Add New Orleans to my picking, I am use to being last.

I think trading one of the top QBs in the league while you can still get valve for him, isnt a bad decision. They have there qb of the future and at some point in time, you have to turn it over to him. I thought GB was stupid for letting Farve walk, but it turned out to be the right decision. To a divisional rival seemed pretty dumb, but time will tell.

I like this draft alot, but here is my take: RD3 John Jerry/OG/ Ole Miss, should be able to start on the left side right away. RD4 Myron Lewis/FS/Vanderbilt A CB in college can become the FS we are missing. RD5 Sam Young/OT/ND Could become our swing tackle when Schafer is gone. RD6 Rafael Priest/CB/TCU A sleeper with some speed and a future. RD7 Freddie Barnes/WR/ Bowling Green Cant argue with his production.

With the likes of Brandon Marshall going for a 2nd round pick, and Holmes and Ginn for 5th round picks, I would suspect that Olsen may not carry as much worth as we may like.

What bothers me about these decision makers is the lack of a plan to address needs. I will give them they went out and addressed DE, but still have questions at FS and OL. and if you wish to buy into it, still need help at WR. Someone like Philly will drop players, sign people, make trades, and address there needs in the draft anyway they need to. You can right or wrong, at least see a plan with what they are doing. I wish I could figure out what our leaders are doing, they have did some nice things over the last two years, but fall short with to many bad decisions. They keep repeating moves to make up for past mistakes. As much as no matter what I want the team to succeed, I want Lovie and Jerry gone, and dont know how both can happen at the same time.

I think the possibility that if a better projected player at CB is there we take him instead of reaching for a less FS. I still think moving Tillman to FS is a definite possiblity. The worst thing you can due in a draft is draft for need and reach for players. We have many so-so players in the defensive backfield, we need an upgrade.

Ill take the Titans as a picker

The only problem I have with drafting a safety is, he will be a rookie and chances of the 4th or 5th rated safety having an impact on a team so in direr need of an impact from that position. I would pefer to get one in free agency and add a draft pick to help develope for depth or eventually starting, getting us back to signing Atogwe.

I only used the term to stress the point, he wont be able to draw a #2 pick, as many thought we could get for him.

I heard today on the Score that one team has offered a 6th round pick for Olsen. If someones scouits think he is only worth a #6, I dont see anybody offering a #2 for him, except maybe from the Canadian League.

I totally agree with you. Atogwe, if possible would be a bigtime signing, at 29, could have 3 productive years, and then with the first two draft picks, get a OG and OT. Then I would just draft CBs with our last three picks, and hope we can find a gem in the rough. The only other option I would consider is to go after a FA CB, like Bodden and move Tillman to FS. He would play well there. Only after knowing we couldnt get Atogwe.

I wish we could get a #1 for him but the reality of him as an elite TE is elite doesnt fit. All some one has to do is watch tape on him last year. I took him as my TE in three of my fantasy leagues, and way over valved him. If someone gives us a #2 for him they GM wont be long in his job. I would hope for a #3 at best.

I should have probably proof read that topic first, my 8th grade education is showing again. (are instead of on)slim and (probably instead of problem) just cut

I read on Profootballtalk.com that odds of Donta Whitner/FS/Buffalo staying on the team on slim. He was a 6th pick in the 2006 draft and havent lived up to expectations for the team. Could he revive his carrer as a Bear? I think it would be a low end risk to obtain him, and give it a shot. Offer them a 6th pick? They will problem just cut him anyways.

They will trade Olsen, but unfortuately wont get a 2nd for him. Bodin went for a 3 and 4. We will be lucky to get a 3, and probably a 4. Olsen was suppose to be the nex great TE. He isnt a good blocker, was last at his position at YAC , dropped to many balls. Sorry a fast TE than doesnt do much else, isnt going to make in for Martz.

I think in this offense Louis could become the backup TE. The TE is just not a big receiver in Martz offense, so I would say Clark stays because he can block, and Davis goes. No way we keep 4 TEs.

They needed to get some pieces for Martz's offense and The TE(as a blocker) and Taylor fits it quite well. Great reciever, and excellent on the draw play. Plus he hits the holes quicker than Forte, so I think he will see more playing time than forte. It wont hurt to lite a fire under Forte.

first of all they wont address all needs as a priority. I think they find an OL in the first two picks of the draft. You can get a quality OG with the third pick and move Olimaye to RT. I think we need to draft both a OG and OT moving forward. With what they got for Boldin, I think we would be lucky to get a 3rd and probably a 4th for Olsen. So my idea is to offer a 5th and Olsen to KC for Glen Dorcey, DT. He doesnt fit there defense, and would excel in ours and maybe KC thinks Olsen reminds them of Gonzales. As for FS it wont cost any draft picks so we have to go after Atogwe, as a second option go after Bodden/CB from NE and move Tillman to FS. I think he would play well there and after NE paying Wilford big money wont spend alot on Bodden to retain him. As for WR, Boldin doesnt really fit Martz offense and we have enough upside in our Wideouts to take the risk and stand pat. With Knox, Devin, Devin, Bennett, Iglesius, and we just signed Peterman for two years. If Martz didnt think that would work, we would have went after somebody. In the draft I think we need to get a couple of OLs, still need to draft a FS and CB.

This story has some unrealistic choices. Ryan cant leave Cleveland unless Cleveland lets him go. His is appling for the same position, so he cant seek a job, and as he did a good job with them, why would they let him walk? As far as the 3-4, Lovie wont let that happen. Brown is to light for a 5 technique DE, Tillman to FS makes alot of sense, but the 3-4 needs run stuffing ILBers and Im not sure Urac, and Williams fits that role. Anderson fits better as a OLB than Tisa. Idonije and Gilbert actually could fit the 5 tech end position. Denver wont trade for Harris, he doesnt fit a 3-4, and If they let Marshall sign somewhere else, that teams owe them a #1 and #3. We dont have a first round pick to make that work.

JA has had some good picks and bad ones. The problem is his high picks havent had enough hits, and that just isnt good enough. We are stuck with Lovie for another year for business reasons, but I thought if we got rid of Jerry and brought in some one to run the show and evaluate everything thru the next year, that that would have been a good move. It aint happening, but just dont have the trust in Jerry to make the right moves.

Is there anywhere that I could see my team, I cant find it on Yahoo, and being in 5 leagues last year I got confused.

I think for this team playing the screwed up scheme it does you have to have a FS, and just move Tillman to that spot and let some of the younger guys play, and bring in as draft picks or if there are any vets out there. A ballhawking FS is a must, been bad since Browny started his injuries. Vasher is gone, let someone else try.

the idea of having keepers shouldnt be a penalty, In one league I was in , after the 5th round we could keep one keeper and lose that round. Leaves for a normal draft and doesnt dilute it as bad. It worked out quite well.

Gosh I dont think I have been on here since the football season started. I vote for one keeper, if we all keep 2 it will dilute the draft and not make it as much fun. I also think whatever player you keep you just lose that round in the draft. So if you keep your first pick, you lose that round or your 5th pick lose that round. that makes picking gems in later rounds more attractive. Who was crushers, who won? I took a nose dive at the end, but had it going for awhile.
