Official VSN 2011 NFL Mock Draft Challenge

[Atlas]

Pretty god damn simple:

You submit your mock draft (1st round only), and whoever scores the most points gets a super sweet prize ($75 gift card to a store of your choice)...

Scoring:

You earn points in the following manner:
five points for getting the correct pick
four points for right player to the right team but wrong pick location
three points if you are off by one selection
two points if you pick the right position
one point if you are off by two selections
No other points will be given
Scoring will be based on when a particular player is taken, not which team takes him.

Example Scoring for pick one through five:
Pick Participant selections Actual Pick Points Given
1. Player A Player A correct pick = 5
2. Player B Player C off by one = 3
3. Player C Player E off by two = 1
4. Player D Player D correct pick = 5
5. Player E Player B off by three = 0

In the event of a tie, the person with the most correct picks will win... If they are still tied after that, the person with the most consecutive correct picks wins... If they are still tied, Lefty will just decide who wins, much like he did in the MM tourney... :smug:

Submit mock drafts to me and post yours in this thread by no later than 7:59 EST on Thursday April 28th...

Immortal

 

Round One

1. Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn
While I wouldn't do this, Carolina will. Carolina needs to get something going with this franchise, and Newton is the main attraction in this draft class.

2. Marcell Dareus, Defensive Tackle, Alabama
With the recent releases of Justin Bannan and Jamal Williams, the Denver Broncos have made it clear they will be taking a DT with this pick. The question is whether they take Marcell Dareus or Nick Fairley. Dareus is the more consistent player, and has less character concerns about him. You gotta be sure when you're picking this high, and Fairley has too many questions. If Carolina were to shock us and take Dareus then I think the pick would be Patrick Peterson.

3. Von Miller, Rush Linebacker, Texas A&M
Buffalo's Rush Linebacker's are terrible. Von Miller has been linked to Buffalo for quite some time now. He's at worst the 3rd player on their big board. The other two players would be Cam Newton and Marcell Dareus. Unless Buffalo decides they need to take Blaine Gabbert, then this pick is obvious.

4. AJ Green, Wide Receiver, Georgia
With T.O. likely to be moving on and Chad Johnson potentially being traded, the Bengals need to get that number one receiver for the next ten years. A.J. Green is the best receiver prospect since Calvin Johnson. Green will be the impact player on offense the Bengals are looking for.

5. Patrick Peterson, Cornerback, LSU
Unless Cam Newton were to fall, I don't think the Cardinals would take a Quarterback. Arizona would like Von Miller, but he's off the board. Arizona also has a need at Cornerback across from DRC. Patrick Peterson is the top player in this draft class, and is a once in a decade type of player. DRC and PP7 would form one of the league's scariest Cornerback duos.

6. Julio Jones, Wide Receiver, Alabama
With Da'Quan Bowers' knee issues and character concerns surrounding Nick Fairley, the Browns go for a Wide Receiver. The Browns have absolutely nothing at Wide Receiver, so while this pick may be a reach, it makes a lot of sense. Robert Quinn would be the pick if they decide against taking Julio Jones.

7. Blaine Gabbert, Quarterback, Missouri
San Francisco has been looking for a franchise Quarterback ever since Steve Young retired. Gabbert has franchise Quarterback talent, but we'll have to see if he develops into that. He can sit a year behind Alex Smith (assuming he's brought back) and be ready to take over in 2012.

8. Nick Fairley, Defensive Tackle, Auburn
With the top two Quarterbacks gone, the Titans move their attention to the Defensive Line. I think Defensive End is a bigger need, but Fairley is the best player available. With Nick Fairley and Jason Jones in the middle, the Titans will have one of the top interior pass rushing duos in the league. One other note, Tennessee's new Defensive Line coach, Tracy Rocker, coached Fairley at Auburn.

9. Tyron Smith, OT, USC
Word is Dallas likes Tyron Smith a lot. Marc Colombo is a bum. Tyron Smith is the most talented Offensive Tackle in this draft. Dallas needs to get younger and better on the Offensive Line. I believe Dallas would like to trade down into the teens, but that's likely not going to happen. Cameron Jordan or J.J. Watt could also be the pick here.

10. Jake Locker, Quarterback, Washington
I've been projecting Locker to the Redskins in the second round in my last couple of mocks, but they don't want to take the chance of missing out on him. While I think Jake Locker is terrible; Mike Shanahan doesn't. There were reports last year that the Redskins might of taken Locker with the 4th pick overall last year if he came out. He still needs to sit a year or two before he even has a chance of being anything in this league. The Redskins desperately need a QB and get a guy they really like.

