That's probably a bit too clever for the Cowboys to think of.... Do you think they monitor 2BD for hidden advice?

I heard Hawk could play any LB position...can't remember if the source was reliable or not but....I don't think if he fell to us we could afford to let him go.

Hey, until it doesn't happen, nobody can tell you otherwise. GO BILLS!!

You wouldn't have been saying that at the end of '04. Also unfair on the Special teams unit (all 4 areas) On top of all 4 areas, I think having a team of solid players/athletes with a handful of playmakers is also essential. When was the last time the Superbowl was won without playmakers?

I hear ya.

& you peed your pants with jealousy.

How often do you scan through the previous pages? I'm sure some people are not on every day & to them this is new & they are happy to read & contribute. Either way(bringing an old thread up or starting a new one) you get to see it at the top...no difference. I just don't get your problem with this. You do realize that if you stopped making the point that this thread should not have been made in the first place, it would eventually be on the next page & out of sight.

UConn is a gnat gnawed, uninspiringly, unintelligent, nose hair pullingly excruciatingly boring bottom burp of an excuse for a man who if his brains were to explode, wouldn't even ruffle his hair.

If only this guy would enlighten us more often. 145 post in nearly 4 years...just think of the contribution to the collective intellegence...

Geez, give the guy a break...Obviously with the responses some people still want to discuss this(& not go through the older threads) If you don't want to read it, IGNORE it. What does it hurt you if this thread is there?

Trade down in the first.

Sure defifbitely! As everyone knows, in ancient times, the food tasters for kings & emperors would bite into the suspect food five times. If they didn't drop dead, it was considered a sure thing to eat. The fifth bite makes it certain. Or in Italian...Da fif bite Dafifbitely=Certainly

Um...that's 3 Best scenarios Re #2: I think there is a high likelyhood of this. Assuming D'Brick & AJ are gone, Huff most likely will be there at #8.

I agree. You normally don't draft TE's that high but how many before have had the same attributes as VD? If he is a freak of nature, it's only natural he will go higher than TE's normally go.

Um...I don't want to be too negative but...(gee that sort of statement usually is followed by something really, really negative ) I don't get your criteria... Davis, D'brick, Huff...even Justice & Bunkley are widely considered to be Top 10 but Mangold???? Justice has maturity & character issues ....from Scout Inc... I don't personally know enough about the later draft candidates but....

Ditto!

Hawk

We do need DT but IMO neither is worth picking at the #8 spot. Since there is no trade down option I vote VD (I'd even prefer Huff over Lazy/potential & Surprise/I'm good--at #8). There are other qualitiy DTs in this draft & I really don't want us to waste this pick. Linky straight there: http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/story?id=2406023

I just don't understand how these players shoot up the draft boards when scouts have had several years to assess them & watch them play. Latest Scout Inc. assessment.... John McCargo DT | (6'1", 302, 5.19) | NORTH CAROLINA ST Scouts Grade: 75 Strengths: He's a one-gap penetrating type of defensive tackle prospect. He will fit best as a three-technique in the NFL. He shows very good initial burst out of his stance. Fires out low and with good initial power. He shows the consistent ability to penetrate and does a decent job of finding the ball once he gets through the line of scrimmage. He has good speed and overall mobility for his position. Can change directions and will pursue from behind. He is disruptive versus the run and pass. Has upside as a pass rusher if he can improve his ability to use his hands and get off of blocks. He is an intelligent and hard-working player. Was a good student in college and shows a lot of maturity for his age. Weaknesses: He is undersized. He lacks ideal height and possesses marginal bulk. He plays with a narrow base and does not show the ability to anchor versus the run. He will get pushed around by bigger linemen that lock onto his body and he struggles to hold his ground when teams run at him. He has good penetrating skills versus the run but needs to improve his array of pass rush moves in order to contribute in that facet in the NFL. He gets a lot of pressure on quarterbacks because of his ability to penetrate quickly, but he does not show ideal closing burst to finish. Durability is also a concern after missing final five regular-season games due to stress fracture to left foot suffered vs. Wake Forest. The injury required surgery and several weeks of rehabilitation. Overall: McCargo redshirted in 2002 before taking over as a fulltime starter in 2003, when he started all 13 games at DT and finished with 52 total tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 16 QB pressures and three sacks. He was an Academic All-ACC in 2004, when he started 10 of the 11 games he played and finished with 47 tackles, five TFL and 12 QB pressures. McCargo started all six games that he played in as a junior in 2005 but missed five others due to a stress fracture injury to his left foot that required surgery. Despite missing nearly half of the season, he still finished with 35 tackles, 10 TFL, seven QB pressures and one sack in 2005. McCargo was a surprise addition to the early-entry crop in this year's draft. He was completely overshadowed playing on an N.C. State defensive line that included the likes of Mario Williams and Manny Lawson. While McCargo is nowhere near the same caliber player, he was an impact starter in his own right when healthy. McCargo lacks ideal size and will never be able to consistently hold his ground versus the run. However, he has some upside for teams employing a one-gap, up-the-field type of defensive line scheme. McCargo returned to play in the season-finale as a junior, which helped to ease concerns regarding his foot injury. In our opinion, McCargo warrants consideration late on Day 1 of the 2006 draft.

BlueFire Vince Young

1) I agree 2) Huh? From what I see, most think Marv is either doing a terrible job or are wisely giving him the benefit of the doubt & will wait to see what happens. I don't think I've read a Marv can do no wrong post. ....personally, I'm waiting to see how we go before I make up my mind.... Same with JP.

Bluefire Vince Young

Fairly predictable...unless something unpredictable happens Predictable perhaps because there is a larger number of very highly rated players than usual Ngata IMO is not one of them though.

He won't play on a Saturday....he was a Jew remember. He can suit up any Sunday you like.

IN THE 2006 DRAFT, I DON'T WANT THE BILLS TO DRAFT... Haloti Ngata.....fat & lazy & doesn't fit system Brodrick Bunkley....Workout warrior, wasn't a high 1st until recently Winston Justice....is a RT & I want us to pick a LT(don't want to gamble that he can switch) Trade Up....will cost too much in this deep draft. Anyone who's name isn't Reggie Bush, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Mario Williams, AJ Hawk, Vernon Davis or Michael Huff at the #8 pick.(If none are available, trade down) Who don't you want them to draft?
