Quick top 10 mock

i disagree with that. while he's played more OLB than ILB, i think he has that body-to-the-ball mentality of a ILB. it's a learning experience for him this year, and by season's end, he'll look like an all-american. his versatility will go a long way with NFL teams.

He may have the mentality, but so does Ryans. They are built very similar with Ryan having the advantage athleticly. I love how he plays, but we already have our version. We need a young Sharper.
 
Merriweather is pretty good....He is a beast against the pass and he is a beast against the run...I don't know what else you could want out of a safety...

Look at it like this:

Merriwether is not as good as Landry, who is not as good as ST was at Miami.

ST went #5 to the Skins.

Landry is the best FS available, but he is not in the same class as ST was. Landry does not deserve top 10. Merriwether does not deserve top 15.

I haven't seen Landry play...I've been told he is good....

I have however seen Merriweather play...
Merriwether can cover the slot...play deep halves...and come up and absolutely stuff the run...IMO, thats as complete as it gets...

and IF Landry is better than him....

I think he is worth a top ten....

Sean Taylor is a whole different animal...He could have probably went top ten as a linebacker....

Landry is good, but he is not amazing. His reads on the ball are poor and he often turns his hips the wrong way. He also goes for the man first instead of the ball.

i said sean taylor was the best prospect i've ever seen before the draft. never seen a safety dominate a game like he did at miami. he was always at the ball--ALWAYS. you threw the ball anywhere near him and it was intercepted. period. completely unbeatable.

however he's been somewhat of a disappointment in the NFL. gets beat on the pass way too often. he's still a top safety though, so maybe my expectations were just a tad bit too high.
 
you need a lot of things. safety being one of them.

put posluszny in front of ted washington and watch him sew up the ROTY easily. they need that tedy bruschi type for romeo crennel's defense. rice is playing very well, he's just in an offense that's going through all kinds of things right now. spurrier is implementing something he's never had before, which is a zone-read type of thing. once rice has his combine.....all discussion is over, he goes top 10.

Safety isn't a huge need for us. We will probably need a SS if we don't resign Parrish at the end of the season. So i doubt we take Landry since he is a FS, but if we do draft a safety in round 1 I'd imagine Michael Griffin is a top priority.

Posluzny isn't having a good year so far at PSU, so i doubt he goes in the top 10. Also, Cleveland doesn't really need an ILB, they have Andra Davis who is good and just drafted D'Qwell Jackson this past draft.

Also, it doesn't matter what is going on with Rice's system. Bottom line, if your not tearing it up in college your not gonna be a top 10 pick.

Safety is a BIG concern for us (as other places)

We cant cover the deep route, they miss tackles and CC and Earl are basically the same guy. We need a playmaker in the S position, someone who can cover and not get burned on deep passes.

The guy from "The U" could be that guy for us.

you don't go by "huge need" in the first round, it's pure BPA (or if you're smart that's what you do). he'd be a major upgrade over mike adams, plain and simple.

posluzsny isn't having the same year as last year, but he's getting better, and considering he's coming off of a knee injury and adjusting to a new position, it's looking like he'll be in top form near season's end.

and that's a pretty ridiculous thing to say. when rice is thrown the ball he catches it, plain and simple. scouts aren't stupid, they see what's wrong with USC's offense. they know he's the same player everyone was in awe over last year. he's still going to run a 4.3 40 at the combine. he's going top 10.
 
I doubt Calvin Johnson goes first only because WR's so rarely go first. In fact it has only happened twice, if I remember correctly. Also I think Tennessee will draft Peterson if given the chance. Just a gut feeling I have. My favorite is the Raiders passing up a QB again when they need a QB more than anything. Aaron Brooks will take them nowhere.
history doesn't mean anything here. not too many DE's went first. and san francisco never took a QB in the top 10, so naturally there was no way they would take alex smith, right? tennessee goes BPA, and the BPA happens to be calvin johnson. simple. and i don't think brady quinn or drew stanton fits the raider mystique for QB's, so they'll stick with walter. brooks sucks obviously, he's not even part of the equation.

Well actually in your mock we didn't take the BPA or choose by need. Quentin Moses > LaRon Landry and that would fill a need. Why Moses wasn't in your mock is beyond me.

