NFL Quick Mock Draft

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.

Code:

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 

 

Edit: GH beat me to it. #4 coming up.

 

Now dwalsh beat me to it... hold on. Didn't Washington swap first rounders with Denver in one of those deals?

 

According to wikipedia, no

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NFL_Draft#Traded_Picks

So the Redskins select DE Gaines Adams, Clemson.



An absolute pass rushing fiend, and DE is a spot the Skins are a little lacking at.

 

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers select DE Quentin Moses, Georgia.



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.
