Draft Talk

With the draft up and comming i decited to make, a list of who i believe have the best chance in making it in the nfl.

Offense
1. Rashard Mendenhall - Illinois RB-Best RB in the draft, hands down
2. Joe Flacco - Delaware QB- He has a great awareness and amazing accuracy
3. Darrenn McFadden - Arkansas RB-He has some serious speed but has no power or determination
4. Matt Ryan - Boston College QB- He has a lot of arm strength and could develop into a starying QB
5. Limas Sweed - Texas WR- hes not only a big target but has the softest hands of and WR
6. Jonathon Stewart - Oregon RB- Determination and power will help him on his way to the top
7. Felix Jones - Arkansas RB-speed and awareness...great qualties in a RB
8. Colt Brennan - Hawaii QB-he may have been injured but he has nice accuracy and great arm strength
9. Jake Long - Michigan OT-Big man big pwer
10. Devin Thomas - Michigan State WR-Nice WR and good jumping ability



Defense
1. Glenn Dorsey - LSU DT- Power power and more power
2. Chris Ellis - VT DE hes got speed and strength
3. Keith Rivers - USC OLB hes bug and can play anywhere on the LB crew
4. Vernon Gholston - Ohio State DE He could be a great DE or a starting LB
5. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - Tennessee State CB fast as hell and has hands as soft as sweeds
6. Tom Zbikowski - Notre Dame SS hes fast and strong. great awareness will hel him on his way to the top
7. Dan Connor - Penn State MLB Strong as hell
8. Sedrick Ellis - USC DT-Big man with lots of power
9. Jerod Mayo - Tennessee OLB Fast and strong. Ending up in a good home, he will become great
10. Mike Jenkins - South Florida- nise speed and great awareness

I think you mean Chris Ellis, VT, DE. Jake Long is an OT from Michigan.

...and they are spelled "defense/offense" not "offence/defence."

my bad i copied and pasted so the spellings not my fault blame V lol. But i'm not big on spelling anyway

Yeah I accidentally put Jake Long Michigan at the top of the DE board as well as OT, my bad

lol no problemo, just pointing it out.

it should be Chris Long or Cedric Ellis. I think you mixed their names lol

It's Sedrick Ellis, I think it's Chris Ellis because he is the only notable DE from VT (Virginia Tech) in this draft.

No, its Chris Long lol from VT: http://www.virginiasports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=1133501&SPSID=88799&SPID=10606&DB_OEM_ID=17800

Chris Long is from VIRGINIA, not VIRGINIA TECH.

VT = Virginia Tech

It says it in your link.

It's all good, I've made the mistake sometimes too, in the mock drafts that I made

It's cool! I thought you were just being ignorant lol.

Im sry but where is Leodis McKelvin and Reshard Mendenhall but running in the draft i think not he is nothing compared to McFadden an personally i think felix jones is better also

I'm not a big fan of McKelvin. No and anticipation...He doesn't have a lot of experience bumping at the line...Could do a better job in zone coverage. Too aggressive and plays a little out of control at times.Did not always play against elite competition hes not as good as he sems and doesnt do as good playing against better recievers. McFadden will go no where he has NO power what so ever. one hit and hes done

Darren McFadden is a very good RB, but he's playing on the Raiders, who have no O-line whatsoever. Raiders should have taken Dorsey. A big run-stuffing DT like that would come in handy in a division with: San Diego, Denver, and KC. (LaDanian Tomlison, Larry Johnson, and Denver always runs good)

And wow are the Jaguars heavily relying on Derrick Harvey to play well, they gave up their 1st, two 3rds and a 4th to move up and take him...

McFadden is decent at best. And i know..lets just hope Harvey can live up to there expectations. But i think that they could have done a little better with the 8th overall

And considering everyone blasted my Vikes when they said we gave up so much for Jared Allen!
Looking back, when both the Vikes & Jags landed a DE this year for virtually the same deal, I would take Jared Allen 100 times out of 100...and I doubt anybody would in their right mind say otherwise.

We gave up = to the 10th pick in the 3rd round more than Jacksonville did. But still, Harvey and a 3rd or Allen?? I think that is pretty easy to answer
