nice mock draft but i dont think dallas is interested in a WR with Morgan, Glenn, and Keyshawn.

Keyshawn and Glenn = Over 30. They don't have much left in the tank even if they are "Parcells" favorites. But I can't see Williams slipping past 7. The Vikings don't need a LB, they've got those 3 spots filled with Henderson, Thomas? and Harris. If anything, they'll take a CB before a LB.

IIRC, they were not happy with some of their LB'ers...though I can't remember if it was Henderson or Thomas(I believe Thomas...but am not certain). A LB is not out of the picture at all at #7 for them...assuming his name is Derrick Johnson.

 

Also, if Minny were to get Plaxico, I am not sure I see a WR for them in the first or second round...maybe not even until day 2. Burleson-Plax-Robinson is a pretty solid trio, especially for a QB as solid as Culpepper. I do think they will take a receiver at some point though, because past those 3, there is not much depth...Kelly Campbell is good for a fly route every now and then, but that's about all they have. I could see them taking a project like Brackins or Matt Jones, or perhaps they were to get one on day one, and maybe take a guy that falls or is just a good pick there(I could see Chris Henry, Fred Gibson, Roscoe Parrish...someone like that as Minnesota's 2nd rounder).

 

Overall...it is a solid mock. I see Barnes going higher with his great combine, I see Crowder in the 20s, I do not see Chicago picking a WR at 4(mainly because I do not see Chicago at 4 come draft day, but also because I'm not sure they like what they see there), Gruden has a hard-on for Cadillac, Thomas Davis might not be a 1st round pick anymore, let alone top 15, I see Luis Castillo going ahead of Mosley, and I actually see Philadelphia going with a receiver in the first round...possibly Mathis out of Hampton, who is like OMG FAST!!!1!!11!!...but Roth could be a decent value pick there. It may sound like a lot is wrong, but a lot of it is disagreements, and it is better then quite a few out there.

[SoxFan1]

It seems as if Minny has fallen out of the Burress auction. They still need a CB although Smoot signed. If they stay put, I see them taking Johnson or Antrel Rolle with the 7th and Williamson 18th because they still need a WR. But, talks might have them trading both 1st rounders for a top 4 pick to get either Edwards or Benson.

[WHarris1]

Winfield?

[WilliamTell]

Vikings, please don't take Edwards if he's still there. I couldn't handle seeing him in purple.

[SoxFan1]

Winfield?

Injury prone.

[SoxFan1]

Vikings, please don't take Edwards if he's still there. I couldn't handle seeing him in purple.

What are you worried about. Chiefs = AFC, Vikings = NFC. Also, you remember that guy named Kendrell Bell?

[WHarris1]

He's averaged over 14 games a year over his career.

[SoxFan1]

How many did he play last year?

[SoxFan1]

He's averaged over 14 games a year over his career.

And prove this....

[WHarris1]

He's played 86 games in 6 years...

[SoxFan1]

I see. 14 1/3 games a year....but how many did he play last year?

[WHarris1]

14

[SoxFan1]

Are you sure? I recall him missing a few games due to injury. Maybe I got him confused with another CB.

[witesoxfan]

Winfield had 10 tackles his last 4 games, suggesting he was used very conservatively. He was banged up a little this year.

 

However, he seems to be an every other year injury type player...he has never missed a game in odd number years, and has played 14 at the most in even numbered years.

 

Regardless, the Vikings will not even think about a CB at 7...probably not at 18 either unless there is some sick value at that spot(like Pac Man or Rolle, and there is virtually no shot of that happening). They will undoubtedly pick a CB in the later rounds for depth, but not much more then that.

 

I also don't see them even thinking about trading up with their 2 first rounders for a receiver...what is the point when you could get a Mark Clayton at 18 anyways(because Williamson is a top 15 pick...I don't see him making it past 12, whether San Diego or Chicago has that pick). And they are very much infatuated with MWill...he isn't a top 5 pick(especially with a 40 time of 4.58)but he is a top 10 pick...meaning I don't see him making it past 7(unless Minnesota does choose to go defense with the pick, taking Derrick Johnson...but quite frankly, I don't think they'll do that anymore either).
