i did this with the new info on sam baker and jake long not entering the draft, thats going to have a very big impact 1. Detroit Lions - Bradie Quinn QB NDIt's time to think about the future, kitna is a very good qb, and quinn might have to sit awhile until kitna stinks it up, or until detroit is out of the playoff run in 07, which might be in week 5(lol). BUT, detroit still has that issue with kevin jones to deal with, probably out in 07. dont be suprised if a trade down is there to pick up peterson, and maybe one of the lesser heralded QB's a guy like troy smith if he's there, stanton, brohm. the thing is with detroit, u never know what they are going to do2. Oakland Raiders - Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Techi think u have seen the last of randy moss in okland. they'll probably end up trading him in the offseason or just straight release him. along with moss out of oakland might be joey porter. so the raiders will need a wr, and who better then calvin to come in. 3. Tampa Bay Bucaneers - Gaines Adams DE Clemsonwith rice out of tampa the rush needs to come from somewhere. adams provides a pure passrush type player but also plays the run.4. Houston Texans - Adrian Peterson RB Houstonwhile its true they dont have the strongest OL in the nfl, there will be plenty of good Ol in freeagency. you think they arent sorry about passing on bush or vince? they wont make that mistake twice. dominiks injury was a big injury and will affect him even in 075. Arizona Cardinals - Joe Thomas T WisconsinWell is no secret what they need, and what they will get. the Ol is playing better but u can only go so far with 2nd rate talent. u need a cornerstone on the Ol somewhere. leonard davis is most likely gone, this is where joe thomas comes in.6. Cleveland Browns - Troy Smith QB Ohio StateSomemight say WHAT!!! but he's the home guy, you think he wouldnt sell tickets? and not only that, he is probably the best college QB. with a big game in the title game and a great workout at the combine. smith will be top 10.7. St Louis Rams - Dwayne Jarrett WR USCthe return of the greatest show on turf? with bruce probably in his last yr and curtis most likely gone thru FA, i would see this as a gift for the rams. they need defense, but when has defense been a big concern in st louis? they're philosophy has been, can u score more then us.8. Washington Redskins - Alan Branch Dt Michiganwashingtions inability to clog the middle didnt help the De's were geting double teams constantly. alan takes that away with his size, and his ability to collapse the pocket.9. Green Bay Packers - Marshawn Lynch RB CalThe replacement for green has been found, lynch is the same kind of back green is with a little less size. but equal the skill. some think he's the best back in the draft while others think its still peterson. but you cant go wrong with either.10. Minnesota Vikings - Leon Hall CB MichiganThe worst secondary in the nfl. easy play to call. while revis is climbing charts, hall is clearly the best cb in the draft. aggresive and plays to make plays without sacrificing his assignment.11. Carolina Panthers - Patrick Willis LB Ole Missdan morgan can never stay healthy so maybe the time is nowto replace the injury plagued lb'er with a good run stopping middle linebacker.12. Miami Dolphins - Quin Pittock DT Ohio Stateage of the Dt makes this a easy pick for the dolphins. that and they're inability to play the run as good as they would like, sacrificing bringing players inside the box and getting beat by the long ball.13. New England Patriots(SEA) - Lamarr Woodley OLB/DE MichiganLB'er has been their problem this with injuries and age coming to pass. woodley can be the next coming of mcginnis for the patriots. how can you pass that up?14. Pittsburgh Steelers - Darrelle Revis CB Pittwith the age thing going up with the steelers they go after the best cb left on the board, ironic is a hometown kid in revis. good value here15. Buffalo Bills - Quinton Moses DE Georgiapassrush is this teams downfall every yr. hopefully they have the sense to draft a guy who can give it to them.16. Atlanta Falcons - Jeff Samardzija WR NDobviously they need somebody to catch the ball that vick throws. jeff fits in perfect in atlanta because he doesnt seem to ever drop a ball. yes they have problems stopping the run, but they need to catch the ball too.17. Tennessee Titans - Ted Ginn Jr WR Ohio Statewith their QB set, they'll try to get him a speed wr who can stretch the field.18. New York Jets - Adam Carriker DE Nebraskathe jets need that DE to provide a passrush opposite ellis. something that bryan thomas hasnt been able to do since the loss of abraham this yr.19. NY Giants - Aaron Ross CB Texasweak spot even after all the signing this past offseason. and ultimatly they're killer this yr. ross makes plays and thats what they need20. Philadelphia Eagles - Marcus McCauley Cb Fresno Statebig physical Cb with speed. they could also go with LB'er21. Denver Broncos - Reggie Nelson S FloridaLynch is getting older, and foxworth is just a overgrown Cb playing fs. they need to have a answer next yr, nelson is a play-making safty.22. San Francisco 49'ers - Paul Posluszny LB Penn Statehe is made for a defense like the niners. no names that just hustle. PP will be a perfect fit for this team.23. New England Patriots - Antione Cason CB Arizonaanother need on defense, they need wr's but nobody is worthy of this spot. look for one in rd 2.24.Kansas City Cheifs - Demarcus Tyler DT NC Statethe run defense needs to worked on in the middle and tyler gives it a little attitude it doesnt have.25. Cincinnati Bengals - Michael Griffin S Texaspass defense is clearly they're problem and griffin is part of the fix. of course u wouldnt expect a rookie player to cure the problems, so look for the bengals to go after help in FA26. DALLAS COWBOYS - LEVI BROWN T PENN STATEFLOZELL IS COMING TO AN END, AND BROWN IS A NATURAL FIT FOR LEFT TACKLE. IF EITHER COLOMBO OR FLO STRUGGLE NEXT YR IN CAMP U CAN BET LEVI WILL BE STARTING. THE LOGICAL THING TO DO WOULD BE TRY AND TRADE FLOZELL.27. Jacksonville Jaguars - Brian Brohm QB Louisvillewith having leftwich and garrad play this season its obvious both leave a team feeling theres more to be espected. its just not from either of them.28. New Orleans Saints - Daymieon Hughes Cb Calanother team with a need in the secondary, they could use a lb'er too but right now this is the BPA.29. Indianapolis Colts - Kyle Young C Fresno Stateobviously they need to work on their OL, and DL's but ther isnt a impact DL rookie at this stage in the draft. so they get the best fit for them on the OL. 6'5 335 C that can play the guard spot which i might better suited for.30. Baltimore Ravens - Ruffus Alexander LB Oklahomaadalius thomas is pretty sure to get a blockbuster type offer in free agency from the niners, so i thinkt he ravens might be better off going the way of the draft.31. Chicago Bears - Eric Weddle S Utahwith mike browns injury problems and their inability to find a replacement for him when he got injured, this would be a smart move. not forced to start from day one but learn from a guy like mike brown32. San Diego Chargers - Brandon Merriweather S Miamithe issue with the chargers is clearly safty play, merriweather would give them that knock out strong safty they lack.
18. New York Jets - Adam Carriker DE Nebraskathe jets need that DE to provide a passrush opposite ellis. something that bryan thomas hasnt been able to do since the loss of abraham this yr.Just for the record, Bryan Thomas is leading the Jets in Sacks with 7.5 so that was a pretty stupid comment. But he's more of an Outside Linebacker in the Jets 3-4 Defense so Carriker would be a pretty good pickup anyways. I just think it would be a bit of a reach as he really hasn't had a great senior year for Nebraska.I think Troy Smith (Although I understand why), Aaron Ross and Kyle Young are reaches where they are.I think you completely forgot about JaMarcus Russell and Justin Blalock. Ginn will probably go before Samardzija because of their 40 times, and the fact that Samardzija also plays baseball.Marcus McCauley will go before Aaron Ross IMO.You also dropped Brian Brohm too far IMO, He's a legit top ten talent....and if he's gonna fall that far in the draft he'd sooner go back to Louisville his Senior Season IMO.
10. Minnesota Vikings - Leon Hall CB MichiganThe worst secondary in the nfl. easy play to call. while revis is climbing charts, hall is clearly the best cb in the draft. aggresive and plays to make plays without sacrificing his assignment.We really aren't the worst secondary in the NFL, just the best run defense with one of the worst pass rushes leading to teams throwing on us all game. Not to mention our offensive ineptitude leads to the defense being on the field for long periods of time. Biggest glaring needs- Wide Receiver, Punt/kick Returner. We could kill two birds with one stone by drafting Ginn in that situation. A gamebreaking receiver, something that we REALLY need right now especially with Tarvaris likely starting next year.Along with that, the free agent talent pool for cornerback is great this year but is horrendous for Wide Receivers. The draft is full of great wide receivers in almost every round. Antoine Winfield (should be a pro bowler)Cedric Griffin (rookie, budding star)Fred Smoot (could play nickel with a big paycut)Devonte Edwards (was injured this year but played a good role at dime and even started a few games)Ronyell Whitaker (should be cut) Wide Receivers-Marcus Robinson (not a gamebreaker, red zone threat, reliable but old)Travis Taylor (Free Agent this season, will likely be gone)Troy Williamson (getting back into his groove as of late but has a problem with drops and was benched for a while)Billy McMullen (Decent 4th of 5th but is being pushed into a starting role with the lack of depth) Bethel Johnson (has shown some signs of being decent but is still no more than a depth chart bottom feeder with kick return specialties) Jason Carter (fan favorite, hasn't seen the light of day in the regular season, probably won't be retained) So next year the vikes should have Griffin, Winfield, Edwards and maybe smoot as their cornerbacks. Add a decent free agent like Clements to the starting role and the CB's are great.The Wide receiver situation should be Marcus Robinson, Troy Williamson, and Billy Mcmullen. Definitely are corps that makes you cringe...

