YOUR dream 2008 draft looks like...

[muffcon350]

Mine looks like this:

Assuming Clady is off the board at 12, try and trade into the late part of the first, and pick up another 2nd rounder.

THEN, take Chris Williams or Sam Baker with our 1st.
--Both these guys have great LT potential. Both need to work on their strength, but who doesn't. Thats nothing that one NFL offseason can't fix. Williams DOES NOT give up sacks, which is the main job as a LT. If he is gone, Baker is a more than adequete consolation prize. He is a great athlete and seemed to recover well from his knee injury from a year ago. He has performed well against the NCAA's best for four years now.


NEXT, take Trevor Laws and Earl Bennett in the second.
--I know most people want a huge DT to go along side Thomas, and I do too. But the fact is, Laws is a great FOOTBALL PLAYER, at a position of need for us. Even though he doesn't weigh 350, he is still effective against the run and is superb at rushing the passer. Why pass up on someone that can have a greater impact on your team just to try and get a player that might fit the system better? Plus, their really aren't any HUGE DT worthy of the 42 overall pick.
--Earl Bennett is not someone who is going to come in and be a Devin Hester in the return game. He IS someone who will catch passes consistantly, run great routes, work his hardest to do his best. Plus he already has the chemistry with Cutler that is neccessary in the NFL between a QB and WR. He is also a stand up guy, on and off the field, and hopefully would have a positive influence on Brandon Marshall. Most people think that WR isn't really that great of a need, but what would we do if Marshall got hurt. That leaves Stokley and Colbert as our 1 and 2 guys, and maybe martinez stepping into the slot. That would be horrible!!! Bennett knows the game, knows what it takes to succeed in football and in life, has a great attitude, great talent, and would probably start right away and have a great impact on this team.

Trade into the third and try and get Okam, and mark my words he will NOT go until the third round. That will probably cost both fourth rounders, but who cares?

Trade all of our picks from 5th-7th for another fourth.

THEN, take either Beau Bell, Jamaal Charles, or Tashard Choice in the fourth. I know, I know, the positions are at both ends of the spectrum, but if Choice is still there, I would have to take him. He is probably the best all around back in the draft. If he is gone, we bring in Bell, who would give NIKO some competition and be able to step in if Niko or Boss went down at some point during the season. If Bell is gone, take Charles. He has great speed and cutting skills. He runs very well when paired with Selvin Young. He and Selvin could dominate second halves, after Smoky McHenry wears down the DLine in the first half.

LAST, trade all of our lower round picks for

Imagine that draft:

Chris Williams/Sam Baker
Trevor Laws
Earl Bennett
Frank Okam
Tashard Choice/Jamaal Charles/Beau Bell

This is my dream draft, what's yours?

Try to be realistic. If you hope someone falls like I did with Choice, give alternates.

Not bad but how far down are you planning trading. I only ask because Williams wont last that long so going down a few spots may net your a lat third early fourth where as if you trade in to the twenties you'll net a second rounder but lose on Williams.
My DREAM mock would be in my signature.

Mine to!:rockon:

[Ravage!!!]

I don't know how far you plan on trading down and still getting Williams?

Getting all these trades and moving up.. sounds a lot like Madden to me.

But I guess if we are going for DREAM drafts... then this would be pretty good.

[bronco4life88]

trade up to get sedrick ellis and if we still have a 2nd rounder draft a tackle

[Cutler2007]

My dream scenario would be trading out of the first round and picking up 2 more 2nds and a 3rd. Packaging Foxworth and a 5th for another third.

2a. WR Devin Thomas, Sweed, or Hardy
2b. DT Kentwan Balmer
2c. LT Sam Baker
3a. DT Dre Moore
3b. C Winston Justice
4a. RT Kirk Barton
4b. MLB Beau Bell
5. FB Peyton Hillis
6. K Taylor Mehlhaff
7. P Mike Dragosavich
7. WR/PR Sammie Stroughter

That would be a draem scenario and everyone of thos guys would make the 53 man roster.

[Broncosfreak_56]

1. Glenn Dorsey
2. Jake long
4. Darren McFadden
4. Ryan Clady
5. Sedrick Ellis
5. Vernon Gholston
6. Chris Williams


DREAM.

[Maharishineo]

Dream draft? Give me Ellis in round one and I'm happy. If you're asking me for more, my dream draft would resemble this:

Rd 1. Sedrick Ellis
Rd 2. Devin Thomas or Jarod Mayo or Limus Sweed
Rd 4. Frank Okam
Rd 5. Donnie Avery
Rd 5. Jeremy Zuttah
Rd 6. Taylor Melhaff or Brandon Coutu
Rd 7. Derrick Huff
Rd 7. Jason Shirley

If you're wondering, I'm assuming we're trading our first, a fourth, and Foxworth in order to get ourselves in position to take Ellis. Concerning the second round, if Thomas, Mayo, and Sweed are all gone (likely), then trade our second and a fourth to take Steve Justice or Dwane Brown and Eddie Royal in the late second and third rounds (however we can manage it). So the alternative would be: Sedrick Ellis, Eddie Royal, Dwayne Brown, Frank Okam, etcetera. Oh, and unless we grab Mayo, it would be smart to draft a lineback in place of Donnie Avery, since we would've already drafted a receiver.

I certainly wouldn't mind a scenario involving a trade down from the No. 12 spot to get Devin Thomas or Limus Sweed and Jarod Mayo, plus a second round defensive tackle, either. Enough getting carried away though, in all practicality I'd be satisfied with Ryan Clady in the first, a defensive tackle in the second, and fillers for all of our positions of need in the subsequent rounds.

