[Joemailman]

I'll take New England at #22. :twisted:

As for the Packer mock, I said Kindle. I actually think there is a good chance of a trade down. That opens up all kinds of possibilities. If that happens, I think Charles Brown and Jerry Hughes enter the picture.

[RashanGary]

I'll take Philly at 24

[pbmax]

I'll take the the Browns at #7.

[ND72]

I don't know who #9 is, but that's my favorite number, so give me #9.

[Bretsky]

I'll take the Vikings

[RashanGary]

I'll take the Vikings

BOO!! :) :)

[Lurker64]

I'll take Kansas City.

[Brandon494]

I'll take the 49ers at #13 and #17. :D

[Brandon494]

I don't know who #9 is, but that's my favorite number, so give me #9.

The Bills

[ND72]

I don't know who #9 is, but that's my favorite number, so give me #9.

The Bills

sweet, I'll be the Bills....one of the many teams that could draft 1 guy at every position!

[Fritz]

I'll represent Detroit at #2.

Let me do some research on wide receivers....oh wait, Matt Millen's not GM any more.

[pbmax]

I'll represent Detroit at #2.

I'll take the Chica... er Denver Broncos.

[swede]

Steelers, please. (18, I think)

[red]

you missed a couple of possible options for ted

cj spiller
jahvid best
tim tebow (yes i'm serious)
anthony davis
charles brown
veldheer (still serious, you never know)
terrance cody
rolando mcclain
brandon spikes
jerry hughes
patrick robinson
syd'quan thompson

and i'm sure you could add a few more

the point being, we just have no clue where tt is going to go with that pick. no of us, including mocks, guessed the justin harrell pick, or the clay matthews move

True, any one of those is possible, but I went through a lot of mocks, and added the ones that Mel Kiper and other experts think TT will draft. I think the next Packer could be on our poll....or not.

[Lurker64]

I think the best way to establish the Packer pick is with a vote after we get to #23, depending on who's left on the board, and then if there isn't a clear favorite after (say) one day, do a runoff vote that includes only the serious candidates.

That is, if 9 people vote for Brandon Graham, and 8 people vote for Charles Brown, while 8 people vote for Trent Williams and 3 people vote for Bruce Campbell, and one person votes for Jerry Hughes, don't just give it to Graham since 10 people suggested an OLB while 19 people voted for a tackle. Just do a runoff for one day just between Graham, Brown, and Williams.

Ok, good idea, I'll conduct another poll when it's Green Bays turn, so we can all have input.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I think you should add a category called "No Clue."

TT surprises me with his first pick just about every year, maybe with the exception of Hawk. So I have absolutely "No Clue" what he'll do this year. Hell, if Bradford or Clausen drop to #23 I wouldn't put it past him to draft one of them.

[gbpackfan]

Don't forget to give me the 14th overall pick too. The seahawks also own that bad boy!

[Charles Woodson]

ill draft for the dolphins

cj spiller----- most likely will be gone by our pick, although if hes their i pray that TT picks him, this guy is a difference maker, ran a 4.37 i think
jahvid best
tim tebow (yes i'm serious)----wont be a first round pick
anthony davis
charles brown
veldheer (still serious, you never know)
terrance cody
rolando mcclain
brandon spikes
jerry hughes
patrick robinson---- probably wont be a first round pick either
syd'quan thompso----- wont be a first round pick

cj spiller- Will be gone by the 23rd pick
jahvid best- Could be added to the poll
tim tebow (yes i'm serious)- Really?
anthony davis- Will be gone by the 23rd pick
charles brown- Could be added to the poll
veldheer (still serious, you never know)-Would be a huge reach
terrance cody- Not worth a 1st round pick and not a position of need
rolando mcclain- Will be gone by the 23rd pick
brandon spikes- Not worth a 1st round pick and not a position of need
jerry hughes- Would love him in the 2nd round, not worth a 1st round pick
patrick robinson- Will be selected in the late 1st to early 2nd but don't think he fits our scheme, struggle a lot in zone coverage.
syd'quan thompson- Would love if we selected this guy.....in the 3rd round

You are right no one knew TT was going to draft Harrell or Matthews but both players got drafted around the pick they were projected. TT might trade down but he isn't going to reach with the 23rd pick.

it all depends on who's stuff you look at

some have spiller has a top ten, some have him dropping past us

many have bulaga has a top ten, others have him as late first round
some have iupati as top 20 while a lot don't have him in the first
some have bruce campbell in the top 10, others have him in the second
and yes i have one mag in front of me that has syd'quan thompson as a first round guy
and many places now have veldheer as the #6 or 7 tackle
jerry hughes was a first rounder when the season ended, nows he's somehow a later second round guy

we don't know, and it seems most of the so called experts don't either

oh, and many had harrell as a late first to second round guy, thats what made that pick so shocking. i only saw 1 or 2 guys that thought he would go anywhere near where we got him

[Brandon494]

That because Harrell was coming off a injury and TT took a risk which we all know didn't work out.


Your right we don't know how the draft will fall but you can tell which mock drafts actually know what they are talking about and which ones clearly don't know shit.

Spiller dropping past us? Not happening
Iupati falling out of the 1st round? Not happening
Bruce Campbell falling out of the 1st round? Not happening
Syd'quan Thompson a first round pick? Not happening

[bobblehead]

I'll take the ten pick....no clue who it is, but I'll put some research into it

[Lurker64]

I'll take the ten pick....no clue who it is, but I'll put some research into it

10 is Jacksonville.

You should draft Maxie, you know a lot about these guys, Tampa Bay is still open, they pick 3rd.

Problem is I don't know a thing about Tampa Bay. :) No matter what people say about taking the best available, there is a real element of picking-for-need that goes into the draft.

[Lurker64]

If you are completely uninformed, you can pick for the Raiders. If you're not just totally absorbed with triangle numbers, you'd probably do better at it than Al Davis.

[Freak Out]

I'll take a slot......doesn't matter where.

[3irty1]

I'll take a slot or two.

Also since this is such a deep draft I move that we do the second round too.

[red]

i'll take some if need be

where ever, who ever

[Freak Out]

Fuck it.....I'll take the Raiders.

[packrulz]

I guess I can't delete this poll, so I will have to start a new thread with a new poll when it is the Packers turn to draft, so we know who is left.

