        <body>Not going to lie: You got Henne in Miami a dn McFadden In Oakland, even if Henne was a much later pick, that is pretty damn good for a year in advance.  Kudos.  BTW: I hope Calais is that good, because the Cards got him in the second day so that would be steal</body>

        <body>Haha, I messed up and put that post on the wrong year early mock. Anyway, I love how this message board is LITERED...LITERED with people who were talking about how bad the redskins would be...How about 9-7 and a playoff berth, then you look at the fact they had the PAckers and Giants beat the whole game and barely lost it at the end and they shouldve been 11-5. All you redskin haters found out you guys were dumb to think we'd be picking top 10. Skins have one of the best O-lines in football with Chris Samuels, Jon Jansen, Rabach, Thomas, and Kendall. THey have an elite pass rusher in Andre CArter, three really good cornerbacks, Marcus Washington, London Fletcher, and Rocky McIntosh all excelled last year at LB. CP and Betts at RB, now we have a stacked WR corps and a PRO BOWL TE, Chris Cooley. Jason CAmpbell is getting better everyday and theres proof behind that. CAmpbell has a huge arm and great intelligence for the west coast. Washiington will be in the playoffs again.</body>

        <body>Well, I think most of this is ridiculous. Given last years projections, I have a feeling I'm right. You had two guys in your one year early mock last year that didnt even get drafted!!!! Vince Hall and Adarius Bowman!! I'm a diehard Arizona State fan, but theres no way Mike Jones is going 1st round. He's too small from a bulk standpoint...Judging by DeSean Jacksons fall because of the same reason, no first round for Mike Jones. CJ Spiller as a top 10 guy is stupid, he's too inconsistent play-to-play to spend that much money on. Taylor Mays will be top 5, period. Malcolm Jenkins to the Buccs at 20??? Are you insane, they just drafted a CB with a number 1 and Malcolm is a cover corner with 4.4 speed, he wont last past the 15th pick. 

I have a boat load of issues with your order...but the one that is most ridiculous is the Cheifs finishing bad enough to have the number 4 pick. Not saying the Cheifs will be over .500, but they still have LJ. THeir defense will only get better in my opinion and they were good last year. Wether they have a QB or not, they have good weapons: Dwayne Bowe, Gonzo, LJ, Jamaal Charles is really good outta the backfield receiving, and they have some other underrated WRs. Cheifs will finish no worse than 6-10. 

Patriots and Cowboys in the Super Bowl, really?? They two most hated franchises battling it out in front of only their own fans with every other football fan committing suicide.... I dont know about most people, but I'd rather watch the XFL than the Cowboys vs. Patriots in the Super Bowl. A regular season matchup would be fine, but I dont ever wanna see either one of those teams win a super bowl ever again. Plus, from a logic standpoint, the PAts dont have a good secondary to say the very least and to get through the AFC, they have to defend the pass. Cowboys also have some issues people refuse to talk about. Flozell and Marc Columbo tear momentum out of their team every week with a ridiculous amount of false starts. Cowboys secondary is still in question and I'm not sold on their front seven other than DWare. Cowboys WRs a OOLLLLDDD, which means risk for injury and like it or not Romo hasnt proven even a little bit that he's ready for the big stage. Losses to the Patriots in the regular season last year and the quick exit to the Giants in the playoffs. Not to mention the Seattle game two years ago. Romo is serviceable and has TO and Witten to rely upon, but when it comes down to it, he chokes. I love the Cowboys' pickup of TE Mertelllus Bennett though, either him or Witten have the ability to line up out wide and make plays....versatility is key for offenses in the NFL now days.</body>

Mark Anderson+ Adewale Ogunleye
then Alex Brown playing off the bench

        <body>What are McFadden's character issues again? That he drives a funny looking car? That he has some crappy tattos? Not sure what gated community you live in, but where I'm from neither of those things make McFadden character risk. You get 20 words and bring up character issues. Phil Taylor did 3 pages for your magazine and I saw nothing about character issues. You might want to go talk to some black people at some point in your life.</body>

