Riley Cooper piece from ESPN

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=5117688

snippet:
Suddenly, it seems as if Florida wide receiver prospects, who rarely fulfilled anticipated potential, are viewed in a more favorable light. The exploits of Harvin and Murphy, as Cooper noted, haven't hurt. Nor has the flattering assessment of Cooper by Murphy done any harm to the draft status of the latest Gators' standout pass-catcher.

"He's big, quick, catches the ball and blocks," said Murphy recently of Cooper. "What else can you want in a wide receiver?"

Perhaps if NFL scouts had their druthers, Cooper would be a few tenths of a second faster, having clocked a 4.55-second time at the combine and a 4.48 in private workouts. But he plays faster than his stopwatch speed and is surprisingly fluid for his size (6-foot-3-⅜, 219 pounds). He typically gets a clean release from the line of scrimmage, is regarded by NFL scouts as sneaky fast on deep boundary routes, is an aggressive blocker, and tracks the ball well because of his baseball background (as an outfielder, he was drafted by Philadelphia in the 15th round in 2006 and by Texas in the 25th round last year).

"You don't have to tell him stuff twice," said Meyer, who has rated Cooper the best-blocking wide receiver he has ever coached. "And you usually don't have to ask him to do something, because he's ready to do it anyway, you know?"

That includes off the field as well.

Cooper, 22, is a regular at the Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Fla., where he has spent time with dozens of kids undergoing chemotherapy. A few years ago, Cooper honored the request of Kayleey Cooper -- a young cystic fibrosis patient who had chosen the Florida wide receiver as his favorite player -- to meet him. Two weeks later, Kayleey passed away. Riley Cooper, unable to serve as a pallbearer because of a commitment to the Gators baseball team, sent flowers.

"You just try to do the right thing, whatever the [undertaking]," Cooper said.

The right thing in the NFL could be playing slot receiver, where -- because of his size, knack of avoiding the initial jam, short-area quickness and ability to work adroitly between the hashes -- Cooper might evolve into an excellent inside No. 3 receiver. Defensive backs have a difficult time matching up with Cooper and, aside from some mental lapses catching the too-easy pass at times, he has good, usually sure hands.

Unlike many prospects in the 2010 draft, he has played special teams (the thankless gunner role to be exact), which should be appealing to most teams.

"I don't mind getting my hands a little dirty," Cooper said.

I believe he is going to be a player.

The Browns of Cleveland select Andre Roberts WR The Citadel . The Brown's are looking for tough minded players to turn it around after they fire Mangini .

I'm away from my big board for a bit while I visit Aria at hospital with our boy.

I'll be back in an hour or so to make the Giants pick.

I did have McCoy and Dickerson on top on my list so I'll have to rethink.
 
After reviewing our draft board we are excited to still have one of our highly ranked TEs still on the board.

A very good pass catching TE who can create match up problems for the defense, the Giants select....

Ed Dickson, TE, Oregon

after steelb we need to pick for the falcons.

So far they have:

19.) Atlanta Falcons - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
83.) Atlanta Falcons - Eric Decker, WR, Minnesota
98.) Atlanta Falcons - Mitch Petrus, G, Arkansas
117.) Atlanta Falcons - Dekoda Watson, LB, Florida State

#1 - Defensive End | #2 - Outside Linebacker | #3 - CenterAnalysis Other than John Abraham, who is getting older and has had some issues with durability, the Falcons do not have another starting-caliber pass rusher. Veteran Mike Peterson is going to be 34-years-old next season and is not the long-term solution on the weakside. In the pivot Todd McClure is merely average, at best.
 
Who do I PM my selection board to? steel b, rmartin and super mario are all picking in front of my so it'd probably be pretty dumb to send it to one of them. :)
 
The Tennesee Tacks select Nolan Carroll CB/S Maryland

Carroll is a very talented CB who has great size and speed. He broke his ankle last season or he wouldn't be available.
 
The Houston Texans Select:

Ben Burney
Cornerback
Colorado
5'11"
202 lbs
40 Time: 4.38

Prolly would have taken this guy in the 6th, but since we arent going more than 5 rounds I wanted to get people up to speed on this little known prospect. But I am fine taking him in the 5th as well. Blazing speed. Good size. Started at safety, but moved to corner his Junior year. At least should be a ST standout.

152.) Cincinnati Bengals - Ole Miss Texan

Little known is right..... thanks for the heads up on him, I'll check him out.
 
The Pittsgurgh Steelers select Marcus Easley WR Connecticut.

I watched Easley tear up WVU's DB's last year. I hope if Easley falls this far the Texans draft him. He's a big fast raw guy. Easley is a smarter version of J.Jones.
 
