Wow on the TB pick. I like it.

[Matt McGuire]

It was pretty ballsy ... I had that TB pick back in like September I'm glad I went back to it.

[Walter]

That's awesome. It is ballsy, but I definitely could see it happening.

Good Eagles pick too, I think the Eagles definitely go OL or DL. I'd have Chris Williams in my mock too if he wasn't taken earlier.

[Matt McGuire]

I know you are a big Chris Williams fan. This seems like the type of year the Eagles do go OL/DL ... but I think DeSean Jackson would be a great pick for them also. I think they will actually try to trade up for him.

[Matt McGuire]

Moore would be so awesome in Tampa. He could start on day one at under tackle and then eventually move over to nose and Greg Peterson plays the under once he is ready.

Peterson-Moore-Adams DL would abolish QBs.

[Walter]

I don't know about that. Reid almost always goes OL or DL in the draft. That's his MO. Since 2003, all of the Eagles' first-round picks have been used on a lineman. A WR could be taken, but I wouldn't bet on it.

[Matt McGuire]

I doubt it too, because the only WR I see them taking is DeSean Jackson. Maybe a Devin Thomas as a shocker pick, that could definately happen. But like I said I think you are right that they go with LT or DE this year (might trade up for Merling/Harvey also).

[Matt McGuire]

Yeah I'd probably change my Cherilus-Jets pick with the addition of Damien Woody. Do that in the next updage (5-7 business days)

[GridIron NUt]

Cincinnati Bengals: Ali Highsmith, OLB, LSU
Ali Highsmith will start on the weakside immediately with Dan Connor in the middle, as Cincy stabilizes its linebacking corps.

You gave us Curtis Lofton in the Second.

Good Dratf Btw

on the mike pollak pick you have a tulane symbol

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Dre Moore, DT, Maryland
love it cuz I love him!

1st 2 rounds are good. 3rd if Calais Campbell is still there I'd take him for value as the Bills did last year with Edwards. And he'd be the back-up to Aaron.

RDE-Aaron,Campbell
LDE-Harvey,Kelsay,Denny

I can't see how the Giants would pass up on Antoine Cason if he's there for them @ #31.... or Erin Henderson. I've heard the Giants GM is really high on Cason.

Haven't looked at the rest yet, I just go straight to the Giants

Damn it, I just did a round one write up and it didn't post it.

Round 1 Picks I Liked
Ravens - DRC
My personal favorite pick. Fits in great with the Ravens and has the talent to be picked top 10. Being Antonio's cousin doesn't hurt either.

Bengals - Phillip Merling
Fills the needs of a pass rusher now that Justin Smith has left. I think he might be better for the franchise that Smith was too.

Dallas - No RB
I've been saying this for a while and I'm glad someone finally made a mock without Dallas taking a RB in round one (specifically Felix Jones). Marion Barber is a beast and will get the bulk of the carries. They don't need to pay top dollar for another back to get 3-7 carries a game.


Round 1 Picks I Didn't Like
Panthers - Jonathan Stewart
Even as a shocker I'm not a fan of this pick. To many other needs to have the luxury of a 1st round RB who will split carries.

Vikings - Andre Woodson
Could get better value at QB. Possibly get the same QB in round 2.

Texans - DeSean Jackson
Not a fan of drafting a guy saying "What if so-and-so gets hurt?" because if you're going to win a Superbowl chances are you're going to have to get lucky and stay healthy. Other than that Andre Johnson is on the roster and is a monster talent. Jacoby Jones was just drafted and will contribute next year (looked great in pre season last year) and Andre Davis was just re-signed and really filled in for Johnson well when he went down. Texans have other glarign needs. I liked the Baker pick better.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

For some reason I can't view the 3rd round and I can only see the first 4 picks of the 2nd.... anyone else have this problem?
