The Cardinal, Panthers, Packers, and Jets are all praying that you are right but Thomas, Landry, Lynchm and Carricker ain't dropping that far.
I can see Thomas and Carricker getting picked up earlier but who are the second teams that need a safety and running back respectively after Atlanta and Houston? More talented players than Landry and Lynch have dropped further in the draft. The league is too thin w/ depth for teams to be picking the best player available.
Thomas goes in the top three (not Branch) so the Cardinals will settle for Landry. Also, some guys will take the best available player regardless of need (QB is usually the exception to the rule).
