**** The Official NFL Draft Day Thread ****

[MadTiger]

My first "official" thread!!!

My cousin decided NFL Draft Day was a holiday, and I celebrated the last couple with him.

Predraft observations/predictions
Mid-draft wOOts and WTF????s
Post-draft grades.

Bring it on!

My teams (Browns and Cowboys) are both slated to go with defense for their first round pick. Necessary, but not too exciting for me.

What will be exciting is finding out if we get four Ohio State Buckeyes going in the 1st round.

Jets could package and get Bush. I'd love that so much.


If not, I expect a boring O-line draft for the Jets

[Hornacek]

Lions better get Holmes.

Rumor mills are stating that Reggie Bush doesn't want to play for New Orleans. Looks like the Jets and Packers are the most likely candidates to trade up and nab the #2 pick.

They better get that done.

Santonio is a BIG-time playmaker.

He would do OK with the Jets.

But he shouldn't let his agent overplay his hand on this.

This looks like the most logical progression early on, but then, given the Texans' pick logic ought to be discarded for the duration.

1. Texans - Mario Williams
2. Jets - Reggie Bush (from NO; trading #4, #29, #71, #97)
3- Titans - Vince Young
4. Saints - D'Brickashaw Ferguson
5. Green Bay - A.J. Hawk/Vernon Davis
6. 49ers - Vernon Davis/A.J. Hawk/trades down to OAK/ARZ and lets them pick up Leinart or Cutler

As a 49ers fan (I grew up with Tecmo Super Bowl and loved to play against the Giants, who my father roots for), I really hope we can either pick up Davis or Bush.

Which is interesting, because we'd see a lot of SF fans torn about wearing something with the word "Bush" on it.

Totally agree, with another good WR, the Lions will be early Super Bowl contenders.

Do you really want your team to do this? They have, I believe, 7 of the first 117 picks. They will get solid value at #4. Why not keep all your picks and address needs throughout the draft? I think it is a mistake for the J-E-T-S to trade up and get Bush.
