Who drops? 

Post#1 » by jumanji » Thu Apr 26, 2007 11:26 pm

All these mocks i've seen are pretty much all chalk. The guys i have with the potential to drop at least a half dozen picks;

Adrian Peterson, to the Texans #10
Levi Brown to the Chiefs at #23
Greg Olsen to the Jets at #25
Paul Posluzny to the Colts at #32

feel free to weigh in.

I agree with the last two, not the first two though. I have a hard time seeing Brown drop past the mid-teens, or Peterson drop past Atlanta.

Jamaal Anderson could free-fall. Aaron Ross could fall out of the first round.

I read today that Peterson has a shoulder that may need to be operated on, if the Browns dont take him where does he go?

Levi Brown is a borderline 1st round pick in my opinion, he's brutally slow and would go 3rd after Thomas and Staley and maybe even after the big guy from Arkansas if i were picking.(lucky for him i guess that i'm not)

Adrian Peterson, to the Texans #10 - Maybe

Levi Brown to the Chiefs at #23 - Not a chance. I've heard he may go as high as 8th to the Falcons.

Greg Olsen to the Jets at #25 - Maybe. I could even see him slipping to the Eagles at 26 if there's a decent CB for the Jets to take.

Paul Posluzny to the Colts at #32 - Maybe

I actually like the Olsen to the Jets speculation. He'd be a great fit for their offense, and he's a much better value at #25 than in the top 20.

Posulszny is very hard to gauge. IMO he's vastly superior to Beason and Timmons. Let me rephrase that--I think he's a much safer bet to be a success, and more immediately as well, though his ceiling might be lower. But I can easily see both of those guys going before him and Posluz falling even into the top of the 2nd round. But I know the Steelers really like him, the Jets really like him, the Saints are really high on him.

Even if Peterson drops to 10, then I don't think the Texans take him - instead that will be a lock that they'll trade down to either 14 (Green Bay) or another team.

Honestly, I don't think that Peterson gets there - injuries and all.

the panthers are at 14 the packers are at 16

and i think theres no shot the texans pass on peterson even with the green signing they'd get absolutely blasted by the fanbase if they passed on the drafts superstar the 2nd straight year.

if for some unforseen reason he does i wouldnt be shocked for jerry jones to jump and get him, but i dont see him fall past 10.

Green Bay would be very interested in trading up to get Peterson if he falls past MIN. Interested enough to basically give up the rest of their 1st day and something next year, if needed. They will not trade with the Vikings though.

I have Marshawn Lynch in the late 20s... is that dropping or do most think he's hurt his stock that much?

I think the Giants would take him at #20, but it's not unrealistic for Lynch to fall into the late 20s

yea i think marshawn falls into the 20s also, because of his back problem and supposed character issues, whether he has any or not...but then again who knows

If that's the case, I hope the Niners take that offer and pick up some extra picks. As far as those slipping, I think Branch and Carriker slip into the late teens - early twenties.
