NFL Quick Mock Draft

[DonnieIsTheKing]

Since the polls weren't very good last year, we'll try something else this year.

Every couple of weeks we can take the first round draft order and do a "quick draft." Rules:

-You make a pick for the team that's OTC
-You can make no more then 4 picks total for the round
-You cannot pick for back-to-back teams
-Make picks with 100% seriousness - a selection of the league's best punter at first overall will be discarded.
-Yes you can draft anyone that's draft eligible this year (juniors that may or may not declare) but please try and keep it to guys like Adrian Peterson and Calvin Johnson who have seriously talked about coming out.

(draft order as of 11/22)

1. Detroit Lions
2. Arizona Cardinals
3. Oakland Raiders
4. Houston Texans
5. Washington Redskins
6. Cleveland Browns
7. Tampa Bay Bucs
8. Tennessee Titans
9. Minnesota Vikings
10. St. Louis Rams
11. Green Bay Packers
12. Miami Dolphins
13. Pittsburgh Steelers
14. Buffalo Bills
15. Atlanta Falcons
16. New York Jets
17. San Francisco 49ers
18. Philadelphia Eagles
19. Cincinnati Bengals
20. Dallas Cowboys
21. New England Patriots (from Seattle)
22. Carolina Panthers
23. New Orleans Saints
24. Jacksonville Jaguars
25. Kansas City Chiefs
26. New York Giants
27. New England Patriots
28. Denver Broncos
29. San Diego Chargers
30. Baltimore Ravens
31. Chicago Bears
32. Indianapolis Colts

I'll start off.

1. Detroit Lions select QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame

Kitna and McCown are both decent starting options, but that is all they are. In order to fully take care of the Mike Martz offense and the receiving depth there, they'll need a very intelligent QB with arm strength to guide them there. Oh and also, Quinn is going to be hyped as "the next Brady" with his experience under Weis. It's a match made in heaven, and almost a guaranteed pick at this point.

1. Detroit Lions- QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame
2. Arizona Cardinals- OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin
3. Oakland Raiders- WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech
4. Houston Texans- HB Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma
5. Washington Redskins- DE Gaines Adams, Clemson
6. Cleveland Browns- CB Leon Hall, Michigan
7. Tampa Bay Bucs- DE Quentin Moses, Georgia
8. Tennessee Titans- S LaRon Landry, LSU
9. Minnesota Vikings- QB Drew Stanton, Michigan State
10. St. Louis Rams- OLB/ILB Paul Posluszny, Penn State
11. Green Bay Packers- WR Dwayne Jarrett, USC
12. Miami Dolphins, ILB Patrick Willis, Ole Miss
13. Pittsburgh Steelers- OT Sam Baker, USC
14. Buffalo Bills- OT Justin Blaylock, Texas
15. Atlanta Falcons- WR Ted Ginn Jr., Ohio State
16. New York Jets- HB Marshawn Lynch, California
17. San Francisco 49ers- DT Alan Branch, Michigan
18. Philadelphia Eagles- CB Marcus McCauley, Fresno St.
19. Cincinnati Bengals- DE/OLB Lamarr Woodley, Michigan
20. Dallas Cowboys- OT Levi Brown, Penn State
21. New England Patriots (from Seattle)
22. Carolina Panthers
23. New Orleans Saints
24. Jacksonville Jaguars
25. Kansas City Chiefs
26. New York Giants
27. New England Patriots
28. Denver Broncos
29. San Diego Chargers
30. Baltimore Ravens
31. Chicago Bears
32. Indianapolis Colts

With Moss going and Porter checked out in his head as well, they need a playmaker with some character. CJ has the name, the skills, and the potential to make a difference on that offense from day one.

Simeon Rice and Greg Spires are both getting old, and we watch today on Thanksgiving as the mediocre Dallas offensive line pushed this defensive line up and down the field. They bring in Moses as the first step in rebuilding a defense that is eventually going to break down of old age.

Rams take Paul Posluzny. I'd say he's a poor man's AJ Hawk, and he doesn't look totally recovered from the injury but the guy's a stud

Packers take wr dwayne jarrett. Better wr then everybody they currently have on the roster.

Miami takes ILB Patrick Willis. (damn them)

[DonnieIsTheKing]

Thank you for leaving me the option to change the pick, and I think I will. I don't like the idea of taking a QB in the first round this year... Chad still has 2 or 3 years left in him and we just used a 2nd rounder on Clemens. Yes Clemens is unproven, but over the next 2 or 3 years we'll get to see him a little bit. If he doesn't pan out, then we still have Chad to start out the rest of a season and then we can draft a first round QB then.

Instead, I like the idea of taking a playmaking, franchise running back that will be very explosive behind our building offensive line. Say hello to:

HB Marshawn Lynch, California

Our offense is pretty much locked up for now (unless someone wants to replace Askew with Leonard), and then we can focus on defense for the rest of the draft.

[Jabba the Jet]

Good Pick, Donnie ... that's who I would have taken if the probable franchise QB wasn't on the board ... there's no way the QB should have slid this far anyway, he's a TOP 10 lock, but Lynch is a Good Pick for the Jets :up:

[dwalsh]

The 49ers select Alan Branch, DT, Michigan

Yea... Brohm should've definitely been snatched by the Rams, IMO, who would probably have an amazing offense if they had an actual QB.

[WW85]

The Eagles select Marcus McCauley CB Fresno St

Bulger is having a great year in St. Louis.
completing 63.5% of his passes, 4th in the league in yardage, 13-3 TD-INT, 93.9 QB rating.

