Decided to make on with Cutler at pick #4. Looks more and more like the Jets want him and if that really makes things look interesting.

Also decided to go with a couple picks that could very well happen but aren't that common. Holmes to Tampa and Maroney to Carolina.

Thanks for making it the featured draft as well!! :P

A terrific effort, it took you a long time.

1-13, are different, but picks I could see happening.

The Eagles- Justice pick is different, never seen it before.

I can't see the Dolphins going Hill over Cromartie.

I can't see Addai in the first.

Other than that, it's good.

i dont think cutler will go to the jets.....new york renegotiated with pennington

...tye hill should be going over cromartie....hill ran like a 4.37 at the combine

GREAT EXPLANATIONS

i think denver will take pope with their 22nd pick now that putzier is gone...at 29 denver will take kiwanuka if hes available..they just realesed pryce

hill ran a 4.3 flat

[porky88]

Hill will go before Cromartie. Hill's status is skyrocketed up boards with the 4.30 flat while teams are still concerned about Cromarties legs. I like Cromartie better but most teams have Hill higher on their boards.

I made the draft before Pennington signed his deal. To be honest I don't like Cutler there but the Jets love him to death. In my explanations I said Pennington's arm is still up in the air. McNair re did his deal and the Titians are looking QB. Same thing with Jets in my opinion. Pennington is by no means a lock to come back and play at a high level. The doctor did state it was a severe injury. Note: Also understand Pennington didn't sign a long term deal. Most likley the deal is for a year or two.

Talked to Kyle about the Justice pick and he told me a friend of his who is realiable said Justice would be a great pick for the Eagles. You'll see the samething in his up and coming draft as well. Great minds think alike!!8)

I really played around with a lot of the picks. Might as well get prepared for Cutler going in the top 10 and maybe as high as #3.

I don't mind Holmes to Tampa, but I can see Sims coming in and starting over Nece right away.

Since when did they drop to 59 in the second? I was unaware of that. I like Joseph, so great pick there.

Good mock.

[porky88]

They were always 59 in the 2nd. The 2nd round order everyone using before was wrong.

Thanks for the feedback.

I like the draft a lot for the most part. Just a few notes:

TNMK pointed out to me that DeMeco Ryans didn't have as bad of a combine as some have made out. I went back and checked what I had on tape of him at the combine and it turns out he was right. He ran a 4.62 40. That's a tenth of a second faster than I previously thought. He's also 6'1 1/2 and 236 lbs. I think he's the best pure 4-3 LB in the draft still. He's a big playmaker and just because he wasn't too visible at the combine and Senior Bowl shouldn't downgrade him. I don't think he hurt his stock but that other prospects might have passed him. I'm putting Ryans back into the 1st round.

I'm not feeling John McCargo in the 2nd round. Scouts can love guys all throughout the draft and it doesn't push them out of the 2nd day. An overlooked fact about the NC State defense with all of their top draft prospects is that they were terrible against the run last season. Being good against the run starts up front with the DL and especially with some gap pluggers at the DT positions. I know your guy Scott Wright likes him and all, but I don't see that from McCargo at all. I'd give you 4th round...but not 2nd.

Colledge as a guard? I don't like it. A bigger and stronger DT would bowl him over. He's too small and not nearly strong enough to make up for that size. There are guards in the league that are under 300 lbs, but they have the strength to make up for it. Mark Stepnoski was an undersized interior lineman, but he was strong as an ox and was a real scrapper as well. I don't see that from Colledge. There is less technique used at the guard position than at the tackle position. Colledge has good technique and will have to stay at RT to be successful. Now I can see him possibly going to the Broncos in the last 2nd round because of their quick zone blocking scheme, but he's still a RT in that scheme as well.

Ryans doesn't play with the instincts of a Chad Greenway and isn't near as good as a tackler as him. In my opinon Ryans will drop and drop to late first, early 2nd. Greenway is just a better all around player in my opinion which makes him a perfect fit for either scheme.

I'm not feeling John McCargo in the 2nd round. Scouts can love guys all throughout the draft and it doesn't push them out of the 2nd day.

Every scouting report I read has this guy in the first day. He was actually extremly productive in college and that's what I mean when he was overlooked. The big question is whether he was productive because of Lawson and Williams. I think the Bills need him too much. He was constantly in opponents backfields making plays. Can't put the run stopping problems squarly his shoulders.

Colledge as a guard? I don't like it. A bigger and stronger DT would bowl him over. He's too small and not nearly strong enough to make up for that size. There are guards in the league that are under 300 lbs, but they have the strength to make up for it.

Now I can see him possibly going to the Broncos in the last 2nd round because of their quick zone blocking scheme, but he's still a RT in that scheme as well.

Colledge actually plays left tackle but has experience at guard. Colts have undersize guards and they like them like that. Ryan Lilja 6-2 286. Jake Scott 6-5 288. Colledge is bigger than both of them. He has extremley strong legs and holds a lot of Boise State weight room records. He's also extremley athletic. He's a good fit for the Colts. Only way that pick doesn't work is if they take the fast LB from Stanford (Alston) or the Broncos steal Colledge a pick ahead of them but I have Denver addressing their line in round 1 with Mangold.

McCargo had a great redshirt freshman year. He was very impressive. That production slumped off his soph. year and last season he suffered a stress fracture and only played 7 games. He benched 225 25 times and ran a 5.11 40. He's 6'2 and 302 lbs. I just think there are several DTs better than him. I put Dusty Dvoracek ahead of him for one. Dvoracek was the most athletic DT other than Bunkley at the combine. 6'2 306, 4.99 40, 31 reps. He was great in the drills as well. Top 5 in several of the agility drills. I think McCargo is a 2nd day guy. I haven't read many scouting reports that put him up in the 2nd round other than Scott Wright's. Most draft sites I've seen don't even say anything about him like he isn't on their radars.

I think Indy is taking a different approach towards their guards. San Diego and Pittsburgh owned them with a pass rush up the middle going right over their smaller guards. He set Boise St. records....I think that should say plenty...do you know of any other OL in the NFL from Boise State? What about many NFL players from Boise State period? Kimo von Oelhoffen comes to mind. That was like 12 years ago though.

Ryans has phenomenal instincts. I saw this 1st hand at the Cotton Bowl. He's a phenomenal pass rusher up the middle. 280 tackles in 3 years at Alabama and he doesn't have good instincts? He has better speed than Greenway and is only 6 lbs. lighter than him. Ryans had his best season as a senior and was the SEC Defensive Player of the year. Greenway does have better instincts, but I don't think they dwarf Ryans' instincts. I think they grade out close to the same and both are still 1st round selections.