[red]

Fuck it.....I'll take the Raiders.

thats a tough one, taylor mays or bruce campbell?

[Freak Out]

Fuck it.....I'll take the Raiders.

thats a tough one, taylor mays or bruce campbell?

I have no idea...... :) I think Clausen may drop and Granny will pass on the OT and take him.

[Lurker64]

Well, we could start a new thread when people start picking, so that somebody wouldn't have to read through 2-3 pages to get to the meat of the action.

[swede]

Have we established when the mock draft will take place? I need to plan ahead a little bit in case I have to TIVO Lawrence Welk. I don't want to miss Myron Floren again.

[Joemailman]

Seems fitting that a guy who calls himself Freak Out will be playing Al Davis.

[Maxie the Taxi]

OK. I'll take the Carolina Panthers. I know something about them. Used to live in Charlotte.

[red]

Fuck it.....I'll take the Raiders.

thats a tough one, taylor mays or bruce campbell?

I have no idea...... :) I think Clausen may drop and Granny will pass on the OT and take him.

not a chance, clausen didn't even do anything at the combine.

campbell and mays are the ones that put up the freak numbers at the thing. al will pick one of those two

sounds crazy, but thats al for ya

[Freak Out]

Wait.....isn't there a crazy Serb kicker in the draft? or is he Croatian? May have to call in the UN on this one!

[packrulz]

OK. I'll take the Carolina Panthers. I know something about them. Used to live in Charlotte.
Sorry, they traded their first round pick to San Francisco for somebody. I listed the teams that are left on page one to make it easier for people to pick a team.

I'll wait. Talk is Carolina is going to trade up to get a first. :)

[packrulz]

Here's the teams that still need a GM:
N.Y. Giants
Houston
Cincinnati
Baltimore
Arizona
Dallas
San Diego
N.Y. Jets
Indy
New Orleans

[Mazzin]

I will also take San Deigo.

[packrulz]

Ok, I'll also take the Saints. Anyone else want another team?

[red]

i'll take another one or two

take your pick

[Joemailman]

I'll take the Bengals.

[Lurker64]

I'll also take Houston, I guess.

[mission]

ill take baltimore also... let's do it!

[packrulz]

I took Arizona also, all we have left are:
N.Y. Jets
Indianapolis Colts

[swede]

I'll take the Jets. Nothing like ticking off the New York fans. I'm telling you now I'm taking the best tight end available.

[Bretsky]

I'll take fill in/leftover teams if there are any. Just assign them to me if we need to.
I will also happily give up the Vikings to mngolf or Rastak if they ever show up again.

[Fritz]

I'll take the Jets. Nothing like ticking off the New York fans. I'm telling you now I'm taking the best tight end available.

Take Jeff Laga!

[Brandon494]

I'll take the Colts also....lets get this thing going!

[mission]

I'll take the Colts also....lets get this thing going!

[packrulz]

Double post

[packrulz]

The St. Louis Rams select: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma.
Bulger can't stay healthy, they need a franchise QB of the future, they also need to sell tickets.
Fritz, you're on the clock.....

[swede]

What...do you work for the Vikings Fritz? Get somebody to the podium!

[jmbarnes101]

Can we get a new thread for the actual draft with analysis? We're already on page 4 and this thing is just starting. I think it would be better for everyone reading to start anew.

[packrulz]

I'm updating page 1 with each pick, I don't want to start too many threads because I'll have to conduct another poll when it's the Packers turn to pick, including what players are left, so we can all vote on the pick.

[swede]

Can we get a new thread for the actual draft with analysis? We're already on page 4 and this thing is just starting. I think it would be better for everyone reading to start anew.

The analysis thing is a good idea. We will all be going to page one to check progress, but it would be great to be able to read a very brief summary of each player as he, or she, is chosen.

[Fritz]

Sorry for the delay, people. Martin Mayhew was on the phone with Matt Millen. He wanted to know who Millen would've taken, so Mayhew can NOT take that guy.

And so, with the second pick of the 2010 draft, the Detroit Lions take Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh.

alright

bucs take Gerald McCoy DT from Oklahoma

this is a dream come true for the bucs. rumors are they want to trade up to one of the top two spots in order to get either Suh or McCoy. in this scenario they don't have to and still get what they want (the other top player in the draft).

The bucs are in dire need of d-line help and they get a stud with this pick

other possibilities here would be russell okung and eric berry

[swede]

Those two DT's seem dreamy, but how can St. Louis pass up getting a decent quarterback? If they have already made up their mind wouldn't they be negotiating with somebody? I know I'd be afraid of passing up Reggie White II in order to pick Trent Dilfer VIII.

[mngolf19]

I'll take fill in/leftover teams if there are any. Just assign them to me if we need to.
I will also happily give up the Vikings to mngolf or Rastak if they ever show up again.

I'm never showing up again.


Oh wait... I can give it shot for MN.

st louis is in a tough spot. suh and McCoy are much better players then bradford (imo). but the rams have absolutely nothing at QB, if they can't trade down then they almost have to draft the one QB with high first round potential. the big problem is, he is a massive injury risk

i would not want to be the rams

[Joemailman]

The Washington Redskins and GM 3irty1 are on the clock.

[packrulz]

I'll take fill in/leftover teams if there are any. Just assign them to me if we need to.
I will also happily give up the Vikings to mngolf or Rastak if they ever show up again.

I'm never showing up again.


Oh wait... I can give it shot for MN.
I can give Bretsky one or two of my picks.

[3irty1]

The Redskins select QB Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame. Russell Okung is mighty tempting but the Redskins have no business passing on a franchise QB. Clausen might be the most NFL ready Jr. QB to ever enter the draft.

Lurker64 and the Kansas City Chiefs are on the clock.

[Lurker64]

Last year, the Kansas City Chiefs were 22nd in the NFL in pass defense. There are generally two ways to fix this: acquiring a pass rusher or acquiring a playmaker in the secondary.

Russell Okung is considered here, but given the improvement of Brandon Albert in the second half of the season after he was told to totally relearn the position, it's not considered a major need. The defense is missing a nose tackle, but there isn't one worth reaching for here (and this is an especially deep draft for DTs). There also isn't really a pass rusher worth considering here, though the Chiefs would be in good position to get a top guy from the second tier at the top of the second. Considering that there aren't many offensive playmakers besides Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe (who is frequently in the doghouse with the coach), Dez Bryant is considered here but ultimately rejected due to the high bust rate of first round WRs.

