Who do you want your team to draft?

[IronMexican]

I want the Raiders to draft BJ Raji or Micheal Crabtree.

[Blake]

that would suck for Crabtree

[dirk4mvp]

The Raiders will draft Maclin cuz he's fast and waste a very talented wr by doing so.

[monosylab1k]

The more I see on Vontae Davis the more I like him. I hear he has a shitty attitude tho, that might be a problem. I wouldn't mind Maualuga either. Connor Barwin in the 2nd round.

[IronMexican]

I don't like Vontae Davis for the simple fact that he is related to Vernon Davis, who should be one of the best Tight Ends in the NFL, but refuses to work on his game.


In the second round, I'd love Jamon Merideth or Darrius-Howard Bey

[J.T.]

The Colts should draft that pothead Harvin.

[IronMexican]

Don't touch Florida WR's.


Also; I think the best DB in this draft is Sean Smith. Big and physical.

the raiders need to draft a good kicker that they can groom after the greatest pick of the decade, Janikowski, retires.

[jack sommerset]

Teams should just do what Mel Kiper tells them to do.

[BSofA04]

Texans should draft OLB Clay Matthews.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Chiefs: Eugene Monroe

[mardigan]

Patrick Chung, William Moore, or Rashad Johnson in the second round. Ron Brace in the third. I also wouldn't mind the Boys taking a project qb later in the draft, maybe Stephen Mcgee.

[NewJerSpur]

Although many of the Seahawk faithful want Crabtree in the 1st, I want Robiskie in the 2nd before his hometown Browns have the opportunity to nab him.

[LakerHater]

Hakeem Nicks, Brian Robiskie or Darrius Heyward-Bey!



Or hopefully, I know it's a long shot but, James Laurinaitis (http://www.nfl.com/combine/draft/2009/james-laurinaitis?id=79850)

[NewJerSpur]

Hakeem Nicks, Brian Robiskie or Darrius Heyward-Bey!

DON'T YOU COME ANYWHERE NEAR MY ROBISKIE!!! YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM.....I mean....uh....anything's possible.

[dirk4mvp]

Since most of the dt's look like turds that will be available at 27, I hope the Colts pick up either Nicks (preferably) or Hewyard-Bay.

[SpuronyourFace]

'Boys
Patrick Chung and Ron Brace

[JamStone]

Lions: Jason Smith (1), Peria Jerry (20), Sean Smith (30) with their first three picks.

[KidCongo]

Whatever ducks wants.

[stretch]

Crabtree

[samikeyp]

At the #20 spot, I would like to see the Cowboys go after...oh wait....never mind, I forgot that Jerrah pissed away that pick. :bang

:lol

[samikeyp]

I want the Raiders to draft BJ Raji or Micheal Crabtree.

Crabtree to the Raiders would be a good pick. Kid is going to be a star.

[stretch]

honestly, if the Raiders can't get Crabtree, my next pick would be Orakpo. If he isnt there, then I would trade the pick down, and try to get some lower first round or several second and third round picks, and get Ron Brace (BJ Raji's teammate on that monster BC defensive line), a LT, and a WR (perhaps with a higher second round pick, they can get Heyward-Bey). Perhaps they could get Rey Malauga with a lower first rounder. I also want Chip Vaughn for safety (probably the 3rd round pick). But I doubt Al will trade down.

[IronMexican]

I want Chip too.

[Thunder Dan]

Beanie Wells

for no other reason than he is one of my favorite college players and I don't want to root for him on another team (like Troy Smith who is my all time favorite). I hate everyone on the Browns except for Quinn and Cribbs- so I could care less if they are shitty, but I just want them to draft Beanie so I can watch him every week and cheer for him. And if he is a bust, well who cares, I've been down that road before.

I hope they trade Braylon Edwards too. I can't stand him. He has the best QB in the league throwing to him and he can't catch a damn ball. I say trade Braylon to the Giants for a 1st rounder, and draft Curry or Malaluga, and then Beanie at the end of the 1st.

Basically, now that I think about it. They could trade anyone on that team except for Quinn and Cribbs and I'd be happy. I don't like any of them. They are all a bunch of lowlife scoundrels

[GaryJohnston]

I'd love to see the Cowboys draft Ron Brace

[IronMexican]

Brace is good, but Raji made him look better than he actually is.

[stretch]

Brace is good, but Raji made him look better than he actually is.

A duo of Brace and Kelly sounds pretty good to me. The only 3 guys I would take with that pick are Crabtree, Curry, or Orakpo. After that, I would rather trade down.

[mardigan]

You wouldn't want Maclin?
I think he's going to be a better wide out than Crabtree.

[IronMexican]

Maclin is a Ginn type player. Good, but not worth a #7 overall selection.

[IronMexican]

And I'd love to get Patrick Turner with a 6th round pick. A big target for the red-zone.

[mardigan]

Maclin is a Ginn type player.

Fuck no he's not. He is a better player than Ginn in every aspect. Bigger, stronger, faster, won't drop nearly as many balls, probably even a better return guy as well. Dude runs a 4.3, and you know Al loves speed. Maclin=Roddy White

[IronMexican]

We'll see. And no way is he a better return man than Ginn. But yeah, he is a better WR.

[Purple & Gold]

Trade down and pick up Moreno. If not Crabtree or Sanchez.

