1. I dont know

but I am very glad that the Ravens didn't choose Cutler. I've heard reports that he's got the best potential of any of the QBs in the draft. It's a bipolar situation for the Texans obviously. If Mario Williams is great and is a star they'll look like geniuses however even if Williams is a good player but Bush is a star in New Orleans they'll look like fools. St. Louis about to choose as I type.

2. Houston could have traded down the #1 pick...

for two veteran O-lineman. Texan QB Carr was sacked 68 times last year. Unless they address that issue the Houston offense will be routine 3 and out.
But dont mind me. I'm just pissed that Reggie Bush didnt end up on a west coast team. I fear that he'll be buried in NO, or wherever they play at, and his talent wil be wasted. Drew Brees is the NO QB now. That will add someting to that offense. But without a decent O-line, in the NFL, You Got Nuthin!

[JohnKleeb]

3. Yeah I agree with you there

Well I've heard the Saints may end up in La. Yeah if the Saints don't make the second round pick with a O-Line man they are in for a long season. O-line are probably the most underrated position players by fans. Hmmm wonder who Miami will choose.

[maveric]

4. Update: Miami took saftey Jason Allen.

1 Houston Mario Williams - DE
2 New Orleans Reggie Bush - RB
3 Tennessee Vincent Young - QB

6. I'd love to see the Saints end up in LA.

Unfortuneatly, people in LA have better things to do on Sundays and dont put their asses in the seats.
Now for USC and UCLA games...90,000 fans easily. Rams and Raider games...??? Not enough to keep the teams in America's 2nd largest city.

[JohnKleeb]

8. Which is a shame

because LA would be a good place for a team however I hpoe that Reggie Bush can bring some hope and life to New Orleans after the terrible tragedy those poor people endured.

[maveric]

9. Is the Superdome habitable?

Or will they play in San Antonio or wherever else?

[JohnKleeb]

10. Ive been hearing that they'll be back at the superdome

San Antonio speaking of it may be the city that lands the Florida Marlins in baseball.

[maveric]

7. Dupe. self selete

[Taverner]

5. Vernon Davis, Niner

Rock on!

[JohnKleeb]

11. Bobby Carpenter to the Cowboys

[maveric]

12. My Chargers are on the clock now.

They need DB's real bad!

[JohnKleeb]

13. I think that would be best

Cromartie of FSU.

[maveric]

14. They drafted Cromartrie. A DB with injury issues.

Anyone know anything about him?

[JohnKleeb]

15. Notta

Only one RB chosen so far in Reggie Bush and no receivers so far.

[maveric]

17. 14 of the top 20 picks are defensive players.

Defense wins games.

[JohnKleeb]

18. Yep

Balance wins games too. The Cards had the number one passing game in the NFL last year and they blew.

[JohnKleeb]

16. Amazing story about this guy Hali

Wow.

[Mojambo]

19. Some good receivers are dropping

Chad Jackson and Santonio Holmes both still out there.

[JohnKleeb]

20. Not one WR picked so far

I've been told this is a weak class though.

[Mojambo]

21. Kinda surprised to see Winston Justice still out there.

[maveric]

22. Pats take a RB. Good choice for them. Dillon is getting old.

They should use their remaining picks for DBs. Their pass defense was terrible last year. Granted they had injuries but how many years does Rodney Harrison have left in him?

[JohnKleeb]

23. Wonder who Tampa will pick

[maveric]

24. Davin Joseph - G - Oklahoma

Looking to protect Simms.

[JohnKleeb]

30. Yeah I see that

Liked the Steelers trade up for Santonio Holmes. He seems like he'll fit in great.

[maveric]

[Mojambo]

26. That penalty flag Berman dropped after the Seahawks pick...

The highlight of the draft.

:rofl:

[maveric]

28. Was it just me or did Michael Irvin look high? Or hungover?

He was rambling more than usual and his eyes seemes to be half closed and the goofiness factor seemed to be greater than usual.
Did you notice anything like that?

[Mojambo]

29. I think that's how he normally looks.

I don't think for a second that Irvin is even remotely clean.

[maveric]

27. End of 1st round. Here they are!

1 Houston Mario Williams - DE
2 New Orleans Reggie Bush - RB

30 Indianapolis Joseph Addai - RB
31 Seattle Kelly Jennings - CB
32 New York Mathias Kiwanuka - DE

And I am done watching this boring shit!

[Mojambo]

31. Pretty straightforward draft

The only team that did really badly was Buffalo.

The Jets and San Francisco had good drafts, but then they should with 2 first round picks.

[steely]

32. Thanks for the report Chief.

speaking as an eagles fan, who is Bunkley?

[Mojambo]

33. Bunkley was rated by most as the 2nd best DT in the draft

Behind Ngata who was nabbed by Baltimore, I think.

He should start right away.
