I included a few trades but didn't include compensation because it's only a 1 round mock. Just assume that it's correct value

1.) Miami Dolphins- Chris Long, DE/OLB, Virginia
Parcells will love his high motor and his better than expected athleticism makes the switch to OLB possible.
2.) St. Louis Rams- Jake Long, OT, Michigan
The Rams could easily opt for an interior d-lineman, but Pace is getting older and Alex Barron hasn't been as good as he could be.
3.) Atlanta Falcons- Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
This franchise needs a new face and imo Ryan and McFadden are the only guys who can step into that role, but character will come into play.
4.) Oakland Raider- Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
Al Davis gets the biggest "wow" player in the draft.
5.) Kansas City Chiefs- Glenn Dorsey, DT, Louisiana State
KC has to be estatic that the top two DTs are available. Only guy they would want over Dorsey/Ellis would be Jake Long.
6.) New York Jets- Vernon Gholston, DE/OLB, Ohio State
The Jets need pressure players and Gholston is the best available.
7.) Cincinnati Bengals (from NE via SF)- Sedrick Ellis, DT, Southern Cal
The Bengals attempted to get Rogers so we know they'll be eyeing DTs. IMO it's possible the Ravens grab Dorsey so a trade here is smart.
8.) Baltimore Ravens- Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
The Ravens could go CB here, but I really think QB makes the most sense.
9.) New England Patriots (from Cin)- Dominique Rogers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
New England always seems to dance to the beat of their own drum, so I expect them to shock everyone and grab DRC very early.
10.) New Orleans Saints- Keith Rivers, OLB, Southern Cal
The Saints could go CB, but due to the depth at CB vs OLB, I think they'll grab Rivers
11.) Buffalo Bills- James Hardy, WR, Indiana
The Bills need a big WR and Hardy is probably the best WR in the draft.
12.) Denver Broncos- Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
The Broncos need o-line help. Kentwaan Balmer could go here, but Clady is better so he gets the pick.
13.) Chicago Bears- Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbelt
Another team in need of an OT. RB could be an option or WR, but those needs can be addressed later.
14.) Minesota Vikings (from Car)- Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida
The Vikes need an edge rusher. They tried to sign Justin Smith, but he signed with San Fran so I expect them to aggressively target someone in the draft
15.) Detroit Lions- Aquib Talib, CB, Kansas
Probably the best fit in a cover-2 scheme so Detroit has to be glad he's available.
16.) Arizona Cardinals- Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
IMO they really need a DE/OLB type player to run their 3-4, but none are available, so I think they'll opt to go CB over RB here.
17.) Carolina Panthers (from Min)- Kenny Phillips, S, Miami
The Panthers really need a safety, but I don't know if Phillips will be the answer. During his work outs scouts say he had stiff hips, ran a poor 40 (mid 4.5 I believe) and lacks a nose for the ball. But I wouldn't be suprised to see him go here.
18.) Houston Texans- Rashard Medenhall, RB, Illionois
Medenhall can really take this offense to the next level.
19.) Philadelphia Eagles- Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State
I don't think they'll land Moss or Fitzgerald, so I think they'll go WR here after signing Asante Samuels.
20.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- DeSean Jackson, WR, California
Joey Galloway is getting older and they need to replace his deep threat ability. Jackson is small, but I think he can develop into a Steve Smith type player
21.) Washington Commanders- Malcom Kelly, WR, Oklahoma
Another team in need of a big WR, should be good in a WCO
22.) Dallas Cowboys (from CLE)- Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
A real steal for us here
23.) Tennessee Titans- Kentwaan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
IMO he's better as a 3-4 end because of his frame, but he could be great next to Haynesworth who's in another contract year ;)
24.) Pittsburgh Steelers- Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
After losing Faneca and the RT position being a problem, Otah is a no brainer
25.) Seattle Seahawks- Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
The next RB for Seattle needs to be drafted now cause Alexander is slowing down real fast
26.) Jacksonville Jaguars- Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson
They could use another d-lineman after trading Stroud. I've never been too impressed with their DEs and they still have Henderson so Merling could be good here
27.) San Diego Chargers- DeJuan Morgan, S, North Carolina State
Needs another safety to complete the secondary.
28.) Dallas Cowboys- Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas
I know a lot of you guys don't like him, but I think he's more of a complete back than Chris Johnson and Jamal Charles. As far as the bench press goes, it's over rated and I'm willing to bet after his pro-day he lifts a similar amount to the other two guys who didn't lift at the combine
29.) San Francisco 49ers- Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
I don't like this guy in round 1, but I have a hunch that Sweed goes here
30.) Green Bay Packers- Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
Needs CB depth behind aging starters (sound familar ;) )
31.) New York Giants- Dan Conner, LB, Penn State
They lost 2 starters on D so it's either LB or Safety here (Reggie Smith)

