I think Eric Winston is the most athletic out of all the tackles. He is going to have to have quick feet going up against Mike Rucker and Will Smith. I like Winston the best, his stock is boosting every day, and he will end up in Tampa
Winston is more of a project. His stock has slipped in the recent months. He's a late first - early 2nd projection. He was once thought of as a top 20 pick but he had an awful season and an average Senior Bowl. He still needs work. Tampa needs a more polished OT and that's McNeil. HE hasn't allowed a sack in his career yet and had a great season being an Outland Trophy Finalist and his Pro Day was one of the best.
Who should the Bengals select. They just pick up Sam Adams. Possibiltes: TE Leneord Pope-to give Palmer another good target DE-Tambi Hali S-Donte Whitner, Ko Simspson, Darnell Bing IMO i think they should go Donte Whitner who could play any DB positon.
They did sign Dexter Jackson and they really need a TE so I think Pope would be the best fit for them.
Giants are on the clock. I think the Giants should go LB assuming they do not pick of Lavar Arrington in free agency. They got run over in the playoffs. I think Ernie Sims would be a great pick here. Ernie Sims has top 12 talent, and is good at everything, a little undersized but Sims can be the next Derrick Brooks. There is also Gabe Watson. The Giants lost a DT to the cards, and would be a giant run stuffer in the middle.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (porky88)</div><div class='quotemain'>Though I would of taken Williams at #21.. and Kamerion Wimbley over the most overrated player on message boards Manny Lawson but that's me..</div> We obviously have different sources. According to mine it is Wimbley that is overrated. Remains to be seen which is accurate.
As for the Giants, I know Sims is the likely choice but I'd also give serious consideration for Antonio Cromartie. His stock is on the rise & he could potentially fill 2 needs at CB & WR.
I'd go Sims here for sure. He's too good to pass up at this point and has fewer questions about him than Cromartie.
For the Bears i think they need a corner. Azumah just retired and Tillman got scorced by steve smith. I saw Cromartie would be a good corner here, he is a big physical corner which is what Ron Rivera wants
I was waiting for this and since pope is gone i vote for Joseph.. we need CB help though i consider a TE a greater need.. There isn't a TE left worthy of the first round so i say get some 1st round talent at CB with Joseph
Cromartie has more upside. He is a huge boom or bust because of injuries. Cromartie would have been a top 10 corner if he was healthy this year.

i say that carolina drafts an OLB like ryans, Or howard they need it with witherspoon leaving.. so thats my take
With the loss of Witherspoon the Panthers could be looking at LB. DeMeco Ryans & Thomas Howard top the list of available prospects. TE would be a reach here but at RB Laurence Maroney & LenDale White are still on the board.
Possibilties: LenDale White: He is the protype RB for the panthers. His stock is dropping a lot due to lack of workouts, but he has tremndous production. At his pro day he was surrounded by the panthers RB coach. The only problem is the panther drafted Eric Shelton last year who almost the same as Lendale, Shelton is being evalutated by the coaching staff. Darnell Bing- Panthers have already had a visit with Bing. Shawn Williams, who was signed to a one year deal isnt the future. The panthers could take a chance here. Thomas Howard- with 4.4 speed this guy is a beast. He is only around 235 and isnt a big force in the running game, but he can be great in coverage. Demeco Ryans- With 4.7 speed his stock is dropping. He is one of the best form tacklers in this draft, and can tackle about anyone. Most likley panthers will go with LenDale. They are very high on last years 5th round pick OLB Adam Seward. I think the panthers will trade up in round 2 to snag Howard or Ryans. I need to research what the panthers think of Shelton, and then i will make my descion.
OLB is probably the biggest need for Jacksonville. A RB could also be use with this pick because Fred Taylor is 30 years old right now. My top 3 choices for Jacksonville 1. Bobby Carpenter OLB 2. Laurence Maroney, RB 3. DeMeco Ryans, OLB
I had Maroney penciled in for the Jags, but I couldn't see Hali slip any further. The Jags suffered some late season injuries at this position & he could be moved to LB if necessary.
