NFL Draft

Its that time of the year to engage in highly speculative guessing, who are going to be the top 5 picks? Mock drafts are never on, but its fun guessing. Cininnati is a wild card, I have no idea who they are going to go for, any guesses?

My picks

  1. Carson Palmer
  2. Charles Rogers
  3. Terrell Suggs
  4. Terrance Newman
  5. Andre Johnson

Please dont debate me on my pics, especially if you dont have your own to give. Its only a SWAG (scientific, wilda__, guess)
Will I be wrong, very likely!

One interesting note, Miami, for the second year, is going to lose half of the O-line to the draft. All you Canadians should be proud, two starting O-line from Miami are from Canada and are in the draft. What are you guys doing up north???

-couple of questions:

Why is PSU tailback Larry Johnson so underated?
Dorsey has been taken a lot of flack, is he really that bad?
Any idea when McGahee will be picked?
How about Leftwich, a major wildcard pick.

i think macgahee was on his way to being a top ten draft pick untill he hurt himself. i’m not sure if he’ll even go in the first round anymore. larry johnson was underrated while he was in college too, that’s a good question.

Why is PSU tailback Larry Johnson so underated?
i don’t even want to get into this one, all i will say is: 4.3 seconds for the pro shuttle.
Dorsey has been taken a lot of flack, is he really that bad?
no. he needs to put size on though. plus his arm has been rated by scouts as below average. good leader though.
Any idea when McGahee will be picked?
late 1st round, no doubt. whoever drafts him will put him on IR this year though.
How about Leftwich, a major wildcard pick.
there are quite a few teams who have him as the number 1 qb in the draft. a true pocket passer with a cannon. replica of drew bledsoe.

charles rogers tested positive for a masking agent recently i believe, although it shouldn’t affect his status. i don’t think suggs will go top 5 either after asu’s pro day. i like andre johnson as a sleeper, he’s so raw, but has all the tools. i think he’ll make a big impact his rookie season. gotta love him and newman the two track guys.

Yes, suggs going top 5 is definitly no safe bet. His performance was bad at asu pro day, no argument at all. He is such a freak of nature on the field, I had to pick him high. Leftwich could go early, its definitly up in the air.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

ESPN reported today that Suggs will workout again before the draft. Obviously if he has a good one he will move back up.

Rodgers, and another player from Pitt, both tested for the masking agent. Both claim it is from drinking too much water during the combine.

1st pick is official
