NFL Mock Draft 1.0

Figured I would try my hand at this. I look for Miami to trade the pick, possibly to New England. They have no problem parting with draft picks and the Dolphins need all the help they can get. Look for the no 7, a 2nd, 3rd round pick, and a first and second rounder to go to Miami for McFadden.

*1.New England(from Miami)-Darren McFadden(RB-Arkansas)
2St. Louis-Jake Long(OT-Michigan)
3Oakland-Glenn Dorsey(DT-LSU)
4.Atlanta-Andre Woodson(QB-Kentucky)
5.Kansas City-Ryan Clady(OT-Boise St)
6.New York Jets-Chris Long(DE-Virginia)
7.Miami (from NE via San Francisco)-Sedrick Ellis(DT-USC)
8.Baltimore-Matt Ryan(QB-Boston College)
9.Cincinnati-Keith Rivers(LB-USC)
10.New Orleans-Mike Jenkins(CB-USC)
11.Buffalo-Malcolm Kelly(WR-Oklahoma)
12.Denver-Kenny Phillips(S-Miami)
13.Carolina-Brian Brohm(QB-Louisville)
14.Chicago-Sam Baker(OT-USC)
15.Detroit-Vernon Gholston(DE-Ohio St)
16.Arizona-Derrick Harvey(DE-Florida)
17.Minnesota-Reggie Smith(S-Oklahoma)
18.Houston-Jonathan Stewart(RB-Oregon)
19.Philadelphia-Jeff Otah(OT-Pitt)
20.Tampa Bay-DeSean Jackson(WR-Cal)
21.Washington-Kentwan Balmer(DT-North Carolina)
22.Dallas (from Cleveland)-Felix Jones(RB-Arkansas)
23.Pittsburgh-Duke Robinson(G-Oklahoma)
24.Tennessee-Early Doucet(WR-LSU)
25.Seattle-Rashard Mendenhall(RB-Illinois)
26.Jacksonville-Calais Campbell(DE-Miami)
27.San Diego-Quentin Groves(DE-Auburn)
28.Dallas-Limas Sweed(WR-Texas)
29.San Francisco (from Indianapolis)-Mario Manningham(WR-Michigan)
30.Green Bay-Aquib Talib(CB-Kansas)
31.New York Giants-Leodis McKelvin(CB-Troy)

Comments:

• I know the Andre Woodson pick sounds like homerism, but the fact that he is working to improve his stock while Brian Brohm and Matt Ryan sit out I believe will have an impact. In my opinion, Woodson will overtake Brohm as the second best QB and possibly overtake Matt Ryan as well.
  
• As a Bengals fan, I would love to see Keith Rivers or Sedrick Ellis in stripes next season. However, if Ryan Clady were to fall, the Bengals would have to seriously consider using a first rounder on the Boise St. product. Willie Anderson isn't getting any younger and the running game was abysmal due to the line collapsing. Cincinnati needs defense, but they need to take the best player who can help them right away on either side of the ball.
  
• I have the Patriots trading up for McFadden, which is sad given the rich will get richer. The Patriots showed last year they have no problem parting with draft picks to get the players they want, and in two cases it paid dividends by getting them the 7th overall pick this year, plus netting Randy Moss for a 4th rounder. That being said, I will be surprised if Bill Parcells decides to keep the 1st overall pick with so many holes to fill, especially if New England and potentially Dallas offer more picks to get them out.
  
• Speaking of Dallas, they have some issues on the offensive side of the ball I could see being addressed. Jerry Jones may not get McFadden, but Felix Jones isn't likely to disappoint if he is there late in the first. Terry Glenn is older and Terrell Owens is starting to head past his prime, and if Jessica Simpson doesn't leave Tony Romo soon, there could be turmoil in Dallas considering TO's history with QB's(Jeff Garcia and Donovan McNabb say hello).

I will have comments on the Kentucky-Tennessee game sometime Wednesday hopefully.
