Here's to moving up to #24 if that order falls into place....

 

[tenordas]

Here's to moving DOWN to #32, know what I mean?
And here's to Marcus McCauley still being available when it comes to our pick...

 

[efil4stnias]

and Patrick Willis falls to the second round? Doubt that.

i would be shocked if the saints pass on zach miller, no matter when they pick

Maybe I am driniking too much purple kool-aid, but all these mocks showing my Vikings drafting a corner baffle me. because we already have Antoine Winfield and Cedric Griffin at Corner Back and our wide recievers dropped more ball than ohh you know who (Anna-Nicole Smith).

I read someone on thiese boards mention Dwayne jarrett has attitude problems?? So are you saying he is another Randy Moss type?

 

[Saint Greg]

Willis and Okoye should be in there....Jake Long shouldn't. He's going back to Michigan.

Well we all know this draft isnt gonna happen, there are way to many "Name" players in the first round, and there is always an influx of small school or bad programs that create good players that go in the first round, linebackers, corners, offensive lineman, defensesive lineman all come from these school and jump ahead of some big name guys.

I love Willis but I would be more than happy with Miller. We already have an offense that creates multiple mismatches and adding another will only make it even more unstoppable. I think we had a problem scoring on goal line plays and a premium TE would help that tremendously. This would be a perfect way to pick up the slack from Horn as he declines and is more injury prone.

I think if we can just pick up one premium defensive player like Clements and then just one upgrade at DT like Haynesworth or MLB like London Fletcher who are significant upgrades although not pro bowl caliber players that the defense would be fine.

I think late round tight ends have a very good record of success and I think if you can fix the one weakness on the offense that it is worth it, it will only make every other part of the offense that much more effective.

Troy Smith should go third to cleveland.
