With Portis returning along with Betts, Cartwright, & Duckett, I just can't see the 'skins selecting an RB.

I can see them taking a DL or even upgrading their secondary.

thats what i was thinking. i think they go S or D line bc they need a pass rusher and archuleta was benched so S should be ttempting.

Makes sense. Plus, we should really be hoping that Peterson falls to 9. I think many mid-level team woulds want to trade up for Peterson. Green Bay would be the ideal trade partner at 16. They are in desperate need of a starting RB. If Farve comes back, the need might be dire.
 
I want to see tedd ginn drop to us I know it wont happen but jamrcus russell would be great!!!
 
Well thought out. The more I think about it the more I feel Miami will take Brown with the #9 pick and that wouldn't be bad as he's someone they could build the line around. Brown may not be the ideal left tackle, but there are a lot of players in this league who aren't ideal fits for their position who can play (Zach Thomas). In a way, Brown is a lot like Tarek Glenn who came into the league with the same questions -- whether his feet were quick enough to play left tackle. He's done pretty well and I'm sure Peyton Manning is happy to have him.

I'm a defense first guy so I'd love to see Miami take Adams if he slipped, or Okoye or Moss who reminds me a lot of Jason Taylor. But Brown would make a lot of sense for a coach who was hired to overhaul the offense.

Let's take a look at the draft not based on how good the players are. Of course, that is the biggest factor, but we all know teams also draft based on need.

So here is a list of the top 8 picks (based on their biggest need AND what is available):

1. Oakland Raiders: QB JaMarcus Russell
2. Detroit Lions: OL Joe Thomas
3. Cleveland Browns: QB Brady Quinn
4. Tampa Bay Bucs: WR Calvin Johnson
5. Arizona Cardinals: DE Jamall Anderson
6. Washington Redskins: RB Adrian Peterson
7. Minnesota Vikings: WR Ted Ginn Jr.
8. Houston Texans: DT Alan Branch

I really do not see a DB going before Miami picks. There just isn't that one DB standout that is exceptional enough to get into the top 8. Landry might slide in to the Texans at #8, but that is a long shot.

The Raiders and Browns needs long-term QBs badly. I think Minnesota will look to get another "Randy Moss" type of player by going for Ginn Jr. The other players are just too good to pass on for the other teams.

So Miami is in REAL GOOD SHAPE at #9. They can get an immediate starter with this pick. These are the players I think it will come down too:

9. Miami Dolphins: DB Nelson, DT Okoye, DE Adams or OT Brown

I feel about 90% certain that one of those four players will get the call from Miami in the 1st round.

Note: If Ginn Jr. slips for some strange reason, I think Miami should snatch him up.

Based on CLE's media so far...they arent going to pick Quinn at #3/4. They most likely pick Adrian Peterson.

In this scenario, of course Gaines Adams would be the choice since Ginn Jr is gone.
 
Based on those projections, and how Minny's coach has said he feels about drafting recievers early, and how Williamson has worked out for them, I can't see them not drafting Gaines Adams(considering who would be left).

And assuming the Vikes take him, I would like to see the Fins get Landry, nelson, Okoye, or Brown.

Agreed. I think the Skins could also pick up a guy like Adams, or definitely Branch.

Ginn is not worth a top 10 pick. He is fast, but undersized. He reminds me of Desmond Howard and Rocket Ismael. Both were good special teamers, but nothing special as WR's. For the money you have to pay a top 10 pick, he damn well better be on the field as a significant contributor for the offense.
 
I think Levi Brown is a good pick, along with Adams if available. No matter the situation from 1-8, we have some amazing choices at 9. Imagine if one of the top five dropped to 9! Its possible! Look at Cutler.
If Russell fell to 9 because of a bad workout or some personality issues, combine, or pro day he could fall late.
