Mile High Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Never heard of him, but I found this on his website. April 14th: Vanderbilt Quarterback Jay Cutler is a hot commodity will more than likely fail to break the top five overall, the Buffalo Bills have the 8th overall selection and are looking to trade down. The Minnesota Vikings might package up the 17th and 48th overall picks for the #8 selection and take Jay Cutler, who Brad Childress is facisnated with, and could see him fighting for the starting spot with Brad Johnson right away.

Astrobot Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The math is almost right on. 17th=950 pts. 48=420 pts 8th=1400 That said, I don't think we can get who we want at the 17th pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobot Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 But let's humor them, shall we? We now would have pick #17, 42, 48, 70, 73, 105, 134, and 143. Eight Top 150 picks. Here we go: 17. Chad Greenway, OLB, Iowa 42. Darnell Bing, S, USC or Ko Simpson, S,South Carolina 48. Davin Joseph, OG, Oklahoma 70. Andrew Whitworth, OT, LSU 73. Anthony Fasano, TE, Notre Dame 105. Babatunde Oshinowo, DT, Stanford 134. Pat Watkins, S, Florida St. 143. DeMario Minter, CB, Georgia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of DB's, WR's, LB's, & even RB's.... I'd rather have a Mangold than Greenaway ... so I'd look to trade down again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The 49'ers want Greenway. The Bills trade the 17th pick to the 49'ers at 22, obtaining their 84 as well. This nets us a better OT-OC pick. 22. Marcus McNeill, OT, Auburn or Nick Mangold, C, Ohio St. 42. Darnell Bing, S, USC or Ko Simpson, S,South Carolina 48. Davin Joseph, OG, Oklahoma 70. Elvis Dumervil, DE, Louisville 73. Anthony Fasano, TE, Notre Dame 105. Babatunde Oshinowo, DT, Stanford 134. Spencer Havner, OLB, UCLA 143. DeMario Minter, CB, Georgia Good thought.

Granted, I know nothing about Oshinowo, but can he fight for (and potentially win) a starting DT job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, I know nothing about Oshinowo, but can he fight for (and potentially win) a starting DT job? 669547[/snapback] Exactly... that's why I would rather look at DT no later than the 2nd AND add another in the 3rd or 4th. Oshinowo and Anderson could be the 2nd half of a rotation, with starters Tripplett and possibly WROTEN ....Ngata or Bunkley in the 1st would work as well for me. Bottom line, I think both Andersons are the current weakest of many weak spots among our starters & need to be replaced this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
