A classic Quincyyyyy post from 9 months ago: Gurode may not be smart enough
I thought this was worth reposting:
The reason why we have trouble with blitzers may be this guy:

There was good reason why he started off here as a guard. Because he is just not smart enough to play center. The average wonderlic for a center is 25. Andre Gurode's is 15. The reason why centers tend to be the highest scoring players on the wonderlic is because they need to be able to read defenses and make line adjustments. Gurode may not be able to do that.
Grizz expressed his concern in '06's training camp concerning this very topic:
if he can conquer the mental aspects of being the center, there’s no way he won’t start the season as the #1.
Now I don't have any direct evidence that this is Gurode's fault, but I'm suspecting his lack of intelligence has a lot to do with it, and there is a history of it being a problem.
FYI we need to get rid of Leonard Davis as well. Just thought I'd throw that in.
Brandon Graham makes it known he is a Cowboys hater
Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship... [/sarcasm]
Newman Gushes over Teddy Williams
a 6'3 cornerback who can run like the wind? This kid is truly one in a million:
On Teddy Williams:
"When I see him, I want to make sure I try to help him prove all of those critics wrong. There is no ceiling. He can go as high as he wants to. To see his transformation from day one to day five is remarkable. A lot of people, to play this game at this level, it doesn't come easy. For him, he's done a great job with trying to transform the things he's done on a track surface to converting to being a cornerback."What are going to be some of Teddy Williams's obstacles in getting to the level of being an NFL player:
"Obviously he hasn't played football in a very long time so just getting the terminology and knowledge of what we do here. Other than that, just learning the different stances we have to take and press. Like I said, he's getting it, he's getting it quickly. It's impressive to watch him; it's fun to watch him."
http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/08/terence-newman-its-impressive.html
If he is anything he is hyped to be I don't think we could fit him on the practice squad. Some team will sign Teddy to be their 53rd player in an attempt to develop him.
Poll: DoJo should be a PG and Roddy should be a SG
Why is it that people are so set on Roddy going to PG when he obviously is not good at it? Clearly Roddy can be a great SG, but why do we need to force him into the PG spot? It seems to me if anyone would make a good PG it would be DoJo. He has shown great passing skills and seems willing to embrace that position. Am I crazy?

Over-drafted Tebow has the cohones to ask for more money than under-drafted Bryant
File this under things that make you pull out your hair:
The Dallas Cowboys selected Dez Bryant with the 24th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, and the Denver Broncos selected Tim Tebow 25th. Ordinarily, that would mean Tebow should get paid a little bit less than Bryant.
But Tebow apparently wants more money than Bryant, and that's why he wasn't there when the Broncos' rookies reported to training camp today.Ed Werder of ESPN reported on NFL Live that the holdup on Tebow's contract is the request from agent Jimmy Sexton that a premium be paid to Tebow because he's a quarterback. Sexton wants Tebow to get a biggersigning bonus, higher base salaries and more money overall than Bryant is getting from the Cowboys.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/28/report-tim-tebow-wants-more-than-dez-bryant/
Firstly, Dez was a top ten talent that fell. Secondly, Tebow according to many in the draftnik community was a third round talent that got drafted too high. Now Tebow has the audacity to ask for money than Dez? Unbelieveable. He should count his lucky stars that Denver was stupid enough to take him over Jimmy Clausen or Colt McCoy; both of whom are better QB prospects than Tebow. I don't know what it is about Tebow, but that kid gets on my nerves more than anybody else.

Quincyyyyy's highly anticipated 53 man roster and 7 man practice squad projection
Notes:
- rookies are bolded and UDFA's have an asterisk
Offense: 24
QB: Romo, Kitna, McGee
Kitna is on my watch list for surprise cuts. Kitna is 38 and not that good honestly; if McGee can show he is decent and can handle the offense I would not be surprised to see Kitna gone.
RB: Felix, MB3, Choice,
No surprises here.
TE: Witten, Bennett,
H-Back: John Phillips, Scott Sicko*
Sicko's athleticism and receiving abilities would complement our corps well since we already have two good blockers in Bennett and Phillips. Deon Anderson is oft injured and a one trick pony. If John Phillips can show he can take over Anderson's role then that would open up a roster spot for someone else.
WR: Austin, Dez Bryant, Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton, Kevin Ogletree,
Crayton is a victim to a talented receiving corps, and as a result his role will be very limited this year. I'm guessing we'll keep him in hopes that someone will make us a good offer before the trade deadline. Hudgins is a talented record breaking UDFA who may force the team to keep 6 receivers.
OT: Free, Colombo, Alex Barron, Brewster
OG: Davis, Kosier, Holland,
C: Gurode, Travis Bright
The young'uns as well as McQ have been rather unimpressive thus far. I don't see 10 NFL roster worthy linemen in this training camp, so the Cowboys will settle for 9 OL.
Defense: 26
NT: Rat, Josh Price-Brent
DE: Olshansky, Spears, Hatcher, Bowen, Sean Lissimore
Siavii could still make the team if the coaches aren't confident in Price-Brent. Sean Lissimore got by in college on his superior athleticism and strength. He'll have to show the coaches that he can develop his game if he wants to make the roster.
OLB: Ware, Spencer, Butler, Brandon Williams, Curtis Johnson
ILB: James, Brooking, Sean Lee, Jason Williams, Stephen Hodge
Hodge is the wild card here. He supposedly has good coverage skills and special teams ability. He could force the team to keep an extra ILB, but he has to get on the field first so he can fend off Octavien for the last linebacker spot.
S: Sensebaugh, Mike Hamlin, Barry Church*
FS/CB: Alan Ball, Akwasi Osuwu-Ansah
CB: Newman, Jenkins, Scandrick, Bryan McCann*
A cheaper Barry Church replaces Watkins who has maxed out his potential with this team. Is Cletis Gordon really that much better than the rookies, whom still haven't tapped their potential? I don't think so. Thus it comes down to either McCann or Wall. I'm going to give it to McCann. I just think he has more potential as a CB than Wall (especially with his 4.35 speed), but if coaches want a better special teamer they'll go with Wall.
Special Teams:3
LS: L.P. Ladoucer
K: Buehler
P: McBriar
Can Buehler be more than a kickoff specialist? One of the biggest questions this training camp.
7 man Practice Squad:
WR: Terrell Hudgins*
FB/H-back: Chris Gronkowski*
CB: Teddy Williams*
CB: Jamar Wall
OT: Sam Young
RB: Lonyae Miller*
OG: Mike Tepper*
A lot of interesting prospects here:
- I really like Mike Tepper, but he needs a year to remake his body, which was my biggest concern going into the draft.
- Lonyae Miller is an underrated RB who had to live in Ryan Mathews shadow in college.
- Teddy Williams is blazing fast but very raw since he hasn't played football since high school. But you got to give the Cowboys props for thinking outside the box. Who else would think to unfreeze a baseball great from cryogenic suspension to play cornerback?
Quincyyyyy's highly anticipated FIRST 4 round 2011 MOCK!!!!
What do you get a team that has everything? Interior linemen, kickers, and backup QBs. That is what this draft is all about. CB is potentially a need, but I think AOA may end up being Newman's successor and not a FS.
1. C Stefen Wisniewski Penn State

