SABP 2010 NFL Mock Draft/Draft Discussion Open Thread

Too early for me to mock but Suh is definitely first for Rams. I also feel pretty confident that the Bills will screw up again and draft Sam Bradford before getting their horrid O-Line built up.

Also, this running back class to me is pretty awful compared to the past two or three years.

Spiller- Darren McFadden, I mean, Spiller is pure speed but nothing else. The elusiveness is there, but it’s not elite. He looks and feels like Reggie Bush to me. Overrated and ineffective on players that aren’t pitches or screens. Whoever drafts him better have a quality back to play with him. Definitely not for a team without a RB.

Best- I actually kinda like Best. Great speed, but he’s also a good every down back. Slower Chris Johnson to me. i think he could be a pretty good back in this league.

To me, it’s too early to make a mock draft. That’s just me, though, as other people probably have made some or at least one.

I hope everyone recommends this. We don’t need a new thread every time someone has a draft idea as noted in the post.

For the first ti9me in years, it will actually be debatelable, whom we should choose:

JaMarcus, McFadden and Crabtree were no brainers…Nearly

Just change the date posted and it will go ahead of posts of previous days.

especially for the Raiders who put so much into those outcomes. Right now I can only say the positions I’d like to see picked by the team, but often the Free Agency period in March will change the needs, as it seemed to do last year when Kalif Barnes and Erik Pears were signed, suddenly and incorrectly a OT didn’t seem like an immediate need.

I cant really throw any names out right now becasue I usually watch the Combine then decide stuff like that, but I know the positional needs

OT
LB
DT
CB
DE
FB
 
The bottom 3 can be switched up in any order, but otherwise the Top 3 are big needs.

We load up on OTs because they are normally the best players and can transition as needed. We have Langston Walker and Robert Gallery as our starting guards and they are fine. Dump Green, Pears, Barnes, and Carlisle and we bring in 3OTs (2 by draft and 1 by FA).

Trade back and pick Iupati he moves well and could play RG or RT given time…in the

second draft Calooway to play RT or Beadles to PLay RG whatever Iupati doesnt

play…now we got a good OL we know how to use to Mcfadden to make mismatchs and

chaz schillens and MIller with Bush in the backfield could be a good team if we take

some defensive depth in later rounds that sounds good to me but it never happens that

way so we will have to wait and see

put your money on Al to draft him

especially with Nanmdi fawning over playing with Revis at the Pro Bowl and it looks like McLain might be gone by our pick.

Rd.1- Anothony Davis OT

Rd.2- Brandon Spikes ILB

Rd.3 Mike Johnson OG/OT

Rd.3 Jon Asomoah OG

Rd.4 Dan LeFevour QB

Rd.5 Reshawn Jackson FB

Rd.6 Corey Peters DT

Rd.7 Ekom Udofia DT

At times we showed life on offense, all it took was an average QB. Were fine on the left side of the O line, the Right side has major holes and center is okay for now. The Wide outs between Chaz and Murphy are good and we can sign a 3rd guy or hope DHB doesn’t suck next year. On defense we lack a run stopping DT seeing that Warren is not a starter and Kelly is a situational player (pass rush). I think Dez can eventually be a starter but he deserves to be in the rotation over Warren, on the ends were good with Ellis, Seymour, J Rich, Shaunessey, and Scott ( I think he should split time between OLB and DE). At LB it depends on if Kirk leaves, if he does than we have to get Mclain (or another MLB) or get a strong OLB if he does stay (Porter?). I’d love Pierce, then move Kirk outside or if he leaves put Scott there and draft a DT. Corner deph can be built in rounds 2-5. Maybe have Huff play a little corner and let Mitch get some more time?

that run a 4.3 or under? That’s what old Al is looking for! Nevermind skill set, coverage, or intelligence, it’s all about speed… right?

The defensive end from South Florida is shooting up draft boards like crazy. He’s inside the top five on the ESPN Scouts Inc. board which you can view at that link on the bottom right.

With just six sacks in his junior year, I thought Pierre-Paul was a guy going in the second round at best. I’m still not buying into the hype. Don’t buy into it, Al.

The Jets blog had some fun with their mock draft.

8. Oakland Raiders: Usain Bolt, 100m/200m/4×100m, Jamaica

We all know Al Davis only cares about straight line speed so who better than the fastest man in the world? I know you’re probably either laughing or rolling your eyes, but admit it. You could see this happening.

if mcclain is gone at 8, i say we draft the kid out of rutgers then in the second we look at kyle wilson a corner out of boise st. this kid is a beast. the 3rd round goes to asomoah and some DT that can plug two gaps. not exactly sure who that can be because from everything that i have read theres only about two or three players that are capable of doing this and all are expected to be gone by then.

The St. Louis Rams have traded the first overall pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for the third overall pick, a third-round pick and quarterback Josh Johnson.

The Bucs would then draft Ndamukong Suh with the No. 1 pick. According to Scout.com, the Rams compare Johnson to Michael Vick athletically, and they believe he has even more upside as a passer. While Johnson is an intriguing developmental QB, he’s not close to being ready to start at the NFL level. The proposed deal makes sense for the Bucs, but it wouldn’t solve the Rams’ quarterback dilemma for 2010.

While it may not solve the dilemma for the Rams next season as far as quarterback goes, I imagine Josh Johnson is their starter and they may not draft neither Suh nor Gerald McCoy. I wonder who they would draft, then, since they can’t go defensive tackle and won’t go quarterback.

as our 7th round pick.

He’s thick, has got good speed for a FB, and would be perfect to block for our RB’s.

He also seems to have some hands for the dump if needed.

Its starting soon, Expect the mocks to start flying in

According to Jason La Confora, the Lions are shopping the second overall pick in the draft and they are “already in contact with several other teams.”

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams are taking Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford with the top pick. The trade with the Buccaneers isn’t official.

Schefter admits that he has not spoken to the Rams about the issue, but he insists he doesn’t need to because he’s “heard enough other things” from people around the league that he considers it a lock. Schefter also “promises” that Bradford is a top-5 player in this draft.
