Ghost mocking - 1st round (part II) | Page 4

GhostofFredDean74 · 2011-01-13T11:11:16-08:00

1.) Carolina - Nick Fairley, DT (Auburn) They seriously consider Green and Gabbert, but settle on the disruptive Fairley 2.) Denver - Patrick Peterson, CB (LSU) Few CBs go this high, but Peterson is an exception in many ways 3.) Cleveland (trade from BUF) - A.J. Green, WR (Georgia) The Browns move up to get the top WR in the draft 4.) Cincinnati - Da'Quan Bowers, DE (Clemson) You can never have enough stud pass rushers; Bengals pair DQB with Dunlap 5.) Arizona - Robert Quinn, DE/OLB (North Carolina) Projecting AZ to sign/trade for a vet QB and grab a monster pass rusher 6.) Buffalo (trade from CLE) - Blaine Gabbert, QB (Missouri) Bills move back, add a few picks and get their QB of the future 7.) San Francisco - Prince Amukamara, CB (Nebraska) Not a sexy pick, but solid BPA selection (as well as critical need) 8.) Tennessee - Ryan Mallett, QB (Arkansas) A definite reach, but satisfies Bud Adams long-term need for a QB in Tennessee 9.) Dallas - Marcel Dareus, DT (Alabama) D-line is as much of a need as CB in Dallas 10.) Washington - Jake Locker, QB (Washington) Huge reach, but Shanny might see a lot of Cutler in Locker (sans the attitude) 11.) Houston - Ryan Kerrigan, OLB/DE (Purdue) Wade (who seems to prefer bigger OLBs) gets another Purdue standout as he installs a 3-4 12.) Minnesota - Cameron Newton, QB (Auburn) Needing a long-term solution at QB, Minnesota hoping for Culpepper part II 13.) Detroit - Adrian Clayborn, DE (Iowa) Lions continue to solidify their d-line with blue-chip talent 14.) St. Louis - Julio Jones, WR (Alabama) No-brainer for a team in need of explosive playmakers at WR 15.) Miami - Ryan Williams, RB (Virginia Tech) Another team addressing QB through free agency/trade, they grab the best all-around RB 16.) Jacksonville - Cameron Heyward, DE (Ohio St.) Del Rio needs an impact player at DE, and Cam can provide that 17.) New England - J.J. Watt, DE/DT (Wisconsin) Fits the Patriots in all the right ways 18.) San Diego - Anthony Castonzo, OL (Boston College) Finally a solid bookend at RT to Marcus McNeill 19.) NY Giants - Stephen Paea, DT (Oregon St.) Excellent replacement for the departing Barry Cofield 20.) Tampa Bay - Cameron Jordan, DE (Cal) Not overly explosive, but a solid DE for Tampa's rebuilding front-four 21.) Kansas City - Von Miller, OLB (Texas A&M) Desperately need a better pass rush, especially if they lose Hali to free agency 22.) Indianapolis - Corey Liuget, DT (Illinois) Colts need a real upgrade at DT 23.) Philadelphia - Derrick Sherrod, OT (Mississippi St.) Winston Justice and King Dunlap are not cutting it at RT 24.) New Orleans - Allen Bailey, DE (Miami) Addressing major weakness in their defense with a high-upside DE 25.) Seattle - Aldon Smith, DE (Missouri) Very underrated DE at this point; may not even be available at this point 26.) Green Bay - Nate Solder, OT (Colorado) Successor to Chad Clifton at LT 27.) Chicago - Marvin Austin, DT (North Carolina) Bears finally upgrade their talent at DT and get a former/potential top-10 pick 28.) NY Jets - Jabaal Sheard, DE/OLB (Pittsburgh) Not widely known currently, but should rocket up the draft boards 29.) Baltimore - Brandon Burton, CB (Utah) Potential lock-down CB talent 30.) Pittsburgh - Gabe Carimi, OL (Wisconsin) Steelers continue to rebuild their o-line 31.) Atlanta - Kyle Rudolph, TE (Notre Dame) If he's still here, this is a no-brainer 32.) New England - Jimmy Smith, CB (Colorado) Potential starter opposite McCourty

Exactly how poorly do you project Mark Ingram to do in the combine? I mean seriously? Ryan Williams over Mark Ingram? Ryan Williams isn't even on the same level as LeShoure let alone Mark Ingram.

What have you seen that would possibly lead you to believe such a silly thought? Ryan Williams is a 3rd round rb AT BEST.

It's just a mock; no need to be an ass about it.

LOL.

No intention of being an ass, bruh. Just curious why you think such a proven/outstanding/heisman winning rb in the SEC will not be drafted in round 1, but a guy like ryan williams will be.

You said a poor combine would be the reason.

Well WHAT has led you to having that thought?

Listen, you could be right and Ingram could be the first RB off the board and Williams could be an undrafted free agent...nobody right now knows what's going to happen in April, not me, not you or even NFL personnel people making the selections.

That said, if you compare Ingram's Heisman winning year to that of Williams (2009), you'll see they're virtually indentical in yards rushing (by a few yards), average (Ingram beats RW here slightly) and rushing TDs (Williams had 21 to Ingram's 17). They were essentially the same RB that year, but Alabama won the National Championship so Ingram got the hardware and the acclaim.

This year was tougher to gauge because of injuries/missed games by both.

However (IMO), when they both hit the combine, and have their pro-days, Williams prove to be the quicker, faster and more explosive RB and show better all-around skills than Ingram. Teams will not select based on individual awards, name recognition or championships won in college. They will select based on talent, and I think Williams is the better overall talent. But that's just an opinion and I openly admit I could be completely and totally wrong.
