Other news, NFL Free Agencty to start Mon, due to continuous labor negotiations. I am confident a deal will be worked out this weekend.
Now, I have been named the GM of all 32 NFL teams. This is not my official mock draft, but just who I, the ultimate NFL GM would pick for this draft. No trades no nothing, on with the show!
1. Houston Texans-Have done well with Dominack Davis as their RB, recently have committed to David Carr as their QB. What do they need OL. Not Reggie Bush. The pick here is D'Brickashaw Ferguson T Virginia
2. New Orleans Saints-Ticket sales have begun to rise. That doesn't impactr them here, but it's good news. Saints will lose Darren Howard to free agency, and have a glaring need at QB. But before I post my pick, what do the following players have in common: Lawrence Taylor and Julius Peppers? Both were 2nd overall picks. The next Brett Favre is NOT Jay Cutler but Brodie Croyle, who WILL be available in Rd 2. Mario Williams DE NC ST is the choice here.
3. Tennesee Titans-Yes they have committed to Steve McNair and rightfully so. No WR is worth taking here, but I would reunite Norm Chow and Matt Leinert QB USC
4. New York Jets-Have a lot of needs, particularly QB. But an aging O-Line and Defensive problems are here. I need butts in the seats. Reggie Bush RB USC
5. Green Bay Packers-No Brett Favre? Aaron Rogers is ready. Ahman Green should be back as well, so no need for an RB. Defense was terrible, and since mario is gone, I have to settle for Haloti Ngata DT Oregon, which isn't really settling, as he is the best DT in the draft
6. San Francisco 49ers-Alex Smith is my guy for QB, so how do I help him? By helping my defense, which couldn't stop a pee wee football team. AJ Hawk LB Ohio State should bring some toughness needed in this defense.
7. Oakland Raiders-Art Shell returns to the sidelines and has a very talented team on offense, but a mess on defense. Charles Woodson? Gone. I get his replacement in Jimmy Williams CB Virginia Tech
8 Buffalo Bills-QB controversey, no Eric Moulds for next year. This team is a mess. I want a great offensive player, but have too many needs on defense to ignore. Dick Jauron needs a defense to be successful. Michael Huff CB Texas is a start for a bad secondary.
9. Detroit Lions-DL played well late into the season, but that is where they need help the most. Offense is fine, but man, I need help for my D, so I take Tamba Hali DE Penn State to shake things up on my D Line
10. Arizona Cardinals-WR? Check QB? Check OL? Check RB? No Defense? What defense? Denny Green can get D help later on, but there is a snowball's chance in Arizona I let DeAngelo Williams RB Memphis wait any longer.
11. St Louis Rams-Offensive minded new coach knows he has a bad defense here, so why not add speed to the offense, i take the best guy out there, and hack of the rest of the teams. Vernon Davis TE Maryland
12. Cleveland Browns-Offense is starting to gel, but my boy Romeo needs defense. Top 2 ends are gone, as is the DT I know he wanted. But, i give him something better. Chad Greenway LB Iowa
13. Baltimore Ravens-To quell the dissatisfied players, i have to be careful here. I am to committed to Kyle Boller to take Cutler or Young, but I do need help on my team. LenDale White RB USC will make me happy
14. Philadelphia Eagles-Defense wasn't too bad last year, but no TO = No playoffs. Good news Donovan-Chad Jackson WR Florida brings the playmaker qualities you need here.
15. Atlanta Falcons-Defense was down last year, I have a lot of young weapons on offense, so I turn to my Defense. Or do I? Eric Winston OT Miami is my choice to protect Vick
16. Miami Dolphins-Nick Saban needs a QB. What Nick Saban needs, he gets. Jay Cutler QB Vanderbilt
17. Minnesota Vikings-Brad Childress has to like the talent here already. But that defense needs a little punch to it. DeMeco Ryans LB Alabama will give him just that.
18. Dallas Cowboys-Bill Parcells is ticked that Miami got Cutler, but Drew Bledsoe did fare well last year, so he turns to his O Line, so I get him what he needs. Winston Justice OT USC should put something back in Big D.
19. San Diego Chargers- Need a CB to help out big play allowing prone secondary. Tye Hill CB Clemson is my choice to cover those WR's in this division.
20. Kansas City Chiefs-Herm Edwards is mad at losing Hill, but is happy here nonetheless. Ashton Youboty CB Ohio State is available and gone here.
21. New England Patriots have been unconventional in the past, but Atlanta beat me to the guy we really wanted. Too bad the only guy Bellicheck wants is Marcus McNeill OT Auburn to bring some toughness back into the O Line
22. Washington Redskins-Al Saunders is the new OC. Got WR? They do now. Santonio Holmes WR Ohio State should fit in nicely, don't you think?
23. Tampa Bay Buccaneers-Improved Offense with Cadillac. Mike Clayton should be back to his rookie form, and Chris Simms is my QB. But I need defense, badly. Ernie Sims LB Florida State gives me what I need.
24. Cincinatti Bengals-Good Offense, even if Carson Palmer is rehabbing. But man o man was my D burned when it counted. Darryl Tapp DE Virginia Tech gives me what I want, pressure up front.
25. Chicago Bears-I need Lovie to find and settle on a QB now. But he needs some help on Offense as well as defense. I am in a quagmire here! Help arrives in the form of Bobby Carpenter LB Ohio State to give me a moment to breath, and take some pressure off of my boy Urlacher
26. New York Giants-I need a DL, but none are available. My secondary though needs help. But my offense sucks, and I need a playmaker, so WR is out. I have to settle on the DL. Broderick Buntly DT Florida State
27. Carolina Panthers-I need a WR. Problem is, if I can't run the ball, Delhomme is a sitting duck. Laurence Maroney RB Minnesota should spell DeShaun Foster until he gets back up to speed
28. Jacksonville Jaguars-I like my team as is, despite the plyoff setback. Sinorice Moss WR Miami should give me the punch i need to help my passing game.
29. Denver Broncos-I will allow Mike Shanahan to take a wild pick here and there. Since I do sign TO for him, he needs to look at his defense. NO trvor Pryce? How about Mathias Kiwanuka DE Boston College, Mike?
30. Indianapolis Colts-Still trying to get over their, lets face it. We choke. But, I need my defense to match my offense, which will be tough without Edge. Wait, he is available? Time for a surprise pick. Maurice Drew RB UCLA
31. Seattle Seahawks-I need to sign Sean Alexander Pronto. I do, but I need to have something else. How about a Tightr End who backs it up and makes the big catches for a change? Leonard Pope TE Georgia
32. Pittsburgh Steelers-I do resign Randle El, but no Bettis is alright as Willie Parker and Duce Staley can get the job done. It might be a reach, but the physical tools are there. And I have faith in my coach that he will not drop any passes in crunch time. Derrick Hagans WR Arizona State
There. Whew! Again, this is ONLY if I were the GM of all 32 teams, this is who I would pick.
