Pick #8 comes around and these guys are available...who do you take?

Considering no big trades or FA's have been signed.

 

[clif]

ronnie brown

 

[Pariah]

I voted for Rolle, though in truth, I'd be ecstatic about Rolle, Brown or Johnson, and probably okay with Miller.

 

[D-Dogg]

This is the first time I've voted anyone over Rolle, but I'd be ecstatic to have either Ronnie Brown or Rolle. But my wagon is firmly hitched now (and I don't think Rolle will make it to 8; I think there is a chance that Brown might.

 

[Stout]

I went Brown, but could easily have gone with Rolle.

 

[abomb]

Put me down for Rolle, but Brown is teh hotness too.

A-Bomb

 

[arthurracoon]

Brown, Johnson, or Rolle. I'd be happy with any of them, although I'd prefer either Brown or Rolle, before I would take Johnson.

I can't decide!

 

[black]

Johnson. Ronnie Brown scares me at a #1 pick, and I'm sure I'm not alone. There are no QB's in the poll so I'll go with the most solid pick IMO.


I guess I'm too 'ol school, but a TE or CB should not ever go #1. Not unless your're Deion Sanders or Tony Gonzo.

 

[DieHardFromMO]

I select Derrick Johnson.

I sign Ken Lucas and Lamont Jordan so don't need to draft a RB or CB.

 

[D-Dogg]

Pretty interesting split so far; I'd love to have either of those guys.

 

[Renz]

I select Derrick Johnson.

I sign Ken Lucas and Lamont Jordan so don't need to draft a RB or CB.

Works for me.

 

[Lagerfilled]

Ronnie Brown everyday of the week, and 25 times on Sunday!

 

[dogpoo32]

Flipped a coin between Rolle and Johnson. Johnson won so I picked Rolle

 

[az jam]

I picked Brown only because I believe that if he is there Denny will take him.
However, I would not be disappointed with either Rolle or Johnson.

I also don't think Rolle makes it to 8. My top choice is still Derrick Johnson.

That works for me.

I picked Rolle because I don't believe that Brown will be there when the Cards pick. He has that "workout warrior" look that will shoot him ahead of Cadillac and Benson.

 

[The Commish]

I don't like the thought of drafting a RB with out 1st pick. We've gotten burned too many times by drafting a "stud" RB outta college #1. I'd much rather draft Rolle or Johnson because they seem like a sure thing.

 

[joeshmo]

D. Johnson is easily the best player in the whole draft, and a huge upgrade over Darling, how can you not pick him.

I think Cadillac may come out on top of this RB race. He is so motivated that he is even playing in the senior bowl, a place 1st rounders just dont play in.

 

[ajcardfan]

Hopefully, we've gotten a RB, DT and/or CB in free agency. My pick is Derrick Johnson too. Another playmaker at LB could push our D up to the top ten next year. Then, we'd have three young studs at LB, Hayes, Dansby and Johnson and we'd be looking good for the next couple of years at that position.

That's my feeling too joe. By the time the draft gets here, GMs will be thinking, "How can we pick the backup over the starter?" I just don't think a guy who didn't start last year will go top ten. No matter how good the guy was he backed up.

Can anybody recall a player in a similar spot as Brown who got drafted ahead of the guy he backed up in the first round? Brown is far from a typical backup, he started for a year when Williams was hurt. But he is kind of uncharted territory for the NFL draft.

Ronnie Brown is simply the better NFL back. His running style is far more suited to the NFL than Cadillac's, but the college and NFL games are very different.

It was telling that Denny mentioned Ronnie Brown and Benson in his interview today on the radio.

Brown looks like a perfect fit for this team, from every direction I look at him.

He could very well be. I just doubt he gets drafted ahead of Cadillac.
