It is time for the annual Fan Board NFL draft. Each year I visit the fan boards of each NFL team and let them vote on who they want their team to pick. Rules: No Trades. Vote for who you want your team to select, not who you think they will select. Please select your top three, as I will open voting to each fan board when within 3 picks from being on the clock. After each selection I will update the thread so each fan site can see who was selected by other fan boards. I have included a list of some of the top rated players not yet selected at the bottom of the post. **Special Draft Note: Houston trades the #8 pick & #39 pick to Atlanta for QB Shaub & #10 pick. Atlanta retains Carriker @8, Miami take QB Quinn, & Houston takes OT Levi Brown. ******Update: With the 24th pick in the fan draft, the New England fans select Michael Griffin (SS) Texas On the clock: N.Y. Jets Next Up: Philadelphia Then: New Orleans 1 Oakland : Calvin Johnson (WR) Georgia Tech 2 Detroit: Jamarcus Russell (QB) LSU 3 Cleveland: Adrian Peterson (RB) Oklahoma 4 Tampa Bay: Joe Thomas (OT) Wisconsin 5 Arizona: Gaines Adams (DE) Clemson 6 Washington: Jamaal Anderson (DE) Arkansas 7 Minnesota: LaRon Landry (FS) LSU 8 Atlanta: Adam Carriker (DE) Nebraska 9 Miami: Brady Quinn (QB) Notre Dame 10 Houston: Levi Brown (OT) Penn State 11 San Francisco Robert Meacham (WR) Tennessee 12 Buffalo: Amobi Okoye (DT) Louisville 13 St. Louis Alan Branch (DT) Michigan 14 Carolina: Reggie Nelson (FS) Florida 15 Pittsburgh: Paul Posluszny (OLB) Penn State 16 Green Bay: Marshawn Lynch (RB) California 17 Jacksonville: Jarvis Moss (DE) Florida 18 Cincinnati: Patrick Willis (ILB) Mississippi 19 Tennessee: Dwayne Bowe (WR) LSU 20 N.Y.

Yep, just pick your top 3 so at least one will be there when the Jets get on the clock. Feel free to come back and modify your vote as I update picks for KC & NE. By running it in staggered order with 3 teams always voting I give the thread more time on each board while still moving along fairly quickly (my goal is 3 rounds by draft day).
1- Ross 2- Brown 3- Timmons 3- Blalock I want ross to be our shutdown corner. good in coverage, hard hitter, good punt returner and will fit our scheme. and i couldnt decide between timmons or blalock with the third. :up:
Editted* holy crap, didn't see Dwayne Jarrett still available. 1. Dwayne Jarrett, WR USC 2. Levi Brown, OT PSU 3. Justin Blalock, OG Texas
I don't know if this thread is for discussions and whatnot as well, but Jarrett, if he's there, should be a lights out mortal lock. Finally a big, dangerous target with a nose for the end zone, I would be doing backflips. I can't imagine a better 1-2-3 WR corps in the league as far as complimenting each other. Levi Brown is right there though, plug him in at Right Tackle, draft a mauling guard (Beekman) and a passrusher (Moses/Woodley) in Rd 2 and we fill our biggest needs just like that.
Didn't see your first list, but I definitely like this one. However, I like Beekman more than Blalock so I'm going to take Blalock off this list, and put (I'm going to get flamed for this but I just don't think he's going to drop) Lamarr Woodley. That kid's gonna be a player and I want to make sure he's a Jet. If we pass on him and he doesn't drop to our pick in the 2nd, i'm gonna be annoyed. So my list has gotta be... 1. Dwayne Jarrett 2. Levi Brown 3. Lamarr Woodley
1~ Justin Blalock OG Texas 2~ Aaron Ross CB Texas 3~ Ikaika Alama-Francis DE Hawaii Not as easy as it looks is it? When does this close?
A poll will be great, if it is a public poll. If people vote now, but can't get back for the poll I want to make sure they are counted. I expect the Jets to be on the clock Sunday evening. I don't use a fixed time, rather allowing more or less based on the number of votes and if it is close or not. Right now, I am also conducting a poll on the Oakland board and Atlanta board to see if Atlanta would trade it's #8 (which is Quinn) & 1 or both of their #2s for the #1 (Johnson). If both sides are willing it would fix much of the "glitch" cause by the Houston-Atlanta trade.
