NFL Draft Time!

[rrfield]

Is anyone else looking forward to the draft? I am, but I'm certainly an NFL rube so go figure.

Here's my predicted top 10.

1. HOU - Reggie Bush
2. NO - D'Brickashaw Fegurson
3. TEN - Matt Leinart
4. NYJ - Mario Williams
5. GB - Vernon Davis
6. SF - AJ Hawk
7. OAK - Vince Young
8. BUF - Brodrick Bunkley
9. DET - Michael Huff
10. ARZ - Jay Cutler

I'm thinking New Orleans might trade with the Jets, rumor has it the Jets are hot for Leinart, and the 'Aints would still have their pick of either D'Brick or Mario Williams at #4 (predicting Tenn would then take Vince Young).

As for the Vikings, my best guess is a linebacker. My preference, in order would be Chad Greenway, Bobby Carpenter, Ernie Sims. If Cutler were to fall to #17 the Vikes would grab him. If Cutler and Greenway are both gone, I woudlnt be surprised to see a trade with Atlanta for Matt Schaub, though I think a first round pick is too much to give up for a backup QB.

Will be glued to the TV tomorrow at noon...and my only hope is that NO does NOT pick Leinart over Young if they pick a QB.

 

[rrfield]

I really think NO would be best served trading down and grabbing an offenseive lineman, but the trick is finding someone to trade down with.

 

[tonksy]

I agree with you...but you know how teams can be in love with the QB pick. I just don't think that Leinart would be a good fit over Young. I would love to see D'brickhouse Ferguson go there.

As I've said many times before... the Texans should draft Bush first, then spend the whole rest of the draft on offensive linemen.

 

[unclehobart]

The Jets will blow their first pick on a kicker... because... well... they're the Jets. the Jets cannot help but make a bonehead draft choice. Its in their nature.

i'll check up on it from time to time while at work tomorrow. i am curious to see if NE gets Carpenter.

 

[Slim Pickens]

Apparently, if the Saints can't trade out of it, they will probably go with Ferguson

 

[rrfield]

...what if the Texans go retarded and draft Mario Williams? Do the 'aints take Bush, especially considering Deuce is hurt bad? I would in a second.

 

[Slim Pickens]

That has been listed as a possible scenario, but apparently the Texans are definitely taking Bush...but, if he is still there, I think the Saints would have several teams scrambling for the #2

Guess what?

 

[rrfield]

yup.

Messes up my dadgum top ten...

I'd like to see m'Bucs get smart and go TE early, then O line and secondary. The steal of the draft is that guy from like Northern Iowa , QB with the unpronouncable name. He'll be there tomorrow and he'll make somebody a starter in about three years. Brookenhoffer or something...

 

[Slim Pickens]

Where do they pick, SnP? Will that one TE (sorry, can't remember, Clemson or NC State) still be around? Have the Saints traded their pick yet?

I'm trying to figure out who you are talking about (as the Vikes need a QB)....

I can not believe they passed over Leinart with their QB situation.
