2008 Top 3 Draft Pick Scenario

Draft Board- For Pre-Combine

Picks as we currently stand.

Keep in mind I would love to get D. Rodger- Cromartie, CB with early 2nd Rd. pick, but I cant see him slipping out of the 1st. Rd.

Also, Yes- I do realize Leodis McKelvin stock has soared- but someone has to slip to us. In addition, I know each scenario changes on who we may draft, but these are players I am considering when our pick is called.

Let me know your thoughts.

1st Rd.

#1.
A. Chris Long, DE
B. Glenn Dorsey, DT
C. Matt Ryan, QB

2nd Rd.

#32
A. Leodis McKelvin, CB
B. Phillip Merling, DE
C. Quentin Groves, OLB
(I have to add three more for this special pick-Terrell Thomas, CB and Lawrence Jackson, DE, and Mario Manningham, WR are in the picture.)

#59
A. Gosder Cherilus, OT
B. Carl Nicks, OT
C. Anthony Collins, OT

3rd Rd.

What about Porter (CB-Ind)?

#59
A. Gosder Cherilus, OT
B. Carl Nicks, OT
C. Anthony Collins, OT

- Really like your thinking here. I have Nicks as my pick in 3rd round.
- What about Mayo (ILB-TEN)? I don't think Cherilus is still there, but if he is he is a steal here...

3rd Rd.

#65A. John Carlson, TE
B. Phillip Wheeler, ILB
C. Shawn Crable, OLB

4th Rd.

#97
A. Joe Flacco, QB
B. Bruce Davis, OLB
C. DeJuan Tribble, CB
(Trae Williams, CB, Mike McGlynn, OG and Wesley Woodard, SS are also in the picture)

7th Rd.

#193
A. Adrian Arrington, WR
B. Ben Moffit, ILB
C. Keilin Dykes, DT

- I was told Arrington would not be there. If he is, he was my original 7th rounder, so we are on the same page.


I like your thoughts (I'm in the Dorsey camp, which changes the picks a little). We agree on the positions to be filled (except i have a OG instead of a DE/OLB).

 

[playeragent2612]

Notice how I added alot of late WR picks, and OL, plus DT.

I think WR, DT, and OT are pretty deep class this year. So look out for some sleepers. Also, Parcells like them North East players from like Rutgers or Boston College, Etc.
(See- Phillip Mering, Jamie Silva, DeJuan Tribble, Jeremy Zuttah, Pedro Sosa also to name a few)

 

[Rev Kev]

Are they are talkin up Flacco too much to be there?

Talented OT is imperative

 

[phinfan33]

I noticed Vernon Gholstons name wasn't in ur list....i'm guessing ur not that high on him

The guys I bolded won't be available when our picks at those spots come up for sure.

 

[Dolphin39]

I'm definitely NOT in favor of drafting a QB with our #1 pick.

:disapprove:​

No one knows who will be available with any pick but #1 overall. After that anything can happen.

I love how anytime someone posts their mock or thoughts, there is always someone to immediately say "oh he won't be there". When we pick at #32, there are only going to be 30 players taken before that. And not one person here knows which players that will be.

This is exactly what I am talking about. "for sure" what exactly makes you so sure about this.

Players never drop????? Happens every year.

Here are my thoughts:

Chris Long, Glenn Dorsey, and Matt Ryan are all likely candidates if we don't trade down. I wouldn't rule out Darren McFadden, Sedrick Ellis, Jake Long, or Ryan Clady, either.

I agree with you on Leodis McKelvin. He is a no-brainer at 32.

I don't see us drafting Phillip Merling, Quentin Groves, or Lawrence Jackson unless we trade JT. As of today, JT is still on the team. If and when he's traded, then Merling, Groves, or Jackson make sense.

I'm not fan of Terrell Thomas. Reminds me of Will Allen. We already have Will Allen on our roster. We need a shutdown corner.

I like Manningham, but I don't know if Parcells and Ireland would take a WR that high.

I don't think Gosder Cherilus will be there late in the 2nd. (By the way, my math might be off but don't we have the 58th pick?)

Carl Nicks and Anthony Collins are very likely.

John Carlson is a likely pick, but I'm not a fan of taking a TE that high.

I suspect Phillip Wheeler will off the board by the 3rd round. He probably won't be there when we pick late in the 2nd. I'm hoping we trade down from 32 and pick up Wheeler in the 40s.

I'm not a fan of Shawn Crable. And again, I doubt we take an OLB this high unless we trade JT.

It's doubtful Joe Flacco and Bruce Davis make it to the 4th round. DeJuan Tribble might. But I'm not a fan.

I'm not so sure Trae Williams and Mike McGlynn are any better than the CBs we already have. Wesley Woodard is definitely likely. He is simply a football player.

Ahtyba Rubin could go as high as the 3rd round. Or not. Hard to say.

I go back and forth on Jamie Silva. He's always around the ball. Makes a lot of plays. But why isn't he rated higher? My concern is that he's a great college player who might not make it in the NFL.

I don't think Jordy Nelson will make it to the 6th round. WRs tend to go higher than they're projected, not lower.

I don't know enough about Keenan Burton.
Jeremy Zuttah is likely.
And I'm not a fan of Thomas DeCoud.

