Hello all, the Dolphins fan is back to post his final mock draft. I did take some of your suggestions (I know you guys know Bronco football much more than I do) when doing this so hopefully you guys like how it turned out. Enjoy!!
First Round
1. Miami Dolphins: Chris Long, DE, Virginia
--Forget the smokescreens, Jake Long and Vernon Gholston in talks with the Dolphins about contracts? Nah, it doesn't matter to me because Chris Long is their guy. Chris Long is a Parcells-type linebacker without question. He has the size, the speed, and the heart to play OLB in Bill Parcells defense. I think this will either send Jason Taylor packing or Joey Porter in side, who knows what the Tuna has in mind.
2. St Louis Rams: Jake Long, OT, Michigan
--I had Glenn Dorsey here earlier, but I just don't see it happening anymore. Jake Long is the pick, the Rams offensive line is getting older and they'll need someone to replace Orlando Pace eventually. Adding Jake Long may have helped Stephen Jackson a little bit, if not a lot.
3. Atlanta Falcons: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
--I know, I know. The Falcons want Gholston. Wait no, they want Dorsey? It's all a smokescreen, Matt Ryan is the pick! The Falcons will build their franchise with a new head coach and he will bring in a new quarterback to lead this team in Ryan. When you think Atlanta you think Mike Vick, Matt Ryan will hope to change that.
4. Oakland Raiders: Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State
--Al Davis has fell in love with this workout warrior in Vernon Gholston. He's been compared to Chargers linebacker Shawn Merriman constantly and he'll hope to put up the same stats... Without the steroids. Oakland's defense just got a little nastier by adding Gholston.
5. Kansas City Chiefs: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
--Most expect the Chiefs to take an offensive tackle, but with Glenn Dorsey on the board, they say 'Forgettabout it!" Glenn Dorsey, without his injuries that I think are magnified a little too much, would be the best player on everyones' boards. The Chiefs brought back Jared Allen and now you don't have to worry about people running over them with Dorsey in the mix.
6. New York Jets: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
--As a Dolphins fan, this is probably something I don't want to see. McFadden is getting Adrian Peterson-hype and he goes to the goddamn Jets? McFadden will be employed in a two back system with Thomas Jones and they'll look to do a little thunder and lightning duo like you've seen in Dallas.
7. New England Patriots: Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
--Why do the Patriots get the 7th overall selection after they handled most of the NFL? The Chokeartists, er I mean Patriots, may have lost Asante Samuel but that won't phase them with the addition of Leodis McKelvin. I know some have Rodgers-Cromartie above McKelvin, but I'd have to disagree with them. The Pats will take the best cornerback in the draft.
8. Baltimore Ravens: Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
--The Ravens could go a number of ways with this selection from taking a cornerback, quarterback, or offensive tackle. They go with the athletic tackle in Ryan Clady. Clady will look to replace the rather old and injury prone Jonathan Ogden. Clady is looked at by scouts as a true left tackle in the NFL. The Ravens will hope they're right.
9. Cincinnati Bengals: Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
--Cincinnati was likely hoping they'd see Glenn Dorsey fall right into their laps, but that just ain't gonna happen. The Bengals defense has been awful, just awful. There's not a word to describe it actually and with Sedrick Ellis in the picture, the Bengals will look to not have to worry about getting run over every week.
10. New Orleans Saints: Keith Rivers, LB, USC
--The Saints have been a tricky selection to work with in the fact that half their fans want Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, but there is a reason why the fans aren't in charge. The Saints have spent too much money on cornerbacks and won't draft one in the first round. Instead they look to the best linebacker in the draft to pair up with Jonathan Vilma to send them back to the playoffs.
11. Buffalo Bills: Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB, Tennessee State
--The Buffalo Bills could use a wide receiver here, but there isn't a stand out number one guy that is worth taking right now. Instead they take the man that every fan covets in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Rodgers-Cromartie will look to replace shutdown cornerback Nate Clements in Buffalo and possibly live up to the expectations people have put on him due to sharing blood with All-Pro Antonio Cromartie.
12. Denver Broncos: Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
--The Broncos can't be comfortable with Ryan Harris and some other guy as their starting tackles so they look to bring in the athletic tackle in Chris Williams who will be a perfect fit in the Broncos blocking scheme. Jay Cutler knows this guy from college and I'm sure they'll get along better than that wide receiver, Brandon Marshall, that is if he overcomes his 'injury'.
