Gary Kubiak is saying that he believes that Davis Carr can become a solid QB and the owner Bob McNair concurs (gbnreport). This makes me believe that Houston will not take a QB whatsoever. Now this is not earth shattering by any means......but what is, is that they imply that they don't need any more "weapons" to surround Carr with (eg. they don't need Reggie Bush). This might be one of the classic "smokescreens", but when you consider that Dominic Davis was extended for big bucks earlier, one has to wonder if Bush is reallly in their thinking either.
I can see the Texans trading down with the Jets for an additional later day 1 pick. New York need a running back and a QB (I don't think that Pennington has a long term future as their QB). I can see them taking Bush and Houston taking D'Brickashaw Ferguson at #4.
New Orleans definitely need a QB as they are likely to jettison Aaron Brooks. Even with all the recent Cutler hype, I can't see him going ahead of Leinart.
If (and I have no real idea), Cutler is "for real" and he has both a super Senior Bowl and a combine, I'd look for him to go ahead of Vince Young to Tennessee. He's somewhat of a "local" boy having played at Vanderbilt. Jeff Fisher is as close to being able to assess him as anyone as he has had a "front and center seat" during this week's practices.
There is a lot of talk around that GB need a running back, what with Ahmad Green's "health" being questionable going forward. Do they grab DeAngelo Williams at #5........I'm inclined to say no. They can get by on RB by committee if they have to until next year when there are a few really good RB's (Adrian Peterson and Michael Bush to name but two. They need defensive help in a really big way.....and someone like AJ Hawk as a OLB fits.
Here is where it gets interesting. Oakland and Kerry Collins are finished. Is Andrew Walter really their QB of the future? Not in my mind. Al Davis is known to love the Daunte Culpepper type QB. Here is where I see Vince Young landing.
By all accounts, SF are going to part ways with Julien Petersen. But they also need a WR. Unfortunately, there isn't one worthy of the #7 overall pick, but they could justify looking at a TE at this point for an offensive threat. My guess is that it will come down to Chad Greenway or Vernon Davis. I give the nod to Greenway.
At #8, Buffalo need a TE (Mark Cambell has knee issues), a DT (how long can Sam Adams continue on) and a FS (Troy Vincent replacement). With Vernon Davis, Losman gets another offensive threat. This is my guess. DT's and FS's are available in round 2, but all the good TE's will be long gone.
Ah.....Detroit at #9. All of the three marquee QB's are off the board. They are said to be interested in Josh McCown and they will as a result probably go with a FA to challenge Harrington and Garcia. They also need a DT as Dan Wilkinson's career is over. Shaun Rogers is a pro bowl NT, but they deploy a defensive front four that leans on two huge linemen. Gabe Watson is the local boy, but would be a huge reach here.....not so with Haloti Ngata.
And now we come to our beloved Cardinals: LenDale White (RB), Jimmy Williams (CB/FS), Michael Huff (FS) or an OL. I think that round 2 will offer up some real gems on the O-Line. I just think that Winston Justice is too much of an enigma to pick at #10, Eric Winston has an injury history (and I like Davis as our LT) and Marcus McNeill, while a solid medium term pro bowl talent at RT, doesn't represent as the BPA.. I've always been a real fan of Jimmy Williams, but as a FS, which is what Michael Huff is. Both would look real good along side of Adrain Wilson and Williams gives us depth at CB in the event that either Rolle, Green, Macklin go down.
But my preference is for Lendale White. I'm not a fan of DeAngelo Williams (yes he'll be good, but not better than White). Imagine a revamped O-Line (either through repositioning, the FA and better coaching) and offensive threats such as White/Arrington, Boldin/Fitzgerald/Johnson to contend with. These pieces of an offense would scare the daylights out of everyone.