1. Glenn Dorsey
2. Jake long
4. Darren McFadden
4. Ryan Clady
5. Sedrick Ellis
5. Vernon Gholston
6. Chris Williams


DREAM.

He did say be realistic when considering your dream draft. I suppose if man must dream though...:cheers:

[jvw]

I remember when we were in dire need of CB's and Shanahan drafted 3 corners with the first three picks. Imo, all three were well worth the picks. I wouldn't mind seeing him do the same thing with DT this year. Maybe taking two instead of three but two out of the first three would make me smile :D I know that we need to fill other needs as well but DT is a huge need and taking just one might not be enough. Of coarse this is assuming that we don't sign Dwayne Robertson or any other DT free agent.

[GridironChamp]

My draft = my sig.

But i think some people took dream as impossible (including the creator of the thread) so i could make a new one... it would look like Broncofreaks.

[Max Power]

First, I'd trade #12 and #115 to the Detroit Lions for #15 and #76. This gives us a mid-3rd round pick, and secures them Mendenhall. Here's the draft:

#15 - DeSean Jackson [WR, Cal] (and then most of the board commits suicide)
#42 - Sam Baker [T, USC] (may or may not fall this far, if he does we should pick him up if we didn't get an OT in the 1st, which is the case here.)
#76 - Pat Sims [DT, Auburn] (a minor steal if he falls that far, I think he's a gamer, I don't know why some on here are so down on him)
#104 - Beau Bell [MLB, UNLV] (Will provide some competition for Niko for the right to be our man in the middle, could find a niche on ST also.)
5th Round A - King Dunlap [T, Auburn] (will battle Pears for the RT spot)
5th Round B - Carlton Powell [DT, Virginia Tech] (depth/rotational guy)
6th Round - Taylor Mehlhaff [K, Wisconsin] (will battle with Prater to be our kicker)
7th Round A - Mike Dragosavich [P, North Dakota State] (will battle with Paulescu to be our punter)
7th Round B - Marcus Walker [CB, Oklahoma] (might hang on as the 5th CB and could move up to dime or nickel after Foxy leaves whenever that might be)

[Bronco_Rob]

Darren McFadden, Earl Bennett, Frank Okam

i see the 3 picks happening on the o-line way before We select 3 DT's

[kona bronco]

2a. WR Devin Thomas, Sweed, or Hardy
2b. DT Kentwan Balmer
2c. LT Sam Baker
3a. DT Dre Moore
3b. C Winston Justice
4a. RT Kirk Barton
4b. MLB Beau Bell

6. K Taylor Mehlhaff
7. P Mike Dragosavich
7. WR/PR Sammie Stroughter

That would be a draem scenario and everyone of thos guys would make the 53 man roster.

So your saying we trade our 1st to ATL for two of thier three 2nd rounders and thier 3rd. I say that because there the only one with multiple 2nd round picks that I know. Whats the point value for these picks and is it resonable. ATL is rebuilding and would probaly want all their picks.

[jhns]

Is this supposed to be realistic? If not, I would take Ellis, McFadden, Kelly, and Long.

Who cares about the other 5 picks if we ended up with that. Franchise LT, DT, RB, and WR. All our needs would be filled!

[Gr3yStreet]

1.) Chris Williams-OT
2.) Trevor Laws-DT (though my guess is he will go in the first)
4.) Frank Okam-DT
4.) Jamie Silva-S
5.) Jordan Dizon- LB/ST/FS/Nickle back kinda guy
6.) Chauncey Washington-RB
7.) Either another lineman, or a Kicker the coaches REALLY like.

[tante_vasquez]

1.) Chris Williams-OT
2.) Pat Sims - DT
4.) Owen Schmidtt - FB
4.) Choice - RB
5.) Eddie Royal Va Tech
6.) Jordan Dizon- LB (word is he is dropping)
7.) Pig Brown - Missouri


Here is what I would love:

trade our first round pick for 2 of Atlanta's 2nd rounders and a 3rd and do this draft:

2) Trevor Laws - DT
2) Sam Baker - OT
2) Earl Bennett - WR
3) Frank Okam - DT
4) Owen Schmidtt - FB
4.) Choice - RB
5.) Eddie Royal Va Tech
6.) Jordan Dizon- LB (word is he is dropping)
7.) Pig Brown - Missouri

[foolio2000]

My dream draft would be:

1. Brandon Albert - OG - Ideally we would trade down for this pick. However, Shanny has reached before (*cough* Jarvis Moss) so this is semi-realistic. He can play guard and add depth at Tackle. Good all around blocker and athletic.

2. Trevor Laws - DT - He is my favorite DT in this draft (because Ellis and Dorsey are out of reach). He was very productive in college and I think he can be productive in the pros as well.

4a. Frank Okam - DT - We need a big DT to play alongside Thomas and Laws on 1st and 2nd down. The best guy available in this draft to do that is Okam. Perfect pick in the 4th.

4b. Wesley Woodyard - OLB - He was very productive at Kentucky and he is an undersized sideline to sideline OLB. I thinkk he can find a home here.

5a. Marcus Griffin - S - Everyone talks about how about the S class is next year but this guy I think has great potential and had great production. If he lasts this long he is a steal to me.

5b. Steven Johnson - WR - A clutch WR from Kentucky overshadowed by Keenan Burton.

6. Brandon Keith - OT - More depth on the Oline and a great big athlete.

7a. Andrew Larson - P

7b. Garret Hartley - K
