My 2007 Mock *1st Draft*

[Phannman66]

2007 mock draft ; no trades

1. Oakland Raiders – JaMarcus Russell, QB LSU
   
2. Detriot Lions – Joe Thomas, OT Wisconsin
   
3. Cleveland Browns – Alan Branch, DT Michigan
   

This is the only pick I'm going to justify. Romeo Crennel, a defensive coach, who runs the 3-4, always wants to bolster that D. He is going to need a replacement for Ted Washington sooner rather than later since he is 39. And if need be, Branch could play DE. To adress RB, Jamal Lewis is going to get cut from Baltimore, so he is a big canidate to go to Cleveland.

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech

5. Arizona Cardinals – Gaines Adams, DE Clemson

6. Washington Redskins – Jamaal Anderson, DE Arkansas

7. Minnesota Vikings – Brady Quinn, QB Notre Dame

8. Houston Texans – Adrian Peterson, RB Oklahoma

9. Miami Dolphins – Levi Brown, OT Penn State

10. Atlanta Falcons – Reggie Nelson, S Florida

11. San Francisco 49’ers – Ted Ginn Jr., WR Ohio State

As good of a guess as any.

I don't think Peterson slips. I think his workout numbers will be sure to keep him in the top 5.

Good job though, we'll see what happens.

Nonsense ... this Mock is way off ... Cleveland does not take Branch over Johnson or Quinn ... if Cleveland wins the toss they will either take Quinn or trade with the Cowboys who will take Johnson in which case the Bucs picking next will take Quinn.

Good mock. Look forward to your second draft after the combine!

- I'm still not sold on Detroit going for Thomas though. Millen is in charge, and he is an idiot in the draft. I think he goes for Quinn because it's the sexy pick, and he wants to get a franchise QB in there to justify all the first rounders wasted on WRs. Kitna did wonders for Palmer, and Millen might be hoping he can do it again.

- I'm not sold on Cleveland getting Branch simply because I don't think he is worth a top 3 pick. That being said, I really hope we are the ones who draft Branch.

Kind of hard to factor in trades when free agency hasn't even started yet. You have to take mock drafts as they are right now, because trade down/up scenarios won't be clear until after the combine, and a few weeks into free agency, when teams will address certain needs, and the still standing needs to be addressed in the draft will be much more obvious.

Right now mock drafts can only operate off of the notion that there are no trades.
