New England Patriots
1) David Bass G/C Michigan
2) Robert McCune ILB Louisville
3) Roscoe Parrish WR/ST Miami
4) Gerald Sensabaugh S North Carolina

Stayed Pat and let the draft come to me.

David Bass- vesatile type of Olineman that NE likes. I remember the year that NE was ravaged with injury and could use the depth. You can't go wrong with an Olineman from Michigan. People considered David Bass a second rounder, so i took him in the high second round.

Robert McCune- Bruschi is up in the air, not sure if he will be back after the stroke. McCune has the size of a Patriot LB with the speed and athleticism lacks at the position. Guy has a tremendous upside and should be coachable for Bill.

Roscoe Parrish- Not sure if Troy Brown will be back with the team, but guy is getting up there in age. Parrish gives the Patriots a special teams threat as well as another wr for those 5 wr sets. He will have to gain a little wieght to take the NFL abuse, but i love this guys big play ability.

Gerald Sensabaugh- After watching the Eagles game i looked at Bill's face as it was disgust at the blown coverage by Dexter Reid. A good depth pickup and was the BPA at that point in the draft.

Saints stayed true to the ideals of the draft in trying to improve the overall team. All these Players can step in and start and be an impact on the game.

Round 1. Anttaj Hawthorne DT 04 The saints had only 3 sacks from its starting DT's not including the games Howard Played DT.

Round 2. Channing Crowder ILB\OLB If he stays healthy will be one of the best LB's in the draft

Round 3. Wesley Britt OT One of if not the best OT in the draft his drop in rankings is more from a Broken Leg in 03 and another at the senior bowl 04 than ability.

Hawthorne took over as a starter late in his true freshman season in 2001 and was a fulltime starter from that point on. As a junior in 2003, he finished with 75 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced fumbles. He finished his career at Wisconsin with 41-consecutive starts and had another impressively productive season as a senior in 2004, finishing with 42 total tackles, 11.5 TFL, six sacks and one INT, despite facing nearly constant double-team attention. Hawthorne is a "boom-or-bust" prospect. He is a powerful defensive tackle prospect with great size, good strength and above average quickness.

Crowder was only a sophomore but he is eligible for the 2005 draft because he took a year off after graduating from high school to rehabilitate a knee injury. Crowder completed his career with 179 tackles, 13.5 of which were for a loss. He also had two sacks, recovered three fumbles, forced two fumbles and had one interception. In 2003, he led the nation in tackles by a freshman with 106. In 2004, Crowder played in nine games and finished third on the squad in tackles with 73. He has had trouble staying healthy -- knee injury in high school and arch injury that cost him playing time in 2004.

Britt Has a massive frame and the room to continue to get bigger. He is a consistent player with good toughness, competitiveness and leadership skills. Is an extremely hard worker on and off the field. Is passionate about the game and will continue to work to improve. He is one of the best run-blocking OT's in this class and he can only improve with added bulk. He has adequate initial quickness coming out of his stance as a run blocker. He takes excellent angles, is almost always in very good position, and shows explosive initial pop. He has strong arms and does a very good job of locking on and driving through his blocks. Plays with a mean streak and gives a great effort when working to sustain. He has a terrific wingspan in pass pro. Has adequate quickness in his pass pro set. Plays with good leverage and balance. Has long and strong arms to keep separation. Does a good job of sustaining in pass pro once he has locked on.

Hey guys, I just want to applaud you guys for your efforts this past week. It was very interesting to observe.

I guess the only team that seemed to throw me for a loop was SF not picking a QB in the first four rounds. I figured after Edwards overall, that they'd address it in the second. Seemed the most logical to me.

But overall, awesome effort.:clap2:

I thought Detroit taking a QB was a stretch in 1 and not a good move for that franchise. Yeah, but in essence it's the same scenario as SD last year. You got Brees who hadn't shown them anything, so they draft Rivers. In this case, Harrington has not completely given them any confidence and though you would think they'd give a high-round QB more time, time is not a given in this league.

Fair enough -
Reflects poorly on mgmt to draft a franchise QB round one twice in three drafts......