So the only real option left to us is to acquire a playmaker in the secondary. The Chiefs select Tennessee Safety Eric Berry who was one of the most impressive ballhawks in all of college football last year, he has the ability to run like a corner, and hit like a safety and should immediately improve the pass defense.

berry is a stud and should make KC a very happy team.

i for one am not convinced at all that clausen is a franchise qb. add him to a bad offense in washington and he'll bust out of the league in no time

i have no problem with the picks so far, but i'd shit myself if the top LT in the draft (and a damn good one at that) somehow falls out of the top five.

that just doesn't seem right to me

I'm not so sure about Clausen. Clausen is really the only QB in this draft who didn't play in a goofy spread-style offense, he actually played in a pro style offense and has made all the pro style throws. He produced with admittedly high quality talent at WR, but no running game to speak of, and a fairly mediocre offensive line. So he's a lot less of a mystery than the rest of the guys in this draft.

He's got some personality red flags (he's apparently a dick), to be true, but he's probably the most NFL ready QB in this draft and he doesn't have an injury history like Bradford. Reasonable pick for the Redskins, but I could also see them taking Okung since that offensive line is B.A.D.

Yea and their LT did just retire, I believe Okung will end up being their pick.

Brady Quinn is not worth a third round pick at this point. They could *maybe* get a fourth for him, if a team is desperate.

Sorry! Here I am...

The Seahawks are a disaster and need help everywhere. But having the best OT fall in their lap is not something they can pass up.

So, with the 6th selection in the 2010 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks select...........

RUSSELL OKUNG, OT - Oklahoma State

[packrulz]

pbmax is on the clock for Cleveland...

[pbmax]

The Cleveland Browns have an offense built for 15th century siege warfare. Stand your ground, don't move around alot and wait until you land a large bomb to score (Cribbs or Trebuchet) or settle for a stalemate and punt. With no help from the offense, the Cleveland D was the better half, but still bottom third in almost every category compared to the league. How this team won 5 games should be the subject of theological studies, not the realm of safremetricians.

Fast forward to the turn to the 19th century and Napoleon shows up in the form of the much taller, larger and Nordic Mike Holmgren. What does he do? He dumps both starting QBs, a decision few would protest. What will he do instead? He hires the perennial backup Seneca Wallace and a QB with a fork stuck in his helmet formerly known as Jake Delhomme.

So between this and his stint in Seattle, what can we tell about Mike Holmgren? One, he is clearly now suffering a brain disorder due to low Omega-3 levels (seafood is not as good in Cleveland as Seattle) and he is low on caffeine. Two, he probably isn't a good GM or Vice-President of Resurrection.

But it seems he is willing to trust his head coach on defense while taking over the reigns on offense with Gil Haskell helping to install a version of Homgren's offense. He has QB vets to run the offense, one passable RB with a pass catching backup and one WR. I am sure there is a TE on this roster but I have 6 tabs open in Opera and I am not opening a seventh this far before the draft.

So my guess is that Holmgren believes that he can build a West Coast Offense out of string, paper clips and some gum. Basically, MacGuyver it in the short term. He will therefore look to draft defensive help first, but with an eye to BPA since this roster is terrible. But I am leaning more to the former, since I do not believe Holmgren is a terribly patient GM.

The BPAs for offense might have included Jimmy Clausen who is gone and all expected OL prospects since only Okung (predictably) has been claimed and Dez Bryant. But O line is the one of the few areas of the team with any semblance of talent. Dez Bryant might be the only guy to tempt Holmgren to offense here. But we are going defense.

The secondary makes the Packers injury depleted DBs of 2009 look like the 1981 San Francisco 49ers. Or the 1983 LA Raiders. Since Berry is off the board,

"With the seventh selection of the 2010 Draft, the Cleveland Browns select Joe Haden, CB, from the University of Florida."

[swede]

"With the seventh selection of the 2010 Draft, the Cleveland Browns select Joe Haden, CB, from the University of Florida."

Are you SERIOUS! This screws up my whole BOARD! I was hoping he'd slide and I'd look smart drafting for the Steelers.

Loved your post by the way. What alternate universe is this that Holmgren is running things in Cleveland?

[bobblehead]

Ok, lets start by saying there is no way in hell the Jags pick here. They traded this years 2nd pick to draft Derrick Cox last year. They absolutely MUST get Tebow in this draft. Much like baseballs Marlins, Jacksonville is hemorrhaging money and Tebow will fill that need first and foremost. 3 touches a game in the wildcat offense equals perpetual sellouts....Tebow is bigger in florida than most packerrats are with their spouses. Trading down and acquiring picks (one to waste on Tebow) will be the end result.

BUT....since I have to make a pick.


Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
In 2009, Morgan had 12.5 sacks and 18.5 tackles for a loss. A high motor guy who lives in the backfield is just what Jack Del Rio loves....see Aaron Kampman. Morgan is the best football playing end in the draft. His measurables are solid and his production is big. He plays the run and the pass (see Kampman). He isn't an elite edge rusher, but uses his high motor and variety of moves to collapse a pocket (see Kampman).

But they signed Kampman you say! Well, they also had 14 sacks all of 2009 and AK won't solve that problem alone. Add to that, in the last 2 drafts they doubled on positions with the first 2 picks...including double failures at DE in 08. They don't seem to be afraid to throw shit at the wall until some sticks.

14 sacks last year, FOURTEEN!!!!!

I don't know jm. I don't think I can wait that long. Isn't this precisely what teacher prep times are for?

Which reminds me of a story. In High School, we ran an NFL betting pool. We ranked the games and totaled points by the ranking. So you would give your lock pick a 14 rank, next best bet 13, etc. It wasn't Vegas or the spread, but it was flat gambling for 3 years. Tiebreaker was total points in the Monday Night Game to draw out the intrigue.

In this day and age, we probably would have been arrested. Especially when they found out we had four teachers and some parents in the thing. At $5 a pop, we had some pretty nice winnings. We weren't smart enough to collect the vig though.

[jmbarnes101]

Last year the Broncos attempted a complete rebuilding job on the fly after hiring a new coach, switching to a 3-4 defense, and trading Jay Cuter for Kyle Orton and a couple of prized draft picks including the one that they will be using right here. They were much more successful than most people gave them a chance to be.

