NSBB NFL mock draft 2011 - Saints (IMB) on the clock

[dew1679666265]

Justin Houston is an extremely tempting pick here as he's the BPA and the Jets could use a pure speed rusher like Houston. However, need trumps want at this point and the Jets take a player who could fit their five-technique DT need perfectly.

 

With the 30th pick, the Jets select Phil Taylor, DT, Baylor.

 

rawaction and the Steelers are now on the clock, I'll PM him.

Good value. I was starting to think he might fall to No. 45.

The Jets were in a really good spot there with both Taylor and Houston still on the board. I like both of them in a 3-4 defense.

[rawaction]

Steelers select Brandon Harris, CB Miami. Justin Houston doesn't fit a need at OLB. Steelers need someone opposite Ike Taylor, and may need to replace Ike as he is a free agent, whenever that happens.

With Driver getting up there in age and Jones possibly being let go in the offseason, another WR would certainly come in handy for a team that relies heavily on its playmakers. I could see us going with a defensive lineman here, but I'm going to stick with a guy that should be able to properly replace Driver once he hangs it up.

 

Packers select Jon Baldwin out of Pitt.

[dew1679666265]

With the first round complete, we move on to the second round. I spoilered the results of the first round in the first post and added the 2nd round draft order.

 

Splendid Splinter and the Patriots are on the clock for the second round. I PMd him.

[Splendid Splinter]

Interesting... This is kinda a tough pick for the Pats. There's a lot of ways Pats can go with here. Honestly, I think they're gonna go BAP here regardless of position in the real draft so, therefore...

 

Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama

 

 

Not exactly who I want (but I'm fine with it if they do) the Pats to pick as I think Green-Ellis/Woodhead combo is enough, but Pats do like Ingram and have seen rumors that they could pick him with their 17th pick (which would be stupid IMO). I'm trying to think like the Patriots organization instead of what I want to see so it's more realistic. Plus, Ingram is only gonna help that offense even more now that they'll have a running game to go with that passing...

[EhDubya]

The Bills really need to make a decision regarding the Quarterback position moving forward. If they don't add a player like Kevin Kolb through trade, then they at least need to try to find a good young one to try to develop, but fail miserably.

 

The Bills take a leap of faith on Christian Ponder.

[rocket]

the bengals for some reason go for a character guy to lead their offense in the future.

 

bengals take colin kaepernick, qb nevada

[dew1679666265]

It's time for Justin Houston to come off the board. He's easily a first round talent and for the Broncos to snag him here is a really good value. Denver needs more D-line depth as they make the switch to the 4-3 and while Dumervil should be fine making the move from OLB to DE, Robert Ayers is highly questionable at this point. So, the Broncos choose to continue to focus on defense and bolster the line depth.

 

The Broncos select Justin Houston, DE, Georgia.

 

Treeman and the Browns are on the clock, I'll PM him.

[treebird]

Rahim Moore - S - UCLA

 

A WR is tempting here, but the Browns go with a S in the 2nd two years in a row. With Haden, Ward and Moore, the Browns form a dangerous defensive backfield for years to come.

[rawaction]

I'm going to assume the Cards will listen to Fitz and bring in an established QB with either McNabb, Kolb, Bulger, or Flynn. And they'll develop John Skelton in the meantime. So, Cards pass on QB again and help out what was a pretty dismal OL last year.

 

Cards select Benjamin Ijalana, OT/OG Villanova.

[dew1679666265]

With Locker, Ponder and Kaepernick all off the board at this point, this draft is pretty much a worst case scenario for the Titans at this point. The need at QB is pretty desperate, but the Titans appear to be shying away from character concern guys (reportedly have no real interest in Cam Newton for that reason) which likely means they would pass on Mallett here. I like Mallett's arm, but the lack of mobility, even just inside the pocket, is disconcerting. So, the Titans pass on a QB here with the hopes that Flynn or Kolb can be acquired later and then will work to develop Rusty Smith.

 

Instead, the Titans choose to address their line depth and go with Danny Watkins, OG, Baylor. Eugene Amano and Leroy Harris were iffy at best last season at the guard and center spots and the Titans could use a little extra depth anyway. Watkins is a bit older (26), but is mature enough to start from day one if he can beat out Harris or Amano and is a big, powerful lineman like Munchak likes. Length is a bit of a concern, but that and age are the only real drawbacks to Watkins' game.

 

vance and the Cowboys are now on the clock, I'll PM him.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I was all set to solve Dallas OL problems by adding Watkins to first round pick Tyron Smith.

 

Now, Dallas will look to add some beef to the D-line by adding Stephen Paea, DT Oregon State.

Sorry vance. Blame EhDubya and rocket for taking Ponder and Kaepernick right before my pick. I'd have loved either of them at the Titans' spot.

Replacing one malcontent for a potential one may not seem like the best of ideas, but this is the Redskins and they like to do crazy things. Therefore, Washington chooses to bolster its defensive line depth (and overall talent) by taking a guy that, purely on talent, should have gone in the top 5 picks of the draft.

 

The Redskins select Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina. There are all kinds of needs and holes on this team, but with Big Albert trying to make his way out of town, Austin gives the Redskins the versatility to play some inside and also move outside (where he'd likely be more effective in a 3-4).

 

The Texans and Lo_Pan_Fan are now on the clock. I'll PM him.

[Magnetic Curses]

jeez

 

the texans take Kenrick Ellis, NT, Hampton

[dew1679666265]

The Vikings need a quarterback pretty desperately and didn't take one in the first round. Another guy with top 10 talent is still sitting around at this pick and his risk is greatly reduced at this point.

 

So, the Vikings select Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas. sneakypower and the Lions are now on the clock. I'll PM him.

[sneakypower]

44. Detroit Lions - Bruce Carter, OLB, North Carolina

 

athletic freak slips to 2nd round due to injury concerns, definite position of need, i'd be glad to see us go this route with our 2nd pick

Sorry, you were past the 24 hours. If you want, you can make your own pick.

I was under the impression that I would get a PM when I was on the clock. Was the title changed to Vikings on the clock? If it was, I didn't see it.

Yep, you were supposed to get a PM. The title was changed to the Vikings on the clock, but I can see where that could be missed.

 

You can go ahead and make a pick if you want to replace Mallett - it'd be better that way because you know the Vikings far better than I do.
