New Mock based on recent Free Agent signings and team needs

[Hawaii Cowboys]

Do you guys still think Chicago will take a wr after they signed Muhammad and i heard Minn. is trying to get Plaxico Burress

 

[ghst187]

This mock will be adjusted again prior to the draft- most of the big free agents have been locked up- minus the free agent cornerbacks- considering the deemphasis on the cb position it is my contention that those signings will have little impact on the draft- without further adieu here it is:


1) SAN FRANCISCO- Aaron Rodgers- the 49ers need lots of help at several positions but I believe they have seen the success that Pitt had and have watched Eli play well and are convinced that the only way to rise is to get a top notch playcaller ( wildcard- RONNIE BROWN)

2) MIAMI- Ronnie Brown- the most complete back since Ladanian Tomlinson- very fast, big and strong, catches the ball well also- MIAMI will be escatic to get this gem

3)Cleveland- Alex smith- browns desperately need a quality play caller and Romeo Crennel knows this well having seen Brady quietly dominate- (wildcard- Shawn Merriman-

4)Chicago- BRAYLON EDWARDS- most explosive wr threat in draft- even though they have signed muhammed they need a number 2 wr and a young one for the future- they are happy with grossman and jones.- this pick is almost a lock

5)Tampa Bay- Cadillac Williams- rb to go with clayton and simms
wildcard- MIKE WILLIAMS

6)Tennesse- Pac MAN JONES-this is the wildcard slot- they need lots of players-Alex Barron is a real possibility here to

7) Minnesota- MIKE WILLIAMS- williams. burress may make this a better wr corp than last year with moss- wildcard- Derrick Johnson

8)Arizona- Cedric Benson- they will be jumping for joy if this happens-dangerous offensive potential with boldin and fitzgerald

9)Washington- Shawn Merriman- best hybrid player available and Greg Williams prefers the 3-4- if skins lose Coles and Smoot without replacing them this could change- also if williams drops here they will pick him- lastly the skins may go dline if they arent crazy about Merriman

10)Detroit- they need defense and more defense- Travis Johnson will be the pick here- Wildcard- Derrick Johnson could easily be the pick here

11) Dallas- I truly believe if we are on the clock and williams and Merriman are gone we trade down-if we stay here we should take
Derrick Johnson- the only thing about that pick is that it pretty much guarantees we arent going to the 3-4- will Parcells be able to stomach that? wildcard Marcus Spears- i will upchuck if this happens

what do you guys think of this mock? are my picks off? where do you see each team targeting

to be continued

I think Chicago may surprise everyone and take a RB.
I think Minnesota will sign Plaxico Burress and draft defense, probably a CB
I think Tennessee is a huge threat to take Mike Williams
I don't think Detroit will go DT, they already have one of the best in Shaun Rogers. They may go CB or S Davis from UGA or there's a possibility of DJ (although they drafted Lehman last year)
I think Washington would love to get Braylon Edwards if he's still available, The loss of Bailey AND Smoot, even with the signing of Springs, almost forces them to consider a CB given the depth of the CB position this draft. I think they are a good candidate to trade down and take the best DL available though or take one at 10. DL has been a nagging problem for them. Of course they lost LB Pierce also, arguable their most consistent defensive performer. IMO, Washington is the biggest wildcard, they have so many needs. Knowing Snyderscum, I expect them to make the sexiest pick available just to satisfy his ego. Merriman, DJ, CB, DL are probably at the tops of their board.

Dallas: I think we lose a lot of interest if MW, BE, DJ, and Merriman are gone, and frankly we should. Those guys are all good picks at 11, after that considering our needs...there's not much out there. Spears isn't a top 12 pick IMO so i hope we don't do that. A trade back into the mid to late teens would be advisable and try to recoup a third round pick (hopefully to draft J Goddard or K Nugent). Trading back we might look at Spears or even parlaying the pick to grab a few extra mid round picks this year and an extra first next year a la last year's draft. Of course, this time, we'd still have a first round pick.
I'm starting the bandwagon now!!!!! 2006 Draft Ahmad Brooks!!!

At 20, if somehow Merriman was still on the board then its a coup. Spears is a great value there. Mark Clayton is a great value. Jamaal Brown is a great value. Troy Williamson is a good value. If we use our 11 pick to get a player, I think we trade this pick down.

2nd round: Blackstock is a steal, Terrence Murphy is a good value, Williamson is a great value, a trade down and K Nugent is good value, Marlin Jackson is a steal, FS Poole is decent value, Butler is good value, T Munoz is good value

I think we'll deal at least one of those picks though either with a slight trade back to grab a 3rd rounder or a complete trade out to get another first next year.
