ordinarily i give you hell about whatever you post, but I really, really, really, really hope your right about AP falling to us at 8

[baba ganoush]

i highly doubt that chris houston is the first corner drafted, and i also dont think reggie nelson will fall that far.

kast--
does okoye at #4 have anything to do with gruden's work with him at the Senior Bowl? or is this just scuttlebutt you are hearing?

[Kaiser Toro]

What is your rationale for Denver going DE at 21?

If it falls this way, would this be the first time in draft history that Dlinemen placed 5 of top 10 places?

more of the former. the only scuttlebutt i've really heard in regards to the bucs' pick is that monte kiffin really likes adam carriker. okoye just fits the defense perfectly. and booger macfarland is gone.

Some people do not have Okoye in top 10. Is this a need pick and worry about value later? Everything I read says he need 2-3 years to hit stride. Of course that is about where Mario WIlliams is.

the value is there. i suppose he could be had a few spots later, but he wouldn't drop out of the top 10.

After he runs a 4.3 and looks back at Revis 4.4 and Hall 4.5 at the combine he will.

Denver, I am sure you meant Charles Johnson not Davis

He's a true cover corner. Those guys always shoot up the boards. Do some research on his preformances against some of the SEC tallent on the board this year at WR ...it's not a reach. He played well against them in press coverage. Get the QB, protect the QB, deffend the QB, that is the modern era in the draft in a nut shell. Those are the skill set that comand the money. He posts 4.4 sunday...he'll go higher than projected by the mockers. Saftey's, barring Sean Taylor like numbers, tend fall unless they got a skill set for a corner back transition.

[threetoedpete]

I'm not going to rehash old arguments, Kast. It's a good mock.

• The timing of the Raiders' decision not to pay Aaron Brooks' $5 million roster bonus was interesting. The Raiders are preparing to watch LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell throw at the combine. Andrew Walter is the only quarterback on the roster with experience, so it seems to be a sure thing that Russell will go to the Raiders as the first pick in the draft.

Still saying big Al doesn't pass up his chance to stick it to everyone from the grave. Not saying that CJ isn't the best player on the board. Saying Jamarcus is too sweet a prospect for Big Al to pass up.

just code for Katz "man-love" on okoye being a top 5 pick & Quinn becoming a fish

I didn't post that lol. Just wondering what the fish would give for a swap ?

[Titan "Tack" Fan]

Not too bad, but Landry won't fall that far.

The reason I always give you a hard time about LaRon and Jamarcus is because I'm a huge LSU fan and I've watched every snap these guys have played. LaRon Landry is in the same category as Sean Taylor and Ed Reed. He's going to be incredible. So I feel I can comment more on LSU players than the average person.

P.S. you don't think Dwayne Bowe will go first round?

I really see Laron going 11-14.

[kastofsna]

landry should go, but it's a matter of whose drafting there. i think if atlanta doesn't pull the trigger, then no one will for a little while. good trade-up scenario there, though.

im thinking of swapping jarrett and dwayne bowe. jarrett may not be a first rounder when it's all said and done. although i'm sure SOMEONE will take him.
