What team picks #1 in 2006?

That's a pretty straight fwd question. Who is picking Matt Leinhart NEXT year or even better who will trade up for him????

As of right now I'm going to go with Carolina. The team is falling apart and though they have Jake he has nobody to throw too this year other than Colbert (if he is healthy). I see him having a bad enough year to possibly question a new qb.

My runner-up are the PATRIOTS! I'M KIDDING. Just making sure ya paying attention. My real runner-up is the Broncos. Does anyone understand what that team is doing?

Now that I think about it I might need to flip them and carolina around. lol
 
are those teams that are going to be picking number one or teams that might looking to trade up? i would say that the browns will be in the conversation along with possibly the titans if mcnair doesn't regain his old form. its hard to say because the nfl is so tricky now, you never know what team could turn it around.
 
Tennesse Flaming Meatballs. I think the Panthers are going to be good. Steve Smith is a solid WR, and I'm big on Delhomme.

Thumbtacks look like a good possibility.

The Panthers finished the season with 6 wins in the last 8 games after winning just 1 of the 1st 8. Seems to me they finished like a team that may rebound--especially getting their top two RB's back.
 
Doesn't Jake still have Steve Smith? Plus he's not going to get the boot after an almost SB season. The Broncos will still have faith in Plummer for at least 2 more seasons so maybe they'll just draft a QB low in the draft. I think teams that would go for Leinart are Browns, Raiders (If Collins doesn't work out), Lions (If Harrington still sucks), Saints (If they get tired of Aaron Brooks and don't even give Adrian McPherson a chance), and maybe even the Bucs! But only if we did bad that year and it was Brian's fault but I doubt it will be his fault.
 
I think either Tennesee or San Fran again, they had a good draft, but they still have a looooooooooong way to go.

Carolina should be good this year. As for them drafting a QB, they just drafted Stefan Leflors. He only completed 75% of his passes last year. So I think their QB situation is ok. :rolleyes:

Maybe Tennessee although I think maybe they would just do what Green Bay did and pick the best QB available and let him sit out for a year while he watches Steve play so he can learn but I doubt San Frans would trade all the way up to pick a player because they just got a QB and that number one spot is worth 4 times as much as last year's was so maybe they would trade up to 5 if they're not already there yet.
 
I'm going to go WAY out on a limb and say GB. Hey, no guts, no glory. I think they play in the toughest division this year, and they regressed this offseason. There are a number of other teams that will be vying for this honor, including Tenn, Oakland, SF, and Washington. Those will be your bottom five, give or take one. I think Carolina has a rebound year. They will be good, not great. I expect 9 or 10 wins. I would be shocked if they finished last in the league.

I didnt say anything about trading up, I think they earn the no. 1 pick

O. Sorry but if they ended up 1st pick I think they would trade down like 1 or 2 spots like in the Ryan Leaf trade.
 
I think Carolina is making the playoffs... I love their team.

I'd say the Titans get the #1 pick... They are horrible depth-wise and don't have the world's greatest starters.

Cleveland Browns

I have to go with the Browns, too...


The only reason I'm not going with the Titans is because I like Fisher as a coach and he will figure something out to make the Titans win more than 4 games. I do not see the Browns winning 3.
 
with the 1st pick in the 2006 Draft the Miami Dolphins select-

leinhart.jpg


Matt Leinhart, QB USC Trojans
 
Of course the browns want Leinart, what do you think they brought in Dilfer for a winning season? They want him so they can self destruct and pick high in the draft.
 
I think that the Skins will have the worst season of Gibbs career. There is no leadership on either side of the ball.
 
For now, my guess is that either the Broncos (via Washington), Dolphins, or San Francisco will have the 1st overall pick...
 
I don't see Cleveland taking Leinhart with them drafting Charlie Frye.

I think Romeo did very well cleaning out a lot of the JUNK in CLE.

Tenn. well very well might be with PacMan losing his MIND.

Washington's Defense will win them enough games alone to not have the #1 pick.

I agree CAR will rebound after looking at their draft.

I edit my choices too...........Denver or Tenn.

What about the kid that is McNair's Back-Up though?

Cleveland will surprise alot of people. Frye is another very good QB, they will need to build the O-Line however.

