AA's Pre-Super Bowl Mock

Team	1st Round
	1. Miami Dolphins – DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU Nothing’s changed — the Phins take the best player on the board.
	2. St. Louis Rams – OT Jake Long, Michigan The Lambs desperately need a LT to keep Action Jackson and Marc Bulger healthy.
	*3. Atlanta Falcons – RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas** The Falcons need a superstar that’s a stand up guy to help fill the Vick void and restore the Birds’ dirty image. Run DMC fits the bill.
	*4. Oakland Raiders – DE Chris Long, Virginia** The Raiders need some more brawn on that defensive line, so who better than Howie’s son.
	5. Kansas City Chiefs – OT Ryan Clady, Boise State* Chiefs fans get there wish, and the Chiefs select the tackle they believe has the most upside of any in the entire draft. Let’s all hope and pray that big Clady can fill the humongous shoes that Willie Roaf left empty.
	6. New York Jets – DE/OLB Vernon Gholston, Ohio State I think the Jets go with what they feel is the best defensive player on the board here in Gholston.
	7. New England Patriots (From 49ers) – LB Keith Rivers, USC Point blank — the Pats’ backers are older than dirt. Time to reload with this “luxury pick.” Trojans don’t flop often either.
	8. Baltimore Ravens – QB Matt Ryan, Boston College Until these quarterbacks really show us something, this as high as we can put the QB currently considered the best of this mediocre bunch.
	9. Cincinnati Bengals – DT Sedrick Ellis, USC It is downright criminal for the Bungles to get a superstar DT right here, but they do. Ellis is a straight beast.
	10. New Orleans Saints – CB Mike Jenkins, South Florida The only Big Easy as far as the Saints were concerned in ‘07 was the team’s piss-poor secondary.
	11. Buffalo Bills – WR Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma
	12. Denver Broncos – OT Sam Baker, USC
	13. Carolina Panthers – FS Kenny Phillips, Miami
	14. Chicago Bears – QB Andre’ Woodson, Kentucky
	15. Detroit Lions – OT Jeff Otah, Pittsburgh
	16. Arizona Cardinals – RB Jonathan Stewart, Oregon
	17. Minnesota Vikings – QB Brian Brohm, Louisville
	18. Houston Texans – RB Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois
	19. Philadelphia Eagles – OT Gosder Cherilus, Boston College
	20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – CB Leodis McKelvin, Troy
	21. Washington Redskins – DE Derrick Harvey, Florida
	22. Dallas Cowboys (From Browns) – RB Felix Jones, Arkansas
	23. Pittsburgh Steelers – CB Aqib Talib, Kansas
	24. Tennessee Titans – WR DeSean Jackson, Oregon
	25. Seattle Seahawks – OT Chris Williams, Vanderbil
	26. Jacksonville Jaguars – DE Calais Campbell, Miami
	27. San Diego Chargers – DT Kentwan Balmer, UNC
	28. Dallas Cowboys – CB/S Reggie Smith, Oklahoma
	29. San Francisco 49ers (From Colts) - WR Limas Sweed, Texas
	30. Green Bay Packers – CB Antoine Cason, Arizona
	31. New York Giants – LB Dan Conner, Penn State
	FORFEITED

2nd Round:

32. Miami Dolphins – WR Mario Manningham, Michigan

33. St. Louis Rams – DE Phillip Merling, Clemson

34. Kansas City Chiefs - G Chilo Rachal, USC

Chilo will step in and start at guard immediately. He’s played against top competition his whole career, and he’s ready for the big time at this point.(I also considered CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, TSU)

In this league that is now filled with 2-back systems, Dallas has one of the best one in Marion the Barbarian, and Julius Jones. I just heard on NFL Total Access last night that Dallas, aka Jerry Jones, is trying to work with Miami to make a deal for the number one pick in the draft, so he can get McFadden. He’s going to offer both his number 1 draft picks, AND Marion Barber. Jesus Christ, if he offers that the Dolphins would be STUPID not to take that, they’d have 2 awesome backs in Ronnie Brown and Marion Barber, and 2 picks in the first round to start building this team around their running backs. Each of those guys has enough gas in the tank for AT LEAST 5-6 more years, and they’d be able to last even longer if they stay in a 2-back system. Or, they could trade either of them (pro bowl caliber guys) for another first round pick, and have 3 chances to make major immediate upgrades on their team. Right now the Dolphins, if this trade is made, look like they are in a great position to get things done.
