HOL 1 round Mock v1.0

[SDogo]

It's going to end up being a 7 rounder but I wanted to drop the 1st round on you guys now.

In the past (not on here) my mocks have drawn some real criticism but as always, I welcome it. I'm justified in knowing 2 out of the last 3 years my sites mock has ranked in the top 10 of the THR-Top 100 mocks and both years I ended up less then 8 points behind the winner. I also was the only contestant out of the top 100 to predict Tedd Ginn to Miami after getting a solid tip off. You can imagine the heat I took on that one as well so bring it on. Every criticism motivates me to look further into my philosophy and thinking.

For anyone that is interested, I'll be posting my whole 7 round mock Sunday. If not thanks for looking this time.

15 Detroit-Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
16 Arizona-Dominique-Rogers Cromartie, CB, Tennessee St

EXCELLENT UP TO THIS POINT!

17 Minnesota-Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina

Here's where you lose some credibility, The Vikings have TWO PRO-BOWLERS in Pat Williams and Kevin Willimas and the best D.T. duo in the league, so drafting a D.T. in round 1 would be equivalent to the Cowboys drafting a T.E. in round 1, would just make NO SENSE AT ALL!
You should really double check the depth charts when making a mock!

18 Houston-Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
19 Philadelphia-Kenny Phillips, S, Miami

Nice selections

20 Tampa Bay- Early Doucet, WR, LSU

Doucet over Sweed/Hardy/Kelly????

27 San Diego-Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas

They got Cromartie and former 1st rounder Quentin Jammer, so I think they go another direction in round 1.

Other then the Vikings screw up and me thinking there's NO WAY that Sweed/Hardy AND Malcolm Kelly all don't get selected in round 1, very good mock, and no way Brohm makes it out of round 1 either!