The Titans are rebuilding but with alot of good young players. in my opinion they blew it by taking Jones over Rolle (maybe it was a last name thing) but they redeemed themselves by drafting the best OT (once again my opinion) in the draft Michael Roos which should enable McNair to remain upright more that in 04.

Your right about the skins D, should be good enough to about split their games given any offense at all.

Carolina had a decent draft but what really favors them from becomming celler dewellers is thier soft schedule in 05, depending on health of key players they just may be in contention for a wildcard spot. excellent coaching

Denver I would not touch with a 10 ft. pole, but somehow each year the Broncos win games they should'nt, just look at last years game with the Texans :crying:

nope until someone can convince me otherwise Feeley in Miami is the biggest reach, Sabin is a rookie coach with a new system :ouch:
 
I think it will be Tennesee, I feel that McNair really is a Warren Moon, had a great Prolific career. But just as Monn did, he's gone from elite to less than average in one year. I mean the back up I believe his name is Vollers??? played better than he did last year in my openion. Their stats definately sugest that, but you can't base everything on stats. I think McNair needs to go ahead and retire, his body has just been through too much punishment.

his name is Billy Volek, he hails from the same College as David Carr Fresno State. also recently resigned & gives the Titans a quality back-up to McNair.
 
San Francisco will suck and suck hard. They were easily the worst team in the league last year. So far, their off-season has looked like this...

Draft:
Alex Smith
Davod Baas
Frank Gore
Adam Snyder
Ronald Fields
Rasheed Marshall
Derrick Johnson
Daven Holly
Marcus Maxwell
Patrick Estes
Billy Bajema

Free agents signed:
Marques Douglas
Jonas Jennings
Joe Nedney

Free agents lost:
Ronnie Heard
Kyle Kosier
Todd Peterson
Daleroy Stewart
Brandon Whiting
Cedrick Wilson

Their schedule:
St. Louis
@ Philadelphia
Dallas
@ Arizona
Indianapolis
@ Washington
Tampa Bay
N.Y. Giants
@ Chicago
Seattle
@ Tennessee
Arizona
@ Seattle
@ Jacksonville
@ St. Louis
Houston

Combine their draft that was built for the future (smart move) with their lack of impact free agents (only move) and their tough schedule, I can see maybe 3 wins.
 
It's really too early to tell but I have to say the #1 pick is going to be the Flaming Thumbtacs'. But are they set on Voleck (sp) or not? Anyone know?

GOT YA BEAT ONLY TWO WINS FOR THE FINS :heh:


DENVER BRONCOS
at New York Jets
CAROLINA PANTHERS
Bye Weekend
at Buffalo Bills
at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
KANSAS CITY CHIEFS W
at New Orleans Saints
ATLANTA FALCONS
NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
at Cleveland Browns
at Oakland Raiders
BUFFALO BILLS
at San Diego Chargers
NEW YORK JETS
TENNESSEE TITANS W
New England Patriots
 
Tennesee - Norm Chow was the OC for USC. How could they pass up a QB that would already know his system? That and McNair on the verge of retiring. Would seem to add up, but this is the NFL - nothing adds up.
 
I think that Tennessee, Cleveland, and San Francisco will still all draft in the top 10. I expect some improvements by Oakland, Miami, Arizona, and Chicago. With the exception of the first 3 teams I mentioned, I have a difficult time determining the really bad teams at this point. Lets see who gets injured between now and then though.
 
The Brownies are my other major bottom five candidate, but somehow, I think Romeo will somehow give them just enough to be around 6th or 7th. I think it's between them and Washington for #5. I think Miami will also be in that same range, or maybe a bit better due to Ronnie Brown. A great RB will take the load off of their defense and their pathetic QB situation.
 
my pick is that the dolphins will be picking number 1 overall and selecting leinart...if the browns are selecting number 1 overall they won't take leinart after drafting charlie frye in the third round...they have said he is their heir to the starting job after this season with dilfer...other possiblities are:

tennessee...continue to fall but i don't think they will draft leinart
new orlean saints...what are they doing
san fran i don't think will be that bad
oakland will but it will be because of their shamefull defense
remember the giants...they won't do much...lets face it they are in a division with the eagles and parcells :dangit:

and my surprise pick of the year the kansas city chiefs

defense got better but this will be the year that the offense starts to look it's age...holmes, green, all recievers, and most of the oline are over 30
 
I dunno about KC. I actually think that they might contend again this year. Other than Minn, nobody helped themselves on defense more than KC. Sure, they are aging to a degree on offense, but they should have a drastically improved defense, which means they can score 24 instead of 38, and still win. I'll go out on a limb and predict an 11-5 record for KC.