Posluzny is slightly better with the brace on, but if he continues how he has been playing all season so far he could even fall out of round 1 completely.

Well Rice isn't having that good of a year and even I am suprised that you think by just running a 4.3 he is top 10 lock. Since he has been so unimpressive this year, chances are he will stay in school at least one more year.
 
If Landry is gone, I just can't see us taking Meriweather with a top ten pick. We'd either trade or pick a different position. There is no way he is worth a top ten pick.

i don't know after watching Gains Adams today, I would have no problem if they went in that direction. I'm pretty much convinced that the Peek/Babin experiment is headed fo file thirteen. I know it's bad double dipping postions in back to back years. But it would put a great pressure on most offensive lines.

you're acting like he's having a horrible year. he's still catching everything thrown his way, and he's still averaging 16 yards per catch (same as last year). he's going to put up very good numbers at the combine and he'll go top 10. he's on pace for far better numbers this year than troy williamson's junior year at USC. he left early, had a great combine and was the first receiver drafted in '05.

The 1 catch he had against Kentucky sure is gonna lock him up a top 10 spot. :rolleyes:
 
Oakland will take a QB with there pick, pretty simple.

Tennessee could use a WR, or an OL

I don't like this top 10 list at all, but that's just me...
 
Roughly the Top 10 right now:

1. Oakland - Brady Quinn - He will go #1. 9/10, QB's will go #1.
2. Tennessee - Calvin Johson - Perfect pick for Vince to play with.
3. Detroit - Quentin Moses - Corey Redding just isnt getting it done.
4. Tampa Bay - Joe Thomas - Need help on the o-line. None better.
5. HOUSTON - ADRIAN PETERSON - Can run inside, and outside.
6. Miami - Ted Ginn Jr. - Down field threat for the Duante bomb.
7. Pittsburgh - Gaines Adams - Say hello to the next 3-4 Pitt Linebacker.
8. Cleveland - Levi Brown - Could be the anchor they've needed on that line.
9. Green Bay - Justin Blalock - Can play OT, and OG.
10. Arizona - Laron Landry - Great ball hawking safety.

As for the safeties. I think Michael Griffin should be in the top 3 mix.
 
Quentin Moses is not playing very well this year. Tennessee stoned his @#$ every damn play.
 
If we are picking around 4 or 5 I think we should trade down to 10-15 and take one of the top 3 safeties or or Linebackers and maybe pick up an extra 3rd or second rounder...

I would like to see the Texans maximize value & trade down but in small steps meaning one - two picks at a time that way they stay in control of the guy they have targeted. for instance two years ago it was thought by some when they traded three spots down that they would then take Derrick Johnson, but two picks later KC took him right before the Texans had another chance. while the Texans added a 3rd rd pick (Eric Winston) & rotational DT (Travis Johnson) they missed out on a starting OLB.

So I would hate to see the Texans trade out of position where they miss they're guy, but I favor adding picks by swapping if the next team or two selecting really wants that pick & Smith/Kubiak feel its safe they're guy will still be there :shades:
 
using Super Mario's draft order:

1. Oakland - Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville - honestly i'm not too convinced that al davis takes a QB here, because he's so anti-1st round QB's (as i said before this year's draft), but what the hey, there's not many other options here. if the rumors are true about randy moss and jerry porter being traded, then they take calvin johnson, end of story. and i don't think al davis likes brady quinn; seems like a "pretty boy." brohm is tough and has a great arm
2. Tennessee - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech - tennessee has david givens and drew bennett, but whatever. johnson would be be the best WR on that team instantly. and vince young will need all the help he can get
3. Detroit - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame - a true terror in mike martz's system. i'm pretty sure matt millen will be gone when this pick is made, thank god
4. Tampa Bay - Joe Thomas, T, Wisconsin - they drafted jeremy trueblood in the 2nd round this past year, and he played great in his NFL debut yesterday, but joe thomas is a francise left tackle. move trueblood to RT (where he probably belongs anyway) and protect bruce gradkowski's backside. thomas played TE as a freshman, and even dabbled some at DE. real athletic
5. Houston - LaRon Landry, S, LSU - best safety in the draft? well that's the general consensus now, so i'm pluggin' him in here.
6. Miami - Jared Gaither, T, Maryland - check this out...6'9 350lbs, ran a 4.75 40 at his JC combine as a 330lb TE. athletic freak. nick saban loves those. especially at tackle, where he's taken two such players in the draft who have abnormally high agility for tackles. he takes the BIG one here. LJ Shelton is a piece of ****, he can't protect anything, horrible signing, and this makes up for that.
7. Pittsburgh - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma - i seriously doubt pittsburgh ends up here, but whatever. willie parker is nice, but he's not THAT nice. bill cowher lucks out here and takes peterson.
8. Cleveland - Sam Baker, T, USC - an unprecedented 3rd o-tackle drafted in the top 10. baker is great. not as freaky as thomas or gaither, but just as solid and has better fundamentals. any other year he's the #1 guy.
9. Green Bay - Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina - not a bad 1-2 punch with greg jennings for aaron rodgers. marshawn lynch is also a huge possibility here.
10. Arizona - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson - arizona just can't get any pass rush on the opposition, especially not from their front 4. adams is the best in the draft. could also be moved to OLB in a 3-4 scheme.

