2006 NFL Mock Draft

[mcdonoghLAX02]

I know that there was a thread on this a couple of months ago but i feel that this is an appropriate time for a new mock draft discussion thread
this is what i think will happen on draftday
1. Houston- Reggie Bush. This is a obvious choice for the texans, but i have heard rumors lately that they are considering DE mario williams
2. Saints- Mario Williams. If the texans select mario williams for some reason (reggie bush injury or refusal to play for them) than they might go with reggie, ferguson, or aj hawk.
3. Titans- Vince Young. They could go either way with young or lienart but i think they will go with young because lienart has already made a verbal commitment to the Jets
4. New York Jets- Matt Lienart. Has already made a commitment to the Jets
5. Green Bay- AJ Hawk. If the packers sigh lavar arrington, then these two would be a dangerous set of linebackers
6. 49er's- Vernon Davis. Serious problems with Eric Johnson
7. Oakland- Jay Cutler. They need a QB to play in the 2007 season after they will likely get rid of Aaron Brooks
8. Buffalo- D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Hands down the best o-lineman in the draft
9. Detriot- Michael Huff. Him and Dre Bly will work good together
10. Arizona- Winston Justice. Terrible offensive line in arizona and need someone desperatly
11. St. Louis- Jimmy Williams
12. Cleveland- Chad Greenway. Need someone on defence, Haloti Ngata is also a possibility
13. Baltimore- Haloti Ngata. The Ravens are definitly going with a lineman whether its offensive or defensive. If Clevland selects Ngata, then they would go with Brodrick Bunkley
14. Philidelphia- Santonio Holmes. Need a good WR to replace TO's spot
15. Denver- Chad Jackson. Possible succesor to Rod Smith
16. Miami- Dante Whitner. Need someone for their secondary.
17. Vikings- Deangelo Williams- Theyve picked up Chester Taylor but hes not gonna be a pro- bowl running back like the vikings need

Im not going to do the whole first round .

[Canada_Lax]

y will oakland likely get rid of arron brookes???? they just singed him a few months ago??!!!

[NY Lax 4]

5. Green Bay- AJ Hawk. If the packers sigh lavar arrington, then these two would be a dangerous set of linebackers
My Giants got Mr. Arrington.

[mcdonoghLAX02]

y will oakland likely get rid of arron brookes???? they just singed him a few months ago??!!!
i mean Aaron Brooks isnt going to be the raiders future qb. he will most likely start all of this season but the raiders will eventually need someone to replace him.

[xmangs3]

and the unproven jay cutler is just the man? they won't draft cutler even if hes available.

[mcdonoghLAX02]

and the unproven jay cutler is just the man? they won't draft cutler even if hes available.
good point but thier gonna have to take a chance at some qb... of course they will draft vince young if he's available. but if hes not i think jay cutler will be just fine he did well at the combine and they probably will take a year off to get his used to the pros and to polish his fundemantal skills a bit more but... yeah i think he's the guy the raiders need

[jaw22]

My Giants got Mr. Arrington.

Meaning GB needs Hawk even more. The Packers could have the first 10 picks in the draft and still wouldn't manage a winning record. Aaron Rodgers is an inferior QB and Favre is not coming back.

Next year's top five (IMO)
1. Bears
2. Giants
3. Steelers
4. Dolphins
5. Seahawks

[ghs/wylax]

the jets shouldnt take leinart. THey'd be better off with ferguson. This might be the year pennigton makes a true comeback, and if not they have patrick ramsey who's perfectly capable. Maybe ferguson can provide the protection pennington needs. Anyway Leinarts commitment doesn't mean anything, If the titans want him they can take him. Personally I say the texans trade down a few and get ferguson, they have a good running back, just no o-line to show for it.