Very good center prospect with great mobility, but may need to add some bulk. Will be a great replacement to the inconsistent Gurode.
2. OG/OT Benjamin Ijalana Villanova

This year's Vladimir Ducasse. Played left tackle but may be a better guard in the pros where he can maximize his potential as a road grader.
3. QB Jerrod Johnson Texas A&M
Cowboys dip back into the Aggie well once again. Johnson is a better pro prospect than Stephen McGee. He has all the tools you look for, and is comparable to Vince Young in terms of his size and skill set. Johnson can take Kitna's spot on the roster and will make a good developmental prospect as he still needs to work on the finer points of being a NFL QB.
4. K Kai Forbath UCLA
Buehler has a lot to prove in this training camp, but thus far the reports out of the mini camps and OTA's haven't exactly been stellar. Forbath is an elite kicking prospect with good leg strength and great accuracy. He should finally end the revolving door we have had at kicker.
Maybe a dumb question regarding Dirk and Al Jefferson
If we trade for Al Jefferson, could we possibly have Dirk play the three? I'm not the most knowledgeable basketball fan, but a lot of his skills would seem to translate well.

Quincyyyyy's highly anticipated post mini camp 53 man ROSTER and 7 man practice squad
Notes:
- rookies are bolded and UDFA's have an asterisk
- some notable veterans have been cut or traded and replaced by cheaper rookies
Offense: 26
QB: Romo, Kitna, McGee
Kitna is on my watch list for surprise cuts. Kitna is 38 and not that good honestly; if McGee can show he is decent and can handle the offense I would not be surprised to see Kitna gone.
RB: Felix, Choice, MB3, Lonyae Miller*
Lonyae Miller is my biggest surprise to make the team. He offers special teams potential and is a big powerful athletic back who can take over MB3's role in a year or so. He has great potential after being in Ryan Mathews shaddow.
TE: Witten, Bennett,
H-Back: John Phillips, Scott Sicko*
Sicko's athleticism and receiving abilities would complement our corps well since we already have two good blockers in Bennett and Phillips. Deon Anderson is oft injured and his potential is limited.
WR: Austin, Dez Bryant, Roy Williams, Kevin Ogletree,Titus Ryan
Crayton will be held out for trade bait until the final cuts, and Ryan's speed will give him the edge over the rest. Hudgins is a talented record breaking undrafted free agent who may force the team to keep 6 receivers.
OT: Free, Colombo, Alex Barron, Sam Young
OG: Davis, Kosier, Brewster, Travis Bright
Mike Tepper is the odd man out, but if he shows enough in training camp he could force us to keep 11 OL. In addition, McQuistan gets his chance to play an entire training camp at guard; it's make or break with him this year.
Defense: 24
NT: Rat, Sean Lissimore (NT for now, might eventually play DE)
DE: Olshansky, Hatcher, Bowen, Marcus Dixon
Siavii could still make the team if the coaches aren't confident in Lissimore. Is this the year Hatcher or Bowen step up?
OLB: Ware, Spencer, Butler, Brandon Williams
ILB: James, Brooking, Sean Lee, Jason Williams
Hodge is the wild card here. He supposedly has good coverage skills and special teams ability, he could force the team to keep an extra ILB.
S: Sensebaugh, Mike Hamlin, Barry Church*
FS/CB: Alan Ball, Akwasi Osuwu-Ansah
CB: Newman, Jenkins, Scandrick, Bryan McCann*
A cheaper Barry Church replaces Watkins who has maxed out his potential with this team. And I think McCann surprises some people in camp and beats out Wall for the last spot. He was an underrated player at SMU and has the potential to be a solid player in the NFL if not more.
Special Teams:3
LS: L.P. Ladoucer
K: Buehler
P: McBriar
Can Buehler be more than a kickoff specialist? One of the biggest questions this training camp.
7 man Practice Squad:
WR: Terrell Hudgins*
FB/H-back: Chris Gronkowski*
ILB: Stephen Hodge
CB: Jamar Wall
WR: Manny Johnson
NT: Junior Aumavae*
OT: Mike Tepper*

Mike Hamlin will make all you haters look like fools
the last play at the end of the video is the best
Giants first round pick is probably a bust
And to think, they could have had Dez Bryant instead...
Jeff Ireland to Dez Bryant: Was your mother a prostitute?
Last Wednesday, the night before he was selected 24th overall by the Cowboys, former Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant(notes) told me that during one of his predraft visits, a high-level executive of one NFL franchise had asked him if his mother, Angela, was a prostitute.
"No, my mom is not a prostitute," said Bryant, whose background – including his mother’s lifestyle and past legal troubles – was under great scrutiny prior to the draft. "I got mad – really mad – but I didn’t show it."
The offender was Ireland, whose franchise apparently holds nothing sacred in regards to its evaluations of potential employees.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ms-trippintuesday042710
Ireland also scouted the wrong player, LOL!
One of the writers from the Sun-Sentinel relays a comment made by Jeff 'go back to' Ireland regarding the 'Fins selection of Koa Misi from Utah. When 'talking up the selection' of Misi, Ireland mentions getting a look at Misi vs Alabama (i guess emphasizing their scouting of him versus a higher level of level of competition from WAC to SEC) and in justifying Misi he raves about his performance that game and credited him with multiple sacks versus Alabama. Problem is, Misi had no sacks versus Alabama. The player he was referring to was Sylvester (taken by Pittsburgh) who had multiple sacks. Two other Samoan-Islander defensive players got sacks. Even current Dolphin Sean Smith a db had a sack. But no Misi.
http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2010/4/26/1445996/dolphins-scout-wrong-player-from
Man I'm glad that idiot is gone. Wish he took Barbie Carpenter and his pet cat Stanback when he left.

