Are we allowed to ammend these between now and the draft?

 

Roman is in da house with his picks:

1. Rams - Bradford
2. Lions - Suh
3. Bucs - McCoy
4. Skins - Okung
5. Chefs - E. Berry
6. Seahawks - D. Morgan
7. Browns - Haden
8. Raiders - B. Campbell
9. Bills - Baluga
10. Jags - D. Bryant
11. Broncos - McClain
12. MIAMI - SERGIO KINDLE,,,,I have CJ Spiller as my darkhorse.

 

Remember how Al Davis had to have Darrius Heyward-Bey a couple years ago early in the first round?...he could have had this WR in Round 2. They also took their kicker (Janikoswki) in Round 1 awhile back....good player but wouldn't he have been around in Round 2, 3, 4, or 5? :yes:

Al is demented. :lol:

 

1. Rams Bradford Rams have needed a young Qb for years
2. Lions Russel Okung Jeff Backus..really?
3. Buccaneers N Suh Good fit for their Tampa Two
4. Redskins T Williams Shanny appreciates Left Tackles
5. KC Chiefs Derrick Morgan anemic passrush
6. Seattle Bryan Baluga Walter Jones retired
7. Cleveland Eric Berry they started Mike Furrey at Safety for goodness sakes
8. Raiders Gerald McCoy BPA
9. Buffalo Jimmy Clausen New HC always wants "his" Qb.
10. Jacksonville Dez Bryant They need more exlposiveness on offense
11. Denver Broncos CJ Spiller McDaniels is a offensive guy
12. Dolphins Sergio Kindle this one is painful, Jason Pierre Paul would fit here, but it would depend on how raw and how immature he is in Ireland's judgment, with Derrick Morgan off the board, and Brandon Graham not fitting the template and Earl Thomas a reach here, it comes down to Kindle or Hughes, and Kindle gained experience under Saban's ex Defensive Guru Will Muschamp.

 

With Jax taking Bryant, and no one throwing money at B Marshal, the odd couple are probably going to stick together for another season.

And Spiller would fit into that weird, Josh McDaniels is slightly off centre thing, recall he gave up a #1 pick this year last yr.

As for McCoy..just thinking that the Lions have poured so much money into Johnson and Stafford that Jeff Backus is not the best security guard for them.

The other thing with McCoy is, only 4 of the first 8 teams are 4-3 teams, and most of them have other needs than DT, a 3-4 team will need to see him as a DE to draft him.

 

1. Rams - Sam Bradford
2. Lions - Gerald McCoy
3. Bucs - Ndamukong Suh
4. Redskins - Joe Haden
5. Cheifs - Russell Okung
6. Seahawks - Eric Berry
7. Browns - Earl Thomas
8. Raiders - Brian Bulaga
9. Bills - Jimmy Clausen
10. Jags - Kyle Wilson

 

If the Dolphins take Kindle, I will puke and then break something.

 

B-U-S-T.
I could be wrong, but it's a gut feeling.

 

Revised after the McNabb trade to Washington. I get the feeling someone is going to make a move on Clausen, but trades are almost impossible to predict. I mean, who the **** would have seen Philly giving a franchise QB to a hated rival for some popcorn?

*denotes original pick

*1. St. Louis (1-15) - Sam Bradford - Rams MUST draft a QB and Bradford appears to be the choice for now.
*2. Detroit (2-14) - Russel Okung - As Padre said, Jeff Backus? Unless they want Stafford to get killed, they NEED to get him some grade A help asap.
*3. Tampa Bay (3-13) - Ndamakong Suh - obvious pick.
4. Washington (4-12) - Trent Williams - With QB secure for a few years, finding protection is a vital necessity.
*5. Kansas City (4-12) - Bryan Bulaga - After investing a smaller nations GDP into Cassell they need to keep him upright and throwing. I thought about throwing Clausen here due to the Weis connection ... but man they really sunk a buttload of cash into Cassell.
*6. Seattle (5-11) - Gerald McCoy - Fantastic value for Seattle. Even PC cant miss this one.
7. Cleveland (5-11) - Jimmy Clausen - Holmgren has made some lukewarm Clausen comments. Possible sceen, possibly truth. But they need a QB badly. Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace are just insults to Cleveland fans.
8. Oakland (5-11) - Joe Haden - This pick is maddening. I debated between Joe Haden, Berry, Taylor Mays and Bruce Campbell. In the end, I figured Haden would be a phenomenal complement to Asomougha. Campbell is a bit to raw for this spot, and Safety just isnt a big need.
*9. Buffalo (6-10) - Dan Thomas - With the best of the LTs and both top QBs gone, the Bills satisfy the need for the NT to their new 3-4.
*10. Jacksonville (7-9) - Earl Thomas - I almost went with DMorgan here. Even with Kampman they could still use insurance and someone on the opposite side. But their passing defense was terrible, and when you face Manning and Schaub you need better.
*11. Denver - from Chicago^ (7-9) - Rolando McClain - Until Marshall is unloaded I wont give Denver Bryant. In the meantime, McClain makes a ton of sense as a running mate to DJ Williams.
*12. Miami (7-9) - Dez Bryant - For the love of all thats holy, do NOT PASS ON DEZ IF HE FALLS!

