I have only been 2-6 with my mock.

I always love when the NFL scouts get holier than thou around draft time and start looking to tear apart blue chippers. I'll take a "wait and see" approach on DJ. The guy got the job done against major college competition and was impressive.................until around draft day, that is. So be it. I could be wrong and he could be a bust, or DJ could become another Randy Moss or Warren Sapp type player that will make plenty of teams sorry that they doubted him.

May be true but Sapp and Moss had off the field problems which is why they fell.

You got my pick right just with the wrong pick. O'Canada got the pick right for me.

[R. Rich]

Nice pick in Johnson, I dont think you could have gone wrong with him or Ware.

Ware was a bit too one dimensional for me, @ least for the time being. Like I said, I had DJ as the top defensive player on my board. Ware was strongly considered, but in the end, I decided to stay true to my board.

Moving right along, the big 3 RB's are gone now.

To be honest Rich I wasn't high on him.... now, I did like him more than Merriman. And I thought it was overblown with all the finesse talk. The guy was a top top player and then at draft time he drops... makes no sense. Like I said, i wasn'tthat high onhim to begin with personally, but I don't see him being a "bust" at all. At worst he becomes as cery solid LB if not spectacular. He'll be a quality starter for a long time without a doubt.... it's just whether he can make the jump from solid starter to dominant LB that i wonder about.

[Sportsuser101]

Not sure who to pick! Didn't expect all these guys on my list to still be here.

...which is why I'm going to "wait and see" regarding DJ. Time will tell, fellas.

OOOPS...

I missed one... Boomer hat back on.

Troy Williamson.... played in an offense in college that didn't throw much at all. Everyone was pretty surprised when the Vikes passed on BMW to take him. But he has elite speed, great size and hands and will be Randy Moss's replacement. I honestly don't know. He needs a LOT of polish but his phycal tools are incredible. Classic boom or bust WR. he could be ULTRA ELITE or he could be a BUST. he's a risky pick but one that could pay HUGE dividends.

Ronnie Brown... my top rated RB.... has it all. blazing speed... great size... fantastic hands as a reciever... We are going to hate this guy forever. I'd really rather face Ricky Williams twice a year than him.

this says it all:

[Canadian'eh!]

Antrell Rolle... was my top rated CB. some feel he is more of a FS than a CB but i disagree. He's like a better Winfield. A bit smallish but makes up for it with great physical skills and savvy. hard hitter who is great in run support. Unlike WInfield he has very good hands and will jump route to pick off passes. Has game breaking ability. He comes from a very good family (no relation to samari) and while he had 1 small legal run in it was really an isolated incident and i would not expect him to have the same sort of probelms other UofM players have beenhaving.

nic pick at CB Jags :)

Thanks.

It was a complitcated morning for the Retro Raiders, They had there eyes set on Cedrick Benson, thinking Ronnie Brown would be gone, but Brown it is. I had this guy on top of my list because of his great hands. We hope to have one of the best passing games in the league, and he adds that extra element. This levels out my offense more, with productive yards from Brown, play-action will keep defenses unsure of what were bringing.

[Devin]

I am a little surprised you went O, as I thought for sure youd go D. But either way with a pick like Brown its hard to go wrong.

Goldmines really could have used a QB was a little surprised they went WR.

[RetroRaiders81]

Thank god you showed up Devin, I sent a list to you and EB, and Eb took off.
