Mock Draft

[TFoA]

I'm not gonna do the whole draft, but I figure that the Jets are gonna trade up to get Reggie Bush.

-Validating my reason for Reggie Bush or Matt Leinart not going #1-

#1: Texans already have a good QB (Carr) and a good RB (Domanick Davis).

#2: Their O-Line freakin sucks.

That's why I think D'Brickashaw is going #1, Leinart's gonna be in N.O., and Bush is gonna be a Jet.

And the Falcons need to boost their secondary badly, so they need to draft the most dangerous man in the state of Georgia...

Greg Freakin Blue.

Ouch... ouch. That's just plain mean. Funny, but mean.

Leinart would work well in New Orleans. I think they have all but given up on Aaron Brooks and Todd Bouman isn't exactly the next Archie Manning. Also, they have some weapons down there. Did we forget Duce already? Oh, and let's not forget Joe 'Little Big' Horn.

i guess it belongs on the logos forum, -but if the Saints take Leinart, they'll have a new coach and staff, and they'll be coming back to a revamped Dome, they oughta re-do the uni's too. It's time for a revamp, a new begining, image wise.

I like that idea. Just the unis. The logo and color are a perfect fit.

And for you Jets fan who want to see No. 5 in green what do you think it's going to take. Eli came to the Giants when they four picks, two No. 1s and here's a list of other No.1 picks being dealt here

Personally I also think it's going to be how the Texans view themselves. If they think the wheels just feel off from a 7-9 season ago, the could trade down and might not even have to get Ferguson, good linemen can be found throughout the draft. I also feel there is going to be huge pressure to draft Bush from any fan base who is at the top spot on draft day.

I see us taking Santonio Holmes, not Marcedes Lewis.

yeah i can see that too

[BCBoy]

That'd be great if Omar Jacobs was drafted in the first round, he's a great/underrated QB, but even with great workouts and combine, I don't see him going as high as 10th, maybe a late late round first at the most.

[OB33]

Just out of curiosity, if Bush and Leinart went 1-2 would that be the first time that the top 2 picks came from the same college?

[tj4eck]

Just out of curiosity, if Bush and Leinart went 1-2 would that be the first time that the top 2 picks came from the same college?

no it would be the fourth

DE Bubba Smith & RB Clint Jones-----Michigan St.-----1967

WR Irving Fryar & G Dean Steinkuhler-----Nebraska----1984

DE Courtney Brown & LB LaVar Arrington-----Penn St-----2000

it would probably be the best 1/2 from the same school though

[floydnimrod]

As I look at these mock drafts(I know its hard to project the later first round picks)

I don't think Cincinnati will draft Ahmad Brooks- due to the surplus of linebackers, Mercedes Lewis-due to the fact that Marvin Lewis doesn't throw to the TE anyway,or Alan Zemaitis-but that would be safe in case of injuries.

Does anyone know the thing that's keeping Cincy back from dominance in the AFC?

Run Defense!

They should draft a DT(Rodrique Wright?) or a DE(although I suggest moving David Pollack back to his natural position)

[tj4eck]

Reggie over Young???

[Grish]

Personally I think Houston's bluffing about Bush. This is Michael Vick all over again. 3 teams need QB's the loser in Young's Performance was that Houston could not play Titans, Jets and Saints against themselves. If he declares the only hopes they have of trading out of the #1 slot is saying they are taking Bush and forcing teams to persuade them with picks differently. If not then the Titans and Jets have to figure out is Lienert with the trade up above the Saints to get him.

However if no trade is worth moving, then take Bush and worry about trading later.

[ColeJ]

Reggie over Young???

please dear lord let it be true

now we just need nawlines to come out and claim that they've got a boner for leinart.

[TLChandler]

Alright I just did a top 20, because we don't know the draft positions of playoff teams yet. Vince Young excluded, because I believe he'll be a senior.

1. Houston Texans - Reggie Bush, RB, USC

2. New Orleans Saints - Matt Leinart, QB, USC

3. Tennessee Titans - D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OL, Virginia

4. New York Jets - DeAngelo Williams, RB , Memphis

5. Green Bay Packers - Jimmy Williams, DB, Virginia Tech

6. Oakland Raiders - AJ Hawk, LB, Ohio State

7. San Francisco 49ers - Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College

8. Buffalo Bills - Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon

9. Detroit Lions - Mario Williams, DE, NC State

10. Arizona Cardinals - DeMeco Ryans, LB, Alabama

11. St. Louis Rams - Michael Huff, DB, Texas

12. Cleveland Browns - Tamba Hali, DE, Penn State

13. Baltimore Ravens - Eric Winston, OL, Miami

14. Philadelphia Eagles - Santanio Holmes, WR, Ohio State

15. Atlanta Falcons - Chad Greenway, LB, Iowa

16. Miami Dolphins - Mercedes Lewis, TE, UCLA

17. Minnesota Vikings - Laurence Maroney, RB, Minnesota

18. Dallas Cowboys - Derek Hagan, WR, Arizona State

19. San Diego Chargers - Marcus McNeil, OL, Auburn

20. Kansas City Chiefs - Rod Wright, DT, Texas

[BBTV]

Eagles will draft a DL or OL in the first round. They will not draft a receiver, no matter what the need is. Freddie was the exception, not the rule. With all their needs (DT, DE, LB, OL, WR) drafting a TE would just be silly.
