Default Walter Football Mock

http://walterfootball.com/draft2009.php

Okay, now that picks have been traded in the Cutler deal, I wanted to test out my draftboard. Walterfootball.com has a 5 rounder that makes me quite a bit nervous. Let me just say, that I'm all for adding players to the defense to make it better, but my board came out like this....

15. WR Jeremy Maclin Missouri 6' 0" 198 4.45
46. OC Max Unger Oregon 6' 5" 309 5.28
77. RB Andre Brown NC State 6' 0 1/8" 224 4.47
112. SS Chip Vaughn Wake Forest 6' 1 3/8" 221 4.45
122. TE Shawn Nelson Southern Miss 6' 5" 240 4.52
152. WR Mike Thomas Arizona 5' 8" 195 4.35


Now, I could have came off my board and drafted DE Kyle Moore at #152 and drafted CB Asher Allen at #122. They had us drafting Andre Brown at #112, so I felt a little silly taking him at #77. However, I was O.K. with getting Vaughn and Brown.

Heard a little bit of Shawn Nelson this afternoon on the radio and he was asked about participating in the Senior Bowl, the Combine and the Pro Day and he said "Well, I hadn't done any of that before..."

Yeah, right. That's why you only are in those three events when you're going out for the draft. And that only happens once.

Reminded me of the lament of one old women from years ago, "People are dying these days that have never died before." Ya think?

I dunno Bob, is this your way of telling us this Shawn guy probably didn't major in Kinetic Molecular Theory ?
BTW I dunno how many mocks I've seen that has us drafting Andre Brown ? Guess it means one of 2 things, we'll either draft Andre Brown or we won't ?

I much as I want to add to the the defense, just like you, I am seeing a board that is falling to offense when we are picking in most rounds. So if we go with an all offense draft, it would no shock me. But many of those guys will not have room on the game day roster.

In the updated Walters mock, they have B.J.Raji falling to us at 15, and Jarius Byrd in the second...

Also of note, he does not list Connor Barwin in the 1st or 2nd round......

Jairus Byrd ran a 4.67 in the 40 and is only 5'10" 207lbs. That scares the crap out of me, I don't care how versatile he was in college. I can't see much difference between him at Victor "Macho" Harris (4.68 5'11" 198lbs).

Also of note, he doesn't have Jeremy Maclin(who I would really consider at 15) going until the 2nd round and has Sean Smith, Jarron Gilbert, L. Delmas, and William Moore all still available when we make our 2nd pick, for what it's worth...

And I agree, Jarius Byrd is not first day quality.

The difference is that Harris will be one of the top 3 or 4 DB's taken in this draft. And thats all I have too say about that.

Connor Barwin = Jason Babin part deux, IMO. Way overhyped.

You can't be Babin II, unless somebody gives up the farm to select you in the 1st round.

.........And I am guilty of proposing TE Pettigrew from Okie St. as our first round pick. But only because he might prove to be the bpa at #15. The rest of the draft, I hope is defense. Especially either/or a RDE or DT. OOOPS.......and an OLB.

I understand the value in having a TE who can block. However, I just don't get the love affair with Pettigrew. If I really have to have an "all-around" TE who blocks and can provide a target in the RedZone, then I don't have to spend a 1st round pick to get one. I'm sure that I don't have to tell the Texans, but for those of you who haven't paid any attention to UVa, they have a guy named John Phillips. DraftTek currently has him as a 5th round pick, so go figure.

If you only want the blocking aspect the athletic TE can give, then I don't understand why we don't just get a guy like Lydon Murtha. He's considered a "reach" in the 6th round, but runs a 4.82 at 306lbs. I wonder what he might be able to do at 270lbs and if I could teach him to catch a pass. It's not like Bruener had defenses worried about him running down the seam when we brought him in.
