Hogs Haven Mock Draft

by TexSkins on Mar 13, 2007 11:54 AM EDT

[editor's note, by Skin Patrol] Also, if you're just joining us from the Hail Redskins Mock Draft Database you should click here for what is an ok little Redskins Blog; if you're into that kind of thing. Just saying. [editor's note, by Skin Patrol] Many thanks to TexSkins who, per my request, re-issued his Mock Draft. I'm going to let this marinade for a few hours awaiting any possible suggestions and/or corrections and then will send this to the Hail Redskins Mock Draft Database by the day's end. Post comments below. Here's an updated mock draft after the free agency period filled some holes for teams. As always, let me know what I missed and what I got wrong.

Oakland - QB JaMarcus Russell, LSU
Detroit - LT Joe Thomas, WIS
Cleveland - RB Adrian Peterson, OU (This would look like last year's Patriots backfield of the aging and the new guy. For the record, I'd take Dillion over Lewis and Peterson over Moroney. I think QB Quinn might get some thought here as well.)
Tampa Bay - WR Calvin Johnson, GT (A steal at #4)
Arizona - DE Gaines Adams (They still need help on defense, though they signed a S and CB. If it was me, I'd take DT Alan Branch.)
Your Washington Redskins - DE Jamaal Anderson, ARK (With DE Gaines Adams gone, I think the pick is Anderson.)
Minnesota - QB Brady Quinn (I think someone trades up to get him, but no trades on this list.)
Houston - OT Levi Brown, PSU (If Peterson falls, they take him. If Quinn falls, they think about it.)
Miami - WR Ted Ginn (They need help at WR and KR, so it just fits.)
Atlanta - DB Reggie Nelson, FLA (I have trouble with this one. I think Petrino would like to take his former player DT Okoye, but the team needs secondary help. If they address either in the FA market, I say they draft the other.)
San Francisco - DT Amobi Okoye, LOU (They have the most money to spend in FA, so whatever need is not addressed there will be drafted in round 1. I think they can wait for Okoye to develop into a dominant force.)
Buffalo - CB Leon Hall (Clements gone, Hall in.)
St. Louis - I'm honestly lost here. TST says DT, so I say DT Alan Branch, MICH.
Carolina - ILB Patrick Willis, Ole Miss (They need help all over, but their LB corps were depleated last year.
Pittsburgh - CB Darrell Revis, PIT (Their corners got beat too often, so this just fits.)
Green Bay - RB Marshawn Lynch, CAL
Jacksonville - DE Jarvis Moss, FLA (If it's me, I take Carriker from NEB but I think that Moss is too talented for JAX to pass on.)
Cincinnati - DB LaRon Landry, LSU (Landry has the versitility to allow the Bengals to do a few things, including move S Williams to CB in the absence of FA James.)
Tennessee - WR Dwayne Jarrett, USC
N.Y. Giants - CB Aaron Ross, UT (I'm totally confused here. Maybe LB? Maybe a different DB? Maybe a RB? I'm lost.)
Denver - With Moss off my board, and the CB situation taken care of, I say DE Adam Carriker, NEB.
Dallas - [editor's note, by Skin Patrol] DB Chris Houston, ARK
Kansas City - WR Dwayne Bowe, LSU
New England - WR Sidney Rice, USC
N.Y. Jets - TE Greg Olsen, MIA
Philadelphia - LB Lawrence Timmons, FSU
New Orleans - [editor's note, by Skin Patrol]TE Zach Miller, ASU
New England - OLB/DE Anthony Spencer, PUR (I'm not sure here. They might not take him after signing Thomas, so maybe S Griffin?)
Baltimore - OT/OG Aaron Sears, TEN
San Diego - S Michael Griffin, UT (Another steal in my mind. They could look at WR if they feel Meachem is worth the pick.)
Chicago - [editor's note, by Skin Patrol] S Brian Meriweather, Mia
Indianapolis - LB Jon Beason, MIA (Already knows Dungy's scheme.)

I say

per this that we make Dallas take Houston. Can you make that work, Texskins?

Go Register. Or else.

I would be disappointed

if we go Miller. I might be ok with moving up for Olsen, but still don't think that is what I want. I am leaning toward a safety, maybe Meriweather(sp).

Okay...

then give Dallas Houston, give No Miller and give Chicago Meriweather(sp).

I think Meriweather is a reach for the first round, but if the man who knows the Bears wants him, I'm all for it.

I'd much rather see them trade for AA... but that's a moot point here.

Fixed and

submitting.

Go Register. Or else.

I am not declining that Meriweather is a reach

we have a much higher second rounder now, so maybe we get him then, I would like to think we are making a run at Landry, but hat is wishful thinking.

Question:

A San Fran fan put it to me that they'd take Branch before they'd take Okoye, and I think there might be something to it. He also intimated that they'd be more likely to take a DE as well.

Thoughts?

Go Register. Or else.

I had seena couple mock drafts...

that had them taking Okoye. I know they need defense, and I know they signed DT Aubrayo Franklin [ formerly of Baltimore. But they also have Bryant Young in the middle and they just drafted Lawson out of NCST, sort of the hybrid OLB/DE type. Plus they signed Banta Cain.

So I think DE would be a bad pick, especially for the value (#11) and the guys that would be at that spot.

If the man wants Branch, I could see that as a plausible pick. I think he's better overall, and especially for the hybrid 4-3/3-4 that Mike Nolan has them running, where he could be a big presence inside in both defenses.

So if you want to swap Branch and Okoye, that'd be fine with me. But I really can't see the Niners taking a DE with their first pick. Maybe top of the second round.
