Interesting Mock I found.

I didn't make this mock but I think it would be pretty cool if this stuff happened.

Coaching changes:
Arizona hires Norm Chao as head coach- Bring in Matt Leinart’s old mentor

Trade:
Atlanta trades Matt Schaub for Randy Moss



Free Agent Signings:
Detroit Lions sign T Leonard Davis- Underperformer in Arizona has enough clout to sign a god sized deal for a team desperate for O-Line help

NY Jets sign CB Asante Samuel- Patriots will not match the deal old coach Mangine will give to regain one of his prized pocessions to fill a big hole

Philadelphia signs LB Adalius Thomas- Desperate need for a run stopper will make Philly the number one bidder for this star.

Detroit signs RB Ahman Green- Kevin Jones' injury may be serious. One area where Green will get a heavy dose of time.

Miami signs RB Chris Brown- Two RB system may be the best for Ronnie Brown.

New Orleans signs TE Daniel Graham- Will enjoy playing in a system that calls for him to block, his specialty, and he will, for the first time, be the number one receiving option for his squad at TE.

Kansas City signs WR Drew Bennet- Have been in desperate need for a strong receiver. Bennet will get a good deal in this weak free agent class for WR's.

Oakland cuts Warren Sapp, resign Terdel Sands- Sands will demand playing time to resign, and Sapp will be forced to be a salary cap casualty.

Indianapolis signs DT Warren Sapp- Tony Dungy needs a plugger in the middle and Sapp is one of his favorites. Will give Sapp the opporunity to play for a contender.

St. Louis Rams cut Issac Bruce, resign Kevin Curtis- Bruce still has game, but Curtis is a great talent and Bruce has reached his peak.

Tennessee signs WR Issac Bruce- Desperately need help at the WR position. Bruce can help Vince Young's maturity rise even further.

Cincinatti resigns DE Justin Smith

Tampa Bay signs LB Lance Briggs- Played and excelled in the Cover 2. Could help to bring back defensive intensity to the Bucs.

Houston signs OL Mike Gandy- Athletic lineman fits perfectly into Gary Kubiak's blocking scheme.

New Orleans signs CB Nate Clements- Maybe the top player in the free agency class, Clements will be drawn to Payton and the story of the Saints.

San Diego signs LB Junior Seau- Still chasing that elusive ring, what better team to do it with then the one that made him famous?

Arizona signs C Hank Fraley- Need offensive line help in the worst way

Carolina signs LB Cato June- Panthers need tacklers and June is one of the best in the business.

Indianapolis resigns DE Dwight Freeny- After a subpar year, the offers won't be as strong as they would have been last year.

49ers sign S Ken Hamlin

Minnesota cuts CB Fred Smoot

Arizona signs CB Fred Smoot






1 Oakland: trades 1st pick to Arizona for 5th pick, 37th pick, and 2008 second round pick
Arizona: Joe Thomas, T (Wisconsin): Cardinals will have to give up this much to get their target. Detroit, Cleveland, and Oakland all have trouble with their offensive lines and need to upgrade, and there is no Quinn-Russell like debate at tackle. Thomas is the best and you’ll need to give to get him if you’re picking number 5. Exactly what the Cardinals need. A big, dominant left tackle who is athletic and intelligent enough to make the move over to right to help protect Leinart’s blindside.


2. Detroit: Jamarcus Russell, QB (LSU): They need an offensive line, that is true. But the fact is, the Lions are a weak team. They have no QB for the future. Kitna is old. If they loved McCown, he’d have been the starter at the end of the season. Orlovsky wasn’t brought in to ever be a starter, just a body on the depth chart. Russell outplaying Quinn in the Sugar Bowl will give him the edge and become the man to deliver Roy Williams the ball.

3. Cleveland: Trades 3rd overall pick to Minnesota for 7th , 39th pick, and 2008 2nd round pick
Minnesota: Calvin Johnson, WR (Georgia Tech): It will be a bidding war with Cleveland to get Johnson. Tampa will have two 2nd rounders to offer up, so if Minnesota really wants him they’ll have to seriously up the ante. Childress should drool over the possibility of this freakish athlete running down the field the way players can fly on Minny’s turf. Minny will also know that if they don’t get CJ at this pick, they will most likely loose out on their number 2 option, Gaines Adams, to either Tampa or Washington.


