  1. No the NFL Europe is not higher quality than Division I football!
  2. I dunno, I guess I'm still not convinced that Marv and the front office are all that worried about improving at CB. I don't think they do cb til the 3rd rd. We don't know what we have in Youbooty, I think they believe McGee is good enough to start and Kilwaukee Thomas can start ont he other side until Youbooty is ready. At DT I do think they are hesitant to grab another one in the first because they expect bog things from McCargo. I don't. He got injured in Week 6, yet he still only had 7 tackles! I don't call myself an expert on Dts but I don't think 1 tackle a game average is all that good. Spikes won't be around on draft day, so we will need at least 2-3 Lbs. I say we go Lynch in the 1st, trade back into the first and pick up an OLB in Pos. Why? Because Marv already stated publicly that Crowell is the new MLB. I don't have a problem with Ellison starting, I think he could be agood player if he just bulks up. We need a nasty guy at OLB who attacks the line and Pos fits the bill.
  3. If Quinn is around when the Texans pick, he's theirs.
  4. I gotta believe we go RB in the 1st rd. i don't think we needit but I think our coaching staff likes Lynch. Maybe I could see us going D if Okoye is there, but as we've seen, Marv and Co. take their guy and aren't swayed at all by the draft pundits. Peterson or Lynch in the 1st unless Okoye is there and even then I think they are counting on McCargo to step up and play like a 1st rder.
  5. That doesn't seem like a lot of moving around to still get the same guys they're projrcted to take if they all stand pat?
  6. Marv is going to shock us all and take a FB just so our RB by committee has a good lead blocker.
  7. Simonton was the best back in NFL Europe a couple years ago, leading the league in all-purpose yards. He's not even on the roster here.
  8. I hope they don't do it just because I want to see everyone in Detroit lose it when they draft C Johnson with #2. 4 1st rd WR draft picks on a single team would be hilarious(can't remember if Rogers was cut)? I don't think we would be involved in any sort of trade to move up, but just for fun, if we did, who would you take? I'd go Peterson.
  9. we should trade him for a smile and a handshake
  10. Exactly. Don't overestimate our pass D. Teams didn't have to pass on us cause their rushers moved the ball on us at will.
  11. You don't average over 4 yards in the NFL without being a good back. I wish we could get him for a 3rd, that would be perfect.
  12. I'd rather just trade our 1st and Spikes to the Bears for Briggs. At least he is a known commodity.
  13. Willis makes more sense with the LBs we have. Then take Pittman or Bush in the 2nd. Though I wouldnt mind Triplett and McCargo rotating on one side with Okoye and Williams rotating at DT.
  14. well obviously there are better choices in earlier rounds!
  15. I wouldnt want him in a prison uni in usptate NY, let alone a Bills uni
  16. walker gives you something we don't have: ball control. We can grind drives out with him and let the D refresh. I agree. We draft 4 D players in and get him in the 4th, maybe add Chris Brown and we have a nice 3 headed monster in the backfield. though that monster would quickly shrink once Brown makes his yearly trip to IR
  17. DTs are harder to find than RBs. If we don't get branch or Okoye we take Hall or Willis and take a RB in the 2nd
  18. Nah, not a steal. It would be value. Again, watching tape is interesting but it's alos important to understand the perception of a player when he is playing. We always knew Walker could get those 2 or 3 yeards when we needed them (unlike Willis). But the big play hopes were basically nonexistent. Wehn he did break a long one it was always a welcome surprise. He does have GREAT hands catching screen passes. i would love him in the 4th. Actually if we reached, I wouldnt be disappointed. I just dont want people thinking he is Thurman reincarnetd. This expectations aren't fair to him cause I don't think he would compare himself, to Thomas
  19. How is this an option? He just listed everything he wants in a team and we are NONE OF THE ABOVE. That's like me saying I want to marry Tom Brady's ex and having people report on it. She just isn't interested
  20. Yep, that's why I didnt understand the 2nd rd talk above. I'd pick him up in the 4th IF we have already gotten: LB, DT and CB
  21. Mock drafts are NOT made on a thoughtful consideration of ateams need. They look at a list of defensive positions that need to be filled, look at the list for prospects and match the highest rated need with the highest rated player. For positions like DT that doesnt make sense because of the difference between the 2 kinds of DTs. I tihnk Brankch would be a good fit for us while Okoye might not be. People don't look at the system you play in as much as the "rankings"