Via PM, Ole Miss selects Tony Moeaki, TE, Iowa

I have a need at TE. After picking up Hernandez in the 2nd, I double up on the position in the 5th. Moeaki is a complete TE that offers great value. Should be a good battle for the starter position.

I can't wait to see how our mock stacks up to the real thing.

LOL, on a sidenote, I was just on the ABC 13 draft commercial. They must feel how stoked I am about tomorrow!

Here is alot of info about him if anyone is interested.

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/565767?tag=pageRow;pageContainer

03/13/2010 - PRO DAY RESULTS: University of Colorado cornerback Ben Burney may have boosted his chances of securing gainful employment after graduation, clocking 4.38 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the school's pro day. Burney, who did not participate in the NFL Scouting Combine, was impressive in all of the skills and his performance elevated him from a free agent to a low draft choice. Scouts from seven NFL teams watched Burney and 11 other Colorado players work out indoors on FieldTurf on Wednesday, after they were treated to a magnificent rocky mountain lunch. Burney (5-foot-10 5/8, 202 pounds) ran 4.38 and 4.45 in the 40, had a 39-inch vertical leap, 10-foot, 1-inch broad jump, 4.15 short shuttle, 6.71 three-cone drill and 16 reps in the bench press. - Gil Brandt, NFL.com


The son of Washington Redskins defensive line coach Jacob Burney (re-joining former long-time Broncos boss Mike Shanahan), this Colorado defensive back was a bit under the radar after missing the 2008 season due to injury. Now scouts are very interested in acquiring his services.
Burney stayed in-state to play for the Buffaloes, earning playing time in 11 games as a true freshman, making six tackles and intercepting a pass against New Mexico State. He took part in all 12 games in 2006, getting two starts at free safety and racking up 23 stops, one for loss.
Moving to corner for his junior year, he started every game, made 55 tackles and broke up eight passes. He missed the entire 2008 season due to surgeries on both shoulders and wrists, but came back with a vengeance in '09: 73 tackles, three for loss, sack, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), four pass breakups, two forced fumbles. With safety size and corner speed, scouts really started buzzing about Burney after his exceptional pro day (4.39-second 40-yard dash, 39-inch vertical) showed off his athleticism. If doctors sign off on his shoulders, wrists and knee (high school injury), then this son of a coach could find himself one of the draft's surprise picks as a versatile defensive back (zone corner/free safety) and special teams contributor.
 
Looks like I got us a good value in the first few rounds with Mathews, Spievey and Burnett. Jones was a round early, and Burney was an UDFA who signed with CLE.
 
Well, our picks are unfortunately off because of trades that happened close to the draft or during the draft. But here goes mine - Nailed one pick dead on, and got another a round early. Some were GREAT picks compared to the real Draft and some were terrible. 5 years from now I'm sure we'll all come back and view if our picks would have turned out better;)

I'm only going to show picks in similar rounds.

Now, the Dolphins and Jets made trades after I had made picks for them that changed their needs. I had high needs for WR for both of these teams and they solved those needs via trade. The Jets also traded Leon Washington and nabbed McKnight to replace him. I didn't foresee that.

Dolphins
Actual Picks
28 - Jared Odrick, DT
40 - Koa Misi, DE
73 - John Jerry, OG
119 - A.J. Edds, LB
145 - Nolan Carrol, CB

My picks and where they ended up.
12 - 15 - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE
43 - 77 - Damian Williams, WR
73 - 135 - Dominique Franks, CB
110 - 95 - Jimmy Graham TE
145 - 56 - Mike Neal, DT

Carolina Panthers
Actual Picks
48 - Jimmy Clausen, QB
78 - Brandon Lafell, WR
89 - Armanti Edwards, QB
124 - Eric Norwood, LB

My Picks and where they ended up.
48 - 91 - Navorro Bowman, LB
78 - 52 - Jason Worilds, DE
112 - UDFA - Jeff Byers, OG

NY Jets

My Picks
29 - 39 - Arrelious Benn, WR
61 - 109 - Corey Wootton, DE
124 - 220 - Jamar Chaney, ILB

Oh well. Didn't do so good, I guess. At least most of my guys got drafted. :)

Sweet, even better! LOL

Denver was easily my "best" result for the mock draft as compared to the actual draft. In the end, it really depends on the play of the prospects. Doesn't matter where they were drafted in real life it just matters how they perform. Grabbing a guy in the 2nd that actually went in the 1st can still prove to be a terrible selection if he busts out. Likewise if we "reach" for a guy but he performs like he should have be drafted in that spot... that's just called good foresight, scouting and/or luck.
