Mid-season Mock NFL Draft

Midseason Mock for the 2007 NFL Draft
4.) Tampa Bay Bucs—Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame

I like Bucs QB Bruce Gradkowski, but neither he nor the spleenless Chris Simms have the star power of Brady Quinn.Plus, top QB prospects just don’t fall much further down in NFL drafts.

5.) Tennessee Titans—Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech

The Titans are collecting offensive monsters.Last year they got super-human QB Vince Young, now they grab the 6’4” 225 pound Johnson to catch his passes.This is how Super Bowl foundations are built.

6.) Miami Dolphins—Quentin Moses DE Georgia

Some might say the Dolphins could use a quarterback, but I think they’ll stick with Daunte Culpepper for at least another year.Coach Nick Saban is a defensive coach and I doubt he’ll reach for an offensive skill player when he can snag a defensive end like Moses.Plus, Moses gets to learn from one of the best pass rushers around in Jason Taylor.QB Joey Harrington could be their tackling dummy.

7.) Cleveland Browns—Leon Hall CB Michigan

The Browns have a mess of an offensive line so any sort of blocker is a possibility, but good cornerbacks are hard to find.Coach Romeo Crennel probably wants to build a defensive powerhouse that can take over a game when the Cleveland weather gets nasty late in the year.Romeo coached another Michigan cornerback named Ty Law when he was with the New England Patriots.If you don’t remember Law as a Patriot, just ask Peyton Manning.Law intercepted three of his passes in one playoff game.

8.) Pittsburgh Steelers—Gaines Adams DE Clemson

What a difference a year makes, huh?That winning streak that the defending champs were bound to get on just isn’t going to happen.One reason is that the defense just isn’t the intimidating presence that it usually is.Coach Cowher loves his pass-rushing linebackers, so Adams should fit right into a black and gold uniform.

9.)Detroit Lions—Brian Brohm QB Louisville

Lets see, the Lions spend three consecutive first round draft picks on game-breaking wide receivers and now they have a need for a game breaking receiver to pair with Roy Williams.How does GM Matt Millen still have a job?The Lions don’t bite on a wide receiver here because the strong-armed Brohm is available and offensive guru Mike Martz is slobbering all over himself to work with that kind of talent.Still, I’m sure a receiver is pretty tempting here….

10.)San Francisco 49ers—Sam Baker OT USC

The 49ers are still in full-on rebuilding mode and one good way to rebuild is to protect your young quarterback with a talented offensive lineman.And by some duct tape to use on RB Frank Gore’s hands and WR Antonio Bryant’s mouth.

    If the Raiders seriously pass on Brady Quinn, Al Davis needs to be committed.

    When all is said and done, Calvin Johnson will be a top three pick (depending on the teams drafting) and the rookie of the year. Imagine a guy who works as hard as Marvin Harrison on routes, has the power of Sterling Sharpe, is as tall as Herman Moore, and with the speed like Steve Smith.

    This guy is a lock for rookie of the year, though Joe Thomas is a franchise type OT and any team would be wise to land him.

    Sorry man, but I just don't see Ted Ginn Jr. leaving after this season. I see him and Gonzalez in Columbus for one more year, if only because his father won't let him leave early.

    Steve Slaton is a junior and, I am pretty sure he is going to come out after the year he is having.
    he will be a top 5 pick