Going into the draft they are looking for a WR to replace or play with moody superstar Brandon Marshall, a backup QB who can possibly push Orton, and more help for the defense. Having acquired Brady Quinn in a deal with the new look Browns and with Bradford and Clausen off the board they can look elsewhere.

There are still a lot of directions this team could go and quality players at many positions to choose from... Bryan Baluga, Anthony Davis, Jason Pierre-Paul, Dez Bryant, and Rolando McClain. The Broncos however need one of these players more than the others though and he is actually the BPA at this spot.

With pick #11 the Denver Broncos select WR Dez Bryant from Oklahoma State.

This offense just isn't very good in the games BM doesn't play and with the trade lingering over their heads Bryant can come in and give them a chance at another #1. If the trade doens't occur they would have a new 3 Amigo's in Marshall, Bryant, and Royal. A win-win for the Broncos all the way around which would open up the field for last year's #1 K. Moreno.

first reach of the draft.....

Dez Bryant has fallen the pass few weeks to a late 1st to early 2nd round pick and looks like Demaryius Thomas of GT has taken over the top WR spot. Rolando McClain would have been a nice fit in the 3-4 defense.

Yeah man he's a beast. If he can smooth out his turns in and out of breaks he can be a bigtime #1 guy. If not, he'll be one of the scariest deep threats in the NFL and probably have a decent career as a #2-4 type of situational guy.

I don't think he has "bust" potential. Teams know what they're getting with him, plus he's a Tech kid (high character). It's just a matter of if he can run all the routes.

Bengals tip hand with workout?
Cincinnati offensive line coach Paul Alexander put Indiana offensive tackle Rodger Saffold through an intense workout during the Hoosiers' Pro Day Friday. Some throughout the league are taking it as a sign the Bengals are very high on Saffold and potentially likely to draft him.

Coaches traveling to Pro Days to work out players is hardly a newsbreaking event, but the Bengals, perhaps because they have the smallest scouting staff in the NFL, tend to rely heavily on the opinions of their coaches on draft day.

It was Paul Alexander, sources tell me, that supplied the primary argument for the team selecting Andre Smith with the sixth pick of the draft last year.

I was told of his preference before the draft, which is why I correctly predicted the Bengals would select the enigmatic blocker.

Saffold, according to sources, was very impressive in the workout.

Saffold impressed scouts throughout the season, but really stepped up his play during the week of practice at the East-West Shrine Game. I believe he would have been the best tackle at the Senior Bowl, had he been invited to Mobile.
02/25/2010 - Who's the best pass rusher you faced? "The best pass rusher I ever faced was (Wisconsin's O'Brien) Schofield. Real big speed guy. He is lighter but his inside moves were really crisp. Just being able to have that speed and have that counter speed is really beneficial to him. Did he get the one sack against you? Yes, he had the one. How many did you give up in your career? I believe it was 14, but just one in 2009. Who have you talked to? I talked to a bunch of different teams. Talk to the Jaguars, the Bills, the Colts, and a bunch of other guys. Also talk to the Dolphins, talk to the Falcons, talk to the Raiders, talk to the Chargers, and I have many more interviews tonight. You've started 41 consecutive games. Have you seen about all there is to see at left tackle? Pretty much. I haven't seen a lot of 3-4 defenses but I've been able to see a whole bunch of different things and basically I'll be preparing myself for those type of defenses once I play in the NFL. - Rodger Saffold NFL Combine Media Transcript

packrulz, where is that report from?

I have heard and read that one of the concerns now about Bryant is his attendance at classes. Presumably, that means it was spotty. Not exactly the death knell for an NFL player, but someone is floating that rumor. Its supposed to be one of the reasons he is falling.

[Lurker64]

Just so we have this on the seventh page, Charles Woodson is on the Clock for the Dolphins.

[red]

at this rate we'll be able to make our picks based on the real ones

From Rob Rang's blog on CBS.com, they mention Brayant also: http://rob-rang.blogs.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/view/13682485?tag=pageRow;pageContainer and http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1243668?tag=pageRow;pageContainer
I'd love it if TT burned a 6th rounder for Schofield.

[Charles Woodson]

Dolphins take Dan Williams, DT, Tennessee

With karlos dansby delaying the need for linebacker, and dez bryant already off the board, the Dolphins fill an aging (and suspended) position

[swede]

I saw some boards take him early, others way later.

I'm willing to second the motion and bring it up for discussion.

We probably need a 24 hour rule anyway. After 24 hours three posters in agreement can make a selection?

With the 13th pick in the NFL draft the 49ers select running back C.J. Spiller from Clemson University.

Adding a tackle to the mix helps the offense, but the unit still needs more playmakers. Spiller is as explosive as they come and has the ability to complement Frank Gore very well but also is a factor as a receiver and on special teams.

Seattle (gbpackfan) is now on the clock

[red]

Interesting. I would expect them to take the tackle first and hope to get Spiller at 17 if that's who they're looking at. Giants & Titans wont' take him unless you think Seattle would be interested. Not that you're wrong, but what was your thought process on this one knowing they have another pick 4 spots later? Unless of course you want to tell us 4 picks later when you draft their 2nd player.

I thought about that but didn't think he would last til the 17th pick, which I think Red answered that for me. :D

Besides the 49ers already have a good young LT in Joe Staley and believe they could find a RT later in the draft.

no i wanted him to last until 23

i've seen plenty of mocks that have the 49ers taking him there

i also don't hink he would last to the 17th pick. in all honesty, i'd be shocked if pete carroll passes him up with the 14th pick.

carrol made a god out of reggie bush in his system. IMO spiller = bush, but can go up the middle. i think pete's drooling over that thought

if the 49ers want him, they need to take him early.

and for that matter don't be completely shocked if the seahawks take spiller at #6

[gbpackfan]

The pick was going to be Spiller here for Seattle. But since the 49ers picked him, things get interesting. Morgan, Berry and Hayden were the other players I was considering but since they are also gone; it makes this decision easier.

Seattle's pass rush is a joke. So after addressing OT with their first pick, they go DE here. This player is still raw but has all the tools to be a perennial pro-bowler.

With the 14th pick in the NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks select..........JASON PIERRE-PAUL - DE - SOUTH FLORIDA.

[packrulz]

red is on the clock for the Giants...

