Here is my pick-by-pick commentary on how I think 110% Football did in the draft: 

1.07 Manning, Peyton IND QB
As you know from my previous posting, I was targeting Frank Gore with this pick. While I was somewhat disappointed to see Gore go right before my pick I was pleased to see Peyton Manning fall to the 7 slot. This pick was really a no-brainer after looking over the talent left on the board.  
  
2.06 Jones-Drew, Maurice JAC RB
Some of you may view this pick as a reach but Maurice Jones-Drew is a tough son of a gun. This guy is on the upside of his career sharing time with a veteran in Fred Taylor who is on the downside of his career. Jones-Drew is also used more inside the red zone as witnessed by his 15 touchdowns in 2006 to Fred Taylor’s 9.   
  
3.07 Colston, Marques NOS WR
This is a pick I would like to have back. I was hoping Reggie Wayne or Steve Smith would slip to me here but that didn’t happen. I was debating over Colston and Larry Fitzgerald and I ended up selecting Colston based on the quarterback position. I hope this pick doesn’t come back to haunt me.  
  
4.06 Jones, Thomas NYJ RB
The Chicago Bears made a big mistake in my opinion - Thomas Jones is one of the more underrated players in the NFL. The New York Jets happens to be an excellent fit for the veteran runner. I am expecting Jones to accumulate 1,200 and 10-12 touchdowns this year.  
  
5.07 Barber, Marion DAL RB
I was hoping Anquan Boldin would be available with this pick but I was targeting Marion Barber as well. In a league where running backs are extremely important, I wanted to lock up a solid second tier guy as soon as I could. Barber has the potential to be a top 8-10 back if he earns more playing time.  
  
6.06 Moss, Santana WAS WR
I thought long and hard about selecting Calvin Johnson with this pick but the upside for Santana Moss is greater than the upside for a rookie wide receiver. The only concern I have with this pick is the lack of experience at the quarterback position in Washington.  
  
7.07 Glenn, Terry DAL WR
Glenn is definitely a player who is getting up there in age but he hasn’t shown signs of losing speed. The Dallas Cowboys offense has begun to gel; Tony Romo prefers throwing to Glenn - that’s enough reason for me to believe he will have another solid campaign.  
  
8.06 Davis, Vernon SFO TE
Being the huge 49ers fan that I am, I have been following Vernon Davis’s maturation process and no one player has improved any more during the offseason than Vernon has. I expect defenses to have all kinds of problems stopping this guy, especially when he is one-on-one with a linebacker. The 49ers new offensive coordinator Jim Hostler has made it a point this offseason to focus the offense around Frank Gore and Vernon Davis. Expect 800 yards and 8 touchdowns.  
  
9.07 Merriman, Shawne SDC LB
Jerricho Cotchery is one of the hardest working wide receivers I have seen in some time and I would have loved to get him with this pick. Unfortunately, he was selected so I went with Merriman - he’s a beast. I expect at least 15 sacks this season.  
  
10.06 Jordan, Lamont OAK RB
A couple of years ago Jordan was considered one of the top 10 fantasy football running backs … then he joined the Raiders. I don’t see the offense getting much better this season but it certainly can’t get any worse. This selection was based on acquiring a starting running back in the 10th round - good value.  
  
11.07 Vinatieri, Adam IND PK
Moving into the latter part of the draft I decided to lock up the most consistent kicker in football. He may not be the top point scorer at years end but he will be near the top.   
  
12.06 Dawkins, Brian PHI S
I was targeting S Sean Jones with this pick but he got selected a few picks before me. Dawkins was my #2 guys and I’m happy with the pick because I know what I’m going to get with Dawkins - a consistent tackling machine.  
  
13.07 Bruce, Isaac STL WR
I selected Isaac Bruce with this pick after missing out on Santonio Holmes (who is one of the top up-and-coming receivers in the league). Bruce is on the downside of his career but it’s hard to pass on a guy in the 13th round who resides in the same offense as Marc Bulger, Torry Holt and Steven Jackson.  
  
14.06 Garcia, Jeff TBB QB
Jeff Garcia will provide me with a serviceable backup to Peyton Manning. The nice thing about taking Peyton is his durability - although Tarik Glenn’s retirement does cause some concern.  
  
15.07 Hali, Tamba KCC DE
As a rookie Hali racked up 58 tackles along with 8 quarterback sacks. This guy has a great motor and I expect even more from him in 2008.  
  
16.06 Walker, Mike JAC WR
This was a low risk, high reward pick. Rookie Mike Walker is a big time player who has been flashing his skills throughout training camp. If he can unseat incumbent Reggie Williams, Walker has a chance to be this years Marques Colston. 

I will be writing a follow-up article to this one letting you know which of the other franchises I think did well - and those who didn’t.
