My best: That Charless Tillman would be a steal at corner out of Louisiana Lafayette and that Nathan Vasher would be a steal in the 4th. That Jonathan Vilma Would be great for the Jets despite what people said about him being to cerebral and having knee surgery. That Andre Johnson would be better than Charles Rogers and that he would be a bust. That Kevin Williams out of texas would be better than our DWayne Robertson(sadly) That Troy Polamalu would be a steal at 16 Worst That Roy Williams out of texas would be a bust for the lions That Lofa Tatupu was a reach in the second. That Larry Johnson would be a bust That Ryan Sims would be Dominant and a Pro bowler That Dwight Freeney would be average
Best predictions: Vilma..... being selected by the Jets...predicted it in Dec of 2003. Heath Miller........being an outstanding player. Worst predictions: Ryan Leaf.............I liked Leaf. Chris Gamble......I thought he would be a bust, turned out to be a good CB for Carolina.
Best: I don't have any good predictions. Worst: J.J. Arrington would be the best RB out of last year's class.
Best: Vilma would be really good LT would be a top 3 RB.....top 5 pick, but some people said he wouldn't be that great in the nfl because of the option offense he was in Passing on ed reed was a mistake(serious understatement) Worst: Joey Harrington would be a star (come on he looked sooo solid coming out his senior year) Peter Warrick would be a stud Dewayne would tear the league up
Best Peyton Manning > Ryan Leaf Ben Roethlisberger > Phillip Rivers The Falcons/Chargers 2001 draft trade would be extraordinarily beneficial for both teams. The Giants made a huge mistake drafting a backup TE instead of Chris Simms. The Giants should not trade up for Eli Manning. Alex Smith = RRRREEEEEAAAAAACCCCCHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Carolina will be able to successfully "coach up" Chris Gamble. Jason Witten & L.J. Smith > Bennie Joppru Andre Johnson > Charles Rogers (although I didn't anticipate Rogers' injury problems) Shawn Merriman > DeMarcus Ware The Bears don't need a running back at #4. Thomas Jones is a fine starter. J.J. Arrington is massively overrated. Adam Jones is massively overrated Marion Barber III = steal Worst The Jets will draft Dunta Robinson #12. Vilma will get stuck on the depth chart behind Sam Cowart. Joey Harrington = stud The Giants WOULDN'T trade up for Eli Manning. DeMarcus Ware = bust Joey Harrington = stud No way the Lions would use a top ten pick on a wide receiver THREE YEARS RUNNING. Osi Umenyiora? Massive reach there. William Joseph on the other hand is a steal. Robert Gallery is an absolute MONSTER. Ben Wilkerson, Michael Munoz, Adam Bergen, Jason White, T.A. McLendon, Kay-Jay Harris, Brandon Browner, C.J. Brooks, James Butler and Ernest Shazor will be drafted. I garunteed a couple of people that Maurice Clarett will not be a day one draft pick :sad: I think a lot of us overrated Elton Brown. Pretty badly too.
Best Jets will draft Vilma, and he will be a stud. Carson Palmer will become one of the best QBs in the NFL, no doubt. Ben Roethlisberger is the best QB in the 2004 class. Marion Barber III is a lot better than JJ Arrington. A LOT better. Anquan Boldin is underrated. The big QBs in 2002 and 2005 are overrated, big time (Carr, Harrington, Smith, Rodgers.) Clinton Portis is a top talent. Peyton Manning will be a statistical machine, but choke in the playoffs. Tom Brady has some upside (for a 6th round pick, I was some what right. :wink Whoever picks Quincy Carter is making a HUGE mistake. Ron Dayne = Bust Travis Taylor = Bust Worst Ryan Leaf will be in that 10-15 range of QBs, with a few real good years here and there. Robert Gallery will be a top 5 LT within 3 years. Reggie Williams will be a big time WR. Chris Gamble will take a long time to develop, if he develops at all. Larry Johnson will be average/slightly above average. Jets should grab Antaaj Hawthorne in the 2nd/3rd round. I don't like trading up, but it was worth it for DeWayne Robertson. Travis Minor > Rudi Johnson Chad Pennington will be a top 5 QB for 10-12 years. Rashaun Woods = Stud That's it for now. Believe me, I've been off many other times. :grin:
Yep, as well as Ben Wilkerson. Crickett mentioned him, and I thought he would go in the 3rd round, 4th at the latest.
Good: Chad Johnson was the best WR in the 2001 class. (I desperately wanted the Jets to take him at pick 19; they traded up three spots and took Santana Moss.) Brian Dawkins was going to be real good. Bad: Marcus Nash was going to be good in the NFL. (He was good in the AFL.) David Terrell was going to be good.
Way too many on both sides to even be close to remembering. I'll just try and figure my best/worsrt: Best: Mark Bradley was going to fly up the draft boards. This was back at the tail end of his junior year, when to most people he was nothing more than OU's rarely used 3rd WR (a corner convert at that), and barely a day 2 prospect. He ended up going #36 or so overall. Also called Aaron Rodgers as a big time prospect probably 1 or 2 starts into his career at Cal after Juco. Worst: James Butler and Donte Nicholson were the best Safeties in last year's class by far. Donte wasn't picked until the 4th, and Butler went undrafted. Still a joke though, considering Butler, as a UDFA played, even started for the Giants last year, and is already better than 85% of the safety class ever will be.
I remember calling that Freeney would be a great DE and was a steal because I saw him play a few times at SU and he was so fast and a monster.
Oh thats right Rashaun Woods out of Oklahoma State They had him on NFL network at his pro day or combine and he was catching everything in site. I was like oh my god he's going to be a steal for the 49ers I wonder what happened?
Best : Tiki Barber I knew the Giants had got an absolute steal when they took him in the 2nd round Worst was in 2003 I realy screwed the pooch in this draft.I loved Boss Bailey,Kelley Washington and Tyron Calico all 3 are worthless
Best: Osi Umenyiora would be a great pickup because he would have Strahan to learn the position from. Worst: Dayne over Alexander wouldn't be regretable.
Best: That Brees would NOT relinquish his job to that Rivers guy Dwight Freeney would tear up the league rookie year, he's the guy i wanted most that year, ahead of both Reed and of course that thomas dude the we took... Worst: Jets will take Ernest Shazor in the fourth Round of last years draft for the second year in a row safety steal!
2005 I predicted Heath Miller would be a perrenial Pro Bowl TE... Justin Miller would be a bust. 2004 I loved Jonothon Vilma and Derrick Strait.... first time I was really delighted with a Jets draft. 2003. Before the trade I had the Jets hopefully taking Ty Warren and Nick Barnett... Either are better than DeWayne Robertson 2002 Like most I had the Jets taking Ed Reed 2001 Loved Damion Lewis... Close to a bust. Santana Moss was the better choice. 2000 I had the Jets taking Chad Pennington, Anthony Becht, Julian Peterson and Morris, the bust WR. This year..... AJ Hawk
lmao, i thought the same thing about him. He was breaking records along with Fitzgerald in college and i thought he was gonna be the 2nd best WR behind Fitz. For me, i always brag to my friends how i know how to pick em in the draft. I dont make many predictions but when I do, theyre money. i've probably only had a handful of picks blow up in my face. Dunta Robinson was going to suck ass Dewayne was going to tear shit up Rashaun Woods was going to be a star Eli Manning was going to be a bust Kellen Winslow was going to set records as a TE everything else has pretty much been money. Its not rocket science, i just go based off of what they accomplished in college, i dont go based on potential shown at the combine, cause those are the guys who can blow up in your face.
