[Shane]

DRC is our pick.

No

 

[azsouthendzone]

Rogers-Cromartie

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

If RM is gone we better not reach for Felix JOnes. My computer may be thrown against the wall if that happens.

 

[bg7brd]

Detroit may trade out to some one who wants DRC.

 

[Billy Bob]

If Detroit takes Mendenhall, we need to go OL or trade down.

DRC

 

[Mulli]

Deion Sanders loves DRC.

 

[Southpaw]

Bears draft moronically. They will probably take Henne, when they need WR help and a real RB.

 

[NavyVet]

surprise pick at 16...Jeff Otah

 

[Mulli]

Bears draft moronically. They will probably take Henne, when they need WR help and a real RB.

I will pay you a dollar (ASFN) if the Bears don't go OL.

 

[Assface]

With Kevin Smith, Chris Johnson and Jamal Charles I think we have good RB options available in the 2nd round.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Do the Cards try and jump in front of Detroit?

 

[Dr. Jones]

DRC is our pick.

Him or RM...... I want DRC though. Bigger need.

 

[imaCafan]

Was just gonna pose that question. Get RM at 14, swap with Bears.....

 

[Goldfield]

I want Mendenhall, but he wont last I dont think.

 

[TruColor]

Watch...the Lions will pick Devin Thomas...

 

[Dr. Jones]

With Kevin Smith, Chris Johnson and Jamal Charles I think we have good RB options available in the 2nd round.

Strengths: Possesses a massive frame; is tall with good bulk, adequate arm length (33.5) and big hands (10). Displays very good overall mobility for his size, including quickness in his pass pro set. Does a very good job of using his long arms to ride pass rushers wide while he's still getting set. Displays great footwork and gets excellent hand placement. While he may not jar defenders at the point of contact, he can lock on and then sustain his blocks. He can engulf bigger defenders once he's in position and engaged. Displays versatility with experience at guard and tackle. He has been durable throughout his career.

Weaknesses: Still too much of a finesse player. Lacks explosive upper-body power. Does not jar defenders at the point of attack. Lacks the base and lower body power to drive defenders off the line of scrimmage in the run game.

Overall: Williams redshirted in 2003 and was ineligible in 2004, when he changed majors and didn't qualify to play football under Vanderbilt's stringent academic standards. In his first active season (2005), he appeared in 11 games and started the final nine at left guard, also taking game reps at left tackle. Williams moved to left tackle for good as a junior, starting all 24 games at the position over his final two seasons (2006-'07). Williams is a left tackle prospect with great feet but a bit too much finesse to his game at this point. He lacks ideal upper-body strength, which was confirmed in only 21 reps on the bench press. He also lacks ideal physicality. However, Williams possesses very good mobility for his big frame and he typically can overcome below-average strength by using excellent technique and positioning. Thanks to a productive senior season, followed by excellent showings at the Senior Bowl and combine; Williams has built tremendous momentum heading into the 2008 draft. He should be one of the top-five offensive linemen selected  likely in the middle of the first round.

 

[Dr. Jones]

My guess is Mendenhall is about to go.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

here we go.C'mon Detroit,Joe Flacco.

 

[Mulli]

Come on Millen, Felix Jones!

 

[Billy Bob]

The Cards are sitting pretty!

 

[Dr. Jones]

I hope they get Otah so the Cards can take the guy they want.