[Rambo13]

Whooooooooops

[BakerMaker]

Bengals select DE/OLB Lamarr Woodley out of Michigan...Because lets face it they put no pressure on the opposing QB and their D is just bad in general. Woodley can put pressure and certainly fits the bill. Its a great pick by the Bengals IMO.

Kurt Warner did better then that, then went to Arizona and sucked balls.

Do you remember when Bulger was hurt last year and that Ivy League kid was tearing up defenses?

I am a firm believer that the St. Louis QB job is a system-related job (just like the Broncos and their RB) and if they ever got a real athlete in there then look out.

[DonnieIsTheKing]

I can't pick anymore because I've done my 4, but I have a lot of Cowboy fans in the family and they are a team I follow and know quite a bit about. WR help would be nice, and there's 2 prospects still on the board that they'd be drooling over. There are also a few OL around that would assist a mediocre OL, like maybe at the RT position.

So a 58.2 passer rating is tearing it up? He had one good game against a team in the bottom third in pass defense and total defense, and he tore it up?

Martz's system can be a quarterback system. It will no longer be system-related for quarterbacks, because Linehan features a more run-heavy offense with the emergence of Steven Jackson. Saying positions are system related is complete horseshit. With the exclusion of Olandis Gary, every back in Denver has gone elsewhere and proven to be solid. Reuben Droughns, Clinton Portis, Mike Anderson.

Just because players at the same position keep putting up big numbers in the same system, doesn't mean they are just benefitting from the system. USC consistantly puts out excellent quarterbacks, but they are all great NFL prospects, despite the fact everyone says its the system in college football.

I quoted the wrong post too.

[Jonathan_Vilma]

The Dallas Cowboys select Levi Brown, RT, Penn State.

Really a no brainer for a team that keeps featuring several different right tackles. Colombo doesn't get under defenders , because he's too tall. Fabini is way too old and Pettiti sucks. Brown is a football player that someone like Parcells would love.

[dwalsh]

looking at the rest of the teams, i just can't see where Brian Brohm is going to go (easily top-15 talent; possibly top-10)
The only place i can maybe see him going it to the Ravens. If he is still available now in the real draft, expect to see either the Bucs, Raiders, or Bills ot trade up and get him

[Martin&theJETS]

um look at the last time it was updated it is very old.

I don't remember it because it didn't happen.

Fitzpatrick was great off the bench against Houston. He started the next three games and was awful.

My mistake, the Houston game was so fresh in my mind and I completely forgot the other three.

I would agree with you except there is a new system in St. Louis and an entirely new coaching staff.

[Jabba the Jet]

Carolina Panthers select - QB Brian Brohm, Louisville

They can start grooming their next QB behind a 32 year old Jake Delhomme next year, and that gives Carolina the luxury of grooming their QB of the future the right way ... let him sit and learn for a year or two, then make a smooth transition from Delhomme to Brohm when the time is right

And this is how you setup "franchise stability" .. best way to assure you can remain a viable contender into the future, without having to scrape rock bottom and start from scratch, is to make sure you are set at the QB position for the next decade plus .. that's why Carolina shuns "Instant Gratification" and opts for the long term stability Brian Brohm offers


BTW, this is the best "Value Pick" of the draft thus far ..

Panthers secure a probable franchise QB and a TOP 10 lock in the 20's :up:

with pick # 27 NE Patriots select Justin Blalock OT Texas

[Jabba the Jet]

I'll make my forth and final pick

The Denver Broncos select the man-child who started playing college football when he was 16 Years old, and now as a 19 Year old Senior he's already 317 Pounds and his upsdie is enormous

DT Amobi Okoye, Louisville

[WW85]

The San Diego Chargers select.....Buster Davis ILB...Florida St.

I'm sure many have concerns over Buster's height, but this Kid just makes plays. Davis reminds me of Vilma at the U, he's all over the field.

San Diego should be a good fit with their superb DL. Donnie Edwards is showing some age and Buster could be a starter in the near future.

[dwalsh]

I'll make my forth and final pick

The Denver Broncos select the man-child who started playing college football when he was 16 Years old, and now as a 19 Year old Senior he's already pushing 315 on the scale and his upsdie is enormous

DT Amobi Okoye, Louisville

If he falls to the second round, I would LOVE for the Jets to draft this kid. Him & Brian Leonard in the 2nd round would make my day

[Jabba the Jet]

If he falls to the second round, I would LOVE for the Jets to draft this kid. Him & Brian Leonard in the 2nd round would make my day
If Okoye fell to the Jets in RD 2 I would run that card to the podium like Carl Lewis, but its highly unlikely dwalsh .. I think Okoye has a better shot at cracking the TOP 20 {or better} than falling to RD 2

[Learn To Swim]

Blalock was picked twice. Buffalo picked him earlier on.

[BakerMaker]

Baltimore Ravens select Michael Bush, RB out of Louisville. Sure hes coming out of college with a huge question mark of health, but he was considered the 2nd best RB heading into the year and is very dangerous. With aging Anderson being always a question mark and Jamal Lewis being well...Jamal Lewis this is an ideal pick for the offensive hungry Ravens.

The Indianapolis Colts select OLB Earl Everett out of Florida. He may be one of the fastest 4-3 linebackers in the draft and will flourish in the Tampa 2 system, that sits him in a deep zone most of the time. They'll likely be letting go of Cato June, so they need to replace him.

The rule is 25% or less of the season, so it's pretty much 3 games. Bush is legit because he got hurt in the opener.
