NFL Draft Thread-Your teams pick?

[fishnfla]

I think the Packers are gonna go for a DT or DE-'prolly Tubbs, Starks or Dockett. Jason Babin DE.

outside chances-WR Lee Evans or QB Losman (funny name)

[hellboy]

1. Bears #14

Bears will go with that WR from Wisconsin or Wilfork if he's available.

[trumad]

2. Please note that my Canes

have 6 going in the 1st round.... They had 5 last year... NFL U

[fishnfla]

11. Hey trumad, what about your *hero* ,Wanny?

<ducks flying projectiles>
Who is he gonna pick?

love your sig line BTW

[trumad]

41. My hero...

perhaps you haven't visited my web page for awhile...

[Champ]

16. I think they may get Tommie Harris

Just another name Im throwing in the ring. I don't think Lee Evans will go that high, he's good it's just that I don't think he'll fall that high. But hey, I could be wrong.

[LTR]

3. Vikings

http://www.startribune.com/stories/510/4740214.html

The Vikings appear set to take the same tack this year, beginning with their No. 19 overall pick in the first round. The team has compiled a list of 24 players it deems worthy of that selection, a group that includes linebackers Jonathan Vilma (371 tackles in three years) and D.J. Williams, defensive linemen Will Smith (21 career sacks), Kenechi Udeze (28 career sacks) and Tommie Harris, and offensive linemen Shawn Andrews and Vernon Carey.

It is believed the Vikings' progression through that wish list will begin with linebackers and move on to the defensive linemen. If all five of those players have been selected -- and many observers project they will be -- the Vikings will move on to either Andrews or Carey, with Carey perhaps holding an edge if both are still available.

Although they have no need for an immediate starter along the offensive line, the Vikings eventually must find a successor for right guard David Dixon. Depth is also a question mark.

In a draft deep in wide receivers, meanwhile, the Vikings might be tempted in the first round. But they have recently shied away from the one most likely to be available at No. 19, Washington's Reggie Williams.



Some idiot from CBS Sportsline actually thinks the Vikings will draft a RB. Must not know anything about football, since they have three RBs already that are starter caliber. Here it is, good for a laugh:

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/story/7270021

19. Minnesota -- Kevin Jones, RB, Virginia Tech. The Vikes addressed corner with the signing of Antoine Winfield. That allows them to go after backfield help in the first round.



Keep in mind, this year's draft is thin at RB.

[Champ]

17. Kevin Jones doesn't make since

Michael Bennett is pretty good.

[LTR]

19. Not to mention...

Moe Williams and Onterrio Smith.

Any of the three could be a highly effective starter in the NFL.

They are stacked at that position.

[mouse7]

4. I have not idea how the top six will go

Between the Chargers/Manning soap opera and Oakland picking high, who the hell knows what will happen. Nobody on this Earth or any other Earth can guess what Al Davis might draft. Could be a lineman, could be a punter or a long snapper.

The Redskins will take Gainey if he's there. Gibbs loves his Hogs. I doubt Gainey will make it to them, though.

[Faygo Kid]

6. You mean Robert Gallery?

Don't know who "Gainey" is.

[mouse7]

7. You're right.

I don't know where I got Gainey from. Probably some form of hallucination caused not having my coffee yet.

[Zech Marquis]

5. Raiders, please take Roy Williams or Fritzgerald

OR, trade with NE for their 2 picks, get like Evans and a QB--Reggie Williams from Washington, Lee Evans (wow he's made a great comback from his injury)..the Qb--I saw him in the USA Today Drafy section--he could be a steal.

Meanwhile, those Patriots are just living right! getting Corey Dillion and 2 1st round picks to play with...and they were already loaded!

[Faygo Kid]

8. LIons: Roy Williams, Winslow or Taylor - or trade down

I think that, unlike last year, there are going to be a lot of trades made on draft day. Should be fun!

[LTR]

23. Think they'll make a play for a RB?

They're hurtin' for one. Badly.

[Faygo Kid]

28. Lots of rumors about Steven Jackson

I think he's not worthy of a number 6 overall. They might trade down, depending on who is available when it's their turn to pick, acquire another pick and take Jackson.

[Twillig]

40. what are the rumors?

I'm interested to hear them.

I sure hope he doesn't go to Detroit at #6.

[Catch22Dem]

9. Chiefs - A good target for Green (Fitzgerald)

And perhaps someone to back up Priest Holmes. Priest is the SHIT!!!!!

