Well now that the NFL Draft is complete I thought I'd get the football talk started with a rookie Mock Draft. Don't know how accurate this is as I haven't talked to anyone but this is how I could see the draft ending up as of now.

1.01 Rabid Llamas- (WR) Charlie Rogers
NEEDS: WR, RB, TE

Rogers is a no brainer pick in my opinion. Especially with the start salary of $800. Fills a significant need for the Llamas and most likely will be a superstar.

1.02 Philadelphia Freedom- (WR) Andre Johnson
NEEDS: WR, QB

An RB might be tempting here and would be a solid choice but AJ would fill a need and could be a stud in the future. Carr to Johnson will be heard a lot in the near future.

1.03 Urza's Ragers- (RB) Larry Johnson
NEEDS: RB, WR, TE

A dreaded PennState RB but hopefully LJ could erase that stigma. An RB that I see producing this year and for the future. Is in a great system. Even if Holmes is healthy (yeah, right) he's an old man.

1.04 Philadelphia Freedom- (RB) Willis McGahee
NEEDS: WR, QB

No WRs are worth picking up this early. There's a solid group of QBs to choose from but how can Philly pass up on McGahee? With Ahman contracted for a year and Lamont Jordan waiting on the DS Philly can afford to wait for McGahee. The Possibble threat of a backfield with Green, Jordan, and McGahee will be scary.

1.05 Parkwood Predators- (RB) Chris Brown
NEEDS: TE

Mike's team is stacked. No weaknesses really besides TE. However this is too high to draft one. I like Brown alot as I love brusing backs. Went to the perfect team for his style of running. Eddie is aging.

1.06 Bay Area Bloodsucking Insects- (QB) Byron Leftwich
NEEDS: QB, RB

I just love this kid. He's tough as nails and has tremendous talent. Definately fills a need. Brunell is aging so this pick could pay dividens early.

1.07 Nittany Dodgers- (RB) Justin Fargas
NEEDS: WR, QB, RB

The Dodgers could do anything with this pick. A WR is definately needed however there isn't one good enough for the first round. A QB could be a good choice with Gannon unsigned and Pennington with a 1 year deal. Edge and Martin could be solid but there are questions there. But Fargas could be an injury concern as well. I'm not sold on him even though I'm a Raider fan.

1.08 Wonder Mutts- (QB) Carson Palmer
NEEDS: RB, TE, QB

Mutts need an RB bad but the value is better at QB. Farve and Brady only have one year deals. Pickin up the #1 Pick overall is not a bad pick for the 8th.

1.09 Bay Area Bloodsucking Insects- (QB) Kyle Boller
NEEDS: QB, RB, WR

Like above would like an RB but the value isn't there. I wouldn't mind taking a second QB and hoping at leats one becomes a superstar.

1.10 Royal Hawaiian Opihi- (WR) Tyrone Calico
NEEDS: WR, RB, TE

McNair finally has a target to toss to. Opihi need a WR and at 1.10 this is a good pick I believe. Bryant Johnson would be a bad choice either.

1.11 Parkwood Predators- (TE) Jason Whitten
NEEDS: TE

MIke finally picks up a TE and a darn good one. COuld be a stud. Also have to consider Dallas Clark here too.

1.12 Jersey Toxic Waste- (RB) Onterrio Smith
NEEDS: RB

The most pressing need but the last pick in a year where rookie RBs aren't anything special. Smith has the talent and could out play Bennett.

In summary:

1.01 Rabid Llamas- (WR) Charlie Rogers
1.02 Philadelphia Freedom- (WR) Andre Johnson
1.03 Urza's Ragers- (RB) Larry Johnson
1.04 Philadelphia Freedom- (RB) Willis McGahee
1.05 Parkwood Predators- (RB) Chris Brown
1.06 Bay Area Bloodsucking Insects- (QB) Byron Leftwich
1.07 Nittany Dodgers- (RB) Justin Fargas
1.08 Wonder Mutts- (QB) Carson Palmer
1.09 Bay Area Bloodsucking Insects- (QB) Kyle Boller
1.10 Royal Hawaiian Opihi- (WR) Tyrone Calico
1.11 Parkwood Predators- (TE) Jason Whitten
1.12 Jersey Toxic Waste- (RB) Onterrio Smith

Well that's my draft. This year is difficult to gauge with no clear cut stud RBs. Even the top RBs have question marks. I think the FF Draft with be similar to the NFL draft. With three teams holding TWO 1st Rounders (Freedom, Predators, Insects). There will be lots of trading this year and some potential big movers. Don't know what to expect, except that I'm excited for the season to begin.

Peace Out.
