This is how I see this years draft playing out, at least the first 11 picks.

1. Houston: Reggie Bush - Best player on the board, and a guy that David Carr will be able to share concussion stories with as they still have no O-Line to slow down teams from running unabated into the backfield.

2. New Orleans: D'Brickashaw Fergusson - With pickup of Brees, no need for a QB. Grant and Will Smith make Mario Williams a luxury they can't afford.

3. Tennessee: Vince Young - Chow want' Leinart; but, he doesn't get to make the pick. Jeff Fisher taps Vince for the Titans, who will see a lot of playing time this year behind "Duck-Tape" McNair.

4. NY Jets: Matt Leinart - Two small children are injured as the Jets bolt toward the podium to get their man without having to give up additional picks to move up.

5. Green Bay: A.J. Hawk - The kid belongs on the "Frozen Tundra". Too bad GB is heading for a decade as a cellar dweller in the NFC North.

6. San Francisco: Mario Williams - The first steal of the draft is getting Mario at 6. Williams will wreak havoc on the great offenses of the Cards, Rams, and Hawks. (Notice I listed the Cards first!!!)

7. Oakland: Vernon Davis - Al stays with offense and Vernon Davis is a rare offensive weapon that will keep the "Black Hole" happy for a long time.

8. Buffalo: Brodrick Bunkley - The Bills are still trying to replace Sam Adams and Pat Williams. Bringing in free agent Larry Tripplet was a start and Bunkley completes the task.

9. Detroit: Mike Huff - After Paul Tagliabue denies Detroit's first pick, stating an obscure rule that prohibits teams from drafting the same skill position four years in a row, the Lions resubmit their card with Mike Huff to help bail out their defense.

10. Arizona: Winston Justice - Disappointed that Vernon Davis is gone, the RedBirds look to continue improving an O-Line that cost the team 4-5 wins last year.

11. St. Louis: Jay Cutler - Without Martz around to keep protecting Marc Bulger, the new staff brings in their guy to spend the season training Cutler to become the next face of the organization.

I don't see any way Tenn drafts Young over Leinart, specially with Norm Chow on board there.

I agree. Young will not go before Leinart. And I even like Young more and I'll still say that...

Depending on who is still left, this would not surprise me at all. Marc
Bulger is not durable, Frerotte is 35, Fitz is unproven.

Finally, the voice of reason at number 2!
I'd been thinking that the Saints would be more interested in protecting a sizeable investment AND giving themselves a viable T tandem as well, especially considering that they've already got capable players on the D line.

Hm, D"Brick is the popular pick at this spot these days.

Young vs. Leinart

I heard that the coaches like Leinart and the GM, Floyd Reese, likes Young. It will be interesting, and it doesn't seem that anyone will move up in order to select a QB.

If it goes this way there will be at least one chnage ..IMO the Cards take Cutler. And of cousre I agree that its Lienart not Young at the top.

remeber last last season when the coaches liked antrel rolle, and the gm liked pac-man jones. we all know how that turned out. hopefully the gm wins again. they usually do.
