Tampa Bay: MLB H.B. Blades, Pittsburgh Edit: Just read an article that Broncos traded for Bly today (how did I miss that?) so I changed the picks, actually swapping the Jets pick.
- Oakland only takes a WR if they get rid of Randy Moss. They are in dire need of a QB - Why a RB for Buffalo? Until McGahee leaves, which is just speculation, there is no need for a RB. - Reggie Nelson probably won't go that high. - I don't think Charles Johnson would make a great 3-4 OLB, but Blalock is a fine pick. - Overall, a decent job...
I think the news is leaning towards McGahee leaving so I don't see a problem with them taking a Running Back in the first. As far as Oakland goes Andrew Walter still has a chance if they build the offense up and Calvin is the best player in the draft so you can't really argue with taking a once in a generation type player.
Also, it looks like the Raiders are gonna pursue Jeff Garcia, so if they land him, they will almost definitely draft Calvin Johnson.
The Oakland and Buffalo picks involve foreshadowing a little bit, and with McGahee REALLY wanting out of Buffalo that one is likely. As for Oakland, there is so many different QB rumors flying around, the top 2 QB's have major flaws, and Calvin Johnson is an absolute animal and reminds me of a FASTER Chad Johnson. I also was planning on Charles Johnson as a 3-4 OLB, not a DE.
Yea, Johnson may be a little slow to play a 3-4 linebacker position. I saw a few NFL draft sites, including DC, list him as a possible 3-4 tweener and since he is good value in the early second I selected him. How would you guys like it if I took Abiamiri there instead?
...went 51 to the Giants. He can replace Tiki Barber in terms of pass catching out of the backfield, and can be a solid compliment to Brandon Jacobs.
I actually don't mind your top 5 at all. Could very well happen that way. However if the Bucs aren't getting CJ they aren't getting any WR. They already took Stovall last year and they have other young WRs waiting for PT. Unless it's going to be a completely dominate WR that can come in and start right away, they aren't going to take one. My guessed for their 2nd round pick: DE Charles Johnson, Georgia DE Victor Abiamiri, Notre Dame And they won't be getting a MLB in the 2nd. They already invested one in Ruud.
I would take Anthony Spencer that Guy is going to be special I don't even know if he will be there with our second pick. Explosive, strong, great instincts. Jarvis Moss will go before him but Spencer is going to have a better NFL career in my opinion.
