USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Because Young hasn't officially declared for the draft yet. I don't even think he will anyways. He will return to Texas, I bet. Edited January 7, 2006 by Porter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 So theres two teams that don't need coaches no more. Vikings: Brad Childress Chiefs: Herman Edwards And also FFMS, why would the Saints take Leinart over Young? Young is proven to be a better playmaker, and will draw fans from all over North America to watch. Vince Young = $$$$$$$$$$$$ Because Leinart's skills are better suited for the NFL, and I don't think the Saints want another Aaron Brooks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 Has anyone else noticed this draft is filled with a lot of projects at the top of the board and the guys who seem very ready for the NFL are being projected lower like in the late first to early second round? Just the big names alone have flaws. Young (if he decides to come out): His mechanics are suspect for the NFL and he hasn't grasped the whole sliding thing yet Leinart: Seems VERY slow to get his head into games and has extremely limited mobility if any at all Bush: Question on whether or not he can be a 20-25 carry guy in the NFL, leaving him as basically a third down back or converted WR if he can't. Seems like all the top picks this year that have more major questions than I can remember in a draft class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 I don't think Leinart's mobility is that bad. He did a nice job getting out of the pocket against Texas, and escaping sacks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leelee Report post Posted January 7, 2006 Seems like all the top picks this year that have more major questions than I can remember in a draft class. I think in previous years when all sports networks weren't about hyping certain players... I doubt we'd even see players like Vince Young be thought of as Top 5 picks.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) Why don't the Saints give McPherson a shot? I thought he was on Arizona but then I checked and sure enough he is in New Orleans. He's like Brooks only much more accurate, stronger arm and decent speed. I think he'd be much better for them than going for Matt with the pick. They should go after A.J Hawk or another defensive player. Hell, a few offensive linemen couldn't hurt either. And don't the Raiders need a running back more than a quarterback? Granted they need both but maybe having a ground game to eat clock and keep the defensive line from getting winded by halftime would help them more. Just snag Cutler or Jacobs late and get a running back early. If Williams is still on the board, pick him. Edited January 7, 2006 by 2GOLD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted January 7, 2006 (edited) I don't really know why McPherson isn't getting a shot, which means that they think that Brooks, Leinart or Young is better for the job. Either way, they need Haloti Ngata more than anything. The Raiders fucked up by signing Lamont Jordan and their playcalling is and always has been atrocious.

Guest Leelee Report post Posted January 7, 2006 I hope the Bills or Cards take Cutler... I think he's a much better pro prospect than Leinart or Young. But, the Bills would almost certainly take Ngata if he falls to them at #8. Cards, who knows... they need help everywhere except WR. And it will be a guaranteed bust.

Failed Bridge 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2006 He's a good coach but by no means is he ready to become a head coach. This was his first season as defensive coordinator and their were rumors that Bill took the reings away from him at times due to his coverages getting killed. He might be a great coach one day but that day isn't any time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2006 These mock drafts on the web that have been predicting the Eagles going WR at #14 are idiotic. The again, they've predicting that for the past 2 years and they've been wrong too. I don't think Ngata will fall to them, so they might take DTs Orien Harris from Miami or Claude Wroten from LSU. I would love to see them grab Marcus McNeill if he's there because Tra Thomas is done and I don't think Runyan will be back next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree. Which is why I want him to go to the Titans, Steve McNair would be a perfect teacher for him.
