Re: Karlos' Mock Draft <div align="center">1) Oakland Raiders ? JaMarcus Russell | Quarterback | L.S.U. The Raiders desperately need a new Quarterback, and Jamarcus Russell seems like a player that would fit in with Oakland and Al Davis. I really feel sorry for such a talented player going to such a trashy team.</div><div align="center">2) Detroit Lions ? Joe Thomas | Offensive Tackle | WisconsinThe Lions probably feel pretty confident with Jon Kitna at the helm, and I could see them going for this guy over a QB like many would think. Without a doubt the best offensive lineman in the entire draft.</div><div align="center">3) Cleveland Browns ? Brady Quinn | Quarterback | Notre DameCharlie Frye? No. Derek Alexander? No. Trent Dilfer? No. There is no doubt that if Brady Quinnfalls to Cleveland, they would take him. Though they have many other needs on the offensive side of the ball, Quarterback is the most important position, so why pass on Brady? </div><div align="center">4) Tampa Bay Buccaneers ? Calvin Johnson | Wide Receiver | Georgia TechI don't really think that the Bucs lack a deep threat WR, but Joey Galloway and Michael Clayton are not the most reliable(Age and Injury-prone), so Johnson would add a huge playmaking ability to accomplice Chris Simms or Bruce Gradkowski.</div><div align="center">5) Arizona Cardinals ? Gaines Adams | Defensive End | ClemsonArizona is in dire need of a pass rusher, such as Gaines Adams. Like many of these early-round teams, the Cardinals have other needs, but a Defensive End is probably the most intriguing for them at this pick.</div><div align="center">6) Washington Redskins ? Alan Branch | Defensive Tackle | MichiganAlmost all of the mock drafts I have seen have the Redskins drafting Alan Branch. Apparently, the Redskins do not pick again until the 5th round! So, having that said, Branch would be a great accomplice to Cornelius Griffin and an already stout defense. </div><div align="center">7) Minnesota Vikings ? Dwayne Jarrett | Wide Receiver | USCArguably the worst receiving core in the NFL, the Vikings could sure use some weapons to accompany Tarvaris Jackson, and who better than someone of Dwayne Jarrett's calibur? In my opinion, this is the perfect pick for Minnesota.</div><div align="center">8) Houston Texans ? Adrian Peterson | Running Back | OklahomaAt this point, we aren't really sure about the future of Domanick Davis. Adrian Peterson would fit right in with Gary Kubiak's offense, and Houston isn't all that far from Oklahoma. If Peterson falls this far, Houston would be stupid not to draft him.</div><span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:100%"><div align="center">- NOT FINISHED -</div></span>

"Apparently" they don't pick again until the 5th? There are ways you can look that up you know I'm also going to have to disagree with Peterson falling that far. I still can't see Cleveland passing on a player of that talent. I also don't think the Vikings will look at WR in the first round, but it makes sense so I won't get too far into it.

You mean they haven't learned their lesson from William Green and Lee Suggs??
Re: Karlos' Mock Draft He's not injury prone, he had a case of bad luck this year. I think I'm going to have to sport some kind of Adrian Peterson support signature here, because it seems to be me against the rest of the forum. A COLLARBONE IS NOT A RECURRING INJURY FOR A RUNNING BACK! There is no way that teams should or will be scared off because Adrian Peterson broke his collarbone. He's going to put up extremely impressive workout numbers at the combine because of how fresh he is, and hopefully he'll remind everyone that he's a top 3 pick. Suggs was failing physicals, missing game after game after game, he was an absolute mess. PLEASE don't compare him to Adrian Peterson in any way shape or form..And to say he'd fall even further than Houston?

And you're going to try and tell me that a player who constantly gets hit on his shoulders game after game isn't at high risk? Lol.
Re: Karlos' Mock Draft A broken collarbone is only recurring if you're Charles Rogers. They wouldn't have brought him back for the Bowl Game if they thought it was a serious problem. Think about that. You're worried about his status as a pro in about 9 months, a year after the injury, but the Sooners knew that he was 100% 4 months after the injury occured. Once you're 100%, you're 100%, and your chances of breaking your collarbone are just as great as any other player. The collarbone doesnt just begin to wear down.

If you fracture your leg, it's more likely you'll break it again. Same with an arm, rib, jaw, eyesocket, metacarpal, and collarbone.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (The Punisher @ Jan 21 2007, 11:42 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Peterson is not even that good...</div>Which is what I'm saying.