4. Tampa Bay: Gaines Adams, DE (Clemson): They will be broken hearted to loose out on Johnson, but Adams also fills a big need as a pass rusher.

5. Oakland: Adrian Peterson, RB (Oklahoma): Great talent, has the potential to be a game breaker for the Raiders. Runs in the same style as Raider’s great Marcus Allen.

6. Washington: Alan Branch, DT (Michigan): Give up far too many rushing yards. Ends draw a lot of attention because their tackles can be blocked man to man.

7. Cleveland: Brady Quinn, QB (Notre Dame): They’ll have 2 picks in the second round and presumably 2 picks in next year’s second round to build the offensive line up for the future. Get a potential franchise QB behind center. Quinn may struggle at times, but we need to stop looking at him as an NFL ready QB and maybe as a guy who has a lot of tools and just needs some fine tuning.

8. Houston: Darrele Revis, CB (Pittsburgh): Very talented corner will fly up the draft charts due to his athleticism and the struggles Leon Hall had the last 2 games of his collegiate career.

9. Miami: Glen Dorsey, DT (LSU): All-American has the mix of strength and athleticism to make him a cornerstone for an NFL front four.

10. Atlanta: Reggie Nelson, S (Florida): Almost a steal for one of the draft’s top prospects, Nelson can help prevent the big plays that the Falcons have been giving up this season.

11. San Francisco: Dwayne Jarrett, WR (USC): The Niners have needs at the defensive end, but there are many other ways to go about that. Also need a guy who can be a true number one guy for a very fastly improving Alex Smith. The question will be is who is the better player- Leon Hall, Laron Landry, or Dwayne Jarrett. Jarrett will be the guy and safety and corner will wait until next round.

12. Buffalo: Justin Blalock, OL (Texas): Losman has proven that he can play, and McGhee has done well even behind terrible offensive lines. Its time to give the Bills someone who can make a difference on the line. Blalock may be considered a reach by some, but he is by far the best lineman available and the best pick for the Bills.

13. St. Louis: Laron Landry, S (LSU): Secondary has been a work in progress for years now. Possibly the combination of youngsters Hill and Landry can give them some stability.

14. Carolina: Marshawn Lynch, RB (California): picked as trade bait

15. Green Bay: Leon Hall, CB (Michigan): Talented corner has had some struggles late in the year, but could be the anchor for the aging, not very good Green Bay secondary. Will team with the young LB’s to form one of the better young defenses in the NFL.

16. Pittsburgh: Quentin Moses, DE/LB (Georgia): Big, strong, athletic tweener fits perfect with the defense Pittsburgh runs. Whether or not Cowher returns, the pick remains strong for Pitt.

17. Jacksonville: Patrick Willis, LB (Mississippi): One of, if not the best, linebacker in the draft, he can help Jacksonville’s defense remain atop the league.

18. Cincinatti: Amobi Okoye, DT (Louisville): Not as big as Marvin Lewis typically likes his tackles, but big enough. Could be a serious run stuffer and help get to the QB.

19 . Tennessee: Ted Ginn JR, WR (Ohio State)
Very athletic receiver has superstar or bust potential. The Titans want a number one receiver to grow with the combination of Young and White.

20. NY Giants: Troy Smith, QB (Ohio State):
Trade draft rights to QB Troy Smith and 3rd round pick to the Panthers for draft rights to Marshawn Lynch: The Giants need a RB to replace Barber, and when they see a player of Lynch’s caliber available down the stretch they’ll be quick to get on the phone. The Panthers need a young QB. They’ll see Lynch would be the Giants top target and they’ll hold him hostage for a 3rd rounder.

21. Denver: Michael Griffin, S (Texas): Need youth at the safety position, and especially need help gaining depth in the secondary following the sad death of Darrent Williams.

22. New England (via Seattle): Lamarr Woodley, LB/DE (Michigan): The type of player Belicheck will love to get. Banta-Cain is probably going to leave via free agency, and Vrabel could very well move into MLB. Either way, he gives them a player who can do a lot of things and Belicheck will love his versatility.

