Finally, My Mock Draft

BradyQuinnisBeast — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 18:19:33 -0000

OK, so after a last minute complete redo of my mock draft, I am finally done. Please ask or comment on any of the picks, BUT NOT THE TEAM ORDER! If you say something like, "Why are the Colts 15th, idiot?" then I will ignore you. And if you hate my mock, try making your own.

1. St. Louis Rams- Sam Bradford I dont think Spagnuolo is a bad coach but the Rams have very little talent. Bulger isnt the future, so a QB is a good place to start. Bradford is an accurate passer that throws great on the run, which is important with St. Louis's bad O-line.

2. Oakland Raiders- Carlos Dunlap Al Davis likes freak athletes. Dunlap is a freak athlete( 6-6 290, 4.6 40 yd dash). I doubt Mays will run under a 4.40 and since he cant cover, I see him as only a SS in the NFL, and since the Raiders drafted Mitchell last year, I dont think Mays will be picked here.

3. Detroit Lions- Russell Okung Hey! At least this should mean they win at least a game. The lions need some protection for their 48-million dollar investment. Okung is a very strong lineman with good footwork and a great frame.

4. Seattle Seahawks (from Denver)- Eric Berry Safeties as good as Berry dont come around too often, and Seattle isnt afraid to draft for value(like aaron curry), especially since they have another pick in the first round.

5. Cincinnatti Bengals- Ndamukong Suh Suh is just a monster. I cant think of anything he cant do. He will really help the Bengal's defensive line, and the Bengals are the only team in the AFC North without a great DT.

6. Jacksonville Jaguars- Dez Bryant Dez Bryant to me is like a Michael Crabtree that wouldnt holdout. Torry Holt is old, and other than him I dont see anyone on the Jaguars that could be a #1 receiver.

7. Buffalo Bills- Bryan Baluga The bills will miss Jason Peters, who was their best lineman by far. The bills need to protect Edwards much better, and Baluga is a very good tackle.

8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Gerald McCoy McCoy has shown that he is dominant in just his first 2 seasons at Oklahoma. He also fills a need for the Bucs.

9. Kansas City Chiefs- Jonathan Dwyer

10. Washington Redskins- Jevan Snead If Jason Campbell ends up doing solid-to-good, then I think he will be gone and sign with Tennessee. If he does stay with the Redskins, then I think that will mean he isnt a franchise guy. Jevan Snead is one of the few QBs in this draft that doesnt come from a spread offense, so he could be viewed as less risky.

11. Seattle Seahawks- Colt McCoy

12. Cleveland Browns- Sergio Kindle

13. San Francisco Forty-Niners- Terrence Cody

14. New York Jets- Arrelious Benn

15. Green Bay Packers- Jahvid Best

16. Dallas Cowboys- Taylor Mays

17. Indianapolis Colts- Brandon Spikes

18. New Orleans Saints- Greg Hardy

19. New York Giants- Jermaine Gresham

20. Houston Texans- Joe Haden

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Sean Weatherspoon

22. Minnesota Vikings- Trevard Linley

23. Baltimore Ravens- Brandon LaFell

24. Miami Dolphins- Rolando McClain

25. Atlanta Falcons- Ciron Black

26. Denver Broncos(from Chicago)- Jerry Hughes

27. Arizona Cardinals- George Selvie

28. Pittsburgh Steelers- Trent Williams

29. San Diego Chargers- Mardy Gilyard

30. New England Patriots- CJ Spiller

31. San Francisco 49ers( from Carolina)- Tim Tebow

32. Tennessee Titans- Corey Wooton

Team Needs

BradyQuinnisBeast — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:26:21 -0000

Do not comment, though, on the order of the teams, or I will ignore you. Before I do my mock, I want to make sure I have the team needs right, so please tell me how my needs chart looks. And can someone make a list of which teams have first rounders aquired from trades?

Practice Squad

BradyQuinnisBeast — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:00:05 -0000

OK, so since we have talked about players' odds of making the practice squad, I have a few questions about it.

How many players are on it?

How are you eligible for it?

What kind of players does the practice squad usually consist of?

Who were some of the players on ours last year?

Is there a way to hold on to players that arent on your roster without having them on the practice squad?

Any guesses on who will be on ours this year?