[mouse7]

10. Am I going to have to hear "Band of Brothers" theme for whole draft?

Yes, Pat Tillman's death is tragic. That said, if they are going to be talking about it THIS MUCH, either borrow a news talking head from ABC to do it or get Al Micheals on the draft desk to do the story. Micheals has been forced to cover hard news in the past, and done well with it. Chris Berman is about to start nicknaming coalition generals, and if I have to hear Mel Kiper, Jr. doing Tillman hard news coverage, my brand new TV is going to be flying out a bay window.

[Cush]

12. agree

When do they start talking about all the other soldiers who have been killed?

[Cush]

13. Big Question: Will Bush make a guest appearance?

Like will he do the introduction or something?

[mouse7]

14. Let Bush introduce Eli Manning's contract holdout.

Greedy bastard that is only getting attention and fame because of family connections and is attempting to overturn the rules to enter the job.

Sounds like Eli is Dumbya's kind of guy.

[Champ]

15. Denver Broncos

Steven Jackson(if he falls) or Kevin Jones, Jonathan Vilma, Randy Starks, Rashaun Woods, DJ Williams are players they'll possible look at in the 1st round. 2nd Round-Bo Schobel, maybe Donatarrious Thomas, Karlos Dansby, or Michael Boulware if two things happen. They don't get an OLB in the first round and either one of the three happens to fall, and available wrs and rbs. 3rd round-Ahmad Childress, Brandon Kennedy, DeMarco McNiel, Rodney Leisle, Tatum Bell if he falls(they may get him in the 2nd). 4th round-Brandon Johnson, Bernard Barrien, Kris Wilson, Jeff Smoker(Denver needs a backup), Keary Kolbert. 5th round-I strongly wish they'd get Clarence Moore, Robert Kent, Maurice Mann, actually I have no idea who'd they look at in the 5th, 6th, and 7th. On note these are players they'll probaly strongly look at and maybe pick, most of these will probaly be gone when Denver's pick rolls around.

[LTR]

20. Broncos should definitiely get a RB

Hearst is pretty fragile, and the Broncos have always been good with young RB talent.

Without an effective running game, Denver will be awful.

[Champ]

21. I agree

[LTR]

22. Let me chime in and say I thought the Portis trade was stupid

I don't care how good Champ Bailey is. Trading away your stud RB when there is a scarcity of top-notch RBs in both the league and this year's draft is dangerous.

Besides, as good as Bailey is, there were some decent CBs available in free agency. Portis single-handedly won games. Has Champ?

[VermontDem2004]

25. Let me chime in

They also got an early 2nd round pick. With the NFL draft having one of the biggest talents I ever seen they are getting Champ and a good player(who can be great) for a great Running Back they got with a 2nd round pick. If they get Steven Jackson or Kevin Jones I consider Denver upgraded. Any back Denver plugged in they had success, Quintin Griffin last year, MA, and Orlandis Gary in the past. As far as I know Portis single handedly won the game at Oakland, all the other games he definately had help. The Broncos went 5 games without Plummer and went 1-4, Portis was in 4 those. He certainly didn't singlehandedly win those games. Champ can shut down one side of the field and Denver's secondary was just plain awful, now with the additions of him and John Lynch I consider Denver's secondary very solid. But with a back like Steven Jackson, Tatum Bell, or Kevin Jones I consider the team very upgraded. I heard that Steven Jackson was a guy Mike Shannohan really coveted.

[LTR]

27. But can they get him?

Detroit and Dallas are hurting for RB, along with a few other teams.

This year is pretty thin for RB talent.

And Quentin Griffin is no substitute for Clinton Portis. Olandis Gary is so-so, and Mike Anderson can't carry the running game.

If they draft someone like Jackson and he succeeds, then I stand corrected.

[Champ]

44. There is also

Michael Turner, Greg Jones, and Tatum Bell who would succeed with Denver.

[Cush]

18. Redskins: Taylor, Winslow, or possibly Gallery

[Faygo Kid]

29. Gallery won't be there at five - no way.

[Cush]

32. true

It will most likely be Taylor or Winslow

[fishnfla]

24. Does anyone think we'll see alot of trades made in the first round?

I think there will be some moves early on.

[LTR]

26. This draft is going to be wild

Very unpredictable. Lots of teams trying to trade down.

Still no word on what the Chargers will do.

[Faygo Kid]

30. Last year was quiet - not this year.

I will be shocked if we don't see a lot of trades, and the usual number of surprise picks. It will be fun.

[mouse7]

31. It begins.

Here we go.

[Cush]

33. the Mannings just got booed

[LTR]

34. I saw that!

They hadled this thing very poorly. Eli looked really bad when Philip Rivers said in interviews that he doesn't care who takes him - he just wants to play.

[LTR]

35. Booed again!

And this by New York fans.

[Cush]

36. Boo'ed everytime the name is said

[mouse7]

37. Yep... Commish give tribute of Tillman, and then we see Eli

The comparison of the hero and the spoiled brat couldn't be more stark.

