1. Matt Stafford,QB, Georgia |Video | Video|
Word is the Lions have placed their final offer on the table for Matt Stafford and his agent to have a look at. We will see this more than likely be accepted before the draft kicks off. The other option the Lions have is Aaron Curry, who has reached an agreement if the Lions should accept.
Stafford should be the pick and he should spend the season…or most of it…watching Dante Culpepper get demolished from the sidelines.
Previous Picks: Matt Stafford, QB(13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)
2. Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
The best player for this spot is certainly an Offensive Tackle. Not only do the Rams seriously need an OT, they let Orlando Pace go already. Now what else would you be drafting if you cut the player you seriously need to draft someone to replace soon anyway? Jason Smith is shooting up draft boards after the Combine. If Crabtree was not falling you would have to wonder about him here too as Torry Holt is now gone. Aaron Curry would make any team better as well.
The Rams are showing interest in Mark Sanchez although most feel it is a smokescreen.
Previous Picks: Jason Smith, OT (13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6)Andre Smith, OT (5,4,3,2), Michael Oher, OT (1)
3. Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest |Video|Video|
I had actually changed this pick to Eugene Monroe and then switched it back before hitting the “publish” button. Monroe would really make sense as far as solidifying the offensive line. How can the Chiefs pass up on the guy who looks to be the safest pick in the draft though?
Previous Picks: Aaron Curry, OLB (13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6)Mark Sanchez, QB (5,4,3,2,1)
4. Mark Sanchez, QB, USC |Video|
Long the home of Eugene Monroe, we have pulled the trigger to snap Sanchez up for the Seahawks. Monroe, like with the Chiefs, makes a lot of sense here…the most sense actually. It’s no secret that Matt Hasselbeck has trouble staying on the field. The Seahawks have to believe they will not be picking this low again anytime soon and have to consider the future with a guy that they say could have been #1 overall had he stayed at USC.
Previous Picks: Eugene Monroe (13,12,11,10,9,8,7), Michael Crabtree, WR (6,5,4,3,2,1)
5. B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College |Video|
Pass rush has been the theme for the most part here for us with the Browns. Michael Crabtree spent a short stint here and now we move on to Raji. Why? Adding Raji to the D-Line with Shaun Rogers makes this one tough first wave to run through. That is a good thing in the AFC North.
The Browns can go a number of directions with this pick, including Brian Orakpo. People are starting to become leary of the Texas softness with Orakpo and it could cause the Browns to pass on him. If not they will still havea solid pick if they were to take him and would be addressing the more pressing need.
Previous Picks: Michael Crabtree, WR (13), Brian Orakpo,DE (12,11,10,9,8,7,6) Aaron Curry, OLB (5,4,3,2,1)
6. Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia |Video|Video|
It’s just too hard to ignore the fact that the Bengals are going to have to prevent Carson Palmer from getting killed. The Bengals will happily swip up Monroe if he were to fall this far. Adding him to the offensive line may add years to Carson Palmer’s life as well as spark the running game. Something that has been missing from the Bengals for some time.
Previous Picks: Andre Smith, OT (13,12,1), Michael Oher(11,10,9,8), OT, B.J. Raji (7)Eugene Monroe, OT (6,5,4,3,2)
7. Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri |Video | Video|
The logical thinking is offensive tackle, to protect the high picks from the last two years. Insert Al Davis logic joke here. Bottom line is Al still wants playmakers. This pick could easily be on the defensive side of the ball. The Raiders are missing a peice on the offense at WR that you may have heard of. Young TE, Zack Miller,had more than twice the receptions (56) of the leading WR, Jonnie Lee Higgins (22). We have had Michael Crabtree going here for the last few updates but swithing back to the guy who has appeared here in five of the previous mocks. Jeremy Maclin would round out the triplets in Oakland for Al Davis.
Previous Picks: Jeremy Maclin, WR (13,12,11,6,5,4,3,1), Michael Crabtree, WR (10,9,8,7), Jason Smith, OT (2)
8. Michael Crabtree, WR,Texas Tech |Video | Video|Video|Video|
Crabtree returns to the Jaguars. But they signed Torry Holt. So what. This pick still makes sense for a few reasons. First, the Jags have not had luck filling the WR position so more is better. Two, what better guy for Crabtree to learn from than Holt? Third, You don’t pass on a Michael Crabtree just because you signed an aging WR.
Previous Picks: Mark Sanchez,QB (13), Michael Crabtree (12,11), Jeremy Maclin, WR (10,9,8,7,2), Jason Smith (5) Michael Oher(6,4,3), Eugene Monroe, OT(1)
9. Andre Smith, OT, Alabama |Video|
Defense BABY! 3-4 Baby! Aging OT’s with no depth Baby! We have went defense here through the whole process. With more consideration you have to look at the offensive line and know that the Packers need help. They have tackles reaching the end of their career and no depth behind them. They have a QB that people are concerned may be a little injury prone. If Andre Smith were to fall this far there is no way that he gets past the Packers.
Previous Picks: B.J. Raji,DT (13,12,11,10,9,8,6), Everett Brown, DE/OLB (7), Malcolm Jenkins, CB (5,4,3,2,1)
10. Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas |Video|Video|
This is another one of those tough spots to call. They can use help on the offensive line. They can use a QB. They can use a WR. What they certainly can use is a pass rush. There are concerns that Orakpo will carry the soft Texas curse with him. For his talent level the #10 spot is worth a flyer on.
Previous Picks: Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB (13), Andre Smith, OT (11,10,9,8,7,6) Michael Oher (5) Jason Smith, OT (4,3), Mark Sanchez, QB (12,2), Rey Maualuga, LB(1)