Landry won't go top 5. Even we are that bad with our first round picks.

Gaither is only a sophomore. He is better than Thomas or Baker. Wait a year.

i agree about landry. still....meh. i dunno, had to put someone there.

gaither is a RS sophomore. he's in the larry fitzgerald situation. he could declare this year if he chooses to do so.
 
Pittsburgh will not be in the 7th position unless they trade up. Yes they have lost 3 games but those were to Jacksonville, Cincinatti and San Diego, all of which are potential playoff teams. Pittsburgh has had one of the toughest schedules so far, but they still have 2 games against the Browns, 1 against the Raiders and the Buccanneers as well. Those 4 are almost certain wins plus you know they will get some other wins as well.
Let's see...three losses came from good teams and the only win came against Miami....who are we talking about again?

I was unaware of that fact about Gaither. If this is true, I am saying screw landry or davis or anyone else. I want Gaither. He is a freaking beast. The "vernon davis" of LT's. This kid is scary good and his technique is amazing along with his agility which puts d-brick to shame...and hes much bigger.

he's definitely ridiculously talented. but one of those risk players. he's not nearly as crafted and skilled technique-wise as thomas or baker. absurd amount of potential. if he does declare, i wouldn't be surprised if, following his pro day and combine and etc, he goes ahead of joe thomas. the theme in the NFL these days is to have linemen that can move and motor. the 3-4 defenses are getting faster and faster, so the big slugs up front just arne't cutting it anymore (just look at miami's line, probably the fattest in the league. they SUCK).

This guy is a mammoth but is more athletic than Fergueson was last year. Thomas and Baker aren't little either, but Gaither is the best LT prospect in the nation IMO.

Also, watch out for Ian Symonette at Miami. He is a local kid from St. Pius X. He is 6'9 330. He is a freshman this year I believe. I worked out with him during the summer, I lined up at DE and I'm very quick off the line...he was matching me step for step and was able to lock his arms out on me a few times. He is a hoss. He is suseptible to a hard step to the outside and quick move to the inside. That is the only way I was able to beat him, and I have yet to face a LT this year that can contain me when I go to the outside. He is one to keep your eye on.
 
Going by your order I'd go with this as the probable picks:

1. Oakland - Brady Quinn. They got the worst Passing attack in the league they need a change at QB.
2. Tennessee - Calvin Johnson. This guy is too talented for the new Tennessee offense to pass up.
3. Detroit - Adrian Peterson. Detroit can't run the ball so they grab a great RB in Peterson, have Jones as a 2.
4. Tampa Bay - Ted Ginn Jr. Fast young wide reciever to benefit the lack of passing attack the Buccaneers have.
5. Houston - Joe Thomas. A true LT for a big need.
6. Miami - Quinton Moses. Miami's line is gettin old and wont be nearly as dominant in a few years without help, Moses fits well in Miami.
7. Pittsburgh - Why are they even here? Probably Leon Hall from Michigan because they could just use a talented CB.
8. Cleveland - Kenny Irons because Cleveland has a bad rushing attack.
9. Green Bay - LaRon Landry. Safety help at an appopriate spot.
10. Arizona - Levi Brown. Proven tackle who will anchor Arizona's line for years

I like this effort!