[NY Lax 4]

If Eli settles down, we could easily be the best team in the NFL.

thats a possibility if lienart gets drafted by the titans (i forgot that they had Norm Chow) ferguson will most likely go to the jets

[ghs/wylax]

thats a possibility if lienart gets drafted by the titans (i forgot that they had Norm Chow) ferguson will most likely go to the jets
the titans connections to both young and leinart. McNair knew Young from a camp he taught at or something, and norm chow/leinart USc yeah. But the titans will definetly take leinart over young, not to mention McNair and the titans are on the edge right now.

[LaxGoalie28]

Mcnair is going to end up at the ravens i heard.
For the jets i would like to see them get leinart becasue he is a big name player, but if they couldnt pick him up it they still have the 29th pick. Which you could still get a very good player at.

[Hookem]

Chad Jackson will go ahead of Holmes

[CavsDefense]

That's one of the worst mock drafts I've seen. Where the hell did you hear that Leinart made a commitment to the Jets? I guess Houston negotiating deals with both Reggie Bush and Mario Williams means they've both commited to the Texans?

Your knowledge is obviously limited..
5. Green Bay- AJ Hawk. If the packers sigh lavar arrington, then these two would be a dangerous set of linebackers
Arrington agreed to terms with the Giants THREE DAYS AGO.

Also, if you knew anything about what teams tendencies are in the draft, you would know that the Eagles are going to take a Defensive Tackle, or and Offensive Lineman. They draft from the lines up.

Don't even get me started on your 'reasoning' as to why each player is going where you say they are. Christ.

good to see my fins getting some respect imagine if we get ricky back wow we do have some problems in the secondary and our O line but we should adress thoes problems in the draft.

[mcdonoghLAX02]

That's one of the worst mock drafts I've seen.
how? the only coments u made about the actual draft were the eagles drafting a wr... and why wouldnt they draft a lineman at this point in the draft, by then all of the good DT's are gone the best team the eagles have had in years was when mcnabb had a ligitament wr to throw too and Chad Jackson or Santonio Holmes would be perfect for mcnabb

[Longpole5435]

mcdonoghLAX02, you should just leave these things to people who know what they are talking about. Basically, my mom could do a better mock draft than that. Please spare us of your ignorance of the issues in the NFL.

[mcdonoghLAX02]

alright w.e. i started this thread to have a disussion/argument about the draft and somehow me being the only person to actually submit their opinoin about the draft makes me now nothing about football

[Longpole5435]

1. Houston- Reggie Bush. This is a obvious choice for the texans, but i have heard rumors lately that they are considering DE mario williams

Its Reggie Bush without a question, unless they trade out of the spot which is highly unlikely. Mario Williams is not good enough to go 1st overall.

2. Saints- Mario Williams. If the texans select mario williams for some reason (reggie bush injury or refusal to play for them) than they might go with reggie, ferguson, or aj hawk.
I know everyone has been saying the Saints will draft Williams, but is just doesn't make sense. Granted, it may happen, but the Saints already have accomplished DE's in Charles Grant and Will Smith. They drafted Smith very recently in the first round and got rid of Darren Howard just so he could play more. Translation: It would be illogical for the Saints to draft Williams. They should trade down looking for either their future QB (Brees did serious damage to his shoulder, worse than Chad Pennington's), a DT (Jonothan Sullivan has NOT panned out), or secondary help.

3. Titans- Vince Young. They could go either way with young or lienart but i think they will go with young because lienart has already made a verbal commitment to the Jets
If we go on your assumption the Titans will take a QB, it will be Lienhart and not Young. Norm Chow coached Lienhart at USC and will be partial to his selection. Also, Young is not NFL ready, Lienhart is much closer to being ready to play.

But in any case, the chances of the Titans drafting a QB are not certain. They still have Steve McNair, and are prepared to use Billy Volek as he has shown promise in the past. A OT like D'Brickshaw Ferguson would make sense.

Theres a proper analysis of the first three picks. There are numerous other problems with your analysis that I have not taken the time to point out, but will if you continue to make idiotic posts defending this travesty of a mock draft.

