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. |