11. Robert Quinn, Rush Linebacker, North Carolina
With the transition to a 3-4, the Texans need that premier pass rusher to come off the edge. Robert Quinn could have potentially gone number one this year if he didn't lose the year due to suspension, and he could go as high as number five this year. If the Texans don't feel like Robert Quinn is the guy then the pick would be Aldon Smith.

12. Da'Quan Bowers, Defensive End, Clemson
Bowers will fall in the draft due to his knee issues, but not into the 20's like some people think. Minnesota needs to add another Defensive End with Ray Edwards set to leave. Minnesota would like to trade back to take Christian Ponder and collect more picks.

13. Prince Amukamara, Cornerback, Nebraska
The Lions need two things badly, a Cornerback and an Offensive Tackle. The Lions fall into a dream scenario with Amukamara falling to thirteen.

14. Corey Liuget, Defensive Tackle, Illinois
With Cliff Ryan becoming a free agent and Fred Robbins turning 34, the Rams need to find someone to help build that defense. With Chris Long emerging last season, Liuget will come in and only make the D-line better. I could also see the Rams taking Aldon Smith, but I feel Defensive Tackle is a bigger need.

15. Mike Pouncey, Offensive Guard, Florida
I'm finally off the Mark Ingram bandwagon (as just about everyone else is). I think the Dolphins will trade back in the draft, but either way Pouncey would be the pick. The interior line is arguably the Dolphins biggest need, and they get the top interior lineman in the draft.

16. Aldon Smith, Defensive End, Missouri
The Jaguars need to solve their Defensive End problem, and Smith is the guy to do it. Apart from Aaron Kampman, Jacksonville's Defensive Ends are terrible. Aldon Smith is the most talented of the Defensive Ends remaining. Jacksonville takes care of one of their top needs with this pick.

17. Cameron Jordan, Defensive End, California
The Patriots are looking for another Defensive End, and Jordan is the perfect fit. With Mike Wright and Ty Warren both coming off injuries, Jordan will be an immediate starter. The Patriots will probably trade this pick though.

18. J.J. Watt, Defensive End, Wisconsin
The Chargers need to upgrade at LE with Jacques Cesaire set to become a free agent (and not being that good in the first place). Watt is the best available 3-4 End.

19. Anthony Castonzo, Offensive Tackle, Boston College
With the Giants O-line up there in age and very injury prone they need to start rebuilding the Offensive Line. Castonzo might not start right away, but he will be the LT for the future.

20. Ryan Kerrigan, Defensive End, Purdue
The Bucs had a horrific pass rush last year and Defensive End is the number one priority. This pick could be a number of defensive ends here, but I think it'll be Ryan Kerrigan.

21. Phil Taylor, Nose Tackle, Baylor
The Chiefs haven't had a legitimate Nose Tackle since they made the transition to a 3-4. Phil Taylor is the top pure Nose Tackle in this draft and will come in and start right away. There are some character and weight concerns with Taylor, but I think he has that under control. His foot condition also won't be a problem.

22. Derek Sherrod, Offensive Tackle, Mississippi State
The Colts need some help on the Offensive Line. Sherrod offers a Tackle who is very good in pass protection, which we know is important to the Colts. Solder is the more talented player, but the Colts need someone who they are sure on.

23. Jimmy Smith, Cornerback, Colorado
The Eagles tried many options at RCB last year and none of them played well. Jimmy Smith will come in and start from day one bringing some stability to the position. The Eagles won't care about his character concerns (which are overplayed to begin with).

24. Muhammad Wilkerson, Defensive Tackle, Temple
The Saints need both a Defensive End and a Defensive Tackle, but they have needed a Defensive Tackle along side Ellis for awhile now. Muhammad Wilkerson is the best Defensive Tackle available at this spot.

25. Nate Solder, Offensive Tackle, Colorado
The Seahawks were terrible along the offensive line last season. Sean Locklear played like the bum he is and Solder will be a hige upgrade over him. With Okung and Unger coming into next season healthy, this offensive line could be really good next year.

26. Cameron Heyward, Defensive End, Ohio State
Reports are the Ravens aren't gonna pass on Heyward at 26 if he's available. Heyward would add much needed depth along the Baltimore defensive line. Baltimore will always look to entertain trades at this spot as well.

27. Gabe Carimi, Offensive Tackle, Wisconsin
Atlanta could go WR, DE, or OL at this pick. Harvey Dahl, Justin Blalock, and Tyson Clabo are all free agents. The Falcons won't be able to retain all of them. I don't think the Falcons can pass on Carimi if he falls this far.

28. Mark Ingram, Running Back, Alabama
I can't see Mark Ingram falling out of the first round, and this is the last chance the he'll go in the first.. New England will address running back some point during this draft, and they get the best running back in the draft at 28.

