sean smith will be tacken with one of miami’s 2 round picks unless v. davis is already in the fold, i’m not real sure but l.b. is not that pressing in the first round. please but dont let one of those o.tackle’s fall 2 25, we see how miami covets big linemen in the first round. compatition is a strang bedfello; its not a need right know but a center would be nice pick.

The only thing on that I don’t really see happening is Miami picking up a Linebacker, not because one is not needed but Parcells an Sparano have the guys, an their is a definant need on the D-line to fit in with the Parcells scheme. I would love to see them pick up a talented corner or another piece to the offense an even a talented linebacker, any of the ones from USC will play great pro ball. But Parcells like to start with the big men on the Offense and Defense, and I’m pretty sure that Joey Porter has more years left in him at Linebacker then Jason Ferganson, does at Nose Tackle.

why would the ravens take harvin they need a big receiver.they already have mason and clayton.i see them trading this pick and dropping into the second round to get nicks,britt,or roboskie with their first pick in the second round.

ok, and what do you guys do for a living?
nobody knows what these teams are going to do on draft day. you have a better shot at nailing a perfect bracket in the ncaa basketball tournament. this guy lives football EVERY day, yet you think living in philly makes you an expert on eagles football.
if any of you can do better than florio, ill actually read his book.

Lay off Florio guys. We all know mock drafts are a joke. Look at Mel Kiper Jr’s mocks from the past. I still remember draft day 1998. It was the Peyton Manning/Ryan Leaf draft. Mel Kiper said that Ryan Leaf should be the 1st pick and that he would be a better pro than Peyton Manning. There is video of this out there. I would love to see it again. Kiper is a retard. I’m so sick of him. I wonder who is more arrogant, Kiper or Drew Rosenhaus?

The Steelers need a DE…are you crazy??? Did you see how much Big Ben HAD to run around to save his life last year…???
They may have won the SB but it took ten years off Ben’s life

You all are pretty annoying. Everybody thinks they understand their teams system and what their greatest need is and make bold statements as to what they will do. Its a mock draft, nobody knows what will happen. Just chill guys.

Just when i was starting to think u finally made up a good mock in part one, come this “thing” called part two when it seems it was written in about 1 minute or less, in a world where only exist Rb’s and Wr’s.
Shame on you Florio

If Pettigrew is there at 21 the eagles should take him. Then take Donald Brown at 28.

Also agree with bertil – BB takes Beatty at #23 to start at RT, moves Kaczur to RG to replace Neal. Next year, Light and Beatty swap ends.
I’d also like to see BB take Max Unger at #34. The O-line would be set for several years, then.

Mock drafts are invariably bogus mainly due to the fact that they’re premised on each team’s needs by position. However, a number of teams make their selections based primarily on which player they see as being the best available, at times with the flexibility to consider need as the situation dictates.
Having said whatever it was I just said, Florio probably nailed it.

I agree with ‘Bertil’ here.
Belichek will never draft a “2 down LB” in the 1st round. He values the linemen very highly…particularly the 3-4 D linemen. With Seymour coming to free agency and having huge market value, my guess is they let him go. I think they’ll be looking for a DE they will groom into a starter in this draft. I believe they’ll have a multitude of LBs to choose from in the 2nd round and with 3 picks they’ll get what they need.

the birds will not take wells. when they look at a running back, the first two things they as are ‘can he block? can he catch?’ with wells, both of these – not to mention the injury bug – are concerns, if not flat out weaknesses. i agree with ‘philly’s’ assesment of the front line, but can easily see big red moving up to get someone.
if they are serious about ochocinco (i’m not opposed to the idea), they should trade #28 and their 2nd rounder for chad , the bungle’s 2nd rounder, reggie brown, and a late round pick if necessary.
bengles can take crabtree at #6 (or trade the pick to someone else who wants him, get some more picks and still get a quality WR in the first) and address OT with #28. Birds can take pettigrew with #21, get chad, and target mccoy or another RB with the 6th pick in the second round.

