NFL Draft
 

Do we have any NFL draft watchers in the house?

I must say that I enjoy watching the NFL draft (meaning, having it on while I do other things, like putting a crib together this weekend).

I particularly enjoy seeing who my team is picking, who unexpectedly falls, and which MWC players get drafted.

I saw a 7 round mock draft that has Philly taking Bryan Kehl in the 3rd round. Beau Bell was a 5th rounder, as was Davic Roch (TCU) and Tommy Blake fell to the 7th.

I think that if Blake can get his act together, he could be a real steal.

If they got the draft to the point where there were 3 minutes between picks, I would start watching.

I like seeing who the Jets pick in the first round.

I am doing a mock draft on friday with some buddies (one of which posts on this board) and then I will watch every minute of the draft on both saturday and sunday. I love the NFL draft!

Kiper said if Matt Ryan isn't picked in the first 8 picks, he will quit the business.

He said this on Mike&Mike.

Ryan will go to either Atlanta at 3, Kansas City at 5 or Baltimore at 8. No way he slides past Baltimore with Steve Mcnair retiring.

I will watch every minute of the NFL draft.

My top 5 looks like this for now:

1. Miami- Jake Long
2. St. Louis- Glenn Dorsey
3. Atlanta- Matt Ryan
4. Oakland- Darren Mcfadden (Howies boy will be hard to pass up here, but Al Davis loves the sexy pick)
5. Chiefs- Chris Long


6. Jets- Vernon Gholston
7. Patriots- Mike Jenkins (I think they take a corner or LB here, Rodgers-Cromartie, Jenkins, Talib and Mckelvin are all even)
8. Baltimore- Sedrick Ellis (with Ngata and Ellis, Baltimore is sitting pretty for a long time at D-line)
9. Bengals- Keith Rivers (they were awful at LB last year, Rivers is a nice piece)
10. Saints- Leodis Mckelvin

Also since I am a Miami fan I think Miamis draft looks like this:

1.(1) Jake Long: OT, Michigan
2.(32) Malcom Kelly : WR, Oklahoma (if they trade Jason Taylor this could be Lawrence Jackson, it could also very easily be Chad Henne)
2. (57) Antoine Cason: CB, Arizona (not sure if he falls this far but if not him then another corner possibly Patrick Lee)
3. (64) Joe Flacco:QB, Deleware (they will take a QB in either the 2nd or 3rd round of this draft)
4. (100) Jermichael Finley: TE, Texas (they really need a tight end in this offense)
6. (196) Nick Hayden: DT, Wisconsin (the 6th round is where your scouts make their money)
6. (204)Jonathen Hefney: S, Tennessee (they looked like BYU at the safety position last year, starting 5 safeties on the season)
7. (208) Allen Patrick: RB, Oklahoma (this could also be a little more help on the O-line)
7. (245) Marcus Monk: WR, Arkansas

I would also not be surprised if Jason Taylor is traded (probably a late first or early second round as well as a future 4th or 5th round pick) and Miami packages a few other picks to move up.

I don't think Flacco will go to the third round. Sorry.

You are right. He won't make it past the middle of the 2nd round.
