SI 2008 Mock Draft

This is the first time I read that McFadden has Character problems.

I think John Booty will go higher, the USC Offense will let his stock rise.

Can someone tell me something about Frank Okam?

Edit:
Frank Okam , DT, Texas, 6-5 320 lbs

 

With a name like Frank Okam, i dont see much good happening

20th?? That means we didnt make the playoffs. So this man is already retarded.

lets not worry about this until next march- 11 months away!!!

 

mcfadden got hurt in a bar fight at some point, that's about it

 

I found another mock:

I can't even read that...

I'm just going to work on initial draft reviews for 2007 and put that up sometime somewhat soon.

 

This is just the same order as this years draft.

 

Why would we need another ILB? Vilma, Harris, and Schlegel on the first day the past 3 years isn't enough?

 

that mock draft was terrible. they have teams repicking the same positions as this year. Panthers taking a wideout, even though they drafted 2 this year. Titans taking another safety, even though they picked up Griffin and already have Chris Hope. Redskins taking another LB, even though they have a bunch already. And why would they take a QB when it looks like Drew Brees led the Saints to the superbowl according to where the Saints are drafting. Its not like hes old

 

Heres another one. Jets picking at #24 select Malcom Kelly, WR Oklahoma

The WR class next year is amazing. Jackson, Sweed, Manningham, Doucet.

 

VERNON. GHOLSTON.

Shawn Merriman the Second.

 

I'm not nearly as high on Desean Jackson as everyone else seems to be. I know he's fast as hell, but he just doesn't have that "it." I live in Cali so I get to see him quite a bit. I remember against USC, he got absolutley locked up by Terrell Thomas. He also looked like a little puss out their most of the time. Two plays into the game he went tipy toeing across the middle and got the shit knocked out of him. He pretty much gave up right then and their. Wouldn't even look towards the middle of the field after that play. The guy just looks mentally weak to me.

 

if you want to talk about wide recievers to watch for next year, remember the name Adarius Bowman

 

I think you can close the book on any character issue guys. Mangini won't draft them.

 

That guy is sick...him and Bobby Reid are gonna tear it up.

 

Do you think WR is going to be our biggest need?

 

I think we'll be looking for a slot guy in the mid-rounds, especially if McCariens leaves. Our biggest needs next year will be the same as last year - DL, OLB, the right side of the OL, and possibly even HB if Jones shows his age.

 

A tad early to predict no?
