Rufus T Firefly Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 McShay seems to do some of the best year in year out. Some things I disagree with on this one (starting with our pick), but here it is: 1. Oakland Raiders (2-14) Projected pick: +JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU Russell vs. Brady Quinn? Let the great debate begin. Most teams have Quinn ahead of Russell, but Raiders owner Al Davis could fall in love with Russell's size and deep arm. 2. Detroit (3-13) Projected pick: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame The Lions will be stoked if Quinn falls to them at No. 2. Wouldn't it be great, though, if Matt Millen takes another wide receiver (Calvin Johnson) with this pick? 3t. x-Cleveland (4-12) Projected pick: +Alan Branch, DT, Michigan The Browns want Russell with this pick, but they'll settle for a 330-pound playmaker to help solidify Romeo Crennel's three-man defensive front. 3t. x-Tampa Bay (4-12) Projected pick: +Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech The Bucs have other more pressing needs, but coach Jon Gruden can't pass on the draft's most dynamic offensive weapon. 5. Arizona (5-11) Projected pick: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin As usual, the Cardinals are a prime candidate to trade down. They should get lots of bidders if Thomas -- the only elite offensive lineman in this class -- is still available. 6. Washington (5-11) Projected pick: Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson Adams is a no-brainer for a Redskins defense that set a team record for the fewest sacks in a season (19) in 2006. 7. Minnesota (6-10) Projected pick: +Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas It's hard to believe the Vikings still need defensive end help, but Erasmus James suffered a season-ending injury in the opener and Kenechi Udeze failed to notch a sack. Anderson is the complete package physically and he should capitalize on 13.5 sacks as a junior in 2006. 8. Houston (6-10) Projected pick: +Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma Peterson is expected to make his decision to bolt for the NFL in the next few days. Drafting Peterson here would help to overshadow the Texans' colossal mistake of passing on Reggie Bush with the top overall pick last year. 9. Miami (6-10) Projected pick: Leon Hall, CB, Michigan The Dolphins could consider QB Brian Brohm with this pick, but they also could go the free-agency route in order to get short-term relief. Hall would be a good value here and would help upgrade a patchwork secondary. 10. Atlanta (7-9) Projected pick: LaRon Landry, S, LSU Landry is a ball-hawk free safety who would instantly upgrade the athleticism of the Falcons secondary. 11. San Francisco (7-9) Projected pick: +Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU Dorsey might not fall this far, but the 49ers certainly wouldn't protest such a scenario. Dorsey is a disruptive force as a one-gap penetrating interior lineman. 12. Buffalo (7-9) Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville Projected pick: The Bills have more pressing needs, including cornerback and middle linebacker. However, Okoye is a fast-rising 19-year-old with great potential. 13. St. Louis (8-8) Projected pick: Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska Carriker, a quick and powerful 290-pound defensive end, could be a good complement opposite DE Leonard Little. 14. Carolina (8-8) Projected pick: +Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville The Panthers need help at middle linebacker, left tackle, safety and tight end, but it also might be time to address life after QB Jake Delhomme. If Brohm elects to leave school early, he should be taken somewhere between picks No. 10 and 20. 15. Pittsburgh (8-8) Projected pick: Quentin Moses, DE/OLB, Georgia Moses' stock is dropping after a subpar senior year, but it will spike once he works out at the combine next month. 16. Green Bay (8-8) Projected pick: +Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal QB Brett Favre could help maximize Lynch's explosiveness and versatility if they're working in the same backfield in 2007. 17. Jacksonville (8-8) Projected pick: +Ted Ginn Jr., WR/RS, Ohio State Ginn Jr. has a tough decision to make after injuring his ankle in the first quarter of the BCS title game. Assuming he turns pro, the Jaguars could use his speed. Despite spending first-round picks on the position in 2004 (Reggie Williams) and 2005 (Matt Jones), no Jaguar finished in the NFL's top 50 in catches. 18. Cincinnati (8-8) Projected pick: Tank Tyler, DT, N.C. State Tyler had a monster season as a senior, and his combination of power and quickness would help upgrade the Bengals' ailing defensive front. 19. Tennessee (8-8) Projected pick: +Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC Jarrett is a dynamic playmaker with extraordinary hand-eye coordination, but he might not run well enough to land a spot in the top 15. However, the former Trojans receiver could make quite a team with the former Longhorns quarterback (Vince Young) in Tennessee. 20. N.Y. Giants (8-8) Projected pick: +Darrell Revis, CB, Pittsburgh The Giants must upgrade their cover-corner situation, and Revis displays the athleticism and ball skills to fit their needs. Revis will compete for the second cornerback taken behind Hall in this year's class. 21. Denver (9-7) Projected pick: Daymeion Hughes, CB, Cal The tragic passing of Darrent Williams will force the Broncos to re-evaluate their personnel needs this offseason. 22. Dallas (9-7) Projected pick: +Reggie Nelson, S, Florida Nelson, a speedy center fielder with excellent ball skills, would provide an ideal complement next to hard-hitting S Roy Williams. 23. Kansas City (9-7) Projected pick: +Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina Rice's draft stock could fluctuate greatly depending on his postseason workouts. Assuming he grades out as a late first-round prospect, the Chiefs would welcome his pass-catching services on the perimeter. 24. y-New England (from Seattle) Projected pick: +Jarvis Moss, DE/OLB, Florida Moss is an undersized pass-rushing end who would fit well as an outside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 defensive scheme. Plus, Bill Belichick obviously has a thing for Gators players. 25. y-N.Y. Jets (10-6) Projected pick: Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn Irons' draft stock is plummeting after a disappointing senior campaign. However, don't be surprised if he works his way back into the first round by running well and checking out physically at next month's combine. The Jets might be desperate enough to take a gamble. 26. y-New Orleans (10-6) Projected pick: Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno State The Saints need lots of help on defense, and selecting McCauley would be a step in the right direction. McCauley is raw but he's also a 6-foot-1 cornerback with 4.3-second speed in the 40-yard dash. 27. y-Philadelphia (10-6) Projected pick: +Lawrence Timmons, OLB, Florida State Timmons is unpolished, but he's a big hitter with great speed for his size. 28. y-New England (12-4) Projected pick: Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame Samardzija could easily slip out of the first round due to his desire to play both baseball (Cubs) and football professionally. The Patriots should be "in the know" thanks to their old buddy Charlie Weis. 29. y-Indianapolis (12-4) Projected pick: Patrick Willis, ILB, Ole Miss The Colts' run defense was abysmal during the regular season, so drafting a one-man wrecking crew like Willis makes a lot of sense with this pick. Willis notched 265 tackles during his final three seasons at Ole Miss. 30. y-Chicago (13-3) Projected pick: Levi Brown, OT, Penn State Brown could slip after a disappointing senior season, but it's still tough to find a tackle with his combination of size and agility. 31. y-Baltimore (13-3) Projected pick: LaMarr Woodley, DE/OLB, Michigan The Ravens could use a youth influx at linebacker, and Woodley would be a good fit thanks to his experience playing in a similar hybrid 3-4/4-3 defensive scheme at Michigan. 32. y-San Diego (14-2) Projected pick: Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU A young weapon like Bowe at wide receiver could take an already-potent Chargers offense to the next level.

