#### and you guys said the Chargers were idiots for moving down. Here we are at 30th and the same guys they were looking at for 15th are still there.Kwame Harris/ Wayne HunterEric SteinbachWilliam JosephBoss Bailey/EJ HendersonAny number of DB's and Safety's.Oh yeah we also got a 2nd rounder and won't be paying top 15 money.....SUCKERS

 

[Courvoisier]

Dallas Clark is an awful pick IMOThey already have Pollard and Bailey fits a need and fits in their system perfectly. He reminds me alot of D. Brooks and they run the same system as TB. I would have thought they'd be salivating to get him!

Like Denny was talking about, the Colts are largely a 2 TE, singleback offense so having 2 good ones is important.

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

Maybe they'll trade him to Oakland

That was my thought -- they are trying to set up a trade...to whom, I don't know.

 

[chinawildman]

Lots of good players available to niners here.... don't botch it terry...

Guess thats why they are the GMs and we are sitting chatting on a fantasy website

 

[Chris Smith]

That is a good value pick for the Giants. He has as much upside as the DT's drafted in the mid-first round and earlier. I like him much better than Ty Warren.Great pick

 

[Jimmy James]

As a Dolphin fan, I gotta hope that somebody hops in front of the Packers so they don't get Boss Bailey. Miami needs to get something for Rodgers...

 

[Beerguzzler]

Ok now you can knock one guy off. William Joseph. Nice pick NYG

 

[Desert_Power]

yes please

 

[faede]

Joseph is a great pick.These picks are going to be GREAT value picks due to some seriously questionable picks in the middle of the draft.Again, as a packer fan I am in heaven!! Boss Bailey or E.J. Henderson look to fall nicely into the packers lap... something i'd have NEVER thought would have happened.E.J. Henderson/Boss Bailey and Chris Simms (through some sort of trade I'd imagine) and I'll be in Green and Gold heaven.F

 

[fbCaldwell]

When Larry Johnson get to KC he can stay at my place till he gets settled in.

Okay... I keep calling for Harris and Bailey to be picked, so here I go again.Harris to SF #26Bailey to KC #27

Looking at this draft they could have had both!

 

[Beerguzzler]

Forgot about Mike DOss. He could potentially be a pick as well. I really can't beleive Steinbach is still on the board....Granted we got Fonoti the same way last year...Fonoti and Steinbach...OOOHHH. LT would be very very happy

 

[cracKer]

I agree. Marcus Pollard proved pretty much worthless as the only reliable tight end on the team. When they have two, things work much better.

 

[JZilla]

E.J. Henderson/Boss Bailey and Chris Simms (through some sort of trade I'd imagine) and I'll be in Green and Gold heaven.

heh heh... Chris Simms and I'll be in ANTI-Green & Gold heaven.

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

As I mentioned, I am almost sure that Buffalo is setting up a trade.1. Travis Henry just re-upped through 2005 -- he only had 1,400 yards and 13 TDs last year.2. A guy coming off of a horrendous knee injury playing on TURF when it is 5 degrees and snowing? I think not.

 

[Desert_Power]

There goes Harris

 

[faede]

Harris to SF #26

You knew you were gonna get it right SOONER or later F

 

[JZilla]

That's a good pick for the Niners.

 

[Jimmy James]

There goes Harris

Yeah...too bad. I didn't see him lasting until Miami could trade up, though.

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

The Titans are not believing their good fortune. They wanted a CB but didn't think 1 of the top 4/5 CB in the draft but didn't think they'd have a chance.To the best of my knowledge only Newman and Trufant have been picked. Plus, Boss Bailey may still be on the board, too. Boss Bailey and Keith Bulluck in the same LB set? Geez. Forget turning the corner, baby.

 

[bts4bkfst]

2. A guy coming off of a horrendous knee injury playing on TURF when it is 5 degrees and snowing? I think not.

Actually, I think this works in a players favor. Most injuries to the knees happen when a player plants his foot and the knee just keeps going. If the foot doesn't plant, the knee and foot will stay aligned. That's why grass is favorable to turf, it gives.

I think you are right, but it won't happen until next season. And i think it will be Hnery that is traded.

 

[neiondeion2k3]

This draft has had some of the most surprising trades that I've ever seen.

