I really think Nate Clements will be tagged and traded for a late-1st. I see no reason why that is ridiculous. If you can't get a late-1st for a top flight CB (top of the FA market) who can you get one for? I think Nate Clements is worth more than Peerless Price or an old, damaged Edgerrin James. RB's are a dime a dozen these days, but a good CB is hard to come by. I think Buffalo will tag him and that's when it's going to get messy. Nate wants more than what that tag will get him. He'll want out and there's a number of team's low in Round 1 that would want him (I.E. Jax and NYG). Interestingly enough, i've read a lot of rumors (yes, I know; they're just rumors) that say Denver is looking for a young QB. Jake Plummer is the same age as E-Moulds and his performance in the AFC championship game was upsetting to say the least. Jay Cutler would be their guy. But to do it, they'll have to jump ahead of Detroit at 9. Denver has the 22nd pick overall (from Washington) and the 29th pick overall. According to the NFL Draft Value Chart, those two picks combined share the same amount of points as the 8th overall pick! So if we're looking to trade down, I think this is the IDEAL situation. At where we are, we can hope for D'Brickashaw Ferguson at OL and Mario Williams or Haloti Ngata at DL. Anyone besides those three would be a reach at 8. But in the late-1st, you can justifiably (sp?) draft guys like: Marcus McNeil, OT Auburn Jonathan Scott, OT Texas Max-Jean Gilles, OG Georgia Gabe Watson, DT Michigan Brodrick Bunkley, DT Florida State Mathias Kiwanuka, DE Boston College Antonio Cromartie, CB Florida State Tye Hill, CB Clemson Marcedes Lewis, TE UCLA Dominique Byrd, TE USC Chad Jackson, WR Florida I'd rather have two guys in the late-1st then one guy like Haloti Ngata at 8. What do you guys think?

Well, in his radio interview with Rome (I believe?), he stated he's not coming back to New Orleans and an ideal place for him to go is Cleveland because that's his hometown. So coming from New Orleans and thinking about Cleveland; I don't think he'll have a problem coming here.

I agree. Quite frankly i'm pretty sick and tired of everybody saying he's washed up and needs to be thrown off to the side. I saw him make quite a few plays last season. There were a couple games where I thought, "Man, Troy Vincent is all over the field!". Of course he got burned a bunch. Everyone in our secondary did. That's what happens when you can't rush the passer and he has all day to pick his spots.

Is it just me or does J.P. seem kinda geeky? Like he's the california boy whose trying too hard (I.E. Malibu's Most Wanted with the volume turned down).

Wow! Eric Winston at 8?! Maybe 8th pick in the 2nd round.

The New York Giants select..... Claude Wroten, DT LSU I know about the arrest, but he's too good to pass on close to the 3rd.

So lemme get this straight..... In Round 1, San Diego trades the #1 RB in the NFL, LaDanian Tomlinson; for Reggie Bush who hasn't played a down in the NFL at RB. Then in Round 2, San Diego takes RB Maurice Drew?!

I'm sorry I missed my pick I was at the doctor's office for a long ass time today. I can't complain with Tye Hill though.

Well most mocks have Oakland standing put at 6 and selecting Mario Williams. I had them move up and select Vince Young at QB. It only made sense to select Lawson if he's sitting there.

With the 2nd pick in the 2nd round, the Oakland Raiders select..... Manny Lawson, DE N.C. State

I already made the pick, 2003. Look a few threads up.

The New York Giants select..... Antonio Cromartie, CB Florida State Giants need a CB and with Williams off the board; Tye Hill, Ashton Youboty, and Antonio Cromartie are the best available. Hill and Youboty are good, but Cromartie would have been a top 5-10 pick and the best CB available if he hadn't hurt his knee and came out early. I predict a monster combine from him for coming out.

I might respect you're argument if you didn't have us taking Eric Winston at 8

And I like that one too! Honestly, I hope the Bills trade down and take him this year if Ferguson, Williams, and Ngata aren't there.

Ooh! Might be a little bit of a reach, but I like it!

Honestly, Winston Justice isn't my first choice. I don't like the idea of Buffalo taking him and i'd be upset if they did. The only reason I listed him is because he's the #2 OT in the draft on most boards. If Buffalo decided they MUST take an OT with their 1st pick and they can't trade down, he'd be the guy.

2003, I have to disagree with your grades. Mathias Kiwanuka at 17 to the Vikings doesn't deserve a D. He had a poor Senior Bowl showing, but if Williams and Hali are gone and the Vikings want another DE, Kiwanuka is the pick. Before his "regression" he was touted as a top-10 pick. Orien Harris at 19 gets a B?! I have yet to see a SINGLE mock that has Orien Harris in round 1. He's below Ngata, Bunkley, Watson, Wroten, and Wright on most boards i've seen. Lendale White is a little bit of a reach at 7, but not a whole lot. Not deserving a C. Especially if DeAngelo Williams is picked at 4. San Fran needs a back and at that point White is the best you can get. He's projected anywhere from pick 5 to GB to pick 20. And Charlie Whitehurst gets a D?!..... Actually, you're right; that was a terrible pick.

I'm not saying it does. All i'm saying is that if Leinart threw righty, Justice would have been their LT. While most teams put their top OL at LT to protect their QB's blindside, Leinart's blindside was coming from the RT spot.

Grammar is your friend. By the way, wasn't it Otis Anderson?

