**** indicates a trade that might have happened in real life and not in this mock. If it's your team involved let me know what the right team should be

 

[harrydangler]

After addressing the defense, the Giants really need to take that OL now so with the 18th pick of the 3rd round, the Giants select, Ryan Harris, OL Notre Dame.

 

[NFBuck]

St Louis: H.B. Blades- LB Pittsburgh

 

[scarletngrey11]

Cant believe he hasnt been picked yet.

The Panthers select Victor Abiamiri from Notre Dame.

If hes been picked already I apologize, but I looked through many times and didnt see him.

 

[sandgk]

I'll have the Chiefs pick in tomorrow AM.

 

[23Skidoo]

I'll have the Chiefs pick in tomorrow AM.

Damn you!! I may not be able to check for awhile after that... arg. I might have to send BN27 another PM.

 

[sandgk]

WR or DT - which do the Chiefs need the most?

Both.
Simple answer (surprising to some I bet) is that the Chiefs select the highly athletic and powerful DT Marcus Thomas out of UF.

Here is why ....
We did resign DT Ron Edwards quite recently, yet an improvement on the line remains a vital concern. Got to find a way to turn Tamba free!

Meanwhile at WR we have too many speedy and small WRs on squad - need to give the QB a good target with reasonable size as an option in the passing game. Like last round it looks like the WR talent still provides some quality picks. Truth is we think, OK, we hope that WR will still provide good quality in the next round.

Because the depth of choices remains (will, hope will remain) flush at WR it comes down to the available DTs.

Of the remaining "Day One" type options left on board you have Kareem Brown and Marcus Thomas. Also intriguing is Ryan McBean the lanky Jamaican import and ex- OK State Cowboy.

Kareem comes with the cleaner sheet versus the off the field issue plagued Marcus Thomas, McBean has tools and measurables, but the question is how well that will translate to the next level.

Brown is your classic collapse the pocket Tackle - but has the slows in other aspects of the game with technique that still demands improvement. Which is frankly surprising, he is essentially under-developed by what should have been a great defensive staff in Miami. Thomas by contrast is a freak. In 5 games to start the Gators 2006 season he netted 4 sacks, a rate of production no other player left came close to matching. He can penetrate as well or better than Brown, plus has the speed, strength and technique to get to the QB. Without the subsequent off-field concerns Thomas easily would be vying for a 1st round draft spot.

Despite the character issues the Chiefs select Marcus Thomas at DT.

Herm and the rest of staff will get this kid onto the straight and narrow, enabling him to fulfill his enormous potential - probably with a performance based contract, coupled to some of that Edwards branded father figure guidance.

 

[stowfan]

You'll never have to worry about running out of pot with Thomas as your draft pick.

LOL - The Chiefs acknowledge that they are taking a roll of the dice on this pick.

You're lucky the Bengals lost their 3rd rounder, or else he'd be Cincy bound...

 

[23Skidoo]

Seattle selects RB Tony Hunt of Penn State. Alexander and Mack are getting old and the Seahawks could use a change-of-pace brusier to complement their backfield.

 

[stowfan]

LOL - The Chiefs acknowledge that they are taking a roll of the dice on this pick.

I've seen write ups where he is described as a top 15 pick if not for his off field problems his senior year. Someone had to have told him, he would make millions if he gave up a few bad habits for a few months. It makes you wonder what it takes to get through?

 

[jwinslow]

Seattle selects RB Tony Hunt of Penn State. Alexander and Mack are getting old and the Seahawks could use a change-of-pace brusier to complement their backfield.

Soooo close. NYJ considered him with the 26th pick in the 2nd, despite having two good backs (but none with his size). Hunt is a nice pickup.

 

[Brutus1]

Screw Denver. I'll nominate OL Marshall Yanda, Iowa.
