He just tripled his readership with the link too

LOL, and don't think it isn't appreciated. We only average 2300 hits per day. (http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s37catscratchreader)

I understand you might not want a link to a blog here, and it's all good. I appreciate the comments from the OP, and have the third installment in that series done. It's pretty bleah, but I'm happy with the accompanying spreadsheet. I would post it here, but you can't put XLS files in attachments on this board.

according to your final installment, i'm not too far off on my lil mock draft for us.

I only went to the 4th round because anything beyond that is even more impossible to predict.

what i have us doing is

2nd. Damian Williams..USC W.R

3RD. Arthur Jones...Syracuse D.T

4TH John Skelton....Fordham Q.B

One thing you mention often is the need for a Defensive End. I just dont see one in this draft whos really going to be much of an uprgade over Everette Brown(essentially this years first round pick) in this draft, especially in the 2nd round and beyond.

I just think that we really have only three decent Ends on the roster now in Brayton, Brown, and Johnson. We need four for our rotation, and if we can get an Al Wallace type our line shouldn't suffer much at all.

And it's really my own opinion, which admittedly doesn't count for much. :)

How did you like the spreadsheet? I encourage you to adjust the players the way you see fit, I think it really helps you to mock when you can see it all visually like that.

I'm hoping that the theory of good WRs falling actually happens. If Tate makes it out of the first round we need to do something to trade up and get him. I think his ability is far and away better than either Demaryus Thomas or Damian Williams.

speaking of opinions that don't count for much...

My opinion is that of that we are not far from being a damn good team. alot of strong pieces in place that just need some complients such as wide reciever. I really want 2 starters out of this draft to help us get there. Somebody to pair with Smitty and a D.T. to line up next to Leonard.

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
