Aaron Brooks QB

Al Davis is nuts if he is planning to pass on a QB again. He MUST draft a QB, he has an obligation to Raider fans. If he doesn't take Russell or Quinn he will set the Franchise back five years. But, I may be crazy, but, it looks to me like he is trying to find a way to draft Calvin Johnson. Rumors are spreading that he is trying to sign a QB, and is trying to trade Moss and Porter. 

Russell has the chance to be a great one. His release is a little slow, and he will have to speed it up. I didn't know a lot about him until the Bowl game he played in (I forget the name), but I couldn't not have been more impressed. Davis should stop goofing around and have him signed to a contract before the draft.

Second Choice: Calvin Johnson WR

Dre' Bly CB

I cannot believe that the Lions would pass on a QB, again, but if they do it will be for Joe Thomas. Statistically Detroit has the worst O-Line in the league. 31st in Average Per Carry, 31st in Sacks Allowed, and 31st in Redzone Offense. The problem is that Millen has to be under pressure to starting winning now, and rookie QBs never win now.

Joe Thomas is huge and has the feet to play Left Tackle. He was maybe the most impressive athlete at the Combine. He is as smooth as ice. He looks like the surest-thing in the Draft. 

I liked the trade for George Foster and Tatum Bell. They needed lots of help on the O-line, and Foster is a giant of a man who will certainly help the running game, but he is not a left Tackle. Bell maybe the starter on opening day because of Kevin Jones' foot injury. Jones may not be available in the first half of the season. The big question is- does the acquisition of Foster open the door for drafting Quinn?

Second Choice: Brady Quinn QB

Ruben Droughns RB

Dayleon McCluthcen CB

I cannot believe that the Browns would pass on Brady Quinn. I think Frye has a chance to be a good QB, but Quinn has a chance to be a Franchise QB. Both Romeo and the Owner of the Browns attended Quinn's workout at Notre Dame, where everybody said he was very impressive. If Cleveland is not set on Quinn they should trade down and gather a second or a first next season. The Vikings may have the worst Wide Receivers in the NFL, and if the Browns trade down to 7 they could still be looking at both Peterson and Quinn. It seems to me Cleveland will be choosing between who ever is left: Russell, Thomas, or Quinn.

So much of being a QB in the NFL is work ethic and understanding the Offense, and the latter becomes more and more important each year as Offensive Coordinators make Offenses more and more complicated. Weis says that Quinn has Tom Brady's work ethic and intelligence, that's good enough for me. Quinn struggled a little in some big games, but overall he showed everything you want in a QB prospect.

Dewayne White DE

Gruden appears to be on a mission to dominate the Depth Chart at the QB position. They start out with two good young QBs, and then acquire two good veteran QBs? They have 4 good QBs, but no great QB. D-line is really a desperate need. They may actually be better off if Johnson is gone. They really need two D-Linemen in this draft, but with two 2nd round picks they look like they have the ammunition to get two.

This appears to be the easiest pick in the draft so far. Calvin Johnson is far and away the best prospect in the draft. He is not only a Physical Freak, but he is also as accomplished at his position as a college player can be. The problem is the Buccs may need to trade up to get him, as more then one team below them needs him as well (I mean, What would the Vikings give up for him?). It appears now that the Lions could trade down to this spot and still get Thomas or Quinn, they only have to hold Johnson hostage. 

Second Choice: Alan Branch DT

Leonard Davis OT

A lot of people have Gaines going here, but Defensive End is not the Cards biggest need. They definitely need more Pass Rushers, Chike Okeafor and Bert Berry are both over 30 and showing signs of wear and tare. They combined for only 14.5 sacks last season. However, they are not the worst starting D-Ends in the league. I think they have to get a Run-Stopping DT first. Dockett and Clancy are both good pass rushing DTs, but they get pushed back on running plays far to often. The Cards may be the number one choice to trade up to get Joe Thomas OLT. In fact, the Left Tackle position is so desperate they may need to take Levi Brown right here. Currently, old friend Butch Gorin is their starting Left Tackle.

Alan Branch is slipping currently as athleticism takes president around Combine time, but as teams go back to the tape coaches love to see those giant immovable objects. They will be drooling when they see Branch not just holding the double- team but pushing it back. He does have some concern as he does not play all out every play. He is the first Boom-or-bust player. The question is- is he going to be Gerald Warren or Ted Washington?