Surprise Team

Im glad someone gives us a little respect

Selvin Young

Selvin Young

If anyone knows what his contract looked like with the broncos last year could you tell me

2010 FA

BradyQuinnisBeast — Wed, 13 May 2009 02:29:18 -0000

2010 FA

I feel sure Kotnkus (sp) and Mangini will give Jackson a fair contract. I hope they also sign back Vickers and Braylon. On the bright side though, we do have a franchise tag.

2010 Draft

BradyQuinnisBeast — Fri, 01 May 2009 23:00:14 -0000

I know most of u wont want to talk about it because we just finished this years' but i feel like having a conversation about the 2010 draft. As of right now we have

all the picks we would start out with + a fifth rounder from tampa.

I will tell u what i think about each position:(i ididnt include center for obvious reasons)

QB: even though next year is supposed to be a good QB class (that doesnt mean it will. Hunter Cantwell, Cullen Harper, and Curtis Painter were all thought to be future high draft picks this time last year) I strongly oppose drafting a QB. Even if Anderson is traded, we still have Ratliff ~~and Harrel~~.

RB: I think this might be our biggest need for next year. Jamal doesnt have much left in his tank and Harrison (im a big fan) probably cant be a feature back. Unless we see big potential from Davis, we should draft a running back early. I would prefer to get a Jonathan Dwyer(the next brandon Jacobs), but i also like some guys like Jahvid Best . My dream though is that we land LaDanian next year in the FA.

WR: If we keep Braylon then we definetley wont need a WR after drafing 2 receivers this year. Plus we have Legget, Hubbard, and Norwood that have potential.

TE: If Rucker struggles, then drafting a TE might be neccesary. If he does fine though, i dont want one.

OT: we wont need a starting left tackle, but depending on how St Clair does we will have to see if we will need a RT. I think Sam Young would be a good RT for us. Depth at either position would be nice though.

OG: We have a good LG. Our RGs are solid but old. We might want to look into drafting another one. (i like the marlon davis FA signing though)

DT: As long as big baby stays content, this is a position of strength. Rubin is also a good backup.

DE: This is another big need IMO. Corey Williams struggled last year, Kenyon Coleman is old, Robaire Smith is old AND hurt, and i just cant stand shaun smith. I was a little disappointed that we didnt get Gilbert this year, and i really want a good DE this year. The guy i like right now is Carlos Dunlap from Florida. Ndamukong suh is beastly too.

OLB: I think Wimbley is solid and Hall could be good. Veikune could play a little OLB too. Bowens is solid as a backup. I dont think we need to draft an OLB, but if we do i hope it is Jerry Hughes from TCU. Last year, his sophomore year, he led the nation in sacks with 15.

ILB: I will be angry if we draft an ILB, even if it is Spikes. D'Qwell and Barton are good starters, and veikune can provide pass rush from this position. We also have Ruud, Bell, The Boulder(kaluka), and Leon so i think we have enough.

CB: Wright is good and Mcdonald is solid. Ivy and Poteat are both solid. Coye Francies could turn out to be good. Corner isnt much of a need.

S: I think safety is a need. Elam and Pool are solid, and Mike Adams is a good backup, but we need another safety. One of the UDFA DB's that we signed might turn out to be good, but i still want to draft a safety. It wouldnt surprise me if Eric Berry is a future HOFer, and i would love to draft him. Taylor Mays can hit but he cant cover(he doesnt fit the mold of a Mangini safety), so im not near as excited about him. If we cant land Berry, I still hope we draft a safety in the 3rd or 4th round.

So i would say our needs are (in no order RB, an OL(G or RT), DE, and S)

My favorite prospects are:

1. Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech. This dude is a flat out beast. He is about 6'1 240 and he has great speed for such a big guy. He is like a faster Brandon Jacobs. i recommend watching some of his highlights on youtube.

2. Eric Berry, S, Tennessee. He is amazing. He can hit harder than many linebackers AND he is great in coverage. It is rare when you come across a safety this complete.

3. Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida. He has great size to be a 3-4 end(6'6 290). He is a bit raw, but he is a long, athletic DE who can also rush the passer. Im pretty sure he was Defensive MVP of the national championship.

Please note all of these guys are coming into their junior season so there is a chance they wont go pro.

I think this thread will probaly be fun to look back on next april.