There were other impact players that Detroit could have drafted. Rodgers will be #3 on their depth chart.....

I know you disapprove of the move, Nors. But I haven't met a Lions fan yet who wasn't thrilled by it!

They're fed up with Harrington.

Solved their safety woes with Pool in the second, and worked on the OL in the next two rounds.

I'm very happy with their draft.

You had a nice draft, BTW.

Bingo, WG. Leading up to the draft, I read where the Lions were thinking of moving up to grab Alex Smith. As it turned out, they drafted the top QB in the draft and didn't need to move up a spot.

At that point in the draft, I thought Rodgers was a much better value than anyone at the safety, OT, or defensive end positions.

San Francisco 49ers draft was interesting, but not nearly as creative as many of the others. I was able to have input on the picks until round four, but thought that Mathis was a value pick at that point.

1. San Francisco- Braylon Edwards WR (Michigan)
33. San Francisco- Corey Webster CB (LSU)
65. San Francisco- Eric Shelton RB (Louisville)
102. San Francisco- Evan Mathis (Alabama)

????
137. San Francisco- OT Sam Lightbody (Washington State) lol

I probably "asked" for that pick as I was trying to goad Cobra into a "Super Sleeper" pick. Serves me right.

I was torn between taking Shelton or McPherson in round three as I do see the 49ers as needing QB help. I'm not convinced that Rodgers or Smith are good value that early in the draft. Frankly, I'm not sure any of the first rounders are worth the #1 over all.Some of you guys get to wrestle with the issue again this coming weekend. It will be interesting to follow along. Just remember to have fun with it.

Again, my thanks to everyone involved, especially Avery and CBZ40. My apologies to Cobra and whoever else's draft board I screwed up. Trust me guys, the real draft may mess with our minds yet again. :)

Dallas gave up to much in this draft and did not get enough back.

I beg to differ:

#20 - Marcus Spears, DE, LSU
#42 - Daryl Blackstock, OLB, Virginia
#59 - Barrett Ruud, ILB, Nebraska
#109 - Brandon Jacobs, RB, Southern Illinois
#111 - Oshiomogho Atogwe - S, Stanford
2006 1st round pick from Baltimore
2006 2nd round pick from Atlanta
2006 2nd round pick from Minnesota
2006 5th round pick from Baltimore

We get three starters, possibly four, if Atogwe pans out. Spears is versatile enough to play either a 3-4 or 4-3 end. The two LB's provide the flexibility to shift to either scheme. Jacobs provides the backup RB who will be able to be a power runner. If there's a weaknes in these selections, then we might point to the lack of a WR. Let's keep in mind that the Cowboys would still have picks in three more rounds in a draft that is deep in WR's.

The real value in this mock are the early picks in the 2006 draft. Rankly, if the Cowboys were to really pull this off, it would be a dream. 4 picks in the first 64 picks would provide some incredible ammunition and allow for a host of options.

Not enough back? What were you expecting? :confused:

Qwickdraw

04-10-2005, 11:42 PM

I agree.
While the Cowboy fan in me would like to see another "Big Name" guy drafted by Dallas to take the field immediately... you have to remember that Dallas had only 4 picks in these 4 rounds initially.
Avery parlayed those 4 picks into 5 potential starters at positions of need and 4 draft picks next year.

Turned 4 picks into 9 picks and only 1 is post-4th rounder. Under this outcome, Dallas has 2 first rounders, 3 second rounders, 1 third rounder, 1 4th rounder and 2 5th rounders in 2006. not bad.
Not bad at all. Good job Avery.

I have no problem trading a few spaces at a time, but falling to end of round 1 makes us pretty passive.

Then again 2006 is setup rather nicely, but while we'll have ammo to move up to get people they'll also know about all the ammo we have and want a kings ransom. Eventually you have to take top notch talent when you can.

2005 equals 1 solid starter, 2 guys who might get on the field when we are in the 3-4

2006 looks to be two pretty late 1st's (we hope) and 3 late 2nds.

If the picks turn out wahoooo, but there is a bigger margin for error than I like.

There is a reason you have a guy at 11 on your board he's better than the guy you have at number 27.

