[Blitzburgh55]

Houston Texans select OL Levi Brown
Height: 6-51/2 | Weight: 323 | 40-Time: 5.39

With the 11th pick in the SA Mock Draft the San Francisco 49ers select

Alan Branch DT/Michigan

HT-6/5
WT-324

The 49ers have a bigtime need for a NT for their 3-4 scheme that Coach Mike Nolan runs. I thought about OLB or WR for the 49ers since those are needs as well but Branch fills a need and is the best NT in this draft.

Consistently clogs the middle. Sheds one-on-one blocks and makes tackles at the line of scrimmage. Holds his ground against double-teams to keep linebackers clean to make the play. When bull rushing aggressively, can drive linemen into the quarterback's lap and finish sacks with one arm. Lacks burst off the snap to shoot gaps. Has no real moves other than the bull rush. Gets hands up to tip passes when not close enough to hit the quarterback. Is good at getting set and taking on blocks at the line of scrimmage. Lacks the explosiveness to shoot gaps and penetrate the backfield consistently.

Identifies plays quickly, and then locates the ball. Despite good instincts, doesn't make much of an impact against the pass. Plays surprisingly fast to chase down running backs between the tackles, but lacks the elite speed to make plays toward the sidelines. Is strong, and has long arms to tackle well. Can pull ballcarriers to the ground even when in bad position.

Buffalo Bills select Marshawn Lynch RB Cal

HT 5'11
WT 217

the bills traded willis mcgahee and now have no one to carry the load, lynch can come in and start right away to help the not so good qb they have

Lynch is the total package. He has very good size for a running back, and he is a good interior runner. He attacks the hole, and has the ability to break tackles. Once through the hole, he has the elusiveness to make people miss, and the speed to outrun defenders. Lynch has the big play ability that teams crave, but the steady ability to run between the tackles. He has also shown the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and make things happen.

with the 13 pick the rams select

Amobi Okoye DT Louisville

6-2 302

Extremely strong...A solid athlete with good measurables...Stout against the run and is able to take on multiple blockers...Gets a good push and will collapse the pocket...Is able to shed blocks and clog up the middle...Shows great instincts for the game and is still developing...Smart player who is mature beyond his years and wants to improve...Quick and will penetrate and rush the passer...Still has a ton of potential and he could really be physically molded by a pro strength coach.

Rams defense is sorry, always has been, this guy is a rock and has a can get after the QB while being solid in the run game

[Blitzburgh55]

Carolina Panther Take

GREG OLSEN
Height: 6-57/8 | Weight: 254 | 40-Time: 4.51

At one time Wesley Walls was a crucial piece of the Panthers offense but in recent years offensive coordinator Dan Henning deemphasized the position and as a result they just don't have a great weapon there now. However, Henning is now gone and his replacement Jeff Davidson wants to integrate the tight end back into the passing game so with that being the case Greg Olsen would make a lot of sense here. Even though Olsen struggled as a junior due in large part to poor quarterback play his stock is on the rise now after a sensational workout at the Combine in which he wan a 4.51 forty. In a down year for the tight end position Olsen is easily the cream of the crop and perhaps the one guy available who can stretch the seam vertically. This may be a slight reach but Carolina, Green Bay and Cincinnati could all consider him in the Top 20 and if you want an impact tight end this may be your first and last chance to get him. LaRon Landry and Levi Brown would garner strong consideration if available too but when you consider how much better Olsen is than the other tight end alternatives he may be real tough to pass up.

Has ideal height as well as the frame to get bigger...He has very good hands...A terrific athlete with fantastic timed speed...Runs excellent routes and knows how to get open...A much better blocker than he is given credit for...Can create after the catch...Somewhat of a wide receiver in a tight end's body and was really the Hurricanes top target at times...Still has some upside...Is also able to long-snap.

With the 15th pick of the 2007 SA Mock Draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select:

Anthony Spencer DE Purdue

Ht: 6'3
Wt: 266

Bottom line is we need a playmaker who has the ability to disrupt the OL, get sacks and create havoc in the backfield. I've been researching for a couple of days now on who would be able to do all this. Spencer is the one who fits the bill.

Spencer had a tremendously productive college career. He was a three year starter and has always been a sack master. Decent size and strength. Excellent speed. Quick feet. Good technique. Shows a variety of pass rush moves. Has the necessary tools to play outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense. Is a pass rush extraordinaire. Makes up ground in a hurry and always is near the ball. High motor and plays at 110%. Chooses lanes wisely and won't waste movements.

[BB2W]

With the 16th pick in the SA Mock Draft the Green Bay Packers select:

Reggie Nelson S/Florida

HT: 5-11 WT: 200

In a perfect world there would be a stud runningback worthy of taking this early, but there isn't. The Packers could use help in a lot of areas but you can't miss with Nelson...

Great athlete with the best ball skills of any defensive back in the draft. He is a great leaper who plays the ball at it's highest point, shows great body control. He plays hard and hits harder... he may be small but he embraces the position and plays with a mean disposition. His ability to read and react is "Ed Reed-like". Nelson is a couple inches and a few pounds shy of everthing you want in a safety.

[K Train]

With the 17th pick the jaguars select Patrick Willis ILB Miss

6-1 242

A very good athlete...Has excellent instincts...Good speed and quickness with the range to go sideline-to-sideline...A big hitter and reliable tackler...Is strong and powerful...Was extremely productive...Versatile and could conceivably play either inside or outside...Good pass rusher on blitzes...Tough guy who will do whatever it takes to get on the field...Hard worker and a leader with top-notch intangibles.

The jags are stunned he fell this far, take him with no hesitation to make an already stingy defense even better, and with peterson going down with a knee injury last year, this just bolsters their depth

[Blitzburgh55]

The Bengals Take CB Leon Hall
Height: 5-111/4 | Weight: 193 | 40-Time: 4.39

The Bengals need help at defense alot and they are very thin at CB. And I feel he is the best CB in the draft

Very good size...A smooth athlete with fluid hips and great quickness...Physical, tough and aggressive...Does an outstanding job in run support and is a reliable tackler...A playmaker with great hands and ball skills...Very smart with excellent instincts and awareness...Is technically and fundamentally sound...Versatile and has also seen some action at safety...Hard worker with premier intangibles...Has a lot of experience against Big Ten competition...Answered questions regarding his timed speed at the Combine...Also offers some potential as a punt returner.

[Koopa]

Titans select Robert Meachem WR Tennessee

HT 6'2
WT 214

reason: this was a very hard pick because of what happened with pac man jones being a complete waste of talent, because now they also have a pressing need at the corner........but in the end, the great vince young needs help on offense, he has a 800 pound running back and then a bunch of reject wr's, so picking a local talent will feel a need........he's has nice size, very nice speed.....he will be what vince was missing last year and that's a true number 1 target.........they could also go with jarrett but he's slipped a lot with poor workouts, or they could go with bowe, but i feel Robert Meachem, we end up being better then them............

Has terrific timed speed and quickness with a burst...Excellent size and he knows how to use it...Has a pretty solid build and the frame to bulk up further...Has long arms...Elusive and runs well after the catch...Shows some power and he'll break tackles...Has big hands and will snatch the ball out of the air...A big play threat in the vertical passing game...Coming off his best season and still has some upside.
