2007 NFL Mock Draft picks 1-10
following in Ortonsault's foot steps here
1.) Oakland - WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech: I don't feel that Randy Moss will be with this team much longer and while most experts have the Raiders taking Jamarcus Russell, how can you pass on this guy? He's 6'5" 230lbs and ran a fucking 4.35 40! He's an absolute freak, and this is a fairly deep draft in terms of QB. I believe Troy Smith is an option for them at the start of the second round.
2.) Detroit - OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin: Matt Millen seeing Calvin Johnson off the board sheds a tear and drafts a non-WR at this point. Evidently Millen also loves Thomas and his O-Line needs a guy like this anyways. With Kevin Jones likely out a good portion of the season and this team starting to look like its going through another rebuilding...well they say you always start to build a team in the trenches.
3.) Cleveland - QB Jamarcus Russell, LSU: Ohio fans were hoping to see Troy Smith end up with the Browns but instead they get a QB who won his bowl game. Adrian Peterson is a possibility but at this point I'd take Jamarcus Russell and Reuben Droughns over Charlie Fry and Adrian Peterson. Especially since they could probably grab Michael Bush in the second round, and if not...well Darren McFadden is coming out next year.
4.) Tampa Bay - DE Jamaal Anderson, Arkansas: That Tampa d-line is getting old and with Simeon Rice nearing the end they'll need another good pass rusher. Anderson looks to be an even better prospect than Mario Williams too.
5.) Arizona - RB Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma: Edgerin James looks to have hit the twilight of his career and Arrington and Marcell Shipp also aren't the answer. With this pick Arizona's skill positions are all set on the offensive side of the ball.
6.) Washington - DT Alan Branch, Michigan: Washington was ranked 27th against the Rush last season. Nuff said
7.) Minnesota - CB Leon Hall, Michigan: Fred Smoot is likely gone and this team desperately needs a shutdown corner. The Vikings were pretty much exposed early in the season by the Pats when they just decided to spread'em out and have an empty backfield, then just proceeded to dink and dunk them to death.
8.) Houston - OT Levi Brown, Penn St: I know Brady Quinn is still on the board but I believe Jake Plummer joins his former o-coordinator and now Texans head coach in Houston. That o-line however has been absolutely terrible through-out that franchises existence. This starts to right the ship.
9.) Miami - WR Dwayne Jarrett, USC: I hardly believe the Dolphins will draft a QB a year after giving up a second rounder for Daunte Culpepper, and its looking like Marty Booker is going to be a cap casualty.
10.) Atlanta - S Laron Landry, LSU: Lawyer Milloy is almost done and they have no other solid options at safety. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Petrino try to talk the front office into taking Michael Bush since he knows what Bush is capable of and Warrick Dunn is creeping into his mid-30s.