lavar1156 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I know you just want to share info but I doubt ESPN appreciates you sharing their Insider articles. in regards to the mock draft I think I'm begining to like Anderson more.

chow184 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 jamaal anderson would be our pick if he has that kind of stock he fits our scheme much much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurd Cudins Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 If we cut both Wynn and Daniels(save $4.4million), then sign a top free-agent end like Justin Smith, who is good against the run, then draft Adams, he will be our third end and we can rotate him in situationally.

Im skeptical about having 2 pass rushing DE's and no run stopping option. I'd definitely pick Anderson over Adams. We don't need another 'tweener speed rusher. We have Carter as a speed rusher. We need a true 4-3 DE who is not just a pass rusher but good against the run. Anderson is 6-6 280 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 im not share what the coaches are thinking, but wow the browns take alan branch.. what i know for a fact is that carolina will be taking a qb.. I like Gaines Adams but im more intriguided by anderson.. i highly doubt the browns take branch and go with a skill position instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 we should draft calvin johnson care to elaborate more and and how the skins get him if he will go to Tampa Bay. do u want to continue our theme the future is now motto set forth by dan synder and company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 how is 6'6" 280 lb NOT a tweener? Sounds like another Javon Kearse. i think u mistakened the meaning of tweener? a tweener is somebody who is not really set a certain position and maybe can play OLB or DE.. Kearse is no tweener and Adams is a 260, not 280 and could be considered a tweener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertim Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 how is 6'6" 280 lb NOT a tweener? Sounds like another Javon Kearse. 280 is enough weight to be able to take on NFL O linemen without having to be a pure speed rusher. It also enables him to be more stout against the run. Adams is 6'5 260 which is relatively lanky for a 4-3 DE in the NFL. He is a speed rusher like Carter. Why do we want another speed rusher who could be suspect against the run? From what I've read Adams could put on more weight without losing speed but why chance that if you can get someone like Anderson who is a pass rush threat and stout against the run?

TaylorPickSix Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Gaines Adams is not 6'6" 280 lbs I know, I was referring to Anderson. I can understand your points. I don't think we can go wrong with either. For those of you that claim we don't need two pass rushing DEs...did you watch Carter in run support the end of the year? He made more tackles than the rest of our d-line combined. I'm not so sure it'd be a bad thing to have another version of him on the opposite side.

SEANTAYLOR=HITMAN Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Lets say it comes to be our pick and calvin johnson and gaines adams and anderson are available who do u pick? i am asking cuz i am not good at these things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingtar Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 how is 6'6" 280 lb NOT a tweener? Sounds like another Javon Kearse. Because he dwarfs Gaines Adams perhaps? Anderson is an all around better end than Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
