2008
Pro Bono Fantasy NFL Mock Draft
|
| |
1 |
Jake Long, OT, Michigan: Sources state the Fins are in talks with Chris Long, Pro Bono Fantasy however still feel that Miami should grab the Tackle from UM. |
| |
2 |
Chris Long, DE, Virginia: Would drastically help the Rams Defense with his intense style of play. |
| |
3 |
Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College: Good arm and NFL smarts, he should help the Falcons move pass the “Mike Vick Era”.
Will be the new face of the franchise. |
| |
4 |
Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas: Much like Adrian Peterson last year, “Run DMC” will make the Raiders run attack legit real quick in addition to “real quick”!. |
| |
5 |
Vernon Gholston, OLB, Ohio State: Great edge rusher whose solid play over the last couple seasons make him a legit Top 5 pick. |
| |
6 |
Glenn Dorsey, DT, Louisiana State: Sub-par Pro Day work outs caused this one time No.1 to slide down 5 slots. (Might shock everyone and pick Rashard Mendenhall). |
| |
7 |
Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy: The Pats get back to rebuilding a recently depleted defense, especially the defensive backfield. Must make this pick count. |
| |
8 |
Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida: This Julius Peppers-type DE will give the once mighty Ravens D a pass rusher the league will fear, something their missing. |
| |
9 |
Sedrick Ellis, DT, Southern California: Bengals are another depleted defense that will add bodies just on principle. WR woes make force a change of plan. |
| |
10 |
Keith Rivers, OLB, Southern California: With Jonathan Vilma and Dan Morgan already on the roster expect Rivers to gain experience and great knowledge. |
| |
11 |
Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida: Content with Evans, Reed, and Parrish its too early to consider receiver here. The Bills will add Jenkins unreal speed. |
| |
12 |
Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma: Bills need a big WR but pass on Kelly. The Bronc’s are banged up at wideout. Denver will send the Bills a Thank You note. |
| |
13 |
Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State: Someone has to protect Matt Moore or Jake Delhomme. We can’t have another Vinny Testaverde experiment in 2009. |
| |
14 |
Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh: Personally would love to see this guy fall to Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears about to become a ground machine with this guy on the line. |
| |
15 |
Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois: Scared off by Jonathan Stewart’s injury history the Lions actually make the right choice with this Big Ten product. |
| |
16 |
Philip Merling, DE, Clemson: Cards DE Depth Chart/ Darnell Dockett, Antonio Smith , Joe Tafoya, Bo Schobel…Yes Merling may step right in as a starter. |
| |
17 |
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State: Vikes should grab the best OL available for AP. Instead they add a DB to their crowded D backfield. |
| |
18 |
Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas: Ahman Green is not the solution to the Texans rushing problem. Jones played 2nd fiddle throughout college, now he’s the man. |
| |
19 |
Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon: Brian Westbrook is secure in his spot, but Ryan Moats and Correll Buckhalter as backups make Stewart a steal here. |
| |
20 |
DeSean Jackson, WR, California: Will make immediate impact as a return specialist, but will benefit from study under Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard. |
| |
21 |
Kenny Phillips, S, Miami: You can never replace a player like Sean Taylor overnight, bt this is a step in the right direction. |
| |
22 |
Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas: Cowboys get shutout of the stud RB sweepstakes so they add Talib a Jayhawk standout to blossoming defense. |
| |
23 |
Justin King, CB, Penn State: Steelers eventually must address their weak corner situation. King has speed and is a good cover corner. |
| |
24 |
Limas Sweed, WR, Texas: Possessing a group of rag-tag wideouts, Sweed teams up with former Longhorn Vince Young to validate the crew. |
| |
25 |
Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State: The RB’s was upgraded via Free Agency. The Seahawks upgrade the WR’s via draft, taking a chance on Thomas. |
| |
26 |
Lawrence Jackson, DE, Southern California: WR Mario Manningham slides out the 1st when the Jags pass on him. Shoud go safety but Kenny Philips is gone |
| |
27 |
Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College: As if LT need a reason to go up in value in regards to his fantasy stock. Cherilus will make a great addition. |
| |
28 |
Chris Johnson, RB, East Carolina: Desperate for a running back the Boy’s pass on Virginia Tackle Brenden Albert and Michigan WR Mario Manningham |
| |
29 |
Brenden Albert, G/T, Virginia: Frank Gore will send Cowboys owner Jerry Jones a Thank You note for giving the 49ers their tackle for the next 8-10 years. |
| |
30 |
James Hardy, WR, Indiana: Hardy is a freak of nature is just what Aaron Rodgers need in debut as the Packers signal caller. |
| |
31 |
Pick forfeited. Would have more likely addressed their aging defense, the LB’s in particular or added a WR for depth.
|
| |
32 |
Jerod Mayo, ILB, Tennessee: The Giants due to free agency enter the draft 2 LB’s short. Mayo is a necessity pick. |
