I'm real high on Watson. Predicted he could be the best DT in the draft when all is said and done.Depends on what you want in a DT.
McCargo will be the better pass rush DT, but Watson will plug the middle and is an ideal 3-4 NT.
Oakland picks...Roger McIntosh OLB The U
Outstanding athletic ability...Has great speed and quickness with a burst to close...Can make plays sideline-to-sideline due to his range...Playmaker who is always around the action...Good tackler. Will look nice next to Kirk Morrison and Danny ClarkGood pick here. Their linebacking corps would be crazy with this addition.The other area of terrible need is o-line. So you had to be thinking that as an option too, right?
Sorry, guys - work crisis arose. Rare that it happens, but it does from time to time.That was the player I was going to pick anyway, so well done and thanks for covering for me !Evilgrin seems to be away and this makes sense.
2.3 Marcus McNeil (OT, Auburn)
Has the tools to be a franchise LT for the next decade.
Mainly, if Green Bay is going to install more of a zone blocking O-Line, Jean-Gilles might be a little too big and slow for that. Joseph doesn't have the quickest feet either, but I do feel he is more mobil than the other top guards. That's really the only reasoning I used. Pretty plain and didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking about it.I did consider Maroney, but that is more becuase of selfish reasons of me being a huge fan of his and the value of him as an early 2nd is not too bad.Good reasoning, then. Was there a reason you went Joseph over Jean-Gilles? Personal preference?It was and with limited time I didn't spend as much time debating the pick as I could have. With the top guards left I decided to go that route and help the running game.Chatman was let go because McCarthy wants big WR's. Moss doesn't exactly fit that, although he would be nice as a return man.Tough pick for the Pack here. I can see them taking a chance on Sinorice Moss or Donte Whitner here.per Kleck at 2.4
1. Davin Joseph, G -- Oklahoma
After Marguard was signed, I don't see saftey being as big of a need so I passed on Whitner.
Scouts graded him above Chris Chester OC Oklahoma.2.9 Arizona - Greg Eslinger OC MINNESOTA
My Falcons were considering him with their next. Great pick. Especially for a rotten Cardinals line.2.9 Arizona - Greg Eslinger OC MINNESOTA
ooooo... somebody wants somebody bad.The Falcons would like to trade their 2nd and one of their two thirds to move up ASAP.

 Wait until I am on the clock.Not sure yet.Offer sent.

Buffalo.Who's up by the way????
This would be nice for them. Good pick.Sorry had to take a call
Buffalo 2.10 - Gabe Watson (DT, Michigan)
Has the size, speed, and potential to be dominant.
Where I thought Ngata would go in the first....this would be a dream scenario for themThis would be nice for them. Good pick.Sorry had to take a call

While Watson is better in the 3-4, Justice/Watson would be a great start to the draft.Where I thought Ngata would go in the first....this would be a dream scenario for themThis would be nice for them. Good pick.Sorry had to take a call

Cleveland gets a steal here....imoPick 43= 470 points***Trade***
Atlanta trades their 2.47 and 3.93 for the Browns' 2.43.
While I'm holding out hope for Duckett, in another system, this is a pretty good pick.I would prefer to see Atlanta package Duckett and a pick to move up, but this is good.I may get savaged for this but this makes sense to me.
They've addressed the safety, d-line, and o-line all at least a bit. The value here is too much for them to pass up. In actuality, it's probably not a 3rd, but a 4th rounder involved in the tradeup, but I didn't want to think too hard here.
Dunn is nearing the end (and may get cut) and Duckett just isn't panning out.
2.43 - Laurence Maroney
The Falcons aren't that far away and need to shore up this area of the roster the most.
as a Cleveland Fan i would love to see a draft day trade like thisCleveland gets a steal here....imoPick 43= 470 points***Trade***

Cleveland has multiple needs and decent talent still on the board.
THe extra 3rd too much to pass up on.
We'll see.:cough: Addai :cough:Overrated. Maroney at this point is terribly underrated.
 I like Bankerguy's side of this trade.....I'm pretty sure that Atlanta wouldn't give a 3rd, but like I said, it was the easiest to deal with. I could see both Baltimore and Philadelphia taking Maroney, so I felt the need to trade up.I would prefer to see Atlanta package Duckett and a pick to move up, but this is good.
He's better than people are giving him credit for, that's for sure.The big reason he had a down year was a bad ankle and TERRIBLE overuse by his college coach who was in the hotseat.Good pick for the falcons. You gave up a lot but having two third rounders helps. Maroney's the guy I though you wanted when you looked to move up. I think he's a bit of a system back, but great value at this point in the draft.
I agree that he is well worth it at this point in the draft. I just worry about RBs that come from schools that seem to always have a productive RB. His back-up, who's name escapes me right now, had over 1,100 yards and more than 6 per carry.He's better than people are giving him credit for, that's for sure.The big reason he had a down year was a bad ankle and TERRIBLE overuse by his college coach who was in the hotseat.Good pick for the falcons.

Look at the stretch in the middle of the season. He rushed 46, 16, 36, and 43 times in a four week stretch. The guy's a stud and getting him in the mid 2nd is crazy.
Donte Whitner. They almost faint when he's still available.jmon348 -Baltiomre 2.12

S, CB ?
Gary Russell. It's sad, the kid's not even on the Gophers roster now due to academic problems.Marion Barber III shared a backfield with Maroney and he did very well for the Cowboys last year. They're both just that good, IMO.His back-up, who's name escapes me right now, had over 1,100 yards and more than 6 per carry.
Agreed.Donte Whitner. They almost faint when he's still available.jmon348 -Baltiomre 2.12

The only other option I can see is to take an o-lineman.Edit: Whitner's too good to pass up, though.anyone else have an opinion on this pick?
Does this move Reed to SS?Donte Whitner. They almost faint when he's still available.jmon348 -Baltiomre 2.12

I don't think so. Whitner is more of the SS mold. But they're both undersized for the SS spot, that's true.Does this move Reed to SS?Donte Whitner. They almost faint when he's still available.jmon348 -Baltiomre 2.12

I don't know. Trent Cole played pretty well the 2nd half of the season last year.Philadelphia Eagles Select - Mathias Kiwanuka DE BC
I think he is a perfect fit to thier DE rotation. Some teams are looking at him as a OLB in a 3-4, which i also take to mean he can fit in a zone blitz scheme and occasionally drop into coverage.

Maybe it's not a legit comparison.But think about the last time Philly picked a front-7 guy from B.C.Philadelphia Eagles Select - Mathias Kiwanuka DE BC