Quincyyyyy's highly anticipated FINAL mock draft!!!
Disclaimer: I reserve the right to change this draft based on any last minute trades.
Cleveland starts to become jittery that Minnesota may select Colt McCoy. Last time Cleveland needed a QB Jerry ended up prying a future first rounder from them. This time he is able to pry a current third and move back to the early second. And that is how this story begins...
2a. OT/OG VLADIMIR DUCASSE UMASS

With this pick the Dallas Cowboys select a player who could eventually take over the RT spot, and allow them to unload Colombo's contract a year or two down the line. In the mean time he could take over the swing tackle spot, give Free some competition, and maybe even compete for a starting guard spot.
2b. DE/DT Linval Joseph East Carolina

One of my favorite players in this draft. This massive lineman is incredibly strong and powerful. On first blush he seems like an ideal NT, but his quickness and ability to penetrate allows him to play 5 technique. This will also give the Cowboys an opportunity to trade Spears if they see fit.
3a. CB/FS/PR Akwasi Owusu-Ansah Indiana (PA)

Small school star CB who has great size, athleticism, and can play either CB or FS. He also offers fantastic return abilities. He sort of reminds me of Dominque Rodgers Cromartie when he came out from a small school a couple of years ago.
3b. C J.D. Walton Baylor
Intelligent gritty interior lineman who can be that smart leader on the offensive line that Gurode never was. He is also used to playing in the shot gun, which I'm sure Romo will appreciate.
4. WR Emanuel Sanders SMU

Very productive small speedy receiver who can help out in the return game as well. Think a faster version of Devon Bess, another June Jones WR.
6. ILB/OLB Danny Batten South Dakota State

Another pet cat of mine. He is a very strong and tough player who could help out a 3-4 defense in a lot of ways including as a pass rusher, though his best position in the NFL may be strong side ILB. He should also make a great special teamer.
7. FB John Conner Kentucky

"Cricket" has been oft injured and now appears to have some legal troubles. John Conner is what Anderson should have been. Conner is known at Kentucky for his bone crushing blocks and his tough inside running. He should make an admirable replacement

Rick "Goose" Gosselin's First Mock Draft!!!
I would much rather have McCourty as oppose to Iupati. I'm sure Iupati is going to be a pro-bowler, but lets be honest he is a guard and McCourty is a very good CB (and a good special teamer as the cherry on top)
Cliff Harris's son at Dallas Day
only 5 reps of 225 at his pro day though. Ouch.
Quincyyyyy's highly anticipated Cowboy's MOCK of freakish small schoolers you never heard of
1. DE/DT Sean Lissemore William & Mary

Former linebacker who bulked up to become a dominant DT, who in his senior season recorded 66 tackles, 14 of which came for a loss, 6.5 sacks and 2 interceptions. It didn't stop there for him, at his pro day he ran a 4.83 (faster than any DT at the combine) and put up an impressive 36 reps on the bench. Don't be surprised if this kid goes much earlier than anyone ever expected.
2. WR Pat Simonds Colgate

Big (6'5 225 lb) WR, who ran in the 4.5's at his pro day and put up 24 reps on the bench. In the past two seasons he dominated the competition with his size, athleticism, and strength putting up 23 tds and 2,148 receiving yards. Many drafniks are labeling him as the Marques Colston of this draft.
3. DE/OLB/ILB Danny Batten South Dakota State

He is very strong for his size (6'2 245) putting up 30 reps at his pro day and running the 40 in 4.7 seconds. He played strong side DE at South Dakota State going up against tackles much bigger than him and still dominating in the run game and making plays in the passing game. Plus he has experience at linebacker. He probably projects as a strong side ILB in a 3-4, though he could be a 3rd down pass rusher as well. Basically, Danny Batten boils down to a blue collar, take your lunch pail to work, football player who will do whatever you ask of him.
4. H-back/FB/WR Jameson Konz Kent State

Konz is a freakish athlete with a 46'' vertical and 4.41 forty, while standing at 6'3.5 and 235 lbs. He has all the talent in the world, but played under bad circumstances. Switched from linebacker to H-back after his junior season, and had to deal with multiple starting QB's his senior year. He would be a nice developmental prospect who could slide into Deon Anderson's roster spot.
6. OT/OG Andrew Tyshovnytsky Fordham

Strong and athletic lineman putting up 33 reps on the bench, running a 4.9 forty, and has good size at 6'4 317 lbs. He protected John Skelton's blindside, who himself is considered one of the better QB prospects in the country and broke multiple passing records at Fordham. Tysh could project either as a guard or tackle at the next level.
7. FS Jeromy Miles UMASS

A FS with good size (6'2 210 lbs) and good speed (4.45 forty). Despite coming from a small program, he has a lot of starting experience as he started all four years at UMASS (and Navy his Freshman year) with 293 tackles 26 PBU and 9 int for his career. Moreover, he is an intelligent player, a good tackler, and most importantly a Cowboys fan!
Undrafted Free Agent WR Kelton Tindal Newberry

Extremely fast WR who ran a 4.3 forty at his pro day and registered a 39 inch vertical. Plus he has some size standing at 6'2 and 200 lbs. Unfortunately, he is extremely raw and it will take a committed team to develop him into a legit NFL WR.

Put your fingers in your ears before pressing on the link
Cowboys/Dolphins trade rumors via Phinsider
I would only do this if it didn't involve giving up picks. There are a couple of players I wouldn't mind getting rid of.

He would be a nice developmental prospect who could slide into Anderson's vacated roster spot.