I would say Adrian Arrington won't make it to the 7th round, but somebody said he's had off-the-field issues. If so, then he might slide. But then, if he has off-the-field issues, Parcell and Ireland probably won't draft him.

I don't know about Ben Moffit. He falls into the same category as Jamie Silva. They're like Wes Welker. Tough guys who play with a lot of heart, but not the most talented athletes. I would sign them as UDFAs without a doubt. But are they worth a draft pick? There's a lot of talented players, and the Fins have a lot of needs.

Keilen Dykes is very likely.

Also, based on Parcells and Ireland's history at Dallas it's a safe bet we're going make a couple trades on draft day.

 

[Finole]

Here's where I'm at as of today, but the Combine, free agency, trades, and draft day trades will change this list for sure. Also, the draft magazines don't come out until mid-March, and they always have a lot of good info.


1st Rd.

#1.
A. Chris Long, DE
B. Jake Long, OT
C. Matt Ryan, QB

2nd Rd.

#32
A. Leodis McKelvin, CB (if he's still on the board)
B. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB (if he's still on the board)
C. Trade down and acquire another pick or two

#59
A. Philip Wheeler, LB (if he's still on the board)
B. Tracy Porter, CB (if he's still on the board)
C. Dwight Lowery, CB (if Porter is gone)

3rd Rd.

#65
A. Brandon Albert, OG (if he's still on the board)
B. Roy Schuening, OG (if Albert is gone)
C. Jamar Adams, CB (if both of the OGs are gone)

4th Rd.

#97
A. Spencer Larsen, ILB
B. Wesley Woodard, SS
C. Erik Ainge, QB (if he's still on the board)
D. Trade down and acquire another pick or two

6th Rd.

#161
A. Jacob Hester, FB (if he's still on the board)
B. Jeremy Zuttah, OG
C. Keilen Dykes, DT

7th Rd.

#193
A. BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB
B. Marcus Thomas, RB
C. Jonal Saint-Dic, OLB
D. Gary Guyton, OLB[/QUOTE]

Keep in mind, this is not who I think we WILL pick. This is who I HOPE we pick. Joe Flacco is a very likely target. As well as some offensive linemen I'm sure I'm not aware of. Ahtyba Rubin is a likely target if we don't pick up a NT in free agency. And so on...

 

[Stitches]

This is exactly what I am talking about. "for sure" what exactly makes you so sure about this.

Players never drop????? Happens every year.

I'm willing to put money down that the guys I bolded won't be available at those picks (Cherilus has the best chance, and even he isn't likely).

 

[Finole]

- I was told Arrington would not be there. If he is, he was my original 7th rounder, so we are on the same page. QUOTE]

Exactly. I mean, it's safe to say Chris Long, Jake Long, Glenn Dorsey, Sedrick Ellis, and Darren McFadden won't make it out of the 1st round. But guys like Leodis McKelvin and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie could slide. Dan Connor could slide. Jeff Otah could slide. They might not, but they could.

It really comes down to who the last ten teams pick. That's what makes the draft so unpredictable. We're all just guessing here. Even the so-called experts are guessing.

At this point last year Brady Quinn was a Top Ten pick, and maybe even the #1 overall. We all know what happened there.


For example...

The Cowboys needs: CB, WR, OT, ILB, RB. If the Cowboys pick Early Doucet then DRC would slide to Pittsburgh.

The Steelers needs: OT, C, DE, G, RB. If the Steelers pick Sam Baker then DRC would slide to Tennessee.

The Titans needs: WR, CB, TE, WR, OL. If the Titans pick Malcolm Kelly then DRC would slide to Seattle.

The Seahawks needs: OT, DT, RB, TE, G. If the Seahawks pick Rashard Mendenhall then DRC would slide to Jacksonville.

The Jaguars needs: WR, DE, SS, CB. If the Jaguars pick Quentin Groves then DRC would slide to San Diego.

The Chargers needs: OG, OT, NT, FB, RB. If the Chargers pick Chris Williams then DRC would slide to Dallas.

The Cowboys needs: CB, WR, OT, ILB, RB. If the Cowboys pick Leodis McKelvin then DRC would slide to San Fran.

The 49ers needs: WR, OT, OLB, DE, QB. If the 49ers pick James Hardy then DRC would slide to Green Bay.

The Packers needs: OT, S, CB, TE, P. If the Packers pick Jeff Otah then DRC would slide to New York.

The Giants needs: OLB, CB, S, OT, DT. If the Giants pick Ali Highsmith then DRC would slide to the Fins.


And that's just one possible scenario. There are countless others. Anything is possible. And nobody knows what will happen. Especially this early in the process.

 

[JFoxx]

While going over all these hypotheticals are fun, it's likely going to change significantly several times before the draft ever gets here on who's where in the top 10, let alone the top 100. Just a few weeks ago, Dorsey was a lock at #1, Before that it was McFadden, etc., etc. And it wasn't too long ago that Brohm and C.Brennan were the next coming of Marino in the draft and sure #1's. Once the combine and indiv. workouts start happening, we'll see who really moves/stays in the top 10. :up:

 

[playeragent2612]

Gosder is not on the list, because I know he want be there with the #32 pick. All the scenario's are picks we have today- without trades
