Holmes from OSU, but I think that he may slide down and if not I think that Denver can get a decent WR in the 2nd round. Also, from what I have researched about Williams, he sounds like a back in which the system will amplify his talents, much like that of Clinton Portis...

8588, TAF Clayjaworhogtensen here with WPSN (Warpath Sports Network). Considering the success Shanahan has had with running backs in the later rounds why did you guys decide to draft a back so high in the draft this time?

...I'm going to need some more "reporters" for the all-new WPSN's mock draft coverage. BrudLee, I'm looking your way

You are right about the late round RB's being gems for the Broncos, but if you look at those late gems they were merely products of the system. Shanahan will now have a bonifide top choice back which combined with the system will take much stress off of Plummer and the passing game. Williams is not just a good runner he pretty much can do it all an effective blocker, runs well up the middle, can runaway from people and does a very nice job of receiving out of the backfield. We greatly understand the need to improve our WR group but we feel that we can satisfy that need later on in the draft. A RB the caliber of Williams comes along once in a while and when he is there you have to grab him...

Just ask.

This question is for dmek25 regarding his selection of Winston Justice at the 13th pick for the Ravens.

Given the recent history of the franchise (with mulitple felony convictions), is there any room for Justice in the Baltimore locker room?

those miami guys must have some great gms

The Miami Dolphins will be thanking there lucky stars if M. Huff does fall to them at the #16 spot. Huff is a guy who can wear 2 hats, safety or corner. With Saban being a defensive minded coach where the secondary is said to be his specialty I am sure he can take what is already to be considered an elite saftey and turn him into a pro-bowl saftey in a couple of years...

That Guy · 04-07-2006, 06:38 AM

hey guys, so far so good

no wtf moves yet.

miami got the best projected value thus far taking a top 10 player (huff) at 16 while also filling a primary need, and the raiders had the biggest stretch taking ernie sims at 10, but its not an unreasonable move by any means

.

lets see how the rest of the draft develops. Big decision for MINN now, time to see if the unteted schaub is their answer.

Hahahaha. Safety sandwich a la "Not Another Teen Movie"? I remember when I saw that scene, that's the FIRST thing I thought of. I was like, "Yup, Todd Pinkston".

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-07-2006, 09:23 AM

And for anybody who actually doubted McNabb being a good QB, he's made Todd FREAKIN' Pinkston look good at times.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-07-2006, 03:28 PM

I selected Sinorice Moss for the Vikings to begin to shore up a weakening WR corps. With the loss of Burleson, the Vikings needed some more young talent and Moss fits the bill perfectly.

The Vikings would be starting to have something similar to what Washington has going on for them.

Now just for someone to throw him the ball after Johnson leaves.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-07-2006, 04:17 PM

HA! Remember, there's still a few months for him to get into trouble. Have faith Brud.

The Dallas Cowboys are absolutely ecstatic to see cornerback Tye Hill from Clemson fall into their laps at 18 overall. Hill is only 5-10, but his biggest asset is blazing speed, which is exactly what Dallas needs to match up with the Skins at WR.

Aaron Glenn remains on the roster but is showing his age. At the very least, Hill provides a solid nickel CB for this season, and should pair with Terence Newman for several years as the anchors in the Dallas secondary.

jugg just took jimmy williams, making the bengals abort a trade up attempt and causing quite a bit of sadness.

The KC Chiefs are happy to bring Mathias into to the organization. Coach Edwards feels that with his size and pass rush ability, Kiwanuka will help to bring pressure on opposing QB's that is essential to the cover 2 defense

FRPLG · 04-07-2006, 07:38 PM

With the exodus in NE they are left with few areas of obvious strength. Clealy Belichek can work wonders on defense and they still have a few play makers there so they decided to give their O some help. At 21 a pick on the OL is too early so we are left with skill players. The two most impactful players were Holmes and White. WRs are a dime a dozen in the 1st, and a big fgamble at that, so I decided to take White since Dillon is aging and White seems to have the potential to be a pro-bowler. He is big strong and has that ever sought after nose for the endzone. He takes some pressure off of Brady trying to pass to nobody. We'll get a WR later in the draft.