While I agree the Eagles are more likely to draft any of the other top five backs before Beanie, I also think Wells is better than most of my fellow Eagles fans think he is. I also think Beatty or Britton at 28 is dead on, and any of you “expert” Eagles fans don’t know crap if you disagree. Both of these guys have a ton of upside and we don’t need someone to step in right away as you all said.
Once again I’m embarrassed by a few cocky, loudmouth slapdicks giving the whole Green Nation a bad rap.
I never understood why Florio kinda peed on Philly from time to time, but after reading these comments its starting to make sense.
So M-Flo, Ease up on Philly cuz we are by far the best fans in the universe!

Ganggreen86 – I agree with you from the LB importance standpoint.
But from the grumblings I’ve heard is they need a LB to shore up depth.
I agree with you on Mays. I can’t wait to see him unleashed, but he is a injury waiting to happen with his playing style.
Gaither is going to be gone after this year.. and Gocong… I like him and he seems to be coming along, but he’s still suspect. I almost feel like they should drop the DE in coverage and release him on the QB more.
I’m hoping for some big things from Bradley and Jordan this year.
I think that Akers is going to have a good year. Rocca might as well.
I have a feeling we’ll see big things out of Avant this year. Their WR core is fine as long as they get a TE threat, I don’t care what anyone says about a “#1 WR”. On top of that, if they get a stud RB to compliment 36… Please.. The Eagles may finally have the players needed to execute the west coast offense.
I’m interested to see an Eagles Defense without Dawkins. I am certainly at odds with that.

Agree with purp and walk on Viking focus on Offensive Tackle.
Oher, Andre Smith and Britton all possible. If these guys are gone could Vike take a falling QB prospect like Sanchez or Josh Freeman?
Then there’s LT Jason Peters situation still danging. Interesting pick

It’s a shame if it’s true that Winston Justice is no longer w/ the Eagles. Well, we’ll always have the memories.
I’d be very happy if Nicks fell to the Giants. They could take Robieskie in the 2nd

Colts2145 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:26:02 +0000

Eben Britton? Come on now. The Colts have two tackles about as good as him already, and he won’t play guard because they drafted three interior linemen last year. They will draft Jerry or Hood if they last, and if not a WR, Moreno or maybe even Gilbert. But there is absolutely no chance Indy takes an OT in round one.

I won’t give Floria a hard time, because I’ve never seen a mock draft that didn’t blow up in the makers face…

Not that I think it is necessarily a great mock, anyone thinking it is terrible is probably not reading anyone except Kiper. This draft is deep on the lines, and as good linemen are hard to find it could very well be the case that many skill position players slip. Nothing is impossible, and only the ignorant believe so.

By: Bertil

Bertil — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:55:10 +0000

Good grief! There is NO way Belichick will pass on BOTH OTs Britton and Beatty (not to mention 3-4 DE Tyson Jackson) for potentially a “2 Down” ILB. Huge athletic guys like that will not be available in Round 2, where the Pats have 3 picks, whereas ILBs will be plentiful…
The Pats have OL needs on the horizon, not to mention Seymour and Wilfork on the cusp of free agency. Exactly how much “thought” are you putting into this endeavor?

biscuiteater — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:35:53 +0000

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I laughed out loud when you had Rey Maualuga falling to #20 and then had the Lions PASS on him!!!
MLB is possibly the Lions greatest need. If Rey Maualuga is there at #20, the Lions will take him.
He won’t fall that far though. And the Lions STILL won’t reach for Hood at that point. They’ll take Laurinitis because he’d be their MLB starter from day 1 and that’s what they need.

By: CanadianLionFan

CanadianLionFan — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:30:36 +0000

Why would the Pats take Maualuga already having taken Mayo last year?

By: Ganggreen86

Ganggreen86 — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:09:30 +0000

philly- I agree with all but linebacker…I think they are absolutely fine there, especially with that beast Mays waiting in the wings and a starting-caliber OLB in Gaither on the bench.
To be honest, I’d also start looking at a kicker or punter in the nether-rounds. Rocca was faar too inconsistent, and Akers hasn’t been Akers in 3 seasons.

They call them Mock Drafts for a reason – because they deserve to be mocked.
