Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 A few things I'm noticing: -- Unless I force Sinorice Moss somewhere, he falls further than I expect. -- It's always hard to predict where a huge, 350-lb guard (Jean-Gilles) will go. -- The Patriots have a TON of "needs". They could go a number of directions. -- Jacksonville, so far, has done the best job hiding their intentions. I know they want a TE, but I don't think they'll find good value in the first two rounds.

NAUgrad Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Another great job at a mock Swiss. I like Denver's moves, but for some reason I have a hard time seeing them make a big trade like this for Davis. I know he's the "no question" best TE availble and could be a great star in the NFL, I'm just wondering if he's that much better than Pope. I think really the only reason they might try to trade up is either for Mario, or maybe make a big splash and go after Bush! How would Bush look in a Denver uni. Perhaps both 1st round picks as well as a 2nd next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suckmyvick Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 If Houston doenst take Bush I think they will trade down a few picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 First off, you do a fantastic job on these mock drafts. It is obvious that you take your time with them. For the Steelers...... With the size issue at WR, and the fact that Moss' is represented by Rosenhaus (I think I heard that correctly), you very well could be right that the Steelers go with Hagan over Moss. I still have a feeling that they end up passing on both & going with Nick Mangold (If he's there), a safety, or a Defensive End. I would like to see them go WR, but, it is just a feeling I have. As for the 2nd round pick, I would be surprised to see the Steelers take an OT in that spot. They could use some depth on the O-Line, but, I don't see them taking one this early, when there is still need at WR, S, DE, ILB, & C. Once again, great job !

I see LB or DB at #15 and a WR/RB or OL at #22.... Houston going DE after all the talk of Bush/trading down???? WOW....can you expound on that??? Titans takinga RB with Henry, Brown, etc/??? Very interesting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I wish the Eagles made a bold move like that....but Reid wouldn't give up his 1st and 2nd to move up 6 spots... not that I am hating lol....I love the idea and it makes perfect sense...Reid just thinks that 2nd rounder is easily a pro-bowler every year....

PSULions Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't see the Panthers taking a safety that early in the draft. Ou biggest needs are on OL, LB and RB. I think that there is a good chance that we would take Maroney if he is available at #27. The other players I think the Panthers would take a hard look at our Thomas Howard from UTEP and Justice if he falls to #27. The Panthers are big on running the ball and even though they re-signed Foster and gave him a big contract, there is NO doubt him my mind they will jump at the chance to add depth to that position, given Foster's injury history. Overall, a nice job and a good read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sores Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 If Favre comes back, the Pack keeps 5, if he retires they could possibly deal. I know you think Tamba Hali is slow, but your opinion is jaded for some reason and I will bet you he doesn't fall to the 45th pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think really the only reason they might try to trade up is either for Mario, 1404170[/snapback] Fair point about the relative difference between the TEs. I don't necessarily disagree with you, either, but I keep hearing that there are three prospects with whom Shanahan is infatuated: Williams, Davis, and Huff. Cutler COULD be in that mix, but probably not. So, in this mock, Williams is gone, but Shanny would still have his choice between the best TE or the best safety. If he's infatuated enough, he'll still move up. Pure conjecture on my part, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 If Houston doenst take Bush I think they will trade down a few picks. 1404173[/snapback] Well, I doubt they'll have any suitors for the #1 pick. Realistically, I think they'll take Bush, but there's a tiny voice inside me that keeps saying they want someone else. Mostly, I just wanted to start a mock with someone else going #1 and see what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see LB or DB at #15 and a WR/RB or OL at #22.... 1404202[/snapback] Most disagree with me, but I believe they need a stud RB more than a LB. There won't be good OL value for the Packers in the first round, whether they trade down or not. Houston going DE after all the talk of Bush/trading down???? WOW....can you expound on that??? Titans takinga RB with Henry, Brown, etc/??? Very interesting!! 1404202[/snapback] As I said above, I really don't think the Texans will be able to trade down. With that in mind, I wanted to do one mock where they didn't take Bush. After all, it's not TOTALLY out of the question. They haven't even started negotiating with him yet (with that, I'm sure Bush's phone just rang). And, yes, the Titans would definitely take Bush over any other player. Brown's contract is up after this year and Henry certainly hasn't shown enough to be handed the reins of the running game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, great job ! 1404185[/snapback] I considered Mangold, but from what I understand, they've been ready to hand the OC job to Okkobi for a couple of years now, but Hartings keeps having All-Pro seasons. If they don't think they can keep Okkobi in 2007, then Mangold would be a very nice selection. Pittsburgh's 2nd pick was definitely tough, but only because I don't think they have any glaring "needs". With Hagan hypothetically in the fold, the WR position is shored up, I like Keisel, so I think their DEs are fine, their ILBs are very solid, if you're including Rian Wallace, and we've already discussed OC. So, I believe it's possible that they look for an upgrade over Max Starks. Of all their starters, he's one of the weakest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, a nice job and a good read. 1404223[/snapback] I don't see a big OL need, honestly. Well, I take that back -- I see a need to move Wharton back to OG and get a better LT, but I don't think the TEAM sees a need. Hartwig is a very good OC and they like Mathis at RG. I could see them taking Howard, but he's gone in this mock. I can't see them taking Ryans right there. Call it a hunch. They might be tempted by Maroney, but with the money invested in Foster and a 2nd-round pick invested in Shelton, I think they'll certainly go with a different position in round 1. On the other hand...Mike Minter showed definite signs of decline last season and he's 32. They currently don't have anybody waiting to replace him. If he got hurt, the team would be hurt worse. I think they're looking at lots of safeties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 If Favre comes back, the Pack keeps 5, if he retires they could possibly deal. 1404330[/snapback] I don't think that's necessarily true. Two good, impact contributors can be better than one total stud. I'm sure Brett would see it that way, too. I know you think Tamba Hali is slow, but your opinion is jaded for some reason and I will bet you he doesn't fall to the 45th pick. 1404330[/snapback] The problem is, where do you put him? If Houston doesn't take him at the top of round 2, then you're hard-pressed to make him the best value for any team. Hali isn't better than Kamp or KGB, so the Packers wouldn't take him. Do you have a different idea of where he'll go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Why is Buffalo trading their 8th to Philly? 1404313[/snapback] Because Philly really wants Ngata and Buffalo can still get one of the players they want most (Bunkley or Justice) at #13.

Riffraff Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Highly unlikely those trades happen. Good deals for the teams moving up, bad for those moving down. It's usually the opposite effect. I can see the Baltimore move, but not the other two. If you are going to play fantasy draft, round two should probably have more trades (and realistic ones) than round one. Sadly, this has no shock value though, people like to see first round drama. Maybe 1 early 1st round trade, definitely a late first round trade or two. Someone moves up from the early 2nd to the 1st. Totaly understand you going for the coolness factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargerz Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I've liked all your mock drafts so far, and this is no exception.
