HERD's NFL Mock Draft - 2006 (1 Viewer)

[meabeln]

Actually, Al Wilson stands to make a substantial amount of next season, and for what he does on the field, he may not be worth it. In fact, many simply expect him to be cut. With Ahmad Brooks probably off the board at their pick, the Broncos can make a safe pick of either Abdul Hodge or D'Quell Jackson and know that their talent at MLB is substantially upgraded.

Substantially upgraded at MLB over what? Over Al Wilson, or over who ever they would have at MLB if they cut Wilson. If you are saying some rookie is an upgrade over Al Wilson your crazy. This guys is the heart of the defense, the captain for at least the past 4 years. I just dont see the Broncos letting Wilson go. He is worth every penny.

My mistake. My intention was to say whoever the Bronco's have as a backup MLB. Keith Burns is on the wrong side of 30 and pushing 35. Besides. Burns has never made an impact on the D except in a situational role. The Broncos will be elated to get such a high prospect at their presumed draft position (which I believe will be very late) who can immediately step in and start.

I said it last year, and I havnt seen anything different this year, but put me in the boat with the "Vince Young will not be a good NFL QB".

Please note the QB part of that. He certainly has all the athleticism in the world.

Your boat is taking on water and is sinking fast.

I can not say it emphatically enough...

When you combine the usual "I can be the guy that makes him GREAT!" arrogance of most offensive coaching minds with Young's physical talent, it is a lock that he goes Top-10 whenever he comes out.

I am still not sure why people think he was the leader in passing efficiency in college this year by accident. It's not like he threw 3 passes a game to get that - he passed plenty and he was awfully good at it.

Every scout out there who finds a wart on Young needs only to pop in last year's Rose Bowl or this year's OSU game (either OSU, actually) to find what's great about St. Vincent.

We'll know soon enough, although Len Pasquarelli indicates that Young appears to have both feet solidly planted at UT for another year...http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2280007
