NFL Draft 2006
 

Thought this could use it's own thread since the other one is more general/Patriots and Colts based.

It is hard to say what will happen at this point. Reggie Bush is pretty much No. 1. The Saints could either trade or likely take D'Brickishaw. Then you have the Titans. It looks like they are going to take Leinart, which could be concievable because of Norm Chow, but he only seems to be getting bad press lately. One of the guys on ESPN last night said he was a late first rounder, which is rediculous, but even so.

I almost think it would be a better move for the Titans to take Vince Young. He can do basically what McNair is doing, and it seemed to work there in the past.

Also, I just don't know about Vince Young on the Raiders. Apparently Al Davis has a boner for him, but having him throw to Randy Moss just seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

That guy who said Leinart was a late 1st rounder is just a USC hater tho, so he was being stupid. If i were the Raiders i'd look real hard at Cutler before taking Young...or the heck with both of them and take Vernon Davis.

Colts will select a running back.

Meco should go pretty soon. What are they saying about him?

I bet the Niners will take Davis before the Raiders even get a pick

$10 says Leinart is a huge bust in the pros.

I personally think that Houston should pull a swerve and draft D'Brickashaw. They have receivers, a running back, get your QB some protection. David Carr has been a huge bust until now, give him some kind of protection so he can attempt to use his weapons.

I hope not. :'(

I'd desperately like to see the Titans get him and do better this season.

Titans need Young..

A couple of years under McNair (AKA The Man") he will rule..

I dunno about my boys.. Am happy yet skeptical about Brees.. I still think we should have gotten a QB in the draft.. Will either draft a lineman or trade down to fill O-Line and D..

I wouldn't be upset getting D'Brickashaw..

This years draft is stacked with linebackers. Perfect for the Pats cuz they can pick up a RB in the 1st round and still get a very good LB in the second

Read somewhere where the Titans and McNair were on pretty bad terms? This was about a week ago though, so new stuff might be going down? :-\

I think Young would be better than Leinart on the Titans too, but the whole Norm Chow thing could change that.

Titans sent McNair home from practice, yeah

From what I heard, he went to lift weights, with the team, at their training facility and they made him leave saying some shit about avoiding offseason injuries.. Pretty much bullshit because he is trying to get stronger to avoid in season injuries.. I knew first hand how bad his ankle is, because when I met him, he walked like he had a wooden leg, but if his trainer and doctor cleared him to work out, they should not treat their frachise player like that..

I am biased though because I am a HUGE McNair mark but whatever..

I can totally see the Jets trading 4th pick, 29th pick and lik next years 2nd round and I dunno a player to be named for the Saints #2 pick. so they can take Leinhart.

:o

Yeah, the injury thing is just a cover for the Titans wanting McNair to re-do his contract.

Yeah and they shouldn't do that to their franchise player..

Its a business though, and the dude hasn't been 100% for a long time. Plus the Titans are in a spot to pick up a future QB, not saying its "right" but it is apart of the game.

I don't think that they would even have to give up that much. I've personally never been a fan of Pennington, I think the Jets should go the way of a QB in the draft. They definitely should look for a RB at some point in the draft. I absolutely love Curtis Martin, the guy can ball even at his old age (football speaking of course). The guy isn't getting any younger though, so I think its a wise move.

I don't know though, I have such a huge feeling Leinart is going to be a huge bust. I never thought Vince Young would amount to much, so if he did I'd be surprised. Dunno about that Cutler kid or anything like that, but if you can do something with Vandy you have to have some sort of talent.

Patrick Ramsey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jets might be better off trading the 4th pick with say Denver. If they wanted someone like Vernon Davis badly enough I think they'd go for it, and then NY would have 3 first rounders - could easily snag a RB, CB and a DE for that.

That would also mean they would have to pay three draft picks first round money. Not a lot of teams do want to do that.

And Vernon Davis will be long gone by the time Broncos get a pick.

That's what I meant, if the Broncos want him badly enough they trade 15 & 22 for the 4

And come on, this is the JETS. When do they ever do anything right.

I bet the 49ers wish they had the first pick this year. Alex Smith 1 TD 11 INTS, I know the team sucked but I really don't think he'll ever be good in the pros. Didn't really seem like a pro prospect while in college, opperated out of the spread.

I heard the Vikings are going to get Leinart. Write it down.

DeWayne Robertson :shifty:

I dunno, would be sick if they trade with the Broncos and get Deangelo Williams. For some reason I think he will be the man

You just stick with Port Vale laddy

I'm hopin Lendale White falls to the Steelers at the end of Rd 1. I figured right after the college season he would easily be a top 15 pick, now, might just fall to 2nd round if the Steelers don't take him.

Broncos traded their 22nd pick to the Niners for like a 3rd and 4th or something like that. Niners have their eye on someone probably one of the rb's?

Good call, because I'm of the opinion that Kevan Barlow is pretty shitty.

I heard the Saints were gonna get him two months ago..

Doesn't mean it'll happen..

Nothing is certain until it happens..

It was for a 2nd and 3rd. I'm thinking they did it so they can move up and take Vernon Davis. Their 1st rd pick combined with the 49er's 2nd rd pick is worth about the 6th or 7th pick in the draft.

Is anybody else sick of ESPN's draft coverage? I was excited for the draft when they first started talking about it, but now they've been going on and on for more than a month, and there's still another week before they actually draft!

Don't get me wrong, I'll watch the first part of the first round (at least long enough to see who the Lions pick up), but the NFL Draft is just so overhyped I find myself saying "Just pick 'em already!"

It would be better if they analyzed the lower rounds of the draft some more. I know who the first 10 picks are going to be, but what about the guys from our schools who will be later picks, that's what people want to know about now.

^ Yeah. I can only listen to Mel Kiper talk about Bush, Leinart, Young, Ferguson, Cutler et al for so long.

Now, if they started focusing on the mid-major guys and "sleepers," I'd probably pay more attention.

For whatever reasons, I really don't get sick of it at all. I actually like sitting and watching the draft too, I'm a weird bird I guess. I gotta work from 3-11 next Saturday and 12-6 on Sunday..Looks like no draft for me :(

I sit down and watch every minute of the draft religously on the first day. I'll watch usually the 4th and 5th rounds too but after that not so much because then I have no idea who any of the players are at all.

Not to mention the fact that on the second day all they talk about is the first day picks, which is the same as all the Bush, Leinart, Young talk etc.

I can watch Reggie Bush highlights all day, that stop on a dime run againest Frenso State was one of the best plays I've ever seen. I realize it wasn't in the NFL but I don't care if he was playing a bunch of grandmas that run was grossssss

So was his jump over a ND defender when he made it look like it was just apart of his running motion.

Yeah I actually caught the USC/FSU game live, I saw him stop and was :eek:

The ND one just pissed me off, in part because ND is my team.

Yah i think i was going nuts about that run in another thread when it happend. ( The fsu run )
