New Quick top 10 mock

AustinJB said:
By chance, did anyone happen to see Griffin this Saturday against Oklahoma St?

4 solo tackles, 1 FF, 2 QB hits, and 1 over-the-shoulder INT on a DEEP pass

http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/000_stats/06/ut10.htm#GAME.IND



Landry also played well.

5 solo, 2 assisted, 1 TFL, 1 Sack, 1 PBU

Yeah Griffin was all over the field in that game.

His Willie Mays impression on the INT was amazing.

Landry had perfect coverage on this important play and let the interception go right between his hands. He had followed a receiver(Meachem) over the middle and outjumped him but could not make the catch. Meachem ended up catching it and scoring on the play. That play put Tennesee up like 24-21 or something like that. This was in the beginning of the 4th quarter too. I was thinking that if he had made that play...he would have had a great day. I was impressed with him though. Griffin also did have a good game.
 
I do like Landry and Griffin but I am starting to hope that we get Leon Hall the CB from Michigan with our 1st round pick if we can't get clements or samuel here, if we do get either of them in free agency then I def think we should trade down and get some extra picks and get the best safety available on the board still. If we do get Hall in the 1st I would like to see us use the 2nd round pick on either a safety or LB which ever has the highest rated prospect still on the board. Imagine Hall and Robinson as our 2 starting corners with Faggins coming in on Nickel packages :drool:
 
I was at the UT vs OKST game, and Griffin is just all over the field. He will go with the top 40 picks in the draft. No doubt. He would be a perfect, late first rounder, or early 2nd rounder.

The pick was just awesome, but his nose for the ball is what makes him good. He is super athletic, and just makes plays like Huff last year.
 
This is what I want to see at this point in the year.

1. Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma (We would need a top 5 pick for this)
2. Michael Griffin, S, Texas (I think he will go top 40)
If Griffin is gone, i will take Justin Blalock, OG, Texas, or another top S.
3. Kevin Kolb, QB, Houston
4. Insert Sleeper pick from small school who can run 100MPH.
5. Mason Crosby, K, Colorado
6. Daniel Sepulveda, P, Baylor
7. Obi Oluigbo, FB, Michigan (Cook needs a push)

Not bad, but no LB and no secondary if Griffin is gone (and we need both of those.) Plus Sepulveda could be gotten in the 7th or possibly as a undrafted free agent.

I dislike the draft very much...

I doubt Griffin makes it to the second rd....

And I wouldn't be terribly upset with Peterson, but I think there would be better otions if we ended up with a top 5er...

If we're sold on Carr I don't like Kolb in the third....

And I don't like the idea of taking a kicker and punteer with two of our picks...
 
As of November 06, 2006 (if all those juniors are available):

1. Arizona - Joe Thomas-OT, Wisconsin (They need OL bad)
2. Cleveland - Adrian Peterson-HB, Oklahoma (Their current RB sucks)
3. Detroit - Brady Quinn-QB, Notre Dame (Need QB for future)
4. Miami - Calvin Johnson-WR, Georgia Tech (Need WR opposite Chambers)
5. Tennessee - Dwayne Jarrett-WR, USC (Been a bit injured this season, hasn't played to his abilities but he will have a great combine and his 2000 receiving yards he racked up in the 2 years b4 this year will get him here. You know Norm Chow likes him.)
6. Tampa Bay - Leon Hall-CB, Michigan (Ronde is getting older, and they have no good CB opposite him)
7. Oakland - Kenny Irons-RB, Auburn (LaMont Jordan is just not going to do it for this team, and they have a good backup in Justin Fargas. I c them dealing Jordan)
8. Houston - LaRon Landry-FS, LSU (Texans need a cover guy in the secondary who isn't scared to hit, Landry fits this need)
9. Buffalo - Levi Brown-OT, Penn St. (Losman has been sacked 23 times this season; more than David Carr)
10. Green Bay - Daymeion Hughes-CB, California (Green Bay's corners are getting old, and they need some youth at that spot. They could also use a SS but they are too high to grab one at this spot.)
 
IMO if Gaither or Thomas is avail @ whatever pick we have that should be the selection. 2nd round for corner 3. I agree with Kolb regardless of what Carr is doing. Give Kolb 1-2 years with clip board & then will be in 6th or 7th year. Then who is best starts. 4th. Another Davis/ Lundy pick 5th. Best linebacker or DT available.

I won't deny that Johnson is a beast I just don't see us taking another WR with a top 3 pick; too much money wrapped up in a position that is overly dependant on the QB. I say take any of the guys listed 4 through 10 or trade down. Just my take.

Are you using any other criteria for this also, because ESPN's current power rankings we are at 28 not 31. We should be drafting 5th according to it.

I like picking #5. There is no wrong pick. Hall, Gaither, Landry, all help us get better. No one is second guessing GB for taking Hawk, or SF for taking Davis. Good solid pick.
 
