Hogs Haven Mock Draft
I'm way behind on this but it's about damn time Hogs Haven gets in on the rampant and purely speculative Mock Drafting that's been so contagious of late. Hail Redskins has the most comprehensive Mock Draft list available, and I'm feeling a little flipping left out. Below please find my uninformed picks with brief commentary. After my reader(s) pour over them and rip my unacquainted picks to shreds, I'll submit it to Hail Redskins myself. And here we go... (Note: No trade downs in this one. Perhaps we'll do another mock draft later where I can work that out)
Full Draft List Per Redskins.com:
- Oakland - I don't care if PFT says he's fat, Oakland is taking QB JaMarcus Russell, LSU
- Detroit - Pride of Detroit thinks it is OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin. Works for me.
- Cleveland - Having just won the coin flip to move up to third, Cleveland will take... WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech. I just have to be different.
- Tampa Bay - If Cleveland takes CJ then Tampa is just screwed. They're forced by default to take QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame because Chris Simms is too much of a question mark.
- Arizona - DT Alan Branch, Michigan to make my decision easier.
- Washington - But not really, because I still have to choose between two great Defensive Ends (remember no trade downs). DE Jamaal Anderson, Arkansas is winning the vote on Hogs Haven, so I choo-choo-choose him.
- Minnesota - Although Daily Norseman gives himself Calvin Johnson (not gonna happen) I have to go with WR Ted Ginn, Ohio State. Rumors of a Randy Moss return to Minnesota are just that.
- Houston - Ok so you didn't get Reggie Bush last year, but now that RB Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma has fallen to you this is a no-brainer.
- Miami - Although they need help in the secondary, I still think Leon Hall is a stretch at this point. Miami is too pleased to see DE Gaines Adams, Clemson fall this low.
- Atlanta - FS LaRon Landry, LSU. Just feels right, I guess.
- San Francisco - I'm tempted to do Dwayne Jarrett here, as they know him 'round these parts and the 49ers need a WR. But the way DT Amobi Okoye, Louisville is moving up Draft Charts, I have to think he goes sooner rather than later. I think Jarrett will be a bust, if anyone feels like quoting me.
- Buffalo - With Nate Clements leaving town they might be tempted to get Leon Hall, but I think he's still a reach. So OT Levi Brown, Penn St it is.
- St. Louis - Turf Show Times talks about WRs (though not the one I pick) so why not WR Dwayne Jarrett, USC?
- Carolina - Don't know anything about the team, but I suspect they have a weak outside linebacking unit since Na'il Diggs and Jamal Anderson split time. LB Lawrence Timmons, FSU
- Pittsburgh - I should just ask Behind the Steel Curtain but will go ahead and pick on their behalf. DE/OLB Jarvis Moss, Florida is the perfect 3-4 hybrid defender, and from what I gather they are keeping that defense.
- Green Bay - Ahman Green is out. RB Marshawn Lynch, California is in.
- Jacksonville - ILB Patrick Willis, Mississippi, though Big Cat Country would have preferred Jarvis Moss.
- Cincinnati - With Justin Smith franchised, I can't pick a DE. So they get S Reggie Nelson, Florida
- Tennessee - Music City Miracles says the biggest need is DE and I deliver: DE Quentin Moses, Georgia
- N.Y. Giants - I have no idea. Reader(s) help me out, LB Paul Posluszny, Penn State
- Denver - Can they pass on CB Leon Hall, Michigan?
- Dallas - BTB mentions OT Justin Blalock, Texas and that's good enough for me.
- Kansas City - From Arrowhead Pride's Mock Draft Roundup: WR Dwayne Bowe, LSU
- New England (from Seattle) - They get WR Sidney Rice, South Carolina by default.
- N.Y. Jets - At this point I'm just guessing. DE Adam Carriker, Nebraska.
- Philadelphia - Bleeding Green takes a look at S Michael Griffin, Texas. Good enough for me.
- New Orleans - Another Texas guy? CB Aaron Ross, Texas. Why not.
- New England - For the 3-4: DE/OLB Lamarr Woodley, Michigan.
- Baltimore - Christ I don't know. RB Michael Bush, Louisville.
- San Diego - WR Robert Meacham, Tennessee
- Chicago - Zach Miller or Greg Olson? TE Zach Miller, ASU
- Indianapolis - I really have no idea at this point. Go to Stampede Blue and ask them. Arbitrarily (and with little knowledge of the team needs) I choose CB Darrelle Revis, Pittsburgh.
With that in mind, I would prefer any/all help reader(s) were willing to provide. Who can I move around here? Who did I miss? Who did I put too high/low? Please make changes as explicit and simple as possible because I don't want to re-do the entire thing. Once we have a semi-consensus or a minimum of reader(s) input, I'll submit to Hail Redskins.
Note: The above post gave me the desire to drink paint thinner an enormous headache compiling, so please be nice.

What about Lamarr Woodley at this spot?

I agree with some...
- CLE - RB Adrian Peterson - Crennel needs to win NOW.
- TB - WR Johnson
- HOU - OT Levi Brown
- MIA - QB Brady Quinn - I can't see Cameron passing on Quinn, especially with the health concerns of Culpepper.
- SF - DE Adams
- BUF - DT Okoye
- NYG - I have no idea... I personally like Poz, but I think they might go RB (remember that Tiki guy who retired?) so maybe a Kenny Irons? I have no idea.
- BAL - I could see them going DE end here, especially with Thomas leaving via FA. I don't know who the next hybrid 3-4 guy would be... DE/OLB Anthony Spencer from Purdue is a blind guess.
- CHI - if it's Olsen or Miller, I go Olsen. I could see them drafting elsewhere other than TE. Maybe a DT or LB for depth. But a guy not on your deaft board yet is C Kalil from USC, a steal at 31.

The more I think about it...
So he's a guy we both missed.
CLE could do a number of things. I just think that Peterson is too much of an explosive player to pass up. They have good WRs in Edwards and Jurivicious (sp?) so I think Johnson's out here.
I think ARI could do a number of things as well. DT or DE make sense, but pretty much anything on the defensive side makes sense too. I could see an OL pick here too.
If MIA passes on QB Quinn, how far does he fall? I can't see TB taking Quinn over WR Johnson (who I think will still be there at #4) and I can't see a team taking him other than maybe #7 MIN or #8 HOU, but those teams have other needs. Maybe #14 CAR, but they need help everywhere more than Delhomme. Maybe #23 KC?
Quinn, for me, is the biggest wildcard.
