I don't like that pick, but I was lost and went with the prevailing opinion.Wow..we were so on the same page to start off EG......nowOK, with the 10th pick, the Cardinals select LenDale White, RB, USC
4 Trojans in the top 10. personally, I am not sold on this pick, but the Shark Pool has spoken. Nice change of pace with Arrington, plus, as LHUCKS will tell you, the Pac-10 = SPEED.
That brings up St. Louis. Seems to me, they'd be bopping their collective bologna over Huff being available here, no?Just kidding.

Arizona's rush offense last year was one of the worst the league has ever seen.
Having said that, the fact that Justice and Brick are gone only leaves Marcus McNeill as a possibility. In other words...
The pick is Michael Huff.
Yes, although I like Williams better, that seemed to be the sentiment.I had White going #27 to Carolina in my last mock, so this is a huge change and one I will likely correct in my pre-draft version 3.EG..why White over Williams? Complement to JJ?
Is Bunkley big enough to play NT?Cleveland - Missing out on Ngata they take...
Brodrick Bunkley
Hmmm, good point. Would they reach for Gabe Watson?Is Bunkley big enough to play NT?Cleveland - Missing out on Ngata they take...

I think Hali may be a bit undersized for a 3-4 end, no? I liked Greenway here too, but they need D-line in a bad way too, especially on the nose. Andy mentioned Gabe Watson, who would be a huge reach, but would be a great fit.Cleveland-Greenaway was the pick prior to the Combine. He showed as weak to me. He has talent, but is a project...imo.
With the 3-4 in Cleveland, I like the size of Hali as a DE 6'3 275.
He added weight is what I was going for. Great rusher off the Edge with decent size. I think I might be alone on this one. The other 2 NT's are reaches here...imo. Will be avail in the 2nd round...no???I think Hali may be a bit undersized for a 3-4 end, no? I liked Greenway here too, but they need D-line in a bad way too, especially on the nose.

I agree, and I think at this point, Bunkley has edged ahead of Hali.... 300+ and still ran a sub 5.0 40.Height: 6-4 Weight: 331I think Hali may be a bit undersized for a 3-4 end, no?

With Greenway's poor showing, I think they look to d-line.
The other options at LB are Sims and Carpenter.
I've been saying that a lot lately. I don't "love" the White pick. I have had DeAngelo top ten and White to AZ. Things have changed, but several others chimed in with strong opinions. It could be a great pick. LenDale is a rare commodity in this draft.I strenuously object.OK, with the 10th pick, the Cardinals select LenDale White, RB, USC
It's Gabe Watson that's 6-4 and 331.He had an average senior season but was a menace at the Senior Bowl.I agree, and I think at this point, Bunkley has edged ahead of Hali.... 300+ and still ran a sub 5.0 40.WatsonHeight: 6-4I think Hali may be a bit undersized for a 3-4 end, no?

Then you are strenuously wrong.I strenuously object.OK, with the 10th pick, the Cardinals select LenDale White, RB, USC
With the twelfth pick, the Browns condemn to an eternity of losing.... .Broderick Bunkley, DT, Florida State
God help you, Broderick. God help you.
That brings up another batch of cream puffs, the Baltimore Ravens. Who are these Nancy boys going to subject to those Simmons-esque purple uniforms? They need help on both lines, depth in the secondary, maybe a RB, maybe a QB - they're a mess as well.
I can picture the shot of him and all his relatives in his living room when Tags announces the pick. The whole room jumping up and down, heads in their hands, punching the air, screaming "Noooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" while Bunkley just stares blankly into the set with the blank look of a death-row inmate on his face, sloooowly shaking his head side to side in disbelief.With the twelfth pick, the Browns condemn to an eternity of losing.... .Broderick Bunkley, DT, Florida State

Hali.Ravens always seek the best available player in the first round. They don't always get it right, but respect Ozzie here and let's pick a solid football player regardless of position.
DeAngelo Williams?
Jimmy Williams?
Tamba Hali?
Tye Hill?
Chad Greenway? (has he fallen)
Agreed. I had Jimmy Williams here in my first mock and am leaning towards repeating that pick unless someone makes a strong case for Hali, Kiwanuka, DeAngelo Williams, or Cutler.Ravens always seek the best available player in the first round.

Not sure...was it maybe Steve Francis?Bunkley will be able to patent it if he goes #12.Wasn't there an NBA guy that had that look?

Word is they've given up on Boller.If not Cutler, then Williams.Agreed. I had Jimmy Williams here in my first mock and am leaning towards repeating that pick unless someone makes a strong case for Hali, Kiwanuka, DeAngelo Williams, or Cutler.
Good point. I'm changing my vote from Hali, who will be a value, to Jimmy Williams who fits better.Word is they've given up on Boller.If not Cutler, then Williams.Agreed.

Both Deion Sanders and Dale Carter are retiring. And McAlister has had a couple of down years while Smari Rolle was so-so as well.
Maybe I don't get it, but do you use your 1st round pick to light a fire under someone else?Or do you sign a FA like Kitna or Collins?Cutler to spark a fire under Boller's ###. Cutler hype ends here.
If we're keeping it to a microcosm of draft picks, not assuming trades and free agents, Cutler makes a fine pick.In the real world, I can see every reason in the world why the Ravens acquire a FA QB and for some reason, I think Collins would be a great fit.Maybe I don't get it, but do you use your 1st round pick to light a fire under someone else?Or do you sign a FA like Kitna or Collins?Cutler to spark a fire under Boller's ###.

It doesn't feel like a Ozzie pick to me.I'm torn between both Williamses and Hali. I cannot form a strong opinion, but if he's vetted in interviews, I prefer Jimmy Williams here. He and Reed. Whew.Cutler to spark a fire under Boller's ###. Cutler hype ends here.
It isn't.It doesn't feel like a Ozzie pick to me.Cutler to spark a fire under Boller's ###. Cutler hype ends here.
They do NOT go WR.Last thing they need is another rookie WR. They'll sign a vet.With the 13th pick, the Ravens select Jimmy Williams, CB/S, Virginia Tech
The kind of me-first punk ### that will fit right in on that Ravens defense.
That brings up Philadelphia. To me, they either go WR or D-line here. Hali seems like he'd fit beautifully in this slot. What do the Eagle fans think?