 

[fbCaldwell]

You knew you were gonna get it right SOONER or later F

If you keep naming the same guy over and over, you can eventually get it right. :rotflmao:

 

[aaronr28]

As a Bills fan, I'm happy with the McGahee pick. The Bills addressed all of their major needs in the offseason this year, and I'm confident that Donahoe and Modrak will find talent at DE/DT/WR/TE in the next couple rounds. Everybody thought the Saints were crazy when they drafted Deuce after the Ditka trade for Ricky Williams. Well, that eventually landed them 2 1st round picks. The Bills are smart enough to plan for the future, and took the proverbial Best Player Available with a gift pick they got from Atlanta for Price.If they had not franchised Price, they would not have even had the 23rd pick in the draft!When McGahee gets healthy, teams with a need at RB will be lining up for Henry or McGahee next offseason. This pick has more upside than anyone else available in the draft, IMO, and I think it's worth the gamble.There is still the rest of the draft and the June 1st veteran cuts for the Bills to fill needs.

 

[faede]

I think you are right, but it won't happen until next season. And i think it will be Hnery that is traded.

Looks alot like Williams/McCallister. Gotta be. Still, bad bad pick. There was great value on the board at OLine, Dline, LB, even TE or WR.Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrazy draft.

 

[chinawildman]

good upside player in harris... i'm glad they didn't reach for a receiver or Dline with this pick...

 

[TheBigHouse]

how ticked off is Larry Johnson when he's gonna get picked behind a guy who is not even gonna play this year

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

bossbaileyisyournewdaddy

LOL! I might have 2 daddies.Would that not be an unbelievable scenario with those guys at opposite OLBs? Unbelievable.I would be willing to bet, however, that Titans will take one of the following three CORNERBACKS in this order:WoolfolkWeathersbySammy DavisKeep WR Tyrone Calico in mind for their 2nd round pick.

 

[Chris Smith]

good upside player in harris... i'm glad they didn't reach for a receiver or Dline with this pick...

Yes, that was an outstanding pick for the 49ers. Great value.

i agree to a point. neither clark, or pollard can block. usually if you go 2 TE, one of them can block!

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

KC may select: Taylor Jacobs-WR-Florida

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

KC may select: Taylor Jacobs-WR-Florida

I agree -- but second choice, Kelley Washington.

 

[KING]

larry johnson to the chiefs? then they give a big FU to the cards, and jones.

 

[Chris Smith]

KC may select: Taylor Jacobs-WR-Florida

I was thinking about him as well. Could see Larry Johnson here if the team really has doubts about the Priest!

 

[ksbearfn]

Com'on Chefs! There's two LBs you never expected to be there... choose one!

 

[darth vader]

Re Dallas Clark to Indy. Would someone please pick BR (Big Red) off the floor

 

[BoneYardDog]

I dont see henrys value falling, this is great for mcgahee to rehab another year and play in a few seasons

You are dreaming if you think he will play iin a FEW seasons. You must be a henry owner...

 

[ksbearfn]

KC may select: Taylor Jacobs-WR-Florida

Don't think so... they're happy with their WRs.

 

[Chris Smith]

I agree -- but second choice, Kelley Washington.

If Kelly Washington is healthy (I have heard different takes on that over the last couple of weeks), I think he has as big of a upside as Andre Johnson does.It is only his health that is holding him back.

 

[cracKer]

You are dreaming if you think he will play in a FEW seasons. You must be a henry owner...

So you think McGahee will play this year?

 

[jonboltz]

If Kelly Washington is healthy (I have heard different takes on that over the last couple of weeks), I think he has as big of a upside as Andre Johnson does.It is only his health that is holding him back.

Some doctors say he won't be cleared to take hits until August

 

[Norman Einstein]

maybe Kelsay here for the Chiefs?

 

[Chris Smith]

So you think McGahee will play this year?

I think you'll see him get into some games in the second half of the season just to get his feet wet. Don't expect to see much of him though.

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

Ok, I am now thinking that the Titans trade down about 5-8 picks and see if they can pick up an extra pick. They have at least 3 CBs still on the board that they would like, plus Boss.

 

[Harv72b]

This can't be good news for Priest Holmes.
