"The I really, really, REALLY mean it this time...I think!" Mock Draft

[Stout]

And if I don't mean it, it's too damn late, because this is the farthest I'm going...no more mocks for me! The big show (diminished due to today's loss) is mere hours away.

Okay, okay, without further eloquence:

3-Arizona Cardinals-Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Pitt

4-New York Giants-Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Miami, OH

5-Washington Redskins-Vince Wilfork, DT, Miami

6-Detroit Lions-Kellen Winslow, TE, Miami

7-Cleveland Browns-Sean Taylor, S, Miami

8-Atlanta Falcons-Roy Williams, WR, Texas

9-Jacksonville Jaguars-Kenechi Udeze, DE, USC

10-Houston Texans-DeAngelo Hall, CB, Va Tech

11-Pittsburgh Steelers-Philip Rivers, QB, NC State

12-New York Jets-DJ Williams, OLB, Miami

13-Buffalo Bills-Will Smith, DE, OSU

14-Chicago Bears-Tommie Harris, DT, Oklahoma

15-Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Shawn Andrews, OT, Arkansas

16-San Francisco Forty-Niners-Reggie Williams, WR, Washington

17-Denver Broncos (from Cincinnati)-Ben Troupe, TE, Florida

18-New Orleans Saints-Dunta Robinson, CB, USC

19-Minnesota Vikings-Vernon Carey, OG, Miami

20-Miami Dolphins-Lee Evans, WR, Wisconsin

21-New England Patriots-Michael Clayton, WR, LSU

22-Dallas Cowboys-Steven Jackson, RB, Oregon State

23-Seattle Seahawks-Jonathan Vilma, ILB, Miami

24-Cincinnati Bengals-Chris Gamble, CB, Ohio State

25-Green Bay Packers-JP Losman, QB, Tulane

26-St. Louis Rams-Antwan Odom, DE, Alabama

27-Tennessee Titans-Darnell Dockett, DT, FSU

28-Philadelphia Eagles-Karlos Dansby, OLB, Auburn

29-Indianapolis Colts-Matt Ware, CB, UCLA

30-Kansas City Chiefs-Rashaun Woods, WR, Oklahoma State

31-Carolina Panthers-Mike Jenkins, WR, Ohio State

32-New England Patriots-Justin Smiley, OG, Alabama



And here's how I think the rest of our mock could turn out...

33-Arizona Cardinals-Kevin Jones, RB, Va Tech

64-Arizona Cardinals-Igor Olshansky, DT, Oregon

100-Arizona Cardinals-Nick Leckey, C, Kansas State

135-Arizona Cardinals-Kendyll Pope, OLB, Florida State

167-Arizona Cardinals-Rod Davis, ILB, Southern Miss

202-Rod Rutherford, QB, Pitt

I like some of your predicitons, but we MUST get a CB in round #2.. we need somebody to come in a compete for a spot back there.. I like Jones, but I dont think we need to get a Rb that hi in the draft.. get a Rb in round #5,6 to compete and then maybe try to take a top notch one next years draft at 13th.


Go Cards

IMO, that's the attitude we cannot take into the draft with us. If someone of obviously higher-round talent falls to us at a certain spot, be it in the 2nd or the 6th, and they'll be able to help our team, we have to take them. No more drafting a CB because we HAVE to have a CB (ala Tom Knight).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You can't expect to plug all your team needs and holes in the draft. That's why I was so upset to underachieve in FA. THAT'S where you need to fill the specific holes. We had the money to fix the CB spot, and it was a CB-heavy FA period...and we got a nickle CB/Iffy starting CB. Not a great success, IMO.
