Cleveland Browns - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma 4. Detroit Lions (trade w/ the Bucs) - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson 5. Arizona Cardinals - Joe Thomas, LT, Wisconsin (Sure Thing) 6.

Philadelphia Eagles - Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU 27. New Orleans Saints - Aaron Ross, CB, Texas 28. New England Patriots - Jon Beason, LB, Miami 29. Baltimore Ravens - Justin Blalock, OT, Texas 30. San Diego Chargers - Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee 31. Chicago Bears - Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn 32. Indianapolis Colts - Brandon Meriweather, FS, Miami edit 4/26/07 7:58pm - I made a few changes to my mock. I now have C. Johnson & G. Adams flipping spots but still going to the same teams due to a draft day trade. I have the Pats now taking Griffin with the 24th and then taking Beason with the 28th. This makes Meachem available to the Chargers at 30 and the Colts now take Meriweather wth the 32nd pick. D Jarrett drops out of the first round.
There will be a boatload of trades but anyway.. 1. Oakland Raiders - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame (sure thing?!) 2. Detroit Lions - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson (sure thing?!) 3. Cleveland Browns - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU 4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech (sure thing?!) 5. Arizona Cardinals - Levi Brown, OT, Penn State 6. Washington Redskins - Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville 7. Minnesota Vikings - LaRon Landry, S, LSU 8. Atlanta Falcons - Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin 9. Miami Dolphins - Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan 10. Houston Texans - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma 11. San Francisco 49ers - Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska 12. Buffalo Bills - Patrick Willis, LB, Ole Miss 13. St Louis Rams - Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas 14. Carolina Panthers - Reggie Nelson, S, Florida 15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh 16. Green Bay Packers - Marshawn Lynch, RB, California 17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas 18. Cincinnati Bengals - Leon Hall, CB, Michigan 19. Tennessee Titans - Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida 20. New York Giants - Eric Wright, CB, UNLV 21. Denver Broncos - Alan Branch, DT, Michigan 22. Dallas Cowboys - Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State 23. Kansas City Chiefs - Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee 24. New England Patriots - David Harris, ILB, Michigan 25. New York Jets - Greg Olsen, TE, Miami(FL) 26. Philadelphia Eagles - Paul Posluszny, OLB, Penn State 27. New Orleans Saints - Aaron Ross, CB, Texas 28. New England Patriots - Michael Griffin, S, Texas 29. Baltimore Ravens - Justin Blalock, OT, Texas 30. San Diego Chargers - Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee 31. Chicago Bears - Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn 32. Indianapolis Colts - Jon Beason, OLB, Miami(FL) I am praying that Griffin falls to us. The more I look at the film the more impressed I am. He can be an immediate impact player on special teams and work his way into the starting lineup by midseason.

Ok people. Some of you haven't posted your 3 "sure thing" picks. You're going to miss out on the bonus points if you don't select 3 of your picks as "sure thing" picks. Besides, there will be less chance of a tie with these bonus points, so do it.
my sure things Joe Thomas to the Cardinals at 5 Laron Landry to the Falcons at 8 Marshawn Lynch to the Packers at 16
Well Fellers let the bashing begin. Here is my mock. My mock draft round 1 1. Calvin Johnson WR 2. Jamarcus Russell QB 3. Brady Quinn QB 4. Amobi Okoye DT 5. Joe Thomas OT 6. Gaines Adams DE 7.

Steve Smith WR My Sure things are : Brady Quinn @ 3 Greg Olsen @ 16 Ryan Kalil @ 28 yes guys I do have us taking a LB @ 30. Only because I don't think we will pick there. OUT!!
I've updated my mock and Jarrett fell out of round one. I currently have him as a high second round pick. :icon_shrug:
Just so the rules are clear. Your points are based on the position you predict, and how close you are to that spot, not the team that you predict. For example if you pick a player to go #2 to team A, but team B trades up to the #2 spot and picks the player you predicted, you still get 5 points (10 if it was your "sure thing") for picking the player in the correct spot. Also if you pick a player to go to team A at the #10 spot for example & that team trades down and picks up that same player at the #16 spot, you wouldn't get any points. For this contest it's scored on the position, not the team.
i'll post my mock tomorrow night. I'm going to do a two round mock for BoltHype and i'll post my first round in this thread :icon_toast: thumper, are you serious about those tickets? That would be amazing!
Just for the record guys I really don't think Lynch will go to Green Bay but I'm too lazy to redo the draft so FU :icon_toast:
PS: #1 picks should be locked in I am the only one who has consistently stayed with Brady Quinn as #1 you can all KMA if you decide to switch 1 hr before the draft.
Here is my mock 2007 Lets all say a prayer that this is in fact the most accurate mock in the country especially for the Charger selections!!! 1. Oakland: JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU -- 2.

Once Choakland makes that first pick (Russell) there is going to be an effort to burn up the Detroit telephone line... I see Millen trading down a few spots and giving up the best WR on the board for a boat-load of draft picks.
I'm not specifying teams, because I don't think it matters for the sake of the contest. #1 - JaMarcus Russell - sure thing #2 - Calvin Johnson - sure thing #3 - Brady Quinn #4 - Joe Thomas #5 - Gaines Adams - sure thing #6 - Amobi Okoye #7 - Adrian Peterson #8 - Laron Landry #9 - Levi Brown #10 - Patrick Willis #11 - Alan Branch #12 - Marshawn Lynch #13 - Jamaal Anderson #14 - Greg Olsen #15 - Leon Hall #16 - Adam Carriker #17 - Reggie Nelson #18 - Darelle Revis #19 - Robert Maecham #20 - Joe Staley #21 - Chris Houston #22 - Ted Ginn Jr. #23 - Dwayne Bowe #24 - Aaron Ross #25 - Justin Blalock #26 - Michael Griffin #27 - Lawrence Timmons #28 - David Harris #29 - Jon Beason #30 - Dwayne Jarrett #31 - Paul Posluszny #32 - Justin Harrell
You are correct. For this contest you do not need to specify teams. I did in mine so you can get an idea what I was thinking, but it's not required.
No bashing from me. One of the reasons I set up this draft is because there is a very quantifiable score you'll get for your draft based on what actually happens. BTW- I will score these mock drafts as quickly as I can, but I imagine it will take some time, so please have some patience with me while I score them. I will start when the first round is completed, but to make it fair, I will give all the scores at the same time once I've finished.
