To me, too many picks that seem obvious. The draft never goes that predictably. If Gholtson is ahead of McFadden, i'll be very surprised.
I would be suprised if he didnt.
I'm not saying that Jerry Jones is Al Davis, but with Jerry pulling the strings the most logical, "need filling" pick is far from assured.
Technically, Dallas has zero running backs on the roster although MB3 pretty much has to sign his one year tender or sit out so it's assumed he will sign it. But they clearly have a need to add another RB in this draft that can contribute immediately.As for the CB position, they have Newman, Henry, Alan Ball, and Courtney Brown on the roster. Ball gets good reviews from his teammates and may be a guy ready to step in and play this year. If they add Pacman, CB is still a need but not quite as pressing.WR is also a need for them with Glenn's injury history. Who else is behind Owens and Crayton? Sam Hurd has potential but they clearly need to add another guy to that mix too. All 3 of those positions as well as safety are needs.
LOL at the experts sometimes. I agree SEA should be looking at RB. I think the WRs in this draft leave a lot to be desired. Anyone desperate enough to draft a WR in the 1st is just that, desperate.

4 rbs in the 1st and 4 in the 2nd. That seems like a lot to me, but yeah good for FF.
Oh sure. Not commenting on the accuracy, more on the fun.msommer said:Chaos Commish said:4 rbs in the 1st and 4 in the 2nd. That seems like a lot to me, but yeah good for FF.
I remember feeling this exact way last year. I'm not there yet this year, but I am close.Chaos Commish said:
Correct on all counts, but those practice squad CBs are not even close to comfortable for a championship caliber team like this. I expect them to take an RB early. I'm just worn out on Felix Felix Felix which is pretty clearly a nod to the Arkansas connection. Here they pass on Stewart for a WR, then take Felix. No. Please no. That would just be silly, but it doesn't matter. Stewart will be long gone, so they can't make that mistake. Crayton is fine. Hurd is coming along nicely. Austin has plenty of potential. Stanback is a freak talent learning the position. Sure they need to add some competition to the mix, but they have far more pressing needs.Ramblin Wreck said:
ryan could go to the jets (if not ATL or KC)...if BAL thinks they need but could drop a few picks & still get him that would be a shrewd move, though that wouold be taking a chance that soeone doesn't trade UP in front of them...
I disagree. Seattle has to let the draft come to them and not corner themselves by only drafting certain positions. Seattle has enough needs that they can go many different ways and get value in those picks rather than setting themselves on having to draft a RB or WR.
I don't think he's going to ATL. The fanbase is already against him and that is Blank's number one problem as team owner: PR. Dorsey would please the fanbase, work right away, and improve pieces on the defense and the defense as a whole. Assuming he's healthy.KC has bigger needs on both sides of the line and they know it. Also, I don't think Huard or Croyle have worn out their welcome to the point that KC would ignore other glaring needs to draft a shaky prospect to compete with them. The Jets are kinda in the same boat with Clemens. Chances are DMC will be there, and I don't think Ryan would help their offense as much as he would.The only team I could see trading down is the Pats. Ryan would be a reasonable pick at 7, but who would trade up to snag him in front of Baltimore? The only teams I see are the Panthers if they have decided that Delhomme is never going to be healthy (this would make more sense than their Mendenhall pick) but if Baltimore sent out feelers that they want to trade down, teams would be likely to work with them rather than the Pats because of the money they would save from the 7th to the 8th overall. I think that Ryan will fall to Baltimore, and that they will then be able to possibly trade down. However, if they don't trade with Carolina, they pose a risk of losing Ryan to them, so they would have to either agree to a draft-and-trade deal or get assurance that Carolina does not draft Ryan at their spot.
Would be better for FF if they went to places they'd produce. Stewart to SD?Oh sure. Not commenting on the accuracy, more on the fun.msommer said:Chaos Commish said:
