Pick # 21 - Cleveland Browns


Alex Mack - C - California

Analysis Positives: Tall, athletic center with large biceps and a solid lower body build. Puts in full effort on every play, often getting downfield for a second or third block. Nimble enough to get in front of screens, trap block inside and eliminate linebackers at the second level. Keeps his legs moving once making contact with his target, often putting his man on the ground in the process. Gets under the pads of taller tackles, able to push them back 5-7 yards. Creates huge holes on combination blocks inside. Adept at regular and shotgun snaps, getting his hands up quickly afterwards. Despite his size, he can quickly get low to cut block and will continue to work after the initial contact. Leader of the line.

Negatives: Plays a bit high at times, occasionally losing leverage or getting pushed back against wide-bodies. Does not play with a particularly wide base. Will lean forward too much when in space, losing his ability to sustain the block and allowing defenders to get him off balance. Sometimes misses his target in space. Lacks a great push in short-yardage situations. Needs quicker feet and lateral movement in pass protection to handle quick, penetrating three-technique tackles and adjust to blitzing linebackers inside.

WOW... That's an AWESOME line combination.

 

[Unsterblich856]

Mangini is a hell of a troll.

 

[Zeno]

The next 5 teams won't pick a RB

 

[azdad1978]

[anks106]

[azsouthendzone]

Pick # 22 - Minnesota Vikings


Percy Harvin - WR - Florida

Analysis Positives: Shorter than scouts would like, but has a strong, compact build. Rare straight-line speed. Rare elusiveness. Can make defenders miss in tight quarters. Good vision when running in space. Sets up his blocks well and can cut back against the grain. Good agility as a route-runner. Strong, secure hands for the reception. Courageous going over the middle. Gathers in the pass and quickly moves upfield to maximize production. Can extend outside of his frame to make the spectacular reception. Versatile athlete who can contribute as a receiver, running back and shows great potential as a returner, although he never attempted a kick or punt return at Florida. Has struggled with durability, but is considered a physically tough player.

Negatives: Looks shorter on film than his listed 5-11. Many of his plays in this offense were slip screens designed to get him the ball quickly and in space. Could struggle acclimating to a more pro-style offense. Lack of success at the NFL level from former receivers from Meyer's offense is troubling. Has struggled with durability. Missed practice time in 2008 with ankle, hip pointer and tendonitis in his knee and heel.

I'm. Starting to think REY is falling to the cards as long as be gets past Baltimore.

 

[azdad1978]

Harvin to the Vikings. Wow lots of speed paired up with AD

 

[Shogun]

"Lord Have Mercy" Percy Harvin. Interesting.

 

[Billy Bob]

9 2 Go

 

[NuttinButTDs]

What other WR left worth first round - Hakeem Nicks. NYG needs one badly.

 

[binkar]

Harvin is gone. That is great news for us as it will allow another great player to fall to us as some speculated he would drop to round 2.

 

[Zeno]

I'm. Starting to think REY is falling to the cards as long as be gets past Baltimore.

I don't think we pick an ILB over a RB like Wells or Brown

 

[NuttinButTDs]

Anybody feel sorry for Michael Oher

 

[Zeno]

pick traded to Baltimore.
