The others are pretty funny too, unanimously counting Millen and Davis as consistent culprits.

Looking at it this year? I think the Raiders can do some dumb things. They already overpaid for DHall (overrated). Will they follow it up by taking the most overrated prospect in McFad? We will see.
The Bengals ... The whole Chad Johnson debacle is just insane and may cause them to blow their first on a guy like Devin Thomas or Malcom Kelly. What a joke, neither of those guys would match what CJ can bring to a game.
The Lions are always an interesting pick. Maybe a WR again?
Best teams? I think we will have a good draft. Atlanta and Baltimore can do some good as well i think.azfinfanmang and alen1 like this. -
I also believe the Raiders will screw up if they take DMAC. If they choose Ellis, than we will have to see the rest of the draft.
The Bengals are reportedly interested in Kelly like you said which is a joke. Kelly is a good player and a top talent but they have so many needs right now, they need to address defense big time.
The Lions could trade up with the Patriots to try and select Matt Ryan.
The best teams I think will be Dolphins and Falcons. Falcons have seven picks in the first 103 picks I believe, I think they will do fine with them. -

Ellis Story:
Unless Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan is available when the Ravens go on the clock for the eighth overall pick in the NFL draft, general manager Ozzie Newsome and director of college scouting Eric DeCosta will be faced with an age-old dilemma. Do they choose for need or do they select the most talented player left on their draft board?In other words, is Southern California defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis too good to pass up? Though it seems unlikely, it shouldn't be a shock if the Ravens take Ellis

Always bank on Arizona...like betting the pass line...:hi5:

i think the raiders will be a huge **** up basing this on how i dont think al davis is what you would call sane these days

Can you imagine the Jests trading away what would probably be their 2nd and a 4th or 5th for this kid?alen1 likes this. -
In the end, I thanked you. Lol.
I agree that McDad is going to be a huge bust if relied on to be a full time back.If he is expected to be a complimentary back as an early draft choice, than that team has drafting issues imo. You dont select a complimentary back at the top of the draft. He could have an impact but again, too early for a "complimentary" back.azfinfanmang likes this. -
The Jets are usually good for a screwball pick or three. They might draft another kicker in the second round....

I'll go with the KC Chiefs...Carl Peterson and Herm Edwards with all those draft picks...something is bound to go horribly wrong.

Take it easy people.
If you asked teams who "blew the draft" last year a lot of teams would have said us. Looking back on our draft I think it was at least better than average.
Lets examine the draft after it happens, not before. -

As far as the Chiefs...well I'll just say a little payback for the Green fiasco wouldn't cause me to lose any sleep. :lol:alen1 likes this. -

Even though we're done at 1... I'm still excited as ever about the draft on Saturday... hate the late start though, might actually have to do some "work" Saturday morning... for the first time in forever, I can say I accomplished something on the weekend of the draft... lame!
But to go thru every team's pick ahead of us at 32, it's almost like we're the SuperBowl champions with that pick... -
yeah i still cant wait for the draft
there is still so many unanswered questions like will jason be traded? will the phins draft a qb?
also we still have what is in reality a 1st round pick at 32 -

A rare occurrence in the last 40 years and purely in spite of themselves, the Jets may not have an opportunity to **** up their 1st-round selection this draft.
Long will make the Jets a much better team. -
The occasional - and I do mean occasional - OJ McDuffie aside (Marino was a pure, providential fluke), 1st-rounders under Shula, Johnson, Wannstedt, Saban and Mueller-Cameron have been dismal on the whole.
Unless you think that the way to rebuild a horrible team was to select a small Returner who might be a great WR, over Patrick Willis and a kid who could be a franchise QB.
Hmmm...let's see...franchise WR or franchise LB/QB...
:wink2: -
Im thinking the Bengals are a huge fav. to screw up this draft like many others.....I remember laughing at all my buddies(Bungle fans) when they drafted Chris Perry when the offense was top 3 in the league and the defense as always near the bottom.
I thought Marvin Lewis was some sorta defensive guru??? This franchise is gonna waste Carson Palmer's career with bad personell decisions. -
-
You cant blame those guys for not drafting Willis.....we were pretty stacked at LB and obviously nobody knew he was gonna be that good.
That "small returner" has the potential to be a great Wr...and that "franchise Qb" wont be seeing the field for a long time. :up: -

See, I believe that the Jets will be on the board, possibly looking at both Chris Long and Glenn Dorsey...and choose Darren McFadden! :sidelol:
I really do! I believe they would look at that board and pick the RB...or worse still - Matt Ryan!
:sidelol: :sidelol: :sidelol: -
Frankly i find it tough to doubt his football acumen based on the "Hes got chicken legs" defense many people seem to be riding these days. yes, his greatest strength is his open field speed, but hes also good at finding creases and picking up yards where there are none. Part of his success is due to the fact he hits the hole hard and fast. I think fifteen years from now hes a HOFER in someones uniform and I damn well hope its not a Jet one.
I doubt they'll be looking at Dorsey, cant see him getting past Atlanta. They badly need an inside run presence and he fits well. I think Oakland will take Howies kid or if hes there Dorsey. They can then look to trade Burgess for a pick or player.
IMO the Jets will be looking at Ryan, McFadden, maybe Gholston if KC goes with a OL or some surprise pick, and will choose McFadden ultimately. -
But no way, no how I take a Runner with the 3rd pick. Running Backs simply aren't important enough to the overall game to take that high, and you can get decent backs all the way down in the draft.
But ESPECIALLY when you've got talents like Dorsey and Long staring you in the face like I posited.
