If I understand the rules correctly, I don't think Okam has lost his practice squad eligibility. He was active for six games last year and listed as inactive for the other ten, which would easily constitue an accrued season. But since he was active in fewer than nine games in his only accrued season, he should still be eligible. |

I don't like the fact that Peria Jerry will be 25 years old before the season starts.

New CMD today, 4/8/09, and I haven't done one in awhile, and gosh-darn it, they're just too much fun.
1. Clay Matthews. I'm assuming that since it's been denied and the original rumor un-substantiated, that there was no positive for steriods. 2. Darius Butler. I've come to believe he is the best overall CB in the draft. 3. Rashad Jennings. Big and pretty fast. 4. Michael Hamlin. Good call DrafTek. 4. Zack Follett. I know I've got Matthews, but I'm really surprised he's available here. Very good blitzer. Has played inside and should be able to play all 3 positions. Also like Tyronne Greene and Brandon Williams. 5. Sebastian Vollmer. I really want this guy. Watch his Shrine Game working against Sidbury. 6. Roy Miller. DrafTek actually has him available at our pick in the 7th round, but I wouldn't want to take the chance. 7. Ian Johnson or Devin Moore. This version of CMD has neither drafted, while earlier versions have had both going as high as the 6th, I believe. I think both will probably be drafted. I know more about Johnson. Moore has the elite speed. |

- I now have him 3rd overall on my draft board. 2. SS William Moore Missouri - Still looking for our Bob Sanders. (I can't believe that the Mock has Darius Butler available in the 2nd round. Most sites have him moving up in the 1st). 3. CB Asher Allen Georgia - This is where I'm probably going to catch some flack. I'm souring on Dunta Robinson's situation and Jacoby Jones' attitude, so I get rid of two birds with one stone. As some of you know, I'm a big Bulldogs fan and try to draft one whenever possible. I'm not a big fan of late round CBs chances of making the roster compared to late round RBs. However, I would understand the Jennings pick even if I wouldn't make it. 4. DE Cody Brown Connecticut - My favorite "pass-rushing" specialist in the draft and I got him! This is the round that I feel comfortable picking a guy who is only going to play on passing situations. He's 'small' at 6' 2" & 244lbs and he isn't Raheem Brock quick, but he gets after the QB. 4. FS Chris Clemons Clemson - This looks like a reach on most mock drafts, but I don't care. I want a guy who can roam and break up those deep passes. The only way CBs feel comfortable to make a play on a ball is if they KNOW that they have help over the top. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/502303 "Overshadowed throughout his career by teammate Michael Hamlin, Clemons' consistency in coverage might actually make him the safer NFL prospect." Did I mention he ran a 4.3??? 5. RB Javarris Williams Tenn State - You didn't think that I forgot about Slaton, did you? We need and want a pile-pusher, and that's what this guy is. He won't dance behind the LOS, he's going to make his cut and go. 6. DT Roy Miller Texas - Yeah, I'm not waiting until the 7th round either. 7. RB Ian Johnson Boise State - Another quick guy in case Slaton gets hurt.

I certainly agree with your dis-belief of Butler being there in the 2nd. And, yes, what the flack is up with that 3rd round pick? I'm real curious to see what DrafTek's mock will look like in two weeks. We should have a competition or something based on it.

Let me just expand a little bit. Asher not only has good cover skills which is a must for a CB, but he also brings some tackling ability. If we can't reach a resolution with Dunta, then we are going to have to replace his ability to make tackles from the CB position. Nothing aggravates me more than a CB who believes that if his WR responsibility doesn't have the ball thrown in his direction, then his job is complete. I like having 11 players on defense who can bring down a ball carrier, not 9 or 8.
Secondly, he brings something to Special Teams in terms of return skills. He has good vision and gets up the field to gain positive yardage.

on 4/13 DraftTek has us taking
15 Jeremy Maclin WRF Missouri 46 Sean Smith FS Utah 77 Herman Johnson OG LSU 112 Javon Ringer RBF Michigan State 122 Keenan Lewis CB Oregon St 152 Emanuel Cook SS South Carolina 188 Bear Pascoe TE Fresno St 223 Lydon Murtha OT Nebraska If I was going to do this I would go: 15 Donald Brown RBF Connecticut 46 Alphonso Smith CB Wake Forest 77 Chip Vaughn SS Wake Forest 112 Zack Follett OLB43 California 122 Kaluka Maiava OLB43 USC 152 Michael Bennett DE43 Texas A&M 188 Ryan Purvis TE Boston College 223 Lydon Murtha OT Nebraska The more mocks that are run the less options I see from 15, and almost no one I want until the late 1st.

