Bi- Monthly draft checkup
1. Oakland
JaMarcus Russell QB
My only mistake here is in trying to be logical.
2. Detroit
Joe Thomas OT
Matt Millen takes the most sensible route despite himself.
3t. Cleveland
Adrian Peterson RB
RAC has many needs, but Peterson belongs in this spot.
4. Tampa Bay
Calvin Johnson WR
Gruden gets his dream draftee.
5. Arizona
Gaines Adams DE
Many needs on OLine but no logical fit there. Adams is the best available given their needs. He can be the “difference maker they have lacked on their front 7.
6. Washington
Alan Branch DT
Square peg. Definitely need help on the front 7, esp. in the middle. Branch w/ his talent & versatility is like manna from the gods. They’d like to trade down ( I believe they only have 1 1st day pick). Many have Branch sliding a bit, but I think his combination of athleticism/size makes him a fit here.
7. Minnesota
Brady Quinn QB
I know they picked a QB last year, but Quinn is much, much better than Jackson. And he is much more NFL ready. Most have them picking WR but I don’t see one in this spot.
8. Houston
Jamaal Anderson DE
DE’s two years in a row? Anderson’s ability to play in the opponents backfield makes this actually a smart choice. Now w/ Mario, DeMeco & Jamaal Houstons D can make a little noise.
9. Miami
La Ron Landry S
So many needs w/ their aging D, uncertain WR’s & QB’s. I give them the best defender available.
10. Atlanta
Levi Brown OT
Area of need & value.
11. San Francisco
Ted Ginn WR
Ginn’s stock slides a bit after his announcement that he won’t run @ the Combine, and perhaps still won’t be able to @ Pro days. Too Talented to slide much more.
12. Buffalo
Leon Hall CB
Meet Clements replacement, though I almost gave them P Willis. Remember this is the same group that brought you Whitner & McCargo in the first last year so they might jump on Marshawn Lynch here.
13. St. Louis
Amobe Okoye DT
I have a feeling that he might go much higher than this. StL has big problems w/ the D middle so I’ll put him here.
14. Carolina
Patrick Willis LB
I healthy, large, fast MLB. They have other needs but…
15. Pittsburgh
Adam Carricker DE
They can almost play “Best Player Available”,. I’d normally give the a CB, but instead I’ll give them Carricker as he is a potential difference-maker, and there are always talented CB’s that slide into the 2nd.
16. Green Bay
Marshawn Lynch RB
What the hell… everyone else has him going here.
17. Jacksonville
Reggie Nelson S
They could use some weapons on offense, but they picked 2 WR’s in 3 years. Well’ try S this time as it also a black hole.
18. Cincinnati
Greg Olson TE
I could see them loving this guy in CinCin, now they should just send out the FBI for a complete background check.
19. Tennessee
Dwayne Bowe WR
Toys for Vince. Nice big target w/ good polish.
20. N.Y. Giants
Lawrence Timmons LB
They need db help as well, but the LB play was terrible last year.
21. Denver
Jarvis Moss DE
I see the DLine as the issue esp. re: pass rush.
22. Dallas
Aaron Ross CB
I had them wanting a Free Safety, but there is a gap between Nelson and the next tier. They also could used a young WR as Glenn is aging, and who knows how long they will put up w/ TO games. Let them stay in-state and take Ross.
23. Kansas City
Dwayne Jarrett WR
I , Obviously, don’t share the love that many have for Jarrett, but he is a definite upgrade on the WR’s that they have. And he fits the “best player available” slot as well.
24. New England (from Seattle)
Darrelle Revis CB
Need & talent merge.
25NY Jets
Anthony Spenser DE/OLB
Speed and talent give a different look to the Jets D.
26. Philadelphia
Paul Posluszny LB
They could use an LB so I’ll give them one from instate.
27. New Orleans
Robert Meachem
Joe Horn who? They have needs on D as well.
28. New England
Ben Grubbs OG
I’ll duck now, but he is the most talented on my “pats prospects” board.
29. Baltimore
Chris Houston CB
A Thomas might change the direction of this pick. Rolle was toasted regularly last year @cb
30. San Diego
Anthony Gonzales WR
Toys for Phillip.
31. Chicago
Zak Miller TE
A definite area of need.
32. Indianapolis
Jon Beason LB
I wavered between Beason/ Harrell. Harrell I think would be the better fit/ value if he gets medical OKs.
