Restore the Bark, Part I
http://www.pigskinheaven.com/gallery/files/5/wooflogo0jn.jpg
By Chris "Raiden" Grewe, NFL Columnist
Volume 3, Issue 7
Restoring the Bark, Part III will appear in this space next week. But, in the spirit of the recently wrapped Combine in Indianapolis, it's only fair that The Woof busts out the ole' mocky machinerino and gets rollin' with The Mock: Version 1.0, 2007 edition.
And the best part, unlike the new Microsoft release, this one contains less than 60,000 bugs, but only because there's only 32 mistakes to make...hey, I'm bound to be right about SOMETHING in here, right?
Right?

Without further Freddie Adu...The Mock: Version 1.0.

Al Davis regrets passing on a franchise quarterback last season in Matt Leinart. Taking Russell starts to make up for that mistake, not to mention he's a guy whose arm can cut through the stiff Bay Area winds and get the ball downfield...sounds like a perfect fit to me.</TD>

Raiden Pipedream Killer pick right here. I had been secretly (and not so secretly) hoping Mr. Carriker fell to Round 2 for the past several months, but after a dominant Senior Bowl performance, and decent combine showing, I figure the best way to solve my problem is...to jinx him by giving him to a team I have only predicted right once out of the past three years.</TD>

Willis is a guy who will rise up a lot of boards in the next few weeks. At the combine, he weighed in at 242 lbs. and still booked to a 4.49 40 time. Very solid football player who will be able to anchor the middle of the Bills defense.</TD>

Rice is a big tall receiver who could fit into the West Coast offense very well. Though he'll probably drop less balls than the Eagles last number one receiver, he'll probably drop fewer jaws too, but that's ok, he and Reggie Brown will be a solid tandem for Donovan McNabb to throw to.</TD>

Restoring the Bark, Part III will appear in this space next week. But, in the spirit of the recently wrapped Combine in Indianapolis, it's only fair that The Woof busts out the ole' mocky machinerino and gets rollin' with The Mock: Version 1.0, 2007 edition.
And the best part, unlike the new Microsoft release, this one contains less than 60,000 bugs, but only because there's only 32 mistakes to make...hey, I'm bound to be right about SOMETHING in here, right?

Be weary of the Razorback Cornerback in the first round...so warns the ghost of Ahmad Carroll's career...</TD>

Rice is a big tall receiver who could fit into the West Coast offense very well. Though he'll probably drop less balls than the Eagles last number one receiver, he'll probably drop fewer jaws too, but that's ok, he and Reggie Brown will be a solid tandem for Donovan McNabb to throw to.</TD>

Once thought to be a lock top fifteen selection, McCauley's stock dropped this year with subpar play. Well, it didn't help that his team won all of one game either. The Saints really screwed this one up for me by resignin Hollis Thomas...thanks guys, way to do something smart and ruin every 'Aints joke I had left in the book.</TD>

The Pats would LOVE to see Patrick Willis fall to one of their picks, but let's face it, the guy's too much of a beast for that to happen, right...right??? Ah screw it, let's face it, the Pats get all the luck, so this pick is unlikely at best, but hey, for the moment, it works.</TD>

<TD colSpan=2>Weddle will upgrade the safety position for the Chargers. Whether it's in the department of interceptions or the department of number of bottles of cough syrup exported, that remains to be seen.</TD>

A week ago, he wasn't worthy of a first round pick. Shyaa, there's a reason they call it "last week", this week he's worthy of a first round pick by virtue of he run really fast for 40 yards twice.</TD>

Here's a great idea. Replace one underachieving defensive tackle who can't stay in shape with another underachieving defensive tackle, this one who claims to have learned how to stay out of trouble. Then again, what's there to do in Indy to ACTUALLY get yourself in trouble?</TD>