1. Arizona: Joe Thomas - OT, Wisconsin (best pick for them)
2. Cleveland: Calvin Johnson - WR, Georgia Tech (need help on the OL but this is BPA)
3. Oakland: Gaines Adams - DE, Clemson (need a QB but Al Davis doesnt draft them)
4. Tennessee: Daymeion Hughes - CB, California (Hall is a good pick also but they need the ballhawk more than the shutdown corner)
5. Detroit: Brian Brohm - QB, Louisville (could get Quinn also but Im more impressed with Brohm)
6. Houston: Leon Hall - CB, Michigan (I like Landry but this is the better pick here)
7. Tampa Bay: LaRon Landry - S, LSU (solid player would complement the good CBs they have)
8. Pittsburgh: Marshawn Lynch - HB, California (cant go wrong with either RB here)
9. Miami: Brady Quinn - QB, Notre Dame (they could trade up for him, but if you can get him here, you dont have to pay him as much)
10. Buffalo: Jared Gaither - OT, Maryland (physical freak, but he may not enter the draft early)
 
we better take a DB in the draft

either

landry
hughes
griffin
hall
ross (got beat acouple times tonight, might drop his stock to the 2nd to 3rd round)

i like daymeion hughes (new avatar supporting it) although he didn't have the greatest game today
 
even if he was a first rounder, getting beat a couple times in one game isn't going to drop your stock that far.

I think a LB is a bigger priority. Demeco is awesome, but Shantee Orr and Morlon Greenwood stink. At least Petey is servicable as a 2nd CB.
 
Texans aren't drafting a RB in the first round.

Kubiak likes drafting backs towards the later rounds because his system is so good he can pull it off..Wali Lundy in the sixth round last year. Plus DD will be off the IR.

Texans will draft either Leon Hall from Michigan or LaRon Landry from LSU in the first round. They cannot do anything to stop the pass.

Proof that Kubiaks is against taking a RB in the first (cause inhis first year as a HC and in control of a draft he tried his ass off to trade back into the first to draft...A RB). Now if the statement was Shannan was aginst drafting a Rb in teh first I'd but it.

And proof teh DD is going to ever be healthy again, becasue general consensus is that he is sadly done.
 
YoungTexanFan said:
I've been on his bandwagon since watching tapes of Vernon Davis last year. I just recently found out that he is indeed eligable for the NFL draft this year because he went to military school for a year, and will be 3 years removed from HS.

Now, this is a BIG 'ol boy. He can move with you though, and he has very long arms. He is about 330 I believe, but he is more athleticly gifted than Fergueson was last year or than Thomas is this year. He is the LT version of Mario athleticly, but he has already produced consistently and has yet to allow a sack.

I have been advocating picking him if he comes out for a while now, but glad to see you on board beerlover.
Click to expand...

Just the watch the Clemson vs Maryland game again. I'm convinced after wathcing him go against Gains Adams he can play either side. The sky is the limit with this guy. I'm more than on board now. Joe Thomas has HOFer written all over him, but I could really love watching Spencer and Gather work together on the same line for the next ten years. If he declairs and he falls to us I can't see the club passing on the guy.

Agreed. I've been scolded on this board many times, but I can't see any organization having two #1 recievers. The only exception for this would be if they were certain that A.J. was going to play out his contract and bolt. The good news with this scenario is that we have a chance to work the phones move down and grab the beast. Detroit is hot for Wrs.

With the third win , and I concure with kasts Thomas assement, he'll be off the board when we come up.

We are a while away from AJ's contract running out, and if it comes to that we can always use the franchise tag.
 
Oakland Raiders - *Brian Brohm, QB Louisville
Unless Andrew Walter shows a lot of promise over the second half of the season, the Raiders should capitalize on this opportunity to obtain a potential franchise quarterback. But don’t you just get the feeling Al will fall in love with some freak athlete, like Georgia Tech’s Calvin Johnson, and select him instead?

2. Arizona Cardinals - Joe Thomas, OT Wisconsin
Matt Leinart has tremendous potential and plenty of weapons to work with. Now the team needs to protect him with some talent on the offensive line. Drafting Thomas would allow the team to move big Leonard Davis to guard, where he’s a more natural fit.

3. Cleveland Browns - *Calvin Johnson, WR Georgia Tech
Unless the Browns are ready to give up on Charlie Frye, Johnson represents the best value at this point. The team used its top pick on Braylon Edwards in 2005, but Joe Jurevicius will be 32 next season and there‘s not a lot of talent behind him.

4. Detroit Lions - Brady Quinn, QB Notre Dame
The Lions made a mistake in passing on Matt Leinart in the ‘06 draft. If Quinn is still available, they can’t afford to pass on him.

5. Tennessee Titans - *Ted Ginn Jr., WR Ohio State
If the Titans want to take full advantage of Vince Young’s abilities, they need playmakers who will help spread the field. And Ginn has the speed to stretch the field vertically.

6. Miami Dolphins - *Frank Okam, DT Texas
The Dolphins are ancient at defensive tackle, so they should look to add some youth to the position early in the draft. Okam is a huge run-stuffer, who could take over for Keith Traylor, who will be 38-years old next season.

7. San Francisco 49ers - Leon Hall, CB Michigan
The 49ers are near the bottom of the league in pass defense and need an upgrade on the right side. Walt Harris will be 33 next season, so the position should be high on the team‘s list of needs to fill in the offseason.

