

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

He picked Devin Thomas in the first round?
For the Bucs, not the Bills. I picked Brohm for the Bucs in round 1.

I figure we won't make it to pick 72 (Bills next pick) in 4 days so I can do that when I get home.

[LeftWideOpen]

Atlanta picks Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana if synaddict doesnt post by 3.

[GiggsOho]

I might get a steal at the Skins pick...

[Chris M.]

yeah jones was picked in the 1st round.

Oh, I didn't bother to look through the picks when I posted that, I just tried to go off memory. I should be able to make the Arizona pick myself now.

Anyway, I picked for Atlanta since this is taking way too long. Justin, you're up.

[xbrokendownx]

we have two pick 47s somehow

[LeftWideOpen]

we have two pick 47s somehow

yeah because the Pats were given a # even though they didnt pick.

[LeftWideOpen]

Lawrence Jackson is probably the best player left.

No love for the USC guys in this draft!

[Killadelphia]

Arizona's up.

[mat1419]

i just looked at this thing for the first time...there were like 5 wide outs in the first 35 picks? seriously? last i checked they were saying maybe one would get picked in the first round...

[Killadelphia]

Hence why I have not picked a WR for the Eagles lol.

[Chris M.]

i just looked at this thing for the first time...there were like 5 wide outs in the first 35 picks? seriously? last i checked they were saying maybe one would get picked in the first round...

A lot of people have made poor picks or didn't address immediate needs for their team so far.

By the way, Washington, you're up.

[Killadelphia]

A lot of people have made poor picks or didn't address immediate needs for their team so far.

By the way, Washington, you're up.

Yeah, they definitely didn't.

[GiggsOho]

Lawrence Jackson is probably the best player left.

No love for the USC guys in this draft!


Oh, there is plenty of love. If this is the way the first two Redskins picks go down, I may poop myself. Two HUGE needs fulfilled.

[mat1419]

Hence why I have not picked a WR for the Eagles lol.

yeah, i saw king and that's why i went back to look at what wide outs were gone...guess not a lot of people want to fantasy draft a d-tackle or right guard.

you still think the birds will move up? this just seems like a really bad draft to do so and i feel like we'll get less for lito than we should moving up in this draft unless we move up in the first and get another decent pick.

[Killadelphia]

I think they trade lito and #19 to move up 8-10 spots and draft Williams and Otah, and get a later round pick.

Eagles have 11 picks this year. They could also move up to nab rodgers-cromartie.

[LeftWideOpen]

you are up, fondest.

[mat1419]

I think they trade lito and #19 to move up 8-10 spots and draft Williams and Otah, and get a later round pick.

Eagles have 11 picks this year. They could also move up to nab rodgers-cromartie.

i think the otah move is possible, but i've also heard he could be available in the teens and if that's the case, it's not really worth trading lito to move up a few spots unless we get good second round action. i could see us getting a few second rounders though and the talk is, to avoid "missing" on a prospect receiver, the eagles might just use a bunch of their picks on a bunch of receivers and see if any pan out.

[Killadelphia]

well we have a lot of picks to begin with and I don't see the Eagles wanting to do what they did last year where they cut what 4 of their picks? (Thumbs up on that draft!) Lito will bring a pick in the third or fourth round. Eagles will likely draft Albert if he somehow falls to us. But who knows, maybe they'll give the skins or giants their pick this year and draft a punter in the second round.

do we feel relatively confident they won't draft a qb in the second this year? let's hope.

[Killadelphia]

do we feel relatively confident they won't draft a qb in the second this year? let's hope.

They'll definitely reach on a pick somewhere in the draft.

[livethesounds]

scott, you're up

It's unlikely that Otah will make it past the Bears at 14 if he's not taken beforehand.

[LeftWideOpen]

williek is up.

[Killadelphia]

I don't think he's ever made a pick.

[Chris M.]

it's not the Browns pick, isn't it Green Bay's (from Cleveland)?

