So there it is. I'm not saying it won't change before the draft, but this is it for now.

Comments are encouraged, I'd like to hear all of your thoughts.

Sorry I couldn't do the big one for y'all.

I was expecting the big one, then your comp ruins it for all of us? Not cool...

I can see much this draft happening. Although I still think it would be tough for the Cowboys to take Williamson and pass on Merriman and Ware.

My only big disagreement with you CC is the Broncos taking Heath Miller. They would not have paid pretty big money to match the offer sheet to Putzier if they werent prepared to make him their pass-catching TE. It could still happen, but it would make the Broncos look like complete morons for keeping Putzier, and then letting Herndon walk leaving their #2 CB slot empty.

[IRON CHEF]

Nice mock, too bad your comp had to ruin the lenghty addition.

I have been touting Jamaal Brown as our pick for a long time, I like him over Barron and I am dearly hoping he is Ram within the next few days.

[Vikes_Fan2823]

Good as always CC, interesting seeing the Vikes taking 2 defensive players, haven't seen a mock with that happening. I don't think we would pass on Mark Clayton if he's there at 18.

I don't see the Dolphins going QB, I think they take a RB, and the Browns grab the available QB. Then the Bears grab Braylon, and Mike Williams falls to the Vikes. Then they grab defense at 18.

Draft related question - If both Mike Williams and Derrick Johnson are available at 7, who do you think the Vikes would take?

[Cornbread Maxwell]

CC - I really dont think the Lions are going to be using a 1st rd pick on Barron. If the top 9 went as you predicted, watch DET sell the rights to Cadilac Williams. They will more than likely trade down at that point - taking best offer. If not that, then they will look hard at one of the 2 remaining defensive secondary options: Davis or Rogers.

The Lions have made a number of upgrades to their OLine, and have a couple decent replacements for the departing McDougal in. Victor Rogers at one point was considered one of the better lineman to come out of college, but has since fought through a number of injuries - he should be healthy this yr. Kelly Butler was a rookie last yr, but could step into the strongside role relatively easily - much easier than if they had to play weakside. It could remain a weakness for this team if neither of them step up though.

Of course, with April being the National Liars League anything can happen, but it really would suprise me to see the Lions draft an OT like Barron at the 10th spot. We'll see.

i think minny go wr no matter what.

i think minny go wr no matter what.

If Minny stays at #7, DJ is available, and they are still wanting Williamson or Clayton, I would expect a trade. No way does Minny take Williamson or Clayton at #7 overall.

I like the mock CC. I sure hope you are right about the Bears grabbing Edwards or Williams, but my gut (and the fact that the Bears have a knack for dissapointing me) tells me to expect a RB at the #4 slot.

Looks great though and I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I totally forgot about the Bronco's signing Putzier, this works out perfectly though since I wanted to give Miller to the Jets at #26 and I can just switch a corner with Miller.

CBM, I totally agree with you. Barron is the pick I felt least certain about in the entire draft. If the top 9 plays out that way I would assume that the Lions would trade down for Thomas Davis or Erasmus James. I felt that Barron was the only player worth that slot that filled a need for the Lions.

I gotta point this out one more time. If the vikings pick a WR, the trade becomes Moss for Harris and ( one of this years receivers) and thats just a joke. If they take DJ, they very well may win that deal. If hes available, they take him IMO

If they can get Mike Williams, I don't see that as a joke
