Madden Mock Draft picks 6-8

Posted April 1st, 2008 at 1:40 pm

We’ve now reached the point in the Madden Mock Draft where the players start to get a little more bunched together in terms of their potential overall ratings. Drafting for team need or based on specific skills and rating categories becomes even more of a focus. Continue on to view the picks for the Jets, Patriots, and Ravens.

#6 New York Jets – Vernon Gholston – DE – Ohio State

McFadden would’ve been the choice here had he not been taken already so Gholston becomes the next best fit. Could’ve also gone with offensive line help although no one would’ve stood out enough at this pick. Gholston can play the DE or OLB in their 3-4 defense. Ratings wise he should end up around an 82.

#7 New England Patriots – Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie – CB – Tennessee State

Losing Asante Samuel and Randall Gay makes CB the obvious need for the Patriots in the draft. The choice came down to Rodgers-Cromartie or Leodis McKelvin. Both should have overalls in the 80-82 range as that is how EA graded out the mid-first round CBs last year. RC gets the nod due to having an edge in height and speed.

#8 Baltimore Ravens – DeSean Jackson – WR- California

While getting a QB would be a good move for the Ravens it really wouldn’t offer much of an upgrade over any of the ones already on the roster in Madden. So DeSean Jackson comes in with the most immediate Madden potential in a way comparable to Ted Ginn Jr. from last year. Initial rating likely around an 80 but with great speed that can be utilized on offense as well as in the return game.

Do you agree with selections 6-8? Coming in the next few days look the next group! You can check out all the picks in the mock draft by visiting the tag page.

DeSean Jackson at 8? I don’t think the Ravens will make the same mistake the Dolphins made last year.

These picks are based on potential impact in Madden, not a prediction of who teams will take in the actual draft.

I would love for the Pats to pick up DRC, I don’t know if any of you read what happened at the Senior Bowl, but after the first day of practice QBs stopped throwing to his side. He has incredible potential, maybe one day he can be as good as Champ?

McKelvin will be the next deion sanders,,,,mark down those words. Best corner prospect in years imo. If he can learn to catch the ball he’d have double digit picks. His anticipation /break on the ball is the best that i have seen since the deion days.

As a Jets Fan, I know 100% for a fact that we will NOT draft Gholston.

LOL, and I’m a Jets fan, too, and pretty well versed in my team needs. Why can’t I make awesome guarantees like that?

Also, guys, again… This is a Madden draft, as in Pasta is picking the guys that will make the most impact in Madden; he’s not projecting what each team will do in real life.

Pasta, You don’t think glen dorsey should be in the top 8? He could be the number one pick but you don’t think he could crack your top 8??? Odd. I think you probably forgot about him. I was a college defensive tackle and seeing him play truly inspired me because he was so dominant. I know for a fact his dominance will progress over to the nfl.

Also Cromartie-Rogers shouldn’t even be in the top ten. I’ve seen him play before and he was getting burnt consistenly by recievers that weren’t D-1 caliber. He has good size and speed but he lacks awareness and play making skills. Speed and size only doesn’t usually translate into greatness on madden.

I’ll explain my thinking behind that when I have him taken by a team coming up.

Lol, adjusting my thought process on basis of Madden impact; should have paid more attention.

Agree on Jets: Gholston [low 80s] opposite Ellis and now with Kris Jenkins would be big impact Madden-wise.

Agree on Pats: CBs, CBs, CBs. RC. But it will be close pickings with about 4 CBs rated as first-rounders.

Ravens: McNair started at 85; Now an 83. He’s 34 years old & rehabbing. Retirement time. Matt Ryan, coming in around 82 or 83, would be a Madden-uptick over Boller [78].
