Astrobot Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Drafttek was asked to prepare a mock draft for Fanball.com, who will be putting out a Draft magazine in April shortly before the NFL Draft. Over the past couple days, we team analysts got together and we produced our entry - listed below. It's a hybrid computerchoice/analystchoice model which largely resembles CMD#19 over on the DraftTek website. The deviations begin with the NY Giants at #15, and of course once there is one little crack in the windshield, chaos ensues. The guys picking at the end of this draft made comments like "I'm surprised that [Georgia Tech running back] Jonathan Dwyer is still available" Ditto for Jason Pierre-Paul. For Discussion: 1) Who went too early? (My opinion: Dez Bryant) 2) Who should be in the 1st round but wasn't drafted? (I'll start - Golden Tate) 3) Bad pick? (Pouncey to Houston at #20) 4) Great picks? (Clausen to SEA 1 pick before Cleveland, Bills pick of Bulaga, Miami taking Spiller (grr), Odrick to Dallas) 1 STL Bradford 2 DET Suh 3 TB McCoy 4 WSH Okung 5 KC McClain 6 SEA Clausen 7 CLE Berry 8 OAK Campbell 9 BUF Bulaga 10 JAX Haden 11 DEN Bryant 12 MIA Spiller 13 SF Thomas 14 SEA Charles Brown 15 NYG Dan Williams 16 TEN Dunlap 17 SF Iupati 18 PIT Anthony Davis 19 ATL Morgan 20 HOU Pouncey 21 CIN Gresham 22 NE Graham 23 GB Trent Williams 24 PHI Sapp 25 BAL McCourty 26 ARI Kindle 27 DAL Odrick 28 SD Mathews 29 NYJ Hughes 30 MIN Price 31 IND Dwyer 32 NO Pierre-Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 3) Bad pick? (Pouncey to Houston at #20) How is that a bad pick, guys like him more than Wood last year and some like him more than Mack. Pierre-Paul is going to be a top 15 pick so they got the best value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Houston could definitely use another RB like Spiller to take some pressure off of Slaton, so I agree with Astrobot that that's a bad move. And I also don't like that Miami gets him Bryant probably will go too early...how funny would it be if Oakland took him? :lol: Plus, I like that we are getting Bulaga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a top-15 talent IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre-Paul is going to be a top 15 pick so they got the best value Pouncey is late first at best. This is too early. I'll say Dallas at #27 at the earliest and RD2#5 to Washington at the latest. RD2#1 to St. Louis has been a popular spot. Agree with Pierre-Paul to a 4-3 team would be the best value at that pick, especially if matched with team needs.

dgrid Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 8 OAK Campbell9 BUF Bulaga Leave it to Oakland to take Campbell over Bulaga. (assuming that bruce campbell) Works for me tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Leave it to Oakland to take Campbell over Bulaga. (assuming that bruce campbell)Works for me tho! Uncle Al Davis likes shiny objects, don't he?! Another draft I've seen has him choosing Dez Bryant here. With Al ahead of us, anything is possible. Here's one: Imagine having at #9 the choice of Clausen Morgan, Derrick - DE - Georgia Tech Bryant, Dez - WR - Oklahoma St. Mcclain, Rolando - ILB - Alabama Bulaga, Bryan - T - Iowa Increidble!

Pirate Angel Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Bulaga may be the best option for us. He is the most polished and ready LT in the draft. As of right now we dont have a stop gap guy to fill in at LT for a year while our future prospect gets polished at RT. We need him to come in at LT and solidify the position from day one.

Fully agree; Bulaga is the most NFL-ready. Campbell is the young physical phenom with impressive combine who "could" be the next Jason Smith. Sound like Maybin? Davis has the weight, power, arm width but is more raw than Bulaga--possibly more upside. I suspect at worst 1 of these 3 will be there at #9.

I think the Bills need the guy who will be an immediate impact, which is Bulaga. Anyone of them has a good shot of being a good LT, but if we get our choice, I would want Bulaga.

Thoner7 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Bulaga is the best fit for the Bills. Which means someone else will take him before we we will pass on him for a much worse T when we pick. Fixed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
