Who is your surprise 1st rounder?

[Cbus cardsfan]

Every year there is a guy(s) who get slected in round 1 that nobody thought would. The McCargo guy comes to mind.Same with Logan Mankins. Who do you think will sneak int o round 1 this year that is generally considered a 2nd round,or later, pick. I have two.

1-Brian Brohm- i can see him going to Tampa Bay. Gruden loves smart QB's that don't necessarily have a big arm. Brohm is that. Garcia is old and i doubt that Gruden thinks Like McCown, Gradkowski, or Simms is a long term answer. Plus,Brohm may have been the first QB taken if he came out last year.

2-Trevor Laws-there's nothing to dislike about this guy. He just keeps making plays from the DT position. He could be a little bigger but what difference does it make if you can't be blocked. I can see a late round 1 drafting team select him.

Surprise Pick

Cbus, I agree with Brohm. However, I see him going to Detroit. I'm hoping that Matt Millen comes through. His picks usually make the Draft a lot of fun. I expect Flacco or Henne to get selected in the first round as well, maybe to SF.

Good thread.

Maybe Laws and Chad Henne.

I think Calais Campbell will end up going higher than expected.

 

[stretchthefield]

Ray Rice to the Chargers

 

[Shogun]

2-Trevor Laws-there's nothing to dislike about this guy.

Yeah there is - he's from Notre Dame.

I think Chris Johnson could sneak in the first.

If I'm going way out on a limb....Joe Flacco.

 

[Stout]

Ditto. The 'Skins take him.

 

[cardsfanmd]

laws, Henne, Rice, Cason and Rachal.

 

[Mitch]

Andre Caldwell, WR, Florida

 

[Dr. Jones]

Bryan Jones..... An overweight but scrappy special teams player from Harrisburg, PA.

 

[Mitch]

Yeah there is - he's from Notre Dame.

I think Chris Johnson could sneak in the first.

I agree...Chris Johnson--1st round, possibly to TB.

Detroit just drafted a QB at the top of round 2 last season. No way they go QB again.

"championship."

Every year there is a guy(s) who get slected in round 1 that nobody thought would. The McCargo guy comes to mind.

Speaking of McCargo:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/10/15/colts.mccargo.ap/index.html

"Defensive tackle John McCargo wanted a fresh start.

He'll have to go somewhere other than Indianapolis to get it.
McCargo failed his physical, voiding the trade that sent him from Buffalo to the Colts and sending his rights back to the Bills, Colts spokesman Craig Kelley confirmed Wednesday night. The Buffalo News, citing two league sources, reported on its Web site that the Colts found a bulging disc in his back, a detail Kelley could not confirm.


Messages left by The Associated Press for Buffalo Bills officials were not returned.


It was a stark contrast to the way Wednesday started, with Colts coach Tony Dungy embracing the addition of McCargo and talking about how a new system may be just what McCargo needed to jump-start his NFL career.


"He was a guy we had good grades on (coming out of college), and he happened to be available," Dungy said earlier Wednesday. "It's an area we could use some help. If he was playing great for them, obviously, we wouldn't have him now. But we think he can fit well into this system, and we're hoping a change of scenery is good for him."


McCargo arrived in Indianapolis on Wednesday morning, one day after the Bills dealt him to the Colts for an undisclosed draft pick. He did not practice.


McCargo's agent, Hadley Engelhard, did not respond to a phone message left by the AP.


In an interview late in the afternoon, McCargo acknowledged he was waiting to take a physical and said he was eager to show he could succeed in a new defensive system.


While he showed no real concerns about passing the exam, the former first-round draft pick does have a history of foot problems. He broke his left foot in college, then again in his rookie season and doctors had to re-break it during his rehabilitation process in the spring of 2007.


"We've just got to see how this physical thing goes," McCargo said. "Or how this physical thing is going to go. So I'm just waiting on them."

.............

Initially I thought this was a very good move for the struggling Colts' D. Clearly that's not happening.

Yeah there is - he's from Notre Dame.

I think Chris Johnson could sneak in the first.

Shogun with the buzzer beater. Draftnik of the first order.
