DC Sports Page Mock Draft Redux

This post sums up our mock draft. There's already been one trade affecting the draft order, with KC getting the #17 pick from Minnesota, and there are bound to be more in the first round before all is said and done. Nevertheless it will be interesting to see how many of these picks we actually predicted correctly. With Jake Long just signing a deal with Miami as the first overall pick, the DC Sports Page is starting out 1 for 1.

1. Miami - Jake Long, OT Michigan
2. St. Louis - Chris Long, DE Virginia
3. Atlanta - Glenn Dorsey, DE LSU
4. Oakland - Darren McFadden, RB Arkansas
5. Kansas City - Sedrick Ellis, DT USC
6. New York Jets - Matt Ryan, QB Boston College
7. New England - Vernon Gholston, LB/DE Ohio State
8. Baltimore - Ryan Clady, OT Boise State
9. Cincinnati - Keith Rivers, LB USC
10. New Orleans - Leodis McKelvin, CB Troy
11. Buffalo - Devin Thomas, WR Michigan State
12. Denver - Jeff Otah, OT Pittsburgh
13. Carolina - Derrick Harvey, DE Florida
14. Chicago - Chris Williams, OT Vanderbilt
15. Detroit - Rashard Mendenhall, RB Illinois
16. Arizona - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB Tennessee State
17. Minnesota - Phillip Merling, DE Clemson
18. Houston - Johnathan Stewart, RB Oregon

25. Seattle - Malcolm Kelly, WR Oklahoma
26. Jacksonville - Kentwan Balmer, DT North Carolina
27. San Diego - Gosder Cherilus, OT Boston College
28. Dallas - Desean Jackson, WR California

Thank you Stu, for summarizing for us.

Some thoughts...
1 - As you noted 1 for 1 so far in the draft. Woo-hoo!
2 - As JP stated, Aquib Talib is the best name in the draft. And easy to pronounce, unlike Chris Fumatu-Malafala (I'm positive I didn't spell it right)
3 - I have listened to "experts" on ESPN and they say the secondary looked weak in the draft early on, but has gotten hot in the past couple of weeks. We drafted 7 of them, so maybe we had the early jump.

Stu,

Thanks for the summary and kudos for the Jake Long pick. I think the draft takes a nasty turn for us with some of our picks. It will be intersting to see if St. Louis plays it safe with Long or goes for Dorsey b/c this impacts the rest of our draft considerably.

The next big hurdle will be where McFadden goes in the draft.

So who's up for a mock draft of the 2nd round? Marathon night to get it done? Sorry, I forgot, going to the Nats game tonight.
