In the context of this game, it seems a given that the Steam Rollers will need to rely on Art Monk - WR for their offense. This is no reason to worry, he is great. Believe me.
Mary Moore : Oakland Raiders
For this game, you would be a fool not to see that the offense will not be able to contain Ronnie Lott - FS. He will destroy them. I am looking forward to watching this showdown.

"The great thing about the game of football is, it's a team game," Owens said on a conference call. "I'm just going to be one piece of the puzzle."Moore and Nox Mock DraftPick 1: Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Larry Moore: Johnny Unitas - QB
The guy has gets along with everyone. Will make the tight throws like a pro. They need players at the position, and good ones at that. He fits the bill, he is worth the pick. End of story.
Jim Nox: Ray Lewis - LB
Great technique on tackling. Can bull rush smaller Tight Ends and Fullbacks when blitzing. Coaches love this kind on their Linebackers. A kid who is faster than most linebackers. Really a hybrid kind of guy. Coming of the edge with that speed will give blockers fits. Do not be afraid to draft a position of need here. This kid is well worthy of a pick this early. Perfect situation for him, and great fit for the team.
Pick 2: Baltimore Ravens
Larry Moore: Willie Anderson - T
This is a young man who, in terms of strength, can go toe to toe with the biggest defensive linemen. He comes of the line with power and leverage on run plays. This is something that scouts notice. Displays nice technique when blocking on pass plays. Keeps his balance and buys time for the quarterback. He addresses a need for them.
Jim Nox: Willie Anderson - T
Even though this is a youngster right out of college, he is strong like a grown man. 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. Displays nice technique when blocking on pass plays. Keeps his balance and buys time for the quarterback. They need playmakers at this position. This is what they are getting here. Solid pick.
Pick 3: Cincinnati Bengals
Larry Moore: La'Roi Glover - DT
His tape shows how strong he is. Flattening opponents with his bull rush. I do not see this changing even at the pro level. Nice closing speed once he gets penetration. Forces QBs from the pocket. It is clear from his tape, that he wraps up well on tackles. He fills a hole at the position. Blue-chip player. Will fit right in and start right away. Love it.
Jim Nox: La'Roi Glover - DT
What most people fall in love with is his strength. He will hold the middle, forcing runs outside. Additionally, he can mount a forceful bull rush and collapse the pocket on passing downs. Coaches are not worried about his forty time. He plays fast and will chase down the QB reliably when he get penetration. It is clear from his tape, that he wraps up well on tackles. Once this kid gets in the building, they will be set at this position for years.
Pick 4: Miami Dolphins
Larry Moore: Marvin Harrison - WR
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. He is driven by the love of the sport. Known among his teammates as a bit of a goofball, but never in a bad way. The kind that keeps spirits high even when a season goes south. If you check his tape you will see him make some truly incredible catches. More than enough speed to create separation. I am looking forward to watching him develop. Has the ability to change direction fluidly, which will allow him to work will over the middle. A pick for the future. And if you are in doubt: the future is tomorrow.
Jim Nox: Randall Godfrey - LB
Not afraid to lead. If you ask around, everyone will tell you, this kid is all about the team. Great strength and physique. He is going to get so many sacks, just from his speed alone. Elite speed coming of the edge is what you are paying for with this young man. No guys available at a position of need worth taking here, no need to reach, just pick the best available.
Pick 5: Atlanta Falcons
Larry Moore: Ray Lewis - LB
Hits ballcarriers low, taking no chances. Great strength and physique. This young man is fast enough to drop even the fast RBs for losses is they come his way. 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.
Jim Nox: Brian Dawkins - SS
The guy has his head on straight. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. You cannot coach speed. Even if you could, this guy would not need it. Consistently takes down ball carrier when he gets to him. Shows good understanding of his assignments on the field. He fills a need for them. They will be happy to get him.
Pick 6: Minnesota Vikings
Larry Moore: Randall Godfrey - LB
The kind of leadership he shows makes coaches salivate. Football is a team sport, and he knows it. Really strong for a Linebacker. This is something that teams love. Deceptively fast, will make you dizzy with his speed rush. They would be crazy not to take him here. A great fit, both in terms of what they need and the quality of player they get. This will put a smile on many faces.
Jim Nox: Kevin Hardy - LB
Great strength and physique. Is speedy enough to stay on the field in passing situations. They will be happy to get him, they could use an upgrade at the position, and he certainly fits the bill. A franchise caliber player. Just what they have been looking for.
Pick 7: San Francisco 49ers
Larry Moore: Kevin Hardy - LB
This young man can hold his own in the weight room. And he is strong enough to hold his own on the field as well. Fast enough to get around slower Offensive Tackles. Understandably, coaches will be itching to make this pick. Getting him on the roster will help any team.
Jim Nox: Zach Thomas - LB
The guy has his head on straight. The guy has gets along with everyone. Teams are looking for players who will not break contain. This young man is strong enough to stay on his feet against grown men on the offensive line. When he pins back his ears and goes for the passer he will demand some serious attention from the offensive line. Quickly discerns the field, and where to go to to make a play. It is not every draft you get a shot at picking up a player of this caliber. You cannot go wrong with this kid.
Pick 8: Providence Steam Rollers
Larry Moore: Alan Page - DT
Coaches love the leadership skills in this kid. Has the speed chase down plays even on the outside. This is what people fall in love with. And make no mistake, coaches are people. Coaches like his technique when tackling. Shows keen understanding of the game. Blue-chip player. Exactly what they look for. Add a young talent to a roster thin at the position, a great fit.
Jim Nox: Alan Page - DT
Not afraid to lead. Incredible first step. His speed will get him sacks. No doubt about that. Solid technique on tackles. He is a smart kid, and it shows when he plays. They gotta be happy to get this guy. Such a talent and he fits their needs. I would imagine the war room is celebrating when they make this pick.
Pick 9: Indianapolis Colts
Larry Moore: Zach Thomas - LB
Raised to know the value of hard work. Known for helping out teammates, if they hit a rough patch, whether it is on the field or in their personal lives. His strength is a good platform for him, surely a reason teams like him this high. Great first step. Defensive Ends with this speed tend to go high. The obvious reason is that teams love to get this kind of immediate pressure off the edge. Good instincts. Do not overthink this. Just keep adding talent like this to your roster and the team will succeed.
Jim Nox: Simeon Rice - DE
He has sufficient strength to not get bulllied on run plays. Nice speed for a Defensive End. Enough to keep contain and get sacks. No nonsense tackler. Hard to pass on a player of this caliber.
Pick 10: Atlanta Falcons
Larry Moore: Brian Dawkins - SS
Known among his teammates as a hard worker. This is the kind of kid you want to promote the game. Well behaved, loves the game, and respectful. He closes fast. Can really go sideline to sideline. Straight line speed is really a great asset here. No nonsense tackler. Pretty fast learner. They almost have to make this pick. You do not want to look back in five years and see this kid on another team knowing he could have been yours.
Jim Nox: Tedy Bruschi - LB
Teammates gravitate toward him, they follow his lead. Coaches love that about him. Known for showing up early and staying late. He plays well with others. He understands there is a reason for each assignment on every play. Consistently takes down ball carrier when he gets to him. Really strong for a Linebacker. This is something that teams love. Shows good understanding of his assignments on the field. He fills a need for them. They will be happy to get him.
