2008
Pro Bono Fantasy NFL Mock Draft
|
| |
1 |
Jake Long, OT, Michigan: Sources state
the Fins are in talks with Chris Long, Pro Bono Fantasy however still feel
that Miami should grab the Tackle from UM. |
|
|
2 |
Chris Long, DE, Virginia: Would
drastically help the Rams Defense with his intense style of play. |
| |
3 |
Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College: Good arm
and NFL smarts, he should help the Falcons move pass the "Mike Vick Era".
Will be the new face of the franchise. |
| |
4 |
Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas: Much like
Adrian Peterson last year, "Run DMC" will make the Raiders run attack legit
real quick in addition to "real quick"!. |
|
5 |
Vernon Gholston, OLB, Ohio State: Great
edge rusher whose solid play over the last couple seasons
make him a legit Top 5 pick. |
| |
6 |
Glenn Dorsey, DT, Louisiana State:
Sub-par Pro Day work outs caused this one time No.1 to slide down 5 slots.
(Might shock everyone and pick Rashard Mendenhall). |
| |
7 |
Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy: The Pats get
back to rebuilding a recently depleted defense, especially the defensive
backfield. Must make this pick count. |
| |
8 |
Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida: This Julius
Peppers-type DE will give the once mighty Ravens D a pass rusher the league
will fear, something their missing. |
| |
9 |
Sedrick Ellis, DT, Southern California:
Bengals are another depleted defense that will add bodies just on principle.
WR woes make force a change of plan. |
| |
10 |
Keith Rivers, OLB, Southern California:
With Jonathan Vilma and Dan Morgan already on the roster expect Rivers to
gain experience and great knowledge. |
| |
11 |
Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida: Content
with Evans, Reed, and Parrish its too early to consider receiver here. The
Bills will add Jenkins unreal speed. |
|
|
12 |
Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma: Bills need
a big WR but pass on Kelly. The Bronc's are banged up at wideout. Denver
will send the Bills a Thank You note. |
| |
13 |
Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State: Someone has
to protect Matt Moore or Jake Delhomme. We can't have another Vinny
Testaverde experiment in 2009. |
| |
14 |
Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh: Personally
would love to see this guy fall to Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears about to
become a ground machine with this guy on the line. |
| |
15 |
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois: Scared
off by Jonathan Stewart's injury history the Lions actually make the right
choice with this Big Ten product. |
| |
16 |
Philip Merling, DE, Clemson: Cards DE
Depth Chart/ Darnell Dockett, Antonio Smith , Joe Tafoya, Bo Schobel...Yes
Merling may step right in as a starter. |
| |
17 |
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB,
Tennessee State: Vikes should grab the best OL available for AP. Instead
they add a DB to their crowded D backfield. |
| |
18 |
Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas: Ahman Green
is not the solution to the Texans rushing problem. Jones played 2nd fiddle
throughout college, now he's the man. |
| |
19 |
Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon: Brian
Westbrook is secure in his spot, but Ryan Moats and Correll Buckhalter as
backups make Stewart a steal here. |
| |
20 |
DeSean Jackson, WR, California: Will
make immediate impact as a return specialist, but will benefit from study
under Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard. |
| |
21 |
Kenny Phillips, S, Miami: You can never
replace a player like Sean Taylor overnight, bt this is a step in the right
direction. |
| |
22 |
Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas: Cowboys get
shutout of the stud RB sweepstakes so they add Talib a Jayhawk standout to a
blossoming defense. |
| |
23 |
Justin King, CB, Penn State: Steelers
eventually must address their weak corner situation. King has speed and is a
good cover corner. |
| |
24 |
Limas Sweed, WR, Texas: Possessing a
group of rag-tag wideouts, Sweed teams up with former Longhorn Vince Young
to validate the crew. |
| |
25 |
Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State: The
RB's was upgraded via Free Agency. The Seahawks upgrade the WR's via draft,
taking a chance on Thomas. |
| |
26 |
Lawrence Jackson, DE, Southern
California: WR Mario Manningham slides out the 1st when the Jags pass on
him. Shoud go safety but Kenny Philips is gone |
| |
27 |
Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College: As
if LT need a reason to go up in value in regards to his fantasy stock.
Cherilus will make a great addition.. |
| |
28 |
Chris Johnson, RB, East Carolina :
Desperate for a running back the Boy's pass on Virginia Tackle Brenden
Albert and Michigan WR Mario Manningham |
| |
29 |
Brenden Albert, G/T, Virginia: Frank
Gore will send Cowboys owner Jerry Jones a Thank You note for giving the
49ers their tackle for the next 8-10 years. |
| |
30 |
James Hardy, WR, Indiana: Hardy is a
freak of nature is just what Aaron Rodgers need in debut as the Packers
signal caller. |
|
31 |
Pick
forfeited. Would have
more likely addressed their aging defense, the LB's in particular or added a
WR for depth. |
| |
32 |
Jerod Mayo, ILB, Tennessee: The Giants
due to free agency enter the draft 2 LB's short. Mayo is a necessity pick. |