Second Choice: Levi Brown OLT

Fred Smoot CB

Key F.A.  Loses:

It looks like the Skins are in pretty good position here. Come draft day they maybe choosing between Adams and Jamaal Anderson. The Skins had only 19 sacks last season, 6 fewer than any other team. They have no 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Round pick, so trading down here is always an option. Their main need is to stop Snyder's stupidity from destroying this team with Player turn-over and stupid Free Agent Signings, because of his fantasy football mentality there is no continuity on the roster. But for now they MUST get the best Pass Rusher they can find.

I think come Draft-time Anderson will be the top rated Defensive End, but right now it's Gaines Adams. I believe Gaines will be the best Pass Rusher to come out of this Draft. He had 28 sacks in his career at Clemson, and was the ACC Defensive Player of the Year last season. The Skins need Pass Rushers more than anything else, they led the league is pass rushing ineptitude by getting a league low 19 sacks. If Gaines slips to them they will be ecstatic.

Vikings desperately need to trade up and pick up a young QB. If both Detroit and Cleveland foolishly pass on Brady Quinn, the Vikings cannot be so foolish. The question is can they pass on Ted Ginn Jr.? The top four Wide outs on their roster: T. Taylor, B McMullen, B. Johnson, and T. Williams, who are these guys? Bobby Wade is a start, but he is not a number one receiver. The need for a Wide Receiver is desperate. If they really are going to go with Tarvaris Jackson at QB, they MUST get him some weapons, taking Ginn here will be a reach. The Vikes GM Rick Spielman is known as a guy who likes to trade down for additional picks. In fact, the Vikings first choice will be to trade, up for Johnson or down for one of the many Wide Receivers who will be available later. As far as needs and value go, the Vikings may be in the worst position in the draft. If they do pick here they will probably go for the best Pass Rusher available. 

Ginn MUST run. I think he will run under a 4.3 and solidify his position as a top ten pick. I have been watching Ginn for the past three season at Ohio Statewith envy and enjoyment. Ginn is just pure speed on the field. He reminds me of Reggie Bush, in that when Reggie Bush steps on the field he is the fastest and quickest player on the field, and the same can be said for Ginn. He just plays at a different speed than everybody else. On the field he is the fastest player in this years Draft. He does not run patterns well, and it appears he was only asked to run 3 or4 patterns. Does not like to run inside patterns. His slight size (178 pounds), inability to workout (ankle sprain), and lack of skill in route running, will cause him to fall a little, unless his track speed matches his game speed.

Key F.A.  Loses:

Patrick Kerney DE

Ashley Lelie WR

Edgerton Hartwell LB

Ike Reese LB

LaRon Laundry will be hard to pass here, but Crocker is not a bad player and Milloy still has some gas in the tank.  OL has two holes that must be filled, especially at OLT if you are not Wayne Gandy fan (like me). But they are devastated at Defensive End. John Abrahams is over-rated. He is a great pass-rusher, but  will always get injured and cannot be counted on for the whole season. Last season, when they still had Patrick Kerney, Linebacker Michael Boley had to play D-End on Passing Downs.

Anderson is a very interesting prospect. He has all the measurables you want in a DE, 6-6, 280, runs a 4.7, and Despite starting only 19 games he still recorded 17.5 sacks at Arkansas. The problems is that he has to learn to bends his knees more consistently. He has been compared to Richard Seymour, and like Seymour his height is almost a detriment. When he plays with leverage he is dominate, when he lets O-Linemen get under his pads he looks horrible. He is the the top 3-4 Defensive End prospect in the draft.

Miami is crushed, in this scenario as Quinn is long gone, heh-heh-heh. However, the Dolphins currently have no Left Tackle on their roster, unless you consider Lonnie Shelton (who played Right Guard for them last season) a LT. I do not. They have released five Offensive Linemen so far this off season, including starting Left Tackle Damion McIntosh, and four OGs. There Offensive Line is in complete disarray. They will have to use 2 of their top three picks on O-Linemen just to take the field next season. It looks to me like they have focused On Levi Brown, and they had better pray he is still available. 

I have Brown rated higher then most people. I think he is a great player. I compare him to another Levi, Levi Jones, and like Jones I think he will step in and quietly play Left Tackle for the next 10-15 years. I know he had some mental lapses at Penn, but he has everything you want in a LT prospect. The hardest part of the draft for draftnics is the interview process, which in many ways is the most important part of this whole process. Brown, by all accounts, is tremendously impressive in person and very intelligent as well; his interviews should be the final piece of his draft profile to make him a top ten pick.

