Mock Draft: Clark Judge
Clark Judge predicts the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft.
(Updated on April 27, 2007)
| 2007 NFL Mock Draft |
| 1. Oakland Raiders | ||
|
JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU -- The owner wants Russell; the head coach wants Quinn. Whom do you think wins? | |
| 2. Detroit Lions | ||
|
Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech -- Very simple: Because he's the best player in the draft. | |
| 3. Cleveland Browns | ||
|
Joe Thomas, T, Wisconsin -- It's either Quinn or Joe Thomas, and Browns move to beef up OL. | |
| 4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers | ||
|
Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson -- Might still swing a deal for Johnson; otherwise, it's an understudy for Simeon Rice. | |
| 5. Arizona Cardinals | ||
|
Adrian Peterson, RB, Okahoma -- Cards follow Saints' lead from 2006 and go for best value. | |
| 6. Washington Redskins | ||
|
LaRon Landry, S, LSU -- Could look for best pass rusher but Landry is too good to pass up. | |
| 7. Minnesota Vikings | ||
|
Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame -- He drops this far only if Browns and Bucs back off ... and they will. | |
| 8. Atlanta Falcons | ||
|
Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas -- Would take Landry; otherwise, looking to replace Patrick Kerney. | |
| 9. Miami Dolphins | ||
|
Levi Brown, T, Penn State -- A perfect fit: He's a masher, and Dolphins must beef up line. | |
| 10. Houston Texans | ||
|
Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh -- Never enough CBs when you play in Peyton Manning's division. | |
| 11. San Francisco 49ers | ||
|
Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi -- Mike Nolan coached him at Senior Bowl and made his decision then. | |
| 12. Buffalo Bills | ||
|
Leon Hall, CB, Michigan -- Another chance for Marv Levy to pick up a Big Ten cornerback. | |
| 13. St. Louis Rams | ||
|
Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska -- They'd love to take a CB, but without Hall and Revis this is best option. | |
| 14. Carolina Panthers | ||
|
Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State -- Because Panthers have been looking for speed opposite Steve Smith for years. | |
| 15. Pittsburgh Steelers | ||
|
Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida State -- Terrific pass rusher who takes the spot of Joey Porter. | |
| 16. Green Bay Packers | ||
|
Marshawn Lynch, RB, California -- Could go in any direction; OK, I admit it: This is a need pick. | |
| 17. Jacksonville Jaguars | ||
|
Reggie Nelson, S, Florida -- Because he's the best player at this position in the draft. | |
| 18. Cincinnati Bengals | ||
|
Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville -- Time for Sam Adams to retire; this is ideal replacement. | |
| 19. Tennessee Titans | ||
|
Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee -- Titans need to give Vince Young receivers; they can start here. | |
| 20. New York Giants | ||
|
Aaron Ross, CB, Texas -- Giants looking at CB or DT; They'll take Ross over Justin Harrell. | |
| 21. Denver Broncos | ||
|
Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida -- Broncos find the speed pass rusher they’re missing. | |
| 22. Dallas Cowboys | ||
|
Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU -- Need a CB, S and WR, and Bowe is best value on board. | |
| 23. Kansas City Chiefs | ||
|
Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee -- Could go for Staley at OT, too; if Harrell is here he's the pick. | |
| 24. New England Patriots (from Seattle) | ||
|
Jon Beason, LB, Miami --Not a perfect fit for all defenses, but he's right at home here. | |
| 25. N.Y. Jets | ||
|
Greg Olsen, TE, Miami -- Jets' faithful won't like TE pick, but Olsen fills gaping hole. | |
| 26. Philadelphia Eagles | ||
|
Michael Griffin, S, Texas -- Time to start finding a replacement for Brian Dawkins. | |
| 27. New Orleans Saints | ||
|
Paul Posluszny, LB Penn State -- Because the Saints couldn't stop the run during the season or playoffs. | |
| 28. New England Patriots | ||
|
Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas -- He’s the best cover corner in the draft; Pats can’t pass him up. | |
| 29. Baltimore Ravens | ||
|
Joe Staley, T, Central Michigan -- So Jonathan Ogden is back; he's winding down and OL needs help. | |
| 30. San Diego Chargers | ||
|
David Harris, LB, Michigan -- Because Randall Godfrey is unsigned and Donnie Edwards is gone. | |
| 31. Chicago Bears | ||
|
Ben Grubbs, G, Auburn -- OL has too much age; time to do something about it. | |
| 32. Indianapolis Colts | ||
|
Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Ohio State -- Has more speed than Dwayne Jarrett; time to give Peyton another WR. | |
