Todd McShay's Mock Draft 1.0

[Skinsmaniac]

I don't like the idea of picking a WR in the first round. It seems like there are more 1st round misses on WRs than any other position, except for perhaps QB.

 

[khiladi]

If that comes to pass, then yes we should go CB AND RB.

And Detroit is obviously going defense. Wade won't have any problems packaging certain players on this defense, because many of them don't fit his style of play. They are left-overs from the BP era.

 

[Hostile]

It's all poo until the combine, cause you just know a WR will run a great 40 and shoot up the draft boards. Troy Williamson.....


Cason isn't going to drop past 20, and I think if he runs a good 40 he won't drop past 15.
I like Felix, but I think taking him first round might be a risk.

I wonder if J.Leman will last until our 2nd round pick ?????

You like Leman? He must not run a 4.58 then.

I thought he'd be at the tail end of round 1 or early round 2.

leodis would just be a hard name to take seriously. : )

 

[theebs]

just because his name is leodis we should draft him.

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

I'd rather have Kenny Phillips..

 

[Big Dakota]

Leman will be lucky to go in the late second early third. I really like the kid, but he'll have to have a monster workout to go much higher than the late 2nd IMHO.

We aren't going WR in the first-round of the draft, because Roy Williams is going to be here next year. Why would we draft a WR in the first round, when we can get a clear, proven big talent in this league who is on the trading block? We already signed Crayton to an extension and Stanback is going to play a significant role as well based upon general perception.

With that core, we have one of the biggest WR cores in the league.

If we get Williams than we will be forfeiting at least our first pick. Which I am actually all for but I highly doubt, even as thick headed as he is, Millen will move Williams.

Yeah, I fall for a LB prospect every year. Willis, Carp, Ahmad Brooks to name 3. I think Akin can be replaced, and I was hoping Carp could do it but I don't know if he can.

just because his name is leodis we should draft him.

Oh most defiantly. Every time he makes any kind of play I'm screaming This is Sparta! at my TV.

The Lions want established Defensive Veterans for Williams, not draft picks.

So do I, but I am playing homer this year.

The prospect I love is Arizona's Spencer Larsen, ILB, 6'3", 245.

Kid was the heart and soul of the Wildcats D this year.

I just cant picture the Lions moving Williams and even if they do I cant see us having a piece, which we would part with, that we could send them for him.

Maybe Roy Williams and a player like Marcus Spears...

I just dont see a package that we would offer with equal value.

That is a kid I would love to get as well! I think we may have to trade up in the second to get him though.

I could see Jerry trading for RW, picking up a Corner in FA (perhaps Samuels if $ is right) and then packiging our 1st rounders, 2cnd and 3rd, and possibly Marion Barber for Mcfadden.

He has had a crazy desperate look in his eyes and sound in his voice as of late.

 

[texbumthelife]

If Jerry goes after Samuel then I think other things would fall into play.

Roy Williams gets traded
Hamlin moves to SS
Henry moves to FS or gets traded

I just think without moving one of our other DB there is far too much money tied up back there already to go after someone like Samuel.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

If we draft Manningham at 22 I will break **** (stuff).

I don't see that many trades happening. And I really don't want to give up on Roy just yet (but I'm a hopeless Homer).

 

[utrunner07]

Roy Williams gets traded

I agree that if he gets Samuel then other things are going to change but because of Roy W. contract I think he stays and we try to convert him into a LB. Just my thoughts, probably nothing more than wishful thanking.

BTW, in this video of the cats you get 2 Antoine Cason highlights.

An INT at about 1:10, and a Punt Return at about 1:20 of the video.

You'll know why I crave him in the first.
