Re: 2010 NSBB mock draft

OMC and the Saints are now on the clock. I PMd him.

 

OMC's last post was 2/27, FYI

 

Yeah, we'll see if he can get the pick to me. Otherwise, we'll make a consensus pick for him.

 

That said, does anybody have any thoughts on this pick?

[Outshined_One]

OMC just emailed me his pick.

 

Sean Lee, ILB, Penn State

[dew1679666265]

Alright then, we have completed the second round. We'll move on to the third round, then, and I have spoiler tagged the first two rounds and added the draft order for the third round to the first post in this thread.

 

mul21 and reggiemiller rules are now on the clock for the Rams' pick. I PMd them.

[mul21]

Eric Decker and Riley Cooper were possibilities here, but the interior of the Rams lines (O and D) have been awful, so they take Rodger Saffold, G, Indiana.

Already taken by the Eagles with pick 55.

[mul21]

I guess I'll go with Decker then since I really don't like any of the other OG here.

[Formerly Snayke]

Decker would be a good pick. I think they'll go Thaddeus Gibson.

[dew1679666265]

Decker's interesting. I think he can be a solid receiver, but nobody seems to be just sure how fast he is.

 

sneakypower and the Lions are on the clock. I PMd him.

[sneakypower]

cool, the guy i wanted made it to me this time

 

Dexter McCluster, RB/WR, Ole Miss

[dew1679666265]

I'll be surprised if McCluster falls out of the second round. Somebody will fall in love with his explosion.

 

SpongeWorthy and the Buccaneers are on the clock. I PMd him.

I'm less concerned with that than I am his size. The Rams receivers are all midgets (except for Laurent Robinson) so having a big target was the big thing here.

 

I looked at Thaddeus Gibson, but think they can get some help at DE later.

I was a little surprised you didn't go QB with that pick. John Skelton would be a great pick in the third round.

I like what I've seen from Pike and was considering him there, but that's just too early. In the actual draft, it wouldn't surprise me if McCoy is still there at the start of round 3. Of course, that won't matter since they'll be taking Bradford first overall.

Yeah, I like Pike as well. I don't think anywhere in the third round is too early for him. I'd probably take him before McCoy myself.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'll take Tyson Alualu, DT, Cal.

[Guest]

The Chiefs take Cam Thomas, DT, North Carolina.

[dew1679666265]

Really nice pick.

 

The Browns and UK are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[dew1679666265]

Any thoughts on the Browns' pick here?

[dew1679666265]

Alright, the Browns need a big running back to pair with Jerome Harrison. Both Montario Hardesty and Anthony Dixon would be good options here, but Dixon is a little more of a pure power back and doesn't have the durability issues Hardesty does.

 

Thus, the Browns take Anthony Dixon, RB, Mississippi State. Truffle and the Eagles are now on the clock. I PMd him.

It's a decent pick but if I am not mistaken Holmgren doesn't normally take RB's much at all in the draft.

In four years of drafting as a GM, Holmgren has taken 2 RBs, Shaun Alexander and Maurice Morris. Wouldn't call that "not normally" taking a RB.

I thought strongly about Jason Worilds here as he'll be an absolute steal at this point in the draft, but couldn't justify it after the Browns took Norwood in the second round. The receivers aren't stellar here and most of the good NTs went a few picks ago.

 

Maybe a defensive back here, but otherwise I think running back is the best value.

I'd say the only thing that was a little surprising is that you didn't consider Gerhart, except possibly for durability issues.

I'm not as high on Gerhart as I am on Dixon and Hardesty. All three are more power-oriented backs, but Dixon and Hardesty have both shown more speed than Gerhart. Both Hardesty and Dixon have run in the 4.4 range, while Gerhart has been in the low 4.5s.

Everywhere I've checked has Dixon in the 4.6 range, with Gerhart and Hardesty in the 4.5 range.
