Zach Robinson, first round. Write. It. Down. Then sign Ralph Wilson's name on it and get it Chan Gailey. It will work because Gailey is a moron.
I actually like this draft. However, one of the things I get most excited about is the thought of Dwyer/Tate/Hardessy possibly being there in the 4th round. If you put one of those three in there at 105 I would be all over it. I'm a PSU guy, and Shuler isn't bad. He didn't play even close to as well as his pro-day numbers would indicate, but he's got good measurables, and would be a decent project. He's a blocker, and would compliment Keller well.
Don't get too excited. That's more than likely not happening. Anthony Dixon, James Starks, Javarris James, and Charles Brown are a few mid-round backs that would fit in well here. James Starks is one of my favorites. He's a converted quarterback, much like Fresno's Ryan Mathews. I think if Starks didn't miss 2009 with an injury, he'd be a late second round prospect. The guy's a hell of an all-around talent. ...great receiver out of the backfield. Oklahoma's Chris Brown is an interesting prospect. The guy was super productive, especialy in the redzone (20 TDs in 2008). He'll be around after the 5th round... We'll probably see the Jets go after a running back in the 4th, 6th, or 7th.
I initially figured late 2, early 3 for those guys, but that profootball weekly report came has those guys as 4-5 rounders. I don't know much about that publication, but they say the info comes from team scouts, so I figure it's as credible as anything else out there. I am figuring Tate/Dwyer/Hardessy will all be gone by the early 4th, but I have my fingers crossed that one of them will be on the board for our late 4th. I like Chris Brown a lot too-- would love him in 5-6. I was suprised he isn't regarded much higher.
In my last mock draft, Washington acquiring Donovan McNabb changed the landscape of the first round about a day after I posted it. Now the Santonio Holmes acquisition changes the Jets draft.. But hey, a 5th round pick for an explosive, play-making, Super-Bowl MVP receiver who's in his prime sounds like a pipe dream even if he is suspended a few games. I'm psyched about this group of receivers. But thank you all for the comments and feedback. I'll probably post another one before the draft if time permits me and much of what is in this thread will be used to make it seemingly more accurate
