-Hello everyone I have much to share as things are changing quickly.

First what seemed like a sure thing trade has now been cut off. I reported to you previously that through reliable sources I expected Dillon to be traded to Dallas on draft day 1. Well, Parcell's decided as of this morning to redo there entire draft strategy. Is this the result of the expected release of Larry Allen? You bet it is. Parcell's will now make filling line needs a priority in the four rounds. They need a OT and G and he plan to address these needs. He doesn't want to forfeit any draft picks that may effect his ability to obtain the players he covets. So who do they want?
Jacob Rogers or Kelly Butler at OT
Cris Snee or Sean Locklear at G
Parcell's believes both of these players have the ability to be instant starters.
So what happens to Dillon? Interestingly enough I spoke with Charlie Weis today who informed me that the Patriots are back in the hunt for Dillon.
On a side not Charlie said nothing has been decided regarding Ty Law.

Cleveland has placed and emphasis on talkign with the Chargers to trade up to #1. Northcutt is included in potential trade offers I called coach Schottenheimer today who elaborated that they are so far impressed with Cleveland's initial offer. No decision will be made unti the draft though according to coach.

Arizona's top 5 draft board in order:
L. Fitzgerald
S. Taylor
Eli Manning
Tommie Harris
Robert Gallery

NY Giants top 5 draft board:
Robert Gallery
Eli Manning
Ben Roehtlisberger
Sean Taylor
Roy Williams

I will post additional draft boards soon.

I as well as my colleagues are responsible for forcasting the first round of the draft. This allows us to assist teams in scenario planning. Thsi is extremely beneficial when teams are interested in trading for a particlular player. Our list is the result of numerous conversations with team officials and fellow consultants. The key in compiling this list is not to expose team secrets and strategy. Our lists has been subnitted so I will share it with you in my next post. You as well as others will refer to this as a mock draft. The only difference is this list is based on team comments and actions to date. Enjoy and I welcome your comments.

If this guy turns out to be legit, and teams don't clam up because information is being leaked that they'd like kept from the public, this is going to take all the suspense out of it. How soon before some national media guy latches on to this and it ends up on ESPN?

[L.A. Playa]

How legit can it be no Mike Williams in the 1st round????

[justasportsfan]

SD for Big Ben? If legit all this SD talk wanting Rivers is a smokescreen . They want Ben over Rivers.Hmmm.

I think it's all just a team's "wish list" - If Mike W is there, someone will take him

[Dozerdog]

Plus, teams might not be including him pending the outcome of the lawsuit......

[DraftBoy]

Well this does match the other thread saying the G-men would take Gallery if they got the #1 pick.

RIVERS TO STEELERS OR BILLS?

Another rumor making the rounds is that N.C. State quarterback Philip Rivers will be selected within the first thirteen picks.



A league source tells us that Rivers will go to the Steelers at No. 11 or to the Bills at No. 13.

Is the master of the obvious at it again?

river to buffalo.. mikey, do you like the sound of that?

:snicker2:

[mypoorfriendme]

like tonk and i agreed on before, the lions and steelers are determing whos available at 13, if lions go RB and the steelers go DB, were in GREAT shape.

also, if the chargers have all the qbs ranked the same, i could easily see them trading down to anywhere before 11 to ensure they can atleast get rivers if they do want to go QB
