Fox mock Draft

Post by BossHog »

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/3468718

1. 49ers - Braylon Edwards

New coach Mike Nolan and GM Scot McCloughan want to trade down but can't find a willing partner. They have many needs and will take the best player available. Edwards is big (6-3, 211) and fast (4.45 speed), has great hands and has the potential to become an All-Pro receiver. He is a sure thing, which can't be said of QBs Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith.


I could swear I've heard that before... :-"
Sean Taylor was one of a kind, may he rest in peace.

This mock draft is kind of shocking to me. It has 3 WRs going in the top 7 picks - can that be true??! And then they have a 4th going at #11 to Cowboys. Last years class, which many regarded as very deep, took till the 9th pick to get a 3rd WR drafted. And then the 4th one went at 13 to Buffalo. What does everything think we do if we can't get a WR that high....try to trade down?

I saw (or heard) a report that the 49ers were leaning towards Edwards even before BossHog and Wingman's Mock Draft came out so I wasn't surprised to see him picked in the #1 spot by anyone.

I've got two words: Heath Schuler. Prime example of why a bad team may not want to throw a rookie QB into the fire.
SPIT HAPPENS!!

Does anyone else think that this year, the two QB's have been mentioned as the #1 overall picks just because that is the new trend in the NFL?
If Matt Leinart came out, he would be the obvious number 1, but I really don't see Rogers and Smith as the best players, they are the best quarterbacks which, by default, seems to make them now the 1st pick?

Not selling them short at all, but I imagine that they benefit by Leinart's decision. If Leinart was in the mix, I can't imagine that either of those guys would go 2nd. anyone else agree/disagree?

I don't understand why everyone is so shocked with a WR going #1. Edwards is regarded by many as the best draft prospect in this draft. Why shouldn't he go #1?

I definitely agree with you, Hogster.

For some reason I think Edwards is going to be Rod Gardner, part 2... lots of talent but loses concentration and drops the 'easy' balls.
The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

Adam Jones!? Why, wouldn't they have the Skins pick Rolle and the Texans Jones? I know it's just a mock draft but :hmm:

I agree, but I think the reason QB are mostly taken is becausse normally if you dont have a good QB, you are going to lose.
And when you have the first pick that means you have the worst record, so that means your QB probably sucks.
However in the 49ers case, I think the upgrade from Ratay to Smith or Rodgers is alright
But the upgrade from Brandon Lloyd to Braylon Edwards or Mike Williams is huge.