23. Dallas: Levi Brown, T (Penn State): Big, athletic tackle could help to fill the hole at right tackle, giving more protection to new golden boy Romo.

24. Kansas City: Quinn Pitcock, DT (Ohio State): Stud DT is a steal at 24. Will help the ever improving Kansas City defense.

25. New Orleans: Tank Tyler, DT (NC State): A big reason why the Saints had such success stopping the run this season was due to their ability to plug up holes. Hollis Thomas was a huge reason for that, but he is aging. Tyler can step into that role and allow the linebackers to possible have another solid season like they did this year.

26. NY Jets: Charles Johnson, DE/LB (Georgia): The “other” Quentin Moses is also an incredibly athletic tweener who could be that missing link at OLB for the Jets.

27. Philadelphia: Michael Bush, RB (Louisville): A surprise pick. Bush is a promising RB prospect who can give more diversity to the offense of the Eagles with his bruising running style, allowing Westbrook to flank out more.

28. New England: (trade pick to Cleveland for 35th pick and conditional 2008 pick):
Cleveland: Jared Gaither, T (Maryland): Has a lot to learn, but a mammoth man who has star potential.

29. Indianapolis: Lawrence Timmons, LB (Florida St.): Playmaking linebacker has excellent athleticism and could help chase down ball carriers for the Colts and possibly actually stop the run.

30. Baltimore: Paul Posluszny, LB (Penn State): A steal as the playmaker will go to the league's best D.

31. Chicago: Earl Everett, LB (Florida): Talented athlete at the OLB position, he will both fill a hole for the departure of Briggs, while also bringing the athleticism to fit in in the cover 2.

32. San Diego: Aaron Sears, G (Tennessee): There isn’t a huge hole on this team. Goff is aging and they have no real depth at guard, so Sears would be a logical pick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

33. Oakland: Paul Williams, WR (Fresno St.): Overlooked receiver will amaze at the combine.

34. Detroit: Buster Davis, LB (Florida St.): Struggle mightily on the defensive end, and part of that is due to the terrible LB play they’ve received from Lenon.

35.New England (via Cleveland): Daymeion Hughes, CB (Cal): Has the instincts and intelligence that Belicheck will love.

36. Tampa Bay: Johnnie Lee Higgins, WR (UTEP): Another superb athlete who will fly up the board.

37. Oakland (via Arizona): James Marten, T (Boston College): Mix of athleticism and strength makes him a very intriguing prospect.

38. Jets: Eric Weddle, S (Utah): Very talented safety has the intangibles Mangini loves in a prospect.

39. Cleveland: Adam Carriker, DE (Nebraska): Talented end has the size and athleticism to play in the 3-4.

40. Houston: Ryan Harris, T (Notre Dame): Has all the tools that Kubiak loves in a tackle thanks to his speed and athleticism.

41. Miami: Rufus Alexander, OLB (Oklahoma): Excellent playmaker can help the run defense.

42. Atlanta: Joe Staley, T (Central Michigan): Neither Gandy or Weiner are in their youth. Staley is the ideal type of lineman for the Falcons with his quickness of feet.

43. San Francisco: Marcus McCauley, S/CB (Fresno State): Can add depth to both S and CB for the Niners.

44. Buffalo: Zach Miller, TE (Arizona St.): Robert Royal is among the bottom of the NFL among starting TE’s in catches. Miller could help to spread the field for Losman and Evans.

45. St. Louis: Victor Abiamari, DE (Notre Dame): Great athlete with solid NFL DE size could help bring a pass rush for the Rams that Adeyanju does not.