No way! Heath Miller was barely picked in the 1st round. He had a good college career that has translated VERY well into the NFL. But he wasn't half the prospect Davis is coming out of college.

Waiting for their pick to come. Unless of course you're Draconator

Here's how I mock it barring trades: 1.) Houston - Reggie Bush, RB USC 2.) New Orleans - Matt Leinart, QB USC 3.) Tennessee - Vince Young, QB Texas 4.) New York - D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT Virginia 5.) Green Bay - A.J. Hawk, LB Ohio State 6.) Oakland - Mario Williams, DE N.C. State 7.) San Francisco - DeAngelo Williams, RB Memphis Honestly, that's the most realistic 1-7 you can get. So who will Buffalo pick? Who's left? Well here's a list of players. We should look forward to seeing one in Buffalo blue next season: Haloti Ngata, DT Oregon - 75% of the mocks you read will have us picking him. And why not? He's far and away the #1 DT in the draft. "The Tongan Terror" is a huge, athletic run stuffer that would be an immediate impact player. Vernon Davis, TE Maryland - This would be a little bit of a shocker, but he's every bit worth it. Consistently listed as the #1 TE in the draft (which is saying a LOT because this is a DEEP TE class), Davis is an explosive playmaker. Many compare him to Antonio Gates and he is the best TE since Kellen Winslow. Michael Huff, S/CB Texas - "Huff Daddy" was this year's Jim Thorpe winner for the nation's top DB. He has all the skill in the world and is described as a "ball hawk". He was the heart of that terrifying national championship defense and you can put him wherever in the secondary. Tamba Hali, DE Penn State - There was a time when Mathias Kiwinuka was considered the best DE in the draft. Those days are long gone! Especially after a terrible regression this past season and an emberassing Senior Bowl. These days it's all about Mario Williams and Tamba Hali. Super Mario is the pinnacle, but Hali is a beast as well. He'll make an immediate impact. A pass rush for once would be nice. Jimmy Williams, CB Virginia Tech - Without a doubt, Williams is the #1 pure CB in the draft. Antonio Cromartie may have been able to give him a run for his money, but then he got injured. Jimmy is quick, explosive, and a DeAngelo Hall clone. The only problem is he has some of those "character issues". Winston Justice, OT USC - He played RT at USC. But playing with left-handed Leinart, RT = LT. He's a big, stud OT who seems to get better as time goes by. He may be a bit of a reach at 8, but if we decide that we have to pick OL with our 1st pick and we can't trade down; he's the guy. Those are the obvious choices. But sometimes (or in TD's case; a lot of times) things don't work out like we think they will. Sometimes there are circumstances that are kept quiet at OBD. Now for the SHOCKERS: Jay Cutler, QB Vanderbilt - He'll go in the 1st round, most likely to Detroit after we make our selection. He's easily the #3 QB in the draft and many argue he'd be #1 if he didn't play at Vandy. If the "Golden Boys" have decided Losman's fate in a negative way; this is a very real possibility. Santonio Holmes, WR Ohio State - The #1 WR in the 2006 class. He's not Braylon Edwards or Larry Fitzgerald, but he's still the guy you want if you're drafting a WR this year. Right now picking him at 8 would be a little bit of a reach. But I predict he'll have a monster combine. Combine (bad pun) that with his Fiesta Bowl performance and his stock will rise tremendously. He's not as small as everyone makes him sound and he could easily put on a little muscle mass. Lendale White, RB USC - At the Rose Bowl, everyone might have been anticipating what Reggie Bush would do. But it was all about Lendale. He is constantly in Reggie's shadow, but he shouldn't be. He's a beastly power runner who OBVIOUSLY wouldn't have a problem sharing the field with Willis. If Marv is questioning Willis' play and character, Lendale White might be too good to pass on as a weapon and insurance. It's definitely possible that the Brick, Super Mario, or others could fall. But it's unrealistic to expect it. This is the definitive list of options for us. I wouldn't be upset with any one of them.

That's odd. Chad Johnson was giving him rave reviews on WGR yesterday from Detroit. You'd think CJ would be more likely to run off at the mouth than Smith. Especially since he was practically shut down by Nate when we played Carolina.

See Jim Fassell or fictional article: HC accepts Assistant position never to be a HC again

I wouldn't worry about it too much. There isn't a WR from Michigan coming out that is even an ounce of a thought at 15. Now if you would have said some WR out of Ohio State, then we'd have cause for concern. I had a dream the other day that the draft went like this: 1.) Houston - Reggie Bush 2.) New Orleans - Matt Leinart 3.) Tennessee - Jay Cutler (Chow liked him better after the Senior Bowl) 4.) New York - D'Brickashaw Ferguson 5.) Green Bay - Mario Williams 6.) Oakland - A.J. Hawk 7.) San Francisco - DeAngelo Williams During this whole time, Kiper was freaking out about Vince not being picked. Everyone agreed that teams were spooked about his delivery, style, and how it may or may not translate at the next level. Then it came..... With the 8th selection in the NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select: Vince Young, QB Texas. Although Kiper and Berman discussed whether or not this was a good fit, they agreed that if they address both line's in Day 1 and heavily in FA; Vince could succeed at some point and could at least compete with Losman. They also agreed that any team after pick 5 would be stupid to pass on him. Then I came on to TSW. And 3 members had committed suicide! Everyone was going crazy. I'm talking biblical proportions (sp?). Total anarchy. Cats and dog's living together and all that jazz.
