Lendale White

It looks like he's going to slip to a better team. I think you'll see this guy perform at a very high level, very fast. Prototype for NFL power back.

DeAngelo Williams

Didn't even have to think about it.

Depending where he actually goes that's my pick. I'm always a defense first guy but I'd love to see the Pats grab him. Combine him with a healthy line that's a year older and the Pats O could really be dangerous.
 
Claude Wroten DT LSU

With the marijauna arrest and testing positive, he will be drafted in the late 2nd or 3rd rounds (maybe later).

If he stays clean, he is a monster. Great value pick.

Edit: Should have seen that it was for just the first round. In the 1st round I think it will be Chad Greenway

Without reading this thread, my thought went first to DeAngelo. Really, any of the backs taken late are going to a good team and should be very successful. There will be a huge perception of value from these guys.

I will go with White IF he lands in Pittsburgh. He would be a great fit there.
 
Gee, an FF board where the first few SODs are RBs. Go figure. At least lawfitz and t-man are thinking outside the box.

I'll go with Jimmy Williams, if he's a Chief.

 
If Vince Young drops to the Raiders - SOD.

If Jason Allen drops to the bottom of the first he will be SOD(should go between 12-16,imo)

Easier question to answer once the GMs finish butchering the draft.

That has nothing to do with my DeAngelo Williams selection.

Don't get me wrong, I like DeAngelo, most of us are just focused on him from a FF perspective. I don't think he'll have the same impact in the standings as other players.

Steal, to me, insinuates that a player will be drafted later than they should be. Jimmy Williams going at 20 to KC doesn't seem to be a steal. He's been in and out of the top 20 players all year. Guys like LenDale White, Laurence Maroney and DeAngelo Williams have also been projected top 20 players most of the year but as the draft approaches their stock appears to be down. If they are drafted around 30 and play like top 20 picks then you have a SOD possibility.

Jimmy Williams would go in that range in any given year, but DeAngelo would be a much higher pick in years where teams needed RB's.

SOD to me means player who most exceeds their draft slot, for their career.That includes the player with the greatest impact on their team, over a career, taken the lowest.

I can certainly see how White would be the SOD of the 1st round in Pittsburgh.

I don't think that's the only way you can look at a Steal of the Draft. I mean, if you look at the overall first round, that year Randy Moss was picked (top of my head), he was like 17,18, or 19. To me, he's still can be the SOD even though he's not out of the top 20.And, if they're a super stud and drafted highly, they can still be the SOD. For example, the LIons drafted Barry Sanders NO.3. At No.2 that same year, Tony Mandrich out of Michigan State went to Green Bay and Barry slid to Detroit. That's SOD material. If that's not a steal, what is.

:yes: Although some may say Deion was a bigger steal @ 1.05. At least his team won Super Bowls.
 
DeAngelo Williams. He's going to fall to a great team, hopefully out of the AFC East.

Please don't let the Patriots get him. The Jets should take up from #29 to #19 with the Chargers to get DeAngelo and swap 2nd round picks.
 
santonio holmes wr

silky smooth wr that is being forgotten because of the chad jackson hype. holmes is a real football player. dont worry about his size, hes a gamer!

 
It's Cromartie. You'll understand and most will agree before the season even starts. Once you see this guy play healthy you'll wonder how you missed it.

i actually agree with this.Holmes is going to be overlooked in a lot of rookie drafts this year, but i think he's going to be a suprisingly good pro.

i like him a lot more than Jenkins who came out last year.

 
DeAngelo Williams.

He's only had the fourth most prolfiic career of any RB in NCAA history......behind a fairly average line. He runs like Emmitt Smith...low to the ground, smart, good balance, sets up his blockers.

You keep giving this guy the ball and he'll rack up 1400 yards and a dozen TDs and make the play action pass look great, not to mention the benefit of keeping your defense of the field.

I don't understand why he's dropped as far as he has.

 
Drinking the Maroney juice myself.

When all is said and done, I like Greg Jennings to emerge as one of the top WR's in the draft despite probably being the 4th or 5th taken.

Winston Justice, if he falls out of the top ten picks. His "character issues" are more smoke than fire.

I am thinking whoever picks the Brick will wish they had taken Justice four years from now.
 
I think Williams, White and Maroney could all be in great situations. I'll go with Maroney in Indy.

That would be my second pick.

Maroney in IndyWhite in Pitt

Better fit? I lean to White in Pitt. If I remember right Maroney has no hands? Correct me if I am wrong.
