Same thing I did a few weeks ago, I'll list 2-3 guys per position (in most cases) plus a projection. Quarterback Stefan LeFors, Lousiville (5-7)-The only QB in the draft that makes sense for us. Prototypical backup for Eli. Nice mobility and accuracy. Average arm. Completes over 75% of his passes. Running Back Leon Washington, Florida Stae (3-5)- Prototypical for this offense. Pretrty good blocker, likes to run inside and can get out on the screen and make a few catches, also a KR. Darren Sproles, Kansas State (5-7)- 3rd down back, pretty shift, has trouble in between the tackles Maurice Clarrett, N/A (6-7)- If anybody can get him to stop acting cracked-out it would be Coughlin. Why not take a chance, let him spell Barber for 2-3 seasons and who the f*ck knows. I dont think he'll be much, but gotta look at the upside Fullback Kyle Eckel, Navy (2-4)- I like him as an Alstott-type short yardage runner, but he'll be gone before we should even be thinking about him. Bigger needs Wide Receiver Roscoe Parrish, Miami (4-6)- Rail thin and never developed into a #1 option, but he can fly. Will take a few seasons to develop and add muscle, but he'll be lookin at 4th on the depth chart next year anway. Airese Currie, Clemson (3-5)- As thin and explosive as Parrish, has some height. (6'3 185) Cant be sure about his hands, but with Taylor and hopefully a FA ahead of him let him develop and run a few verts out of 4 wide. Tight End Dave Kashetta, Boston College (4-6)- One of those Boston College mauler types,. (6'4 250) The blocker we need. Also has some hands but no speed. I dont care, I miss Dan Campbell Alex Holmes, USC (4-6)- Another friendly blocking TE. I'll be happy with either of these guys, will slip down the draft cause of injuries Offensive Tackle f*ck that sh*t, sign somebody im not sitting thorough another year of "He's learning" And we're not drafting a guard or Center eitherr. We need a Tackle, so write a f*ckin check. Defensive End Matt Roth, Iowa (2-4)- Angry motherf'er. Always making an effort and never gives up on a play. Really strong, a couple seasons in the rotation with Strahan and Umenyiora, who knows... Ryan Neil, Rutgers (7) Like Roth always trying to make a play, not the most talented, but he's decent against both the run and pass. really just a young guy we could use to add to the rotation. Defensive Tackle We're not drafting a DT we already have 4. Outside Linebacker Demarcus Ware, Troy State (2-4) Can play LB or DE, edge rusher like Umenyiora, needs to add a little weight. Derek Curry, Notre Dame (4-6) Always around the ball, might not have NFL speed. Depth and Special teams. A.J. Hawk, Ohio State (3-5) I really have no clue where he'll go in the draft. He flys to the ball and doesnt miss tackles. Is decent in coverage and doesnt give up on a play. But, the more I watch the more I think he'll have trouble shedding NFL blocks and keeping containment in this defense. Inside Linebacker Lance Mitchell, Oklahoma (1-2) Coming off an ACL injury so hes not at top speed right now. A little bit of a risk, but has played 3 seasons in the middle of a dominant Oklahoma defense, Runs sideline to sideline and makes tackles. My new best friend. Channing Crowder, Florida (1-2) I doubt he'll leave early, if he does he's the best Mike athlete avaliable. Odell Thurman, Georgia (1-3) Will probably leave early since Georgia is gonna be torn down next year. Good athlete, able to cover and tackle. Cornerback Jimmy Williams, Virgina Tech, (2-3) Great size (6'3 190) and speed (4.45),Id move him to Free Safety (he played a little this year) the day of the day draft. Might not enter the draft Travis Daniels, LSU (3-5) Really plummeted coming off last year could've been been a top 10 corner but he's been inconsistent. Undersized but physical, not a baad guy to have down on the depth chart, a bit of a ball hawk Derrick Johnson, Washington (3-5) Good speed and college level talent, throw him at the bottom of the depth chart and see if he works his way up Strong Safety No Free Safety Vincent Fuller, Virginia Tech (2-4) Flip Flops with Williams. I'll take either. 4.45 speed, good run stopper but might be a bit stiff in coverage. Aaron Francisco, BYU (4-6) Plays rover in BYU's 3-3-5. Nose for the ball and good speed, kind of a gamble in a conventional defense, but fits our agressive pressure stlye My Draft 2nd Round: Lance Mitchell, ILB 3rd Round: Dave Kashetta, TE 4th Round: Aaron Francisco, FS 5th Round: Leon Washington, RB/ Maurice Clarrett (LW if hes still there) *6th Round/7th Round: Ryan Neil DE *we lose one of those for Shittle |

He's got receiving skills so he's not a sure bet to get deep into the 4th round, we need a blocking TE as almost as bad as wee need an Offensive Tackle. Mitchell is still recovering from an ACL injruy, did you see him play at all last year? |

no i have to admit i didnt, if i did i dont remember him acl's are devestating injuries and take 2 years to fully recover from, if someone ever recovers from one. We do need an mlb so if you say he was any good last year ill trust you., also if you have him going in the second round that would mean he wouldve been sure 1st round talent if it wasnt for the injury correct? |

Thats why Id say he's a definate gamble, bc/ of the injury. Yes, if not for the injury he was a top 25 pick last year. So he'd have been top 10-15 this year. |
