Boomer, what do you think of Haloti Ngata (DT, Jr - Oregon) - he looks like an awesome physical specimen, how would you rank him among the other DT's? And do you know if he's coming out?

I don't think he knows anything specifically. Remember, we are very much in draft dead time as we get ready for the Senior Bowl, etc. I think Mel is of the opinion that the upside potential on Brown is higher, that's all.
In his Bible, his 2005 Post Season Prospectus he also has Brown at 2 and Caddy at 3, the reason being that Brown's "completeness as a back" has few peers. You'd have to agree with that sentiment.

No. Compared to "I don't know". It's pretty simple.
The Miami-Ravens game was hardly game of the day in England which is why I didn't see it.
FROM WHAT I HEAR and the snippets that I saw, he clearly has the arm, he can make the plays, but he lacked consistency and was dogged by some dumb and very costly throws. But considering that was his first start, my instinct is that he deserves at least a shot. Rarely do QB's come in and go 25-28-350-4-0 in their first start for a club. Practice reps and timing are vital. Like I said, I think he has a shot.

Walter is the pre-eminent LT in football. You are looking at more money than we have to sign him. As for Wilkerson, I like him, although there are concerns about his aggression and the fact that he is a finesse player at the mike. But if Saban runs the same blocking scheme that he is used to with the Bayou Bengals and he is back to 100% then I think he's an excellent pick up, especially with Miami only likely to tender Seth McKinney to the lowest tender. Hopefully he will depart in FA.

A very heralded recruit for the Ducks. Speedy and extremely powerful he's a huge force in the middle. He's the immovable object who can play as the NG in the 3-4 or in the 4-3. He's actually only a redshirt sophomore having missed all of 2003 with a torn ACL after signing on in 2002. I have heard that he will stay for his r junior season at the least, as part of a fact that he struck with his father Soloman who was killed in a car accident just before Christmas 2002. I think he will stay and prove that the knee is perfect and then hit the draft next year where he could literally go anywhere. The top 5 is certainly an option in his future.

Great Stuff sir thanks for the hard work...
A quick question for you. How do the top two QB's in this years draft Leinart and Rodgers compare to Rivers in last years draft. Was or is Rivers the best of the three? Personally I like Rivers more...

Hey Boomer
Have you ever heard of Marion Barber III rb for minnesota, from what i saw of him against Alabama in their bowl game. What do you think of him and is there any chance he comes out to the draft this year.

MBIII is staying in college, Boomer has mentioned him as a top 40 pick. Next year Maroney and Barber will both be available, Maroney will be a Junior and Barber a senior and have a damn good chance of being the first RB Tandem to have 3 consecutive 1000 rds rushing in NCAA History.Caddy24 said:

Excellent college OC but not sure how that will carry over to the pros. Certainly will be a system OC - like Atlanta or Denver because he is underaized at about 284lbs. He understands leverage though which is important and he has the sort of aggressive streak that can't be taught. He's very mobile and has excellent feet, but you'd worry about him matched up against someone like Pat Williams or Grady Jackson or Rod Coleman as he can get overrun at the point.

Very good player - best center in the country, but like Raiola, he is a little undersized. But he understands leverage, has tremendous techniques and works the angles as well as any OC I have seen in a while. Cleveland's Jeff Faine is the best OC I have seen come out in a while and while he is bigger and more aggressive than Eslinger, Greg has better mobility. At 6'2.5 and 282lbs, again, you worry whether he can hold up against the bigger DT's/NT's. But he is a weight room warrior and there is no wasted strength on that frame at all. As a pulling C he won't overpower, but he will never get called for holding because he stacks up so well at the point when moving, he keeps his feet in front of him, has an excellent base and keeps working his hands. Tonnes of experience and a solid player.
I have read that he will stay in.