 

Oh sure, but which team?

If McCoy goes past the Lions the Raiders are the next 4-3 team with a clear need at DT.

TX has Seattle taking him, the problem with that is the "top" tackles will be off the board before they draft again in the midteens, if they wish to replace Walter Jones they do it at #6, or reach for a tackle in at #16 or take a longshot prospect like Vandeheer in the 3rd or Carrol's fmr player Brown.

 

No joke, I'm right there with you. :lol:

 

I am a little confused about Kindle. Maylock, Pro football weekly and draftscout .com all seem to think that he is amid first round talent. I have followed the draft for several years and all these sources seem to be at least decent. But our own Draft Guru Boomer and CK who I think are both very good and seem to watch a lot of film, do not seem to like him. I tend to prefer Boomer and Ck because they really zero in on what the Fins need. I just cannt see what is wrong with Kindle ,I know he is not a great run defender. Maybe someone can tell me what the main beef with a Kindle is. You could well be right I am just having a hard time figuring what is wrong with him. Thanks

 

this.

 

You've seen a lot of Kindle, haven't you? Didn't you say you lived in Texas?

 

yeah, but Im not a huge ut fan so I haven't watched him a lot.

 

Kindle is this drafts Vernon Gholston.

 

Wow. Gholston has NO football instincts. 2 years ,0 sacks 0 forced fumbles. You would think by accident he could have gotten a sack or forced fumble.

 

Gholston has no brain. You'd think by now he'd figure out how to use his hands in some way.

 

Kindle's football instincts aren't much better.

You don't have to read the article if you don't want to, just watch the video in comparison to other OLB's we have up. Kindle is not going to play SOLB under Nolan's scheme IMHO.

I just can't see that.

 

Great article, I actually read it when it first came out. I reread it watching the video trying to see what Richard was pointing out in the video. I never played organized football so i dont know what to really look for but I could see what he was saying . The part where Lamar Huston DT looked better changing direction then Kindle really stuck me as a problem for a LB. My only problem with a OLB at 12 is Parcells has a size prototype and he learned it off of George Young old Gm for the giants. And Parcells passed it to Ireland I remember doing mocks in the early 1980s George Young loved DE and LBrs, but you could cross off everyone under 6-3. someone I think they might like is E Griffen but 12 is to high. I could be way off though, I was wrong last year I was totally shocked when they took V Davis even though they needed a CB.

 

Would be a very interesting start to the draft if Detroit went the LT route. I just see McCoy as to great a value to pass on for Seattle - both lines are huge areas of need. There may still be LTs available at 14 too. Slight reach possibly, but thats never stopped teams before. Anthony Davis, Charles Brown, Bruce Campbell could all be in that range. Hell, they can even check into Iupati or Pouncey. That team is in bad shape. Age and injuries caught them very hard. IMO they need to just draft BPA for a year or two to replace talent.

 

I don't think so Tx, we are talking tens of millions here, they are not going to just throw money around, they essentially have the #1 pick in the draft so why go DT with even more tens of millions on CJ and Stafford?

How good would a DT have to be to be worth 35 million dollars guaranteed ontop of the 70 million or more they have in guaranteed money to CJ and Stafford?

I'll give Martin Mayhew some credit, he is very professional, and LT at #2 when there will not be a similar talent availble in the 30's makes more sense.

As for the seachickens, Pete Carrol is a newbie, that makes it harder to predict which way they will go, but Dan Williams makes more sense at #16 for the seachickens than ignoring LT at #6 does.

