1st Round Mock Draft - Updated

[Den615]

1. no one in the nfl would be stupid enough to trade their 1st for quinn
There is already atleast one team offering a 1st for Quinn
2. everyone is saying now that orakpo is too stiff in coverage, no.3 is way too high for a one-dimensional linebacker
I agree, but he is still likely a top 5 pick, and the chiefs need a pass rushing OLB for their 3-4
3. nfl teams have players visit to get some questions about the players answered, not because they will def draft them, andre smith did 19 reps without a shirt on, showing the world how fat and out of shape he is, bengals wont draft him
Bengals have a huge need at tackle, and smith's stock really hasnt fallen that far. He is still likely a top 10 pick
4. jaguars have alot of problems, running back is not one of them, and wells is not a cant miss talent
I mostly agree with you, but stranger things have happened. If it was my mock they would take a reciever here
5. san diego is not dumb enough to take a weak, unmotivated, DE like jackson with no stats, workouts, or measurables that come close to justifying this idiotic selection. only a select few ignorant bronco fans are that pathetic.
San Diego has a huge need on the d-line, this is great value for Tyson Jackson, and unless Michael Oher is availible expect the Chargers to take the best 3-4 DE in the draft
6. again, no one in the nfl is stupid enough to trade their 1st for quinn
Read my comment on Quinn above
7. broncos have bigger needs than an ilb who cant cover. dj can play we all know that, larsen turned one of the worst run defenses in the nfl into a first class run defense against some of the leagues best running backs, and you want maualuga? a free lancing, overpersuing, cant wrap up or cover linebacker? im sick of this draft, peace out
They need a run stopping ILB, Andra Davis is a decent starter, but not the long term option. Spencer Larsen is good depth, but not a starter. He is smaller, slower, and less explosive than Maualuga

Sorry, you really dont know what you are talking about

Here is some of your answers.


National Football Post - " Josh Freeman of Kansas State is hot right now for a lot of teams. I had one personnel man tell me that he really believes Freeman will be a top-10 pick. Stafford, Mark Sanchez and Freeman might all be top-10 picks"

Josh Freeman invited to NFL DRAFT.

Lombardi reports he is hearing from multiple league sources that the Browns have a first round pick on the table for Quinn, but may be looking for more. Two teams are currently interested in Quinn’s services.

2 Teams willing to trade 1st Round Pick!!!!

I actually think it is a pretty good mock. Quinn is going to be traded, and detroit would be a likely destination, and if Stafford falls that far there would certainly be teams trying to trade up to get him.

The trades are hard to predict, but this is just about as likely as any mock with trades I've seen

OK, fine, here are some glaring problems...

If Stafford falls to eight, how can the Jaguars trade with the Redskins instead of taking Stafford themselves? They need a quarterback a lot more than the skins.

Also can anyone find me a bit of evidence suggesting that San Fran likes Josh Freeman? He's way overvalued at that pick. If Sanchez is off the board at that point, which actually might be possible, they'll go after something else.

And there is no way that Raji falls to #12. Bank on it.

Thank you. Trades are hard to predict but last year there were 5 trades in the 1st Round. I am sure this year will be the same.

This is without a doubt one of the worst mocks I have ever seen. Way too much going on... you're banking on a lot of unlikely things.

What is unlikely???

If you were Detroit and you could trade your 20th Pick for Brady Quinn and save MILLIONS and then draft Left Tackle with the 1st Pick. I think this is no brainer.

Here is a link of rumors.

With the news of Zach Thomas signing with The Chiefs and Byron Leftwich signing with Tampa Bay that the 1st Round is going to look alot different than most people have thought.


There are also rumors of Brady Quinn getting traded for a mid 1st Round Pick. My guess is Detroit. I am going to project this in this draft.
