The way I see it we've got 9 picks plus 2 comps coming our way, I know Jerry won't keep all of those picks but I'm not Jerry and I'm not doing any trading.

2. Rashad Johnson S Alabama- A playmaker and a leader in the secondary. He should allow Hamlin to move to SS where he can be more effective too.

3. Herman Johnson OL LSU- The biggest OL in the entire draft (probably the biggest player overall). He is a mauler inside at G, but he can also play T. His weight (listed as high as 386, though he is also listed as low as 340's) will probably cause him to fall. Dallas is the perfect place for him though, imagine him being mentored by BIGG and Gurode.

4a. Jasper Brinkley LB South Carolina- This guy is a rock in the middle of the defense. He's big enough to fight through blocks and he fills the gaps very well. He's a heck of an athlete though too and he flows from sideline to sideline very well.

4b. Ron Brace DT Boston College- Maybe the best run stuffing DT in the draft. Reminds me alot of Casey Hampton in that he's be a big strong guy with a wide body. You won't hear either one of their names called a whole lot during the game, but they just make everybody around them better.

5a. Clinton McDonald DE Memphis- At 6'2" 284 he's a bit smaller than our current DEs, but I think he can be very good once he adds a bit of weight. His projected 4.7 40 time really caught my eye, and through 9 games this year he has 7 sacks, 7.5 TFL, and a FF.

5b. Garrett Reynolds OL North Carolina- He's got NFL bloodlines, he's got a ton of experience, and he's versatile. Normally plays RT for UNC, but he has also played some RG.

5c (comp). Connor Barwin DE/LB Cincinnati- He's played TE, DE, and he's been a special teams ace for the Bearcats. I think his size and speed fit well at ILB for us. So far this year he's got 10 sacks, 13.5 TFL, 7 breakups, 6 QBHs, and 3 blocked kicks.

6a. Wopamo Osaisai CB Stanford- He was supposed to be an elite prospect coming into this year, but he's on a bad team and he has underperformed so he dropped way down. Even though he's got plenty of experience, he's still more of a track star playing football. Could be another late round steal for us if he's still here.

6b (comp). Sammie Lee Hill DT Stillman- He is relatively unheard of, and his level of competition will make it hard for him to be drafted very high. He reportedly weighs in excess of 320lbs, and he managed to rack up 7.5 sacks, 15.5 TFL, and 8 QBHs.

7a. Chase Daniel QB Missouri- If he is still on the board at this point of the draft I think we have to take him. He might not ever be a starter, but he reminds me of Romo alot and I think he would be a perfect backup.

7b. Troy Nolan S Arizona St- He's only been playing at Arizona St for 2 years, but in those 2 years he's racked up 10 INTs and 13 PBUs.

I think it's possible for Johnson to drop to round two....but not round three. But then again, you never know.

I would like for us to find a way to draft Johnathon Luigs from Arkansas. Very solid OL. Could be a swing guy at OG/C.

I seriously doubt Rasad Johnson last towards the end of round 2, where we'll be picking

Replace Brinkley with OLB Phillip Hunt and Chase Daniel with QB Mike Reilly and your draft would be very sweet indeed.

Not bad at all.

I don't like Johnson's size though, he's a little light being only 6'-185 pounds, so don't know how well that will translate when he faces bigger guys in the NFL.

Don't think other Johnson will be there late 3rd round either.
Overall not bad, I wouldn't mind this draft.

I dunno, NFL Draft Scout lists him as their 106th ranked player on their top 750...

OTOH, NFL Draft Countdown has him as their 24th rated player...

Love your draft but like the others have said I really do not think that Herman Johnson lasts to the 3rd round especially where I think we will be picking. That would be highway robbbery if we do. Also, I think Brace and Brinkley could be had during the later rounds. Also I read where Brinkley is only a 2 down player and not very good against the pass. The Stanford CB, I do not think last that long either. But if it goes like this, it will definitely be a sweet draft.

On Herman Johhnson, one thing I think everyone is forgeting is that our 3rd round pick went to Detroit. The 3rd rounder that we will actually be picking with is Cleveland's which could possibly be as high as a top 5 pick in the 3rd round.

I still think he'll be gone.
But hey, you never know, it's not that far of a stretch to think there's no way he'll be there, and we could just as easily move up 5-10 spots in a trade up if we wanted him also.
So while I don't think he will be there, he certainly could be or we could trade up a few spots, it's not outrageous to think he can't be there, and it's not like everyone can PERFECTLY predict every player in each round going exactly where theyr'e supposed to be, as long as your mock is CLOSE to where they are projected to go it's fine by me, just cause I dont' think he'll be there doesn't mean he won't be.

I'm not outraged, I was just reminding people of the trade. I personally think that Johnson will be there because of his weight. He is already the 2nd best G prospect behind Duke Robinson (3rd best G if Loadholt comes out too), and if he goes to the combine and weighs in at 360 or better (which is a large possibility) I think that pushes him right into the lower 2nd or higher 3rd round area. Then you have to take into account that Johnson will have to go to a power-running scheme to be successful and you cut down the possible suitors even further.

I like, love the Rashad Johnson pick, ho-hum on the Herman Johnson one

would like a faster player than Brinkley at ILB, we already have a Brinkley in Bradie James

That's not a ringing endorsement for Brinkley.

I agree, I said it's very possible he is there.
Loadholt will be a R.T. though, he won't be a guard prospect.

Well Bradie James is our 2nd best L.B. right now and our 4th best defender right now behind ware/Ratliff/Newman.

James is having one hell of a season for us.

James is terrible in coverage and every time he drops back he looks stupid.

i wouldnt say stupid, i would say that he looks like someone lost in a labyrinth and is struggling to find his way through the maze......

IMO Brinkley isn't as bad in coverage as everybody says that he is. Before injuring his knee last year, he had 2 INTs in the first 4 games. He is not fast enough to turn and run 30 yards downfield with a TE, but in the short to middle zone I think he is very underrated. I'm also not afraid to admit that I've got a man-crush on Brinkley, and he'll probably grace every mock that I do this year.

He's not great in coverage by any means, but then again, he's the strong side I.L.B. and is supposed to be the big run stuffer and is racking up tackles and seems like he's getting a sack a week the last month, he's havign a great season for us no matter his coverage.