The Rams would have the 7th pick? That's weird.. last week it was like 9th, and they won this week. And they have a better record than the 'Skins.Unless you're just basing this off of what you think it'll be like at seasons end.But the Jarrett pick blows. I doubt we'll let Curtis go. But if we did, I think we'd get a first/second rounder for him since he's a restricted FA (or that's what I heard), so that wouldn't be too bad. But we want him to be there when Bruce isn't. We wouldn't draft a WR in the first round even without Curtis. We would take that in round 3, or maybe 2. We will go defense here, unless there are no defensive guys we like at the time, in which we'd probably just trade down or something.
I just don't think much of Carriker. People like him because of his size, but his production (or lack there of) doesn't match that of a First Round Draft Pick. Id rather have a football player then a player with great measureables anyday.
6. Cleveland Browns - Troy Smith QB Ohio StateSomemight say WHAT!!! but he's the home guy, you think he wouldnt sell tickets? and not only that, he is probably the best college QB. with a big game in the title game and a great workout at the combine. smith will be top 10.The Browns need to sell tickets?This is completely new to me considering the fact that the stadium has been SOLD OUT since 1999.Troy Smith, HELL NO!!If the Browns do draft him I will go completely ape$hit. This is the worst selection I have ever seen for the Browns. Talk about not drafting a need. The Browns would be the bottom of the NFL with that pick. Absolutely terrible pick.

Troy Smith SHOULD go to the Browns... you're right. People think he's a scrambler, when really, he's the best passer in college football.

Just my opinion though.
Atlanta won't be drafting a wide reciever in the first round. They already have three of them right now. We'll be drafting a defensive player and a small chance on the offensive linemen.