[LTR]

38. SD takes Manning!

Will there be a quick trade?

[Cush]

39. boo birds are out

and the chants are

"Eli sucks!"

"Wear the hat!"

[LTR]

42. The Mannings look pissed!

[Cush]

43. he wouldnt' even look up

[mouse7]

45. The Tillman story undercut all the Manning family plans

Eli and the Mannings thought they were going to to walk into the draft room and own the place. Instead, Tillman got killed. Suddenly, real character in a person was shown, and a cry-baby spoiled jock is shown for what they really are.

[LTR]

46. Oakland gets Gallery

It's a given Fitzgerald goes to the Cards next.

On edit: Gallery looks like a Raider. A match made.

[mouse7]

47. Crap.

I really would have liked to see Gallery the leader of the HOGS 2 line for the Skins. Oh well.

[Cush]

50. I'm hoping the Skins get Taylor

[LTR]

53. I hope Dan Snyder goes bankrupt

But that's just my opinion.

[mouse7]

55. That would work for me

Anything to make that dimwit sell the team.

[mouse7]

54. I don't want Winslow

Similar mess with Winslow and his dad as with Eli Manning.

[Champ]

48. I agree

Fitzgerald is Dennis Green's boy anyways. He was a ball boy for the Minnesota Vikes when Green was there. Plus Fitzgerald, Boldin, and Johnson sounds like an awesome trio.

[LTR]

52. That will be dangerous

Plus, McCown is not a bad QB with a little practice.

Denny's offenses are very QB-friendly. He made Jeff George look good.

[LTR]

49. ROTF! Great draft hat ad!

Manning pokes fun at himself.

[Cush]

51. Chargers? Giants? Chargers? Giants?

[LTR]

56. Denny grabs Fitz

No surprise there...

[Champ]

57. Fitzgerald!!!!!

Cardinals vs Broncos Super Bowl next year!!!! (I wish )

[LTR]

58. Will the Giants trade with SD?

We shall find out.

Exciting draft so far.

[Champ]

59. I agree

I have no idea who New York would pick.

[Cush]

60. Giants take Rivers

[Cush]

61. Redskins up: We want Taylor! We want Taylor!!!

Winslow souldn't be bad, but they help on D

[mouse7]

63. We got Taylor.

[Cush]

64. Woooo!!!!!

[Champ]

62. Detriot's on the clock

Please don't draft Jackson please Detriot. *crosses fingers*

[Twillig]

69. Amen!

n/t

[Champ]

72. Again!

[Champ]

75. YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jackson is still available.

[LTR]

65. HOLY SHIT!!! SD cleans house in trade!!!

Manning for Rivers

3rd this year, 1st and 5th next year.

Damn!

[mouse7]

66. Good for the Chargers!

They got their QB and a whole lot more.

[Champ]

67. Im just glad Manning isn't in the AFC West

[Catholic Sensation]

68. San Deigo really improved themselves

I saw Phillip Rivers play many times, in fact I'm wearing his jersey right now, and he's fucking amazing.

[fishnfla]

70. I totally agree Rivers is the bomb....WHAT!?!?

What "chu talking 'bout, Willis?

[Champ]

71. "The Soldier" is a Brown!!!

[mouse7]

73. Winslow isn't big enough to be a star NFL TE

Winslow will make catches, but he's going to get eaten alive by pro DEs. He will not be able to help block NFL DEs.

[Champ]

74. He's about the same size as Shannon Sharpe

[neoteric lefty]

78. Is it me or is Winslow overrated

he is a great reciever but a top 10 pick... no way! I can see that Butch Davis would want to draft someone he recruited in college but I think Winslow is a mid-first pick. Hell, he wasn't even the best TE in college last year. Ben Troupe had more production and less hassle.

[mouse7]

76. What's with the tablecloth Roy Williams is wearing?

Joey Harrington has Roy Williams and Charles Rogers? Woooooow.

Lions get a mid 2nd rounder, too. That should get them a solid RB to go with Williams.

[Champ]

77. I think Reggie Williams will be taken here

[Champ]

80. Hahaha predicted it

I'm smart

[neoteric lefty]

81. JAX took Reggie Williams

I'm not too sure but I guess b/c Mike Williams was booted out of the draft, this guy moved up and JAX definitely needs a WR.

[mouse7]

79. ATL - DeAngelo Hall CB n/t

[wyldwolf]

82. one analyst: He's Deon Sanders reincarnated

[mouse7]

89. Hall can and will tackle people

Hall has more heart than Sanders

[wyldwolf]

90. a bonus, then!