[Longpole5435]

alright w.e. i started this thread to have a disussion/argument about the draft and somehow me being the only person to actually submit their opinoin about the draft makes me now nothing about football

You should read what I just posted then.

[CavsDefense]

...this travesty of a mock draft.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you very much Mr. Longpole

[dlo6215]

give the guy a break, no1 else posted a draft. that being said, yes this is not a great mock draft

[Longpole5435]

give the guy a break, no1 else posted a draft. that being said, yes this is not a great mock draft

Well, I was hoping for something insightful, something backed up by more than just brief, innacurrate statements. At least make logical sense and know what your talking about.

[ColtsLax]

the jtes and titans should avoid a QB. taking a high QB is a HUGE gamble. Look at this past playoffs. Look at the QB's. You run the risk of having a huge bust of a QB if you draft a skilled position high. Teams need linemen. Think of the texans. if David carr played for the steelers of Seahwaks, he would be awesome, but he has no line, so he gets pounded.


Giants NEEEED to draft a secondary.

Agreed, QB's are risky gambles. Most turn out OK, but only very few are at that elite level.

The Giants can probably hold off if no one is availible early for DB's, because the yhave signed many FA's, and they drafted Corey Webster last year who will progress. But it is certainly an area of need, and if the right player landed in their lap, they should jump on it right away. The yjust don't want to reach for a need and ignore value, as that spells almost certain doom historically in the draft.

[CavsDefense]

Giants are alright in the DB department, I think. They signed Sam Madison in FA and have Webster coming back. They're young when it comes to Defense as a whole.

[dlo6215]

the giants also signed will demps from the ravens

[Longpole5435]

the giants also signed will demps from the ravens
He's a run support guy, not a great cover man, but a good addition none the less.

[RgLax]

The Giants have corners for now but they will probably draft another corner to comlement corey webster for the future.
Also they need a DT bad, Kendrick Clancy really helped Strahan and Unimoreya have such a good season by clogging up the middle but nows hes off to the cardinals

thats what i was asking for. im not trying to fight with anybody, im just trying to see what you guys think will happen in the first round and discuss it.. and your right, i did pick some selections that wouldnt be on a sports anylist's list, but at least entitle me to my own opinion on it.

[SwRLaX10D]

4. New York Jets- Matt Lienart. Has already made a commitment to the Jets
Trust me, I'm no Jet fan, but I know that they'll just mess up the draft and pick D'Brickishaw Fergesun 'cause they need a better O-line....and Young will not be that far up on the draft (Lienart will be taken by the Titans, leaving the Jets with Ferguson)

as for Big Blue, I'm hoping they draft that wide reciever Siniorce Moss from Miami...if he is still on the board

[RgLax]

ya he'd be awesome with burress

[Jmalins23]

not saying this has any chance at happenign but there was an article in the boston globe today saying that reggie bush will loose his draft eligability cause he excepted like special treatment or something, like somone bought his family a 750,000 dollar house... but it wont happen

[staaLAX3]

you have Philly gettin Santonio Holmes?, i hope you're right, we need that right now. Not a bad draft board, but i think deangelo williams will go earlier than 17

[mcdonoghLAX02]

i think deangelo williams will go earlier than 17
yea i know what your saying, such a good talent falling that late. The only other possibilities i see are Cleveland and Denver. I can see Cleveland picking him up because they have hardly any talent on their offence besides Braylon Edwards.

[Longpole5435]

True that. But mark my words, if Maroney (Not Williams) gets picked by the Broncos, he will rush for over 2000 yards in the next 4 or 5 years. he is the perfect fit for their offensive system.

is he that fast underclassman from minnosota(sp?) and yeah denver is extremely good at producing very good RBs

[RgLax]

Young is not going to the titans and i dont think that he will even be drafted in th top ten anymore

[Longpole5435]

Young is not going to the titans and i dont think that he will even be drafted in th top ten anymore
Younbg's stock is certainly hurting, but to say it is certain he will fall out of the top tne is nonsense. Its not a sure thing, but its not out of the question.