The highly anticipated 32 team 7 round Mock Draft
Me and 32 other fans at MockingtheDraft, a sister SBnation site, participated in a 7 round mock with trades. Here are the results:
TRADES:
- The Titans trade the 16th pick to the Bucs for their 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th round picks
- The Falcons trade the 19th and 179 pick to the eagles for the 24th and 87th pick.
- The Colts Trade 31st and 94th picks to the Ravens for 25th and 152nd picks.
- The Cardinals Trade there 26th pick to the Raiders, The raiders get the Cards 2nd and 4th.
- The Bills send the 41 pick to the Dolphins for the 43pick and a 6th rounder.
- Atlanta trades #83 and #87 in the 3rd round and its 4th round pick for the Rams 3rd and 4th.
- The Titans trade pick #98 for Miami’s #12 and a 7th rounder
- The Jags trade there 4th round pick for Panthers 4th and 7th
|
1) St. Louis Rams - Ndamukong Suh (DT, Nebraska) - I haven't bought into the Bradford bandwagon yet. Suh just makes good sense. It's boring but that speaks to the solidarity of this choice. We're not ready to protect our QB yet. I may go QB in this draft but only for a back-up, and I severely doubt that. |
|
2) Detroit Lions - Russell Okung (OT, Oklahoma State) - The Lions have OL needs, namely at LG. This past year LT Jeff Backus did perform better as he was free from nagging injuries and the Martz scheme. But a replacement for the 34 year old Backus has been called for by Lions fans for years. Russell Okung showed up at the combine/his proday with 36" arms and performed very well in drills, strength tests, athletic tests. He solidified himself as a top 5 pick. Gerald McCoy would be an excellent pick here too, I chose him in the previous mock. McCoy had a solid showing at the combine, but his limited bench press reps and casual nature didn't help him. Is he taking it seriously enough? In addition, the Lions added DT Corey Williams, whom I strongly believe will have an impact. So DT need has diminished. The Lions choose the top blindside protector for their young franchise qb. |
|
3) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Gerald McCoy (DT, Oklahoma) - The Bucs desperately need a Defensive Tackle to improve their terrible run defence. Gerald Mccoy fits great into Raheem Morris' Tampa 2 scheme. He will be a starter right away and will be a starter for years to come. He was the best player available and the Bucs biggest need. |
|
4) Washington Redskins - Bryan Bulaga (OT, Iowa) - With LT Russell Okung off the board, the choice was between drafting FS Eric Berry or QB Sam Bradford, trading down, or reaching a bit for Bulaga. Although Berry would fill a need at FS, the Redskins can either find a FS later in the draft, or (gasp!), find a way to properly utilize the 5 safeties on the roster. The need for offensive line help, especially at LT, is far greater than the need for a QB given Jason Campbell's presence, so I reached slightly for grab Bulaga, the 2nd-best LT in the draft in my view. Bulaga is a legitimate top-10 talent with ideal height, great talent, youth (20, soon 21 years old), and great intelligence. Bulaga is also a better fit for the ZBS Shanahan is sure to install than someone like Anthony Davis, making him the pick here. |
|
5) Kansas City Chiefs - Eric Berry (S, Tennessee) - With Bulaga, Okung, and Suh all gone i had to pick BPA without reaching. Eric Berry is possibly the most talented player in the draft and fits a big need for the Chiefs. He steps in immediately and improves a struggling safety position. Should make Brandon Carr and Jarrod Page look much better |
|
6) Seattle Seahawks - Jimmy Clausen (QB, Notre Dame) - This pick was made before the Charlie Whitehurst trade (or should I say fiasco?) Clausen has worked well in a pro style offense with a shoddy offensive line. He has also played injured and while some question his character, Pete Carroll recruited him hard for the better part of a decade. If this were after the Whitehurst deal, I think I would trade back at a deep discount since I can’t see paying a 3rd string QB $5 million per year, and most of the prospects the Seahawks want are still there at 15 (where the prospects are much cheaper too). Also with two QBs on board at this point, the possibility stands that a QB will fall to 14. |
|
7) Cleveland Browns - Joe Haden (CB, Florida) - The Browns pass rusher was pretty good, but the coverage was so bad as to completely ruin the pass D. Haden is a great young corner to improve the secondary play. He didn't run well at the combine, but that's unimportant to a guy that didn't have any speed issues in college. |
|
8) Oakland Raiders - Trent Williams (OT, Oklahoma) - No secret the Raiders need lots of help along the offensive line.With Bulaga off the board and Bruce Campbell's bust potential a little too high for me to want to spend a top 10 pick on him, Williams was the natural choice. He has experience at both left and right tackle, so he can push Mario Henderson for blindside protector while at the same time be perfectly capable of being the kind of big, physical run blocker the Raiders need on the right side. He's athletic and has a lot of experience. He's a total package, in short. |
|
9) Buffalo Bills - Sam Bradford (QB, Oklahoma) - Buffalo has passed on the chance to get a franchise QB so many times since Jim Kelly that I've lost count. Every single QB since then has either been a reach, (JP Losman) a wily veteran (Drew Bledsoe) or a later round choice that the Bills hoped would be the exception to the rule (Trent Edwards). Bradford is in some peoples eyes the best QB in this draft, and when he fell to 9 I was pretty much obligated to take him. He's got a great arm, great intangibles, and if he can learn to play under center quickly and efficiently I think the kid is going to be an NFL star. Besides, how often does a guy who was supposed to go 1st overall fall into your lap at the 9th pick? |
|
10) Jacksonville Jaguars - C.J. Spiller (RB, Clemson) - It came down to Cj Spiller or Rolando Mcclain, who’ve I’ve cooled down on even though i’d love to get him. CJ Spiller is a possibilty because the league is becoming a 2 RB league and besides MJD, we don’t have much firepower that’s suited to our run you through scheme. Dez Bryant is not a viable pick because of character and positional issues. Jags would be scared away from the WR position because of past experiences and the lack of passing in our offense. We’ll go BAP and that’s why Spiller was the selection. |
|
11) Denver Broncos - Dan Williams (NT, Tennessee) - Although the Broncos made a lot of moves in FA to address short-comings along the defensive line, they cannot count on older free agents forever. By drafting Williams, they hopefully find a long-term solution for one of the most important positions on any 3-4 defense. It doesn't hurt that Williams will get to learn the ropes from Jamaal Williams, one of the better players at the position for the last decade. The pick also frees up Ronald Fields and Justin Bannan to play at their more natural DE positions, where the undersized Broncos were exposed as the 2009 season wore on. |
|
12) Miami Dolphins - Earl Thomas (S, Texas) - With Berry, Haden, Spiller, and Dan Williams all off the board before my pick, I was left with two options, trade back in the round to add a few extra picks and take and rush linebacker, or take the best player available that fills one of our 4 greatest needs (NT, OLB, FS, WR). I could not find a trade partner so I went with the latter. Earl Thomas not only fills one of our biggest needs, but he was also the best player left on my board. He should be able to start immediately in our secondary and be a huge (much needed) playmaker for the Fins for years to come. |
|
13) San Francisco 49ers - Brandon Graham (DE/OLB, Michigan) |
|
14) Seattle Seahawks - Derrick Morgan (DE, Georgia Tech) - Morgan is now a need since Pete Carroll / Schneider traded away Darryl Tapp, a young and disruptive DE. Morgan is pretty much the consensus best DE in a deep D-Line draft, and is also a good 4-3 fit (perhaps the reason he fell here). While LT is a pressing need, if your team is as bad as the Seahawks, you take the BPA. |
|
15) New York Giants - Rolando McClain (ILB, Alabama) - Best player available + one of team's needs...what more can you ask for. McClain for some reason is falling in drafts, and that plays right into the Giants hands. He's the best LB in the draft and is athletic and smart enough to be the Mike backer in the Giants scheme...whatever it may be. Big Bad Insane McClain would bring back memories of Pepper Johnson and Harry Carson...but I'll settle for Mike Barrow. |
|
16) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (From Tenn) - Dez Bryant, (WR, Oklahoma State) - Traded up into this spot for a guy who i see as one of the top 10 talents. He was the BPA and the moment and he was the Bucs biggest need. He is able to stretch the field and make all of the tough catches. Freeman passing to Dez Bryant and Winslow can be lethal. He is the reciever with the best tools to be a #1 wideout. His 08 numbers 87 receptions for 1480 yards and 19 touchdowns. |
|
17) San Francisco 49ers - Mike Iupati (OG, Idaho) |
|
18) Pittsburgh Steelers - Sean Weatherspoon (LB, Missouri) - With most of the players I wanted already gone, I went with Talkative LB to replace Farrior and too be the trash talker we've missed since JP left. Even with the recent signing of Foote this is still a good pick which can allow Timmons to move to outside and backup Wood and Harrison. |
|
19) Philadelphia Eagles (from ATL) - Jason Pierre-Paul (DE/OLB, South Florida) - With two of their top three targets already off the board the Eagles decided to trade up five spots to make sure they can get South Florida's Jason Pierre-Paul. The raw but extremely athletic Pierre-Paul finally gives the Eagles a Defensive End to compliment Trent Cole that they have been looking for a while. Pierre-Paul might start the season behind Juqua Parker but should take over the starting Left Defensive End spot by the end of the season. |
|