The Browns have more needs than they do picks. Not being able to move down from the third spot didn't exactly help things much either. None of the Defensive players warranted a pick as high as 3 in my book and I figure with the Baltimore influences the new drafts strategy was Best Player Available regardless of position. As much as they need impact players they also need quality depth as well. Quality over quantity was the mindest of this draft.

Round 1
Mike Williams WR USC
Strengths: Great size...Very good hands...A terror in the red zone...Has a nose for the end zone...Will out-leap and out-muscle any cornerback...Put up some huge numbers and was the star on a National Championship team.
Weaknesses: Lacks excellent pure speed...Only played two years of college football...Needs to refine his overall game...Must master the nuances of the position...Will have to shake off the rust after not playing in 2004.

Talent like this don't come around every year. The combination of Williams, Bryant, and Winslow could cause some serious problems for opposing D's especially if the running game develops with Suggs and Droughns

Round 2
Odell Thurman
Strengths: Good natural athletic ability...Has good speed and quickness...Brings a lot of toughness to the position...Good tackler...Moves and changes direction well...Still improving and has a lot of potential.
Weaknesses: Has had some off the field trouble as recently as the '04 season when he was suspended early on...Has only average size...Doesn't have a lot of experience...Raw and far from a finished product.
Notes: Has a lot of potential and has played well...Still has a lot of question marks surrounding him...Had a rough upbringing with both of his parents passing away and came out early to support his family.

This one wasn't my pick and wasn't even on my board at the time. My first choice was actually Brodney Poole, followed By Darryl Blackstock, Kevin Burnett, and finally Channing Crowder. For whatever reason I didn't get my picks.

Round 3
Jason Campbell
Strengths: Has excellent size...Has a big league arm and can make all the throws...Top natural athletic ability...Can run and scramble a little...Solid character and a hard worker...Still has a lot of upside and potential and may have turned the corner in 2004.
Weaknesses: Has been very inconsistent throughout his career...Doesn't read defenses well...Holds onto the ball too long and doesn't have a great feel for the pass rush...Makes poor decisions...Has to work on his technique and mechanics...Was aided by a tremendous running attack and great defense.
Notes: Highly touted recruit who finally began living up to his potential as a senior after a very up and down career...Was a one year wonder but has all the physical tools and will likely be among the top handful of signal callers drafted...Boom or bust type of prospect.

This was the QB I had my eye on the whole draft. Feeling Campbell was just as good and had just as much upside as the top 2 QB's he was an excellent pick at 67

I certainly know I would not mind having a 6’4’ 233 lbs, strong armed and mobile QB, who had 4 offensive coordinators in 4 years, STILL had a completion percentage over 61% every one of those years, AND led his team to an undefeated season his senior year . That was certainly a mouth full. What it does is shows exactly why Campbell might not be the top QB in this draft overall but might just be the best fit for the Cleveland Browns and this team’s future.http://mb8.scout.com/bbrownsinsider]

Round 4
Jonathan Goddard DE Marshall
Strengths: Highly productive and one of the top sack artists in the country as a senior...Very athletic...Has good speed and a burst to close on the quarterback...Has a strong upper body...Very quick off the line...Instinctive.
Weaknesses: Vastly undersized, both in terms of height as well as weight...Will be a liability against the run...Will likely only be a situational pass rusher in the pro ranks.
Notes: Really put himself on the map with an outstanding senior campaign...Won't be a high draft pick but the NFL is always looking for pass rushers which will get him more than a look...Could project to OLB in the NFL, especially in a 3-4 defensive scheme.

Although it was against "lesser" competition Goddard was still tops in the NCAA last year in sacks with 16. First in Sacks, 2nd in Forced fumbles and second in tackles for loss last season alone.
TACKLES 78.0
SACKS 16.0
TACKLES FOR LOSS 28.0
FUMBLES FORCED 5.0
1 interception, 3 fumbles recovered, 2 touchdowns, 5 pass breakups, 1 punt block
I think he's be a perfect fit for a 3-4 OLB and IMHO a steal in the 4th

Cheifs: Team Needs - WR, CB, DL, LB

1st Round - CB: Carlos Rogers.
- With Antrel Rolle and Pac Man Jones already off the board at pick #15 the Cheifs stood their ground and went with the next Corner Back on thier list and selected Carlos Rogers. He's been riseing on many draft boards and some have him rated higher then Pac Man and even Rolle. With the uncertainess of the trade for Surtain they had to select him.

