This is assuming that Culpepper is released, and Green is traded to Miami... which
would result in Okland picking up Dante. If this does happen, i think alot less trades
would be made seeming everyone, at least in the top 10, has a good shot at one
of thier top 2 guys. Now, that this rumor has died down, i can take it back to a normal.... although i finally tried to predeict some trades this time.

TRADES - Miami trades first rounder (9th overall) and 2nd rounder for The Cards
first rounder.
Chiefs trade thier first rounder to the Colts for the Colts first and third rounder.

Update in Yellow, prolly a few safter selections, and im sure i will update this thing
about 5 more times before the draft.

Second update in dark orange.

[GridironChamp]

Got any questions about why i put anyone there go ahead and ask.. i just didnt
feel like giving my WHOLE reasoning for every pick.

[elwayfan2k]

I hope your wrong about our pick. Also i dont think Peterson will slip that far.
PLus as much as KC needs one i dont think you guys are drafting a WR.
Good stuff thogh FYI some of the colors are hard to read

[Broncos_Rampage]

i dont think tampaa would pass on adams over okoye. but who knows and i do not think merriweather is a first rounder. and the color scheme is horrible.

[pipes]

Aaahh....I can't read some of them.

[GridironChamp]

i dont think tampaa would pass on adams over okoye. but who knows and i do not think merriweather is a first rounder. and the color scheme is horrible.

Actually Gruden is "in love" with Okoye, he talked to him during the senior bowl
and really liked what he heard/saw. Thats the only reaston i picked Okoye over
Adams.


I will change the colors, i went with the NFL teams color thent he college teams
color.

[NickTranOwnz]

That's a pretty awesome mock.

AP is projected/thought of to be the "Matt Leinart" of this draft.

Projected to go at number 3 but falls to number 10.

Well see, i was trying not to focus on who i think a team wants before thier pick.
I tried doing it pick by pick, and with all DLs, whos value surpass or come close
to Nelson's, had been taken. I then looked for a LB, but i was looking more MLB
and nothing popped up, so it came down to Merriwether or Nelson... with Beason
being and outside shot. Nelson is a playmaking Saftey that could complete your
guys secondary.

Again, i was trying to think more based upon what a team needed for thier pick
and for KC it came down to Ginn, Jarret, or Harrell. Under the assumption that
Ginn is there i would hope KC is dealing off the third rounder and Hall for Kris
Jenkins
filling hte DT spot and leaving the KR spot open for competition against Jeff Webb.
Ginn could be a #2 option and return kicks successfully.

No one, at least IMO besides Cleveland has a screaming need for RB. A few teams
could use one, but they have bigger needs and there is a good player out there
to fufill them. I still think he will be the second best offensive player out of this
draft, but he just cant find a home until Houstan comes up. But watch out for
either Minnisota or the Buccs to throw a sneaky move in there and grab him.

[Charlie Brown]

You know full well how I feel about your mock.

[GridironChamp]

You know full well how I feel about your mock.

I do i do, but here is why i think the Browns will pick Quinn if he's there....

I saw about 2 or 3 articles when i was researching whle making this that said that
Romeo liked what he has heard from and seen out of Brady. The articles were
explaining to me why Frye wont work, and how Anderson isnt the right answer...

I was still unsure on your pick... then i heard this on ESPN ... "With the Trent Green
trade to Miami making no more progress, it has been expressed by the Browns
organization that they would like to aqquire Trent Green." Now, i dont think Cleveland
will out bid Miami where Green wants to play, but that tells me right there that you
guys are looking QB, at least IMO.

Okay, I can buy this. Still a lot of assumptions, but that's pretty much the norm for ANY sort of mock draft. And I agree, it does kinda smooth out those top 5-6 picks.

Detroit trading Josh McCown to Oakland would accomplish much the same Top 6.

Just a little matter of all the cards falling the right way now, I guess. :o)

21 Denver Broncos: Reggie Nelson - S Fl

I would much rather trade UP and get Leron Landry IF we are going Safety in the first round. Though only if we can nab some DL help in the 2nd and 3rd round.


bah mispoke, thanks for the fix

[D3N7ER 8r0I\I<05]

I would much rather trade down and get Leron Landry IF we are going Safety in the first round. Though only if we can nab some DL help in the 2nd and 3rd round.

Me too. Then I would take Amobi Okoye in the 2nd, and hope Patrick Willis falls to the third.

Denver would need to trade UP quite a bit to get Landry.