20) Houston Texans - Taylor Mays (S, USC) - Eugene Wilson was placed on injured reserve in the middle of the season. He has also missed 29 games in the last four years. The Texans need a big physical safety to stop Chris Johnson, MJD, and Peyton Manning twice a year. |
|
21) Cincinnati Bengals - Brian Price (DT, UCLA) - When Domata Peko went down to injury at the end of the year, our run defence collasped, which showed our huge need for d-line depth exactley what Price provides. |
|
22) New England Patriots - Sergio Kindle (DE/OLB, Texas) - The Patriots' pass rush ranged from mediocre to abysmal last season. The addition of Sergio Kindle would give the defense a more deserving boost. His performance in the BCS game rose his stock, but the kicker in this pick is his experience in the 3-4 in Texas, both at the DE and the OLB positions. However, I would project him as an OLB in the pros. |
|
23) Green Bay Packers - Anthony Davis (OT, Rugters) - Packers fans rejoice as one of the top 3 OTs manages to fall to #23. Davis has had weight concerns but was looking relatively trim at the combine. Davis has LT size and tools, pass blocking and run blocking very well. Aaron Rodgers will not be so throughly beaten up with Davis in the fold. |
|
24) Atlanta Falcons (from PHI) - Everson Griffen (DE, USC) - After spending all morning trying to trade down with teams, I finally found a taker in the Eagles, the "points" worked out perfectly, and I was able to get an extra 3rd round pick. After signing CB Dunta Robinson, our biggest holes are pass rushing DE and OLB. With fan favorites Brandon Graham and Sean Weatherspoon already off the board before my original pick, I trade down giving up DE Jean Pierre-Paul to the Eagles, before chosing Griffin over Dunlap. FYI I tried to trade #24 to the Colts for (another 3rd round pick) who traded up to #25 instead ( I left out one letter on their email, and it was returned with one min on the clock) |
|
25) Indianapolis Colts - Charles Brown (OT, USC) - The Colts gave up few sacks last year, but Peyton was pressured much more often than you would like, forcing short passes, incompetions or turnovers. A top tier pass blocker like Charles Brown at LT will give the Colts already excellent passing offense a boost, and kicking one of the current tackles inside to guard will help the Colts terrible run blocking. |
|
26) Oakland Raiders (from cardinals) - Maurkice Pouncey (C/G, Flordia) - When I saw the Cards offering their 1st rounder for a reasonable price, I jumped all over it with this precisely in mind. Pouncey is another guy the Raiders are in desperate need of. I think even as a rookie, he'd be an upgrade over either Cooper Carlisle at right guard or Samson Satele at center. He's an intelligent, good character guy who's not afraid to lead. Those kinds of men are all too rare in the Raider locker room. |
|
27) Dallas Cowboys - Jared Odrick (DE/DT, Penn State) - I took Golden Tate the last two drafts so I thought I'd try something different this time by taking Jared Odrick. Odrick is athletic and has prototypical size for a 3-4 DE, but more importantly he has a great motor. This is why I like Odrick so much, because he'll never take a play off. It should be noted though at the present time there are no holes at DE for the Cowboys. However, Marcus Spear was tendered and it doesn't look like the Cowboys have any intention of keeping him beyond this year. Plus Odrick can get penetration, and can play all three downs unlike Spears.
|
|
28) San Diego Chargers - Ryan Matthews (RB, Fresno State) - In hindsight, this pick may have needed to be a NT since the Chargers didn't get a shot at one in the 2nd round. However, the Chargers have a big hole at RB and Matthews was my top RB after Spiller. He fits what the Chargers will want him to do as long as he can hold onto the ball with his upright running style. Hopefully, the offensive upgrade of actually having a running game will substitute for upgrading the defense with something better than a rotation at NT. |
|
29) New York Jets - Devin McCourty (CB, Rutgers) |
|
30) Minnesota Vikings - Jermaine Gresham ( TE, Oklahoma) An elite player falls to the Vikings in the first round, and the Vikings draft him. While the Vikings already have one excellent pass receiving tight end, adding a second one will enhance the potency of the offense.Anytime the Vikings can add a 6'6 tight end with hands of glue and the ability to get open and get yards after the catch, we will take him. He isn't just another pass option, however. The talent of Jermaine Gresham has led some to draw comparisons to Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow, Sr.With his knee injury now fully healed, the humble Jermaine Gresham will add youth and athleticism to the Vikings at the tight end position. AsCBS Sports wrote today, "No tight end at or more than 260 pounds was faster, quicker or more explosive leaping in any drill than Gresham was at the combine." Finally, no tight end is complete without blocking ability. Here Gresham needs to hone his skill. Gresham has shown effort in blocking and can improve his technique to become a complete tight end.
|
|
31) Baltimore Ravens (From Colts)- Kyle Wilson (CB, Boise State) - Wilson fits a huge need for the Ravens. With starting CB's Fabian Washington and Lardarius Webb coming back from season ending knee injuries, depth will be crucial for this team. For the last two seasons, the Ravens have gone into the playoffs extremely slim at the CB position and Wilson should add great depth here. A physical player who excels at press coverage. Would fight for the #2 CB spot between 2 other plays. |
|
32) New Orleans Saints - Carlos Dunlap (DE, Flordia) - We felt we needed to add depth on the D-line especially after the release of Charles Grant, Carlos Dunlap is a player we feel could have been a top 10 pick under different circumstances and feel he has tremendous upside we view him in the Mold of a Mario Williams / Julius Peppers type player. We are full aware of the character concerns that caused him to drop and feel the risk reward is great enough to make this selection. |
|
|
|
2ND ROUND |
|
33. St. Louis Rams - Bruce Campbell (OT, Maryland) - It seems like it should be more difficult to get good players after drafting from the same pool of players over and over against the same guys but this is just getting easier. We got Griffen with our second pick the first time. The second time it was JPP. Now they've moved up and Campbell has dropped? For what? A good showing at the combine? We need the second bookend tackle to start long term across from Smith. Campbell is still a top O-line prospect worthy of a top half of the first round pick. I don't understand how he's dropped since the combine but I'll take him. We needed this to avoid skipping the franchise QB next year. And don't even think about telling me one won't be available. By the way Kudos to General Pug for standing in and taking heat for this pick, thanks man. |
|
34. Detroit Lions - Jahvid Best (RB, Cal) - The Lions need to address the defense, but drafts rarely fall as you'd like so I went with explosive Jahvid Best in the 2nd. He was tremendous at the combine in drills and was the fastest back there. The Lions are looking for a game breaker at RB. A back who can join Nate Burleson and capitalize on the attention paid to Calvin Johnson and take pressure off Matthew Stafford. Even before Kevin Smith's serious knee injury questions about him arose. Maurice Morris is a solid back, but there is a reason he's a lifelong #2. Best shows good vision, instincts, patience, and cutback ability when running it downhill but time will tell if he can be effective running it between the tackles. Teams have gotten smarter with how to play the Reggie Bushes, Jamaal Charles, Percy Harvins - whether that's in the slot, as 3rd down back, I-formation 1st down, split wide, wildcat - whatever. Jahvid Best's elusiveness and ability to hit the edge and take it the distance set him apart. He's a player that can bring NFL fans to the edge of their seats. His injury history is only a minor concern. The concussion was a freak play. |
|
35. Tennessee Titans (from bucs) - Jerry Hughes (DE, TCU) I picked Jerry Hughes because i think he is a dynamic pass rusher and will help fill the void left by KVB. |
|
36. Kansas City Chiefs - Golden Tate (WR, Notre Dame) - With Jerry Hughes and Maurkice Pouncey off the board i again went BPA in a position of need. Tate can play the slot and return kicks for us. I did not want to reach for Cody and didn't feel any other players were worthy to be picked this high. |
|
37. Washington Redskins - Brandon Spikes (ILB, Flordia) - One of the greatest areas of need for the Redskins is an ILB, especially with the switch to 3 - 4. Even in the 4 - 3, the Skins still needed an MLB to take over for London Fletcher when he retires, and, in the 3 - 4, the Skins need more guys to play in the middle. Spikes is an intelligent player who can play inside 3 - 4 and play the run, rush the passer, and drop back into coverage, and, with him slipping a bit into the 2nd round, he was a pretty easy pick to make. |
|
38. Cleveland Browns - Jonathan Dwyer (RB, Georgia Tech) - Dwyer is a big pounding back to take a complimentary role to the small speedster Jerome Harrison. Dwyer will need work in the passing game coming out of the triple option, but has the tools to block and catch. |
|
39. Arizona Cardinals (from raiders) - Navarro Bowman (LB, Penn State) - I went bowmen to play either weakside ILB possibly a cover LB in situations |
|
40. Seattle Seahawks - Damian Williams (WR, USC) - He’s from USC, so Pete Carroll is familiar with him, and with Detroit signing Nate Burleson, WR is a pressing need. I’d personally rather get a LT or a DT, but I wasn’t here to make the pick and it looks like all the good LTs are gone by pick 33 (unless you count Saffold or Veldheer, which I believe were overdrafted due to the run at LT). The point is moot anyways since the Seahawks traded this pick for the #60 and Whitehurst. More realistically, we would draft Alualu or Houston with pick 60. |
|
41. Miami Dolphins (from Bills) - Terrence Cody (NT, Alabama) - I decided to move up a few picks in the 2nd round to secure a NT (I gave up one of our three 6th round picks). Terrence Cody is a beast of a man. He'll clog up the middle of Miami's D and give Dansby, Wake and the rest of our LB's space to make plays. Much needed. |
