An offensive look at the NFL draft

If each team is ONLY looking at the offensive side of the ball, here's what they're looking at if I'm the GM (but I don't trade my picks when I'm on the clock):

 

1 Oakland Raiders

Trade Randy Moss to TB for the 36th overall pick which they then send to GB for Aaron Rodgers; Al takes Calvin Johnson, WR.

 

2 Detroit Lions

Joe Thomas, OT; more likely to trade down in the first round than OAK or CLE

 

3 Cleveland Browns

JaMarcus Russell, QB; more likely to trade down than OAK.

 

4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chucky knows he needs to rekindle things before he gets shown the door ... so in what could be his final year in TB, he rolls the dice and trades TBs second round pick for Randy Moss. His first offensive pick is on the offensive line. Most likely of the top six teams to trade up.

 

5 Arizona Cardinals

Their first offensive pick is on the OL. Least likely team in the top five to trade up (unless Joe Thomas slides to #3 or #4).

 

6 Washington Redskins

Ted Ginn, WR

 

7 Minnesota Vikings

Adrian Peterson, RB

 

8 Houston Texans

Brady Quinn, QB

 

9 Miami Dolphins

Offensive line is where they go with the first pick they use on the offensive side of the ball.

 

10 Atlanta Falcons

First offensive pick is used at RB (Petrino's home cooking causes him to take Michael Bush, RB?)

 

11 San Francisco 49ers

WR is their first offensive selection

 

12 Buffalo Bills

Trade McGahee; draft Marshawn Lynch, RB

 

13 St. Louis Rams

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

14 Carolina Panthers

Greg Olson, TE ... maybe ...

 

15 Pittsburgh Steelers

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

16 Green Bay Packers

Trade Rodgers to OAK for their 2nd round pick; draft a QB with their first offensive pick

 

17 Jacksonville Jaguars

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

18 Cincinnati Bengals

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

19 Tennessee Titans

First offensive pick is at WR

 

20 New York Giants

First offensive pick is at WR

 

21 Denver Broncos

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

22 Dallas Cowboys

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

23 Kansas City Chiefs

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

24 New England Patriots (from Seattle)

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

25 New York Jets

First offensive pick is at WR

 

26 Philadelphia Eagles

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

27 New Orleans Saints

First offensive pick is at WR

 

28 New England Patriots

Second offensive pick is at WR or TE

 

29 Baltimore Ravens

Could really go anywhere ... the magic 8-ball says "QB" as I'm guessing they address the RB slot through FA and a mid-round draft pick

 

30 San Diego Chargers

First offensive pick is at WR

 

31 Chicago Bears

First offensive pick is on the offensive line

 

32 Indianapolis Colts

First offensive pick is at WR

:D

 

Actually they are thin there, but if Polian pulls another brain fart and does go offense, it better be on the OL, where we're also thin. They can sign somebody like Engram or whatever to replace Stokley.

 

Interesting angle on the draft muck

I can't see AP aliding down as far as #8. With Jamal Lewis on board now, are the Browns more inclined to trade out of that #3 spot? If so, this spot is where he still goes (according to most mocks).

 

Also, fourteen of the thirty-two picks are for offensive linemen...now we know why all this free agent dough is being tossed around on marginal players.

 

Good effort Muck. Like BeeR said, interesting angle.

Not saying they'll use their first pick on a WR, just that the first offensive player they'll take will be a WR...

I said that I wasn't trading out of the picks; every team drafts where they are in the first round.

14 / 32 = 43.75%

5 / 11 = 45.45%

 

So, we have 11 players on offense, five of which are OL. Nothing really out of the ordinary to think that a proportional amount of these picks would be used on OL-men, is it?

 

Good effort Muck. Like BeeR said, interesting angle.

 

 

Thanks.