2nd Round - DE: Chris Canty
- With the depature of Hoilday the Chiefs knew they'd have to sure up the line and pick someone to fill the spot or compete with last year's rookie. He'll fit right in.

3rd Round - ILB: Kirk Morrison
- Although not the biggest ILB he'll fit in fine. With the questions on the injury front of Shawn Barber and Scott Fugitia the Cheifs needs to select a LB in case they don't come back at 100%.

4th Round - WR: Mark Bradley
- A sleep on some people's list. He shined bright on Cheifs Board. Coming on strong he's senior year. He's the type of Explosive player that Trent Green can get the ball to. Being 6'1 running a 4.4 he can stretch the field or come across the middle.

Soild Draft I thought.. When going by Team Need.

Your Dallas Cowboys:

#20 - Marcus Spears, DE, LSU
#42 - Daryl Blackstock, OLB, Virginia
#59 - Barrett Ruud, ILB, Nebraska
#109 - Brandon Jacobs, RB, Southern Illinois
#111 - Oshiomogho Atogwe - S, Stanford
2006 1st round pick from Baltimore
2006 2nd round pick from Atlanta
2006 2nd round pick from Minnesota
2006 5th round pick from Baltimore
Best draft by far IMHO.
A 1st and 2 2nds next year is worth a ton.
The 5 selections could all start as they not only meet needs but appear to be BP type guys. Jacobs seems to be exactly the FB BP wants and could be a single back as JJ gets rests. This draft sets up everything up for the 3-4. With Shanle and Thornton you get a solid LB group of young LBs to team with Singleton and Dat.

04-11-2005, 09:05 AM

I wanted to point out that at #11, DJ and Merriman were both gone. The best value on the board was Pac Man who plays the same position as Henry who we just gave a fat contract to. I felt that trading out was the best option seeing as how Barron would have been the pick otherwise and that this is a deep draft with second and third tier guys.

You guys watch watch Ruud this year and you'll wonder how this guy slipped to #59.

Only downside is lack of a WR but it was stretching to grab one plus I feel we can survive with Glenn, Morgan, KJ, etc. for another year. With our picks next year, we put ourselves in position to get almost any WR we want.

Although I would have liked to subvert AZ's chances, I put aside my love of all things Dallas, studied AZ's needs and read their (ugh) message board and assumed the Henry/LJ Shelton trade was dead. I traded 95 and 111 for 80 and selected for the Cardinals:

1st round #8 Cedric Benson RB (Texas)
2nd round #44 Fabian Washington CB (Nebraska)
3rd round #75 Stanley Wilson CB (Stanford)
3rd round #80 CJ Mosley DT (Mizzou)

All will be immediate starters for AZ and their (ugh) message board liked the picks (especially knowing that Rolle and Webster went before AZ selected at 8 and 44)

I picked for the St. Louis Rams, with pressing needs at FS, DE, OT and CB:

Round 1 (19) Khalif Barnes OT (Washington)
Rumor has it Rams brass likes Barnes over Jamaal Brown for his upside as a possible successor to LT Orlando Pace. For now, Barnes will replace Kyle Turley at RT and lock down a position that has been an achilies heel for the team in recent years.

Round 2 (50) Josh Bullocks S (Nebraska)
Per Martz, the team is targeting a few middle-round "sleepers" at free safety. But Vincent Jackson (who the Rams covet as a red zone target) was gone and need and opportunity merged here. A true ballhawk with good coverage skills, I was told I stole Bullocks from Dallas at #59.

Round 3 (66) Bryant McFadden CB (Florida State)
Good value at this pick, with a chance to contribute immediately. I toyed with the idea of going off-plan and taking QB Jason Campbell here (he went one pick later) because it felt like something Martz would do.