|
42. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Chad Jones (S, LSU) - Chad Jones will be the replacement for Sabby Piscitelli. Piscitelli gets moved back to Special Teams and our secondary wont get burned for what seems like every game. Jones has the physical tools to succeed. Bucs have now drafted someone to fill each of their top 3 needs. |
|
43. Buffalo Bills(from dolphins - Roger Saffold (OT, Indiana) - Roger Saffold: Before I traded my pick to the Dolphins I had two options, either go for broke with Cody and then hope a franchise LT would still be there in the third or give up Cody and go with the LT I knew was already there. Part of what infulenced me was the fact that the Bills seem to be attempting to get new blood at NT via free agency, LT not so much. It seemed strange to me to have to go offense on my first two picks considering the mess that the defense has been thrust into after the 3-4 switch, but for every great QB, you'll find a great lineman keeping him on his feet. Saffold certainly isn't the best lineman available this season, but I'll take a 4 year college LT starter over a lot of the other guys out there. Saffold might need some time to sit out and learn the ropes from the coaching staff, but hey... so will Bradford. |
|
44. New England Patriots - Corey Wootton (DE, N orthWestern ) - This one happens in the event that the most attractive option on the OL (Saffold) goes before this pick comes up. Regardless, I don't think the Patriots would be satisfied with just picking one player for their defensive scheme. This is where Corey Wootton comes in. Although he played in the 4-3 system in Evanston, he has the frame and ability to play the 3-4 as well. Wootton brings similarities to Richard Seymour, except taller and slimmer. The fact that (a) he's one of the most versatile ends in the rookie class and (b) he gives it his all on every play makes him a winning pick for New England. |
|
45 . Denver Broncos - Damaryius Thomas (WR, GT) - While the initial draft plan was to land players for the offensive and defensive lines in the first two rounds, D. Thomas is too promising to pass up. Whether Brandon Marshall is traded or not, Denver needs additional play-making talent on offense. The hope is that the deceptively fast D. Thomas can help stretch the field and make it more difficult for defenses to sit on the short and mid-range routes that the Broncos offense emphasizes. Thomas is also dangerous with the ball in his hands and should be a natural fit in an offense that uses its fair share of quick slants and bubble screens. Thomas should also free up Eddie Royal to move to the slot role, which seems to be a better match for his talents. |
|
46. New York Giants - Nate Allen (FS, South Florida) - Giants signed Antrel Rolle, but while Kenny Phillips may start...who exactly knows what he's going to be coming off major surgery and IR last year?? Giants really need to cover their arses after the debacle the position was in 2009. The Giants don't seem to go with a distinct FS or SS..just 2 safeties. Nate Allen is a do it all safety who've very smart...so he could be a quick learner and may start over Phillips, who could backup both spots. |
|
47. New England Patriots - Mardy Gilyard (WR, Cincinnati) - Randy Moss' contract is coming to the near end, Wes Welker will be out of action for a good amount of time, and Julian Edelman, although impressive, is still unproven. Gilyard brings comparisons to a Desean Jackson-type, and has the highest amount of potential among this year's rookie receiving bunch. The Patriots could use a playmaker of sorts on a receiving corps that has become questionable looking. |
|
48. Carolina Panthers - Arrelious Benn (WR, Illinois) - With Muhsin Muhammad getting older the Panthers are in desperate need of a big body who can stretch the field opposite Steve Smith, but also be an effective blocker. Simply put, Benn is the best blocking WR in the 2010 draft. Both DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart like the stretch the edges of the field and aren’t afraid of running to the outside, it’s here that Benn’s ability as a blocking WR shine. |
|
49. San Francisco 49ers - Jared Veldheer (OT, Hillside College) |
|
50 . Kansas City Chiefs - Cam Thomas (NT, North Carolina) - With a desperate need to upgrade the NT and C position this was a tough choice. Cam Thomas has all the potential to be a Great NT and i believe that Crennel will make him just that. Cam will probably compete with Smith for the starting job and hopefully be the starter. |
|
51. Houston Texans -- Chris Cook (CB, Virginia) - With Dunta Robinson gone, corner is the biggest need. At 6-2, 212, Cook ran a 4.43 at the Combine, which means that he's a great player with size and speed to help stop the Colts aerial attack. |
|
52. Pittsburgh Steelers - Morgan Burnett (FS, GT) - After failing to trade up to get Nate Allen, I drafted Burnett to eventually replace Clark. And since he can also play SS next time Troy goes out he can replace Troy and maybe the secondary doesn't fall apart next time |
|
53. New England Patriots - Aaron Hernandez (TE, Flordia) - TE has now become a growing concern for the Patriots, thanks to the departures of Watson (Cleveland) and Baker (Seattle). Plus, the two TEs they have now have not seen regular season action in their careers. Hernandez can come in and make an immediate impact as a receiving TE, and can close a hole in that position. |
|
54. Cincinnati Bengals - Mike Johnson (OG, Alabama) - With Bobbie Williams on the wrong side of 30 the Bengals need someone to develop for the future at the RG spot. |
|
55. Philadelphia Eagles - Daryl Washington (OLB, Texas Christian) - Daryl Washington: Washington gives the Eagles a Linebacker that can cover a Tight End or Running Back unlike last year. Washington played MIKE Linebacker at Texas Christian but with Stewart Bradley returning the Eagles will move him to WILL Linebacker. Like Pierre-Paul, Washington might start the season behind Akeem Jordan playing special teams but if the Eagles continue to have problems with Tight Ends and Running Backs he should be starting by the midway point of the season. |
|
56. Green Bay Packers - Patrick Robinson (CB, Florida State) -Another pick with excellent value, Robinson can play receivers aggressive and physical at the line just how the Packers like it. |
|
57. Baltimore Ravens - Rob Gronkowski (TE, Arizona) - Todd Heap Jr, that is what Baltimore would call him. Gronkowski has the attitude and numbers to show he can be successful in this league and also fills a hole for the Ravens. Todd Heap was the only TE used last year, and much of his playing time was used for blocking. LJ Smith had only 2 catches this past season. Gronkowski should be able to see a good amount of playing time in a two TE system and will eventually take over for Heap. |
|
58. Arizona Cardinals - Eric Norwood (OLB, South Carolina) - Eric Norwood as a rush linebacker to get some youth in one of our biggest need areas |
|
59. Dallas Cowboys - Vladimir Ducasse (OT/OG, Massachusetts) - OT/OG Vladimir Ducasse has great size, arm length, power, and feet. He was also extremely productive and dominated the competition. Unfortunately for him that competition was Division II players. Moreover, as a recent immigrant from Haiti he is not that well developed and has poor technique. Despite all of this a lot of draftniks like Todd McShay and Scott Wright have him rated as a first day prospect based on his size and potential. And with his great work ethic and willingness to put in long hours in the film room he should live up to that potential. |
|
60. San Diego Chargers - Kareem Jackson (CB, Alabama) - I love Jackson's man to man coverage skills and on my board he actually was in the top 30, so he looks like a steal here for me. He'll compete with Antoine Cason for the starting cornerback role in 2010. Hopefully he'll develop into a sort of Darrelle Revis light where he shuts down whatever receiver he has in coverage. His lack of physicality will be tested in the NFL, but maybe that's something he can improve on. It hurts not being able to get a NT though. |
|
61. New York Jets - Jordan Shipley (WR, Texas) |
|
62. Minnesota Vikings - Amari Spievey (CB, Iowa) - Amari Spievey is a physical corner who defends against the run. He didn’t get thrown at a lot his last year at Iowa because he was dominant in Iowa's Cover-2 defense (the same zone coverage that the Vikings usually run). He has good foot speed. He ran a 4.47 40-yard dash at theCombine, despite having a chest cold. Spievey has good intangibles. A high character guy, he is an aggressive cornerback who tackles explosively, and baits the quarterback for interceptions. Spievey will bring his heart and considerable talents to the Vikings and beef up the secondary. Cornerback is a very important position, and the Vikings have a critical need there. The Vikings suffered injuries at the cornerback position in 2009 and in the playoffs. It is possible that Spievey will see a good amount of playing time in the 2010 campaign. Spievey will make the Vikings' secondary better. |
|
63. Indianapolis Colts - Ricky Sapp (DE, Clemson) - Without a pass rush from the DEs the Colts D falls apart. The Colts suffered late in the season, into the playoffs, when Freeney and/or Mathis were not 100%. The Colts don’t have another talented speed rusher to back them up, and their personnel and scheme isn’t built for the DTs and LBs to pick up a significant amount of the slack. Ricky Sapp is great value on a player to backup Freeney and Mathis and work his way into the lineup as he develops and Freeney/Mathis age. |
|
64. New Orleans Saints - Tyson Alualu (DT, Cal) - Again we capitalize on drafting a player we feel will help upgrade our D-Line, paired with Sedrick Ellis we feel will improve our interior run defense. Hard worker and no nonsense type player we feel brings an attitude to this defense.We had him as a borderline 1rst rd pick and in fact was almost the pick at 32 so we`re thrilled to get him at 64 overall. |