Would that be Jason Pee-Pee for short?

giants take the best ILB in the draft based on need

Rolando McClain, Alabama. man is a proven winner and leader

i was also thinking about brian bulaga here. they have a decent RT that they drafted last year, and the talk is he'll move to LT this year. but that would leave a hole at RT. why not draft a real good LT and leave the other guy at RT?

yeah, theres talk about moving diehl to left guard cause he was beaten like a red head last year and replacing him with beaty

thats the story i've read in a few places, but i don't follow the giants so i don't know for sure

Maybe. :lol:

[Lurker64]

If we want to do 7 rounds, we should first:
1) Wait until compensatories are announced (any day now)
2) Wait to see how long it takes for us to figure out the Packers pick in round 1.

If it takes a while to figure out the Packer pick in round 1, where everybody knows all the prospects... think of how bad it will be in the 6th round where 50% of us know 25% of the prospects.

[MJZiggy]

I'd think it would get faster as people give up and start guessing... :lol:

[Brandon494]

Its no way we could finish a 7 round draft by the draft

[red]

no way can we go 7 rounds, it's going to take us over a week to do the first round

and those are all the players we know

by the middle of round 2 we'd be making up names

[swede]

with the 57th pick of the 2010 draft the New York Jets select Frozin Dawgcrap from the university of Eagle River.

Mel: "I think this might be a bit of a reach in the second round."

Sheboldnik: "Good thing we not step in!"

[bobblehead]

I'm just trading away all my picks for future considerations.

"According to our in-house expert Red, Dawgcrap is first cousin to current Packer guard Darryn Colledge."

[red]

yawn :wait:

[RashanGary]

No, she just likes the attention :) :)

[Mazzin]

Sorry guys, been busy, I select Carlos Dunlap D.E. Flordia...maybe a lil of a reach but no choice really, and others were takin...sorry for the rushed reply, ill comment more later.

[Brandon494]

With the 17th pick in the 2010 NFL Mock draft the 49ers select Earl Thomas from the University of the Texas.

It came down to Thomas, Bulaga, or Iupati. At the end we felt the need FS was more of a need then RT.

Earl Thomas is a ballhawk with excellent awareness on the field who covers like a cornerback and tackles like a safety. Ran a 4.44 at the combine with 21 reps on the bench 225 lbs (2 more than Berry).

Pittsburgh(swede) are now on the clock....

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Bulaga and Davis still around at 18? I could see one or the other but not both. Nobody is intentionally passing on these guys in hopes they fall to the Packers are they? :wink:


edit: I also wish I could retract my Sergio Kindle vote after seeing his underwhelming 10 yard split time.

i think that might have something to do with it. I'm seeing a lot of mocks lately that have bulaga as a top 10 pick, a couple even had him as the #5 pick

[pbmax]

Mazzin could work for the Vikings with the time she put on the clock for that pick.

[Joemailman]

I'm pretty patient, but it's been about 36 hours since the last pick. If people aren't interested, they shouldn't have signed up.

[Brandon494]

I'm pretty patient, but it's been about 36 hours since the last pick. If people aren't interested, they shouldn't have signed up.

Actually I made the last pick 4 hours ago.

Pittsburgh (swede) is now on the clock....

[swede]

The Pittsburgh Steelers need more quality and depth along their offensive line, but they also had some key losses in the defensive backfield in the off season. A safety they liked was picked at 17, so they decided to draft a big mean guard to help protect Ben Roethlisberger's butt and provide some nasty push in the interior running game.

With the 18th pick in the 2010 NFL draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select Mike Iupati, the 6'6" 330 lb guard from Idaho.

[Lurker64]

How is Bulaga still on the board?

What's wrong with us?

edit: I also wish I could retract my Sergio Kindle vote after seeing his underwhelming 10 yard split time.
I'll be conducting a new poll when it's the Packers turn to pick.

02/25/2010 - 2010 NFL COMBINE, BATTLING FOR POSITION: OT Bryan Bulaga (Iowa) / Anthony Davis (Rutgers) / Trent Williams (Oklahoma): Each team will rank Davis, Bulaga, and Williams in a different order, depending upon if they view the player as a left or right tackle for a specific offensive scheme. Williams is solid but is best suited to the strong side. Davis is agile for his size but has maturity issues and may also be best at RT. Bulaga is probably a left tackle but had a thyroid issue this season which might scare some teams from taking him in the top 10. - Chad Reuter, The Sports Xchange, NFLDraftScout.com

[packrulz]

Here's some of the top remaining players:

# Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers Rising - 6-6- 325
# Jerry Hughes, LB, TCU - 6'2- 255
# Everson Griffen, DE, USC Rising - 6'3- 280
Griffen had a big day at the combine to solidify himself as the best available hybrid defensive end/linebacker.
# Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa Falling - 6'6- 312
# Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida Falling - 6'3- 255
# Sergio Kindle, LB, Texas - 6'4- 255
# Taylor Mays, S, USC Rising - 6'3- 230
His combination of size and speed at the NFL combine was amazing, but for some reason he just did not get the job done last year at USC.
# Jonathan Dwyer, RB, Georgia Tech Falling - 6-0- 235
# Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State Rising - 5'10- 190
# Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama - 6'5- 360
# Golden Tate, WR, Notre Dame Rising - 5'11- 195
Building on his impressive season for Notre Dame, Tate ran a 4.36 at the combine to potentially sneak into the first round.
# Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois Falling - 6'2 - 220
# Trevard Lindley, CB, Kentucky Falling - 6'0- 179
# Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan Rising - 6'2- 263
# Jared Odrick, DT, Penn State Rising - 6'5- 296
# Eric Norwood, LB, South Carolina Falling - 6'1- 252
# Colt McCoy, QB Texas - 6'3- 210
McCoy's last two games of his college career--and an injury--will not help his draft stock.
# Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri Falling - 6'2- 245
# Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech - 6'3- 229
Thomas has all the physical tools to be an NFL standout, but he was part of a run-first Georgia Tech offense.
# Arthur Jones, DT, Syracuse - 6-4- 293
# Greg Hardy, DE, Mississippi Falling - 6'4- 270
# Mardy Gilyard, WR, Cincinnati Falling - 6-1- 187
Gilyard had a big day at the Senior Bowl, but it still looks like he won't make his way into the first round.
# Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State - 5'11- 194
# Ricky Sapp, LB, Clemson - 6'4- 240
# Brandon LaFell, WR, LSU Falling - 6'3- 206
# Dezmon Briscoe, WR, Kansas Falling - 6'3- 200
# Sean Lee, LB, Penn State - 6'2 - 236
# Morgan Burnett, S, Georgia Tech Falling - 6-1- 210
One of the few bright spots, along with Morgan, on a Georgia Tech defense that constantly got torched.
# Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida Rising - 6'3- 252
Cunningham was often overshadowed in the Florida defense opposite Dunlap, but he could end up being a steal.
# Navorro Bowman, LB, Penn State Falling - 6'1- 232
# Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma - 6'6- 261
Gresham missed the entire season, but he still decided to leave early and enter the draft.
# Greg Jones, LB, Michigan State - 6'1- 228
# Aaron Hernandez, TE, Florida - 6'2- 250
One of several Gators bolting early for the draft, Hernandez projects well as a solid NFL tight end.
# Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma State Rising - 6'0- 198
# Brian Price, DT, UCLA Rising - 6'2- 300
# Damian Williams, WR, USC Rising - 6'0- 190
# Corey Wootton, DE, Northwestern Rising - 6'7- 285
# Jacoby Ford, WR, Clemson Rising - 5'10- 185
Ford's stock is on the rise after running a combine-best 4.28 in the 40-yard dash.
# Jahvid Best, RB, California Rising - 5'10- 195
Best was just that among running backs at the NFL combine in the 40, running a 4.35. That will help ease the pain of an injury-plagued season at Cal.
# Rennie Curran, LB, Georgia - 5'11- 225
# Charles Brown, OT, USC - 6'5- 290
# Antonio Coleman, DE, Auburn Falling - 6'2- 260
# Maurkice Pouncey, OG, Florida Rising - 6'5- 318
# Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers Rising - 5-11- 185
# Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State Rising - 5'11- 220
# Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina - 6-3- 305
# Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama Rising - 5'11- 192
# Brandon Ghee, CB, Wake Forest Rising - 6-0- 190
# Rico McCoy, LB, Tennessee - 6'1- 220
# Selvish Capers, OT, West Virginia Rising - 6-5- 298
# Kam Chancellor, S, Virginia Falling - 6'4- 230
# Syd'Quan Thompson, CB, California - 5'9- 193
# Donovan Warren, CB, Michigan Rising - 6'0- 185
# Sam Young, OT, Notre Dame - 6'8- 330
Reportedly looked a little to slow at the Senior Bowl. That's not a good sign for an offensive tackle.
# Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford Falling - 6'1- 235
# Adam Ulatoski, OT, Texas - 6'6- 310
# Nate Allen, S, South Florida - 6-2- 205
# Jon Asamoah, OG, Illinois Rising - 6'5- 315
# Dominique Franks, CB, Oklahoma Rising - 6'0- 192
# Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona Rising - 6'5- 260
# Rodney Hudson, OG, Florida State - 6'2- 285
# DeMarco Murray, RB, Oklahoma Falling - 6'1- 214
# Chris Cook, CB, Virginia Rising - 6-2- 210
# Dexter McCluster, WR, Mississippi Falling - 5'8- 165
McCluster ran a rather disappointing (by his standards) 4.58 in the 40-yard dash, but he was awesome in agility drills so his stock won't be damaged too much.
# Freddie Barnes, WR, Bowling Green Rising - 6'0- 206
Barnes had an awesome season for Bowling Green and NFL teams will not soon forget his performance in the Humanitarian Bowl.
# Daryl Washington, LB, TCU Rising - 6'3- 234
Not only was he outstanding for TCU's dominant defense, but Washington also astounded at the Senior Bowl.
# Charles Scott, RB, LSU Falling - 6'0- 233
# Jason Worilds, DE, Virginia Tech - 6'1- 254
# Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana Rising - 6'5- 318
# Pat Angerer, LB, Iowa - 6'1- 235
# Tim Tebow, QB, Florida Falling - 6'3- 245
Tebow has been doing OK in offseason workouts, but it is looking more and more like he will not be a first or second-rounder.
# Ciron Black, OT, LSU Falling - 6'5- 322
# Jared Veldheer, OT, Hillsdale Rising
# Willie Young, LB, Florida State - 6'4- 250
# Jevan Snead, QB, Mississippi Falling - 6'3- 218
# Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama Falling - 5'9- 195
Arenas had a big year for undefeated Alabama, but size is a question mark at the next level.
# Myron Rolle, S, Florida State - 6'2- 218
Rolle's combination of on-the-field and off-the-field talents is as good as it gets.

Atlanta Falcons - 19

OLB Sean Weatherspoon, Missouri
Previously it was a lock the Falcons would take a CB, but with a few key FA acquisitions, the Falcons positioned themselves with a lot more draft flexibility. Although Weatherspoon played ILB at Mizzou, he's projected as an OLB at the next level with great measurables and a knack for always being around the ball. Word in Atlanta is that his interviews went extremely well with the team and both sides seem to be excited about joining forces. Mike Peterson, the Falcons current OLB is now 34 years old and the team will be looking to the future.

Houston (Lurker 64) is on the clock.

Looks like we're going to get to the Packers pick this morning!!

[Brandon494]

It still amazes me how loaded this draft is. If TT get an offer to trade down I think he has to take it to pick up another pick or two unless someone he really likes falls to 23rd.

I think if Anthony Davis and Bulaga are still on the board when TT picks I'll pee my pants, I just don't see them dropping this far.

It could happen, no one saw Rodgers falling to us with the 24th pick.

i would try and hold off on the piss party if i were you

i think its safe to say that myself and bretsky were both peeing our pants when robert meachem was available when we picked

we took harrell, and meachen hasn't been that great so far

Maybe, but in the real draft there is a good possibility that Davis and Bulaga will be drafted in the top 10.

[Brandon494]

Its no doubt Bulaga will be a top 10-15 pick, but Davis has a chance to fall to us.

The Houston Texans have one major hurdle to overcome before people will take them seriously: beat Peyton Manning. They're a talented team, and it's not their fault that they ended up in a division with quite possibly the best quarterback of all time. Last year, they got very close on two occasions, and this roster is so talented that you have to start wondering whether the problem is coaching. I can't draft a coach here, so that's out.

