BuffaloBilliever Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 1. Mario Williams DE - Supposed to be a huge impact on the team. Texans are horrid in the Defensive area. 2006 bust. 2. Reggie Bush RB - Supposed to be #1 draft pick, and so far proving his worth in 2006. Will be phenomenal. 3. Vince Young QB - 6-4 since becoming starter, and the sole reason for 4th qtr. combacks. A soon to be great. 4. D'Brickashaw Freguson OT - Aaron Schobel made him his b*#(h. But he's fairly decent. 5. A.J. Hawk LB - 108 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 1 int, 1 FF, 2 FR. I'd say he's doing well... 6. Vernon Davis TE - Haven't heard his name much around, but if I'm not mistaken then he's been injured quite some time. He's a tank, so I call him no bust. 7. Michael Huff S - Picked over Donte, but not what he was projected to be. Decent starter. 8. Donte Whitner S - OMFG WHAT A BUST WHY'D THE BILLS PICK HIM HES SUCH A JOKE UNPROJECTED! Oh wait, 73 tackles and a pick, while doing so on a rookie defense. Definitley not a bust, and the Simpson/Whitner combo will soon be pheared. 9. Ernie Sims LB - A great pick up by the Lions, but not much else for the guy. 10. Matt Leinart QB - #1 rookie QB stat-wise, he'll do well in Arizona 11. Jay Cutler - High rating, but is edgy and will probably turn out like his mentor. 12. Haloti Gnata DT - Why'd we pass on this guy!? Oh yeah... Kyle Williams and Larry Tripplett. He's doing decent in Raven country. 13. Kamerion Wimbley LB - A starter already in Browntown, he's a great kid and has a nose for the ball. 14. Broderick Bunkley DT - Hahahahaha... 15. Tye Hill CB - 3 picks, he's good incoverage as a nickel guy and could soon move up to a #2 role. 16. Jason Allen DB - Recovering from an injury, but showing nothing so far. 17. Chad Greenway LB - Injured. 18. Bobby Carpenter LB - Another injured player, only 9 tackles on the year, no much else to say. 19. Antonio Cromartie CB - A phenomenal kick returner and does well in the nickel spot. 20. Tamba Hali DE - Doing very, very, very well for the Kansas City Chiefs. Will do well in the future, maybe the Texans sould've grabbed this... 21. Lawrence Maroney RB - Excellent running back for the Pats. Will fill in well when Dillon is gone. 22. Manny Lawson LB - Doing pretty well in SF. 2 sacks and an int. on the year. 23. Davin Joseph G - O-line. 24. Jonathon Joseph CB - Did well against the Raiders, but... it's the Raiders. Not sure on this guy. 25. Santonio Holmes WR - A bust at returning kicks and punts, but is doing well as a Wide Reciever. 26. John McCargo DT - Injured... 27. DeAngelo Williams RB - Will be great for the Panthers, pulls a one-two punch with DeShaun Foster. 28. Mercedes Lewis TE - Is huge, should do well 29. Nick Mangold C - Starting. 30. Joseph Addai RB - If not for Kerry Rhodes, this guy might be higher than Maurice and Regginald. 31. Kelly Jennings CB - Fairly well, another nickel/dime package guy. 32. Mathias Kiwanauka DE - When Mikey is gone, this guy'll wreak havoc with Osi on the Gigantic D-Line. Surprisingly the bigger impact players came in later rounds (Ryans, Colston, Jones, etc.) But we'll get to them next post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoho Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Surprisingly the bigger impact players came in later rounds (Ryans, Colston, Jones, etc.) But we'll get to them next post. 864965[/snapback] It is not surprising at all. It happens every year. Anyone who thinks they can accurately project college performance into pro success is either very young, delusional or Mel Kiper. Mike Williams was drafted as the 4th player, Jason Peters was undrafted. This is after years of scouting by professional scouts. Good luck reading your draft guide.

Pass the Pipe Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Your comments on Nick Mangold are a little light; the guy is nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBilliever Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 he is fairly beastly. He's held off some big guys from getting to the statue in the pocket (Pennington) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Sorry but I went to BC and #32 Kiwanuka is going to be a total f*cking bust -- you are already seeing shades of it the past 3 weeks -- 2 bonehead plays 2 consecutive weeks. Sure he has got the physicality, but he has NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP upstairs. He is goddamn stupid for a defensive lineman, and that is saying something.

stuckincincy Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 24. Jonathon Joseph CB - Did well against the Raiders, but... it's the Raiders. Not sure on this guy. 864965[/snapback] He's got excellent speed and decent coverage. Hands are a question mark...he's missed a number of int chances. He's played in all games - subbing here and then for Tory James or in the nickel, but has I think 3 starts, and something like 2 complete games. Once in place of Tory James, and twice in place of Delthea O'Neal (injury, and Lewis made him inactive last game because of his DUI). Here's his numbers, compared to Nate. Clements: 63 total tackles / 49 solo / 13 assists / 13 passes defended Joseph: 40 / 32 / 8 / 17 He's James' replacement for next season IMO.
