Draft Time

[scott]

And here is my mock...

I am assuming no trades, but I expect both SF, MIA, CLE, and Dallas all to try to move down with Washington and Philly trying to move up

1. SF - Alex Smith, QB
2. MIA - Ronnie Brown, RB
3. CLE - Demarcus Ware, DE/OLB (surprise pick of the day!)
4. CHI - Braylon Edwards, WR
5. TB - Carnell Williams, RB
6. TEN - Antrelle Rolle, CB
7. MIN - Troy Williamson, WR
8. ARI - Aaron Rodgers, QB
9. WAS - Carlos Rogers, CB
10. DET - Derrick Johnson, LB
11. DAL - Shawne Merriman, DE/OLB
12. SD - Marcus Spears, DE
13. HOU - Alex Barron, OT
14. CAR - Cedric Benson, RB
15. KC - Pac-Man Jones, CB
16. NO - Thomas Davis, SS/OLB (I think he moves to OLB for the Saints)
17. CIN - Erasmus James, DE
18. MIN - David Pollack, DE
19. STL - Jamaal Brown, OT
20. DAL - Mike Williams, WR (falls inexplicably)
21. JAX - Marlin Jackson, CB
22. BAL - Mark Clayton, WR
23. SEA - Elton Brown, OG
24. GB - Charlie Frye, QB
25. WAS - Jason Campbell, QB (Skins reach, what else is new)
26. OAK - Fabian Washington, CB
27. ATL - Bodney Poole, FS
28. SD - Roddy White, WR
29. IND - Travis Johnson, DT
30. PIT - Heath Miller, TE
31. PHI - Matt Jones, WR/TE
32. NE - Dan Cody, OLB/DE

[ALVAREZ6]

So far the Niners took Alex Smith and Miami took Ronnie Brown

[IceColdBrewski]

Don't be suprised if Philly trades up for Elton Brown or Mark Clayton.

[ducks]

Cleveland Braylon Edwards

[IceColdBrewski]

Also, don't be suprised if Travis Henry is an Eagle by the end of the day.

[ducks]

also be not suprised if the owens bitches he is broke again today

The Skins Draft Wire: Updated 12:30 PM

12 Noon

The Niners are on the clock, as they have been since January. The Skins don’t have the ammo to trade all the way up to #1 even assuming that the 49ers really are in a frame of mind to deal it. They’re fielding calls from every team, we’re being told breathlessly by Sal Palantonio. That hardly qualifies as “man bites dog” news. What team at #1 doesn’t field calls in the minutes leading up to the pick?

Looking for last-second clues as to what might happen, turn to the major DC daily papers. The Post article, by Jason La Canfora, is all about trading up. The Times article, by David Elfin, mentions the possibility but focuses on other scenarios.

Now, given the recent animosity that has existed between the Post and the Redskins organization, which one do you think is getting better information?

12:30 PM

This is the key moment here. A trade for Edwards either happens here or it doesn’t happen at all. If Miami doesn’t trade the pick, they’ll probably take Edwards. Even if they pass on Edwards, Cleveland won’t. StatCounter - Free Web Tracker and Counter

Skins Draft Target: Justin Tuck Premium Story
By Scout.com Staff
Date: Apr 22, 2005

If you're not inhaling the draft smokescreens the Redskins are putting out, you might believe that they would consider taking a defensive end in first round on Saturday. We've looked at a few of the more prominent ones here lately; now let's take a look at a dark horse for the #25 selection.

[ducks]

daft is very slow!

[ducks]

first off, it looks as if a trade involving Buffalo Bills running back Travis Henry is a certainty. But he may end up landing with the Philadelphia Eagles, who are dangling a third-round pick.

[ducks]

Chicago Cedric Benson

[ducks]

lots of srs being chosen first
unlike the nba

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Cedric shaved the dreds so he didn't look like pothead Ricky :lol

[scott]

He still looked higher than a kite... he couldn't wait to get to the back room and munch on those snacks.

[IceColdBrewski]

Cedric shaved the dreds so he didn't look like pothead Ricky :lol

Exactly what I was thinking.

"I wanted to make a new start". Yeah right. He just didn't want to be compared to Ricky.

