I accept that offer. I also PMed Cookiemonster about it. Not sure if this is good enough to make it official?
That's good. That 2nd round pick will be up tomorrow so be there! (i'm not sure but I think your normal 2nd will be too).
Ok, the draft is about 2/3 over by now... It's time for DITK, Dwalsh, myself, and maybe a few others like Waters, or JV, etc. to debate. Whom are the top 10 improved teams everyone?
Myself the Carolina Panthers: I added Thomas Howard to strengthen my sub-par linebacker core. I added Greg Jones from Jacksonville to add needed depth to my Rb's with the loss of Davis. I also traded for Eric Green and Adam Haayer from Arizona. Green to add depth to or suddenly depleating CB's and Haayer to add O-line Depth. I believe I did good enough to be considered one of the top ten improved teams, but I didn't make the huge splash to be the number one team.
I'd like to nominate myself... I've filled the Broncos biggest need as a pass rusher with Manny Lawson. I also pulled Chad Jackson out at 15 and got Kellen Winslow through trade giving Plummer 2 quick, dangerous options. I also got Donte Whitner at 43 which is excellent value. I still have a pick at 76. The only loss I had thos offseason was Ashley Lelie who has been subpar for the Broncos since he came and he wanted out anyway. I like the 49ers, Buccaneers, Rams, and Saints a lot as well (funny how that's 2 from NFC West and 2 from NFC South). The Texans have 2 3rd rounders to see but so far their draft has been good.
How about the New York Jets... They have drafted Mario Williams, Marcus McNeil, John McCargo, and Roger McIntosh. I have also added JJ Arrington as my future RB, and traded away DeWayne Robertson who doesnt fit in teh 3-4 and has underachieved his entire career
Shouldn't we wait until we get though all the rounds? You have guys that haven't finished what they started so you are not going to see what they were planning overall. Also need for people to tell you what they were trying to achive, otherwise you would be basing your opinion soley on what you think with no insite of the guys that were doing that drafting.
We could also put a list of all of the teams and what they picked and traded, that way we dont do voting based on who someone picked up that we liked or trade someone that you liked and look at the whole overall picture other wise we should have just done one round.
My defense is fit to play both a 3-4 and a 4-3.

As of right now this is how it looks, additions are in caps, I went younger on efense, gave more depth to QB, some more weapons for Alex Smith, a cornerstone defensive player to turn the team around, A DT with a great motor that may be able to move to DE, I still have one pick left hopefully to address one more need, I hope my guy is still there I have lost: Eric Johnson, Adam Snyder, Mike Rumph, Tony Parish and Bryant Young I have gained: Javon Walker, Bryant Johnson, John Navarre, Ernest Shazor Drafted: AJ Hawk, Andrew Whitworth, Rodrique Wright I hope to be considered for the top GM;s that have improved their team Offense WR JAVON WALKER Arnaz Battle Otis Amey Jason McAddley LT Jonas Jennings ANDREW WHITWORTH LG Larry Allen Justin Smiley C Jeremy Newberry Eric Heitmann RG David Baas Tony Wragge RT Kwame Harris Patrick Estes Harvey Dahl TE Terry Jones Billy Bajema WR BRYANT JOHNSON Antonio Bryant Rasheed Marshall QB Alex Smith JOHN NAVARRE Cody Pickett RB Kevan Barlow Frank Gore Maurice Hicks FB Chris Hetherington Defense NT Anthony Adams Isaac Sopoaga Ronald Fields LE RODRIQUE WRIGHT RE Marques Douglas LOLB Corey Smith LILB Brandon Moore Jim Maxwell RILB Derek Smith Saleem Rasheed ROLB AJ HAWK LCB Derrick Johnson Bruce Thornton RCB Shawntae Spencer B.J.

You definetly have, Walker was a great addition, him and Hawk should definetly put you at least in the top 10, probably even higher.
