Believe me, if this happens....I might go out and streak around campus.

i doubt mesean jackson drops that far, but let us hope.

i think jonathan stewart goes higher.

Raiders just resigned Justin Fargas who they like a lot. Chances are they won't pick up McFadden. Look for them to go Ellis or Dorsey here.

No matter how fast Chris Johnson ran, he's not goin 1st round at RB.

damn, i didnt even notice that. another L for this list unfortunately.

Felix Jones was the better prospect than Johnson from day 1. everybody already knew Johnson was fast as hell, it's not like his fast 40 all of a suddencatapulted him ahead of Felix into the first round

I tried to think outside of the box a little bit with this draft.. b/c the draft is so unpredictable.. and you can say that the picks are off but the draftjust works in a wierd way... I will change it again.. I got dorsey dropping b/c of injury concerns.. and until he proves otherwise at his pro day I think hewill drop a bit.. desean jackson does have a good chance of dropping bc he went from 6'0 180 (what cal listed him as) to 5'9 169.. and I know theSeahawks are very interested in Chris Johnson and with that 40.. they probably would have no choice to pick him in the 1st bc he wont last until their 2nd rdpick.. think Matt Jones.. who was nothing better then a 2nd rd pick at the very least but the jags had to pick him bc they thought he wouldnt last... buthonestly I think Chris Johnson is pretty polished and can have a impact as a rook.. more of a impact than felix jones would have

And what does having Justin Fargas resigned mean? Its a 2 RB league.. rhodes and jordan are gone.. and bush is unproven
 
Still better than Sporting News....I think this draft will have a lot more surprises than some expect. I do see Glenn Dorsey falling though. Simply becausehe's still not 100% healthy. Back problems don't heal easily. GM's may get cold feet with him. Not sure how far he slips, but his stock has fallena bit since the combine for sure.
 
11 Bills- Mike Jenkins (CB, South Florida) like the pick dont love it tho we need a DE/DT first imo

Not even close. For the mere fact that Ryan Clady is not in his Top 10 and Gholston is in the first round.

I could see Dorsey dropping (but not below Sed) as of now but after his Pro Day he should bring his name way up the list again. Connor at 10 is a reach but theSaints desperately need a MLB. I think the Cards and Texans picks will flip. I also think the Bills could go for a WR like Kelly or Sweed. I also have no cluewhat will happen if SEA is sitting there with no Stewart or Mendenhall. They will be screwed.