1. Oakland - Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville Sure seems like Al Davis does'nt it? Could be a similar situation to the Texans last year with no trading partners stepping up to the plate so they take "their guy" & make a "football decision".

2. Tennessee - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech Love this kid, he should be the 1st overall pick (but we all know how that goes too) work ethic, athletic abiltiy & intangibles. Paired with Vince Young........should be outlawed.

3. Detroit - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame Kinda reminds me of Joey Harrington (must have been the coaching) seriously another QB & in the #3 position again? well he is a golden domer & his sister is hot....too bad she is married to GB's middle linebacker.

4. Tampa Bay - Joe Thomas, T, Wisconsin - His knee injury is a concern to me, take the Texans for example they drafted Eric Winston one year removed from similar injury and has yet to see any action (before the injury @ Miami he was considered a consensus top 10 pick too) & dont remind me our own starting, rookie LT from Pitt Charles Spencer has suffered the same fate. Here I might trade up with Detroit and pick Quinn, Lions have multiple needs while Tampa needs a QB.

5. Houston - LaRon Landry, S, LSU - Is this not where Sean Taylor went a couple years ago? has he achieved the desired results? This should be another character pick for Kubiac & Smith so I'm not as high as others on this pick seems like more of a pure need play than the bpa. So if Adrien Peterson is still on the board its time to bring this bad boy home. Nothing, & I mean nothing would help David Carr more than a potent running attack. The Texans are desperate to provide help & this would certainly provide it.

6. Miami - Jared Gaither, T, Maryland Sabin also wants to establish the ground game & they already have Ronnie Brown, they need to address the O-Line.

7. Pittsburgh - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma Gone. Sorry. Big Ben needs another target to throw to, not to mention return duties on special teams. What about Ted Ginn here?

8. Cleveland - Sam Baker, T, USC or they would prefeer Joe Thomas.

9. Green Bay - Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina They need to rebuild the OL & the best way to start would be the best tackle available in this case it would be Justin Blalock, yeh ya gotta bite the bullet someday.

10. Arizona - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson fills a need and is the best of the group.

:tease:
 
Yeah that'll be a hoot alright. Needed a left tackel since Bosselli spit the bit. One goes infront of us. One goes behind us. Maybe Landry's so good he can cover both positions. :bowser:

Talk about in the media all the time. If Detroit did draft Quinn here, he would be playing against his brother-in-law twice a year.
 
Here is Mel Kiper's top 10 as of now

http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/insider/columns/story?columnist=kiper_jr_mel&id=2621041

1. Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame (6-3½, 225) | previous: Same
Poised, smart and at his best in pressure situations. After a comeback against Michigan State, Quinn had solid outings against Purdue and Stanford.


2. Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin (6-6½, 313) | previous: Same
Huge, quick and athletic with a long wingspan.


3. Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson (6-4½, 260) | previous: Same
Flashes dominating ability with his athleticism and quickness.


4. Leon Hall, CB, Michigan (5-11, 193) | previous: 7
Tough customer who also shows very good anticipation and awareness in coverage.


5. Quentin Moses, DE, Georgia (6-4, 254) | previous: 4
Mature, hard working and explosive off the edge.


6. Levi Brown, OT, Penn St. (6-4½, 325) | previous: 5
Steady and reliable at protecting the quarterback's blind side.


7. Kenny Irons, RB, Auburn (5-10½, 199) | previous: 6
Deceptively strong with great vision and balance. Another chance to shine this week against Florida's defense.


8. Quinn Pitcock, DT, Ohio St. (6-3, 297) | previous: 9
Run-stuffing dynamo who does a great job of clogging the interior.


9. Jeff Samardzija, WR, Notre Dame (6-4½, 215) | previous: 11
Super hands and concentration with outstanding speed-to-size ratio.


10. LaRon Landry, DB, LSU (6-1½, 205) | previous: Same
Four-year starter who has proven to be Mr. Reliable throughout his career
 
What position would ya'll prefer to pick in the 1st round, I would think everyone would say we need D the most. My guess is LB in the 2nd or 3rd and FS or CB in the 1st. Leon Hall/Landry sound like they deserve some extra glances. A couple offensive linemen would also be good as always in the later rounds.