[IceColdBrewski]

scott. Do you really see Mike Williams falling that far? That won't happen. I hope it does though. Philly would most likely trade up to 20 and get him.

[ALVAREZ6]

I don't think it will happen, but if it does...GO EAGLES!!

[ducks]

1 SF Alex Smith * (QB)
2 Mia Ronnie Brown * (RB)
3 Cle Braylon Edwards * (WR)
4 Chi Cedric Benson * (RB)
5 TB Carnell Williams * (RB)
6 Ten Adam Jones * (CB)

[ducks]

One thing that may have played a difference for Tennessee is Pacman Jones' ability to return punts and kicks. Antrel Rolle shouldn't slip past Arizona at the eighth pic

[ducks]

Pacman Jones to Tennessee at the sixth pick is definitely a slight surprise. Most teams felt Antrel Rolle's playmaking ability had moved him ahead of Jones as the No. 1 cornerback

[IceColdBrewski]

Here comes Arizona. If they select a RB, it most likely means that their dealings with Travis Henry fell through.

Well, nevermind. All the good RB's are gone. They'd be reaching for one now.

[ducks]

Minnesota Troy Williamson * 6-2 195 WR JR South Carolina

[ducks]

Arizona Antrel Rolle * 6-1 202 CB SR Miami (Fl)

[ducks]

Here comes Arizona. If they select a RB, it most likely means that their dealings with Travis Henry fell through.

Well, nevermind. All the good RB's are gone. They'd be reaching for one now.

wrong :lol

[ducks]

With Antrel Rolle, Arizona adds a nice piece to the 12th-rated defense from 2004. He is a major hitter and a playmaker like Ty Law. - 2:03 pm EDT

[ducks]

One interesting thing about Rolle: Redskins wide receiver and fellow ex-Miami Hurricane Santana Moss raved about Rolle when we talked to him about their summer workouts.

[scott]

Well, I pegged the Skins correctly... Danny boy's first reach of the day... next will be the other Auburn guy... Jason Campbell.

ps: I think there is a CHANCE Mike Williams drops to 20... we can only hope.

[IceColdBrewski]

I can't believe the Vikes passed on Mike Williams. Their fans were obviously shocked as well.

[scott]

I think Williamson is a better fit for the Vikes... Mike Williams isn't built for the dome, he is a NFC East type of WR...

[N.Y. Johnny]

Cowboys are up now

[scott]

Well holy shit... the Lions pick Mike Williams... Rogers/Williams/Williams... now they just need a QB

[N.Y. Johnny]

Well holy shit... the Lions pick Mike Williams... Rogers/Williams/Williams... now they just need a QB


Joe Harrington has no more excuses now...produce or GO!
this is probably canceled out by the Often chronically injured Carlos Rogers.
if they keep all 3 wide outs healthy the Lions have a great set of Wideouts easily

[IceColdBrewski]

Obviously a value pick. But that's fine with me. Now the Cowpokes can't draft him.

My first thought was they drafted Williams to trade him. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

[N.Y. Johnny]

Dallas will puss out and trade down! :lol

Dan Cody from OU to the cowboys i bet

[N.Y. Johnny]

DeMarcus Ware from Troy State...typical Parcells guy

damn Derrick Johnson fell far!!!

[scott]

I like the Ware pick... I was torn between Johnson/Merriman/Ware... I can't complain.

I was hoping we'd trade down a few spots and still be able to get one of those guys.

[N.Y. Johnny]

Goddamn Jets traded away their number 1 this year. :pctoss

I feel left out of this shit!

[IceColdBrewski]

I like the Ware pick... I was torn between Johnson/Merriman/Ware... I can't complain.

I was hoping we'd trade down a few spots and still be able to get one of those guys.

My biggest fear was the Cowboys taking Johnson or Spears.

[N.Y. Johnny]

Houston Texans are so fuckin retarded :rolleyes

[N.Y. Johnny]

Nevermind....the SAINTS!! are so fuckin retarded :lol
wow

[IceColdBrewski]

Nevermind....the SAINTS!! are so fuckin retarded :lol
wow

Why? Dude is a beast and didn't allow a sack or a hurry all year. Not a bad trade if you ask me.

