TDMMC Mock Draft V 2.0

[Dave Gray]

BJL, if you want to re-do the Bucs pick, do it now -- I'm sure Tommy won't mind picking again. ...and if you don't take Ko, then nothing has to change.

I won't mind at all..... but I doubt he'll take Ko Simpson.  The Bucs need help at corner, not safety.

[BJL]

If I had to go with someone, it would be McNeil. He's a big tackle, but he's athletic enough to play the position. Plus he was an ex-teammate of Williams. As for corner depth, I think the Bucs address that in later rounds with guys who will be there. There are a number of corners deemed good cover 2 corners, because they are not strong in man coverage.

I made the change for Tampa Bay at #23...McNeill goes to the Buccaneers and Kiwanuka goes back into the draft pool. Since it's coming up on 2 days since the previous pick, I am going ahead with the G-men's pick at #25.

With the 25th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, The New York Football Giants select Johnathan Joseph, CB, South Carolina

The Giants four biggest needs to address in the draft are WR, OLB, DB and DT. With Holmes and Jackson off the board, I don't see a WR worth the #25. With Greenway off the board, I think New York would wait to grab a LB until round two. That leaves CB and DT, and Joseph is a much better value at #25 than the next best DT, Gabe Watson, would be. Joseph has good size for a corner at 6'0", 191 lbs, can cover well in man to man and even gives the Giants more KR/PR options. With Ko Simpson going at #24 in this mock, the Gamecocks now have back to back underclassmen selected...

With the 26th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft the Chicago Bears select.....

CB Ashton Youboty of Ohio State


You may ask why the Bears would draft another defensive player when they proved to be dominant last season on that side of the ball.  This is how a team expands their resources.  After witnessing Steve Smith singlehandedly torching their secondary in the playoffs last season, they will need every resource they can get. 


The Carolina Panthers are now on the clock!!!