I would switch the KC with the Tampa, Cleveland, Buffalo or even New Oreleans. I think KC will either win the west or make the wild card or be 1 game off. They have improved their Defense incredibly. I dont think tampa will win 7 games i dont think Cleveland will win 5 and Buffalo with a new QB i have to say they will win about 6. The saints are another team i can see the phines beating. This team is a .500 team no better. I think there is a chance that Miami could pull it off. There is a possiblilty they could win the Tampa, Cleveland, 1 out of 2 Buffalo and the Saints game plus Tennessee thats puts them at 5 tops. O well another top 5 pick again

The '04 Dolphins might only win 2 games. But compare their off-season with SF's...

Draft:
Ronnie Brown
Matt Roth
Channing Crowder
Travis Daniels
Anthony Alabi
Kevin Vickerson

Brown will contribute more than all the rookies combined for the 49ers.

Free agents signed:
Kevin Carter
Damion Cook
Mario Edwards
Heath Evans
Gus Frerotte
Vonnie Holliday
Tebucky Jones
Stockar McDougle
Donnie Spragan
Travares Tillman

Free agents lost:
David Boston
Jay Fiedler
Arturo Freeman
Morlon Greenwood
Sammy Knight
Rob Konrad
James Newson
Bryan Robinson
Jay Williams
Shawn Wooden

Miami will be much improved next season (mostly because they have so much room for improvement). But they've also helped themselves quite a bit. Moreso than San Francisco anyway.
 
No way with Oakland. They had a decent off-season with Jordan signing and adding moss with porter gives them a nice set of WR.....which the off still wont live up to its potential just b/c of Kerry I throw too many INT's Collins.

KC D is GREATLY improved and we all know a decent D keeps you out of the #1 pick always.

I think Tenn or Den for sure. I think Plummer AND Shannahan are in trouble up in Den.

Tenn would be perfect for Leinhart I'll give you that just b/c he already knows the OFF. Volek showed signs of IT but then last year NOT IT.
 
IMO i could clump 5 teams in the worse category Then some that will be in the top 11... then i have a bunch of teams that could go either way... then we have the 5 top teams... what do u think

Teams i think have a shot at the worse record. Top 5 worse
San Fransisco
Tennessee
Cleveland
Miami
Denver

Teams who will be close Next worst
Tampa Bay
Chicago
Buffalo
Oakland
Panthers
Washington

Inbetweeners ones that could go either way
Arizona
Detriot
Minnesota
Cincinatti
Houston
Jacksonville
San Diego
Seattle
New Oreleans
Green Bay
NY Giants
NJ Jets
Kansas City
St. Louis
Baltimore
Dallas

Playoff for sure teams
Philly
Atlanta
Pittsburg
Indianapolis
New England
 
I think if you're anywhere close to being right, I'm taking you to Vegas with me next time I go back. :)

How many predicted both the Raiders and Bucs would miss the playoffs the season following their Super Bowl seasons? How many predicted San Diego would go from 4-12 to 12-4 the next year?
 
This is so hard to tell. If the Texans lose David Carr to injury for half the season they could be picking #1 overall and McNair could lead the meatballs to a .500 or better season. It is the drama that the NFL has that makes it interesting. We just don't know how things will turn out.

My best geuss though would have to be Miami. They drafted a RB. Their OL did not improve. The defense is dwindling. The one thing they have going is a fired up coach in Saban. That is the main attraction in Miami right now. My geuss is that they will get the QB from USC unless another QB surprises us.
 
I think the Dolphins win 7 games myself. They have the defense. They added the RB that they were lacking last year. I think Feeley won't be that bad with an actual rushing attack. They have solid receiving targets in Chambers, Booker, and McMichael. Their O-line is still a liability but I think Saban brought in a couple of guys to help.

What makes you think that Denver will be one of the worst 5???
Did something happen in the offseason that I don't know about??
Besides drafting Maurice Clarett, I didn't think they made too many mistakes this offseason. They were one of the better teams last year.
 