Dunta Robinson's departure seems to be a crushing blow to the pass defense, as the Houston secondary doesn't have a lot of playmakers anyway. So Boise State's Kyle Wilson, the consensus #2 CB, is strongly considered here. I mean, after all, the man has his own RV:

http://media.idahostatesman.com/smedia/2009/09/03/08/0903-online-wilsonbus1.standalone.prod_affiliate.36.jpg

However, Wilson doesn't seem to be to be capable of greatness, simply "very goodness", and "very goodness" isn't going to put the Texans over the hump.

Instead, the thing that the Texans are really missing is a big back. Steve Slaton had a good rookie season, but an underwhelming sophomore season, in part because he is tiny and frail and if you ask him to carry the load, he will snap like a twig. They tried to get a big back to carry the load a few years back, when they poached Ahman Green from the Packers, and the result of that is a policy to not sign backs over 30 anymore. Furthermore, while the Texans have a dynamic passing attack, capable of scoring a lot of points, the thing to stop P. Manning is to keep him off the field.

So to that end, the Texans select the best all-purpose running back in the draft, Fresno State's Ryan Matthews

Edit: Sorry about the lateness of this, I typed this up this morning, and then forgot to hit the "submit" button.

joemailman is on the clock...

[Joemailman]

In the real world, Cincy would be looking to trade with someone looking to move up to draft Bulaga. That is not possible here. Some would say that the Bengals would have no interest in Bulaga since they are set at OT with Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith. However, some feel that Smith would actually be better at Guard, as was the case with Leonard Davis.

Therefore, the Cincinnati Bengals select the nearly undisputed best player available, and that is Brian Bulaga, OT Iowa.

[Joemailman]

The New England Patriots need a pass rush. Adalius Thomas has been a big disappointment in the hybrid DE/OLB role. Last year Belichick could have had Clay Matthews, but made the trade with the Packers. Not this time.

The New England Patriots select Brandon Graham, DE/OLB Michigan

The Green Bay Packers :pack: :cow: :pack: are on the clock.

[Fred's Slacks]

Wow, three players I really like going right before our pick. I thought we'd actually have a shot at Graham and Mathews. To me its a tough call between Davis and Mays.

[Lurker64]

With the way the board looks right now, I think the Packers only reasonable choices are:

Anthony Davis (highest ceiling of any OT available)
Charles Brown (best ZBS OT available)
Kyle Wilson (best CB available)
Jerry Hughes (best pass rushing OLB available)
Taylor Mays (best S available).

Someone like Jahvid Best could be a dark horse, but I think it's down to those five.

Interestingly enough, everybody by Mays, Kindle, and Pouncey from the initial poll has been picked.

I like Brown but I don't think I'd take him over Davis.
I don't really know much about Wilson, as I haven't looked at Corners very closely.
I've stated in another thread how I don't think Hughes gives us enough of an upgrade over Jones to take him at 23.

So that leaves Davis and Mays. Both excellent prospects. Both have bust potential. I like our chances better with Mays' attitude plus I have a lot more faith in Darren Perry then Campen. So even though I said Davis was a no-brainer in another thread, I actually think I'd take Mays (and hope like hell we can get Saffold, Veldheer or Tony Washington later).

[RashanGary]

Geeze, I don't love any of the guys here. This is the point, I'd hope for a Ted special.

[Brandon494]

Its no way the Bengals would take a OT with their 1st pick after taking Andre Smith last season. Even if they thought he could be moved to guard they have other positions of need they would have addressed before taking Bulaga. I believe they would have taken DT Brian Price, TE Jermaine Gresham, or S Taylor Mays in that spot. Doesn't really matter though since Bulaga would never fall this far in the draft.

Anyway here are the players we are looking at.....

Kyle Wilson-
All-out playmaker. Excellent balance, footwork, instincts and overall coordination. Very good speed with fluid hips. Solid tackler. Excellent return man. Great press and off-coverage corner. Questionable size. Graded out very well during the Senior Bowl.

Athony Davis-
Great strength, size and length with long arms. Excellent footwork with very good quickness and agility for a man his size (6'6" 330lbs). Plays with very good balance while displaying tenacity and power. Keeps his feet moving and is a very good run blocker. Has played on a solid offensive line throughout college and he has been the anchor. Inconsistent technique and questionable work ethic and character. Ran a 5.38 at the combine with 21 reps on the bench (225 lbs).

Jerry Hughes-
Great tackler, very good instincts, creates fumbles, changes directions well, can chase down the quarterback in the backfield, gets low under the pads and uses a bullrush. Undersized, will need to switch to outside linebacker, trouble defending the run at him, needs to learn more pass rush moves.

Taylor Mays-
Big-time hitter who welcomes contact. Very good in run support and plays like a LB near the line of scrimmage - has LB size. Tall, athletic, powerful and extremely physical. Liability in the pass game - has tight hips, takes poor angles and has limited ball skills. More of an athlete than a football player. Ran an impressive 4.43 at the combine with 24 reps on the bench (225 lbs).

Honestly each one of these players would improve our team but I think Kyle Wilson is the best choice here. Charles Woodson is not getting any younger and we have no idea what type of player Al Harris will be when he comes back from ACL injury at the age of 35. Tramon Williams is a good player but after that we really have no one at CB that is proven. Kyle Wilson would also improve our kick returning game that was one of the worst in the league last season.

[Fred's Slacks]

I feel like my wife picking an outfit...I keep changing my mind.

We've needed a true LT prospect for too long and Davis is too good to pass at this point. I don't believe he will be available at 23 when this thing is for real but if he is (and Bulaga isn't), then he's gotta be the pick.

Yea but he has character issues which TT is big on. I agree it would be hard to pass on his talent but I don't want some fat slub who only cares about getting his money. I want a football player.

I was really close to making Mays the pick here, but felt Bulaga was too good to pass up. Figure they can get a guy like Morgan Burnett or Nate Allen in Round 2. Gresham would have been a reach.

Agreed, I could see them passing on Campell and Davis even Trent Wiliams but Bulaga is too good to pass at that point IMO.

This post, and the one before it are exactly what I'm thinking, almost word for word, strangely.


I'm with Kyle Wilson too. He's another guy I see as a great player. Getting a star corner does not hurt this team, especially when he also happens to be one of the best returners in this draft class. Actually, it's one of our greatest needs. Now we're an OT some pass rush and safety depth or starter away from filling our biggest needs.

