2007 NFL Mock Draft - Version 1.0
Here is my first stab at the top 10 plus Packers pick at #16:
#1 Raiders - JaMarcus Russel (QB - LSU): Russell has a great presence in the pocket, accurate throw, and an outstanding deep ball. Just what Al Davis is always looking for to run the Raiders vertical passing game.
#2 Lions - Joe Thomas (OT - Wisconsin): The Lions will pass on C. Johnson & B. Quinn. Matt Millen will make the fist smart move of his tenure by picking up this future franchise left tackle.
#3 Browns - Adrian Peterson (RB - Oklahoma): Romeo Crennel's job is in jeopardy so he needs this pick to be a "home run". Peterson has injury concerns but when healthy is an elite running back.
#4 Bucs - Calvin Johnson (WR - Georgia Tech): Rare size, strength and speed. The Bucs have many needs but Johnson would be nearly impossible to pass on at this point.
#5 Cardinals - Gaines Adams (DE - Clemson): Adams is currently considered the best defensive player in the draft. Should be an instant defensive playmaker, which the Cards definitely need.
#6 Redskins - Alan Branch (DT - Michigan): The Redskins have many needs on the defensive line and Branch has the speed to play DE and the power to play nose tackle. His versatility will push him ahead of Amobi Okoye.
#7 Vikings - Jamaal Anderson (DE - Arkansas): The Vikings biggest need is at wide receiver. However, with Childress not being a supporter of first round wide receivers, the next option is to improve the pass rush. Anderson is coming off an outstanding junior year, and would make a great partner opposite Erasmus James. It'll be difficult to pass on Brady Quinn but the Vikings have already invested in T. Jackson. Anderson is the pick.
#8 Texans - Brady Quinn (QB - Notre Dame): Quinn is the question mark of the draft but if he is available here, the Texans simply cannot let the opportunity pass them by. At this point the Texans would draft Quinn and trade David Carr for a first day pick.
#9 Dolphins - Amobi Okoye (DT - Louisville): Age and free agency make the middle of the defensive line a priority for the Dolphins. Okoye began his college career at age 16 and was dominant, despite being the youngest on the field. At age 19, Okoye is ready to produce at the NFL level.
#10 Falcons - LaRon Landry (FS - LSU): Given the players already gone, this is an easy pick. The tandem of safeties for Atlanta last season was less than impressive and Laron Landry would make an immediate positive impact where they need it most.
#16 Packers - Marshawn Lynch (RB - California): Great inside runner, with the ability to take a hit and quickness to turn the corner. Will be the replacement for Ahman Green and will be the franchise running back for years to come.
