espn insiders first mock draft

[ice grillin you]

While the official list of declared underclassmen will not be made available by the league until a few days after the Jan. 15 deadline, several players have made their intentions known, and others, including USC RB Reggie Bush, have been the subject of fairly well-informed speculation, meaning some things are beginning to take shape.

Much will change in the coming months, as players take part in postseason all-star games and individual workouts, as well as the scouting combine, but here is our initial first-round mock for the 2006 NFL draft:

[QB Eagles]

I don't think Eagles will go WR. But then again I also think all mock drafts are wastes of time.

[Mad-Lad]

a WR would be moronic considering how bad the defense was this year.

[phattymatty]

I think Detroit will probably snatch up Holmes.

[Mad-Lad]

with Chad Greenway on the board, why would you take a WR?

[ice grillin you]

i dont know why but id have no problem with holmes..as long as they shore up the lb's in fa

as far as mocks go holmes is automatically going to be the in pick for the birds simply because all anyone remembers about this season is the TO debacle...completely ignoring the other reasons for the reagles demise

[QB Eagles]

If Millen took a WR, it would be the biggest FU to Detroit fans ever. I gotta admit that would be hilarious.

mock drafts>your life

You hurt my feelings.

with Chad Greenway on the board, why would you take a WR?

He's a white linebacker.  They all suck.  Just ask IGY.

[ice grillin you]

He's a white linebacker.  They all suck.  Just ask IGY.

chad greenway...ha!

they dont all suck but under no circumstances should you EVER take one in the first round...or even first day really...unless like aj hawk fell to the late second or something ridiculous like that

[BigEd76]

So you'd have passed on Ray Lewis and Urlacher like the Eagles did?

[Mad-Lad]

So you'd have passed on Ray Lewis and Urlacher like the Eagles did?

I was intrigued by Urlacher, but the Eagles needed a DT real bad.

[ice grillin you]

i would have passed on urlacher...you know why?...cause WHITE LINEBACKERS SUCK...he was the exception not the rule

[MURP]

pass on Keith Brooking? 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

pass on Keith Brooking? 

Overrated.  Simoneau's better.