90. Dallas - Major Wright (S, Florida) - Major Wright is a true center fielder who can get turnovers, which is what we have been lacking with Ken Hamlin. He will have to work on his tackling technique, but Major has the speed, quickness, and hips to become a very good cover safety.

122. Dallas - Jerome Murphy (CB, South Florida) - Murphy presented good value here. He can give us some size at CB that we have lacked since Anthony Henry got traded, and he is great against the run. Plus our CB depth chart is kind of sketchy. You have Newman, who is old, Mike Jenkins, Orlando Scandrick, then Alan Ball splits time between safety and corner. Murphy can provide depth for now and will eventually compete with Scandrick to be Newman's successor.

Small school sleeper OL has a great pro day
"OL Andrew Tyshovnytsky (6-foor-4 1/4, 317 pounds), from Fordham, ran 4.91 and 4.94 seconds in the 40-yard dash, had a 28-inch vertical leap, 9-2 broad jump, 4.83 short shuttle, 7.99 cone drill, and had 33 reps in the bench press. He looked good in his position drills."
Hilarious: Tebow invited to New York for the Draft
Can't wait to watch him cry all the way to the green room when he doesn't get selected after round two ends.
Quincyyyyy's highly anticipated All Bad Boy draft
1. OT Anthony Davis Rutgers

