Rick Gosselin's first NFL mock draft!!!

[broncofansd]

Rich Gosselin has been one of the most accurate Mock Draft Experts!!! I like 1 out of the 2 picks



1. Detroit Lions:
Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
Lions are hoping Stafford can be their next Bobby Layne


2. St. Louis Rams:
Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
Huge hole at left tackle with release of Orlando Pace


3. Kansas City Chiefs:
Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest
The NFL's 31st-ranked defense needs a playmaker


4. Seattle Seahawks:
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
Seahawks desperate for a threatening offensive weapon


5. Cleveland Browns:
B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College
Success starts with run defense in AFC North


6. Cincinnati Bengals:
Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
Bengals need WR/KR to replace T.J. Houshmandzadeh


7. Oakland Raiders:
Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
Raiders need more weapons to give QB Russell a chance


8. Jacksonville Jaguars:
Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
Jaguars allowed 42 sacks last season


9. Green Bay Packers:
Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU
Going to a 3-4, the Packers get best 3-4 DE in draft


10. San Francisco 49ers:
Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
Success has always started at QB for the 49ers


11. Buffalo Bills:
Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State
The NFL's 29th-ranked pass rush needs help


12. Denver Broncos:
Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State
Without Jay Cutler, the Broncos need a quarterback


13. Washington Redskins:
Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
Like Buffalo, the Redskins managed only 24 sacks in 2008


14. New Orleans Saints:
Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
The NFL's 23rd-ranked pass defense needs a shutdown corner


15. Houston Texans:
Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee
Pro Bowler DE Mario Williams had 12 of Texans' 25 sacks


16. San Diego Chargers:
Rey Maualuga, MLB, USC
Maualuga plays with same reckless abandon as Junior Seau


17. New York Jets:
Darius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
Jets need to replace the speed of Laveranues Coles


18. Denver Broncos:
Peria Jerry, DT, Mississippi
The NFL's 29th-ranked defense needs across-the-board help


19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
Beanie Wells, HB, Ohio State
With Gruden gone, Bucs become power-oriented on offense


20. Detroit Lions:
Ziggy Hood, DT, Missouri
Detroit's two starting DTs gone from a year ago


21. Philadelphia Eagles:
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State
Eagles lost TE L.J. Smith in free agency


22. Minnesota Vikings:
Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
Vikings need a physical presence in 18th-ranked pass defense


23. New England Patriots:
Clay Matthews, OLB, USC
Bill Belichick also coached Clay's dad at Cleveland


24. Atlanta Falcons:
Brian Cushing, OLB, USC
The Falcons lost their two starting OLBs in free agency


25. Miami Dolphins:
James Laurinaitis, MLB, Ohio State
Give him a month and Laurinaitis will be running Miami D


26. Baltimore Ravens:
Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
Another gift for the Ravens – great player, bad workout


27. Indianapolis Colts:
Knowshown Moreno, HB, Georgia
Joseph Addai can't stay healthy, so help is on the way


28. Philadelphia Eagles:
LeSean McCoy, HB, Pittsburgh
McCoy is a clone of Brian Westbrook


29. New York Giants:
Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi
Gives Giants the luxury of moving Dave Diehl back to G


30. Tennessee Titans:
Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers
Deep speed eases pressure on Pro Bowl RB Chris Johnson


31. Arizona Cardinals:
Donald Brown, HB, Connecticut
NFL's worst rushing attack gets a boost


32. Pittsburgh Steelers:
Alex Mack, C, California
Steelers need to re-establish identity as running team


Personally I think Josh Freeman has potential but would rather draft ILB Rey Maualuga and Peria Jerry. NT and a nasty LB who reminds me of Al Wilson would do wonders for our DEFENSE!!!


What does anyone think of his draft?

[Bronco-24]

And I thought it was bad when you posted all of YOUR mocks. Now you post everyone Else's on the internet

Rick Gosselin is an idiot. We would NEVER and I mean NEVER pass on Orakpo for Freeman.

[WestwoodsBronco]

RE-TAR-TED

Dont get me wrong i love Josh Freeman but why in the world would we get a qb when we traded Jay Cutler(Specifically Because Chicago had Kyle ORton) to chicago...if we were to get a QB in the draft. we wouldnt have traded him to chicago for the 18th overall. we would have traded him to cleveland or detroit or at least some team with a higher pick...just stupid...although i like the second pick

Gosselin has one of the best % of right players in his mock drafts. I thought it was interesting.


No???

[SheerCold]

He should find a new job if he thinks the Broncos will take a QB at pick 12.

[Sequence]

Rich-Whozit? god that is the lamest pick yet...

Freeman??

No???

there is no way in heck that we let orakpo fall to us and instead get a qb mcdaniels won't even like. its brian freakin orakpo, i'd be suprised if he falls out of the top 5.

[Ohenhen12345]

Freeman is a good QB that is projected to go late first round, but for the Broncos to pass on Orakpo and etc for freeman is crazy, they say cocaine is one hell of a drug.

[Goatmaster]

seems ok until the packers.

tyson jackson wont go in the first round
maybin wont go before orakpo
broncos wont draft a quarterback that doesnt fit our system when we have two that could do well
buccaneers will get earnest graham back they dont need a RB
jenkins wont last that long

any questions?

This is the only thing I don't agree with.

understandable, i dont even really believe it but i dont think he has first round quality stats, workouts, or potential

[Bronco-24]

I see what you mean. I feel the same way. I don't think he has the "talent" to be taken in the first round but chances are that he will.

No???

His "final" mock is the one to pay attention to. You are absolutely correct when you say he's one of the more accurate predictors in the business, though that still only averages out to 1-2 more correct picks then most other mainstream mockers, and probably about a 35% ratio at best (I am just guessing that percentage).

I have watched his mocks for a couple of years. He has a pretty good sense. I hope he is wrong with Josh Freeman.

Give me Rey Maualuga and Peria Jerry. If Bj is gone.

Good Lord.

If we passed on Orakpo for Freeman I think I'd lose my freaking mind.

Couple of things:

No way Orakpo is still there at 12.

I like Freeman okay, I can see taking him in the third round if the draft falls perfectly (we get 3 top-of-the-board defensive players) and our next defensive player would be a reach in the 3rd round. In other words, if Freeman is the best player available in the 3rd round, fine.
