Re: Top 10 Pick - Only By Position Needs
Yuck, all of the teams mentioned could use wide receivers. There'll be slim pickens' at that position when the Skins select at #9.
--I think Miami will go with a QB first and foremost.
--Cleveland needs help everywhere, but remember, Romeo Crennel is a defensive guy, so don't be surprised if they concentrate on their D.
--Da Bears need offensive help badly, I don't see them going for a RB, and they're depending on Rex Grossman -- so say goodbye to one of the top wideouts here. Although, you can never discount Chicago's recent knack for taking players they don't need, and Lovey Smith still loves defense. Hopefully we can count on them to screw up another draft this year.
--Tampa most likely goes for a RB, but Gruden wouldn't mind another WR to compliment Michael Clayton. Benson, Cadillac Williams, they've pretty much got the pick of the litter here and they could prove too good to pass up.
--Jeff Fischer loves defense too, so I could see them taking Antrel Rolle here. You also have to take into account the possibility of Steve McNair retiring. That could throw off their entire draft scenario, but I think I heard recently that McNair likely plays for at least one more season. One of the top wideouts could easily be snatched up by the Titans though.
--Arizona is probably the only team you can guarantee will not take a wideout. With Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, plus their 2003 1st rounder Bryant Johnson rounds out a three-wideout threat Denny Green should be happy with. They could look at QB, but it'll likely be a running back and one of the top two prospects out of the backfield will still likely be available. But they also could go defense this year.
Never has a #9 pick looked so bleak for a team that needs help at one particular position.
