2008 NFL MOCK DRAFT 1.0 - Week 13

1. DALLAS (via trade with Miami) 
Needs: DB/OG/WR/RB/LB
RB Darren McFadden - Arkansas
Miami has so many
needs, it makes too much sense not to trade down. In this scenario, Miami would get Dallas' 1st 
round picks at 24 & 29, plus Dallas' 2nd rounder, and their 2009 1st round pick. Added with the 2008 2nd round pick SD ponied up for Chris Chambers, the Fins could restock the pond with 6 of the first 64 picks. Plus, Miami would be nuts to keep the pick, pass on
McFadden and then have to face him twice a year. Then again, this is the Dolphins.
Jerry Jones needs another ring. In order to have a shot, he MUST keep McFadden away from New England. And with Adrian Peterson already shredding the NFC, Dallas must pre-empt a trade-up by conference
title stalkers, such as the Giants, Bears or Packers. Dallas can trade Julius Jones to recoup a 2nd or 3rd round pick.
2. NE (from SF)
Needs: DB/LB/RB
OT Jake Long - Michigan
This is another trade-down scenario, most likely with a team desperate for one of the top QBs. Can't see Carolina or Baltimore,
they're both high enough to grab a top QB + they have too many holes to give up multiple picks.
Minnesota or Chicago are possible, but it's doubtful they'd pull the trigger...although they should.
NE needs a LB and a DB, but would they take one so early? Default to Brady's blind-side. 
3. Atlanta
Needs: QB/WR/OL/DE/S
QB Brian Brohm - Louisville
The only hiccup here is if Petrino is already axed. 
4. Oakland
Needs: OL/WR/DT/OLB
DT Glenn Dorsey - LSU
Or will Al Davis take Howie Long's kid, who drops to...
5. St. Louis
Needs: DE/LB/OT/TE/WR/QB
DE Chris Long - Virginia 
Long's versatility on the DL, pass rushing technique + ability to defend against the run justifies him being considered as a top 5 pick.
6. NYJets
Needs: DL/OL/DB/QB/RB
DE Calais Campbell - Miami
Jets have no pass rush.
7. Carolina
Needs: QB/WR/TE/S/OT/LB
ILB James Laurenaitis - Ohio St.
This guy is AJ Hawk II
8. Baltimore
Needs: QB/WR/CB/OT/LB
QB Matt Ryan - BC
9. KC
Needs: OT/DB/DT/QB/RB/WR/DE
OT Sam Baker - USC
If Jared Allen defects via free-agency, KC will need a pass rusher.
10. NO
Needs: DEFENSE
CB Malcom Jenkins - Ohio St.
11. Washington
Needs: S/DE/OL/OLB/CB/WR/QB
DE Quentin Groves - Auburn
May have to go Safety here, for obvious reasons.

12. Denver
Needs: DT/WR/S
DT Sedrick Ellis - USC
They need to stop the run and they need another WR for Cutler. 
13. Buffalo
Needs: WR/DE-OLB/TE/OL/QB
WR DeSean Jackson - CAL
DE/OLB Derrick Harvey would work here, as well as OLB Dan Connor, to pair with Penn St.
pal Poluszny. Or a DB like Antoine Caison. Or Malcolm Kelly.
14. Arizona
Needs: DE/OLB/CB/OL/RB
OLB Dan Connor - Penn St.
15. NYGiants
Needs: OT/S/CB/WR/K/RB
OT Ryan Clady - Boise St.
A DB would be tempting, as would an RB, but they can get both in the next 2 rounds.
16. Philly
Needs: OL/WR/TE/DB/DE/LB
OT Gosder Cherilus - BC
17. Minny
Needs: QB/WR/OG/S/CB/TE/OT
QB Andre Woodson - Kentucky
18. Houston
Needs: CB/OLB/OL/RB/S
DB Reggie Smith - Oklahoma
He can play CB or S.
19. Detroit
Needs: CB/MLB/QB/OL/RB
CB Mike Jenkins - South Florida
20. Cincinnati
Needs: DEFENSE/TE/OL
DE/OLB Derrick Harvey - Florida
21. Tennessee
Needs: WR/MLB/DB/OL/DL
WR Limas Sweed - Texas
Too early for Sweed, who is the slowest of the top 8 WRs. But he's the biggest, and doesn't
run great routes. Which is perfect for Vince Young, who can't toss close to a good route.
22. Chicago
Needs: QB/OL/RB/LB/WR
OT Michael Oher - Ole Miss
23. San Diego
Needs: CB/DT/OL/LB/WR/QB
OT Alex Boone - Ohio St.
24. MIAMI (via draft-day trade with Dallas (from Cleveland))
Needs: OL-LB-DL-CB-QB-WR-TE 
OLB Keith Rivers - USC
25. Jacksonville
Needs: WR/DE/DB/LB/QB
WR Malcolm Kelly - Oklahoma
26. TB
Needs: WR/QB/OL/RB
WR Early Doucet - LSU
27. Seattle
Needs: RB/OG/WR/TE/DT/QB
RB Jonathon Stewart - Oregon
28. Pittsburgh
Needs: MLB/CB/WR/DE/OL
MLB Ray Maualuga - USC
They need a CB better than Taylor and Townshend, but an MLB like this doesn't
come around this late.
29. Miami (via draft-day trade with Dallas)
Needs: OL-LB-DL-CB-QB-WR-TE
CB Aqib Talib - Kansas
30. SF (From Indy)
Needs: OL/DE/WR/OLB/DB/QB
DE Vernon Gholston - Ohio St.
31. GB
Needs: CB/OT/RB/TE/OLB/DE/QB/WR
RB Steve Slaton - West Virginia

