NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

1. OAKLAND RAIDERS: JAMARCUS RUSSELL (QB-LSU):
-Little known fact: Lane Kiffin was really hired to be JaMarcus’ wingman

2. DETROIT LIONS: LEVI BROWN (OT-Penn State)
-Well the south side of Detroit is the baddest part of town. And if you go down there you better just beware of a man named Levi Brown. Bad Bad Levi Brown

3. CLEVELAND BROWNS: BRADY QUINN (QB-NOTRE DAME)
-The hot rumor is that the Panthers are looking to trade up to get Quinn, so this could be a prime spot for them to move up to.

4. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: GAINES ADAMS (DE-CLEMSON)
-What’s so great about him? Really, I don’t see it

5. ARIZONA CARDINALS: JOE THOMAS (OT-WISCONSIN)
-The perfect fit for a Whisenhunt/Grimm led offense

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

I personally like who the mock draft is predicting for us. He will provide some strength to possibly our biggest weakness from last season. From interviews I've seen of him, he seems like a nice kid too.

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

we r pickin adams dude. he is a freak

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

Adams is much better than people realize. I still say DE is the greater need.

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

I would visit more often if it were not for nonsense posted from this Tafkas person.:Smoker:

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

we need a big defense tackle to take up blocks so carter and our linebackers can make plays.

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

laron seems pretty low, and the giants picking ANOTHER DE? they got two younger guys there already.

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

if the draft really went like this. i think we could trade the pick to someone who is really high on calvin johnson. maybe the falcons would swap picks and give a third rounder up to pick him

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

bad, bad levi brown? i live right in the heart of p.s.u. country, and the linebacker is the only one their talking about. sorry, i cant spell that polish guys name:(

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0

tafkas what do you know about Jamal Anderson from Arkansas? thats who Mel Kiper has the skins taking

[QUOTE=dmek25;277521]tafkas what do you know about Jamal Anderson from Arkansas? thats who Mel Kiper has the skins taking[/QUOTE]

I like him. And I'd love to get him here. My concern with him, and Gaines Adams, is tht they're both very athletic pass-rushers (similar to Andre Carter) and the defense might benefit more overall from a down in the trenches DT like Branch. But I don't think either Anderson or Branch is a bad choice.

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

I think you're crazy for having Anderson fall. Pass rushing monsters go early. He is a top 10 guy unless he blows his workouts. I'd be stoked to get Branch but I think Anderson will be the better player in the long run.

He shouldn't fall that far, but I tried to mix it up a bit so it's not just the conventional order you see on every mock draft. Plus there's always some surprise

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

hehehe...look at Pittsburg's...its a riot

Nice ... Jim Croche is the man!

Also, well done on the whole article ... very funny and witty (especially the part about the Redskins draft pick).

[QUOTE]7. MINNESOTA VIKINGS: CALVIN JOHNSON (WR-GEORGIA TECH)
-A completely wasted pick if Tavaris Jackson is the one throwing him the ball.[/QUOTE]

This will never happen. IMO, I dont think he will get past the Raiders at #1. The Raiders can get a QB via free agaency(Byron LEftwich, JAke Plummer, & maybe David Carr). Then they get another Bigger Stronger Moss drafted #1 overall. CJ wont make it past the browns or bucs at #3 & #4, and if Dan Snyder has to make the pick himself, he will pick Calvin Johnson at #6. Its too enticing a pick for him.

Dont get it twisted. I want someone to pick CJohnson b4 us, so that we dont end up like the Lions!

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

Whoever Thinks That Levi Brown Will Get Picked Ahead Of Joe Thomas And At 2nd Overall Is A Complete Idiot And Trust Me If Calvin Johnson Drops To Tampa Bay They Will Scoop Him Up

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

great mock Tafkas, I loved the way you described our pick lol.

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

I think Branch goes before Adams.

Re: NFL Connection Mock Draft Ver. 2.0
 

since calvin johnson is still there, we trade him to falcons for their 1st and second and mebbe next year's third.