8. Buffalo Bills - *Jake Long, OT Michigan
This is a little bit of a stretch for Long, who probably belongs about five to ten picks lower. But the Bills are desperate to find some consistency at left tackle.

Green Bay Packers - *Adrian Peterson, RB Oklahoma
It’s obvious Ahman Green isn’t the back he once was, and Vernand Morency doesn’t appear to be the guy to fill that role. Peterson has a knack for making big plays, and a strong running game could go a long way toward making the eventual transition from Brett Favre to Aaron Rogers a little smoother.

10. Washington Redskins - Gaines Adams, DE Clemson
Phillip Daniels is 33 years old, and has never really been a big pass-rushing threat. Adams might be a little small at 260 pounds, but he could contribute immediately as a pass-rush specialist. He also has the frame to put on another 10-15 pounds without losing much of his agility.

11. Houston Texans - *Marshawn Lynch, RB California
The Texans passed on Reggie Bush in the 2006 draft, only to see starter Dominick Davis sidelined the entire season by injury. If they get a shot at either Peterson or Lynch, I would expect them to take it.

Whole Mock Draft

A lot of these picks don't look realistic to me...

I don't agree with our pick....I love Lynch...But I think we have greater needs...They have Landry going at 18....If we could trade back to around 15 and still pick him up, as well as getting an extra pick out of the deal, I'd jump all over it....

And obviously Calvin Johnson will be the first WR drafted, possibly the first player drafted. I think Ginn is somewhat overrated, but it will be interesting to see if his game translates to the NFL.

Yea, I think LB is a bigger problem than CB...but Safety in this league is such a important position and we dont seem to have one.

I remember Ozzie was talking about Ed Reed and he said that he doesn't understand how teams can be successful without a safety who can play the run hard and cover a slot receiver like a corner. He was talking about how Ed adds a whole new dimension to the defense. He says the Ravens dont have to go into a nickel package when 3 receivers are on the field because Ed can cover that slot receiver as if he were a cornerback. We need a guy like that IMO.

I agree, if that deal is possible, let's do it. My only thing is that I dont think Landry will last past 15. Safeties are a huge priority in this league now and Landry is the most proven safety in the draft (has been playing for a good LSU defense since his FRESHMAN year) and he is a leader on his excellent defense.

Bottom Line: If we want Landry, specifically, we need to be picking right around 10. I think that is where we will be. I think we will have a shot at him, it's just about if we want him or not.

And on receivers: I'd say that the #2 receiver in the draft behind Johnson is Dwayne Jarrett. He is a serious weapon, but as bah said he is a junior and would need to declare early.

I would love to have Leon Hall and D-Rob playing together. I'm a big Michigan fan and have seen him all year as I live very close to Michigan, let me tell you he is the real deal. After the Bills game people must realize Faggins is not a NFL caliber starting corner(nickel at best).

Do you guys think Merriweather(sp?) is 1st or 2nd rounder. If He goes in the second I'd love to take him just not in the first.

P.S. Ohio State we will have our revenge :hunter:

Probably not.

The demand for CBs will be high in next year's first round so it is most likely that Hall will be selected first, especially since he is rated as a definite top 2 CB.
 
Merriweather is a good player but not a good fit for the texans because of the whole "miami stereotype" and the fight/brawl imo. I would not be happy if we drafted him in the 1st or 2nd round. If he fell to the 3rd or so my morals and mcnair/kubes may be out the window. I just dont want that attitude on our team.

I never thought that he was a 1st round talent. I dont think he is the best safety on Miam's team.

Kenny Phillips looks way better but he isnt eligible for the draft.

There are about 5 safeties I would take before Merriweather. The attitude problems & reputation certainly dont help him either.

The scouting reports I have read on Merriweather are questioning his desire to hit someone. Not a good question for a safety, many are thinking of moving him to CB to coverup his lack of tackling skills and smallish body.

I would rather take John Wendling out of Wyoming in the 2nd.

We will find out what the league scouts say about Ginn Jr. early day one. For my money I take the guy off that team that makes his living working over the middle and is a ball snatcher, not a body trapper. I take Gonzales, not nessicarrily first round, and never look back. Ginn Jr. might prove all his detractors wrong, but he doesn't have the guns that Steve Smith does, and without the fly pattern, he's a one trick poney. Anyone seen him catch anything over the middle on a crossing route ? He beat the heck out of the Texas DBs...but I'm thinking now, that's not saying very much. I've got "danger Will Robinson" written all over the guy. We'll see.

Thats not really true. Griffin has the speed to cover the deep routes, but he doesn't do it very well. All this talk about him being better than Michael Huff? Please. Griffin wasn't the best DB from UT last year, and what do you know, he's still not the best DB from UT this year either.

Well one thing about it TX, he's got us back in the top ten for '08. Like your kicker picks. And if we were one or two players away it would be a great idea. But, they got a plethera of special teams guys. They need starters. They need to hit this draft early and often looking for players who can start. As bad as our kickers have been this year, the teams tallent is so bad that would be a luxuary they can't afford.