29. Marvin Austin, Defensive Tackle, North Carolina
With the release of Tommie Harris and Anthony Adams becoming a free agent, the Bears need some help inside. Ever since Tommie Harris' knee issues the Bears haven't had a legitimate 3-technique. Marvin Austin is the perfect fit for what Chicago is looking for. An Offensive Lineman or Jonathan Baldwin could also be the pick here.

30. Akeem Ayers, Rush Linebacker, UCLA
The Jets struggled last year getting to the QB and need some help in that area. Akeem Ayers is the one of the top players available at the position. Ayers' wasn't used that much as a pure pass rusher at UCLA, but many believe that his his best attribute.

31. Danny Watkins, Offensive Guard, Baylor
I had the Steelers taking Watkins in the second round of my last mock, but I don't think they're sold on a cornerback to take here anymore. The Steelers aren't looking for someone to develop, they're looking for immediate help along the Offensive Line. Danny Watkins provides just that.

32. Brooks Reed, Rush Linebacker, Arizona
While Green Bay has some okay pieces opposite of Clay Matthews, they could definitely upgrade. Brooks Reed is the best available Rush Linebacker. He'll take some pressure off of Clay Matthews providing some pass rush opposite of him.

LiquidLarryotherrandomnames

 

1. Carolina - Cam Newton, QB, Auburn
- Carolina reaches for a QB because they simply don't have one.

2. Denver - Marcell Dareus, DL, Alabama
- Broncos don't have anyone on the DL and Dareus is a no brainer.

3. Buffalo - Von Miller, OLB, Texas A&M
- Still waiting for Aaron Maybin to get a sack.

4. Cincinnati - AJ Green, WR, Georgia
- Palmer situation makes this pick less obvious.

5. Arizona - Blaine Gabbert, QB, Mizzou
- Peterson is the best value, but they need a QB.

6. Cleveland - Julio Jones, WR, Alabama
- At some point I got to be different.

7. San Francisco - Patrick Peterson, DB, LSU
- Peterson is the best player in the draft. SF gets a gift.

8. Tennessee - Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn
- Reminds me of Albert Haynesworth, both the good and the bad.

9. Dallas - Tyron Smith, OT, USC
- They also like JJ Watt, maybe a trade down? Smith is too good.

10. Washington - Jake Locker, QB, Washington
- Mike Shannahan would have drafted him last year. Why not this year? Not Kyle's type of QB though.

11. Houston - Aldon Smith, Pass Rusher, Missouri
- Corner or pass rusher, I'll randomly say pass rusher.

12. Minnesota - Anthony Castonzo, OT, Boston College
- Awful offensive line that needs to be rebuilt takes prescendent over QB. Great value for Castonzo here.

13. Detroit - Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska
- Not sure who Detroit likes, but this looks like a match. Maybe they like Jimmy Smith more if they prefer a press man corner in their scheme.

14. St. Louis - Robert Quinn, DE, North Carolina
- Rams add a pass rusher, shocker.

15. Miami Dolphins - Mike Pouncey, OL, Florida
- Miami isn't taking Ingram, and I have no idea if they take Pouncey (supposedly they like him). I've heard a rumor they really like Mallett, too.

16. Jacksonville - Cameron Jordan, DE, California
- Another base hit pick for Gene Smith.

17. New England - Muhammad Wilkerson, DL, Temple
- Rumors say they want to trade up. I like Wilkerson.

18. San Diego - JJ Watt, DE, Wisconsin
- Just looks like a fit. Watt could go higher.

19. New York Giants - Akeem Ayers, LB, UCLA
- Don't like the player, but the Giants need a LB.

20. Philadelphia - Gabe Carimi, OT, wisconsin
- Missing a stalwart at RT since Runyan retired. Need DL (Washburn is new DL Coach and likes fast twitch ends), LB, and CB badly though.

21. Kansas City - Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue
- Could be a 43 SSDE, 34 End, and maybe some teams like him as a rush end even though he doesn't have a quick twitch.

22. Indianapolis - Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
- Colts need OL.

23. Tampa Bay - DaQuan Bowers, DE, Clemson
- More talented than the 23rd player off the board, but injuries and other red flags send him down the list.

24. New Orleans - Derek Sherrod, OT, Mississippi State
- Why not?

25. Seattle - Jimmy Smith, CB, Colorado
- Seattle needs to bolster the defensive backfield. Lots of teams like Smith much higher than 25.

26. Baltimore - Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
- The Ravens never shy away from obvious talent.

27. Atlanta - Jonathan Baldwin, WR, Pittsburgh
- Why not?

28. New England - Danny Watkins, OG, Baylor
- Just looks like a Patriots pick.

29. Chicago - Marvin Austin, DT, North Carolina
- If Austin plays this past season, he's a Top 10 pick. Insanely talented.

