1.01 Freddy - LT
Is it just me, or has San Diego fallen off the radar after an underachieving year in 2007? And if I'm not mistaken, Gates underperformed (particularly if you look at his draft position every year!), Chambers continued his atrocious reception %, and Vincent Jackson looks the part but hasn't played it...smells like LT will have as much of the pie as he wants with Turner gone!
1.02 SchoolGirls - Steven Jackson
The buzz is Jackson is a bit banged up in the groin region which is certainly cause for concern - but hesitation, not a chance. Way too much upside in a fantasy world with few dynamite fulltime backs in a weaker division. Plus, he can and will catch the heck out of the ball...
1.03 UCB - Thomas Brady
Never drafted a quality player in the 1st round so looks like Brady will fall victim to the UCB curse in 2008! But, how can you pass up on 40+ and a 300 ypg average?
1.04 Flava - AP
Welcome home, AP! Better grab Chester a bit earlier than you think...think how you snagged LJ a few years back to rain on the Juiceman's handcuff! Monster TD numbers but the consistent production will likely be lacking for a top #4 pick.
1.05 Juice - Reggie Wayne
Curve ball? Only if you haven't paid attention to who is already on his roster and the history of Jason Robert Senuta... Consider yourself warned.
1.06 D&D - Portis
The love affair of 2008, right Conley? You have been drooling over the positive pub he's getting on the East Coast for weeks now... You might be right, but I have 15.9 million reasons to question him here.
1.07 PE - Addai
Safe pick. Right spot. Defending champ decision.
1.08 Ninja - Moss
Infatuation with all things Patriot is an understatement. You hate Brady being off the board yet relish the opportunity to passive aggressively get UCB back - well, I'll take the younger guy who doesn't get hit anyday. Sorry.
1.09 DNice - Westbrook
Classic DNice. Like a vulture on the Savannah you swoop in to capture the latest prey... Kinda funny since Westbrook is always wounded anyway!
1.10 Brain - Barber
Like the pick but LOVE how the Cowboys are going to carry your roster for week one. Plus, there is nothing like the trade value they'll command in early September - like a Honda - Cowboys never lose value! Smart decision!
2.01 Brain - TO
Sexy pick but does he ever get kickers? Not as many as you'ld think being the 3rd WR off the board...
2.02 Dnice - Manning
Come to Papa, Peyton...Take me back to the Promise Land as all stud QBs do.
2.03 Ninja - Braylon
Same pick. Different year. You always draft someone based on hype so grabbing Braylon ahead of Fitz is dare I say, TOO EARLY! If you don't mind me asking, do MJD and Turner really make you comfortable?
2.04 PE - Fitzgerald
Look at what Big Dan found in the 2nd - a studly, consistent, young WR who has been paid yet working on his next monster contract. Thanks for making the strong - stronger, Ninja!
2.05 D&D - Andre Johnson
Somewhat negative press now but in August I'm sure everyone will forget his permanent spot on the sidelines...or, maybe the fact that his knee is still getting scoped 9 months later is a sign. A sign that there are healthier WRs out there for a 2nd round pick!
2.06 Juice - Houshmandzadeh
TJ is to 85 as Reggie is to Harrison. That's right - the #2 performs better than the "#1"
2.07 Flava - #85
Is it the gold teeth? The gold HOF jacket? Or is he just Fool's Gold...book him!
2.08 UCB - Burress
Plax in the 2nd? Actually, the 3rd if you consider Colston and Marshall are already off the board and on my roster! I can't wait to see the WR pool for the rest of you...
2.09 SchoolGirls - Steve Smith
I hope Matt Moore can get it done...
2.10 Freddy - Boldin
This feels about right - after the true studs and before the occassional studs. Kinda like his contract, right Anquan?
3.01 Freddy - Holt
Big game and bigger desire to get out of St. Louis...potential motivation or source of frustration?
3.02 SchoolGirls - Roy Williams
Wrong Lion, Drury...
3.03 UCB - Marshawn "The HitMan" Lynch
Hits holes like they're innocent bystanders in the wee hours of the morning...not to mention he takes it to the house!
3.04 Flava - McGahee
You've always had a soft spot for Willis. Which back-up you gonna draft first, now?
