Top7 players gone with the top7 picks? (1 Viewer)

[JayMan]

I'm far from being a draftnik like many here... but it's seems that there is a concensus, there are seven 'elite' talents in this year's draft (maybe you disagree at this point already!):

Russell;

Johnson;

Quinn;

Adams;

Thomas;

Landry;

Peterson.

Every year it seems that an 'elite' (or perceived elite talent) one falls off (A. Rodgers to name one) - mainly because of team needs... it is possible that these top7 guys are gone with the top7 picks?

Is there a scenario (involving trades or not) where the 7 first picks involve no 'surprise' or 'reach' ala Donte Whitner last year (no one had this one coming, I'm pretty sure... 8th pick? come on)?... or are you certain that one of Brown or Carriker or Willis or else will sneak in?

Seems to me that the odds are in favors of at least a 'surprise'... which 'elite' one loses alot of money then?...

Adams is not an elite prospect. He is merely the "supposedly" highest rated DE in a deep class of DEs with no elite players. He measures up similar to Kiwanuka who was chosen a year ago behind 4 other DEs. I would suggest that Willis is elite though MLBs are rarely drafted at that level.

Now guys, don't you go and scrap the great setup I made above with these comments... Like I said, I certainly know alot less than you guys, but it's common knowledge that Adams will be gone in the first 7 picks - right? Whether he's an 'elite' talent or not (probably the scarcity of this year's talent at DE from your comments)... Top7 guys are gone with the top 7 picks? (assuming Adams is one and Willis is not)

So maybe Adams isn't really in the top 7 players? I do agree that whoever is in the top 7 players will be gone in the top 7 picks.

Okoye could easily push his way in there.

And if Peterson goes at #3, why couldn't Quinn fall? Something screwy always happens on draft day.

Ideally this is what should happen until perceived elite talent is gone. Leaving an elite talent on the board in order to fill a need with a very good player is almost always an error unless the team in question passes a franchise QB because it already has one.

Really I was trying to be ironic, but I was a little too subtle.

In the case of Rodgers, it's tough because drafting a QB in the first round is such a commitment.Teams without glaring needs at RB (see the Saints last year), WR, OL, or anywhere on defense can find a spot for an elite player. He can play in a committee, change positions, make someone else change positions, whatever. But you can't play 2 QBs, and a first round QB pick when one isn't necessary can lead to locker room grumbling.

 

[FairWarning]

As long as the Raiders, Lions, and Cardinals are in the top seven, this scenario can never happen.

Your question isn't really whether the ELITE talents will be in the top 7. It's whether the projected top 7 players go in the top 7. I'll say probably not.

6 for 7 for the 'concensus'... only Brown sneaked in... and Quinn was left out...

you guys are crazy. quit listening to the talking heads, Brady Quinn is a second round talent who the media loves because he works out well and is a nice polite ND guy. Levi Brown is a FAR better talent/pick than Quinn. And don't even get me started on what a better pick Joe Thomas is for CLE than he Mighty Quinn
