I won't be able to follow the 4th and 5th rounds so give me something good to read after Church. Thanks.

Guess Houston's first pick? I say... Rob Sims, OG, Ohio State... That OL is gonna be good if they take three in a row...

Owen Daniels, TE, Wisconsin. A pretty good pick. He's a tough QB conversion, with great hands, decent speed, nice blocker.
 
Another excellent move by the Eagles. Andy Reid definitely understands that the game is won and lost in the trenches. I'd switch Buffalo's draft for Philly's draft in a second.

 
Lowry to Ten - not sure I know anything about him - great situation to be in though - what is wrong with Simpson

Brad Smith to the Jets

 
New Orleans got Hollis Thomas and the Phil. #4 (108 overall).

I'm keep hoping that the Eagles and Bills will swap drafts after this is all over with.Edit: What GroveDiesel said. :D

The amazing thing to me is that just about every single Buffalo fan would say the exact same thing. I know that we're just fans and Levy, Modrak and Jauron are the pros, but when every fan and every "expert" thinks the same thing, I just can't see that we're the ones that are wrong.I mean, you have just about everyone out there grading the Eagles as one of the top drafts so far and that draft easily could have belonged to Buffalo.

I saw an article yesterday that said that the Bills had Leinart graded as a second rounder and Young graded as a 3rd rounder. :confused: I think maybe they need to fire their entire scouting department...

 
The Bills took Ko Simpson. Guess the Bills didn't have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL last season. :confused: :X

 
did the bills need two safeties? ko simpson

maybe levy and wilson thought they were in the 1st round again :lmao:

Marv Levy and Co. are senile......their draft looks like it came from a magazine based on value and also team needs....they needed a OT here.

 
Another trade trade - STL moves up to #16 by swapping picks with SD and giving them Brandon Mananmmoergjsdkjhula or something (TE)

Edited for Spelling

Bascially untapped potential!

From ESPN:
Strengths: He is a massive two-gap NT/DT prospect that can be absolutely dominant in spurts. Plays with good leverage when fresh and has proven capable of gobbling up two blockers in those instances. He clogs gaps and seals off the inside run, forcing RB's to bounce a lot of runs to the outside. He protects his LB's well and allows them to roam. He shows the lower body strength and overall mass to overpower offensive linemen at the POA. He will show some surprising quickness when he is fresh. Also, while he doesn't have great speed or athleticism as a pass rusher, he does collapse the pocket when fresh. He is a one-dimensional pass rusher but he shows the initial burst, power and size and drive the OC back into his QB. He has been extremely durable and he is a high-character person with no off-the-field baggage.

Weaknesses: Production is entirely too inconsistent. Lacks conditioning and stamina. Has a tendency to wear down quickly. When that's the case, he comes out of his stance too high, loses his leverage and becomes much less effective. His weight will need to be consistently monitored in the NFL and he will need coaches to stay on him regarding his conditioning. He seems to lack ideal natural instincts at times. Not a great pass rusher. Does not show the burst through the LOS or the closing speed to make a huge impact in that facet at the NFL level. May never be more than a two-down player.

Overall: Watson appeared in eight games as a reserve DT during his true freshman season in 2002 and he appeared in all 13 games as a backup DT during his sophomore season in 2003. As a junior in 2004, Watson took over as a fulltime starter at NT in the team's new 3-4 alignment and he finished with 37 total tackles, seven TFL and two sacks. He was named All-Big Ten first team by the coaches and All-Big Ten second team by the media in 2004. Watson played in all 12 games and started eight as a senior in 2005 and finished with 40 tackles, 6.5 TFL and two sacks. Watson is a massive DT/NT prospect with an outstanding combination of size, strength, quickness and athletic ability. He is a durable player and a high-character person. However, his inconsistent production and lack of stamina became maddening for Michigan coaches and led to Watson's benching for four games during his senior season. Watson seems to give a good effort when fresh and he can be absolutely dominant during those spurts. However, he tires easily and winds up taking entirely too many plays off throughout the course of a game. Because of the increased demand for a 3-4 nose tackle in the NFL combined with the insufficient supply that typically comes out of the college draft, a team could reach for Watson as early as the first round.

wow...looks like a lot of upside in this guy. Sounds like Denny just needs to tap his potential a little. :thumbup:

I have actually followed Watson for the past two years. This is a good pick for Arizona, this guy can be a monster at times! He needs to get a little fire lit under him, but he can be a great run stopper.
 
John Clayton said two veterans were all ready traded today and there could be more.....anyone know who the two were that got traded?