I like Hughes too, I just have such a hard time projecting a DE into OLB. Just what I know, I think Wilson is the safer pick and still loaded with upside.

Woodson, Williams, Wilson. . . Yeah. I feel good about the present and future of that group. Didn't feel that way before the pick so it's a big pick up for us.

I haven't heard much about the character issues. But offensive line is a spot on the team which requires its own chemistry. Perhaps one of the reasons Jamon Meredith is no longer here is that he wasn't making any progress as a team mate.

Keeping it real, I know we're only talking about a Packerrats mock, but if a guy is kind of a me first person and he drops further in the draft than he expected the Crabtree effect may cause that player to be a distracting holdout.

Great. Now I hate Davis. Selfish holdout bastard.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I love Kris Wilson. The kid is a real playmaker. Great corner and even has return skills to add to the package. Every time I've watched Boise in the last two seasons Wilson always stood out. He'd be my pick all the way, followed by Hughes, Davis, and Pouncey.

[red]

i think if i'm TT and the draft happens like this one, i'm on the phone right now desperately trying to trade down

davis is the best guy on the board i'm very worried about his motor or lack there-of, and his desire

hughes could be awesome, but i'm also worried about him having to lern a whole new position

charles brown might be nice, but he'd be a bit of a project, which is fine for us with both tackles returning. but why spend a first round pick on a project when you can spend a 2nd or 3rd or the project OT

kyle wilson is all over the place on boards. some have in as the #2 cb, others have him as far down as the 8th best (lindy's). no guarantee TT has him that high. he is kind of short at 5'10

pouncey might be nice, but i'm worried about any player that comes out of Florida. they seem to have a high bust rate

maybe earl thomas. he's either a corner or safety. no one knows. he's also somewhat short

sergio kindle i think would be a good pick, but people on here now hate him because of a low 10 second split :roll:

jahvid best would be a real nice addition IMO. but would TT go for a running back that high?

mays is a bigger faster version of bigby. he won't get INT's, he'll miss some assignments and tackles, but he'll get a handfull of huge hits a year that make most of us creme our pants thinking he's a minor god. why spend a 1st on a minor upgrade over a guy already on the roster?

other the best i'm not really excited about anyone left, but also wouldnn't be upset with any of those listed really

[Joemailman]

Davis has had some minor character problems.
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1272306?tag=playerRatings;players

Intangibles: Davis' competitive fire and effort have not been as consistent as you'd like for a top prospect. Suspended one game for violating team rules in 2008. Benched for a quarter (but had to report earlier due to injury) against Army in October 2009 because he missed a team meeting. Has had issues maintaining weight, even being demoted to second team before his senior year for reporting overweight. Came to Rutgers as a 363-pound freshman.

i've heard that about him too. he doesn't try to hard off the field to make himself better. doesn't lift or workout. he's missed team meetings, he was way over weight and didn't try to lose it and i think got demoted for it, etc. fom the sounds of it he's not a bad guy, but very immature

but on the plus side, he's damn good. imagine how good he might be if he got his shit straight

but all the info is supplied by NFLDraftScout.com, including the rankings

probably the best site anywhere for finding info on the guys

their online site has moved him up to #3 since the combine. funny because he didn't workout at the combine

i got another negative for anthony davis

he skipped his pro day.

scouts and players showed up at the rutgers pro day just to see him and he never showed. scouts had to call him out of bed to get him to come down and talk with them. agent later said he skipped it because he was sick and agent said he made it known the night before that davis would not be there. no scouts got the call

agent later said it was a hamstring injury that kept him away

guy seems a lot like andre smith from last year

Definitely sounds like the kind of guy that TT will take a pass on. Especially in a year where there is no shortage of OT talent.

[jmbarnes101]

I was really hoping Brandon Graham would fall to us. Honestly, that is the guy in this draft (picking at 23) that I hope we get. Beyond that I'm just going to be happy with whomever TT and the scouting department has decided should be on this team. Under the old regime I wouldn't have felt that way but I have trust in the management of our favorite team. I was upset about Fergy over Chambers when it happened and I'm still upset about it now.

Honestly, if this is what is left I wouldn't be at all surprised if TT traded down out of the first round and picked up multiple picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

[packrulz]

Heads up guys and gals, the 2010 Mock Draft thread is posted up, hopefully I included all the top remaining candidates. Do some research and vote for the best one for the Packers! I'll wait a couple days for everyone to vote.

this is a year it seems to make a ton of sense to trade ten or so picks down. when you get to twenty four unless somebody falls most of the next group of players seem the same. Trade down and pickup Hughes......I'd be all about that :!:

the problem is, what if everyone else thinks the same way

in these times its probably easier to find a way to trade up then trade down

[swede]

I'll take New England at #22. :twisted:

As for the Packer mock, I said Kindle. I actually think there is a good chance of a trade down. That opens up all kinds of possibilities. If that happens, I think Charles Brown and Jerry Hughes enter the picture.

I didn't get the joke about why picking at 22 was evil until now.

Having Bulaga and Graham get picked off at 21 and 22 provided some fireworks.

[Mazzin]

Gunny, my only problem with it is I don't like A. Davis, I would be happier with Charles Brown, in the nfl you can always ADD weight. But Davis on the other hand, who knows if when he gets paid he dosen't turn into a 400 lbs. p.o.s. and just eat up a roster spot along with his burgers.

[RashanGary]

Since he's not in the consideration for the Packer pick, I'm putting my pick in early. I'm drafting Tyson Alualu from Cal. He played 3-4 DE, but can really play anywhere on the line other than NT. He had more sacks than Suh, McCoy, Oderick and Price. He's a 6'3" polynesian that weighs a lean, mean 295 lbs. Not only has been the most productive DT prospect, he also has be best 3-cone (agility), 10-yard split (burst) and vertical jump (explosion) of any prospect. Not only that, but the guy is a certifiable great guy. He's thoroughly entrenched in polynesian culture. He's incredibly loyal to both is family and now the team he plays for. He knows hard work is the means to the end he wants in life. Oh yeah, and he's a bit of an iron man, starting 3 years in a row without injury.

More I think about it, I would have taken him with the Packers pick over Wilson. But since I don't get autonomous power in here, I'll have to settle for autonomous power over my fantasy mock draft team. The Eagles take Alualu and he's going to dominate.