I still think the phins have a couple of years. I give them 2-3 years before they will be great. Those predictions are obcourse barring a major injury.. I gaurantee 1 of those teams will surprise us but i do think you can clump those teams in most part into that area. Obcourse if Carr does go down then we could throw us into the 5-8 picking range. but seriously you cant say SF, Cleveland, miami and Tennesee will have horrible records. I dont think either 1 will make it out of the bottom 5. I say Denver bc i think things are falling apart there. SD will have their 8-8, 9-7 and KC is very much improved i think they could go 10-6 maybe 9-7. I think Denver will be hit hard this year. I looked at Miami's schedule that was posted the best i think they can do this year is 5-11 top 5-7 pick. Tennesee enough said they are rebuilding.
I think its the next group where a team will surprise us. Tampa Bay is also going through rebuilding they do have some good players but they could be the team that jumps out of this group but i dont see it with Atlanta and New Orelans plus they play the AFC east and some very much improved teams from the NFC north. Chicago is Chicago i dont know what to say about this team. 1 year they do good surprise us all then they fall off the map. I dont think their Defense is all that great and i dont think they have all that good of a OL for Benson to run though. I dont see chicago moving out of this group. Buffalo has a rookie QB thats why i think they wont do much this year. I dont think Losman is a Rothlesburger it could happen but i dont think Buffalo will win more than 6-7 games if that this year. Oakland they have improved their Offense i give them that. SD and KC have too good of teams to put Oakland too much higher. They might surprise and go 7-9 somewhere in that area. Panthers talking about a team that has crashed. and burned. I dont expect much from this team. Prob a 6-10 to 7-9 area they have a tuff schedule too. Washington always seems like the odd team out in the east. Dallas is much improved this year on the defensive side of the ball. I dont see them beating Philly. Their best bet is to beat NYG. Plus they play the AFC west and that will take a toll on their record this year. This is a few reason why i put them in this category. Obcourse a team that is not mentioned here could lose a player and be put in this category easy. This is just saying as of right now no injuries i could clump these teams into these groups.

Sorry, but that isn't anywear near accurate. Denver has a solid defence, and probably the best offensive line in the NFL. They will be playoff contenders, and they will have another great runningback come out of the wood work. Jake Plummer will also have more 400+ yard passing games also, and yeah he'll also throw a lot of picks.
 
Denver is in a state of CONFUSION.

They have 4 RB's. I know they are RB U but they had much more needs than taking clarett in 3.

They brought in FOUR of CLE junk at DL. I mean if ROMEO won't keep them why would u take all of them? Makes no sense.

Plummer is still erratic at best.

The D is suspect with Bailey being the only solid thing on there. Lynch is waaaay past old at this point.

Den. or Tenn. will be picking #1. IMO.
 
Plummer was erratic at best last season...Denver still won 10 games with a back-up RB (Droughns).

Cleveland had no problem letting Brown, Ekuban and Warren go because they're not 3-4 personnel. Denver doesn't run a 3-4.

Lynch is so past old he made the Pro Bowl last season. I don't think he belonged there but he's certainly not a liability in the secondary.

Their LB trio of DJ Williams, Al Wilson and Ian Gold could be just sick.

Their suspect defense finished 4th in the NFL in yards allowed last year.

"Could" they be picking #1? Sure. But I wouldn't bet anything on it no matter the odds.
 
If Carr was putting up 400 & 500 yard passing games, on top of our any of 3 RB's capable of hitting the 1500 yard rushing mark.... never mind, but sorry to tell you man, eratic or not, Plumer is one of the beter talents at QB in this league. As for as Lynch being too old, ask our recievers if he's too old, he's one of the hardest hitting safeties in the NFL. The only confusion I see for Denver is witch RB they should start.
 
Niners should have taken Braylon Edwards, knowing they will be back in this position again next year. Then they would be able to get Leinert and have one hell of a tandem, but they went and messed everything up, and took Smith

Its also their schedule. Ok, what teams do u think they will beat Philly, New England? They play some tuff teams. The AFC west has improved. I think KC will win the division with a 10-6 or 11-5 record. Then SD will be next with a 10-6 or 9-7. Oakland will go 7-9 or 6-10. Denver just seems to be the team this year that will finish last in the division. They are my pick to be a top 5 i dont know about #1, SF, Cleveland, Miami, and Tennessee all dont have all that great of teams.
