In an ongoing installmant coinciding with the release of the rest of the foxsports mock draft I will continue to breakdown the players in the first round.  If a player is still being drafted by the same team I will skip them and move on.  This will give me more of a chance to prove my worth of evaluating college football players as I stare into my crystal ball.

So what I aim to do here is apply my expert opinion to the football draft.  I am going to use the most recent mock draft released by foxsports and breakdown the picks.  I won't go into much detail, just use what I know to shed a little light.  I predict I'll be 70% effective with my predictions.  Follow me as I lead you down a path of enlightenment.  I will give a grade based on my prediction of their fist five years in the NFL also prediction is based on them going to the team they are projected to land on. 

(The first three were based off of Peter Schrager's mock drafts.  This one goes off of the NFLDraftScout.com's latest entry.)

2. Brady Quinn/Lions (A) - As stated in volume 1 Quinn is a great pro prospect.  Despite his negative publicity, the kid never had a great offense to play with, and carried his team the last two years.  Jon Kitna is not a bad mentor, he'll get 4-5 starts his first year.  This is the pick Detroit needs to make.

3. Joe Thomas/Browns (B) - This doesn't seem to be the pick that makes sense.  Why not go with Calvin Johnson??  At the least draft Johnson and trade him if they really don't want him.  Thomas is a good player, but get a guy that touches the ball.

6. Amobi Okoye/Redskins (B+) - If the Skins are dead set on drafting a DL then this is the pick.  Okoye gets a B+ only because he's a better choice than Branch.  Still, look at the history of impact DTs.  Is there such a thing unless Ray Lewis is standing behind you?

7. Leon Hall/Vikings (B) - The lack of testing in college is going to make the transition of this guy into the NFL very tough.  I'm not so sure he's really a 7 pick.  I would go ahead and take a versatile LaRon Landry here.  Use the cover two and get the best overall DB in the draft.

8. Laron Landry/Falcons (B) - I suppose this means the Falcons are set on drafting this guy.  Unless its a smokescreen to move up for the chance at Peterson.  You know Petrino loves offense,  and if they've made the decision to let Vick take them to the promised land, they'd better get some more offensive weapons.  I'm just not so sure Norwood is the answer and Dunn is obviously on the last leg of his career.

9. Alan Branch/Dolphins (C) - Not sure what this pick is aimed to do for the Dolphins.  Getting the second best DT inside of the first ten picks?  Should they be looking for a replacement for Thomas???  That's what I'd be doing.  Then again I'm not a rich guy that runs a football team like I know nothing about football.

10. Adrian Peterson/Texans (B) - Matt Schaub and Adrian Peterson for Laron Landry and...  Someone must really know what they're doing because this one has me baffled.  Let's see, David Carr never had a chance in Houston because they never had a line.  Now they still don't have a line, but at least they have Schaub.  I'm glad I'm not a fan of either team.

11. Robert Meachem/49ers (B) - According to Norcals website and 41 mock drafts polled, Meachem is the 4th or 5th best reciever in the land, yet he's going 2nd?  I know he had a hot combine, but is this a gamble worth taking?  You know Nolan goes on character as much as he goes on talent.  I trust the guys evaluation abilities more than I trust his conservative wimpy coaching style.  I believe this will happen.  They'll take an o-lineman in round 2.

12. Patrick Willis/Bills (A) - The next Demeco Ryans?  I'd suppose that's what they are aiming for.  Their offense has been coming along nicely, I suppose its time to turn towards the defense.  Replacing Nate Clements may be something they'll take care of later. 

13. Darelle Revis/Rams (B) - I'd think about trying to find some recievers or trade down and get a tight end.  The Rams have been quiet in the offseason so maybe they are just bracing for a losing season or two.  Marc Bulger is good, but he needs help and more speed.  Bruce just ain't what he used to be.

Here's a ranking of how I feel these teams are meeting their needs with these picks.  This by far is the worst of the mock drafts I've seen.  The only picks I really agree with are the Lions, the Redskins, and the 49ers.  The other ones may happen, but I just don't get them.  The more drafts I look at, the more I realize I'm as much of an expert as these guys that release this garbage. 

1. Lions 2. Redskins 3. 49ers 4. Bills 5. Rams 6. Vikings 7. Texans 8. Falcons 9. Dolphins 10. Browns