13. Carolina Panthers: Branden Albert, OG, Virginia
--The Panthers will address their defensive end problems later by adding who? Branden Albert is who! Some people will think I'm crazy here, but I'd have to disagree. Albert will be put inside and leave Wharton staying at the tackle position. Heck, I bet Albert could play tackle himself. The Panthers will grab this stud who is rising on everyones' big board.
14. Chicago Bears: Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
--The Bears have had offensive woes for way too long and it's pretty sad. They have a great defense and special teams, it's just that offense that gets them nowhere. They grab Jeff Otah, who many believe belongs in the top ten. Otah will come to Chicago looking to replace one of the Bears aging tackles and maybe grab a steak dinner or two while he's at it. Let's just hope he doesn't eat Devin Hester...
15. Detroit Lions: Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
--Okay, insert your Matt Millen joke here because I'm not going to. We've heard it too often and although we all know that Millen is a moron, I think he smartens up and take Mendenhall. The Lions got rid of Kevin Jones and will need someone new to replace him and that man is Rashard Mendenhall. Now the only question is, when will Drew Stanton be given his chance and when are the Lions sending Roy Williams to Miami for a 4th round pick?
16. Arizona Cardinals: Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
--The Cardinals drafted Antrel Rolle a few years ago expecting him to be the shutdown corner for the next decade. Instead they send him to free safety so now they're back to square one. The Cardinals don't take a chance on Jonathan Stewart's injuries and go for Mike Jenkins. Jenkins is a player without doubt and I'm sure he'll make an impact in Arizona. The Jenkins and Hood duo will look to strike fear in offenses everywhere.
17. Minnesota Vikings: Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida
--The Vikings could go a number of ways here, but I think they'll go with Derrick Harvey, the defensive end out of Florida. The Vikings have faced problems with the defensive end position for a while now and it wouldn't surprise me if they actually traded for Jason Taylor. Either way, Derrick Harvey will look to insert himself into the starting defensive end position in Minnesota, which won't be too hard.
18. Houston Texans: Kenny Phillips, S, Miami
--The Texans were likely hoping for an offensive linemen to fall of them, but the ball didn't roll that way. Curome Cox just doesn't seem like a person I want as an everydown starter at free safety so with that in mind, the Texans draft Kenny Phillips out of Miami. Miami is well known for churning out quality safeties into the NFL. Let's just hope he'll turn out like Ed Reed and Sean Taylor in Houston.
19. Philadelphia Eagles: Limas Sweed, WR, Texas
--The Philadelphia Eagles can't be comfortable with Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown as their number one and two receivers. The Eagles need a number one guy and that guy is Limas Sweed. Sweed is rising on draft boards and can be Donovan McNabb's go-to-guy in 2008 and beyond. With Sweed in the picture, Brown can remain the number two receiver and you can slip Curtis into the slot. He's much more athletic than Wes Welker so I could see him succeeding in that role.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville
--The Buccaneers could go wide receiver here, but I don't see them passing on Brian Brohm. Jeff Garcia isn't getting any younger and Chris Simms has had more than enough chances. Garcia should have a year or two still in the tank and that'll let Brohm be his understudy for a little while. With Jeff Garcia serving as a mentor to Brohm, it should help Brohm's transition into the NFL.
21. Washington Redskins: Phillip Merling, DE, Clemson
--The Redskins could use a wide receiver, but Merling is just too good to pass up at this point. The Redskins don't really have much at defensive end other than Andre Carter and the aging Phillip Daniels. Merling will look to replace Daniels in the starting defensive end role in 2008 or 2009. The 'Skins defense is getting old as a whole and hopefully they will address this soon.
22. Dallas Cowboys: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
--The Cowboys have a few options here such as bringing in Devin Thomas, Aqib Talib, or Jonathan Stewart. Stewart is a value pick at this point and that's why the Cowboys will take him. Stewart has been flagged with some injuries and without them he would have went much earlier. The Cowboys will look to employ that two back system with Jonathan Stewart after Julius Jones signed with the Seahawks.