[N.Y. Johnny]

lol I just don't like Hazlett Ice

yeah it is a good choice for ONCE!! :lol

plus they also fucked over Carolina!

[N.Y. Johnny]

Panthers just drafted Boxer Zab Judah

[IceColdBrewski]

Poor Aaron Rodgers. He has that "I want to crawl under a rock and hide right now" look.

The good news for him is that he'll most likely go to a decent team.

[N.Y. Johnny]

Green Bay? hell Rodgers might fall to the 2nd Round!!!
cause NONE of the guys going now need a QB they're all Set, Chiefs, Seahawks, HOuson, Cinncinnati ...Packers at 24 need an heir to Favre

Maybe Dallas if he falls farther? I say maybe a chance he goes in the 2nd round!!

[IceColdBrewski]

From Gary Horton in ESPN's draft chat:

Aaron: Where do the latest rumors have Travis Henry going, and what will the Bills get in return?

Gary Horton: (11:53 AM ET ) Just got off the phone with Arizona and it appears to be a dead deal there. The concencus is Henry is going to the Eagles. They will give up a third round pick for him. That would be a great deal for the Eagles and probably forces the Cardinals to now take one of the three RBs in the first round. Tampa was also in play but Henry will be a Eagle by the end of the day.

Wonder when/if this trade is going to happen.

[IceColdBrewski]

Green Bay? hell Rodgers might fall to the 2nd Round!!!
cause NONE of the guys going now need a QB they're all Set, Chiefs, Seahawks, HOuson, Cinncinnati ...Packers at 24 need an heir to Favre

Yeah, I figure Dallas will take him and groom him to take over in a year or two.

[N.Y. Johnny]

i think Dallas will keep on track and improve the Defense and STILL bank on Henson

Rogers looks like if he won't go to Green Bay he'll go in the 2nd round then

[IceColdBrewski]

Rogers looks like if he won't go to Green Bay he'll go in the 2nd round then

I don't see him falling to the second round. There's always a few teams out there who will pick based on value alone regardless of needs. Someone will draft him to groom him and trade him if nothing else. Similar to how Philly did with A.J. Feeley.

The future:

[IceColdBrewski]

Spears is still there. If the Cowboys don't take him, Jerry should be shot.

[T Park]

Rams select Alex Barron.


Good choice. Although I wouldve preffered Jammal Brown.

Dude said he would rather forfeit a win against Oklahoma and win the Heisman trophy. What a winner. :rolleyes

The interview they did with him after he was drafted was downright painfull to watch. He's either not to bright or he's very camera shy.

[mookie2001]

Dude said he would rather forfeit a win against Oklahoma and win the Heisman trophy. What a winner. :rolleyes





no he didnt, not in any words even close to that
i'll let you find the quote if you want to argue

he was upset in the interview because everyone was scoffing him this week saying he was slipping, the 3rd best back, people were over-comparing him to ricky
he's a big time player, who put up unreal numbers

[scott]

He is the third best back, and when he becomes a career 3.2 ypc guy maybe you'll agree.

I don't like the Spears pick.

[mookie2001]

he's proven he can carry and carry and carry
UNLIKE brown and cad williams

we'll see

[IceColdBrewski]

Easy. I can see you're a little defensive about your boy Cedric. I'm just telling you what I heard on my XM radio a couple of days ago. Maybe you're right. Maybe it was bullshit blown up by the media. Nothing worth getting in a pissing match over.

I'm sure Cedric will make a fine pro for 4-5 years. But he has a lot of wear-n-tear on them wheels.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

who gives a shit about ricky smoking weed

Well the Miami Dolphins for one.

[Benspur]

You bet!

I'm a Dolphins fan and I just don't want another Ricky Williams type of player.
Benson has exactly the same kind of attitude as Ricky, namely a pothead.
The real question is : Would you draft a real workhorse, capable of carrying the ball 30+ times a game with relative efficiency ? Or would you draft Brown, a proven RB (although you could question his durability), with perhaps less talent but who has a good attitude like and who won't let you down at 28 or so at the end of a season ?

Dolphins management adequately answered this question.

[Mr Dio]

the benson cutting his dreads is oldass news

Exactly, BUT some people still don't have electricity or a newspaper in their city/village so how they have known this. :lol :lol :lol
