The Jets taking Young. Interesting. Especially with Ferguson on the board.

[awtysst]

Some interesting choices.
I have a feeling that the Steelers would take Lendale if he is available.
I am not sold on Jennings being a first rounder, I think he is more of a high 3rd maybe 2nd round grade.

I agree, I don't think Vince matches the type of offense the Jets have. I think Vince is a better overall QB than Cutler and definitely has more upside, but I think if the Jets go with a QB there it would be Cutler, but I agree I think they'd take D'Brick or maybe A.J. Hawk or Vernon Davis.

I don't see Ngata going to the Cardinals, I think they will go with Winston Justice (if available, which he's not on your mock), or a QB if one of the big 3 are available.

I don't see the Broncos taking DeAngelo Williams, I think that Tatum Bell and Ron Dayne are good enough for their offense (plus they never take RBs in the 1st round anyways), I think they definitely take Chad Jackson or Santonio Holmes if either one is on the board, if both are gone then I think DE or maybe LB will be their next priority and they could trade down to the 20-24 range and get anyone there that would be available at #15 (including at least 2 if not all 3 of the remaining big 4 RBs if they do decide to take one), so I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull a trade-down if Jackson and Holmes are gone.

I don't see Joseph Addai or especially Kelly Jennings sneaking into the 1st round.

I don't see Ernie Sims going to the Patriots either, he may be the best LB available there but I don't think he fits a 3-4 defense as well as some of the others, I think he'd work nicely in a defense like the Eagles or Tampa Bay run.

the jets love leinart, cutler and ferguson. they'd most likely take cutler there. jimmy williams is a late 1st rounder now.

Or Cutler. The offense is part of it. But, VY's arm strength is the main part of it. Jets fans will sream murder. But Cutler has the arm for New York.
Yeah, when that witch of November wind comes a'blowin' in Metropolis, VY's adequate arm ain't going to make it. VY ain't going to NY. He'll give the term "wounded duck" a whole new meaning. Wait for three years or run the spread.
Choices, choices.

Agree... If Jets draft QB, it will be Cutler....most likely, Ferguson. Young will go to Raiders.

Ravens won't pick Cutler at #13...they're waiting on McNair to be released. If Bunkley or Ngata is not there....maybe , Deangelo Williams.

Broncos will draft WR at #15,,either Chad Jackson or S. Holmes.

Cutler could go at #17 to Vikings.

raiders aren't taking a quarterback.
