First Round Predictions?

Question

There is a lot of debate this season on the NFL draft. Give your first 32. Any surprises, give me your reasoning and you'll still be considered for the top spot. Anyone agree with me Quinn will go to Cleveland?

If you cannot give me 32, at least the top 15.

Answer 1

Oakland Raiders - Calvin Johnson WR - Raider pull the trigger the trade Moss to the Packers for Aaron Rodger.

Detriot Lion - Joe Thomas LT - I think the Lions are positioning themselves for a trade, but I havent heard anything yet, Assuming they stay They will take Joe Thomas. Quinn is an outside possibility.

Cleveland Browns - Brady Quinn QB - Another prime candidate for a trade down, but I just dont see a trade partner, now that joe and Calvin are both gone.

Tampa Bucs - Gaines Adams DE - Absolute Beast at Combines, I think he sealed the fact he is the top Linemen in this years class

Arizona Cardinals - Jamal Anderson DE - They could reach for Laron Landry here but signing Terrence Holt, I dont think they reach.

Washington Redskins - Alan Branch DT - They need to upgrade the Dline finally. I think they trade down, and there are rumors they want Dre Bly and denver wants the skins 6th pick. also with Peterson slipping someone like the bills could trade up and grab him.

Minnesota Viking - Jamarcus Russelll QB - Doesnt he remind you of Daunte Culpepper.

Houston Texans - Adrian Peterson RB - Makes up for last year mistake of not taking bush. Green is not a long term solution.

Miami Dolphins - Levi Brown T - That Oline needs work.

Atlanta - Laron landry S - If he is there this is the pick. If Landry is gone look for them to take Amobi Okoye, to replace patrick kerney.

San Fran 49ers - Ted Ginn JR WR - They need a playmaker and new toy for alex smith to play with.

Buffalo - Marshawn Lynch RB - Replacement for Mcgahee

St Louis Rams - Adam Carriker DE - Rams could use a pass rusher

Carolina - Reggie Nelson S - Now they can move thomas davis to linebacker Permanently.

Pittsburgh - Patrick Willis LB - need someone to replace Porter. Willis had the best combine for a linebacker, but Timmons could still be higher on the steelers board and better replacement since he plays on the outside.

Thats my 15. Biggest surprise is Green Bay 16 trading for Randy Moss. At 16 in this mock with the 2 top safties and 2 top running backs off the board look for the packers to get a defensive linemen like Charles Johnson or reach for a safety like Michael Griffin. I think the packers trade their 2nd rounder for Michael Turner from the chargers and in the 3rd look for a drew stanton or Trent Edwards at qb as a replacement for rodgers. If they dont get Michael Turner, Michael Bush in the second round or Chris Henry in the third might be a good fit.

Answer 2

The 1st pick still depends on what the Raiders do with Moss. If they trade him, they will go for Calvin Johnson. His numbers (4.3 40', 45 inch verticle and 6'5 height) are making teams drool. If they keep Moss, they still might take Johnson, but it's more likely they go for a QB, and even then it's undecided.

Brady Quinn is a safe bet with ideal qualities to be successful in the NFL, while JeMarcus Russell is a high risk, high reward pick. He has great size, strength and a amazingly strong arm, but his accuracy and decision making have come into question, two of the most important qualities of a quarterback in the NFL today.

I think the Raiders will take Quinn if Moss is gone. Despite all the negativity towards him, he resembles Peyton Manning coming out of college.

But Raiders fans, even if he does resembles Peyton Manning, dont expect to do well this season.
Manning went 3-13 his rookie year

Answer 3

ill try my best, top 15, without any trades happening:
Oak-russell, if moss is staying they will go with a QB, if moss goes, they might go calvin johnson
Det-thomas, they need OLine help
Cle-Quinn, they got jamal lewis, they got winslow and edwards, so they go for the Ohio native, quinn
TB-Calvin Johnson, best player in the draft, they got a great QB in jeff garcia, galloway is getting old and hilliard isnt that great so they go for the greatest WR prospect in recent memory.
Ari-gaines adams, with joe thomas gone, they need help on D, so they get the best DE in the draft. other option is to trade down and get levi brown.
Was-branch, they need to improve their D, get the best NT in draft
Min-jamal anderson- they need a WR but ginn and jarrett arent worth a 7 pick. they need a QB but the best 2 are gone. so they opt for DE.
Hou-adrian peterson, they got green but he is injury prone so AP is their backup plan. makes up for not taking bush last year. gamebreaking abilities.
Mia-amobi okeye, the fins will improve their D with newly added joey porter, teaming with jason taylor and throw in the 19 year old phenom and its a pretty good defense.
Atl-laron landry, falcons need 2ndary help badly.
SF-adam carriker, they are employing the 3-4, ginn and meachem might be a reach at 11. so they go add carriker and improve their D even more after adding clements, lewis, franklin, and banta cain.
Buf-leon hall, they just lost clements so they get the best CB to replace him.
STL-charles johnson, rams need help on Dm but bit of a reach
Car-patrick willis, big reach here at 14 but they need to replace dan morgan.
Pitt-jarvis moss, really good DE, pitt needs help on D after losing porter, improved his stock in the championship game.

