Post Your Draft Board

my draft board would start with any random fallers (though there's maybe a 1% of that happening).

that's freak drops for guys like curry, crabtree, monroe etc that won't actually happen.

after that I tend to believe RB, LBs, C, and most OGs are places where 2nd round picks will get you good starters at tiny contracts.

the 1st round is the best place to get franchise QBs, LTs, pass rushing DEs, and stud DTs. DTs are the safest bet, followed by OTs.

I wouldn't take mack, jerry, or lauranitis unless we trade down to the 20s at least.

at LB i like rey and lauranitis, though both are probably too slow to work the seem effectively in a cover 2 defense. I think lauranitis is a better value even if his upside is a little lower, since you could trade down and still get him.

at OL - any of the top tackles would be good, but I rather trade out of 13 for a pick (with say, the lions) if A smith was there. we need to come out with a guy to play now, and a higher bust % play at a spot we don't have a starter at is a bit risky.

trading into the second could get you a duke robinson, sean smith, or maybe even max unger (if he falls slightly).

at 13, the best picks would be oher or orakpo, followed by rey or trading down.

I don't think we're looking at RBs, this is a bad class for them, and we've got soo much money tied up in portis right now (and we can't cut him any time soon either). the problem last year was the OL, not portis. we'd be better off (imo) going oher (if he's there).

I can't believe I didn't see this. I'll go to thirty, unless I don't feel like stopping.

hey G, wouldn't another DT be overkill? rey over orakpo? mack at 12?

just asking ;).

i think i'd shy away a little from jenkins due to speed concerns, but i can see why raji (if he slips to us) would be a fairly easy take... i'd rather have crabtree if we're talking about crazy draft falls though.

Updated draft board complete with pretty colors. I've also divided the players up into tier's as I think taking a player purely because he's one number higher on a draft board is ascenine. So for example if Knowshon Moreno and Michael Johnson are available when we pick (a Bulldog and a Yellow Jacket) the advantage would go to what we need more.

Anyway I'd like to see more draft boards so lets go, get them up.

Do I have to do mine over with pretty colors?

You had time to update with pretty colors...but couldn't find the time to update your prediction of Evans to New Orleans...

Definitely not. I just had some time between classes.

A prediction I'm still standing by.

Saints | Evans signed
Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:52:08 -0800 Pat Yasinskas (http://www.kffl.com/link/128), of ESPN.com (http://www.kffl.com/link/9), reports the New Orleans Saints (http://www.kffl.com/team/25/nfl) have signed unrestricted free-agent FB Heath Evans (http://www.kffl.com/player/1690/nfl) (Patriots) to a two-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

My Draft board according to our needs

1. Aaron Curry OLB
2. Andre Smith T (he maybe stupid but he's young and the best all around T, IMO)
3. Jason Smith T (why behind the other smith, because this one has limited run blocking experience in college, Knee injuries)
4. BJ Raji DT (a huge force DT, reminds me a little of fat Albert Hayne$worth)
5. Brian Orakpo (very good pass rusher, that should stay at DE)
6. Michael Crabtree (Reminds me of Jerry Rice and TO in one, but TT offense and 40 time is a little bit of a question mark)
7. Eugene Monroe T (i'm a little cautious of this guy, I don't know y, but i am)
8. Aaron Maybin DE (very good pass rusher, but run defender, not really)
9. Knowshon Moreno RB (he'll be around when we pick, but the need for oline doesn't allow us to get him, plus i thought he ran a 4.3-4.4 fourty not a 4.6)
10. Michael Oher T (very good T who can play G, but gets sloppy, a little work with Buges and he'll be great)
11. Jeremy Maclin WR-RS (great speed guy like a steve smith but taller and hester fast, but he'll be gone by the time we pick, plus WR isnt an immediate need compard to other positions)
12. Rey Maualuga LB (is troy polamalu at LB, very very good LB with a few injury issues, definitley wouldnt mind us taking him at 13, and moving him to OLB for the year)
13.Larry English OLB-DE (looks a lot like Tsuggs, 2 time MAC defensive player of the year)
14.Robert Ayers DE (just started starting this year, and the DE's at Tennessee last year weren't that great, but he can definetly play)
15. Eben Britton T (very good pass protector, I don't see why we don't trade down and get him)
16. Tyson Jackson DE (is slow getting to QB but good run defender, basically a young philip Daniels)
17. Brian Cushing OLB (very good OLB, but gets injured a lot)
18. Clay Matthews LB DE? (just started playing this year, did decent when i saw him play, but not worth a first rounder to me at all)
19. Beanie Wells RB (isn't the kind of RB we need but is good, still wouldn't take him tho)
20 A. Alex Mack C (everyone loves this guy, and some say the best center in years)
20 B. Max Unger C/G/T (just a tad behind mack, only problem is that he never handed the ball to the QB, he always shotgun snapped it)
21. William Beatty T (he's alright, but ill pass on him, experts either say pretty damn good, or 2nd rounder)

The first post of the thread says draft at 13, so including the likes of Eugene Monroe, Aaron Curry, and others kinda defeat the purpose of the thread(Because they will be long gone by the time we pick).:confused:
