Told ya!

 

[Beerguzzler]

WOW. Chargers looking like geniuses here. Steinbach is freefalling to us in the 30th.

 

[Beerguzzler]

Hopefully GB raches for SIMMS with their pick.

 

[Desert_Power]

No, not yet.The only reason for Miami to trade up is to get an OT in the early second. They need to do it then, though.

Yes they do need to it then just getting anxious with some of the players that are slipping

 

[aaronr28]

Buffalo takes Boss and puts him at safety?? That would be sweet.

we already did that whole LB to S thing last year with Coy Wire

 

[MiniDitka]

I would really like to see the commentators laugh at picks like grossman, like levi jones last year

 

[SkyRattlers]

McGahee is waiting around for nothing. Because I've been soooo right about all of this , I will go out on a limb and say that McGahee won't be picked before the 45th selection.

Too early to start ragging on McGahee. Most mocks have him going to the Raiders at 32. At the very least don't you think the Pats will now take him at 41?

 

[ksbearfn]

Oh no bear fans. You want a QB... .trust me!:waves hands: this is not the bailey you are looking for

Oh yeah, sweet pick!

 

[Chris Smith]

Bailey shouldn't drop past # 25. The Colts should scoop him up in a second. He would be a nice fit to that scheme.

 

[fbCaldwell]

No that Faine is gone... Buffalo to go to DE? or is Larry Johnson ready to go?

 

[BlueDredSo]

Yeah I know, its not gonna happen, I was just kinda imagining.

 

[nerangers]

no surprise that Chicago went for a QB...good value here I think.1 Cincinnati CARSON PALMER 2 Detroit CHARLES ROGERS 3 Houston ANDRE JOHNSON 4 New York DEWAYNE ROBERTSON 5 Dallas TERENCE NEWMAN 6 New Orleans JOHNATHAN SULLIVAN (trade with Cards)7 Minnesota KEVIN WILLIAMS (actual #9)8 Jacksonville BYRON LEFTWICH (actual #7)9 Carolina JORDAN GROSS (actual #8)10 Baltimore TERRELL SUGGS11 Seattle MARCUS TRUFANT 12 St. Louis JIMMY KENNEDY 13 New England TY WARREN (trade with Chicago moved up 1)14 Chicago MICHAEL HAYES (trade with Pats moved down 1)15 Philadelphia JEROME MCDOUGLE (trade with SD)16 Pittsburgh TROY POLAMALU (trade with KC)17 Arizona BRYANT JOHNSON (trade with Saints)18 Arizona CALVIN PACE (trade with Saints)19 Baltimore KYLE BOLLER (trade with Pats)20 Denver GEORGE FOSTER 21 Cleveland JEFF FAINE22 Chicago REX GROSSMAN

 

[Harv72b]

Any chance that the Raiders trade up for Bailey at this point? That seems like the kind of thing that Davis would love to do.

 

[neiondeion2k3]

I think the bills go Kelsay

 

[aaronr28]

I would really like to see the commentators laugh at picks like grossman, like levi jones last year

Kiper had Grossman ranked as the 11th best player in the entire draft...I don't think it's bad to get him at #22.

 

[Chris Smith]

WOW. Chargers looking like geniuses here. Steinbach is freefalling to us in the 30th.

That will be tremendous for the Chargers if they land him. That offensive line was considered a weak point only two seasons ago. Imagine Tomlinson running behind a line with the addition of Steinbach

 

[faede]

Bailey shouldn't drop past # 25. The Colts should scoop him up in a second. He would be a nice fit to that scheme.

Quiet you! I'm still living in my happy little dream world!F

 

[CanadianNFLJunkie]

Bills won't go RB now, not with Gary backing up Henry. Bills need depth on DL, WR and secondary so look for their 3 picks today to cover those areas.Also expect Donahoe to trade up/down like he has the previous two years as the Bills Prez.

 

[XNOUGHT]

Pats could trade up for EJ or Bailey!!!!Dunno though.

 

[bueno]

I think the bills go Kelsay

definitely a DE here for the Pats

 

[Franknbeans]

The fact that the Steelers took a safety rather than a RB or QB = good news for Amos Zeroue and Tommy Maddox owners.

Ah, but did you see the Cowher interview saying that Bettis is eager to prove people wrong this year. I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't heard the last from Jerome! Great pick by the Steelers, by the way. He's Pro-Bowl material for many moons.

 

[nerangers]

No that Faine is gone... Buffalo to go to DE? or is Larry Johnson ready to go?

I dont see Buffalo going for Larry Johnson...maybe K Peterson DL Ohio St?

 

[Mr. Andy]

Doesn't tackle well.

Still... he can run a sub-4.4 in the 40 and has had verticals in 46" range before! That qualifies as a freak in my book.Of course, Jevon Kearse was picked at 16th. And even though it's a different situation, Bailey is in the same category as a "'tweener" and will, IMO, be a Pro Bowler for some team. (Thank goodness it won't be the Bears)

 

[BlueDredSo]

Did you just mention the Bills maybe taking Larry Johnson? No, never, never ever. Travis Henry is young and good, they just got Olandis Gary. I hope that you weren't thinking that.

 

[Chris Smith]

Maybe Buffalo will take Taylor Jacobs, WR, Floridawith this pick.They could use another receiver to offset the loss of Price.Edited to insert Buffalo into the sentence instead of they

 

[humans_being]

They have Mcgahee on the phone!

 

[cracKer]

How about a receiver for Buffalo

 

[Norman Einstein]

They have Mcgahee on the phone!

we don't know who "they" is

 

[faede]

I can only think that McGahee is talking to someone else... maybe San Fran?Bills couldn't possibly be thinking about RB now, could they?

 

[humans_being]

we don't know who "they" is

YES!!!!

 

[JZilla]

Holy cow.WTF is Buffalo doing?

 

[Harv72b]

I did not see that coming!

 

[cracKer]

 

[joffer]

I'm hiring Drew Rosenhaus to sell my house.

 

[MiniDitka]

this draft doesnt make any sense, henry, gary and willis

 

[nerangers]

as a Henry Owner...I hate that pick!!!!!1 Cincinnati CARSON PALMER 2 Detroit CHARLES ROGERS 3 Houston ANDRE JOHNSON 4 New York DEWAYNE ROBERTSON 5 Dallas TERENCE NEWMAN 6 New Orleans JOHNATHAN SULLIVAN (trade with Cards)7 Minnesota KEVIN WILLIAMS (actual #9)8 Jacksonville BYRON LEFTWICH (actual #7)9 Carolina JORDAN GROSS (actual #8)10 Baltimore TERRELL SUGGS11 Seattle MARCUS TRUFANT 12 St. Louis JIMMY KENNEDY 13 New England TY WARREN (trade with Chicago moved up 1)14 Chicago MICHAEL HAYES (trade with Pats moved down 1)15 Philadelphia JEROME MCDOUGLE (trade with SD)16 Pittsburgh TROY POLAMALU (trade with KC)17 Arizona BRYANT JOHNSON (trade with Saints)18 Arizona CALVIN PACE (trade with Saints)19 Baltimore KYLE BOLLER (trade with Pats)20 Denver GEORGE FOSTER 21 Cleveland JEFF FAINE22 Chicago REX GROSSMAN 23 Buffalo WILLIS MCGAHEEHe only dropped 22 spots being injured, and was still the first RB taken! lol You think they trade McGahee?

 

[Nathan]

The Bills are suckers.

 

[fbCaldwell]

Did you just mention the Bills maybe taking Larry Johnson? No, never, never ever. Travis Henry is young and good, they just got Olandis Gary. I hope that you weren't thinking that.

No you're right... not Larry Johnson... I meant McGahee

 

[ff weasel]

Wow

 

[The Houston Stallions]

I don't get that at all

 

[CanadianNFLJunkie]

McGahee??????????

 

[JimmyLivealot]

this draft doesnt make any sense, henry, gary and willis

Wishbone Bay-beee

 

[Chris Smith]

WOW I never saw that coming!Unbelievable!

 

[Football Jones]

What's the story with George Foster? As a Portis owner, I'm happy they went with a OL, but I know nothing about this guy. Any UGA homers around here?

Not a UGA homer, but George Foster is a good pick, IMO. He's 6'5" 335 & an excellent athlete. Foster has every tool needed to be a LT in the NFL. He doesn't have a lot of experience, but if he keeps improving, he'll likely become a top player.

 

[MiniDitka]

when is travis henry's contract up? maybe they are grooming mcgahee to replace him after his contract is up

 

[BassNBrew]

That sound you just heard was Henry plummetting down to the late second in the fantasy draft.

 

[Wolverine]

That`s a shocker pick.

 

[faede]

TheCraziestNFLDraftEver!Travis Henry must be fuming.

 

[Norman Einstein]

when is travis henry's contract up? maybe they are grooming mcgahee to replace him after his contract is up

that's the only thing I can think of for this pick

 

[Mr. Andy]

Huh?I thought Travis Henry was good. Geesh.
