Updated draft positions.

[X-Era]

Heres the current draft standings, remaining schedules, my predictions for each game and final record.

1) Houston 2-12 Jax (L), @SF (W)- 3 and 13
2) SF 2-12 @ STL (L), @ Hou (L)- 2 and 14
3) GB 2-10 @ Bal (W), Chi (L), Sea (L) 3 and 13
4) NYJ 3-11 NE (L), Buff (W)- 4 and 12
5) NO 3-11 Det (L), TB (L)- 3 and 13
6a) Det 4-10 @ NO (W), @ Pit (L)- 5 and 11
6b) Ari 4-10, Phi (L), Ind (L)- 4 and 12
6c) Bal 4-9 GB (L), Minn (L), @ Cle (L)- 4 and 12
6d) Buff 4-10 Cin (L), @ NYJ (L)- 4 and 12
6e) Oak 4-10 @ Den (L), NYG (L)- 4 and 12
6f) Tenn 4-10 @ Mia (L), Jax (L)- 4 and 12

So, here is my projection on the draft lineup, tie breakers based on strength of schedule, and predicted pick:

1) SF- 2-14, wins tie breaker on SOS- .471- Reggie Bush
2) Hou- 2-14, SOS- .504- D.Brickshaw Ferguson
3) NO- 3 and 13, SOS .513- Matt Leinhart
4) GB- 3 and 13, .549- Mathias Kiwanuka or maybe AJ Hawk
5) Tenn- 4 and 12, SOS- .462- Deangelo Williams or
Lawrence Maroney
6) Buf- 4 and 12, SOS- .479- ONE of the following:
Haloti Ngata
Jimmy Williams
AJ Hawk
Mario Williams
Chad Greenway
Marcedes Lewis
Santonio Holmes
Either Deangelo Williams or Lawrence Maroney

7) Ari- 4 and 12, SOS- .512-
8) Oak- 4 and 12, SOS- .515-
9) Bal- 4 and 12, SOS- .531- ?
10) NYJ- 4 and 12, .533- Matt Leinhart
11) Det- 5 and 11, SOS- .526-

Scenarios:

I see us straight away ending at the 6th pick. Now its possible to go higher even, if NO or GB wins one more game. GB could beat Sea if the rest their starters or NO could beat Det next week which makes Det 4 and 12 but we still pick higher due to strength of schedule. NO also goes to 4 and 12 and drops to 8th (SOS), Det goes to 9th (SOS) and we go to 5th!!!

An interesting possibility is Leinhart dropping all the way to Tenn with the 4th pick. Even though they resigned Vol-Pelt they wont pass on Matt at that spot. But GB, Hou, and SF all have young prospects QB's, maybe Houston cans Carr but I cant see them doing that.

Root for NO next week.

It is possible that GB beats Bal and then beats their rival Chi AND NO beats Det AND Tenn beats their hated rival Jax. We then jump to the 3rd pick and have Leinhart looking at us at our pick. I would trade down for a kings ransom.

I see us taking Haloti Ngata. But Id love to grab Marcedes Lewis. We have bigger needs for sure, but both OT and DT should be addressed through FA first and both are deep enough to draft a good player a bit later. Lewis is a FREAK!!!

Buffalo is gonna finish 5-11. We will beat the Jets. The Jets will finish 3-13.

I dont see us beating the Jets. But I would like to see it. I just dont want the Jets to get either Bush or Leinhart

I don't want to see Buffalo lose but what good does it do to win the last game of the year.

Both teams have alot to lose for.

I doubt the Jets will get Bush, I think they'll go for Leinart.

Re: Updated draft positions.

Interesting but if Bills want to be immediately contenders we need the best DE available.

NFL.com is where I got my SOS and it shows a different picture.

Re: Updated draft positions.

We're fine at DE. We need a DT and offensive line. We also need a CB if especially if we don't resign Nate. We're probably going to need a WR too. With Everett for a full year we should be fine at TE. DT and offensive line are my 2 main concerns. Then CB and WR. With all this said if we're somehow in a spot to draft Reggie Bush I think we have to.

I wouldn't mind if we got Mathias Kiwanuka in the draft. But, I think we need a D-Tackle no matter what.

If both Kiwanuka and Ngata were available, who would you pick?

[ParanoidAndroid]

Re: Updated draft positions.

Ngata. No contest.

[Lexwhat]

Re: Updated draft positions.

Ngata. No contest.

How come? I actually dont know how either of them play and have never even seen them.

Are you saying that because of our needs on the D-Line? Or because Ngata is like the next Warren Sapp in his prime?

If that Kiwanuka is like a Bruce Smith/Julius Peppers type of player as I was just told, then Ngata would have to be like a Warren Sapp. I guess I would be happy with either.

[Sportsuser101]

Re: Updated draft positions.

Ngata is a monster. He is going to be a dominating DT at the next level. We can get away with Kelsay on the other side of Schobel but we need a big run stopper in there like Ngata. When he was coming out of high school they said he could go right to the NFL. Now that he's been in college for 3 years he is more then ready. He absolutely dominates games much more then the kid from BC. From what I hear he's 1 of the smarter players on the team.

Re: Updated draft positions.

If both Kiwanuka and Ngata were available, who would you pick?

Good question but I would say Haloti Ngata because he has an amazing size (6-5) low profile, and his rare combination of speed and power makes him the best DT prospect in years.

http://www.houstonprofootball.com/draft/prospects/ngatah.html

On the other side Kiwanuka is extremely tall to be DE (6-7) and IMO he will be a bust as a 1st round pick. Some experts say that he might move to OLB. In other words he is a TWEENER.