Houston needs to draft four players here. Okoye, Ginn, Hall, and Brown. But I have been crucifying them for the past three seasons for not taking an Offensive Left Tackle. Taking Eric Winston and Chester Spencer in the 3rd Round last season was huge. If Winston's knee is recovered he could be a Matt Light-like Left Tackle. The signing of Jordan Black was another big move in the right direction for this O-Line, although K.C. released him because they did not think he was a long term solution at Left Tackle. However, they now have four OT Tackles who have played Left Tackle on their roster: Ephraim Salaam, Eric Winson (Played in College), Chester Spencer (Started at Left Tackle as a rookie last season before blowing out his knee), and Black (who is their starting Left Tackle right now). Black could solidify the O-Line and finally give Carr a chance to succeed. However, I like Depth Charts. According to Houston's depth chart, they have three Defensive Ends on the roster: Anthony Weaver, N.D. Kalu, and Mario Williams. Which brings up another question, are they a 3-4 team or a 4-3 team?  

Johnson really came last season as a Junior, so he is a but of a one year wonder. Last season he had: 44 Tackles, 19 TFL, and 9.5 Sacks, in his previous two seasons he had: 29 TKL, 10.5 TFL, and 2 Sacks. Still he had an excellent Combine doing 33 Reps and running a 4.8 at 281 pounds. He has good size and speed, and is a good Pass Rusher.

What a year to have a top ten pick and need a Safety. They have needs at WR,  but Landry is just to great to pass. Mark Roman is Physical but a liability in coverage, and Keith Lewis is a Special Teams player. If Landry, Branch, or Ginn are available they will jump all over them, as needs at S, WR, and NT will take president in this years Draft. They may take one of the other Wide Receivers available, as both Bowe and Meachum seem to have the talent to be Pro Bowlers, but both come with baggage. They need a 3-4 DE. Bryant Young is 35 and Marques Douglas is 30.

LaRon Laundry is a man amongst boys. Big enough and hits hard enough to be a Strong Safety, and is fast enough and athletic enough to be a Free Safety. This is another easy pick, if Laundry falls here Falcons cannot pass on him.

Willis Mcgahee RB

Nate Clemons is gone. Hall is the top Corner prospect in the draft. Another pick that is to logical to actually happen. If Brown slips down to them I think they will have to take him, right now their Left Tackle is Jason Peters or Langston Walker, I'm not sure either is a Left Tackle. Although, I must admit I have been more and more impressed with Peters every time I see him play. A. Youboty, J. Greer, T. McGee, and K. Thomas are the Corners current on their roster. Though I like Youboty and think he will develop into a good one, that is a pretty desperate situation. However, the loss of McGahee is a huge problem that must be addressed early. 

Yikes! If the Browns pass on Peterson at 3, I don't see anyone taking him until he reaches the Bills, and I just cannot see the Bills passing on Peterson. Peterson's inability to stay healthy worries me, and I think it will cause him to fall a little. But when he was on the football field he was dominate. Then he went to the Combine and should that Athletically he was the number one Running Back. The Browns definitely need a RB, but I think they will pass on him for Thomas or Quinn, and that leaves the Bills as the next likely place.

James Hall DE

Key F.A.  Loses:

Their defense is a mess, in particular their D-Line. The signing of James Hall is a significant upgrade at D-End, that is how bad their D-Ends are. Leonard Little was dominate last season, and what makes it worse is that all the other D-Ends on the roster combined for only 2 sacks. Little and Hall make DE acceptable, at the least. However, Their Defensive Tackles are looking unacceptable to me, and Okoye could end up being the best D-Linemen in this draft. 

Okoye is only 19 years old and his upside is phenomenal. Okoye played an undersized DT at Louisville. He has since gain near 25 pounds and showed up at the Combine at 302 pounds. he looked a little top heavy and uncoordinated to me. The terrific quickness and balance he displayed at Louisville and the Senior Bowl seemed to be missing. I think he is a better player with a weight between 280 and 290. Now I know he is only 19 and still growing into his body, and may eventually be fine playing over 300 pounds, but right now he added to much weight to fast and is has hurt his athleticism. At 290 he appears to be a perfect 3-technique DT: he can hold the Point-Of-Attack, he has the quickness to get to the QB, and he can slice through the double-team and get to the Running Back.