Round 3 (81) Bill Swancutt DE (Oregon State)
Yes, I know he's strictly a speed rusher, but he's a warrior who dominated at the Senior Bowl and backed up his insane college production. With the Rams, he'll be playing on the same fast track and will be just as difficult to contain.

Round 4 (117) Lofa Tatupu OLB (USC)
I did not make the picks in this round due to a prior obligation. I PM'd a list of ordered picks to Avery but they were either not received or not used. Don't know much about Tatupu; I would've taken San Diego St. MLB, Matt McCoy

Round 4 (134) Joel Dressen TE (Colorado State)
I like this pick fine, but would've selected Andrew Walter, QB, Arizona State

I had a fun time with this. I found I was very conservative about considering trades and surprisingly patient in letting targeted players fall to me. Overall, I liked Seattle's draft the best.

Marlin Jackson CB (Michigan)
Matt Jones WR (Arkansas)
Ciatrick Fason RB (Florida)
Sione Pouha DT (Utah)
Dan Buenning OG (Wisconsin)

Great job Cbz ;) , I couldn't have done better myself.

Avery I understand that those guys were gone, it definately made it tough to stay there. Did you have any other offers? I'm just curious about what options you had.

I'm not bashing that draft just curious.

Nope, it was either trade out or take Barron. I chose the former because the draft was deep with talent and also because the picks next year will allow us to do things with trades as well ammo for next year.

A true ballhawk with good coverage skills, I was told I stole Bullocks from Dallas at #59.

We would have taken him if he was on the board, big fan of his. After he dropped out, I was hoping to land Browner but he was picked as well.

San Diego Chargers:

#12: OT Alex Barron, Florida State
#28: WR Roddy White, UAB
#61: WR Jerome Mathis, Hampton
#139: CB Dominique Foxworth, Maryland

I did decent I say. I think Barron can help shore the O-Line, and we would now have a great offensive line. I also picked two WRs who can be very good. I feel Mathis and White can really help out Brees, and they should both be very good WRs. Foxworth provides depth at CB.

I really liked the players you drafted. As I said during the draft, however, given the benefit of knowing the players you wanted, there's a lesson for Jerry in there...
Free safety is the one position where I feel like you gambled and paid the price. Atogowe could pan out, but Bullocks/Pool/Browner would've been better, and I feel like Dallas HAS to target a top FS in this draft, especially if we are going to trade down for more picks. Agree 100% on Ruud and I love the Blackstock and Jacobs picks.

Bears:
1. Alex Smith - QB, Utah - 6-4, 220
2. Alex Smith - TE, Stanford - 6-4, 260
2. Justin Tuck - DE, Notre Dame - 6-5, 265
4. Claude Terrell - OG, New Mexico - 6-2, 340

Trading my 1st rounder in 2006 to get Justin Tuck was a BIG gamble on my part BUT I truly feel Tuck is going to be outstanding. My feeling is Justin Tuck = Jason Taylor. Tuck is only a Junior so he's not done growing and developing. My HC is a defensive guy and he's gonna love him. We're going to be an aggressive, attacking unit and even though DL was not a need, I could not pass up Tuck. What also allowed me to go ahead and trade my 1st next year for Tuck was because I got my "franchise type" QB in Alex Smith this year. Remember that Smith is also a Junior so he's not done developing. We're going w/ Grossman this year and letting Smith sit, learn, and develop for this year. Smith has outstanding make-up to be a top-flight QB in this league and I had him rated higher than Aaron Rodgers. Alex Smith (TE) is going to upgrade my TE spot big time. Having signed Muhammad to be our #1 WR, I felt we needed a quality TE to work the intermediate area and serve as a safety blanket for Grossman (and eventually Smith). Smith should open up our vertical, as well as our running game. I think Smith is another Witten in the making. Claude Terrell was picked by Cbz for me (had to work so I asked him to pick for me). I loved the pick, especially coming in the 4th round. I need OL depth and Terrell has the ability to be a quality starter in this league. Coach Smith is going to whip his butt into shape and make him an NFL player. Overall, I believe I had a very good draft. I took a BIG chance but since I'm in the 1st year of a 5-year contract as the Bears GM, I figured I could afford to take chances right now..... :D
