Mock Drafts

[Mike]

I am hoping that we don't have to start the draft talk in ernest before the regular season ends. That is so freakin' depressing. I am hoping and praying we are discussing how we are going to make the playoffs, and win our first playoff game, rather than where we are drafting.

Dude, we could have a record of 16-0 and I will have already been talking about the draft for months, it's what I do.

Another mock, this one from NFLDraftBlitz.

In the subscription side this is a 7 rounder. They did this last week and we were picking 6th due to our position in the ESPN power ranking.

They have us taking:
1 Chris Beanie Wells (RB) – Ohio State
2 Nic Harris (S)-Oklahoma
3 Dannell Ellerbe (LB)-Georgia
4 Andy Levitre (OG)-Oregon State
5 Curtis Taylor (S)-LSU
6 Ryan McDonald (C)-Illinois
7 Jon Cooper (C)-Oklahoma


Not a bad effort but not my favorite either. It's early.

I would like a trade down, Philly has 2 first round picks IIRC. That could give us two guys, William Moore (S) Missouri , Greg Middleton (DE)-Indiana perhaps?

If I am picking for us at #6 I am looking real hard at Duke Robinson (OG) Oklahoma.

Check out the 1st round, or the entire mock if you can.

lots can change before draft, and I like best available at pick, a trade down would be okay if we were that high, but I'd be leaning toward mostly defense a lot if draft were coming up soon.

I agree, not bad, but not my fav either. There are 4 things I want done before next year, either during the draft, or in FA, (this is after we have fired DC Richard Smith, and demoted Bobbie Grier) - (1) Get a complementary RB to Slaton, (2) draft a Mike LB so DeMeco can move to his natural Will position, (3) draft another CB/S, & (4) get a natural passrusher on that right side of the defense. Now I am not saying in which order I would like this done, or whether it be by draft of FA, but get Good Solid Types to fill a defense that has been consistantly underachieving under Smith.

Time for another mock, this is from the end of October, from newsportdraft.com. This is a 5 rounder.

They have us picking #12.

2. Detroit Lions – Ciron Black, OT, LSU

3. St. Louis Rams – Percy Harvin, WR, Florida

4. San Francisco 49ers – Matt Stafford, QB, Georgia

5. Miami Dolphins – Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech

6. Atlanta Falcons – Ray Maualuga, LB, USC

7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Tim Tebow, QB, Florida

8. Kansas City Chiefs – Andre Smith, OT, Alabama

9. Cincinnati Bengals – Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State

10. New York Jets – James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State

11. Seattle Seahawks – Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
12. Houston Texans – Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
13. Chicago Bears – Curtis Painter, QB, Purdue

44. Houston Texans – Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest

139. Houston Texans – Eric Peterman, WR, Northwestern


Not a great one, but not bad.

My cherry pick:
I can see where we need a stud CB and Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
would be one of the best to come out last year, so getting him at #12 would be sweet. We could let Reeves go, giving us a nice young set of CB. Dunta, Bennett,and Molden added to Jenkins.

In the 2nd, I like the pick of Curry, but they have Duke Robinson, OG, Oklahoma dropping and I have him as a 1st rounder, so he is my pick.

3rd round I want to go defense but Javarris James, RB, Miami and Graham Harrell, QB, Texas Tech are there, so I am going James, adding him to Slaton should make our RBs a little more stable.

4th round, I need defense, Maurice Evans, DE, Penn St.

5th round, Janthan Luigs, C, Arkansas, I do not see this guy lasting to the 5th, so this is a no brainer for me. I still need a safety and I missed that, but this is not a bad draft.
