Gosselin's first mock

[AdamJT13]

I figured someone would have posted it in the other thread by now, but it seems to have digressed into something unrelated.

Here's Goose's first mock --

Team ......Player ....Pos............College

1. St. Louis Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma

NFL's 28th-ranked passing offense gets a huge boost

2. Detroit Ndamukong Suh DT Nebraska

Best player in the draft slides to the Lions

3. Tampa Bay Gerald McCoy DT Oklahoma

A defensive tackle in the Warren Sapp mold

4. Washington Russell Okung OT Okla. State

The Commanders need to protect their new quarterback

5. Kansas City Eric Berry S Tennessee

The best cover safety in the draft

6. Seattle Trent Williams OT Oklahoma

Time to replace Walter Jones in the blocking front

7. Cleveland Jimmy Clausen QB Notre Dame

Starting QB Jake Delhomme is 35 years old

8. Oakland Derrick Morgan DE Ga. Tech

Greg Ellis and his team-leading seven sacks are gone

9. Buffalo Bryan Bulaga OT Iowa

Quarterbacks took a beating in 2009 with 46 sacks

10. Jacksonville Brandon Graham DE Michigan

The Jaguars managed only 14 sacks last season

11. Denver Rolando McClain MLB Alabama

Having cut Andra Davis, there's an opening in the middle

12. Miami Earl Thomas S Texas

Gives Dolphins ability to cover Wes Welker in the slot

13. San Francisco Anthony Davis OT Rutgers

49ers need to cut down on their 40 sacks

14. Seattle Ryan Mathews HB Fresno St.

Seahawks rushed for only 7 touchdowns in 2009

15. NY Giants Dan Williams DT Tennessee

Not re-signing Fred Robbins creates an opening

16. Tennessee Jason Pierre-Paul DE S. Florida

Freaky athleticism reminds Titans of Jevon Kearse

17. San Francisco Joe Haden CB Florida

49ers finished 21st in the NFL in pass defense in '09

18. Pittsburgh Kyle Wilson CB Boise State

Steelers corners had only 2 interceptions in 2009

19. Atlanta Maurkice Pouncey C Florida

Can walk in as a starter at either guard or center

20. Houston C.J. Spiller HB Clemson

Texans averaged only 3.5 yards per carry in 2009

21. Cincinnati Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma

Carson Palmer needs a safety valve receiver

22. New England Sergio Kindle OLB Texas

Patriots managed only 31 sacks last season

23. Green Bay Jerry Hughes OLB TCU

Packers need a pass-rush complement to Clay Matthews

24. Philadelphia Brian Price DT UCLA

Andy Reid loves drafting linemen

25. Baltimore Dez Bryant WR Okla. State

A good player always seems to slide to the Ravens

26. Arizona Demaryius Thomas WR Ga. Tech

Departure of Anquan Boldin leaves big shoes to fill

27. Dallas Mike Iupati G Idaho

Cowboys need to get younger on the offensive line

28. San Diego Jahvid Best RB Cal

Life without LaDainian Tomlinson begins for Chargers

29. NY Jets Devin McCourty CB Rutgers

Jets need a shutdown corner opposite Darrelle Revis

30. Minnesota Kareem Jackson CB Alabama

To beat Drew Brees, you need depth at cornerback

31. Indianapolis Rodger Saffold G Indiana

AFC champion drafts a walk-in starter

32. New Orleans Sean Weatherspoon OLB Missouri

Losing Scott Fujita in free agency creates an opening

Mathews before Spiller? No way

 

[JBS]

hey adam, who is your choice for our first rd pick?

 

[SDogo]

What! Berry to the Chiefs! No way!

Right Glory!

 

[AdamJT13]

hey adam, who is your choice for our first rd pick?

Who will be available?

 

[SDogo]

If the Colts take Saffold I will be sick.

 

[AdamJT13]

Mathews before Spiller? No way

Gosselin claims that his first mock is mostly based on his player rankings (more than specific team needs), so either he or some teams or both must have Mathews ranked higher than Spiller.

 

[JBS]

Who will be available?

Lets say you can choose from anyone outside of these players

Bradford
Suh
Mccoy
Berry
Okung
Williams
Bulaga

Holmgren: Let's trade away Brady Quinn for peanuts and then draft another QB from Notre Dame. It should go over very well with the fans.

Here is your answer SD..based on his rankings, yes, Berry is the BPA..but not for Pioli..

 

[marchetta]

I prefer Pouncey to Iupati. Pouncey can walk right in, start, and play at a high level day 1. Iupati is going to take a full year to develop. He has power and strength, but he lacks technique and foot speed. He'll develop, but it's going to take a year, which is actually ok since we still have Kosier for another year.

i would want Berry

Spiller just has that Chris Johnson factor to him. The only one similar is Jahvid Best and his career could be in jeopardy if he has another concussion. A bigger back like Mathews can be had in the mid rounds.


A lot of us would like to know what you think about our pick. I remember you being down on Iupati but what do you think about some of our other options like Pouncey, Mccourty, Nate Allen, Vlad Ducasse etc.?

 

[SDogo]

Here is your answer SD..based on his rankings, yes, Berry is the BPA..but not for Pioli..

lol, well done

 

[masomenos]

I think we could all live with Iupati.

Bradford
Suh
Mccoy
Berry
Okung
Williams
Bulaga

Well, we'd probably have to trade way up to have that happen, but in that situation, I'd probably take Earl Thomas.

 

[JBS]

This is what I was looking for from you..essentially who you are hoping will fall to us

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Would you trade a 2nd rounder to get up for Earl Thomas?

 

[AbeBeta]

Thanks Adam.

If you take an interior OL guy in the first, he'd better be special. I think this kid will .. I'd be excited if things fell that way.

 

[AdamJT13]

This is what I was looking for from you..essentially who you are hoping will fall to us

There's probably no chance that he falls that far, but if he falls a little, maybe we'll trade up for him.
