The FieldPosition.com Mock Draft (the Only one)-By Bill Chachkes(the Draftnik) Exclusive to Fieldposition.com & nfldraftmag.blogspot.com

Lots of Websites and Publications do mock drafts. The Number of mocks some people put out are so astounding it borders on foolishness to update it each week. I can see doing 2 or 3 in a draft season. To this end we have gone the Exact opposite direction this year. Only one mock draft from us here this time, that’s why you are not seeing it until now….

1) Oakland Raiders-JaMarcus Russell-QB-LSU-Even if it’s the wrong choice, it’s Al Davis’ wrong choice to make. Johnson Should go 1st simply because he is the most talented player in this draft.

2) Detroit Lions-Gaines Adams-DE-Clemson-May not be the brightest, but we are hard pressed to find a better pass rusher. May not be the best fit either, but you can’t deny his ability.

3) Cleveland Browns-Brady Quinn-QB-Notre Dame- You just can’t pass on him if he’s there when you go on the clock, unless they really want a wide receiver.

4) Tampa Bay Bucs-Calvin Johnson-WR-Ga.Tech- Far and away the most talented player in the draft, but the QB’s ahead of him are costing him earnings.

5) Arizona Cardinals-Joe Thomas-OT-Wisconsin-Cost himself a few spots and some $$ with the Fly fishing stunt, but NFL network turned it into a remote spot.

6) Washington Redskins-Amobi Okoye-DT-Louisville-Even with being only 19, and admitting to “improper” behavior, This Kid has the goods, and his stock has been climbing since the combine.

7) Minneesota Vikings-Leon Hall-CB-Michigan- Good cover corner, good numbers(4.39 in the 40) good character, all that makes a good choice.

8) Atlanta Falcons-LaRon Landry-S-LSU-After slipping past Washington, you have to know that Landry wouldn’t last long. A strong hitter and a top ten prospect.

9) Miami Dolphins-Alan Branch-DT-Michigan-despite what the Fans want, the ‘Phins need a “Pit” player, Branch will learn quick not to slack off if he wants to play at the next level.

10) Houston Texans-Levi Brown-OT-Penn St.- Texans need to protect their new QB, and we can’t see him falling past here unless Houstons scouts know something we don’t.

11) S.F. 49ers- Jamaal Anderson-DE-Arkansas- Probably more well rounded then any other DL in this class, he is smart, and a quality player to boot.

12) Buffalo Bills-Patrick Willis-LB-Mississippi-Bills need too much help on defense to pass on this young man. A very versatile player who could play either inside or outside.

13) St. Louis Rams-Adrian Peterson-RB-Oaklaholma-Why would he fall this far? He probably will be gone by the time the Rams pick, but if not, they need a compliment and eventual successor to S. Jackson.

14) Carolina Panthers-Greg Olsen-TE-Miami-Coach John Fox wants to reload his Offense, and Olsen can step in right away. His workout numbers are too good to ignore.

15 ) Pittsburg Steelers-Adam Carriker-DE-Nebraska- Very mobile for a 300 pounder, and quite smart as well. Will do well in Tomlin’s Defensive scheme.

16) Green Bay Packers-Justin Harrell-DT-Tennessee- Versatile, but not without issues. Got his weight where it should be for a run stuffing Defensive tackle.


17) Jacksonville Jaguars-Reggie Nelson-FS-Florida-Looking to keep a kid in-state, the Jags are looking to improve the defense, and will resist the temptation to select a skill player.
18) Cincinnati Bengals-Darrelle Revis-CB-Pitt- They won’t be able to resist his football bloodlines and quality defensive skill. Can also return kicks as well.
19) Tennessee Titans-Robert Meachem-WR-Tennessee- Another kid who will stay in state. Gives Vince Young another target downfield.
20) NY Giants-Paul Posluszny-LB-Penn State-Great Combine workout, and Giants Gm Reese loves his Defense. Can Play all three LB spots.
21) Denver Broncos-Lawrence Timmons-LB-Fla. St.- Broncos have lots of concerns on Defense, and would still have to do some shifting around wit this pick.
22) Dallas Cowboys-Dwayne Jarrett-WR-USC- could spell the end of the T.O. run in Big D. Jarrett runs like Mike Irvin, with less behavioral baggage.
23) Kansas City Chiefs-Ted Ginn Jr.-WR-Ohio St.- Ginn Would never have fallen this far except for the Foot Injury. He is just the late career help TE Tony Gonzales needs.
24) New England Patriots- Aaron Ross-CB-Texas-a concensus selection here, Ross will greatly improve the Pats defense. You can’t pass on him at this spot.
25) NY Jets-Chris Houston-DB-Arkansas- Good cover skills and good footspeed, but no turnover stats in college at all. Still he is the best of what’s left.
26) Philadelphia Eagles-Michael Griffin-S-Texas-The Birds suffered badly in the secondary last year. They might want a cover corner, but the best ones are gone. Griffin can start right away.
27) New Orleans Saints-David Harris-LB-Michigan-Several projections had Harris falling down to he mid second round, but Coach Peyton likes his ability.
28) New England Patriots-Ryan Kalil-OC-USC- Patriots must upgrade Their Offensive line, and Kalil is a quality center. You have to love this kid’s personality as well.
29) Baltimore Ravens-Joe Staley-OT-Central Michigan- Big, Fast, and can run over defenders his size and smaller. Ravens lost a lot of beef up front in free agency.
30) S.D. Chargers-Brandon Merriweather-S-Miami-Chargers need Offensive skill help, but all the good receivers are gone, With the run on receivers earlier in the round, Gm A.J. Smith will bide his time and see what he can do at pick 62.
31) 31 Chacago Bears- Justin Blalock-OG-Texas. You can never have enough big offensive linemen. The Colts Defense Mauled them in the SB, but the Bears aren’t that far away.
32) Indianapolis Colts-Marshawn Lynch-RB-Cal-Indy lost Rhodes in free agency, and they need to replace him and get a change of pace player to compliment Last year’s #1 Pick, Joe Addai. Many will be surprised that the RB’s in this class fell so far down.


So some of you are going to say "why did you drop the RB's to 13 and 32"? Well , Peterson would still go in the top ten, but if he slips past 6, he is down to the next ten. Lynch still has question marks next to his name, and could drop out of the 1st round all together.
