NFL draft 2005

Melo · 04-20-2005, 11:00 AM

Whose your favorite team and who do you think they will draft?

Jets fan here.

I'm hoping we can have a choice between CB Fabian Washington or TE Heath Miller at #26. Most projections have both available and my gut is the Jets would take the CB but I would be very happy with another toy for Pennington to play with.

who knows, but if SF doesnt take Mike Williams, they ruined there draft.

Miracle · 04-20-2005, 11:06 AM

Vikings, Mike Williams!

KurtBevacqua · 04-20-2005, 11:36 AM

Dolphins will trade down and eventually end up with either Minnesota or Arizona's pick and surprise everyone by drafting FSU OT Alex Barron. Of course I put the actual odds on this about 20-1, but it's what I hope they do. I think most likely they will wind up with either Tampa's 5 or Minnesota's 7 pick and draft Cadillac Williams, then parlay that newfound 2nd round pick into an OL.

Bills Fan - Anyone OL would be needed

Saban's been saying lately that he wants to go QB. Do you think he's bluffing so TB makes him an offer to move up? Be a hella good sucker move if he could pull that off.

My team is Miami, and I anticipate them selecting Ronnie Brown with the second overall pick, or trading down with Tampa or maybe Arizona and taking the remaining back out of Brown, Cadillac Williams, and Cedric Benson.

The Packers will draft a defensive lineman and he will suck, just like the last few years.

sebastian0622 · 04-20-2005, 11:59 AM

I'd be real happy if Antrel Rolle or Pac Man Jones drop to Kansas City at 15, but that's a pretty slim possibility. They'll probably draft an underachieving defensive lineman (like Ryan Sims) or a player at a position that they don't need (like Larry Johnson).

I'd like to see them go for one of the aforementioned CBs if they are out there. If not, Mike Williams would be a good pick-up, although the Chiefs probably need speed at WR more than anything, so maybe a guy like Mark Clayton would be a good pick up. You can't go wrong with Pollack, but you can go wrong with Erasmus James IMO.

Basically, the Chiefs have enough holes that I'll be happy as long as they don't draft a RB, QB, S or TE in the first round.

See my thoughts on this subject here:

Yes, I do think he is bluffing (sort of), but if Tampa doesn't make the deal he wants, I think he'll go through with drafting Smith or Rodgers and be open to trade talks later, but be willing to make do with the situation. In other words, I think it's all a play to make a deal, but he'll go through with it if that's the way it plays out.

I've been hearing around GB that they'll be looking at the Akron QB to draft. Charlie Frye, I believe his name is. They also like Jason Campbell, but would rather get Frye first.

It's been said that neither of these quarterbacks should be drafted in the 1st round, but the Packers might reach because other teams but snag one out of no where. They really need to find someone to be the next Favre.

andjbock · 04-20-2005, 12:08 PM

I want CB Marlin Jackson to slide to the Pats at 32.

I heard this morning that the reason The Redskins moved up to #25 (in a deal with Denver) is because Gibbs wants Campbell. There was also speculation that some teams may consider moving up to scoop him on the Skins. I think it's a reach but he does have an intriguing upside.

streetballer67 · 04-20-2005, 12:25 PM

Bils fan and we need some secondary help here. I would love to see OT Adam Terry from Syracuse but chances are he will gone by the Bills pick. I just hope that they don't make any stupid trades that will cost them picks in next year's draft.

TheRockCT · 04-20-2005, 12:31 PM

Titans I think should draft Derrick Johnson, but I suppose trading one CB named Rolle for another wouldn't be horrendous either.

DJ would be an awesome pick for the Titans but Rolle will probably be long gone by then.

JWay · 04-20-2005, 12:43 PM

Cowboys fan here, and well heres my draft board

1. Mike Williams
2. Antrel Rolle
3. Derrick Johnson
4. David Pollack
5. Shawne Merriman

Here's what the Cowboys will do:

Trade their first round picks for 2nd round picks and take guys like Sherman Williams and Quincy Carter. =/ But for real if Mike Williams falls to them he needs to be taken, but I don't think he'll make it anymore, So they'll get Merriman and it sounds like another DE/LB type guy because nobody can make up their friggen mind on the 34 or 43 defense. Its ridiculous. We need a WR or the offense doesn't move.

Also Adrian McPherson in the 2nd or 3rd round would make me super happy.

Please don't draft two defensive guys that play the same position!! Especially in the same round Dallas!!! Please!!

marc · 04-20-2005, 01:44 PM

Eagles Fan here.

They have 2 2nd round picks including one very early in round 2 so I'd like to see them use that and their first rounder to move up in the middle of the 1st round and get a more quality player (hopefully).

Guys I wouldn't mind seeing in an Eagles uniform:
WR Troy Williamson
DE/LB Shawne Merriman
WR Mark Clayton

Of course there are also rumors of a Cory Simon trade so if that takes place they will need a replacement at DT, IMO they should wait til next year and hope he has a big year and trade him for a 1st round pick. The DT's in this draft leave a lot to be desired.

For the hell of it, here's my top 5 players regardless of position:
LB Derrick Johnson
RB Ronnie Brown
WR Mike Williams
CB Antrell Rolle
WR Braylon Edwards

jeheinz72 · 04-20-2005, 01:46 PM

Fins fan, ditto previous sentiments. I'll be happy so long as they don't draft a QB in the 1st round.