Although one of the most talented LT prospects in the draft, he has been suspended and benched during his time at Rutgers for violating team rules and has shown less than desirable passion for the game.
2. WR Mike Williams Syracuse

Has the makings to be a stud WR, but has serious maturity issues. He was suspended in 2008 for academic misconduct, and literally quit his team half way through the 2009 season.
3. RB LeGarrette Blount Oregon

He is a big and powerful back who could allow us to unload MB3's contract. Although he is also quite immature with a poor work ethic. He did himself no favors when he sucker punched a Boise State player.
4. OT Tony Washington Abilene Christian

He did something with his sister that you are not supposed to do with family members... you know what I mean. Barf!
6. (for some reason I can't find a bad boy safety in this draft, maybe someone in the comments section knows of one?)
7. NT Abe Koroma Western Illinois

Big powerful former PSU DT who transferred schools to Western Illinois after being caught red handed with happy grass.

QB Wonderlic scores leaked
Tebow is the stupidest of the big name QBs.
Update: SB nation's MockingTheDraft 32 team mock: List of participants updated (who is the Jets rep?)
I want every participant to read the bolded section to remind ya'll of your responsibilities:
Here is how it will work. This coming weekend the 7 round draft with trades will start over the course of about two weeks. Your MAIN responsibility as a rep is to turn in a 10 pick per round best player available list before each day of mocking. I can't emphasize that enough. However, you may also attend the live draft and pick your player live. But even if you plan on attending the live draft you must turn in your BPA list, because as we have found out emergencies etc. happen. And it screws up the flow of a mock when a rep doesn't show up or send his BPA list as you can imagine.
It is really not that time consuming. You don't need to attend the live draft if you don't want to, but you do need to make sure to get those BPA lists in a day before each day of mocking.
Secondly, it is also important you keep abreast of any updates, which will be posted in the fan posts section (as is the live draft).
The reps are as follows:
49ERS-( rlott#42)
BENGALS-(patrick6h) needs backup