30. New York Jets - Brooks Reed, Pass Rusher, Arizona
- Somebody is going to take this guy in first. Would have put Justin Houston here if he didn't fail a drug test.

31. Pittsburgh - Aaron Williams, DB, Texas
- Its Pittsburgh, they'll probably take a lineman instead.

32. Green Bay - Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama
- Its the last pick, I'm not going to get it correct, so, why not? They should probably take offensive line or a front seven player for the 34 though.

This was a great idea.

 

[Scikotic]

Amazing Idea. Just for the hell of it can we include the team names too?

 

[Atlas]

yes, please include the team names... i was toying with the idea of giving points for getting a team/player right, and bonus points for calling a team trading up and getting a guy...

 

[Scikotic]

I think you should. Calling out trades can get tricky. I think 1 point for each team, and you get and additional 5 points if you call out the trade.

Your game not mine, just throwing out ideas.

Same here. This is the first draft in years where I haven't followed much of it at all.

 

[Champ]

Well Champ lost.

Next

I went with something different. If you look at everyone else's mocks they are pretty much the same.

 

[Rayman]

Too much going on for me to care about the other teams, but I can pretty confidently call what Dallas is going to do.

In order of the front office's preference:


Round 1

1) Trade up for Peterson if he falls past #5 (maybe even #4, but I do know a deal is on the table with Cleveland). Peterson is the only DB they'd consider taking in Round 1, forget about Amukamara - Been saying that for months.

2) Draft T. Smith if they stay at 9. Again, been on that wagon for a while, you know the reasons.

3) Trade down to the mid teens - looks like the guys they'd target there, much to my chagrin, are Costanzo and Pouncey. I'm not a fan of Costanzo, but I guess I could deal with it. Would rather have Carimi.

Round 2

1) Here's a shock, at least to me - Jason Garrett has a hard-on for Andy Dalton (those gingers gotta stick together I guess). I don't think he's gonna be there at 40, (in fact, I'd be shocked if he made it out of 1*) but if for some reason he is within reach, they are gonna pull the trigger. That's not even an indictment on Romo, but I'm told they see him as a great developmental prospect and a guy who fits Garrett's system perfectly. I'm kind of hoping it doesn't happen (Romo man-crush aside. We have bigger needs), especially since I don't think he's NFL ready right this moment.

*There's going to be a run on QB's early. I think you see at least 3 go in the top 15, as many as 6 go in the first round altogether.

-Names I hear are pretty much what I expected - Danny Watkins, Cam Heyward (probably gone at the end of 1), Aaron Williams, Rahim Moore, Muhammed Wilkerson as well as Clint Boling and Rodney Hudson (my 2nd rounder in the VSN Mock :smug2

3 and on

I'm hearing the names of a ton of small school guys with the same amount of validity as I heard for Akwasi Owusu-Ansah last year (Cowboys ended up taking him in 4). Some of them you know, some you may not.

They are surprisingly hugh on DeMarcus Van Dyke from Miami :SHOCKED: Like, Round 3 high.

I don't want to ramble, but I have ideas for the late rounders as well thanks to a great source.

And since I'm here, here's their offseason plan when the lockout is lifted:

Marion Barber - bye bye
Roy Williams - safe for one more year
Terence Newman - needs to restructure to hang around, may get cut anyway if PP7 is the pick
Marc Colombo - will restructure, try one more time to heal and get a shot at the starting RT gig. He deserves a last chance based on his heart alone. He may be shot, but he's tough and mean, something many of the other Cowboys simply lack.

Michael Huff - as sure of a thing as I've ever seen, will be signing a contract in Dallas immediately after the lockout ends.

Have fun. :smug:

[Nukleopatra]

Jacksonville isn't taking a QB that high, especially not Locker. Gene Smith even said that drafting a QB in this draft isn't a priority. Now, he could be blowing smoke up peoples asses, but if he is, it's because he wants to snag either Ponder or Niggernick later.

I'm not sure Smith thinks there is a legit chance one of the Top 3 QB in the draft makes it to #16, is why.

Plus, one of the remaining bums probably doesn't make it to #49.

I think they'll end up taking Cameron Jordan in the first, maybe Brooks Reed and they'll move on.

If Locker is there, I do think they'll take him though...I just think he is expected to be gone at Washington or Minnesota.

I made that pick not based on Jacksonville taking him. I made it based on them trading that pick away to a team that needs him there. Gene Smith wants more picks, I'm sure of it.

**NFL DRAFT BUZZ**

**NFL DRAFT BUZZ**

I heard on NFL Network that the Redskins are trying to swap places with the Bronocos to take one of the QBs