[Mattforclark]

83. Cowboys

I want a running back Preferably Steven Jackson, if such a miracle occurs.

[Twillig]

86. I gotta wonder what the jets are gonna do.

would they go for a running back?

Then there is the 49'ers does Erickson have enough rope left and pull to pick his recruit?

I still thing the best prospect for SJ to do well is Denver. I hope they get him.

[Champ]

88. Me too Twillig

As a Broncos fan of course I want SJ to come to the Mile High City.

[Mattforclark]

91. But Jackson wants to come to Dallas

bwahaha

You can have Jones instead, please.

[Champ]

93. Why would a dem want to join an obvious republican's team?

[Mattforclark]

94. Cuz...

http://www.foxsports.com/content/view?contentId=2343766

BALLOU: "How excited will you be if the Dallas Cowboys select you?"

JACKSON: "I would be extremely excited. Dallas is America's Team, and if you're an American, you've got to be a fan. I would be extremely happy because Coach Bill Parcells is a Hall of Fame coach and I would love to learn the game from him and I think he would help me for many years to come."

BALLOU: "If you do go to Dallas and you get to endorse something in Dallas, what one thing in Dallas would you like to endorse?"

JACKSON: "Cowboy boots. It would be something different. Not only does it represent the state of Texas, but it represents the Cowboys, and if you're going to be a Cowboy, you have to have a pair of spurs on."

[Champ]

95. What else is he going to say?

Of course he is going to say nice things but seriously I'm sure any player would love to play for Parcells.

[Mattforclark]

84. Steelers are up...

they will pick Roethlisberger...

[Mattforclark]

92. ooh

I am a psychic!

[neoteric lefty]

85. Who else hates JETS fans???

J-E-T-S jets, jets, oh shutup!

[Twillig]

87. J-E-T-S!

SUCK SUCK SUCK!

[Champ]

96. Im afraid Steven Jackson will be picked here

Come on just two more picks! *crosses fingers again*

[Cush]

97. Bucs take: Mike Clayton, WR LSU

[Champ]

98. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Catholic Sensation]

99. espn said denver won't take jackson

[Champ]

100. I don't give a shit

[Twillig]

104. OMG!

TAKE HIM, TAKE HIM!!

[Cush]

101. ESPN also said that the Skins would likely take Winslow

Their reporter at the Skins Camp said he talked with the team and that they were leaning towards Winslow. Of course, they took Taylor (WOOOO!!!!)

Teams are blowing smkoe right now, no one is going to say who they are picking

[Champ]

102. Fuck

Philadelphia is going to the Super Bowl.

[Champ]

103. WHAT THE FUCK?

Shawn Andrews!!! A god does exist!

[Cush]

105. Philly takes Shawn ANdrews, OT Arkansas

[Mattforclark]

107. Why on earth did they do that???

makes no sense to me...

[mvd]

121. I think they might have been drafting for two years from now

When they dump Runyan. That's not the way to do it in the first round, IMO. McNabb could use better protection than he's had, though, so I'm holding out hope.

[Champ]

106. Broncos! Broncos! Broncos!

[Twillig]

110. I give up.

gonna get some beer.

Prolly gonna have to be a cowboy fan.

[Champ]

113. Get me some everclear

lol kidding, but DJ Williams is not the guy I wanted.

[Champ]

124. Looks like you can put the beer down

[Catholic Sensation]

111. DJ WILLIAMS DJ WILLIAMS

WOOOO

[Mattforclark]

112. Take D.J. Williams...

outside linebacker

sorry, ... sorta

now NO ONE BEFORE DALLAS TAKE JACKSON!

[Champ]

108. NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Oh well DJ Williams is good.

[Cush]

109. Broncos take DJ Williams, LB U Miami

[Catholic Sensation]

114. the saints are gettin jiggy with it

figured i'd get the ball rolling on this since we'll hear this until the guy retires

[maveric]

115. Fuck Manning! He's better be a golden boy in NY or the media and fans will

eat him alive.

[Mattforclark]

116. As long as Minnesota doesn't take Jackson

I think Dallas has him

Miami has Ricky Williams and New England just traded for Corey Dillon, so there's no way either of those will pick an RB!

[Cush]

117. Vikings beat the clock!!!!!

take Kenechi Udeze, DE, USC

[Champ]

118. I can't believe I waited 3 hours for this shit

[Mattforclark]

119. There's already an article saying the cowboys picked jackson and they

haven't even picked him yet!!!!

http://story.theinsiders.com/a.z?s=25&p=2&c=254374

[Mattforclark]

120. Cowboys are up.... !

Jackson! Pick Jackson! Hurry up!

[Champ]

122. Traded!!!!

[Mattforclark]

123. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh!

[fishnfla]