Answer 4

Cowboys will draft safety Landry or Merriweather

Answer 5

oak: russell-brooks and walters are jokes, and there aren't anygood FA qbs out there. russell's pro day wednesday will cement him no. 1. just to add, any "questions" about his accuracy and/or decision making are totally unfounded, russell was far more accurate at 67.9% while quinn was 61.8%, and int's were 8 for russell, 7 for quinn. AND he had 9 fourth quarter comeback victories the last 2+ years.
det: joe thomas-best OT around, and fills a huge need. quinn's stock is back up and he may go here, i think that's a mistake.
cle: adrian peterson-they'll stick with charlie fry for another year, and peterson is too much to pass up. just what they need.
TB: calvin johnson-team needs and luck land the bucs with the guy who may be the best player in the draft, even though they need help in a few other places no way he falls past them.
ARIZ: alan branch-could be a trade down here, but the d line is in need of an upgrade and alan branch is as big as they come.
WAS: jammaal anderson-great pass rusher, and bigger than gaines adams, its a toss up to me, both are top 10's, and all indications are the skins are looking at DE
MIN: brady quinn-i think tavarius jackson is a backup, and the vikes need a high profile, character guy to be the face of the franchise, quinn could be that guy.
Hou: laron landry-no qb worth taking here, and no rb either. the texans can really upgrade their defense with the super fast and productive landry, and with mario and demeco ryans they have youth and quality.
MIA: amobe okoye-the dolphins are aging along that line, and again, while qb is a need, there's no way they take one here. okoye is only 19 and is a common sense pick here for the fins.
ATL: gaines adams-he's too good to fall out of the top 10, and the falcons gladly select him here. with abrahams health issues, he's an excellent choice and should start from day 1.
SF: ted ginn-the 49ers have a ton of needs, but they really need some speed and playmaking ability to help out alex smith. with frank gore and a decent o-line, they need to round out their offense.
BUF: leon hall-lost nate clements, and that hurts, but hall is a great replacement, and fits the bills biggest need at this point (unless they lose mcgahee, then they may go after marshawn lynch)
STL: patrick willis-this guy has it all, size, sideline to sideline speed, leadership, and ferocious tackling ability.
CAR: levi brown-jake delhomme may be on the way out, but he stays another year. the panthers need better protection on the blindside anyway, so they grab brown and move jordan gross to RT.
PIT: chris houston-stock way up following combine, fastest cb in draft. wr, de, are also possibilites.
GB: marshawn lynch-easy pick here, esp with green gone to houston. best back available and just what they need.
JAX: reggie nelson-no brainer pick at this point, fla native and helps out aging secondary.
CIN: lawrence timmons-tons of potential and rising on draft boards, good combine.
TEN: robert meachem-hometown guy and a great pickup for the titans. vince young will lobby for this pick here.
NYG: dwayne jarret-manning needs someone besides plaxico and shockey to throw to. tim carter and 5'8 sinorice moss aren't starting quality.
DEN: dwayne bowe-the run on wrs continues...how old is rod smith? the fast, physical bowe will become cutler's favorite target.
DAL: paul posluszny: great addition to a lb core that already has demarcus ware and bradie james.
KC: sidney rice-wr has been a need for years, eddie kennison is almost as old as herm edwards.
NE: darrelle revis-shores up the cb position with asante samuel on the other side.
NYJ: adam carriker-need to pressure qbs, especially in a division with brady, losman and (possibly) culpepper.
PHI: demarcus tyler-massive dt, stopping the run a problem for the eagles last year.
NO: aaron ross-the saints have needed a good cover corner since mike ditka was the head coach. former longhorn ross is right up there with the best in this draft, and will replace fred thomas instantly.
NE: michael griffin-texas safety takes over for aging artrell hawkins.
Bal: justin blalock-whoever the rb is needs room to run. blalock is the best OG in the draft
SD: charles johnson-wr is biggest need, but top 6 are gone in 1st rd so the bolts get the best DE on the board.
CHI: greg olsen-best te in draft, and desmond clark is certainly no stud. should be nice outlet for grossman (god he sucks)
IND: john beason-run stopping linebacker from miami best option left for indy d that needs to improve in that area.