Chris. Draft, LB

Panthers look to defense, and Linebacker and Safety looks to be their two biggest needs. I also wonder if they can pass on Bowe or Meachum here, but it looks like they will be choosing between Reggie Nelson and Willis. To me M. Minter and S. Williams are serviceable Safeties, but looks like T. Davis, A. Seward, and N. Diggs are their three starting Linebackers. 

I think Patrick Willis has a chance to be a great one, and I am one of the few people who have him rated over Timmons. He is a sideline-to-sideline tackling machine. Speed, instincts, and toughness. A lot of people have him slipping to or past 24, if he somehow last to 24 the Patriots MUST gobble him up. In my opinion, he is a Patriot-type player, and I mean that as the highest compliment. Unfortunately, I just can't see him making it to 24.

Joey Porter LB

New coach Mike Timlin has said he will switch to a 4-3. This causes a lot of problems on Defense. The Steelers need help at OLB and DT. However, a switch to a 4-3 causes the need for D-Lineman to override the need for LB. I think Moss is the best 3-4 OLB prospect in this draft. He could step in and contribute right away, even if just as a pass rush specialist. The Steelers Right D-Ends are currently B. Keisel and T. Kirschke, they do not inspire confidence in me. While they are 'tweener 3-4 Ends. However, Ike Taylor and Bryant McFadden are their starting Coreners, and if Hall somehow falls to them they cannot pass. If Hall is gone, I think the Steelers will take a long look at Carriker.

Hall combines text-book technique with amazing feet and athleticism. His biggest question was his long speed, and running a 4.39 forty at the Combine removed those doubts. He is physical in run support. Hall seems to be slipping a little, and I have seen him as the second or third CB on some lists, but I am going to have to go with what I saw. At Michigan he was a phenomenal CB. He has everything you want in a CB: he has terrific cover skills, uncanny anticipation, and the pure quickness a CB must have. Plus, he is a phenomenal athlete, and has good size, strength, and plays the run very well.

Is Bowe or Meachum a crazy pick here? I think this would be a huge boost for Favre. The need for a WR and a RB will be battled over at this pick. However, they have two good starters at WR, Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, and no real starter at RB, Vernand Morency. The need for a RB is desperate. 

Lynch is a great Runner who has off field issues. He has a herky-jerky running motion that makes him great in the open field, he even ran his Forty at the Combine like he was trying to fake out a DB. He terrific size, strength, and vision. he is a great athlete who runs hard and can catch the ball well. He should be able to give the Packer 18-20 carries per game easily.

Jags have top Defensive Tackle pair in the League, adding a top DE would make their D-line one of the best in the NFL. They were one of only three teams who were top ten in both Offense and Defense. There biggest concerns seem to be getting better play out of there existing players. They must first get the QB situation must be straightened out. They now have three OT's, with the signing of Pashos, that needs a reliable rotation. And of course the WR situation, a lot of people have the Jags taking a WR here? I just don't see it. They certainly need more production form the WR position, but the have four legitimate WRs including two First Round Picks: Reggie Williams, Matt Jones, Earnest Wilford, and Dennis Northcutt. The position that seems to have the most concerns are the Safety positions. Deon Grant has left and Donovin Darius was injured again last season (he hhas missed 20 games th epast two seasons), and the Jags have to question if he can be counted on for a whole season. 

Nelson is a playmaker from Championship Program. Their Defensive Backfield is in disarray, and Nelson will step in and start as a rookie. I think the Pats are craving a chance to grab Reggie Nelson. He has everything you want in a Free Safety Prospect. He is pure speed on the field, and has the range of Eugene Wilson when in deep coverage. He is known for making big plays at the biggest times. He loves football, and is a student of the game. He is ready to step into the starting lineup now and big plays at the biggest times. If only he could make it to 24;-)))

I'm torn Timmons or Olsen. Each would be a huge help to this team next season. Since their is more depth at Linebacker in this draft I was going to go with Olsen, as the Bengals should be able to pick up a good Linebacker prospect in the 2nd and the 3rd Round. However, the signing of Reggie Kelly made the decision to give them a Linebacker easy. The loss of Thurman, Pollack and Simmons leaves no Linebackers on the roster with than three years experience. I can see them drafting three Linebackers on the first day. 

Timmons showed up at the Combine a little smaller and slower than expected, but he is a terrific football player. He has those natural instincts for making blockers miss and finding the ball. On the field, he looks like a super athlete. He is one of those players who is a football athlete and not a track athlete. He plays faster and more athletically than he tests.

