2007 NFL Mock Draft
By: Robert Davis | Updated: 3/5

First Round

1. Oakland - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
The talent and potential is too much for Al Davis to pass on.

2. Detroit - Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin
Put on a show at the combine, improving his stock, even though he was already the favorite at this spot.

3. Cleveland - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
With Thomas off the board, the pick is easy. They need a ground game to compliment the pass catchers in Winslow and Edwards.

4. Tampa Bay - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
A freak and the best player in the draft. A steal at this point.

5. Arizona - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
The Cards will try to move up for Thomas but the price will be extremely high and probably too much.

6. Washington - Alan Branch, DT, Michigan
Anderson may get some consideration, but the Skins take the wide body to plug the middle.

7. Minnesota - Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
His pass rush ability would be a welcomed addition.

8. Houston - LaRon Landry, S, LSU
Blew up at the combines and cemented himself as the top safety in the draft.

9. Miami - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
A steal at this point, and with the uncertainty around Culpepper, the Phins may need to take a QB.

10. Atlanta - Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
Great player now, and isn’t even 20 yet.

11. San Francisco - Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska
Too high at this point, but the defensive line has to be addressed.

12. Buffalo - Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
Clements is gone and they have to find someone to fill in immediately.

13. St. Louis - Pat Willis, LB, Ole Miss
Stud linebacker could play strong side or mike.

14. Carolina - Reggie Nelson, S, Florida
Stud ballhawk would be great in deep coverage.

15. Pittsburgh - Paul Posluszny, LB, Penn St.
With the release of Porter, the Steelers could use a boost to the LB corp.

16. Green Bay - Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
His combine performance may have pushed him ahead of Jarrett and Ginn.

17. Jacksonville - Ted Ginn, WR, Ohio St.
His speed would add another element to the offense.

18. Cincinnati - Greg Olsen, TE, Miami
Combine performance has him soaring up the boards and a big target over the middle would only open things up more for the rest of the offense.

19. Tennessee - Darrelle Revis, CB, Pitt
Could be the first corner taken if he works out well at the Pitt pro day.

20. N.Y. Giants - Levi Brown, OT, Penn St.
An upgrade at tackle needs to be found, and Brown is excellent value at this point.

21. Denver - Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal
Lynch could flourish in the Denver offense.

22. Dallas - Brandon Meriweather, S, Miami
Could form the best safety duo in the NFL.

23. Kansas City - Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC
The Chiefs finally land a go to target.

24. New England (from Sea) - Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas
The signing of Adalius Thomas addressed the biggest need, but you can never have enough secondary help.

25. N.Y. Jets - DeMarcus Tyler, DT, North Carolina St.
Tyler has the frame and strength to develop into a nose tackle.

26. Philadelphia - Jon Beason, LB, Miami
Solid showing at the combine coupled with some lesser performances by other LBs may have moved Beason into the first.

27. New Orleans - Aaron Ross, CB, Texas
The Saints must address their secondary if they want to take the next step.

28. New England - Michael Griffin, S, Texas
The upgrade of the defense continues.

29. Baltimore - Justin Blalock, OL, Texas
Would come in and immediately upgrade the interior OL.

30. San Diego - David Harris, LB, Michigan
Surprised some with his footspeed in Indy and has now moved into the #2 ILB spot.

31. Chicago - Tony Ugoh, OT, Arkansas
Fred Miller is aging, and whoever the QB is will need to be protected.

32. Indianapolis - Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida St.


Second Round

1. Oakland - Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan
2. Detroit - Victor Abiamiri, DE, Notre Dame
3. Tampa Bay - Quinn Pitcock, DT, Ohio St.
4. Cleveland - Arron Sears, OL, Tennessee
5. N.Y. Jets (from Was) - Marcus McCauley, CB, Fresno St.
6. Arizona - Doug Free, OT, N. Illinois
7. Houston - James Marten, OT, Boston College
8. Miami - Earl Everett, LB, Florida
9. Minnesota - Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
10. San Francisco - Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina
11. Buffalo - Brandon Siler, LB, Florida
12. Atlanta - Eric Weddle, S, Utah
13. Carolina - HB Blades, LB, Pitt
14. Pittsburgh - Ryan Kalil, C, USC
15. Green Bay - Eric Wright, CB, UNLV
16. Jacksonville - Rufus Alexander, LB, Oklahoma
17. Cincinnati - Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee
18. Tennessee - Tanard Jackson, CB, Syracuse
19. N.Y. Giants - Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn
20. St. Louis - Brandon Mebane, DT, Cal
21. Dallas - Ben Grubbs, OL, Auburn
22. Kansas City - Kareem Brown, DT, Miami
23. Seattle - Josh Beekman, OL, Boston College
24. Denver - Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida
25. Philadelphia - Jason Hill, WR, Washington St.
26. New Orleans - Buster Davis, LB, Florida St.
27. N.Y. Jets - Michael Bush, RB, Louisville
28. New England - Brian Leonard, RB/FB, Rutgers
29. Baltimore - LaMarr Woodley, DE/LB, Michigan
30. San Diego - Sabby Piscitelli, S, Oregon St.
31. Chicago - Zach Miller, TE, Arizona St.
32. Tampa Bay (from Ind) - Quentin Moses, DE, Georgia

Meacham is an exciting prospect and might make some people here forget Javon Walker. I'm not sure TT would pass up Irons if he were available in the 2nd round.

Change the 2nd round pick to Kenny Irons and... :glug: :glug:

I think, now, Meachem is my most wanted player. He's really grown on me.

If Meachem could be Walker type talent, I have no problem drafting him over trading for Moss... the only problem is if he doesn't develop quicker than J-Walk did, Favre will be gone before he's a contributor.

Personally, I'm hoping that at least one of our first two round picks goes to a defensive player, as it seems like our defense is a player or two and some chemistry away from being a special unit. But it's all a question of who drops, and where TT has guys ranked. Who knows? At least the mocks have us taking different guys every week as opposed to before the combine.

I agree, I have no problem drafting a WR instead of getting Moss, I just want one that can contribute now.

No thanks to Meachem, I like him as a prospect but not at th 16 spot. If the Packers were going to pick up a WR in the first that could make an immidiate impact I would rather it be Ginn. Yes Ginn, he's fast and is the deep threat the GB truely lacks, and along with his return skills it makes him a perfect pick for the Packers at 16 if they're looking to pursue a WR. I'd still rather see Lynch at the 16 spot mainly because he's a great back, but also because Green is gone and we haven't addressed the position yet, and it looks as though the Packers are only pursuing mediocre backs in FA this year, Lynch would be my pick there. But I'm sure you already know that.

IMO Meacham is just as good of a long term prospect as Ginn is. What Ginn immediately gives us is the return ability. I'm in the middle on him as a WR, but we know we'll get the special help.

Meacham IMO will be a better pro WR and he's what we need. A bigger guy who can go up and traffic and pull the ball down with legitimate speed.

Personally I'd take Meacham over Ginn, but I think they are very close.

I'd be surprised if we took either over Lynch though; Lynch would almost seem to be a need pick. I know I know...TT does not draft for need.....but the RB's are falling off and even TT knows Morency isn't a #1 RB