23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State
--The Steelers were really hoping that Branden Albert would fall to them to replace Al Faneca but with Albert's stock rising, that isn't going to happen. Instead the Steelers bring in another target for Ben Roethlisberger as Hines Ward isn't getting any younger and while Santonio Holmes is looking to be a great receiver, he hasn't shown to be that go-to-guy quite yet. Adding Thomas will just make that Steelers offense even more deadly.
24. Tennessee Titans: Desean Jackson, WR, California
--The Titans really need a wide receiver and I don't see them taking a defensive end yet. The Titans decide to go with Desean Jackson who will be able to open up the field for Vince Young, giving Young another target to work with. With the addition of Alge Crumpler, Young has his go-to-guy and bringing Desean Jackson will up the chance of a big play. Jackson will also be a major contributor to the Titans special teams as a returnman.
25. Seattle Seahawks: Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
--The Seattle Seahawks could go tight end, but I don't see Keller hitting the first round. Instead they settle for defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer. The Seahawks really only have Rocky Bernard as far as good defensive tackles go, the other guys are nothing to brag about. The Seahawks can place Balmer in the starting role opposite to Bernard and now they have one of the best front fours in the league with Bernard and Balmer in the middle as well as Kerney and Tapp on the outside.
26. Jacksonville Jaguars: Calais Campbell, DE, Miami
--The Jaguars could use a defensive tackle, but in reality they won't reach for one quite yet. Instead they grab the underachieving Calais Campbell. Campbell has all the skills in the world to be a successful defensive end for the Jaguars 4-3, but he just hasn't put it together like he should. Paul Spicer looks to solidify his role as the starting left end, but Hayward has been a disappointment as the team's right end. He'll look to replace Hayward in 2008 and beyond.
27. San Diego Chargers: Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas
--The Chargers could use a cornerback, but the depth is pretty deep and with Felix Jones dropping into their laps, it's pretty tough to pass him up. Jones is a very shifty and quick back that can complement LaDanian Tomlinson like Michael Turner did. I don't think Sproles would be a good number two option, so the Chargers look to bring a complement to Tomlinson whenever he needs to catch his breath.
28. Dallas Cowboys: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
--The Cowboys are pretty desperate for cornerbacks so they grab the best remaining cornerback on the board in Aqib Talib. The fact that Talib has run into issues over failing a drug test will scare away some, but definitely not Jerry Jones. Talib will look to replace the aging Anthony Henry and start opposite to Terrence Newman. At worst, he'll be the team's nickelback this year with the loss of Jacque Reeves.
29. San Francisco 49ers: Quentin Groves, DE, Auburn
--The 49ers lack a pass rushing outside linebacker in their defense and adding Groves should end that concern. Groves is simply a great athlete who ran his 40 in the 4.5 region, with those characteristics, I'm sure he can make an impact. The 49ers have a lot of names on their defense right now, they just need to put it together and Groves should be able to help them do that.
30. Green Bay Packers: Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
--The Packers have a top notch cornerback tandem with Al Harris and Charles Woodson, but they aren't getting any younger. The Pack will look towards the future for their cornerback position by selecting Antoine Cason. Cason won't be an instant starter, but he'll be starting soon enough when either Woodson or Harris begins to decline. Well, I guess we said that about Aaron Rodgers too, but we had to wait until Favre retired, even after his interception total was mind boggling in 2006.
31. New England Patriots (Forfeited)
--Sorry Patsies, Roger Goddell 'pities the fool' who tries to pull a fast one with him in charge. I'm pretty sure Bill Bellicheat should spend that #31 overall salary on a new sweatshirt or something... Or breast reduction. Did I just go there? Yeah... I did.
32. New York Giants: Dan Connor, LB, Penn State
--The Giants lost a couple key players on defense and they'll be replacing them in the draft. They lost the likes of Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor on defense and they'll replace them with the addition of the second rated linebacker in this year's draft in Dan Connor. Connor will likely play outside linebacker in the Giants nasty 4-3 defense. The Giants will look to return to the Super Bowl again next year, but it'll be yet another test for 'That Other Manning Kid'.
(I will make another post after this, being my entire mock is too long character-wise)

1. Miami Dolphins: Chris Long, DE, Virginia
--Forget the smokescreens, Jake Long and Vernon Gholston in talks with the Dolphins about contracts? Nah, it doesn't matter to me because Chris Long is their guy.
