2007 Member Mock Draft

[kastofsna]

okay folks, let's see if we can get enough participation for this.

basically, we need 31 participants. each member will select a team to draft for. we will use the current draft order and actually start a draft, starting with the Oakland Raiders, all the way to the San Diego Chargers. the Seahawks don't have a first round pick, so we'll exclude them for now. if everything goes through as planned, maybe we can go to the 2nd round, why not? we could probably do this several times leading up to the draft, too. it'll be FUN!

since it'll take some time to get everyone to pick their team, and at the risk of some people just not being around for when their team picks, i'll give each pick a 12-hour window. after that, i'll just make the pick, and if i'm not around....uh...someone else will. okay, so here's the teams. naturally, i'm picking the dolphins

1. Oakland - Heywood - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
2. Detroit - mexican_texan - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
3. Cleveland - beerlover - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
4. Tampa Bay - Honoring Earl 34 - Joe Thomas, T, Wisconsin
5. Arizona - Hoth-Boy - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
6. Washington - Battle Red Flash - Alan Branch, DT, Michigan
7. Minnesota - htownfoozball - Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC
8. Houston - xtruroyaltyx - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
9. Miami - kastofsna - Ted Ginn, Jr, WR, Ohio State
10. Atlanta - Texian - Reggie Nelson, S, Florida
11. San Francisco - jjcorvallis - LaRon Landry, S, LSU
12. Buffalo - threetoedpete - Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
13. St. Louis - Bubbajwp - Patrick Willis, LB, Ole Miss
14. Carolina - LORK 88 - Paul Posluzny, LB, PSU
15. Pittsburgh - HomeBred_Texan - Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal
16. Green Bay - TexanFan881 - Michael Bush, RB, Louisville
17. Jacksonville - TEXANS84 - Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh
18. Cincinnati - Texan in Japan
19. Tennessee - Wharton
20. New York Giants - K.D.
21. Denver - Battle Red Bull
22. New England - WildBlackBear32

28. New England - WildBlackBear32
29. Indianapolis - DenverBorn
30. Baltimore - STEEL BLUE TEXANS
31. Chicago - awtysst

i'll edit this and add names to those who pick teams. also, if it winds up being necessary, we may have to give people multiple teams. anyway, let's see how this turns out.

 

[beerlover]

I'm in. take the Browns

 

[real]

I take the Texans

 

[LORK 88]

I'll take Carolina, my 2nd favorite team.

 

[Honoring Earl 34]

I'll take Tampa Bay .

 

[mexican_texan]

I shall take the Lions.

 

[WildBlackBear32]

If this takes place before Jan 15th, I'll take the Patriots.

 

[kastofsna]

If this takes place before Jan 15th, I'll take the Patriots.

well there's no guarantee how long it'll take. maybe you should take a team that picks lower.

 

[WildBlackBear32]

By takes place, I mean starts. My mistake. As long as it gets rolling by Jan 15th, I shouldnt have a problem making the picks.

 

[Heywood]

i'll do oakland- i know them pretty well.

 

[kastofsna]

i'll do oakland- i know them pretty well.

just remember, you could be on the clock soon.

 

[Errant Hothy]

I'm game, as always, and I'll take Arizona.

 

[Heywood]

just remember, you could be on the clock soon.

the first 5 picks of this draft are absolute stone-cold locks, presuming russell comes out.

 

[Texian]

Im in, I'll take Atlanta.

 

[Wharton]

Since it may be a hard sell to someone, I'll take Tennesse this round.

If we do multiple 1st round drafts, I'd like to switch each draft.

At the very least, it'll give me an opportunity to size up the competition.

I think we should make a rule though. When you pick, you must explain why you think your team should take a particular player. The explanation doesn't have to be big, just informative.

For instance, Lets say the first pick is Adrian Peterson, reason, Raider's were the 4th worst running offense in 2006, Peterson is the best running back in the draft.

Just keep it simple.

 

[LORK 88]

BTW kastofsna, if there are any letover teams at the end, I'll take some extras if its cool. Ive been doing mocks for afew years now so it wouldnt be a problem.

 

[htownfoozball]

ill take minny

 

[stingray]

i'll take the Skins

thanks, but we'll take OL in round 2 and perhaps 3 as well. our RBs are way above-average. we need OL, QB and a WR.

 

[TexansLucky13]

I take the Texans

Please don't draft a QB in the first....

 

[thunderkyss]

I'll thake the Big Easy...... NOLA.

 

[real]

Please don't draft a QB in the first....

 

[TEXANS84]

Jags please

 

[Texans Horror]

Cowboys

 

[TexanFan881]

I'll take the Packers

 

[stingray]

Hey guys, Sorry but I thought the draft was gonna happen within the next Hour, I gotta go to work. If someone can take the Skins for me...

 

[Brandyon]

nevermind

 

[kastofsna]

Hey guys, Sorry but I thought the draft was gonna happen within the next Hour, I gotta go to work. If someone can take the Skins for me...

really no timetable when it'll happen.

 

[threetoedpete]

I'll be a filler. If you give me two find two back to back please.

 

[jjcorvallis]

I'll take San Francisco.

 

[kastofsna]

just a few more...

 

[DenverBorn]

I will take Indianapolis. Also -

When is the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft? I'd like to suggest that if it's just a few days off, we wait to see what is the total pool of players. But I'll go with whatever the draft commissioner decides -

 

[Bubbajwp]

Ill take the rams.

 

[Mr. White]

Put me down for Denver

 

[Battle Red Flash]

I'll take the Skins.

Assign me another team if you need to. I'll take another to help out.

 

[Heywood]

i'm ready if you guys want to get started ...

 

[kastofsna]

well, i'd like to get someoen signed up for buffalo at least...

 

[threetoedpete]

I'll take Buffalo, can I have chicago also ?

 

[kastofsna]

we'll start adding second teams later on.

okay, i think we're ready to start. remember, tell us what team you're drafting with, the player, his position, the school, and why you're picking him.

Heywood, you're on the clock.

 

[awtysst]

Since Chicago is still there, can I take my adopted NFC team.

 

[threetoedpete]

lol grr, best TE on the board @ 2

 

[kastofsna]

Since Chicago is still there, can I take my adopted NFC team.

yessir.

 

[Heywood]

With the first pick in the HT.COM Member Mock Draft, Da Oakland Raydahs take JaMarcus Russell, QB, Louisiana State University.

(with all due respect to Calvin Johnson, who "should" have been the pick were either of Aaron Brooks or Andrew Walter anything but completely worthless.)

 

[K.D.]

Count me in, i'll take the G-men.

 

[kastofsna]

mexican_texan, you're up.

i'll add the drafted player to the original post.

 

[threetoedpete]

12 hours ? hmmm

 

[kastofsna]

the wait will be painful.

 

[mexican_texan]

Lions. Guess who....Calvin Johnson. Matt Millen will get a lot of heat for this, but you can't pass up a talent like him. He'll shatter all of Holt's numbers.

 

[Heywood]

the wait will be painful.

if it's not a sticky it will probably die

 

[HomeBred_Texan]

I will take Pitt if no one else has...