Only two things that stood out, Malcolm Kelly is the #1 W.R. in thei class IMO and no way 3 W.R.'s go before him, if he's there at #20 we should trade up for him.
The other was Dejuan Morgan is NOT a 1st rounder!
I don't think Felix Jones is a 1st anymore either, but he's a possibility we take him, but no way o nmorgan being a 1st, other than that, not bad at all!

Great draft, it's obvious you put a lot of work into it.

That being said, I totally agree with thatsmyqb, in that Kelly we be long gone.

And if not, it will KILL me to see him go to Wash one spot before us.

However, you are dead on that Jenkins would be a steal at 22, and I could actually see it go down like you have it.


But, if Sweed is still there at 28 and we took Jones instead I would be pissed. I think that would be a huge mistake.

I think WR is a bigger need right now and I really want us to go CB, WR with our first two picks.

And I think you can get a good RB in the second whereas I dont think as good a WR will be available by the end of the second.

if we draft a rb in the 1st it will be mcfadden. if it's not him we will not take a rb in the 1st.

I agree w/ Doc's logic regarding WR vs RB in round 1. If the draft falls like that, there will be plenty of quality RBs in Rd2 or even Rd3.

Nice work, nevertheless.

I certainly hope this is the case.

I agree. Jenkins and Sweed would be a nice 1st round indeed!

we are NOT drafting McFaden, it would be a HERSCHEL WALKER type DISASTER NOT in our favor.
That being said, I would also like to see C.B. then W.R. C.B. at #22 since I feel by #28 the Corners we want could be all off the board by then, and then W.r. with the #28, BUT dont' be surprised to see Felix Jones or if a guy like Jonathan Stewart falls to us being taken, could happen, the ONLY R.B. I'd take in round 1 would be Mendenhall if he fell which is doubtfull but R.B.'s have been known to fall I.E. no one thought Kevin Jones OR Steven Jackson would fall to us and BOTH DID, so you never know, although Felix Jones at #28 wouldnt' be the worst pick in the world either, this is a VERY VERY Deep W.R. class with about 10-15 guys I really like!
So while I'd like to go C.B. then W.R. in round 1, I wouldn't have a problme with say Jenkins or DRC with #22 then Felix Jones at #28, although I'd prefer a trade down about 10 picks and then take Jones!

Thanks for putting in the work on this one.

I gotta say though, if Jonathan Stewart falls to us I'd really love taking him over just about anyone. And it goes against my general logic that we should wait till round 3 on the RB.

That's why I don't make decisions.

I think it comes down to VALUE, if we have Stewart ranked as a top 12 pick and the next highest guy on our list is the 19th overall on our board, I think we'd have to take Stewart even if it goes against what I want also to draft a R.B. at #22 when we already have a Pro-Bowl R.B., BUT you gotta figure we could sign Barber to a 5 years deal, Stewart will get a 7 year deal, with Barber and him splitting carries, once Barber's 5 year deal is up, we cut him loose and then we would be able to get another 5 years out of Stewart who won't be BEAT DOWN like a Tomlinson getting so many touches early on that it shortens their career, this would actually give Stewart a longer career and give us 10 good years of a running game with him and Barber for 5 years as a package deal and then 5 more years of just Stewart!

I just want VALUE with our picks, and STEALS if we can get them!