[ghs/wylax]

I'm starting to wonder about where young and cutler will go. I'd say leinart is a lock at 3, but afterwards...at number 7 i dont know if oakland will draft a quarterback. I think they'll give brooks a year to show what hes got. I think Young may go at number 10 to arizona, a team who was last in rushing, will now have vince young and edgerarin james. If the jets draft a qb, there stupid.

I don't think Lienhart is a lock at 3. True, he is sure to appeal to the Titans, but he is only the second best QB in this draft. Cutler best fits the mold of an ideal pro quarterback. Lienhart may be better initially, but Cutler's physical tools plus his intangibles make him the better long term prospect.

yes, but cutler has a better chance of being the next ryan leaf, as he is not a proven winner. Leinart is the safer pick, and already good enough. Sure Leinart could be a bust, but probably not. I wish the texans would draft ferguson so people would stop bashing David Carr, he's actually pretty good.

Cutler is NOT Ryan Leaf, he does not have the maturity issues that plagued Leaf. I agree Lienhart is the safest pick, but I don't think he will be the best in the long run. That will be Cutler, Not Lienhart or Young. Why would the Texans draft Ferguson and pass up Bush? Reggie Bush is HOF bound, his skill set is simply that great.

[RgLax]

ya Bush is a 99 percent lock to go to the texans even though ferguson would help them out a lot

[ghs/wylax]

the texans have a good runner in dominac davis. no he's not bush, but he's good enough. The texans could compete if they had a decent o-line. in terms of helping the team OVERALL, drafting bush is useless.

[ghs/wylax]

(sorry to double post) HOF bound? Yeah maybe, but don't forget the NFL is PHYSICAL. At USC it was lendale white who got the power yards. Yes Bush is very strong, but he needs to put on some weight.

[killman3680]

I disagree, Bush is an amazing RB, one of the best to come out of college in along time. Maybe you don't remember the 500 yard games, or the dazzling touchdowns. He is a phenomenal running back, and is an easily descided first pick for the Texans.

[RgLax]

but the texans have a young solid RB and they led the leagues in sacks against last year which is why D'Brickshaw(love that name) would help them more

[killman3680]

Bush is so good, that after he proves himself amazing in his first season, the Texans will have any player they desire.

[lax888]

the texans should trade down to like the 3-5 pick and draft D'brickshaw(i love that name too) Plus then for that 1st overall pick they could get alot more help because they have tons of holes to fill
and D'brickshaw would let Carr show his true potential. He's a pretty good quarterback. He completes around 50-60% of his passes with no real legit wr (maybe andre johnson) and he gets sacked like crazy bust still never gets injured. BUt again this is IMO and I doubt that they would really do that because Bush is a pretty much a lock at this point

[Dan]

Hey, um, I don't know much about the NFL. Basically I'm wondering what people think about the Pats. I am a New England kid, born and raised, after all. What do they need? Where are they weak? I love Tom Brady and basically the whole team. But I don't know enough about NFL teams to make an opinion. The only teams I know well are BYU and the U of U, actually, and I hate the U of U.

[Aussie_kid]

favre came back to me packers, (old news) we will get Hawk or maybe Williams. Our D should be better than last year

you know...thats actually a great idea! I mean, it all depends on who they trade with, but its pretty smart. Houston has a good wide reciever group, Carr is a good QB but has never had that great of an O-Line to protect him, Davis can still carry the ball (Texans should look at Lendale White if he is still available by the second round), so they should get Ferguson to build up their line

[mcdonoghLAX02]

I was watching the wizards-cleveland game and a sportscenter update came on and said texans have already signed (come to an agreement is what was said) Mario Williams. THIS IS HUGE im positve this dramatically changes everyones mock draft

[mcdonoghLAX02]

where do u guys think reggie will go?
i think the jets

[unta8]

Your an idiot. He's going to the texans.

no read what i posted above. thats my fault i should have made them on the same post
http://espn.go.com/ theres some proof if u want it

[unta8]

I guarantee he is picked at #1. Mark my words, quote me, whatever. He is picked at #1 by the Texans, he might be traded down for a #1 and a #3 or something by the Saints.

