Starting Five: San Diego, Dallas, San Fran, Green Bay, New England & NYG

Even though the Giants won the Super Bowl, I have some areas of need. Having said that, I can't pass up a player who is a top 15 on my board, just sitting there for me at 31. The Giants select, from the University of Florida, Defensive End Derrick Harvey.

With the 30th pick in the 2008 Arrowhead Addict Readers Mock Draft the Green Bay Packers select Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie from Tennessee State University.Both Al Harris and Charles Woodson are getting up there in age so the Pack will be looking to take a player capable of replacing them if one or the other goes down with an injury. RC has tremendous man-to-man cover skills and is able to make plays when the ball is in the air, so he'll fit in nicely in Green Bay.

We might have to look into some future rounds. Loving this so far.

Wasting no time, San Fran takes DT/DE Kentawan Balmer out of North Carolina.  Bryant Young is no spring chicken.  With good size, he is reminding scouts of a Adam Caricker that can play a 3-4 DE or a 4-3 DT.  Now with Willis and Balmer their middle should be shored up.  The 49ers are  hoping for more Julius Peppers and less Ryan Sims!

With the 28th pick the Dallas Cowboys select Gosder Cherilus OT out of BC.  This pick was made because of the potential loss of Flozell Adams.  I thought very hard about Dr. C or Kentwan Balmer here, but thought that Cherilus was the right pick.

Yes, that was Groves.

And Damion McIntosh and Sippio are cousins of Bowe.

Hey, aren't Sippio and Bowe cousins too?

DRC+Antonio=universe explodes?

Groves is one of those guys who is a good pick up late first/early second.  I'm glad a team that runs the 3-4 picked him up.  He's quite the rusher off the edge.  Wasn't it Groves who destroyed K-State's left tackle early in the season.

The Rams say @$$#@ to the Groves pick because he was supposed to fall to them in the 2nd round

I thought about DRC - but then thought about how much the Bolts love to blitz...and blitz...and blitz.  Groves could line up anywhere and be a threat to rush the passer.

Groves is arguably the best DE still on the board but I think the Chargers biggest defensive need is on the inside, where they need a nose tackle and safety.  Unfortunately, there's no NTs or SS/FS still on the board worthy of a 1st round pick.  The Bolts also need CB help, so I personally would have gone for DRC at this point.  Still, Groves is not a bad pick in terms of adding youth and depth.

Sorry for the delay - I will take  Quentin Groves, DE/OLB from Auburn

I second the motion for additional rounds.

When do we start the poll?

Heh, I thought this mock draft was pretty solid except the blatant homerism.

That's because they forfeiteed it in Spygate.

hey you didnt give me New Englands second first round pick...

bannyc9, you got it!

if no one has taken it, I will pick for San Fran

after selecting MU and Kansas palyers in the first round... I dont think your knowledge will hurt you corn.

let me guess, Ryan is a fireman who... doesnt get off work till wed. at noon...hahahahaha

I don't feel like I know enough about college football to go beyond the first round, unless I were to have some time to research.

I want a three round mock... we desperately need the fix

Adam: Any decision on doing more rounds or staying with a one round mock?

and for the record I am drafting for New Englands' second first round pick.... :)

no problem... thought that, that might have been the reason...

Thanks for clarifying that, Beard. Guess I just assumed poeple would figure that out :) Maybe I assume too much...

ryan if you were waiting on me...Adam or Zach have placed the Jags pick , for me on the mock draft board...so it is you on the clock...
