[Mr Dio]

Anyone have it & can post it? :lol

He actually said he based it on talent & team need.
Mocks will go by the wayside & change 100 times but I love this stuff.

You have to have Insider to see the rest of his article on this one.

[Horry For 3!]

Nevermind, King has Insider and posted it.

[Horry For 3!]

Damn, Kiper doesn't have Rod Wright or Jonathan Scott in the First Round, someone will be getting a steal if they get those 2 in the Second Round.

[bigzak25]

Lendell White to minnesota? whoa.

whatever team gets this man is gonna be a contender with the right coach. :tu

2006 Draft Projection
* denotes underclassman
22. Denver (from Wash.) -- Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College
31. Denver -- *Darnell Bing, DB, USC
I'd crap my pants if Kiwi fell that far, and I doubt the Broncs draft another DB after using 3 first day picks on corners last year.

Defensive line and Wide Reciever is where the first two picks should go.

[j-6]

22. Denver (from Wash.) -- Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College


That's bad-ass (though like Truth, I don't think there's any way he lasts to 22), but I want to know how DE's Tamba Hali and Mario Williams are picked to go that far in front of him, and Elvis Dumeril from Louisville isn't anywhere on that list.

I wouldn't mind Derek Hagan as a consolation prize, either or that LB Howard from UTEP.


31. Denver -- *Darnell Bing, DB, USC

No thanks. Don't draft a strong safety unless Nick Ferguson's in a contract year. Is he?

[Mr Dio]

If Den got those 2 players they'd have a much better D & would pound teams w/their RBs ala Pitt.

[samikeyp]

I will be praying that White or Huff fall to Dallas! :)

JJ...make the deal bro. Williams, Newman and Huff in the D-Backfield.....sweet.

dallas can use Huff, but i doubt they'll pick up White, they already have Julius Jones, Marion Barber, and Tyson Thompson sharing carries

[cecil collins]

Darnell Bing is not first round pick worthy. He was a decent ball hawk in college, and a converted running back, but I don't see him being a good NFL safety.

[cecil collins]

Damn, Kiper doesn't have Rod Wright or Jonathan Scott in the First Round, someone will be getting a steal if they get those 2 in the Second Round.
No shit, if the Niners got either of those guys in the second round I'd be on cloud nine.

[King]

I don't think Dallas would take another DB in the first round, especially with how deep OT is in this draft.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

If the Lions take another QB in R1, I may cry...

Seriously.

I rather have Jay Cutler than Joey Harrington or Jeff Garcia.

That would be nice if Huff went to Dallas or if Dallas traded up and got Vince :)

[Brutalis]

His mock draft is stupid. Well, for Miami anyways.

We're drafting a QB or LB. I hope.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I'm not saying Cutler isn't going to do well in the NFL; I just don't think the Lions can afford to wait another 2-4 years to see if they have a NFL QB...

I know I can't...

[hussker]

Looks like he is picking SEA over DEN in the EXTRA LARGE!

[tlongII]

8. Buffalo -- *Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon

As long as Ngata stays healthy he will be the most dominant player in this draft. This guy is a freak of nature. 6-5, 350 lbs.

[exstatic]

dallas can use Huff, but i doubt they'll pick up White, they already have Julius Jones, Marion Barber, and Tyson Thompson sharing carries

:lol You don't pass up a Maserati because you own three Chevys. OK, One Jaguar (Jones, constantly in the shop) and two Chevys.

4. New York Jets -- D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia

:flipoff

Fuck The Jets

[Mr Dio]

If he has quality D linemen around him he will be a force in the NFL. He doesn't need studs around him to succeed either.

[Guru of Nothing]

If the Lions take another QB in R1, I may cry...

Seriously.

The Lions will draft Santonio Holmes.

[Horry For 3!]

The Lions will draft Santonio Holmes.
I would laugh if the Lions draft another WR.

[samikeyp]

You don't pass up a Maserati because you own three Chevys. OK, One Jaguar (Jones, constantly in the shop) and two Chevys.

Agreed.

[Guru of Nothing]

I would laugh if the Lions draft another WR.

You do understand that I was merely .... wait, nevermind.