[DukeLax368]

I'm in utter shock after hearing several sources saying Mario Williams signed with the Texans. I am so pissed off right now.

[mcdonoghLAX02]

i dont think your understanding this. The texans just signed Mario Williams today, making him the number one pick overall. It has already been set in stone.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft06/news/story?id=2426003

[unta8]

What the f? Is that even legally possible?

[auburnfan2015]

I guess so, that might be the biggest mistake ever. Reggie Bush could do so many things for that team.

[Lax101]

Very shocking deal. Bush has been marked the #1 pick in the draft since the middle of the 2005-2006 college football season.

The key thing here is that Williams was able to sign a deal, something Bush and his agent could not do. It's happened in many occassions where a player holds out after being a top pick, forcing the team to trade him off for considerably less stock (see Elway among others). The last time the Texas had the #1 pick, they also signed David Carr before the draft.

It's actually quite common to get a deal done before the draft if you have the top pick. This was an issue when it came to the Eli Manning draft a few years ago, where when San Diego tried signing him, he not only refused, but said he'd hold out. Although Bush clearly wasn't as hostile as Manning or Elway, the Texans did not want to take any chances. Call em cheap, call em wusses, but it's done. Many critics have touted Williams a much better player anyway-someone you can build your defense around. The guy's had an astronomical rise in the draft, from a possible top 10 pick to now a sure fire 1.

Apparently, the Saints will DEFINITELY take Bush if the Texans don't take him...or will they? They have Deuce McAllister and just signed Michael Bennet-do they really need another running back? The Saints apparently LOVE AJ Hawk, so could they trade down to get him?

I think they'll mostly be looking for cornerbacks. Big need for them. They signed Safety Tebucky Jones a few weeks ago but I think his main objective will be on special teams.

[Lax101]

I think they'll mostly be looking for cornerbacks. Big need for them. They signed Safety Tebucky Jones a few weeks ago but I think his main objective will be on special teams.
They have a LOT of needs. A lot of experts have New England picking a RB to heir Corey Dillon, others picking a stud linebacker, an athletic cornerback, and the new rumor is that they're going to trade up. They have about 13 picks in this draft, putting them in prime position to move up a few picks. Personally, I'm excited about the idea of them drafting DeAngelo Williams, and they're also in the mix to trade picks for Javon Walker.

[RgLax]

Wow, thats all i have to say wow

[Sack Attack]

Lax101 - Elway was not passed over because of contract disputes, he refused to play for Baltimore (much like Eli Manning and San Diego) and was traded to Denver. The rest is history.

[LaxGoalie28]

The saints have already said they are going to draft bush and are not looking to move down, but would like to see the offers.

[Canada_Lax]

williams was first, bush was second, and ferguson was third. cant wait for the raiders pick

[killman3680]

Wow, so far this has been a crazy draft. Leinart being drafted 10th??????

[Canada_Lax]

my raiders got michael ruff, im so excited. he is a great safety

[LaxGoalie28]

im pissed, we shoulc have got leinart not ferguson. Hopefully leinart doesnt turn into the next marino becasue the jets also passed up marino for ken o'brein, WHO!

Ah...you and EVERY Jets fan, buddy.