  <body>The best part of a future mock draft is determining the order of teams. If you care to argue about that or the players I selected, bring it on:&amp;nbsp; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Raiders: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas -&lt;/strong&gt; McFadden ran for 182 yards against LSU, which is basically an NFL team. Character questions, but these are the Raiders. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. Texans: Jake Long, OT, Michigan -&lt;/strong&gt; After Matt Schaub gets sacked as often as David Carr, Houston realizes it&amp;#39;s still got a problem.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. Vikings: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville -&lt;/strong&gt; Strong running game, and no passing game translates to 4-12 for the Vikes in 2007.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Lions: Calais Campbell, DE, Miami -&lt;/strong&gt; I was tempted to put the top WR on the board here, but Matt Millen may not be around to run the draft.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Buccaneers: Sam Baker, LT, USC -&lt;/strong&gt; Will this be the first pick of the post-Gruden era?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Dolphins: Chad Henne, QB, Michigan -&lt;/strong&gt; The &amp;lsquo;Fins make up for controversial &amp;#39;07 pick of an Ohio State WR by taking a Michigan QB. You have to love the symmetry. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Cardinals: Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida -&lt;/strong&gt; Pass-rushers are always valuable.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Titans: Kenny Phillips, S, Miami -&lt;/strong&gt; Phillips gets the edge over Antoine Cason.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. Cowboys (via Browns):&lt;/strong&gt; Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU - Strong D-lineman for Wade Phillips&amp;#39; defense.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. Falcons: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas -&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Tempted to go QB here, but only if the Falcons are bad enough to get Brohm. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;11. Bills: Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College -&lt;/strong&gt; Love those BC linemen.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;12. Packers: DeSean Jackson, WR, California -&lt;/strong&gt; Finally a playmaker for Favre. Just a year too late.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;13. Giants: Steve Slaton, RB, West Virginia -&lt;/strong&gt; The new Tiki. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;14. Rams: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU -&lt;/strong&gt; Dorsey is LSU&amp;#39;s defensive star, but falls a bit because of lack of NFL size (6-foot-2, 299).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;15. Chiefs: Keith Rivers, OLB, USC -&lt;/strong&gt; If the Trojans dominate this year, all their prospects will look good.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;16. Jaguars: Mario Manningham, WR, Michigan&amp;nbsp;-&lt;/strong&gt; They want to take over the Lions&amp;#39; title of team that takes the most WRs in the first round. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;17. Eagles: Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC&amp;nbsp;-&lt;/strong&gt; Hard to tell if the Eagles will be at 7 or 27. All depends on Donovan McNabb.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;18. Panthers: Early Doucet, WR, LSU -&lt;/strong&gt; Doucet benefits from how well the LSU WRs taken this year play.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;19. Steelers: Paul Oliver, CB, Georgia -&lt;/strong&gt; I wasn&amp;#39;t sure whether to put the Steelers at No. 28 or No. 8. All depends on Mike Tomlin. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;20. Jets: Frank Okam, DT, Texas&amp;nbsp;-&lt;/strong&gt; Not necessarily an Eric Mangini kind of guy, but might fill need at nose tackle. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21. Ravens: Shawn Crable, LB -&lt;/strong&gt; Can play multiple positions Adalius Thomas-style.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;22. Redskins: Vince Hall, LB, Va. Tech -&lt;/strong&gt; The &amp;lsquo;Skins actually have picks this year!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;23. Seahawks: John David Booty, QB, USC&lt;/strong&gt; - Matt Hasselbeck isn&amp;#39;t getting any younger ... or any more hair.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;24. Patriots (via 49ers): James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State -&lt;/strong&gt; Passed on LBs early on in this draft.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;25. Cowboys: Adarius Bowman, WR, Oklahoma State -&lt;/strong&gt; Will learn from a Terrell Owens just like Dwayne Jarrett will learn from Keyshawn Johnson in Carolina. (Meaning this is T.O.&amp;#39;s last year in Big D.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;26. Chargers: Dan Conner, LB, Penn State -&lt;/strong&gt; Conner is probably a better pro prospect than the Bills&amp;#39; second-round pick &lt;a href=&quot;http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2007/draft/players/8566.html&quot;&gt;Paul Posluszny&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;27. Bears: Chris Long, DE, Virginia -&lt;/strong&gt; Howie&amp;#39;s kid.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;28. Broncos: Ray Rice, RB, Rutgers -&lt;/strong&gt; Critics say he&amp;#39;s too small, but is any running back really too small?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;29. Bengals: Andre Fluellen, DT, Florida State -&lt;/strong&gt; The NFL now requires at least one Florida State defensive player to go in the first round every year.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;30. 49ers (via Colts): Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona -&lt;/strong&gt; I&amp;#39;m not thrilled with Cason&amp;#39;s performance at the 2008 combine.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;31. Saints: Colt Brennan, QB, Hawaii -&lt;/strong&gt; Undersized system quarterback. Reminds me a little of a former Purdue quarterback.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;32. Patriots: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas --&lt;/strong&gt; I&amp;#39;m assuming Asante Samuel plays for New England in &amp;#39;07 and then departs. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
