Failed Bridge

He's on IR. He won't be a factor at all

I buy the DVD sets. I can't watch any series on TV now that they sell them on DVD. I can't stand all the stupid comercials.

I imagine they would

That sums up my feelings on reading this. I have to say that this is the first death since the Owen Hart thing that truly shocks me, as I thought he had gotten his life under control.

First off I'm not going to predict playoff winners or final season records. This draft order is simply by the win/loss records of the teams as it stands at this point of the season. I also will not be looking into possible trades that involve other teams moving up or down. 1.) Houston - D'Brickashaw Ferguson - OT, Virginia: This pick could very well be traded down a few spots if Houston winds up with the first overall pick. That being said they don't want to drop too far because this is their man. After seeing glimpses of promise from David Carr they need to know he'll be fine if they get him an O-Line to protect him. He's once again the most sacked QB in the league and this pick immediately helps end that. A Walter Jones type tackle with alot of upside. Houston just can't pass on him with their O-Line troubles. 2.) Green Bay - Reggie Bush - RB, USC: The Packers have their QB of the future and with Ahmad Green looking at free agency and being an injury risk you go for the RB of the future. It will take some time to adjust to the frigid air of Green Bay after playing in the hot sun of Southern Cali for so long, but Reggie will do fine wherever he goes. 3.) New Orleans - Haloti Ngata - DT, Oregon: The Saints are 29th against the run and 5th against the pass in the NFL. When you have a back with the talent of Deuce you need to be the one grinding down the clock with the run. Ngata is an absolute beast at his position and eats up blockers as if they were nothing. Paired up with Johnathan Sullivan on the inside and having Charles Grant and Will Smith on the ends gives New Orleans a top 10 D-Line. 4.) Tenn - Matt Leinart - QB, USC: Tenn is still trying to build themselves back up from the depths of salary cap hell. With this being Steve McNair's last season there most likely and Norm Chow now being the OC this pick becomes a no-brainer. Don't expect Leinart to realistically be there at #4 since there will be a bidding war for his services, but if he's there then Tenn grabs him. Volek might then be traded for additional picks (to a team like The Jets?) 5.) San Fran - Jimmy Williams - CB, Virginia Tech: The 49ers are the worst team against the pass in the league. There's really nothing else that needs to be said. 6.) Arizona - Mario Williams - DE, North Carolina St.: I'd be shocked to see this player still around for the 6th pick, but if he is then Arizona will snatch him up. He's been compared to Julius Peppers and has all the talent in the world to back that up. Arizona desperately needs a pass rusher and they get him here. 7.) NY Jets - Vernon Davis - TE, Maryland: There won't be a QB worth taking at this spot since Leinart will be long gone and Vince Young said he's going back for his senior season (even if he didn't one would think Arizona would take him one pick earlier) so the Jets finally get a TE that can actually help them. If its Chad Pennington or somebody else at QB, they'll be happy to have this option running over the middle for them. 8.) Baltimore - Marcus McNeill - OT, Auburn: Oh how Baltimore would love a QB here as well, but there isn't going to be one. With Ogden getting noticabley slower and Orlando Brown being a big lump of shit; enter Marcus McNeill. He's built almost exactly like a young Ogden (1 inch shorter and 5lbs heavier) and he also brings great skill at run blocking where he helped boost Ronnie Brown and Carnell Williams from the backfield every week for a couple years. If Baltimore can't get their QB of the future they might as well get somebody who can help keep Jamal Lewis running for big yards. 9.) Oakland - A.J. Hawk - OLB, Ohio St: After trying the 3-4 for one season the Raiders were told by Al Davis to go back to the 4-3. The only problem with that is that they did not have the LBs to do so. You can't have 260lb+ outside LBers in the 4-3, so they grab themselves an OLB that does fit in. A.J. Hawk is possibly one of the best LBers coming out of this draft and while the Raiders could use a better RB I don't see them taking one here with all the money they invested in Lamont Jordan this past off-season. 10.) Cleveland - Mathias Kiwanuka - De, Boston College: There's been alot of talk about the Browns drafting a RB with their first round pick, but both Romeo Crennell and Phil Savage are defensive minded guys. Kiwanuka has been compared to Jevon Kearse by many scouts and with the Browns dropping their whole D-Line to Denver there's obviously a need for a DE, nevermind one compared to Kearse. Look for Romeo and Phil to shore up the defense here and possibly look at a RB in round 2 or 3.

LT is just a freak of nature and a football god. Priest Holmes was good but not durable and the Chiefs now rely on a bigger back in Larry Johnson.

Critics hate Bush and he gets to keep his job. Critics love Arrested Development and its on the brink of being canceled. I hate this world.

The man on my TV was wrong. It was his 4th this season, but first since the USC game.

Its what the man on my TV said.

Brady Quinn throws his first INT of the season.

yes, but the players at South Carolina had Lou Holtz coaching them before he moved on. The Gators players had Ron Zook coaching them. I think its safe to say the South Carolina players were better coached before the new coaches came on-board. Gators players are still learning to break bad habits while picking up Meyer's system. Spurrier just has to worry about keeping his team out of fights and legal trouble *L*

this is far worse than anything I ever came up with

They might want to wait until Urban Meyer brings in his recruiting class before complaining. He's still basicaly working with Zook recruits.

Brian Calhoun is a good back, but not worth a first rounder and you can guarentee another back will be drafted in the first round after Bush. Anyways, picks 21-25 are up.

some other network will pick it up (NBC most likely due to the show's ties with Larry David). Fox doesn't know what quality TV is anymore and that's why they're at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the major stations.

I expect more from the President than I do of your run-of-the-mill politician though.

There's my favorite FSU reciever dropping a pass. I really hope the Pats draft him one day so we can look on the bench and see a Gay-Fagg duo.

The next time Bush does something positive for this country will be the first time.

The FSU/Clemson game makes me wonder even more what the hell is up with BC and the ACC overall. The Eagles can beat Clemson on the road but get demolished in the last 6 minutes against FSU at home after leading for much of it. Now Clemson is rocking FSU at home.

FSU/Clemson is on right now on ESPN. Clemson is just doing whatever it wants to at the moment on the offensive side of the ball.

Like Bored said there's a good chance of a Louisville/Florida St Gator Bowl. Some other teams Louisville might be looking at are Boston College, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Cal, and Arizona St in a lesser bowl game. I don't see Virginia Tech being involved with Louisville.

Weight issues aside I just don't find him too impressive. There are backs his size, but not many very good ones. Michael Bennett comes to mind when I think of DeAngelo Williams.

Texas Tech @ Oklahoma St is going to be a great game. I hope somebody on regular TV decides to pick it up.

http://www.fftoolbox.com/ I use it to check updated player profiles and when certain players are elligible (always minus a year from the one they say (since they have everybody leaving as a senior) to find the elligibility) for the draft.

He might not rack up the yards but defenses take him serious when he does come out of the backfield. Maroney's going to limit your options there. I think the Jets would be best served grabbing Mike Bell in round 2 or taking a flyer till next year when there are going to be quite a few stud RBs. If LenDale White comes out early then they'd grab him, but as of right now from the things I've read he's leaning towards staying for his senior year. Williams came into the season weighing 217. He's at 205 at the moment according to an updated prospect site I hit up.