[IronMexican]

But if Brace falls to the third round, the Raiders have to absolutely draft him. Of course, I doubt he falls that far.


I'd love for the Raiders draft to look like.

#7 - Raji
#40 - DHB, or Sean Smith
#71 - Chip Vaughn
#126 - Zach Follet
#216 - Patrick Turner

He doesn't run routes well, works best as a slot guy and a return specialist. We already have a guy that works well in that role, in Johnny Lee Higgins. I mean the guy returned 3 punts for TDs last year. We don't really need another. We need a guy that runs good routes, has good hands, and is a good jump-ball, bail-out type of target for Jamarcus Russell. Give me Crabtree all day.

:lol at Crabtree being a better route runner. He didn't have to run shit for routes in their offense, same as Maclin. Maclin was only asked to run 3 different type of routes in college because of the offense he ran. That doesn't mean he isn't a good route runner. He has great hands, is close to 6-1, and had a 36 inch vertical at the combine. Tell you the truth, there isn't much difference between the two, except that Maclin is much faster and Crab is a little bigger and stronger. They will both be great players, but to act like Crabtree is far and away better is absurd.

[IronMexican]

I think we saw a bit of Crabtree's route running vs UT. He stopped at the perfect spot to run out of bounds for the game winning FG before that UT guy completely blew the tackle and he walked in.

[samikeyp]

As long as Al Davis is in charge, he will only have to run one route...deep. :)

[Artest93]

I want the Texans to draft CB Malcolm Jenkins......I wouldn't mind Knowshon Moreno to form a solid backfield with Slaton

[Blake]

you are clueless.

[mardigan]

you are clueless.

The knocks on both players are injury concerns and lack of having run NFL type routes.

[stretch]

no the main knock on Crabtree is injury concerns and 40-time.

[LakerHater]

I say trade Braylon to the Giants for a 1st rounder, and draft Curry or Malaluga, and then Beanie at the end of the 1st.




No way Jerry Reese lets that happen!!
:nope

[JoeTait75]

If I were a Gints fan I'd be all over that. BE was a monster in 2007 and can be again under the right circumstances. He's better than any of the stiffs the Gints are running out at WR right now, that's for sure.

[Chris]

No Anthony Henry and no Pacman? Cowboys need a corner badly. After that, maybe a safety and linebackers.

I'm not sayin I wouldn't wan'em just not for our 1st pick!
Besides, I like our young core, it just need a veteran leader!

Route Running: Crabtree excels at taking quick slants and generating positive yardage after the catch. He has crisp stop-&-go action to redirect and uses his body well to protect the ball. He tends to dance and try to out-juke opponents at times, but generally settles and breaks off his routes well (rare to see him round off). He does a fine job of lowering his weight getting into his breaks and is a physical receiver that makes it tough for defenders to push him off his routes. He makes sharp cuts in the open and does a very good job of using his body to gain position. He is especially effective working on fade routes, as he is more effective when used on controlled routes, stops and quick slants. He does show good body control to break down, but is best when operating along the sidelines where he can build to top speed and maintain it throughout his route. GRADE: 8.4

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1125838



"His route running is already comparable to many NFL receivers."

And the concern that Crabtree had ample opportunities to put up gaudy numbers in Texas Tech’s pass-happy offense? It’s actually a non-issue. Unlike system quarterbacks, wideout is an isolated position that provides tape which translates easily to the NFL. A player’s ability to catch, block, run routes, display body control and balance has virtually nothing to do with play-calling. So the quality behind Crabtree’s two Biletnikoff Award-winning seasons, which produced 3,127 receiving yards and 41 touchdowns, is undeniable.


“We did blocking,” Crabtree said. “We did a lot of routes. That’s probably an advantage over regular receivers, learning all those routes [in the spread offense]. The only thing I’ll have to adjust to is probably blocking, which I’ve been working real hard on that since the end of last season. I had a good blocking season, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

NFL Scout 's view:

Pros: "Obviously he has size and strength and good hands. He's really strong. He has good run after the catch ability. He has a natural feel for following the ball and taking it away at it's highest point. He's kind of a unique guy. He's a former quarterback and he has a real good football sense. He has a feel for where he is on the field. He has the athleticism, it's just a matter of projecting how he'll do at the next level."

Cons: "He's hard to get a read on. It's hard to know if he's a good route runner based on Leach's spread offense. It's much like judging quarterbacks in that offense. You keep going back to those Florida receivers and wonder about that. He ran a lot of stops and slip screens. The foot is obviously an issue. It's supposed to be cut and dried. But no one has seen him run. You have to go on the tape."

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/42613727.html

It's something hard to project, even more so due to the injury, because they've never seem him do it, much like the pass rush skills of one Aaron Curry.

Most scouting reports I have seen say his route running is good enough.

Some scouts like that still have questions because of the system. Not knowing is not a knock. It's not knowing.

Of course, the link you provided is from a small market newspaper on some scout most likely from Green Bay that rarely sees anything in the local media except for Big 10 football.

scouts from CBS, ESPN, Yahoo etc are all fine with Crabtree's route running.

[IronMexican]

I have never seen a LB come out as complete as Aaron Curry. I hope the 6 other teams don't want him because of his pass rushing abilities.
