The Football Reporters Online Mock Draft
The Football Reporters Online Mock Draft
We like to think we are a little different. That we think “outside the box so to speak”. With that premise, here is our Roundtable Mock as of 12 am on April 24th.
The Mock Draft Roundtable was conducted without team trades.
Participants-Mike Ingram-Black Athlete.com, Shawn Zobel-Draft Headquarters.com
Dr. Bill Chachkes-Football Reporters Online & SBS-NFL Draft Magazine Blog, Frankie Underwood-Football Reporters Online and Fantasy Football Journal, and Ralph Garcia-Football Reporters Online.
1-Dolphins-Jake Long-T-Michigan- (Shawn) - Miami worked out a contract with Long so he is the pick here.
2-Rams-Chris Long-DT-Virginia- (Mike) Rams not only need pass rushers but also core players on defense after years of "The Greatest Show of Turf" hype.
3-Falcons-Matt Ryan-QB-B.C.-(Ralph) The Falcons must make a pick at QB that will help them over the next ten years. Matt Ryan
4-Raiders-Glenn Dorsey-DT-LSU- (Frankie) I don’t believe the Raiders will draft McFadden, but by drafting Dorsey they can move Kelly back to Def. End.
5-Chiefs-Ryan Clady-OLT-Boise St. (Bill) A Bit of a reach at #5 but K.C. wants to win now, and they need the O-Line improved.
6-Jets-Vernon Gholston-DE/OLB-Ohio St. (Shawn) Because of the feud between the Jets and the Patriots, New York will go with Gholston here.
7-Patriots (fm 49ers)-Keith Rivers-LB-USC (Mike) Pats LB group was too old and, unlike the Pats vs. Giants D' Rivers would push back.
8-Ravens-Sedrick Ellis-NT-USC- (Ralph) The Ravens go with the logical choice in Ellis.
9-Bengals-Darren McFadden-RB Arkansas (Frankie) Besides the fact that McFadden has fallen too far, Cincy has trouble keeping their RB’s healthy.
10-Saints-Phillip Merling-DE-DT-Clemson (Bill) His motor is always on. Very busy in the pit keeping OL’s tied up.
11-Bills-Devin Thomas-WR-KR-Michigan St. (Shawn) The Bills have
reached for players in the past because they have them high on their boards. With their need at wide receiver, I think that this pick makes a lot of sense.
12-Broncos-Chirs Williams-OLT-Vanderbilt (Mike) Plug him in, plug him in. A 10-year starter, barring injuries. He is polished with great technique.
13-Panthers-Derrick Harvey-DE-Florida (Ralph) Harvey fits in well with defensive scheme.
14-Bears-Branden Albert-OLG-Virgina (Frankie) The Bears need a QB, but not this high, they already have too much invested in RBs, but OL depth is always important.
15-Lions-Sam Baker-OLT-USC (Bill) With Williams, Albert & Clady gone, Baker is the next best OL left on the board.
16-Cardinals-Leodis McKelvin-CB-RS-Troy (Shawn) The biggest need is in the secondary making McKelvin the pick.
17-Vikings-Jeff Otah-OLT Pitt. (Frankie) Jackson needs time to develop and Otah could provide that time.
18-Texans-Felix Jones-RB-Arkansas (Ralph) Time for Houston to "think outside the box" and go with Jones. He Averaged 100 Yards per every 12 touches.
19-Eagles-Kentwan Balmer-DE-North Carolina (Mike) My gut says this will be one of the deepest receiver classes since '96; so there will be good quality down the line. Speaking of the line, how about a big Play Big Guy to give Mike Patterson some backup and needed bulk along the D-line.
20-Bucs-Malcom Kelly-WR-Okalahoma (Bill) Tampa’s WR’s are getting old, so here is a shot of “Youth” for their offense.
21-Redskins-Limas Sweed-WR-Texas- (Shawn) The Redskins really like Malcolm Kelly, however with him and the top offensive and defensive linemen off the board, I think that they turn to the next best wide receiver.
22-Cowboys (from Cleveland)-Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie-DB-Tenn. st. (Mike) The Boys need defensive backfield help and the talent is in the bloodlines here.
23-Steelers-Mike Jenkins-CB-RS-S.Fla. (Frankie) While Pittsburgh does need help on the O-line, all the Quality is gone. Corner is also a need that a former DB coach will recognize.
24-Titans-DeSean Jackson-WR-RS-California (Ralph) Young needs a receiver and that man is the versatile DeSean Jackson
25-Seahawks-Rashard Mendenhall-RB Illinois (Bill) He has fallen so far the Seahawks would be foolish to pass on him. Could develop into a threat in the ‘hawks offense.
26-Jaguars-Quentin Groves-DE-Auburn (Shawn) Quentin Groves DE Auburn: The Jaguars have a desperate need along the defensive line. With Balmer off the board, they take Groves.
27-Chargers-Dre Moore-DT-Maryland (Mike) 'Bolts add some credible depth in getting some help for super nose man Jamal Williams.
28-Cowboys-James Hardy-WR-Indiana (Ralph) With Jackson gone to the Titans the next best WR is Hardy.
29-49ers-Calais Campbell-DE-Miami (Frankie) 49ers still need to solidify the Defense and Campbell could only help.
30-Packers- Aquib Talib-CB-RS-Kansas (Bill) Green Bay is developing a solid Group of D-Backs. Could this be the icing on the cake?
31-Pats (forfeited)-
32-Giants-Jerod Mayo-OLB-Tenn. (Shawn) Giants go with Mayo here. They clearly need help at outside linebacker and Mayo is on fire.

Four Months
Four months.
It seems like it was eons ago when the Colts and da Bears waited for Rex Grossman to failingly flail around Joe Robbie Stadium. It seems so long ago, it feels like we should be fast approaching another September: a time when ever fan says to all their friends, “This year, the [insert favorite team name here] are going to win it all.”
But alas, September is four months away. A third of a calendar year. What’s a fan to do? Voluntary mini-camps are hardly engaging, and an early off-season rich with big names headed to new towns has long since passed.
So here we rest, midway between seasons, with only one thing on our collective minds: the 2007 NFL draft.
Who’s the #1 pick? Who’ll get Calvin Johnson? Which QB is going to go first? Who’s [insert favorite team name here] going to pick? Who’s going to trade?
Over the past month and a half, these same types of questions have been asked and answered, and answered, and answered again, and then analyzed, and then reanalyzed, and finally second guessed, by the otherwise unemployed folks over at ESPN and the NFL Network. I’ve seen every possible permutation of how the first round could possibly go. I even saw a list of draft picks if—instead of drafting in the current order—teams drafted based on their teams total fantasy football points last year. When will all this ridiculousness end?
Saturday.
Have a great day watching, and I hope the [insert favorite team name here] draft the missing piece to their soon-to-be new-born dynasty.

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.
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….
