Kiwi may have fell out of the 1st round because of the senior bow, but the drills before are designed for the Tackles to dominate.

He also wouldn't fit in the Browns 3-4.

Is Nick Mangold (C, Ohio St) a first rounder? I was watching some of the coverage of Senior Bowl practices and Mel Kiper said he was impressed.

On a related note, why do you see offensive tackles and guards taken in round 1 but seldom centers? Centers handle the ball on every possession and are often in charge of calling the strategy for the rest of the o-line at the line of scrimmage.

Good stuff. I agree Tenn should go with Ferguson, McNair or Volek are good enough to win with and Vince is a project. Greenway over Ryans? I was busy this week, so I was unable to follow the Senior Bowl, was it that bad?

A solid, big, strong Left Tackle who can move and protect your QB against top DE's is arguably the toughest position to fill in the NFL. You can't teach size. That's why the good one's are drafted so highly. Centers and guards can get by with less size and athleticism and rarely go in the first round.

Mangold did look very good in Mobile. I think he's moved up but I can't see him going before the middle of the 2nd. Mangold has versatility and many think he could play guard or center in the NFL. Max Jean-Giles, Georgia, Jason Spitz, Louisville, Duece Latui, USC, & Daryn Colledge, Boisie State, Greg Eslinger may all still be ranked ahead of him for interior lineman.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct that TN will take VY. I fear that he will be the next Mike Vick. I would prefer that TN take either Ferguson or even Cutler over VY.

Cutler will be the better pro QB IMO.

Vick is over-rated. Vick is a runner not a passer.

When was the last time a running QB won the Superbowl?

Young "only" had 293 yards rushing that season (7 rushing TD's). If I knew VY was going to be as good as SY, then I would be quite happy. However, I think SY was always a pass 1st, run 2nd type of QB. In comparing VY to Vick, I think of them as run 1st, pass 2nd QB's. Generally, I don't think the run 1st, pass 2nd type QB can be successful in the NFL.

When was the last time a RB who was 6'4 280 pounds and could run a 4.0 40 won the Super Bowl?

Never you say?
Well, i guess if i could get someone like that, i wouldn't want him then.