46. Carolina: Greg Olsen, TE (Miami): Talented receiver and route runner could give them their first solid TE in years.

47. Green Bay: Kenny Irons, RB (Auburn): With Green most likely gone, they need a franchise caliber back.

48. Pittsburgh: Josh Beekman, C (Boston College): All-American appears text book perfect sometimes.

49. Jacksonville: Ray McDonald, DE (Florida): Hometown guy could add a pass rush from the side.

50. Cincinatti: Samson Satele, OL (Hawaii): Need to find some top prospects to protect Palmer.

51. Tennessee: Tim Crowder, DE (Texas): They’ll hope lightning strikes twice with draftees from Texas.

52. NY Giants: Aaron Ross, CB (Texas): Great prospect with excellent coverage ability should be a second round steal.

53. Denver: Dwayne Bowe, WR (LSU): Good pocession receiver. The Broncos need depth at receiver.

54. Kansas City: Robert Meachem, WR (Tennessee): Could be that number one they’ve been looking for.

55. Seattle: Manuel Ramirez, G (Texas Tech): Powerful run blocker who should be able to help make life easier for Alexander after the loss of Hutchins.

56. Dallas: David Irons, CB (Auburn): Cowboys have talent in the secondary, but there is no excuse for how they’ve been playing. They need some fresh talent since Glenn is old and Henry has become a whipping boy.

57. New Orleans: H.B Blades, LB (Pittsburgh): Very intelligent inside linebacker. Simoneau is solid, but depth can be added.

58. NY Jets: Brian Leonard, FB (Rutgers): A check down QB like Mangini will love having this guy and his ability to make catches out of the backfield.

59. Philadelphia: Tanard Jackson, CB (Syracuse): Talented corner could add depth to the position for the Eagles.

60. New England: David Harris, LB (Michigan): Instinctive LB with good bulk is a bit of a reach, but fills a need in the aging ILB core of N.E.

61. Tampa Bay (via Indianapolis): Justin Harrel, DT (Tennessee): More promising youth to the defensive line of the Bucs.

62. Chicago: Kyle Young, C (Fresno State): Need youth on the offensive line.

63. Baltimore: Drew Stanton, QB (Michigan St.): McNair can't play forever. Stanton has a lot of intangibles that will be seen in the workouts.

64. San Diego: Aaron Rouse, S (Virginia Tech): They don’t have a lot of needs, but safety is one.

interesting....but no where near what will actually happen

care to elaborate?

[Monty'sCircus]

1. Combine will determine many players draft positions, so this mock is a little early.
2. Predicting who will sign where? Do I really have to elaborate?

It's interesting to read, but you have to take it all with a grain of salt.

[DeadEagle]

Good read.

I'd expect some players' to significantly move up/down after the combine and workouts.

I do expect some trades in respect to draft day, though.

I certainly hope there are some trades also....in fact Im praying the bucs move down 5-10 spots and pick up another 1st rounder...

[Monty'sCircus]

Pats could use a great WR...give 'em a ring bruce

How bout this trade.
Bucs 3rd or 4th overall and Maurice Stovall.
In turn for
Both of the Patriots first rounders this year, their second, and next years second.

[The Future]

So basically Colts have 3 million in cap room right now with 12 starters to resign. But they can afford Sapp?

It would be nice, but highly unlikely. Probably more like their 1st rounders and a 2/3rd rd pick. But who knows...I'm just day dreaming

IDK cut C. Simon and don't resign Cato June.

Stovall is the only guy on offense this year that showed any promise, that would be an awful trade.

Everyone is assuming Freeney will get franchised, but I'm really starting to wonder whether they'll be able to.

REDO MANNINGS CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!
AND GIVE BOTH OUR SECONDS ROUNDERS FOR MCNABB(OU WOULD UNDERSTAND IF YOU WERE WATCHING THE GAME GOING ON RIGHT NOW).

[Q-man]

So they have the Raiders trading out of the #1 slot.
Not going to happen.
They have Browns trading out of the #3 or 4 slot.
Not going to happen, because Vikings can't afford
to give that much up.
So, in truth, this mock is pure fiction/fantasyland talk.
But it was interesting to read.

i made a mess in my pants

Brady Quinn
Jared Gaither
Adam Carriker

and oh yeah, hank fraley is going to stay in cleveland, he's a decent lineman that actually wants to stay here

i see us being a little bit more active in the free agent market

[TeeBeeFan]

This mock has Cleveland winning the toss. Shouldn't the Bucs have the pick in front of Cleveland in the second if that happens? I thought they alternate back and forth every round?
