    Here it is ..1. LB - With a lot of old veterans, we need to look here early. I'm hoping for Manny Lawson or Bobby Carpenter in round 1.2. RB - Corey Dillon looks to be done, but don't give up on him to quickly. However, even if he's not done he's still 30 years old. I would love Joseph Addai in round 2. He would also love to go to the Patriots, according to an interview in which he said that.3. WR - Wow, listen to this. David Givens, Troy Brown, Tim Dwight and Andre Davis are all free agents, Givens looks to be gone because of the weak WR class so he could make some money. Brown could come a long for a 2nd term for a 1 year deal. Dwight and Davis are good KR/PR at best. That leaves us with our true # 1 Deion Branch and a underacheiving Bethel Johnson. We love Jason Avant, and he could be our pick in round 3.4. CB - I don't like another young CB, but we could use one for depth. Drafting a guy like Richard Marshall in round 3 is a huge long shot so I look at a guy like a Will Blackmon. We could reach on him, and he could be one of our two 3rd round picks, or one of two 4th round picks.5. OG - Yes we drafted Logan Mankins last year and he's been a huge surprise to me. Wrecking people, however LG Stephen Neal is about to hit free agency and behind him we have an average (at best) player in Russ Hochstein.

    That's a pretty good assessment of what your team needs--I agree with everything, I'll probably make one of these for the Redskins soon.

    I agree with all your choices there. I would hate to see Avant go in the 3rd round, especially to the Pats. I'm a Michigan fan and I hate the Pats [​IMG]

So nice job.
