NFLDraftScout 2007 1st round mock draft

That Guy

it is, but they have some free previews and have been the most accurate in mocks (at least in 2006).

Once the combine comes, a bunch of guys will fly up the charts, some of whom will deserve it, and others who don't (archuleta has always had great numbers and played far below what they'd indicate).

btw, they rate gaines as the #7 guy and anderson as the #11, so they aren't that far apart.

I read one earlier on Yahoo Sport's but I'm stoned so I cant find it for shit. It had the Skins getting Adam Gaines as well but it had Brady Quinn MUCH lower, going to the Raiders in the 10th or 11th pick I think.

I'll take Gaines.

I would like to see us trade down and get a MLB and a CB. How many DE's drafted at #1 panned out? Look at Houston's #1 overall pick Mario Williams last year. He only had 4.5 sacks.

GoSkins!

I get the feeling that we are going to have trouble trading our #6 pick. I still think the skin find some way to get a 3rd round pick (or therabout). Probably trading away a pick from next year or something.

I think that until we see what we get in the free agent market, I can't be sure how we should pick.

i think thats a bad mock draft. jamarcus russel all the way down to 7? hall to 12? anderson at 18? terrible mock draft. nfldraftcountdown.com is much better

If we go for a MLB and pass on a defensive tackle, then we'll have the same run-stopping problems in '07 that we did last year. Griff, Salave'a and Golston will get trampled and whoever we get at linebacker will be forced to deal with unblocked O-linemen 4 yards later.

We need penetration up front. Get a D-tackle. Get Branch.

Ever since our last experiment in the first round from Clemson, Gaines Adams makes me weary.

rod gardener?

Yes that was Rod Gardner. I know that's not a good measure to use when drafting a completely different player.

I just think defensive tackle is more of a need. If we had a second round pick, to me, it would be a toss-up between corner and defensive end.

That Guy

except that it blew countdown away in accuracy last year (and probably the year before), so i'm not really sure why you'd think it's so terrible. After workouts they'll all change anyways.

about 50% pan out. its the same rate as QBs and WRs. you should NEVER judge a guy after his rookie year though. alex smith had 1 td and 11 ints, but last year he was actually respectable. some guys just take a while longer to learn the NFL, and DEs and WRs are two of the positions that can take a couple years to get down.

how many killer DEs go on the FA market though? about the same number of elite LTs, which is maybe 1 per year, if you're lucky. Some times you've just gotta draft your own instead of hoping a stud falls out of the sky for you :/.

I actually tend to think there are going to be a lot of people who would be willing to trade up. WR Johnson, QB Quinn, QB Russell, RB Peterson, OT Thomas, and DT Branch make up a nice top 6 players and I've got to think that someone is going to want to grab whomever is left at 6.

As I've said for some time, I'd love to trade down and nab Patrick Willis and another draft pick so maybe I want to believe that someone is going to be willing to trade up.