[Killadelphia]

yeah, I fixed it. The list I got must have been before those trades.

[Killadelphia]

Also, wouldn't Seattle have picked Fred Davis?

[LeftWideOpen]

Possibly, but a lot of places have Bennett over Davis. There isnt a clear top TE, including Dustin Keller. It's a matter of preference.

[Scott Weber]

I got picked for? Sorry, I've been moving all day. I wanted Fred Davis with that pick.

[Killadelphia]

I got picked for? Sorry, I've been moving all day. I wanted Fred Davis with that pick.

Pick it, you haven't been passed I don't believe and LWO can delete the post.

[LeftWideOpen]

ya go ahead and post your pick before the next guy, or you'll be minnesota viking'd.

[LeftWideOpen]

okaaay so i didnt even have to delete my post? that was weird

[xbrokendownx]

he probably just did it himself

[LeftWideOpen]

booo this is censorship! ;)

[LeftWideOpen]

you are up, BD.

[livethesounds]

thank god somebody picked for GB.

[xbrokendownx]

alright gimme a few minutes

[xbrokendownx]

crap guys im sorry, i forgot about my pick. i had work to do before and then i watched the devils game

but LWO nailed it..thats who i wouldve picked anyways

[FondestMemory]

leftwide's on top of shit.

starting to appear as though this has fizzled out already.

[Killadelphia]

I just made two picks, Green Bay is up now.

[selftitled85]

Dammit Justin I wanted that pick. Ill do Green Bay if you give me a bit of time.

[selftitled85]

I just took care of GB. Xavier Adibi.

[Chris M.]

LWO, you're up

[LeftWideOpen]

BD, you are up again.

[Killadelphia]

LWO is up.

[FondestMemory]

i just made a pick for lwo because i saw i had a pm. didn't notice it was from yesterday, so i deleted it.

[Killadelphia]

i just made a pick for lwo because i saw i had a pm. didn't notice it was from yesterday, so i deleted it.

um, did you post it?

[LeftWideOpen]

my bad. havent been this hungover in months. all set now.

[Killadelphia]

I'm going to be gone the rest of the weekend. If somehow this gets to Philly, don't pick for me. I'll make it late Sunday night or Monday morning.

[FondestMemory]

my bad, leftwide. i made that exact same pick for you last night, but deleted it because i saw the pm was a day old.

[LeftWideOpen]

my bad, leftwide. i made that exact same pick for you last night, but deleted it because i saw the pm was a day old.

haha no problem. i actually changed my mind on that first pick after i sent it to you, anyway, so it worked out.

[Clarett'sGreyGoose]

Bills pick Mike Pollak, C - Arizona State at #72 as long as he isn't picked by Jacksonville at 71 here.

[LeftWideOpen]

I made the Jags pick since iihungreii didnt come to make their 2nd round pick. keeps things moving along. you are up, PWF.

[LeftWideOpen]

so this thing really died out

[Killadelphia]

Yeah, it definitely did. What can you do I guess? I'm off this week, so I might finish it out through the 4th round at some point if the shitty weather continues.

[Scott Weber]

i just think people's knowledge really fades after the first few rounds, honestly. then we're all just looking at mock drafts/picking or reaching for local players.

[mikeyxxcore]

Exactly why I can't pick at #99 for Baltimore.

[FondestMemory]

if the steelers don't make any trades and stay where they're at, this is how i would LOVE their picks to be in the first five rounds:

1. branden albert
2. red bryant
3. chris johnson
4. orlando scandrick
5. mario urrutia

sadly, it's looking more and more like albert will be a top 10 pick. if so, i'd rather work a deal and grab some more second round picks. if would get get up in the second and grab brandon flowers, that'd be nice. or if we can grab charles godfrey a little later, i could dig that.

i really wanna come out of the weekend with chris johnson in pittsburgh though. i think that kid's gonna be special. him and willie would make a nice duo.

just sucks that it's not looking like albert will be around. that dude would be fucking perfect.
