The All-Sexy Cardinal Draft 2008

[Mitch]

You wanna go sexy? Here it is:

1. RB Felix Jones, Arkansas. This guy is lightning in a bottle. A perfect compliment to Edgerrin James or anyone else in the backfield, cause this dude can flat-out fly.

2. FB Owen Schmitt, West Virginia. A physical freak. Big, tough and sneaky fast. Would become an icon in Arizona and have his own rooting section.

3. WR Harry Douglass, Louisville. The epitome of the slot WR...shakes free on every route, has hands of velcro and the elusiveness in the open field of Marshall Faulk.

4. FS DaJuan Morgan, NC St. Will slide some due to youth and inexperience, but this kid is a star waiting to happen, a la Adrian Wilson.

5. CB Trey Brown, UCLA. May be the best kept secret in this year's draft...a real gamer and has all the quickness, competitiveness and skill of virtually all the corners in this draft. Because he's a tad small (5-9, 185), he will slide.

6. LB JoLonn Dunbar, Boston College. Dude made HUGE interceptions in big games that enabled BC to beat the likes of Virginia Tech, Miami, Clemson, Michigan St., etc. Plus, he's a downhill tackler who is always around the ball.

7. OLB/DE Nathan Peterson, Oklahoma St. Sack artist who will slide due to sub-standard size (6-2, 240)...but this kid is the Antonio Smith of this year's draft.

Owen Schmitt is on my wish list. They kept track of how many face masks he broke while blocking. Let me say that again. He broke so many face masks they started to keep track.

No "sexy" defensive players until round 4?

 

[Goober Man]

Mitch...I think the only sexy draft is my mock draft..don't blame my punter etheir because his name is cool! with a nickname like "Drago" that has to be sexy!

 

[cardsfanmd]

The only thing unsexy was that there was no P or K. I loved the rest of it. In fact that was my favorite mock thusfar. I guess sex sells.

I like Douglas and Jones.. but I think Schmitt might be available later, and even if he isn't.. we can probably get a FB later in the draft.. I love him as a player, but 2nd round he is not great value imo.

 

[Zeno]

You'll never see a Mitch mock without a BC player somewhere in there.

I guess everyone has a different opinion of sexy because that draft does nothing for me. I'm no Owen Schmitt at all, especially not going 2-3 rounds higher than projected. Here's what's bringin' sexy back:
Round 1-Rashard Mendenhall-will be the best back in the draft
Round 2-Antoine Cason- got to get the people(led by Gee) on my side .
Round 3-Carl Nicks-as mean as an OL you'll find. He will be a first rate player someday.
Round 4- DJ Hall- playmaker and a deep threat from Alabama. Has some issues but will be good value here.
Round 5- I'm hoping for one of these 4 to drop,Darrell Robertson, Bruce Davis, Jason Jones, Shawn Crable. Crable is the most likely to fall but they'll likely be gone so i'll go with Durant Brooks.
Round 6- Larry Grant,LB OSU, he's has all the tools but got kind of got overshadowed by Laurinitis and Freeman
Round 7- Dexter Jackson-speed extraordinaire.

Cant believe you guys find these players sexy. Is there something you want to tell us Mitch.

Here are the results of last year's "sexy" draft, lined up in order from left to right:

You must be registered for see images attach

As usual, I wasn't wild about our first rounder (what was Graves thinking?) And then Pick # 3 didn't even make the team! (But looking at this picture, I wonder why this person was even selected at all)

But, all in all, I guess 3 out of 7 starters wasn't too bad.

Nice draft except for Owen Schmitt FB. Way too high.

I would rather have Danny Amendola Texas Tech as a slot receiver in maybe the 4th round than Douglas, but Douglas would be my 2nd choice at that position.

Where does the sexy part come in?

 

[RugbyMuffin]

BAH!!! Not sexy enough in my opinion

In the First round I like this running back:

 

[RugbyMuffin]

In the second round I say we go linebacker....and this player knows how to wrap up:

 

[RugbyMuffin]

In the 3rd Round I hope to get some DB help with a good tackler:

 

[RugbyMuffin]

I say by the forth round we should look for depth on the OL....nice block!

 

[RugbyMuffin]

In the 5th round I think this speed reciever might fall on u....cough....fall to us.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

The sixth round we should go BPA and this QB has great.......footwork.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

In the seventh round we should look for a specialist. How about a a goal line specialist. I love a player who likes to score.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

After seven rounds I think the Cardinals will get everything they need........except for a nap.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

The only problem is that this is only a mock.

These players need to be scouted and evaluated....I nominate Skorp for this job.

That's good stuff. Where is that at?

In the 3rd Round I hope to get some DB help with a good tackler:

Hmmm, I think I recognize the gal wearing #1 in the pink.
