** I have no clue how to spell Poz's name, so I call him Poz

 

Also, I just winged the 2007 thing, just for fun... so dont take it too serious. (althoguth it may be the most stacked RB draft in a long time)

[Brian]

I'd love for the Bears to get any of the top 3 TE's. Not sure if they would be around though.

[greasywheels121]

Bernard Pollard

[DukeNukeEm]

I want Alan Zemaitis personally.

 

He's a Tillman clone except a better nose for the ball. Terrific player, gets calleed overrated b/c he supposedly "doesnt carry a 2nd gear".. but is a strong and aggresive.

 

Believe me, he will play WR's like Chad Johnson and Marvin Harrison and shut them down. His kryptonite is Santana Moss, Kevin Curtis... that type of WR.

[WHarris1]

There are quite a few corners I would take over Alan Zem

[chimpy2121]

No Michael Huff, the Jim Thorpe award winner?

hes the #2 Safety.

 

I took Mike Griffin off my last rankings (that pick in the Rose Bowl isnt a pick in the pro's.. which is pretty s***ty) and probably took Huff off also.

 

I do that sometimes.. I had Abdul Hodge in at #14 on the Futures Ranks.. b/c I always get confused with Ahmad Brooks.

 

I mess up at least once per Mock/Rankings

Just Wondering... who would that be? I'm curious about who people think is the top DB in this draft.

JWill, Youboty, Hill, Marshall, Jennings, Cromartie

[Kalapse]

No Omar Jacobs?

[Felix]

QB:

1. Vince Young Texas

2. Jay Cutler Vanderbilt

3. Matt Lienart USC

Leinart third? I highly doubt that. Even with the way Young played in the Rose Bowl, I still see Leinart being the first QB drafted, and the best of the class.

 

12. Poz LB Penn State**

Posluszny

My brother goes to PSU, so I support them, and it took awhile to remember how to spell his name

 

I want Alan Zemaitis personally.

 

He's a Tillman clone except a better nose for the ball.  Terrific player, gets calleed overrated b/c he supposedly "doesnt carry a 2nd gear".. but is a strong and aggresive.

Zematis is great. I would love to see him on the Bears, although I doubt he'd fall to the Bears pick in the second round

[Felix]

No Omar Jacobs?

He's going to be the sleeper of this years draft. Whatever team takes him will have a fine quarterback to groom for the future.

[DukeNukeEm]

JWill, Youboty, Hill, Marshall, Jennings, Cromartie

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I'll just give my reasons for not having them 1 (or not putting them in the ranks.. period) by 1.

 

Jimmy Williams : Most overrated CB I think I've ever seen. Thinks he's a thug and he plays for VA Tech. He'd be a better Safety than CB.. but hes not going to go anywhere.

 

Youboty : This is a case of me liking a player, but not liking him as much as the guys ahead of him, being behind the guys in front of him isnt a disgrace for him

 

Tye Hill: 1 reason: 5-10 180. Little weak CBs I hate, in order for me to be really high on a CB coming out of the draft he has to be 200+ or if he isnt that, he has to be an absolute blanket (Anwar and Gordon)

 

Richard Marshall: I havent watched enough of him to get really high on him, only game I've watched of his was USC. Fresno State.. even with Pineager (sp?) isnt a hot ticket in my book.

 

Jennings: f*** you, Miami Hurricanes, I hate you.

 

Cromartie: If anybodys going to take over A to Z its him.. have to see his workout #'s b/c that will dictate his stock.

[DukeNukeEm]

No Omar Jacobs?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

could he throw any more like a b****? he had the game v Wisconsin and other that hasnt been impressive. He was upstaged in his best game by Calhoun.

 

He doesnt look like a pro QB to me.

[DukeNukeEm]

Leinart third?  I highly doubt that.  Even with the way Young played in the Rose Bowl, I still see Leinart being the first QB drafted, and the best of the class.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

This isnt where I think they go in the draft, this is how I rank em. Lienart has a very weak arm compared to Cutler and Young.

 

Vince Young is the best QB for the Pro's Ive seen other than Carson Palmer. Young > Bush... and it isnt close for me.

If Young can become a better pocket passer, then yea, he'd be a great QB in the pros. I dont think he's anywhere near being a passer for the NFL, so I don't really see him going anywhere. He's also not going to have the type of offensive line he had in college, something he relies on.

 

Time will tell I guess.

[Felix]

And you are saying Vince Young is the best QB?

Yep, nothing about his career 71:11 TD:INT ratio says NFL QB

Youngs biggest assett is his head.

 

He's got everything down pat physically.. but he is the best competitor and has the best attitude you could ask for. He's the kind of guy you want leading your team.

[Kalapse]

Just a note: Paul Posluszny is going back to Penn State for his senior season. Torn knee ligaments will do that to you.

Young delivery is "awkward" not "b****ly."

 

 

Hes that kind of player who dominate College Defenses, but then once the Pro's start gameplanning for him he loses his edge.

And again, you say Young is going to be the best QB in the draft? That right there is the exact reason he will not be that good in the pros.

[Kalapse]

I probably should have actually read your LB and '07 rankings instead of just skimming through the thread and seeing someone quote you on it.

Pete Carroll was a Head Coach in the NFL.

 

Pete Carroll gameplanned for Vince Young. Ehh... look at what Young did to those gameplans.

 

Those crazy ass blitz packages we were promised were dominated by Young. He read them all and knew what was going on.
