Here is our second take on the upcoming NFL Draft, and this time we’ve included the second round and podcast breakdowns of each of our Chiefs’ picks. Enjoy…
ROUND ONE
1. (Adam) – WR Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech
Never has a man been more smitten with the deep ball than Raiders owner Al Davis. He likes Russell, but it’s become obvious that he covets Johnson. He drafts the 6’5″ phenom banking on the thought that he can still bring in either Josh McCown or Daunte Culpepper to play QB.
2. (Zach) – QB JaMarcus Russell, Louisiana State
The Lions have a ton of options here. They might try to trade down but with Johnson off the board they may have lost a trading partner in the Bucs. I think the Lions will stay put and take Russell — a QB whose arm is a great fit for offensive coordinator Mike Martz’s pass-happy offense. Lets just hope that GM Mat Millen doesn’t blow yet another first-round pick.
3. (Adam) – RB Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma
If GM Phil Savage passes up Peterson he should get mauled by a savage bunch of Dog Pound members. Peterson is rising and for good reason. He is easily the best running back prospect to come along in years. The only concerns are his durability and tall running style. Still, his combination of speed, size and power is too dynamic to pass on here. Recently signed RB Jamal Lewis’ contract is only for one year, so that isn’t even an issue.
4. (Zach) – OT Joe Thomas, Wisconsin
Not landing Calvin Johnson, who Jon Gruden definitely has a man-crush on, would be a nightmare for the Bucs. I look for them to try and trade out of this spot because they can get a player they like later in the first, plus an extra pick for their troubles.
5. (Adam) – DT Amobi Okoye, Louisville
The soon-to-be youngest player in the NFL continues to climb. Okoye’s combination of intelligence, size and speed, paired with his nonstop motor, could allow him to go off the board far, far earlier than we thought merely weeks ago.
6. (Zach) – DE Gaines Adams, Clemson
This is great news for the Redskins fans over at HailRedskins.com. Not only do they land the pass rusher their ‘Skins desperately need, it happens to be the best one in this draft class. Adams’ presence will be felt immediately as he harasses guys named Manning, McNabb and Romo all season long.
7. (Adam) – QB Brady Quinn, Notre Dame
Tarvaris Jackson. Enough said. Vikes fans who question Quinn’s ability to win big games can’t possibly feel more comfortable with the ball in Jackson’s hands. Irish head coach Charlie Weiss has helped turn Quinn into a winner. I’m not saying Quinn is the next Tom Brady, but I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see Quinn develop into a Pro Bowl-caliber player.
8. (Zach) – S LaRon Landry, Louisiana State
The Falcons secondary needs some serious help, and Landry will give the struggling unit an immediate boost. Landry possesses blazing speed and knocked more than a few players woozy (just ask Brodie Croyle) during his days as a Tiger. He has all the intangibles to become a perennial All-Pro safety.
9. (Adam) – CB Leon Hall, Michigan
I just don’t like Levi Brown. I can’t see him becoming a dominate offensive lineman, and that’s exactly what teams expect when they pick one in the top 10. The secondary is possibly in worse shape than the O-line anyway. Hall, possibly the premier corner in this class, is a safe pick here for GM Randy Mueller and new head coach Cam Cameron.
10. (Zach) – OT Levi Brown, Penn State
One reason David Carr is no longer around is because he got sacked more than any other QB in the league during his time with the Texans. They need to keep QB Matt Schaub on his feet if they want him to be successful. Although my brother isn’t a big fan of Brown, I think he’s nearly as good as Thomas. With the additions of both Brown and Schaub, not to mention Ahman Green, I wouldn’t be shocked if Andre Johnson led the league in several receiving categories next season.
