New NFL 3 Round Mock Draft

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:55:41 EST

1. Dolphins - (DE) - Chris Long (Virginia) over Jake Long * Parcell will have a very tough choice between the two Long’s. In the end it’s Chris Long who will play OLB in Miami’s new 3-4 defensive scheme thanks to the depth at OT in this years class.

2. Rams - (DT) - Glenn Dorsey (LSU) over Jake Long * This pick will come down to the final seconds. Dorsey would be a huge impact for the Rams poor defense allowing Adam Carrick to move back to end giving St. Louis a very talented young D-line. Good fit for both Dorsey and the Rams.

3. Falcons - (OT) Jake Long (Michigan) over Matt Ryan & Darren McFadden * After Jake’s performance at the NFL combine he has provide you can build a NFL franchise around him. A great character and future All Pro OT Atlanta will go the safe way and pick Long.

First of my many NFL Mock Draft 2008

OK all we all have seen tons of mock drafts for this years NFL draft. I am providing my first round mock draft that will follow with at least three to four more before draft day going to a two round then finishing with a three round mock draft. Let's here what you guys think?

#1. Dolphins - (DT) Glenn Dorsey (LSU) - Bill Parcell will try to shop the #1 overall pick to add additional picks to help jump start the Dolphins organization if unsuccessful I see Miami going with Dorsey over Chris Long reson being Dorsey seems to be the most dominating DT to enter the draft since "Big Daddy" Dan Wilkenson. Dorsey is a great fit if Miami goes to a 3-4 defense at NT but also will be dangerous in a 4-3 defensive scheme.

#2. Rams- (OT) Jake Long (Michigan) - If the Rams plan to protect Marc Bulger and provide a dominate run blocker for Stephen Jackson the Long is there man. Rams need Long in a desperate way and this makes the best sense to me.

Class of '04 for Michigan going pro...

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 15:05:42 EST

After a long up and down football season that consisted of super high expectations and huge dissappointment our great recruiting class 2004 that featured Chad Henne, Mike Hart, Adrian Arrington and Jamar Adams have finished up there eligibility at Michigan and now venture on to their professional football careers. Where will it take them? How well will they succeed? Here is my opinion on several Michigan Football players potential in the NFL.

Chad Henne - 6'3" 220 - A 4 year stater at Michigan, owns just about every passing record for the Wolverines. Helped Michigan to a Co-Big 10 Championship as a true freshmen with his great play. Henne stock has been on the rise thanks to a great week of practice at this years Senior Bowl. I view Henne's chance to be very good in the NFL. He has a very strong arm, throws a very good deep ball, able to make the all the NFL throws with ease. His footwork continues to improve and his ability to learn a offensive system in a quick manner is hard to come by for a NFL rookie QB. Draw back is that he tends to lock on his favorite target a little to often and his mobilty in the pocket is not very good. I can see Chad having a solid NFL career simular to Drew Brees if he ia able to land in the right system like a West Coast Offense and sit back for a year or even two before taking over as a full time starter. He could have success for the Packers,Panthers, Buccaneers, Seahawks, Jaguars, Ravens and the Jets. Overall I see Henne becoming a high to mid 2nd round selection and becoming a future starting QB in the NFL with the ability to develop into a Pro Bowl QB a few times in his career. Michigan has done a great job getting Henne ready for the pros.
