2006 NFL DRAFT (1 Viewer)

[corpcow]

i hope AZ doesn't take Leinart. With Edge, BOldin/LFitz, and Warner, IMO an OL would be the best bet.

Just wondering, how old is Warner? Why would you NOT take Leinart at #10?

 

[Dynasty]

WOW. Leinhart gets a great set of recievers and E. James. Leinhart wins the Lottery.

Wins the lottery? What lottery is it that costs you at least $10 million in salary by missing one NFL season and getting a worse initial contract?

 

[Wheelhouse]

I think everyone spoke way too fast for ripping on Leinart.

Sure he dropped from 1 to 10 by waiting a year, but he's now got Boldin, Fitzgerald and James instead of Arnaz Battle, Antonio Bryant and Kevan Barlow.

Leinart couldn't be any luckier right now. About the only team with the skill player positions to match what he had at USC.

Great football situation but Hollywood Matt in the desert in front of a half empty stadium?

I'm thinking Leinart, EJ, Boldin and Fitzgerald will change that. Last I checked Phoenix was still a very big city. People will come - People will most assuredly come.

 

[MrPhoenix]

COME ON CUTLER!!!! NO MORE FIRST ROUND DEFENSIVE TACKLES, ST. LOUIS!!!!

 

[JZilla]

WOW.  Leinhart gets a great set of recievers and E. James.  Leinhart wins the Lottery.

Wins the lottery? What lottery is it that costs you at least $10 million in salary by missing one NFL season and getting a worse initial contract?

Suddenly his career has potential, which it wouldn't have in San Fransuxor

Welcome to desert Neo

I suggest not wearing black. Great pick for AZ, they got an absolute steal.

 

[BigRed]

Not for long. Cards are finally on the way to legitimacy and more.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

My guess to St. Louis is either Ngata or Jimmy WIlliams

 

[dgreen]

Leinhart throwing to Fitzgerald and Boldin with EJames at the back.

Not bad

I just hope he sits a year. :warnerowner:

Interesting - With one of the best blocking RBs in the game (Edge), you'd think Warner might be able to do VERY well this year. Too bad the QB with the least need to groom is Leinart. Denny didn't pull his QBs too quickly in MIN IIRC.

True. Pep sat a year.

 

[Kiddnets]

Geez Tory Holt throwing Bulger under the bus and praising cutler - I think its clear he is in the know!!!!

It's not going to be half-empty for a very long time.

What a situation to slip into - Fitz, Boldin and Edge and an up and coming team.

 

[MrPhoenix]

My guess to St. Louis is either Ngata or Jimmy WIlliams

God I hope not. On either one.

 

[Assani Fisher]

Quick overall .02:

Once again a draft where most expected a lot of fireworks is more or less going according to script. Mostly very solid picks though IMO.

I dunno...Bush not going #1, Leinart falling, Buffalo's pick....theres been some fireworks imo.

 

[joey]

Everyone says "TRADE DOWN" like it's as easy as typing it.

Can we get a moratorium on that phrase?! I've seen it about

50 times in this thread.

Sheesh...

Plus, we have Scottsdale here, which is like a mini-LA in case Matt starts jonesing for silicon.

 

[The Gator]

When the Rams go D, do the Browns take Cutler?

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

Are the Rams down on Bulger?

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Leinert 06 = Roeth 04. Who woulda thunk.

Sometimes sliding down does better for your career, as you get to better teams and situations.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Warner's got to be livid. He wasn't very happy when the Giants took Eli.

 

[lebowski]

Lions should have traded down.

agreed but at least it wasn't a qb or wr.

I know people would've ripped them for a QB pick, but IMO they were quite stupid not to take Cutler or Leinert. I mean cmon Kitna and McCown pretty much blow or at best are solid/hopeful backups.I guess Millen cares what people think after all.

I disagree with you completely. I think Kitna will be a good band-aid qb this year with McNown taking over at some point. He had some pretty good games in arizona something Joey never did. Defense wins championships and the Lions are trying to do that.

If they can get some decent Oline play, they'll be amazing. They'll probably be amazing anyway.

They are also opening a state of the art new stadium this fall (Dome).

Kitna's had several solid seasons as an NFL starting QB, and in his last season as a starter he was top 10 in almost every passing category.I guess you and I have different definition of "pretty much blows".

And Davids should be saying Boo Hoo instead of Click Clack

I don't know - I wouldn't feel too good watching my #1 target talking up cutler on the TV!

I only heard the tail end. I heard him mention Tye Hill. Was he thinking that might be the pick?

Don't forget about Dan O and Martz. Let Martz work his magic with those guys.

There a magical new invention called "air conditioning". Works wonders in the heat.

 

[Wheelhouse]

As soon as Cutler is picked I'm gonna go grab some lunch.

When your carrear is over its Rings and Pro Bowls that count!! While the Cards have a bad history they seen to have changed their colors and are about to make their mark. They also hired a great offensive line coach in the off season so I expect them to make there mark.They also have a nice new air conditioned stadium.

I highly doubt Orlovsky will be with the Lions next season. I expect Marinelli and Martz to draft a QB prospect of their own with a late round pick.

A TRADE?! Denver gets Cutler?

really?I'm looking at 4 newspaper mocks who all had the exact Top 9 and only 4 of those picks are correct.

It's looks to be anything but predictable.

 

[The Hardline]

LOL @ Suzy calling Matt an "outcast".

 

[Pole Cat]

Eagles are looking pretty good. Didn't have to trade up.

Bunkley

Ngata

Justice

all on the board!!

 

[Cowboys#1]

broncos trade up

 

[Billy1x]

Denver just took Cutler!!!!!!!!!