2nd Round
32. Miami: DT Frank Okam - Texas
33. SF: S Kenny Phillips - Miami
Overrated. Can hit big, but doesn't seem to read the QB well.
34. Atlanta: OT Barry Richardson - Clemson
35. Oakland: WR James Hardy - Indiana
36. St. Louis: CB Antoine Cason - Arizona
Falls out of 1st b/c of low 40 time, but a 2nd round shutdown corner steal.
37. NYJets: OT Jeff Otah - Pitt
38. Carolina: WR Adarius Bowman - Oklahoma St.
39. Baltimore: CB Jack Ikegwuonu - Wisconsin
40. KC: CB DeJuan Tribble - BC
41. NO: LB Ali Highsmith - LSU
42. Wash: WR Andre Caldwell - Florida
May go higher if he runs a 4.2
43. Denver: LB Xavier Adibi - Virginia Tech
44. Buffalo: TE Fred Davis - USC
45. Arizona: RB Felix Jones - Arkansas
46. NYG: RB Ray Rice - Rutgers
47. Philly: TE John Carlson - Notre Dame
48. Minny: WR DJ Hall - Alabama
49. Atlanta (from Hou): DE Lawrence Jackson - USC
50. Detroit: CB Terrell Thomas - USC
51. Cinci: DT Kentwan Balmer - North Carolina
52. Tenn: CB Tracy Porter - Indiana
53. Chicago: QB Chase Daniel - Missouri
Born leader, which hasn't been seen since before the new millenium in the Bear's backfield. 
Actually, since Jim "Rozelle" McMahon. However, he's only 6' (read: Grossman height) and
he's a Junior (so he might not declare), so they might have to opt for the taller Erik Ainge.
54. Miami (from SD): OT Chris Williams - Vanderbilt

55. Cleveland: DE Tommy Blake - TCU
56. Jax: DE/LB Shawn Crable - Michigan
57. TB: OT Tony Hills - Texas
58. Seattle: OG Eric Young - Tennesee
59. Pitt: OG Will Arnold - LSU
60. Miami (from Dallas): TE Martellus Bennett - Texas A&M

61. Indy: LB Phillip Wheeler - Georgia Tech
62. GB: CB Dwight Lowery - San Jose St.
63. NE: RB Chris Johnson - ECU

Do you really think the Cowboys would give up 3 1st rounders and a 2nd rounder for McFadden? You need to lay off of that stuff, I hear it kills brain cells...

Not a Cowboy fan, but, Cowboys would be foolish NOT to do this. Notes are spot on. However, not sure it makes a lot of sense for the Dolphins. Not a lot of "impact" players outside the top 6 slots in this draft.

You have some pretty good picks. I think this blog is a little better even though only picks 1-20 are done. But the author talks a lot about how the pick will effect the team as well as talking about the picks.