 

1. Bradford
2. Suh
3. McCoy
4. Okung
5. Berry
6. Spiller
7. Haden
8. Bulaga
9. T. Williams
10. Bryant
11. McClain
12. Morgan

 

Either my post was confusing or I misunderstood yours heh - I think the Lions go with Okung. Considering how much Stafford alone makes, they absolutely CANNOT afford to have him get hit as much as he did last year. The injury was a somewhat flukey play, but overall he took a pouding. Now that they play 6 games against Jared Allen, Clay Matthews (both of whom abused Backus like a rented mule) and now Peppers ... ugh.

Its the Seahawks that I think will be hard pressed to pass on a talent like McCoy at 6th overall. Considering their defense is in bad shape as well as the offense, they should be going BPA and I think that would be McCoy. I would say that they will not start Whitehurst this year so they may be able to affo rd taking a guy like Campbell at 14 andletting him develop for a year, or take a Spiller and add some explosiveness.

At least the front of the draft is starting to look pretty interesting considering how it had been seeming not that long ago. :up:

 

1 ST. LOUIS RAMS - QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma
2 DETROIT LIONS - LT Russell Okung, Oklahoma State
3 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS - DT Ndamukong Suh, Nebraska
4 WASHINGTON REDSKINS - QB Jimmy Clausen, Notre Dame
5 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS - FS Eric Berry, Tennessee
6 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS - DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma
7 CLEVELAND BROWNS - CJ Spiller, Clemson
8 OAKLAND RAIDERS - OT Trent Williams, Oklahoma
9 BUFFALO BILLS - OT Brian Bulaga, Iowa
10 JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS - NT Dan Williams, Tennessee
11 DENVER BRONCOS - ILB Rolando McClain, Alabama
12 MIAMI DOLPHINS - OLB Jason Pierre-Paul, South Florida

1 - The Rams cannot afford to pass up another franchise QB. Bradford is their guy.

2 - The Lions need to protect their guy so Okung is the pick.

3 - Suh falls to the Bucs who could not be happier.

4 - The Redskins need a left tackle and a QB. They will have to settle for Clausen or Bulaga. Somebody could try and trade up for McCoy but I could not find a partner. Time runs out and the 'skins go with the QB.

5 - I suspect the Chiefs are happy with Brandon Albert at left tackle. Don't see how they pass up Eric Berry. However if they do he could fall all the way to the Dolphins.

6 - McCoy falls to the Seahawks and they are even happier than the Bucs.

7 - The Browns gain an identity and an ability to score points in one fell swoop.

8 - With the top two quarterbacks off the board Al Davis finally takes a much needed left tackle.

9 - The Bills finally find a replacement for Jason Peters.

10 - The Jags are converting to a 3-4 and they need a nose tackle. Plus the big man in the middle will help their pass rush.

11 - The Broncos need to keep improving that defense. McClain answers a lot of problems for them.

12 - The Dolphins go with BPA.

 

FYI
11. Broncos - Dez Bryant
12. Dolphins - Derrick Morgan

 

Taking an unproven player of limited intelligence over a stud at a true need position makes no sense to me. In other words, JPP over Dez Bryant is ludicrous.

 

One problem Big Red. Jason Pierre Paul isn't the best player available. Dez Bryant is.

 

Jason Pierre-Paul is a risk but so is Dez Bryant. If Parcells and Ireland draft Bryant I will not have a problem with it. They certainly have more access than me. However after that Pro Day and the drama associated with it I am guessing they will pass even if he is still on the board.

 

You said Best Player Available. Pierre Paul is not better than Dez Braynt. That's our point.

 

If Dez Bryant is a diva, takes plays off, and cannot get separation because he is too slow then he is not better than Jason Pierre-Paul. At his Pro Day scouts were annoyed that Bryant did not finish drills. His best forty was 4.52 which is a little slow for a Top 15 receiver. What is more concerning is his short shuttle. It should have been around 4.08 but he ran it in 4.48. This excuse that he did not have his favorite cleats is ridiculous. Suspended last year. Injured at the Combine. Dez Bryant is not making a case for BPA.

 

The only thing JPP has on Dez Bryant is combine and Pro Day Numbers. Put in the tape, and compare both players. It isn't even close. Dez Bryant is clearly head and shoulders above JPP.

I'm loving this. Everyone swears Dez Bryant is a diva. It's only going to make the possibility of him dropping to us higher.
