2006 TSM NFL Mock Draft

[CanadianChris]

With the 51st pick, the Minnesota Vikings select:

 

 

Abdul Hodge, LB, Iowa

[Failed Bridge]

Holy shit, I can't believe this guy dropped this far. Anyways...

 

Patriots take

 

Cedric Griffin, DB, Texas

Could play some safety if Rodney Harrison can't start the season and if Harrison is on the field then he can slide over opposite Ellis Hobbs and move Asante Samuel to the nickel spot.

[the pinjockey]

Time has passed on Washington so they can have Roger McIntosh, LB, Miami

 

KC is on the clock

[the pinjockey]

I'm going to suspend the clock for today, forgot it was the holiday. KC is on the clock until noon tomorrow.

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

Pfft, dedicated posters wouldn't let a holiday from deterring them.

[LaParkaMarka]

With the 54th pick in the 2006 TSM NFL Mock Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select...

 

 

Martin Nance, WR, Miami (Ohio)

 

Strengths:

Has tremendous size and a big frame...Is a major threat in the red zone...Is underrated athletically...Good leaper who knows how to go up and get the ball...Has big, strong, reliable hands...Will make the acrobatic catch...Physical and knows how to use his body...Tough player who is more than willing to go over the middle...Solid route runner...Intangibles are top notch...Very productive.

 

Weaknesses:

May not always play up to his timed speed...Is not very quick...Isn't an explosive athlete...Could have trouble getting separation against pro defensive backs...Probably won't be a major deep threat at the pro level...Will lose focus at times...Has missed some time due to injury...If he doesn't run well in workouts teams may downgrade his upside to that of a #2 or possession receiver.

 

KC needs some youth at WR. Nance is huge, and along with Gonzo and Larry Johnson the KC attack could be absolutely montrous in the red zone. If the defense stuffs the box with eigth people, toss a fade to Gonzo or Nance. If they put coverage on either, let LJ do his thing. This could be a really big help in some potential shootouts with the other high powered offenses in their division.

With the 55th pick in the NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select......

 

Kamerion Wimbley, DE/OLB, Florida State

 

I think there is no chance he falls this far, but this would be a great pick-up for the Bengals, as he was my second choice behind Tye Hill in the 1st Round. I am guessing he will be mostly used as a LB for Cincy, but will be able to be used as a DE on certain downs, much like David Pollack.

[the pinjockey]

You are right that there is no way he falls this far, but don't discount the fact that it seems like there is always at least one player that plummets somewhat.

 

The next two picks pm'ed them to me

 

Giants - Claude Wroten, DT, LSU

Chicago - AJ Nicholson, OLB, Florida St.

 

Carolina is on the clock

[Gert T]

With the 58th pick in the NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select....

 

Anthony Fasano, TE Notre Dame

[teke184]

Wow... I'm surprised Wroten dropped to the end of the 2nd round.

 

 

I know the reason I passed on him was that the Saints need an LB much more than a DT.

 

Why did everyone else pass on him? His January bust? A lack of need at that position?

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

I suppose SD could have used him, but I figured WR and CB was a bigger need.

[LaParkaMarka]

I considered him for the Chiefs, but I really don't know much about him. He seems too small to be an effective tackle though.

[Kahran Ramsus]

With the 59th Pick of the 2006 Smartmarks NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select G Davin Joseph from Oklahoma.

 

 

Strengths:

Has a wide frame and long arms...Is a pretty good athlete and moves well inside at guard...Tough and very strong...Packs quite an initial punch...Aggressive and plays with a nasty demeanor on the field...Smart and very technically sound...Is effective as both a run and pass blocker...A hard worker with excellent intangibles who really wants to improve...Has a lot of experience against top competition.

 

Weaknesses:

Lacks great height...Footwork is only average...Becomes much less effective and doesn't look nearly as athletic when asked to move outside...Can do a better job of getting to the second level...Can improve his conditioning to help increase stamina...Struggled a little when he was moved to left tackle as a senior in '05.

 

Notes:

Could possibly see some time at tackle but is a much better fit at guard...Has been overshadowed throughout his career but has consistently graded out very high for one of the better offensive lines in the nation...Should start very early on

[the pinjockey]

Time is up on Jax so we'll give them - Brian Calhoun, RB, Wisconsin and go on

 

Denver is on the clock

 

So how many people are actually interested in sticking around for a third round? I'll keep it going as long as there are enough people to make it interesting (8-10 posters at least) instead of just two or three people taking ten teams a piece.

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America]

I'll do it, but I won't be available Friday evening through Saturday Afternoon. Still, since my pick is last....

[Kahran Ramsus]

I would do it if the 12 hour rule is enforced. No more taking 3 days for picks.

[the pinjockey]

It is going to be enforced, I was thinking about even pushing it down to a 6-8 hour limit which would increase pm usage.

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

I know, I'm just echoing Kahran's post in relation to my being in it. I'm game as long as the time limit is enforced. You say it will be, so thus, count me in.

[the pinjockey]

Just screwin with you. Got to get some kind of frustration out about being trapped at work on the first really great spring time day we've gotten.

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

Bummer. This is why I like having an outdoor job. Btw, if it's alright, I'd prefer to scale back to being only San Diego, but if you need an Arizona, then I'll do it (though you could ask Leena)

[CanadianChris]

If it's going to be 6-8 hours, I'm still in.

 

Pick coming this evening.

[the pinjockey]

Just a heads up, if we do go forward the pick clock will be lowered to 6 hours to make make it certain that the 3rd round is finished before the draft.

[therealworldschampion]

Count me in for the 3rd round.

[CanadianChris]

With the 61st pick, the Denver Broncos select:

 

 

Rodrique Wright, DT, Texas

[Kahran Ramsus]

6-8 Hours isn't very good. If a pick is made when I'm heading to work, the time will have expired by the time I get home. 12 hours is better.

[USC Wuz Robbed!]

You could just PM your top two choices before you go to work...

[BX]

With the 6nd pick, the Indianapolis Colts select:

 

 

Jonathan Lewis, DT, Virginia Tech

[the pinjockey]

Seattle's time has run out so we'll give them Ray Edwards, DE, Purdue

 

Steelers are on the clock

 

Since only a few people have responded for round 3 I think we'll call it a day after this final pick.
