I signed up for this a while back and they just released their 1st draft guide of the year. Its pretty interesting and a 116 page pdf that includes a full 7 round mock. www.newerascouting.com
Here is their mock, though:
2008 Mock Draft
Round One
Pick Team Player School Position
1 Miami Chris Long Virginia DE
2 St. Louis Glenn Dorsey LSU DT
3-T Atlanta Darren McFadden* Arkansas RB
4-T Kansas City Jake Long Michigan OT
5-T Oakland Malcolm Kelly* Oklahoma WR
6 New York Jets Sedrick Ellis USC DT
7 New England (SF) Antoine Cason Arizona CB
8 Baltimore Matt Ryan Boston College QB
9 Cincinnati Keith Rivers USC LB
10 New Orleans Dan Connor Penn State LB
11-T Buffalo Martin Rucker Missouri TE
12-T Denver James Laurinaitis* Ohio State LB
13 Carolina Brian Brohm Louisville QB
14-T Detroit Malcolm Jenkins* Ohio State CB
15-T Chicago Andre Woodson Kentucky QB
16 Arizona Victor Harris* Virginia Tech CB
17 Minnesota Mario Manningham* Michigan WR
18 Houston Rashard Mendenhall* Illinois RB
19 Philadelphia Vernon Gholston* Ohio State DE
20-P Tampa Bay Ryan Clady* Boise State OT
21-P Washington Calais Campbell* Miami (FL) DE
22 Dallas (CLE) Mike Jenkins South Florida CB
23-P Seattle Frank Okam Texas DT
24-P Pittsburgh Jeff Otah Pitt OT
25-P Tennessee Limas Sweed Texas WR
26-P New York Giants Kenny Phillips* Miami (FL) S
27-P San Diego Early Doucet LSU WR
28-P Jacksonville Quentin Groves Auburn DE
29-P Green Bay Jonathan Stewart* Oregon RB
30-P San Francisco (IND) Sam Baker USC OT
31-P Dallas Tashard Choice Georgia Tech RB
Other Patriots Picks:
63 - Mike Hart - Michigan - RB
66 - Jonathan Goff - Vanderbilt- LB
95 - Chad Henne - Michigan - QB
127 - Bruce Davis - UCLA - LB
159 - Mike Klinkenborg - Iowa - LB
191 - Trevor Scott - Buffalo - DE
223 - Ben Hochstein - Nebraska-Omaha - OT
Personally, it sucks and shows little thought on how the Patriots run their team. I don't see the Pats taking Henne at the end of the 3rd round when they have Cassel and Gutierrez. Also, I don't see the Pats taking back to back LBs the way they have it posted. Nor do I see the Pats taking 4 LBs (2 ILB/2 OLB).
The pick of Hart is intriguing considering that he's built very similarly to Kevin Faulk. Though I think that Cherilus (OT from BC) would be a better pick for the Pats at 65 than Hart.
Bruce Davis, who is a 4-3 DE for UCLA, doesn't look to be a 3-4 OLB fit for the Patriots.
While Klinkenborg seems llike a good candidate for ILB, but the Pats already have someone like him in Lua.
Jasper Brinkley is someone who I think the Pats will keep an eye on even though the kid tore up his knee. If he's progressing well, the Pats could easily stash him on the IR as long as he's willing to go with the program.
Trevor Scott seems like a better fit as a 4-3 DE than a 3-4 Rush OLB for the Pats.
Hochstein is very small for OT for the Pats and seems to be extremely slow based on his school workout numbers.