3.05 Juice - Larry Johnson
Justified slip? Well, running behind a line like that can't be good for a cry baby... There's a lot to be said for upside with a high floor but LJ's been livin' in the basement!
3.06 D&D - Ronnie Brown
Back for his second tour only this time, he's coming off serious injury and contending with Ricky. Smart pick - only if you pass! Your name says it all though...
3.07 PE - Hines Ward
You sense this passing offense is going from good to great in 2008. But one has to wonder, do you grab the guy everyone thinks is the #1 or make a move for the guy who actually is the #1? You're too safe to gamble in the 3rd...Puss!
3.08 Ninja - Maroney
Every bone in your body suggests this isn't the right pick but these bones are also telling you that your backfield is made up of flex guys right now...time to reach!
3.09 DNice - Coles
Welcome home! Since you left, I got your brother from another mother - meet Mr. Welker!
3.10 Brain - Bush
You can't believe THE REGGIE BUSH is here! He's a fine pick if your running back doesn't need to run...
4.01 Brain - Matt Forte
Pounding the KoolAid in ChiTown. Let's face it - Benson was never going to be successful after the ugly hold-out. Unfortunately, the line is that much older and the QB continues to be in flux... Is this a good situation for a rookie? Well, at least the other Adrian Peterson is there to take some heat (and valuable carries and targets!)
4.02 DNice - Fast Willie Parker
Who doesn't love a guaranteed 1,000 yard back...anyone who knows who Mendanhall is.
4.03 Ninja - Santonio Holmes
You had him two years ago and have felt empty ever since... well, he's back and is actually worthy of a roster spot this time , unlike a past reach - Lamont Jordan!
4.04 PE - Jamal Lewis
Nothing like a fulltime back behind an outstanding line. Let's hope the wheels don't fall off in 2008 but getting him in the 4th is a low risk/high reward play...
4.05 D&D - Calvin Johnson
Likely not here in August but you need a break looking at this mock!
4.06 Juice - Winslow
First TE off the board in the 4th?! Surprising fall? Nope. Before Gates? Brilliant! Nice job, Commish...
4.07 Flava - Antonio Gates
He's gone at your next pick and you know Cooley is only in your mind because you're in Skin's Country. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Richard!
4.08 UCB - Jonathan Stewart
There's a reason Freddy didn't keep DeAngelo...allow me to introduce him.
4.09 SchoolGirls - McFadden
Reaching for a big name rookie, are ya...how often do rookie running backs produce? Not often. However, when they are competing with the incumbent starter (Fargas) and an afterthought 2nd year beast (Bush) this situation doesn't fit the bill. This night is shaping up to be earlier than mine in Philly!
4.10 Freddy - Thomas Jones
Savvy play but is it smart? Faneca is good and will make this line much better...but this is a committee if I've ever seen one.
5.01 Freddy - Chambers
I suppose this due to a lack of options at this point...
5.02 SchoolGirls - Carson Palmer
In a desperate effort to regain your footing, you grab the most hyped QB of 2007...newsflash, it's 2008, Michael. Shoulda waited another 5 rounds!
5.03 UCB - LenDale The Hut
I have a fondness for big eaters - that's why I've known Ricky since Kindergarten. Well, do they get any bigger than LenDale? Butterbean. But he's not available...
5.04 Flava - Santana Moss
Sneaky pick but I wonder if the rest of us might actually be missing something with this Moss...it wouldn't surprise me if Santana isn't here come draft night.
5.05 Juice - Marvin Harrison
My how the mighty have fallen...thanks for making the pick nobody wanted to make! I hate to tell you but you missed your shot at a sliding WR last year..Marvin is more like a plummet!
5.06 D&D - Rudi Johnson
Rudi in the first one year - the fifth the next. Two words: not good. Shoulda waited and grabbed Kenny Watson much later... At least he catches the ball!
5.07 PE - Vincent Jackson
Big target. Bigger letdown. Enjoy!
5.08 Ninja - Big Ben
Reach Alert! If you make a move for a QB grab someone who actually gets kickers...
5.09 DNice - Greg Jennings
Another vet to the old DNice roster - but this pick only makes sense if one legendary, injury free vet comes out of retirement...
5.10 Brain - Donald Driver
At least his name conjures up Double D's...and that's not tuddies, Brain!
