Game of the Week: Detroit Lions at Miami DolphinsOur Expert Predictions:
Jeremy Piper : Detroit Lions The leadership on this team is great. Having a guy like Freeman McNeil - RB on the field and in the locker room is exactly what you need to win games like this.
Mary Moore : Miami Dolphins I do not think people realize how good this offense is. They are 4th in the league pass completion percentage. They are 3rd in the league passing touchdowns with 23. They are 2nd in the league passing yards per game. They average 284.7! They are 2nd in the league in sacks allowed.
Jim Nox : Detroit Lions They play great together. Having a guy like Ray Childress - DE on the field who understands what everyone needs to do and helping them play as a unit will help them a great deal in this game.
Darren Francis : Detroit Lions For this match up, I think that Bill Maas - DT is hard to gameplan for. Look for him to dominate. This will either be wildly entertaining or a dull grind. I see no middle between the two.
Baltimore Ravens surprise everyone!With an outstanding effort the Baltimore Ravens pull off the upset against Providence Steam Rollers.

And he is strong enough to hold his own on the field as well. Offenses will need to keep tabs on him. He will close down fairly quickly if left unblocked. Fits nicely with their needs. Fits nicely with the draft spot. Getting it right is important with these early picks. This guy is right.
Pick 2: Washington [Redacted]s Larry Moore: Emlen Tunnell - SS Here is a young man who is legitimately explosive. He will go sideline to sideline. YOu really need that kind of mobility at the Strong Safety position. Consistently takes down ball carrier on tackles. Pretty bright kid. They will be running to the podium for this one.
Jim Nox: Paul Warfield - WR Throw the ball up, and this kid will come down with it, even if he is not even on the field. Sufficient speed to run deep routes, and enough to make him tough to catch if you lose sight of him. They need players at the position, and good ones at that. He fits the bill, he is worth the pick. End of story.
Pick 3: New York Jets Larry Moore: Paul Warfield - WR If you check his tape you will see him make some truly incredible catches. Nice speed. Will keep defenses honest. They should not be afraid to fill a need here. He will start day one. Quality pick right here.

Can be relied upon to understand his role on any given play. Fans, coaches, and teammates alike will be ecstatic to get him on the team. He fits what they need, he is such a great talent. Everything lines up.
Pick 4: Minnesota Vikings Larry Moore: Bobby Boucher - LB Linebackers must tackle. This guy is not only superb at it. He also hits cleanly and with great force. Coaches and players alike respect that. Can bull rush smaller Tight Ends and Fullbacks when blitzing. Coaches love this kind on their Linebackers. People watching his tape often do not notice his speed. It is not something that jumps out at you, but he is pretty fast. He fills a hole at the position. Blue-chip player. Will fit right in and start right away. Love it.

Pick 5: Miami Dolphins Larry Moore: A.J. Hawk - LB His leadership is through the roof. He is on the frontline, always. He helps everyone get in the right position, making the team run as a well oiled machine. Sportsmanship, love of the sport and respect, is what you get with him. Wraps up well when tackling. He brings nice strength to the table. This is important because often his role will to keep contain. You cannot do that if you are on your back. Is speedy enough to stay on the field in passing situations. Are there other guys worth picking here? Sure, but none of them fit this well with what they need, and he is a solid talent.
Jim Nox: A.J. Hawk - LB Need a leader? He is your guy. I want this kid on my team. He understands his role on the field, and how it fits in with what everyone else is doing.

He has the strength to throw defenders around, and not just the linebackers. This is a guy who is already a pretty good blocker in the run game. He has shown in college he can hold his own in pass blocking. He keeps good leverage and will only get better once the coaches get their hands on him. They need playmakers at this position. This is what they are getting here. Solid pick.
Jim Nox: Andrew Whitworth - T This is a player who takes the lead. Raised to know the value of teamwork. He will have a legit shot at winning bets arm wrestling the veterans. The kind of strength this kid has earns a lot of respect in a locker room. Run blocking is very different when facing college kids than the full-grown men in the pros. This kid has the skills to do the latter. Something that scouts highight is how well he pass blocks. You do not pick him this high if he could not protect the QB. He fills a need for them. They will be happy to get him.
Pick 7: Indianapolis Colts Larry Moore: Jahri Evans - G Incredibly strength and physique. Teams are always looking for run blockers with a mean streak. This kid fit that bill.

Jim Nox: Jahri Evans - G This is a young man who will bench press a Defensive Tackle, and not a small one! Superb in the run game. Takes on defenders with tenacity and finishes his blocks. Reacts intelligently on the field. Might not be what fans want, but there is a reason people are getting paid to make these decisions. This is a rock solid pick, and he fits what they are looking for. Fans will come around quickly once they see him play.
Pick 8: Green Bay Packers Larry Moore: Mario Williams - DE This kid is not afraid to work hard. Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. He has sufficient strength to not get bulllied on run plays. Not a topnotch forty time, but not bad either. Has enough quickness in his first step to do everything you ask of him. You want your Linebackers to tackle. This guy is pretty good at that. Fill a need, get a quality player, everyone wins! He will fit right in with the pros.
Jim Nox: Donald Penn - T He has sufficient strength to have a chance against grown men on the defensive line. A tenacious blocker in the running game. He will open lanes. Needless to say this appeals to a lot of teams. Shows good understanding of his assignments on the field. Might not be what fans want, but there is a reason people are getting paid to make these decisions. This is a rock solid pick, and he fits what they are looking for. Fans will come around quickly once they see him play.
Pick 9: Seattle Seahawks Larry Moore: Donald Penn - T The muscles on this kid should allow him to hold his own against pro competition. Great blocking skills.

They should have no qualms here, run to the podium and get your man.

Runs good routes, and that is really something coaches are looking for in kids. Can be relied upon to understand his role on any given play. Fits the bill, great quality pick, and fills a soft spot on the roster. They should have no qualms here, run to the podium and get your man.
Jim Nox: Tommy Nobis - LB The impact on his tackles strikes awe in spectators. He is sure to produce some highlight reel takedowns in his career. Has sufficient strength to play with the big boys in the pros. Will never become a speed rush specialist, but has sufficient speed to become a prototype Defensive End. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.
