[Colin Dowling]

Landry or Nelson SHOULD drop to the Titans. If not, Moses will be there. I would have rather them made the playoffs, especially since they would be picking about the same spot if they'd won today, but oh well.

 

[JMon348]

If Calvin Johnson gets passed TB, he could be a viking

[Raider Nation]

2. Detroit (3-13)

The card would get to the podium in record time if A-Pete is still on the board here.

RN -- Do you think the Raiders feel they're set at RB with Jordan and Fargas? I can't see Detroit taking APete if they feel Jones is ready for the season.

ESPN is saying that the 3/4 order is subject to a coin flip, so Tampa may end up here. Regardless, if either one at 3 is looking at APete, Goodell no sooner gets the word "clock" out of his mouth and the card will be there.

there is NO WAY Jones will be ready for next season. By all accounts the hope is he's ready by early December at best. Of course, if the Brownies want him bad enough they could move up one spot.....there is a history there....

I sincerely hope you are right but why, now, are you thinking only 1 S will be picked in the first 18 picks?Colin, I feel very confident that the Titans package their 10 picks and move up with 4-5 first day picks. Included in that may be a move up to get one of those safeties.

2007 NFL draft orderESPN.com

The Oakland Raiders will make the first choice of the 2006 National Football League Draft on April 28-29. The order is determined by record. Draft-order ties are resolved by the cumulative record of each team's opponents. The team with the weaker opponents receives drafting priority.

Within a tied segment, non-playoff clubs are given priority over playoff clubs. Priority of playoff clubs within a tied segment will be based on their advancement in the playoffs, but they will not drop out of their tied segment unless they participate in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl champion will select 32nd and the runner-up 31st.

There's some confusion over CLE/TB the rules seem to read that divisional/conf tiebreakers will be used, which would put CLE 3rd because TB beat them. Some are saying there will be a coinflip. Still waiting for a definitive answer.

ESPN reports there will be a coin flip. GBN reporting this...

Media reports out of Cleveland and Tampa weren’t overly helpful in trying to figure out if the tie in the 2007 draft selection order between the Browns and Buccaneers will be broken by a coin flip or as the result of their head-to-head match-up earlier this year. A report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, for example, says the Browns will be picking third this year, while a report in the Tampa Tribune says the Buccaneers will pick ‘third or fourth’. If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip. As noted earlier, Cleveland and Tampa Bay both had 4-12 records and the two teams' opponents had the same winning record. It is always been our understanding in such a case that any head-to-head games are used to decide the tie-break and the Buccaneers and Browns did play earlier in the year with Tampa Bay winning 22-7. The key phrase in the NFL tie-breaking rules appears to be that in regards to draft selection order tie-breaks: "If any ties cannot be broken by strength of schedule, the divisional or conference tie breakers, whichever are applicable, are applied. Any ties that still exist are broken by a coin flip." The first divisional or conference tie-breaker though is head-to-head. We'll stay ion it.

They're hoping Charles Manson drops to them after a poor 40 time.

RN -- Do you think the Raiders feel they're set at RB with Jordan and Fargas?

Honestly, I would think it all depends on how Jordan's injury has progressed.Not that Peterson has been the picture of health, either.

Every offseason we discuss how teams don't trade as much as we do in FF and that we get carried away with the trade ideas. That said....no way he falls that far. A trade will change that if a pick doesn't.For example, I figure the Jets think they have no shot at him. As he fell, their mind would change and the Jets would give up alot to get him. The itch to put a great RB behind those two future stud linemen is just too great.

Passing Calvin Johnson sounds painful.

I'm sure Titans fans were happy to see the team play well with Young at QB, but he played them into a crappy draft pick.

You're right... and there is no way that Thurman Thomas would fall to 40th, Warren Sapp would fall to 12th, and Randy Moss would fall to 21st. For anybody to say there is no way something might happen in a draft that is more than four months away is sheer craziness. People shoot up and down the draft boards in the hours leading up to the draft, to say nothing of the months that lie in front of us.

Those two things REALLY stuck out at me. Buffalo's schedule was absolutely brutal this season. I posted it in another thread as a followup to something that Rudnicki said, but they played EIGHT games against playoff teams this season, six of which were against division winners that included all six of those games against the teams with the 5 best records in the NFL. And not too surprising that Chicago played the easiest schedule in the NFL. And by a pretty fair margin at that. They're lucky that they played the schedule that they played and IMO have very little chance to win the Super Bowl. If their defense was 100% healthy it would be one thing, but with the injuries that they've had and the pathetic play of Grossman I don't think that they have a realistic shot to win 3 straight games against quality opponents.

sorry for the craziness. Feel free to bump this in April when the Vikings take Peterson

If Calvin Johnson gets passed TB, he could be a viking

That'd be great. Would love to see him line up in purple. Our WRs killed us this year and Johnson could be everything we need since Williamson has a catching problem.

 

[Bri]

When was the last time a team traded up to get an RB?

Assuming you mean 1st round, can't think of one. Neither can I think of a time when 7 teams passed a type of back that pro teams have been drooling over for years and he is finally going to be in the draft.

I believe Thomas slipped because of a knee injury and Sapp and Moss because of character issues - I don't think Peterson falls into either category. If we find out differently between now and the draft then maybe he will, but right now I don't see any chance of him falling to #7.

Peterson falling would have nothing to do with his stock. It's just that none of the teams between 4-7 need an RB bad enough to spend such a valuable pick on him. Maybe Arizona or Minnesota falls in love with him and says F need, we're taking the guy we know will be a stud, but there's ZERO chance Tampa or Washington takes him, and Cleveland may opt for a QB or Joe Thomas.

 

[Bri]

Not to throw a monkey wrench in here but having a RB doesn't mean a team will pass up a top level RB in the draft. Saints drafted Bush when they had Deuce and Deuce when they had Ricky.

 

[redman]

Atlanta in 2001 to draft Michael Vick.

Peterson is a RB who I could envision someone trying to trade up to get him though. God knows all of those teams drafting in the top 7 could use more help than the one player that they'd otherwise draft with that top pick.

 

[snorlax]

I think the tiebreaking rules about using the divisional or conference tiebreakers only apply to teams within the same division or conference. Yes, it's pretty wacky, but I think this is how I remember it playing out in the past.

Bush is more than an RB, he's an RB/WR/PR, and he graded off the charts. He's an exception to lots of rules. Deuce went late in the first. I can buy teams taking an RB when they are already established in the 20s and 30s more than I can buy it in the top 10.

So do I take it correctly that the Lions victory over the Cowboys cost the Packers one spot?

If any team trades down for more picks or a vet QB it will be the Bucs at #3