Welcome to the world of Eric Mangini, mini Belichick. Don't expect to draft a big money position player or mortgage your future for a stud for the next 5-10 years or so. The truth is that Ferguson is a MUCH safer pick. Yeah, he's boring because he's an offensive lineman and he's simply not as explosive as Leinart-but really, how often do 1st round QB's live up to their hype? We're still waiting on Carr, and we've given up on Couch, Leaf, Smith, among others. Ferguson is a legitimate player who WILL anchor your offensive line for the next decade. For now, Pennington can last another year so the whole QB hunt can wait. Mangini is a smart player who drafts smart, athletic players who can fit into a system and work as a team.

Leinart has too many knocks against him. Terrible athlete, slow, weak arm, poor overall strength. Yeah, he's a smart kid, but so is every Florida Gator QB under Spurrier, and more recently, Ken Dorsey. He's a lot like Dorsey, actually. Smart guy, great instincts for the game, and played on an extremely good team in a system bent on winning.

But then again, the other spectrum of Leinart would be a Tom Brady like player. However, when you don't have the basic tools to succeed (like a strong arm), it's going to bang you down the draft.

The problem with most Jets fans is that you always want a big money player and whenever you go for a safer pick, it's hell. Wake up-you can't draft a Broadway Joe every year. You just gotta live with it-Do you think Pats fans were all happy when they drafted Richard Seymour with the 6th pick in the draft, when they had so much wide receiver and running back talent that year? But look, it ended up being the right pick. In fact, every Patriots draft, it's about 7 rounds of absolute no-name players, but every single one ends up being a great product of Belichick's system.

[RgLax]

Buffalo had the worst pick hands down, then the ravens hagati is overrated

[LaxGoalie28]

IM crossing my fingers for deanglo williams right now.

[RgLax]

Giants got sinorice moss YES!

[dtl42]

Buffalo had the worst pick hands down, then the ravens hagati is overrated


wow the ravens draft isnt that overrated so be quiet and bring the evo tommorow

[RgLax]

yes that guy is lazy and is only a first and second down guy
go watch espn

[Frndlefire]

favre came back to me packers, (old news) we will get Hawk or maybe Williams. Our D should be better than last year
You're Australian and you like the packers...that is tight. You get a high five.

[Bagattaway20]

Mario Williams gets selected first overall. Upset? TOTAL!!!! Reggie Bush will be a franchise player. Mario Williams will be one of those hall of famers nobody knows about

im a giants fan and i think they made 1 good and 1 bad trade. the good being moving up to get moss. the bad being tradin down to get a DE, the teams stronget position. osi and strahan lead the league for teammate sacks and justin tuck has shown great potential w/ his playing time, and on top of that we got lavar as a pass rushing OLB. and kiwanuka(sp?) has had some slight injury problems and was b****ed by furgeson during sr bowl practices. any1 agree?

Packers got Hawk and some other LB, along with a Centre and a Reciever, umm we gave away Walker (who was having a cry), to Denver for another a second round pick...
i reckon Denver had a preety good draft, b/c the trade and Cutler, as did Arizona getting Leinart, now they (arizona) have got 2 good QB's, a Good RB, and one of the most potent WR combo's in the NFL

I think most people are surprised Denver traded up for Cutler since Plummer had a great season last year. Im not so surprised, Plummer has been unreliable in the past and if they liked Cutler then bring him in and be patient with him.
Steelers have done alright, addressed three out of four needs (WR, FS, PR), so Im pretty happy. Cards got a steal, and best of luck to them, if they could only consistently beat the 49ers like everyone else they would be a playoff team.
Im liking the moves by the Pats and Colts on RB's, Maroney and Addai will be handy.

Oh yeah, and the Bush debate? Well i was shocked at first with the Texans choice since I would have thought they'd have taken Ferguson and finally given Carr the cover he needs to avoid being dead by 30. However, they took two huge tackles in the third, a productive LB in the second and Williams should be a pro-bowl end. All in all it might just work out for them, plus it saves them money. Also, its not like Bush doesnt have criticisms (not a 30 carry back, not too strong through the middle) but he should still be a nightmare for other NFC teams.
