[Coffee Warlord]

Nah. I think it's high time they get themselves a punter.

It's more complicated than you're making it sound. Fisher and Chow are leaning toward Leinart. Reese and Adams lean toward Young.

Well, T-minus 6 days and counting...

The end of the "Lions will draft another WR" jokes is a side benefit of draft day I haven't really thought of until now. Assuming, of course, (this is a BIG assumption) that the Lions actually do not draft a WR.

On draft day, the Lions will trade down. And why will they trade down? So they can draft more receivers, of course!

That is the speculation at the time. And Norm Chow doesn't sign the checks.

[CleBrownsfan]

I'm leaving now (I have the Browns 12th pick) for a x2 header I have to umpire. I probably wont be able to pick until tomorrow morning.

I'm just hoping beyond hope that Santonio Holmes shows up to the draft in Lions gear. And that he starts up to the podium with a big smile on his face when the Lions' pick is announced. And then looks shocked and confused when it isn't him.

That would be the best Lions/WR joke ever.

[Schmidty]

I'm here guys. Just trying to sort through the trade offers I've had.

[Schmidty]

primelord, I'm trying to send you a PM, but your PM box is full.

[kingfc22]

Just pick a WR and get it over with.

[Schmidty]

Assuming that the trade is still ok with primelord, here it is:

Detroit Lions trade 1.9 to St. Louis. In return they will recieve the Rams 1.11, 3.13, and 5.11

Yeah sorry about that. It's clean now, but the pick is still ok with me.

Ok, then I guess you're up.

[primelord]

With the 1.9 St. Louis selects TE Vernon Davis, Maryland

We gave up a little too much per the value chart, but I think Davis is going to be an absolute monster and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity.

I really wanted to take him, but he's close enough to a WR, that I couldn't risk further ridicule.

[Deattribution]

You both suck

[Deattribution]

Yeah, that was my line of thinking that he was going to fall to 10th.

[Schmidty]

By the way, if anyone else is looking to move up, let me know ASAP.

[Deattribution]

With the 10th overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft, the Arizona Cardinals select - OT Winston Justice, USC

[Travis]

Well, Davis stays in the division though I really thought it would have been SF taking him. Can't say I'd be happy having any team in the NFC West though I hope Boulware would be a decent matchup against him.

Last chance for people who that want to move up (though I don't want to move down more than 4-5 spots).

[RedKingGold]

And once again...the Lions are SHOT DOWN!

[bulletsponge]

damn im having buyers remorse, i wish i picked Young #1, it would have shooken the draft up completly

[cthomer5000]

You can still nab the top WR.

That skit on Family Guy where Stewie goes off on that little girl who says "You are the weakest link, goodbye!", comes to mind right now.

[Schmidty]

1.11 DT - Haloti Ngata

With Big Daddy Wilkerson most likely retiring, the Lions will need to fill a huge hole in the D-line next to Shaun Rogers. Ngata is supposedly most suited for the 3-4, but from what I read, not only is he huge and strong, he's also quite quick and agile. That sounds a lot like Shaun Rogers coming out of college. I also think he's the best value left on the board.

[Eaglesfan27]

Nice pick, Schmidty.

Thanks. Hopefully my fellow Lions fans won't be too disappointed in the trade and pick.

Not bad. There is certainly a void left with the likely departure of Wilkerson. Based on what I've read, it appears as if Bunckley (sp?), the DT from Florida State, is allegedly, a better fit in Marinelli's defensive scheme, since he's more of an upfield, agressive, and quick DT - than Ngata. Personally, I have no idea. I don't recall seeing either guy play.

I was seriously considering Bunckley, but there are questions about his work ethic and motor, so that definitely won't work with Marinelli and Henderson in charge.

[Schmidty]

Dola.

There is another guy I really considered as well, but I won't say who it is until he's picked.

[Young Drachma]

If Carolina is still open, then..I'll have them.

The only other guy I think I would have given serious consideration too at that spot would have been Ernie Sims.

We should probably be talking about it via PM, just in case we unfairly influence the draft.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Agreed.

[Sublime 2]

New England is looking to move up into the 15-17 region. So if any of Denver, Miami, or Buffalo want to move down let me know.

[Karlifornia]

I have to leave for work in about an hour.....I'll be gone for about 5-6 hours, but I will log back in tonight before I go to bed.

[bulletsponge]

Really had my eyes on Vernon Davis, but can't pass up on Cutler.

With the 1.8, Minnesota selects QB Jay Cutler, Vanderbilt

Ok im a Vikes fan, can i ask why this kid is this high? why do scouts like him, considering he never did much in college

[Schmidty]

He's one of those "combine wonders". They're crapshoots, and not worth taking, imho.

[ISiddiqui]

Not entirely... he was a pretty good QB for Vandy, and even before the combine he was getting praise for his skills.

well i hope the Vikes can get a QB this draft, but one from Texas

[primelord]

Expanding on what Isiddiqui said... He was considered the 3rd best QB and likely 1st round pick before the post season bowls even started. His Senior Bowl performance has probably done mroe for him than the combine did. The combination of the two though di bring him up from the late first round to possibly the early first.

[Noble_Platypus]

if nobody still has the Colts I will take then

[Schmidty]

So, what's the point where we give up on the guy who's supposed to be picking?

[The Destroyer]

Panthers still open? I'll draft for them!

He did announce it ahead of time...

Remaining players from Scouts Inc. 1st round:
9. Brodrick Bunkley Sr. DT Florida St.
11. Kamerion Wimbley Sr. DE Florida St.
13. Ernie Sims Jr. OLB Florida St.
15. Chad Jackson Jr. WR Florida
16. Santonio Holmes Jr. WR Ohio St.
17. DeAngelo Williams Sr. RB Memphis
18. Chad Greenway Sr. OLB Iowa
19. Jonathan Joseph Jr. CB S. Carolina
20. Donte Whitner Jr. S Ohio St.
21. Jimmy Williams Sr. DB Virginia Tech
22. Manny Lawson Sr. DE NC State
23. Tye Hill Sr. CB Clemson
24. Laurence Maroney Jr. RB Minnesota
25. Antonio Cromartie Jr. CB Florida St.
26. LenDale White Jr. RB USC
27. Ashton Youboty Jr. CB Ohio St.
28. Mathias Kiwanuka Sr. DE B. College
29. Sinorice Moss Sr. WR Miami-Fla.
30. Nick Mangold Sr. OC Ohio St.
31. Bobby Carpenter Sr. OLB Ohio St.
32. Mercedes Lewis Sr. TE UCLA

I'm seriously interested to see who the Bucs pick up with the 23rd pick. I'm really hoping for a OL but I can't see a Winston Justice type of player falling this far. I'm guessing that someone like Auburn OT Marcus McNeill might land here.
