H2o Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Carolina Panthers -Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson* Denver Broncos- Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn* Buffalo Bills - Von Miller, OLB, Texas AM Cincinnati Bengals - A.J. Green, WR, Georgia* Arizona Cardinals - Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri The Cardinals have needs at guard, right tackle, tight end, 3-4 outside linebacker and cornerback, but none is bigger than their need at quarterback. Gabbert is still a work in progress, but he's the most complete signal-caller in this class. His accuracy is far better than his statistics indicate, he has the arm strength to drive the ball vertically (which is what the Cardinals want in their starting quarterback) and he has the work ethic and football intelligence to quickly emerge as a solid starter. Cleveland Browns - Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama* San Francisco 49ers - Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU* Tennessee Titans - Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska Dallas Cowboys - J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin* Washington Redskins - Cam Newton, QB, Auburn* Houston Texans - Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado Minnesota Vikings - Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina* Quinn falls here because of the suspension that cost him the entire 2010 season, and the Vikings take advantage. Their defense is aging, and two of their defensive ends -- starter Ray Edwards and backup Brian Robison -- are free agents. The team would like to find its future franchise quarterback here, but Locker needs too much time to develop. Detroit Lions - Nate Solder, OT, Colorado St. Louis Rams - Julio Jones, WR, Alabama* Miami Dolphins - Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama* Jacksonville Jaguars - Adrian Clayborn, DE, Iowa New England Patriots (from Oakland) - Cameron Jordan, DE, California San Diego Chargers - Aldon Smith, DE/OLB, Missouri* New York Giants - Tyron Smith, OT, USC* Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue* Kansas City Chiefs - Akeem Ayers, OLB, UCLA* Indianapolis Colts - Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College Philadelphia Eagles - Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin New Orleans Saints - Justin Houston, OLB, Georgia* Seattle Seahawks - Jake Locker, QB, Washington Locker's stock took a big hit this season, but we still think he will come off the board in the first round. The Seahawks are not completely settled at quarterback and could do worse than bringing in a local hero with a lot of upside, and if they don't pull the trigger, we could see a team trade back into the late first round to get Locker. Baltimore Ravens - Randall Cobb, WR, Kentucky* The Ravens need speed at wide receiver, and Cobb is an underrated offensive weapon who would fit the bill. He's a very savvy route-runner and can contribute in the return game. Baltimore also could look to fill needs at cornerback or defensive end. Atlanta Falcons - Mike Pouncey, C/G, Florida The Falcons are definitely in the market for a pass-rusher, but there is none on the board worth the pick. Atlanta also needs to upgrade its interior offensive line, and Pouncey makes perfect sense given his ability to contribute immediately at either center or guard. New England Patriots - Dan Watkins, G, Baylor The Patriots got their defensive end earlier in the first, and no pass-rusher or running back is worth taking here. Watkins is a fast-rising line prospect who plays with an edge, and although he played tackle in college, he is a better fit inside at the NFL level. This is also a prime spot for teams picking early in the second round to possibly trade back into the first. New England has plenty of options. Chicago Bears - Corey Liuget, DT, Illinois* New York Jets - Phil Taylor, NT, Baylor The Jets need a reliable presence in the middle of their 3-4 defense, and veteran NT Kris Jenkins has played just seven games combined in the past two seasons. Taylor has the size to anchor the middle of that three-man front and surprisingly good feet for a 350-pound prospect. Pittsburgh Steelers - Benjamin Ijalana, OT, Villanova Ijalana is an under-the-radar FCS prospect, but he possesses good physical tools and a lot of upside. A lack of depth along the offensive line was an issue for the Steelers in 2010, and assuming Ijalana's nagging minor injuries have healed, he could add depth while preparing for a full-time starting job. Green Bay Packers - Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple* Wilkerson has impressive size and overall power and would be a very good fit as a 5-technique in defensive coordinator Dom Capers' 3-4 scheme. He can stack and shed against the run and is a power pass-rusher with active hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I liked Von Miller better when he was called Aaron Curry. Aaron Curry Draft Scount Von Miller Draft Scount Aaron Curry has been alright but not worthy of the number 4 pick. I fear the same fate for Von Miller.

truth on hold Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Well if we must reach at defense then at least make it a position of need at OLB. To all those that keep hyping Fairley ... he won't be BPA and he's not a position of need. He's a 4-3 DT, in 3-4 he's too small to play NT and not agile enough to be an edge rusher at DE. Think of how Warren Sapp was a force in Tampa's 4-3, and a dud in Oakland's 3-4. And Fairley doesn't have anywhere near the pursuit capability of Sapp in the first place.

DDD Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Mayock loves Von Miller....which is why Von Miller shot up on McShay's big board. McShay praised the Maybin pick which tells you all you need to know about his draft "insight." Edited February 11, 2011 by Mr. Wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Guess McFly hasn't seen the For Sale sign on Palmer's front lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qdawg in philly Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) I want phil taylor in the second. I hope he doesn't go to the jets. If he pans out like I think he will, we'll have to see him twice a season. Edited February 11, 2011 by qdawg in philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
