Official Round 1 Selection thread - GM Mock

With the 20th pick of the draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select DeSean Jackson, WR, California.

Joey Galloway is 36 and Ike Hilliard isn't young either. I was going to select Mike Jenkins here, but he was taken. We need to groom a young CB but we'll wait until the next selection.

 

With the 22nd Pick of the Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Felix Jones, RB, Ark.


Dallas lost J Jones to Free Agency, and since DMac was off the board Jerry went with the next best thing. There was some consideration for WR and Corner here, but JJ couldn't resist the pick.

 

with the 24th pick in the nfl draft, the Tennessee Titans select Mario Manninghan, WR, Michigan.

 

25th Pick- Seattle Seahawks- Select: WR, Devin Thomas, Michigan State.

(This was a tough choice. This is Holmgren's last year. In the end, I'm thinking an additional WR for Hasslebeck, so Holmgren goes out on a great statistical passing year for his team.)

 

With the 26th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft the Jacksonville Jaguars select Lawrence Jackson, Defensive End, USC.

-- The Jags are in need of a DE since McCray packed his bags for New Orleans. Jackson may be a bit of a reach here but he is the best true DE left on the board, that is actually healthy. Phillip Merling would be a nice pick here if he proves he can return to form after a sports hernia surgery. They have also been reported to like Quentin Groves a lot but he's looking more and more like a 3-4 OLB at this point.

 

With the 28th Pick of the 2008 GM Mock Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Early Doucet, WR LSU.

He has all the talent the Cowboys are looking for. They were considering going CB, but with the top talent off the board and a Trade for Pac Man looming, JJ decided to beef up his already strong offense. Doucet has perhaps more upside than any other WR in the draft.

 

with the 29th pick in the nfl draft the San Fransisco 49ers select, Quentin Groves, DE/OLB, Auburn University.

with the top OTs off the board and some fringe second round WRs left, the 49ers decide to improve their pass rush with a rush LB.