Titans have a huge hole at WR. David Givens had no speed to spare, and he had a tragic knee injury last season. He may never be the same. Drew Bennett was far and away their best WR, and he has gone away, as has Bobby Wade. 

Meacham has very good size and speed, but what separates him form the other Wide Receivers are his hands. He has huge Vise-grip hands that he uses to snag the ball out of the air. Plus he has return skills that can help the team immediately as he sits behind the four veterans and learns.

The Giants needed to pick up a Linebacker before the season ended, since then they have released Arrington and Emmons. That situation MUST be addressed. They are another team that should draft three Linebacker in this Draft. The Giants need to improve their Defense to take the next step. They also have a big hole at Corner, and if both Willis and Timmons is gone look for a Corner here.

Houston, I think, is the best Press Corner prospect in the draft. He is strong, tough, fast, and lightning quick. By Draft day a lot of teams will have him high on their boards, and he probably won't make it past the Titans at 19.

Broncos have been the busiest team during the past two off seasons, and as a result it seems to me they have least needs of any team. They needed a DE, TE, RB, and CB desperately. Those needs have been filled, you can question how well, but they have certainly been addressed. So this pick is one of the hardest in this draft. I think they will be tempted by, because Rod Smith is reaching the end. Brandon Marshall has become a valuable asset, as he seems to struck a cord with Jay Cutler and seems to be his favorite receiver. I don't think David Kircus is anything special. But in the end, the Broncos really need a DE as I don't think Peek is the solution there. 

Moss is a pure speed rusher. He gets to the QB in a rush. In his last two seasons at Florida he had 81 TKL, 20 TFL, and 15 Sacks. He never stops hustling. Loves the game, and wants to play. He has great height and the frame to add more weight, and can knock down passes and block kicks. It is starting to look like he is slipping a little bit, and it will be interesting to see how close he get tot the Pats.

Key F.A.  Loses:

I have had Blaylock here for a long time. But the signing of Davis removes that need, though I am not a fan of that move. For me Free Safety and Wide Receiver become top needs. If Reggie Nelson is here I think Dallas jumps all over him, but since he is not they must look to WR. Owens is a disaster waiting to happen, and Glenn is 33. The other question for me is D-Line. Carriker may be most valuable to a team lost between a 3-4 and a 4-3. He can play anywhere along the D-line in both a 3-4 and a 4-3, except maybe NT. 

Carriker looks a lot like Howie Long to me. He is strong, quick, and can play anywhere on the D-Line. He is a monster of a man for a DE. He is easily the best Power DE in this draft, and the best pure 3-4 DE prospect. He is strong against the run, and can hold the point-of-attack. He also is slippery and has enough speed and quickness to get to the QB, as a 3-Technique DT. To me, Carriker looks ready to step and start on the D-Line in multiple position right now. He is big, strong, and crafty. He can hold the point and slip the block. He was a star at the Senior Bowl and Combine. He has steadily gained weight and strength over the past two season, and has 20.5 career sack and 41 TFL. They will also be very tempted by one of the many Safeties available

Jordan Black OLT

Chiefs must get at least one Offensive Tackle in this draft. Damion McIntosh was unimpressive at Miami last season. Jordan Black was not the best LT in the league, but he could at least still play. It looks like they will be deciding between Tony Ugoh and Staley.

I have Ugoh slightly higher rated, and he is really flying up the charts as he is showing more toughness than expected, and interesting, coachability. Ugoh would be a reach, but he is a legitimate Left Tackle prospect, and worth his weight in gold. They may have to wait a little for him to gain weight, strength, and technique, but he has everything you need athletically to play Left Tackle in NFL. He is a terrific athlete, has quick footwork, and special agility for an O-Lineman. I think Ugoh may be able to play Right Tackle next season, as he is very coachable and willing to learn. In two or three years he could be the best O-Lineman to come out of this Draft.

Second Choice: Joe Staley OLT

Patriots still need to pick up at least one corner and Linebacker, even if they sign Samuel. If they really so keep Samuel, then Safety becomes their top needs. Nelson or Griffin are both excellent Safety prospects, and Meacham and Bowe are both excellent WR prospects. Aaron Ross is another interesting Corner prospect.  The Pats could also look at Linebacker Posluszny, but Linebacker has a lot of depth in this draft. All three of these Lineba
