Interesting mock draft

[bigm29]

Fantasy Football - Fanball.com

thats probably the best scenario i can see happening for the skins

[Meks]

meh, i'm not feelin it

[EXoffender]

I like that scenario. Harrell fills a need and is good value at that selection. At #28 there seems to be a quite a few top OL still left on the board even after all teams have selected. Guys who are rated higher than Purdue DE Spencer.

Sounds like something we would do, the stupidity that our front office personifies.

Stupid for who we would take at those spots.

Everyone thinks all you have to do is draft a player at a position of need and you have filled that need, not so! Take a look at last off season, and we still have a need for a pass rusher, and a safety, why?

Draft the best available player, we have so many holes to fill because of our stupidity, it would be just like us to trade down get 2 players who are average at best, and the Pats walk away with a perenial pro-bowler. The question must be asked, if the Pats are indeed willing to make this trade, why? Why not keep the picks and draft these players themselves? The one team that has proven to may be the best team in the NFL at spotting talent, is willing to give up 2 #1 picks to draft Landry, why?

So with a defensive line that needs a run stuffer and a pass rusher, why would it be stupid to take two first round talents to fill them as opposed to betting the ranch that one guy is going to make a difference?

How do you know that the Pats are going to pick Landry?

Since offensive and defensive success is predicated on line play, you can't honestly think the Redskins defense would be better off taking a rookie safety over two defensive linemen. If you do, you need one of Al Koken's virtual physicals.

Why do the Eagles only draft linemen with their first round picks year in and year out? Because it makes sense.

Well first off if you would pay attention they are not first round talent, they are second round talent, so it would be stupid to take them in the forst round, but of coarse that is are MO we over pay for talent.

Second if you would pay attention the article refering to this trade said they would probaly move up to take Landry to take over for Harrison.

But does it really matter who they move up and take? If they do move up it's because they see more value with 1 player than with 2!

Please don't compare our personel department with the eagles, as they will actually draft a player that belongs in the first round. But part of the reason they draft lineman is because of there ability to draft other players later in the draft, example Westbrook, we give up the farm for Portis, they take Westbrook later in the draft and he becomes every bit as valuable if not more to them for minimal $, then Portis is for us at 52 million. That is why they can draft lineman, we are not that savvy.

So in closing by all means draft these 2 guys just like we had to give up a #2 this draft for Rocky. Having a need and properly filling it are 2 totally differnet things.

The Lions didn't NEED all those wide receivers, but their philosophy was to take the best players available. How'd that work out?

We have gaping holes with the pass rush and run stoppers up front. You think we should just ignore that and draft Adrian Peterson?

Did they take the best player available? OBVIOUSLY NOT!

They took big Mike Williams funny right before that draft we were conteplating taking him and I said he could be a huge bust he was to slow of foot getting off the line, funny they couldn't see it? So the fact is they have the right philosophy but have no idea how to impliment it because of thier inability to evaluate talent.

Why would we draft Peterson? Portis is better right?

But we should draft CJ if he's available, even though we are stocked at WR from last season's spending binge. CJ is a can't miss barring injury!

How did our pick of Rocky work out last draft? Apparently we still need a LB. And that's what this is about if you can't fill that need with a bonified stud [pro-bowler] at the 6 spot then fill another need!

I don't mind trading down, but we better trade down for the right players!

I sense a "Keep it in the Draft Forum" smackdown coming...

That would be a great move by the front office. Exactly why it won't happen.

[BeastsoftheNFCeast]

Our front office would definately do this, the problem is that NE's front office is super smart and they are great at drafting, which is why this trade would never happen, its not good for NE who builds through the draft, not through a few select impact players.

[GMScud]

Wow. I like that mock draft. It's different than the others I've seen in the major media outlets. This guy actually had the balls to predict some trades. I can certainly see Tampa switching places with Detroit. I know how much the Bucs covet Calvin Johnson, and the Lions have made no secret about how they want out of that #2 pick.

Justin Harrell and Anthony Spencer, huh? Two guys who could vastly improve our D-line. One's an end, one's a tackle... I like it. Harrell's a beast. He played against Florida last year despite having a torn biceps. Tough as nails.

Until this year this wouldn't seem like a move NE would make, but after they shelled out some relatively big $ in free agency this year, they may be more inclined to go after Landry if they feel he can make an impact immediately.

I do agree w/the idea, we could have our problems solved for several years provided Golston & Carter maintain.
