With the hiring of the FAT TUNA, many of your mock's will change. To me, my mock makes the most sense.
My mock(with no trade down scenario):
*Picks in numerical order.
1) DE Chris Long. Parcells and co. decides Dorsey won't fit here and will be a health risk, and with Carey excelling at LT, there's no need to take Jake Long. The team opts to take the best pass rusher to aid the secondary and an overall porous defense. Someone who can also go after the running back when they're running outside the tackles. What's not to like about Chris Long?
2) DT Kentwan Balmer. Passing on Dorsey first, we go to a glaring need, Parcells and Co. will snab this big but quick DT who has the ability to gobble up RBs and pressure the QB. A smaller Warren Sapp who will fit in the 3-4 better than Dorsey.. I had originally had him as our 3rd pick, but I think passing on Dorsey requires that you grab the second best DT in the draft(Im not sold on Sedrick Ellis), even if it may be a reach.
3) WR Mario Manningham. This team needs a WR to compliment Ginn. Manningham is perfect for that role, with solid hands and good route running. If he declares, should be availible in the lower half of the 2nd round.
4) OT Chris Williams - Passing on Jake Long? No problem! This Vanderbilt OT would be perfect to replace LJ Sheldon at RT. He's better as a zone blocker, but Im sure Houck can work miracles with this guy. If he slips to the 3rd, he would be a steal.
5) CB Terrance Wheatly - A draft that's deep with CBs should provide us with this solid cover corner somewhere in the fourth. I think Wheatly could fall into our laps provided NE doesn't pick him with the last pick in the 3rd. He's fast, which our entire secondary lacks. A solid nickel/dime corner maybe eventually starter. Some want to draft Mike Jenkins, but when you have a draft that's actually loaded with this much talent at CB, we'll be ok waiting until the second day to grab one, and I think Wheatly should be there.
Ok the rest are pretty much up in the air. I suggest we look at a G, a TE, and a LB or a S.

I only am not a big fan of the Balmer pick. But I would be ok with it.
-
I'm no expert on where to slot players but I think alot of those guys will be long gone before our picks come up

nice to see some mock drafts again. Dorsey or Long seem to be logical picks, but Jared Allen is a prized free agent out there, and that could shake everything up.
I can't see Manningham lasting that long. I think this kid is tremendous, probably will rise like Sydney Rice did after workouts. Probably take Manningham (but again, some possible #2 type receivers in free agency) with our second pick, maybe a guy like Oham or that tackle from Pittsburgh after that? -
PUKE to that mock. That would be a bad draft IMO.

Am I the only one that dislikes Mario Manningham? In fact, I don't like ANY Michigan player, they are all overrated IMO.
