Detroit Sam Bradford?Cincy WellsJacksonville Does Crabtree last to the 8th pick?
Would it be Buffalo or S.F. at the 10th spot? Either way, the other team gets the 11th spot. Although I don't like S.F. being in front of the Bills seeing that they took P.Willis right in front of us a couple years back. And how does the NFL do tie breakers?
Crabtree won't make it past Seattle, and there's a chance he won't make it past Kansas City.
Bradford to Detroit seems likely.Cleveland seems like a more likely destination for Wells (or KC with the LJ demanding to leave talk)As the other poster said, Crabtree will be a Seahawk if he's still on the board.
Don't kid yourself, he may not even make it past Detroit. You know how they love to draft WR's. Even with Millen gone, I wouldn't put it past them.
Fixed.Detroit Sam Bradford?Cincy Wells Cincy takes Crabtree and sends C. Johnson off to Miami..Benson is the real deal, found himself a home in Cincy, will be 2009 starting RB for the team.
Jacksonville Does Crabtree last to the 8th pick?
Tebow will be lucky to be a first rounder, and probably won't go until around the third.
Tebow is a gimmick player. He will never be a true NFL qb.
Agree wholeheartedly. I've said it a couple times on this board, but we're too FANTASY oriented to see the top RB fall out of the top 10.Ramblin Wreck said:

If he makes it that far... definately not Wells though.My guess for Cincy's board.Tanner9919 said:Fixed.ChrisCooleyFan said:Detroit Sam Bradford?Cincy Wells Cincy takes Crabtree and sends C.

So you're saying there's a chance?0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 % chance the Browns take a RB at #5.
I would love for the Browns to draft Maulagua (sp?)
I think they go with Curry or Jenkins.I would love for the Browns to draft Maulagua (sp?)
You see Crabtree falling past Seattle?I guess I like Crabtree going to Oakland, that is, if we solidify the O-line in the offseason. Russell, McFadden and Crabtree would be a very nice young trio of playmakers on offense (and let's not forget about Miller at TE), but they can't possibly live up to the potential with an average O-line.Now that I'm reading it, I think it's highly unlikely for AD to pass on a big name talent like Crabtree if he's available at 7, regardless of whether we've addressed the O-line in FA or not.
You think Oher drops that far? I like Curry, but #3 to KC is too high IMO when they have other pressing needs. Crabtree's a wildcard if Seattle takes Stafford, I wouldn't be shocked if he fell to Jacksonville and he'd make a nice 1-2 punch with the finally developing Matt Jones.
Quite possibly. He'd be a great fit there for sure, but they have a bunch of guys that they've been developing that they may give another chance to (Payne, Taylor, Obomanu) even though they've underperformed to date.
Oher is my #2 player behind Bradford, so I think he could even go ahead of Smith depending on what a team is looking for in their LT. It would surprise me to see him fall, but only a bit.Curry to KC is a bit high, but they need an impact player on defense and Curry is the #1 guy in that mold this year. I like Orakpo, but he's not that special. KC is another team that could take just about any of the top guys and improve their team. Even Crabtree would be a good pick for them.
The Lions are idiots if they don't trade down. Way too many holes on that team to be drafting #1.
Either way, it's good news for the Raiders if two QBs and a CB go before our pick. If Oher/Smith/Crabtree are left when the Raiders pick, it's good news. As of today, anyway........
Unfortunately, it is pretty much impossible to trade down. The Lions, I am sure, would love to trade down. Who would want the pick?
Yeah, I can't see Curry going that high. LB'ers are just not highly coveted positions at the top of the draft. Same sort of thing with Jenkins. I think he is the best defensive prospect out there, but Corners are rarely drafted that high. Someone in the 5-10 range is going to get a steal with him.
There's always a GM out there willing to pull the trigger on draft day for the right price.

History suggests that is not the case. Charley Casserly tells the story about when he had the #1 pick for the Texans. He called the Jets GM, and asked if he was interested in the #1 pick. Jets GM replied, "Sure, what are you gonna give me to take it?"
he could go above Monroe, but I'm not sure. We have at least 4 very good LT prospects in this draft. Very promising for teams in the top half.
They have 3 of the first 33 picks. More would be overkill.
exactly! and it's way too soon to give up on Orlovsky (or Stanton for that matter)
I mentioned that I believe he is a top 10 talent. There's going to be a lot of jockeying for position with the top four offensive tackles. It all depends on what team sees what during this offseason evaluation process.
Oh I agree that LBs are not normally taken that high. I don't understand why. Urlacher was taken 8th I believe and was worthy. Patrick Willis should have gone higher than 11th.Looking at the Chiefs, with all their holes to fill, I just think that an impact linebacker is where need meets the talent available. Curry would make their front seven a lot better, even if it's too early to take a linebacker.My mocks at this period of the year are done more from the perspective of what I'd do if I were the GM. The closer we get to draft day, and the more tea leaves I read, then I switch to what I think the team will actually do.
