25 (NYG), 28(JAX), and 29 (NYJ) all have feature backs 30 or over, so Williams might not fall to 30 anyway with Maroney off the board.
I know what has happened thus far. Either way, $$$ are the worst way to make a decision like that. You have to be Texans-stupid to make pass up on a better player because he'd make a little more money.
But... they are just rumors, and originated by The Huddle Report, making them probably full of . (The Huddle Report also gave us goodies like #18, Roy Williams and Greg Ellis for Ray Lewis and Ed Reed)
Is Davin Joseph #77 for OU? That guy's a monster - sort of forgot about him.
Bengals select....
Johnathan Joseph
DeAngelo could go to the Giants
What happened to Santonio Holmes?
No one has drafted a WR so far. No WR might even go in the 1st round. Well Steelers MAY get a WR.
is Lendale still available? If he is, Stellers take him
LenDale will probably get drafted by the Panthers
Denver made out like a bandit. Cutler is a good pick for Denver.
Giants will go with either a WR or RB.
doubtfull
I wonder what the effect of failing the drug test will be on LW ?
Cutler = Carson Palmer
good pick up
stupid trade by the Rams.
Steelers traded with the Giants
Is there any sensible reason for 1 round of a draft to last 4 and a half hours so far?
Goodness......
Steelers select....
Santonio Holmes
I knew the Steelers would go for a WR, they must really liked Holmes to trade up.
dang
Lendale goes farther down.
Anybody listen to Colin Cowherd?
Who was it he was really down on?
Was it Santonio Holmes!?!?!?
Giants get 32nd pick, 3rd and 4th rounder
Bills traded with the Bears.....
Bills select....
John McCargo
Arizona drafts Matt Leinart with 10th pick of first round
Arizona drafts Matt Leinart with 10th pick of first round

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals said, as many teams do, that they would take the best player available with the 10th choice in the NFL draft.
They were pleased that player turned out to be quarterback Matt Leinart. The former Southern California star and 2004 Heisman Trophy winner was still on the board when the Cardinals' turn came Saturday, and they wasted no time picking him.

"Lo and behold, we got the guy we wanted," coach Dennis Green said. "We're excited. We really look at this as a gift."
During the offseason, the Cardinals signed starting quarterback Kurt Warner through 2008. But they have been looking for a backup who will take over the job when Warner retires. Warner, who turns 35 in June, hasn't played a 16-game season since 2001, so Leinart could see action this season.
The Cardinals, who went 5-11 last year, have many needs. Arizona officials guessed that at least one of the draft's three highly touted quarterbacks -- Leinart, Vince Young of Texas and Jay Cutler of Vanderbilt -- would be available when their turn came.
Tennessee selected Young third overall. Leinart and Cutler were still out there when Arizona selected. Cutler went with the 11th pick, to Denver.
"That was the key thing: Was Tennessee going to take Leinart or Young?" Green said.
Rod Graves, Arizona's vice president for football operations, said several teams called with trade offers. But when the Cardinals' turn came, they used only a fraction of their allotted 15 minutes before turning in the card with Leinart's name on it.
Graves said their haste was intentional.
"Coach brought it up: We're excited about Matt Leinart, let's not waste any time," Graves said. "We wanted to send the right signal that we're happy to have him. This is a great opportunity for our football team.
"Let's send the right signal to Matt Leinart, let's send the right signal to the rest of the NFL and to our fans that we're excited about this pick," Graves said.
Leinart's excitement was mixed with relief.
"I think it's a great situation for me," he said in a teleconference. "I'm just happy that I'm going to a team that wants me."
After his junior season at USC, the 6-foot-4, 224-pound Leinart was projected by many analysts to be the top pick in last year's draft. But Leinart decided to return for his senior season to try to lead the Trojans to a third straight national le.
He came close, losing to Young and the Longhorns in a classic Rose Bowl last January. It was only the second loss in Leinart's 39 college starts.
"No regrets," Leinart said. "I think I made the best decision at the time."
"He is a guy that wins on the field and he is a guy that inspires his teammates," Green said.
Leinart is the fifth quarterback the Cardinals have drafted in the first round since 1960 and the first since 1987, when they selected Colorado State's Kelly Stouffer.
In Arizona, Leinart will throw to Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. The club also signed running back Edgerrin James in the offseason.
WTF, John McCargo in the 1st round??????
Panthers on the clock.....
I think they will select LenDale
Bills take Whitner at #8 and trade up to #26 to get John McCargo
WTF
