His 22nd, that's not low espically since this is a very good draft class, particually at the top of the draft.

You apparently haven't watched much of Joe Thomas if you think any OT in this draft is above him. He is an elite franchise LT, period. I loved D'Brickashaw Ferguson last year and had him as my #1 prospect (ahead of Bush) for a while. Joe Thomas would've contended D'Brick for the #1 OT, that's how good he is. He has great size and is an excellent pass blocker.And, between Blalock and Baker, it really depends on what a team needs more. Blalock is an amazing run block and a great RT/OG. Sam Baker is a potential franchise LT and very good at pass blocking.

And I dont see how you can say he has great size when hes not even 300. He looks more like a tall linebacker then he does an Offensive Lineman to me IMO.
The guy is 6-8 and has the frame to add on more weight. He plays much bigger than his size though and is a franchise LT.Mock Draft is up. That completes the Preview. The site opens on July 29th and there will be even more then.
Personally, if the Ravens pick up there, I would hope they pick Griffin since they really need a FS and this team is built for 1-2, maybe 3, seasons of Super Bowl runs.

Why do people underrate the Rams! Why do you think we will just completely suck! We upgraded our team A LOT this offseason!

But if he declares I only see him as a late first round pick now (After people like Johnson, Ginn, Jarrett, Samardzija) whereas he could be a top 10 pick or so in the 2008 draft.
To tell you the truth, I don't think Samardzija will be in the NFL in 2007. I think he'll be in the Cubs rotation. He was at the Cubs game today in uniform pitching in the bullpen or something, and I really have a feeling he'll go with baseball instead of football.
I know this is old but why would the vikings draft a tight end? They have Kleinsasser and Wiggins, both very good and proven.
Both are very old as well. Both are over 30 and both are injury prone and neither are elite in my opinion. Olsen has elite potential.Just so everybody knows, the site I work for, NFL Spot, has opened you guys can check out my complete and updated rankings there.

We just signed him to a big contract so he should have 3 or 4 years left in him. Not even close to a top priority right now. Jim Kleinsasser is 29. Not elite but solid. No need to draft a tight end when we have both of these guys here.Oh and about NFLS***... :bigfinger:

Like I've said before, I have no part in this rivalry between Spot and Central, hence the reason why I even post here. I just do my work and quite frankly, I do a great job at it. If your not checking out the most in-depth free draft site on the internet, which is now releasing scouting reports of the top 50 players in the draft, just because a stupid little dispute, then your just an idiot.
