i am with you on this 100%, or we can take blackmon

the vikes are in a great position this year, they are pretty much guaranteed a blue chip prospect. The best OT, WR, and CB in recent memory in the same draft. 
I really want Blackmon the most, I think he is can't miss.

I know we NEED Kalil though.

We can get a WR in the 2nd round.The Kid from South Carolina. we need to get a Linebacker in 3rd round. hopefully Chris Cook is back with us,and we improve secondary n FA.Laron Landry is a FA.if price is right.i would sign him.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

whats a good site to look at mocks?

 

[MajinZuub]

If Blackmon slips to the Browns I think they're definitely going to get him.

Is Miami looking to change up the QB situation? I think they'd be dirty if they traded up to get RGIII.

 

[statis22]

Walter football & nfl.com whenever Mike Mayock releases his mock. CBSsports usually has good mocks too

Site I work for, we have 3 guys that do mocks (mine included, I should have my third one turned in today) and then on the right you will see links to other sites run by Jets/Bills/Patriot fans and they all have multiple mocks as well from their writers/scouts. 

The ones Statis posted are of course more well known and respected, I'm just supposed to pub the site as best I can is all. 

  

 

[Retroballer]

With the 28th pick. The packers select who ever can play defense.

 

[IATT]

i want the eagles to come away with 1 of these 2 players (would obviously LOVE both):

1) coples
2) kuechly


AND then i want 1 of these guys:
zach brown
dontari poe
devon still


i don't want a million draft picks, just 2 or 3 of the above named

 

[statis22]

Of course we can't forget about CP at miamidolphinsdraft.com

Btw I gotta bookmark your site CP, keep up that good work!

Logan Thomas can't read the middle of the field


That's because our QB coach and OC prefer to use the sideline as an extra defender to avoid the risk of INT's. Our plays / passing tree routinely ignore the middle of the field by design, peep the first game against Clemson where they were giving up the while middle third and we did nothing about it. Also for part of the year he was only supposed to read one half of the field so if he was "missing" a read it may have been because he was instructed not to read that half of the field at all.

Hopefully now that he's more experienced they will open up more of the field for him, he was allowed to do a lot more as the year progressed but they still were too conservative in the passing game IMO. I still think he'll need another year of seasoning before he'll be ready for the draft.

What happened to he Bucs, man they went down hill fast

[h1]Dre Kirkpatrick arrested for marijuana possession[/h1]
Posted by Michael David Smith on January 17, 2012, 3:40 PM EST

Former Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick, who is widely viewed as a first-round prospect in this year’s NFL draft, has been arrested for possession of marijuana.

The web site for the Sheriff’s Office in Manatee County, Florida, lists Kirkpatrick as having been arrested at 12:48 a.m. today for possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis. He was released after posting $120 bond.

Kirkpatrick, who announced last week that he is leaving Alabama for the NFL, is considered one of the top defensive players in the class of 2012. The eight mock drafts posted at NFL.com all have Kirkpatrick going in the Top 10.

Kirkpatrick to the Bucs in the 2nd

@ dre...moron


that said, if and when he falls...take the gamble, hoodie

 

[CP1708]

I don't think Dre will lose a dime.  Drug rumors are mostly a waste of time unless your last name is Hurd. 

All 65 underclassmen in the draft, which is crazy since Montee, Barkley, Landry, and Te'O all stayed in, and they would have been in rounds 1-2 easy.

Rep is his former teammate too.

From WF:
15 

 Philadelphia Eagles: Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame 

 
DeSean Jackson was criticized all year for dropping too many passes and not giving his all, but he had a strong finish to the 2011 season, which prompted Andy Reid to praise him during the Week 17 post-game press conference. There's now a chance that Jackson could be back, but I still have my doubts. Reid could have been talking him up for a potential tag-and-trade scheme, so I'm 70-30 on Jackson not returning. 

If Jackson isn't retained, the Eagles will need a new receiver, and Michael Floyd is the top prospect on the board who currently makes sense for Philadelphia (the top player available besides Melvin Ingram). If the Eagles re-sign Jackson, then I'll obviously change this pick. 

Would be a good fit but I'm hoping he falls to the Bears.  Alshon Jeffery mocked at 26 to the Texans.

Alabama by far the worst offender of inflating player heights. Three of five players "shrunk" by more than an inch

Nick Foles crappy self will be the third QB drafted.

I still think Tannehill will go before Foles, but yeah, Foles is going to have somebody reach big time for him.  He could be the next Flacco.

Exactly. I don't want another Joe Flacco-type QB in the league... we've got enough painful-to-watch offenses as is.