DT Roy Miller Texas 223. OT Lydon Murtha Nebraska I'm happy that I've upgraded the Secondary and I've put two more bodies on the DLine. At #15, I'm confident that I grabbed a player that will produce and has a history of doing so. I'm not happy about the fact that I did not get a LB or a situational pass rusher. The best I can hope for is that I'll be able to get DE Pierre Walters and LB Robert Francois as UDFAs.

15. WR Jeremy Maclin Missouri 46. S William Moore Missouri 77. S Chip Vaughn Wake Forest 112. CB Keenan Lewis Oregon St 122. DT Corvey Irvin Georgia 152. TE John Phillips Virginia 188. RB Javarris Williams Tenn State 223. DE Victor Butler Oregon St Lydon Murtha has moved up on DraftTek, they now have him going #204 to Arizona in the 6th round. In the 7th, I considered Stephen Hodge to play WILL, but since I didnt' have a pass-rusher, I went with the undersized Victor Butler. After looking around, it appears that I'm one of the few who values Javarris Williams, so I took him a round later which allowed me to draft an in-line TE that I'm high on. I hopeful that his presence improves the OL, since I didn't draft any linemen. After this mock, I've decided to add a couple more OL to the draft board. OC Blake Schlueter TCU and OG Anthony Parker Tennessee. Both of these guys are 290lbs, so they'll need to get a little bigger, obviously.

I got two trades going down, one is the very probable LZ trade with Tampa Bay(15th for the 19th and 81), the second is with Phili, the 19th for the 28th, 85, and 121. Phili has four picks in the fifth as well as their 2nd rounder and feels they can still add some decent depth their while adding the first round talent they covet.
The Texans feel this could be their year and know the value of this draft is in the middle rounds. They know their lack of depth accross the board has hurt them in the past and feel the best way to improve their team in a cost effective way is through the draft. 28. Clint Sintim OLB 46. Rashad Johnson FS 77. Rashad Jennings RB 81. Jonathan Casillas (as our SS) 85. Mike Mickens CB 112. Jason Williams OLB 121. Patrick Turner WR 122. Kyle Moore DE 152. Sebastion Vollmer OT 188. Corvey Irvin DT 223. Gantrell Johnson RB |

Anyway, using their mock and my board, this was who I got. 28. RB Donald Brown Connecticut 46. S William Moore Missouri 77. S Chip Vaughn Wake Forest 81. CB Asher Allen Georgia 85. DE Cody Brown Connecticut 112. DT Corvey Irvin Georgia 121. LB Scott McKillop Pittsburgh 122. OC A.Q. Shipley Penn St 152. DT Roy Miller Texas 188. WR Demetrius Byrd LSU 223. OG Anthony Parker Tennessee I like that I got my RB early. Granted D. Brown is not exactly Jerome Bettis. I got a pass rusher, upgraded the OL, and even was able to get a LB to compete with Diles. All I needed was a TE to block. Maybe I could get Rutgers' Kevin Brock, Iowa's Brandon Myers, or Michigan's Carson Butler after the draft.

That DraftTek mock is a total mess in the 1st round, IMO. Anyway, if we were to get those extra picks I'd try to work a young QB, perhaps Stephen McGee, in there somewhere. I can't believe Orvlosky anything more than a stop-gap backup for us for a year or two.

The Texans don't carry three QBs, and I think Orlovsky is going to make for a pretty nice career backup. And yeah, that first round from DraftTek does look a little strange, but I have a feeling this year's first round is going to be really strange anyway. |

Hey, I have been impressed with McGee this off season. As much as I wanted to dislike him, the tape kept saying otherwise. But he is now being talked about in the 3rd or 4th rounds, much to early for a guy they want to slide to the practice squad. (Kubiak has only carried 2 QBs since arriving here).

Well, looks like the 28th pick just got traded to the Bills for Jason Peters OT.
