Top 15 Picks (1 Viewer)

[Imedos]

since this is basically a "rip Cowherd" thread, I'll chime in.

Cowherd sucks, and it pisses me off that they got rid of Kornheiser for this crap.

The only time I find the herd worthy of listening to is if the guest is interesting. Cowherd adds no real insight, is not entertaining, and is a whiney #####.

I hate the DP show, but even that is way superior.

What DO you like?

I really like the sports bash. Eric Cassilias(sp?) is a good host.Mike and Mike is okay when they aren't goin on and on about how "metro" greeny is.

other than those 2, I don't really listen to sports radio shows with any sort of regularity.

Colin Cowherd, host of "The Herd" On ESPN Radio, gave his Top 15 for the NFL Draft.

Take it for what it's worth:

6. San Francisco 49ers

Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon

 

[Billy Ball Thorton]

I can't believe Cutler's going to go ahead of VY. I'm not doubting Herd, I just can't believe it.

He won't. Trust me.

 

[Billy Ball Thorton]

I would swap Cutler and Young, and the Eagles won't take Lendale IMHO, but otherwise

Good posting VY was in AZ tuesday to have dinner with some coaches from cards team.Denny knows hot to coach BIG athletic mobil QB's.

 

[Assani Fisher]

13. Baltimore Ravens

Vince Young, QB, Texas

Comment: Again - story of the first round - Young is NOT the first Longhorn drafted. Herd bigtime down on VY - snaps out of the shotgun, Wonderlic, "does better when not coached", etc....

I will be if this happens!

 

[bagger.]

i'd rather have kyle boller than vince young.

 

[LHUCKS]

White doesn't fit into Philly's traditionlay receiving RB role at all...not saying he can't handle it, but it just doesn't seem like a fit.

But the back we need is a power back to compliment Westbrook. We can only hope that they grab White, at least it would be a better plan than hoping Buckhalter doesn't get hurt again. I think they will get a power back, and since it doesn't look like they will be doing it through FA they will have to draft one. If they get one in the 1st round or not is another question.

Understand your point, but do you draft a "compimentary" back in the middle of the first round?

That's why you aren't employed in the front office of an NFL team.

Also a good point. Probably not. I think Andy will pick either OL or DL, which I think he would do every year except for when he needs a QB. I think it is just wishful thinking for a city that wants a running game more than anything.

My thoughts on the first four picks.

1. Houston Texans

Reggie Bush, RB, USC

Comment: Duh!

2. New Orleans Saints

D'Brickashaw Ferguson, T, Virginia

Comment: No way they go Williams. They either trade this pick, draft Leinart themselves (not a bad idea, actually), or take Ferguson



3. Tennessee Titans

Matt Leinart, QB, USC

Comment: I don't know if they've decided whom they'll pick - they seem to like all the QBs. And don't rule out a trade down with the Jets if NO doesn't take Leinert.

4. New York Jets

Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt

Comment: Mario Williams is available, and the Jets could trade up or down here too, but I don't think Williams is the man. He's a 4-3 end, and between Ellis, Olhoeffen, and Robertson it's hard to see where he might fit. Besides, 3-4 teams get pass-rush out of the blitzing LB primarily, so why spend on a premium DE?

 

[Englishteacher]

Colin Cowherd, host of "The Herd" On ESPN Radio, gave his Top 15 for the NFL Draft.

Take it for what it's worth:

1. Houston Texans

Reggie Bush, RB, USC

Comment: Texans will go 7-9 this year.

2. New Orleans Saints

Mario Williams, DE, North Carolina

Comment: They have Brees, he likes their offensive personnel, needs to bone up the defense.



3. Tennessee Titans

Matt Leinart, QB, USC

Comment: Leinart will be reunited with his old OC Norm Chow.

4. New York Jets

D'Brickashaw Ferguson, T, Virginia

5. Green Bay Packers

A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State

Comment: They are hyping Vy Young (and anyone else) to distract people away from getting Hawk, whom the covet.

6. San Francisco 49ers

Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon

7. Oakland Raiders

Michael Huff, S, Texas

Comment: They could go QB, but after getting Brooks and with Walters and Tui in camp, they have other needs to also address. Story of the first round - Young is NOT the first Longhorn drafted.

8. Buffalo Bills

Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland

9. Detroit Lions

Jimmy Williams, DB, Virginia Tech

Comment: Detroit will (finally) go defense in the first round and desperately need a shutdown corner.

10. Arizona Cardinals

Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt

Comment: This is the team that is the key to the Top 15. HC Denny Green needs to win NOW, but they like Cutler. Don't ask me - his picks not mine.

11. St. Louis Rams

Ernie Sims, LB, Flordia State



12. Cleveland Browns

Chad Jackson, WR, Florida

Comment: Shooting up the charts with his impressive workouts.

13. Baltimore Ravens

Vince Young, QB, Texas

Comment: Again - story of the first round - Young is NOT the first Longhorn drafted. Herd bigtime down on VY - snaps out of the shotgun, Wonderlic, "does better when not coached", etc....

14. Philadelphia Eagles

LenDale White, RB, USC

Comment: McNabb just needs some help in the backfield.

15. Denver Broncos

Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State

I think I should bone up my resume' , I always wanted to work for ESPN.
