I would never root againt the Fins but with our depleted Secondary against their potent offense, Fins are gonna have a tough time with this one.. This is one loss I would not be too mad about.
We lose and go to 6-10
1. Lions (2-14) - people are making this a harder decision than it will be. They get Brady Quinn
2. Oakland (2-14) - They can go 3 different ways- all offense here. Joe Thomas, Calvin Johsnon or Brian Brohm if he's available. I believe they would go Brohm if he came out. Some are saying he is better than Quinn. Brohm has stated he will be going back to school so with that I believe Raiders get Johnson (Moss and/or Porter will be gone next year). Teams usually select skill positions with a top pick.
3. Tampa Bay (4-12)- Their defense is aging and they need an aggressive pass rusher. They go with Gaines Adams. If Calvin Johnson is still there, they would probably get him but I think he'll be off the board by then.
4. Cleveland (4-12- Assuming they lose to Houston) - They have some potential playmakers on offense and besides the question mark at the QB position, another need for an upgrade is RB. They go with Adrian Peterson.
5. Arizona (5-11- If they somehow beat San Diego, we would move to the fifth spot) - Their Oline doesnt block well but with Joe Thomas on that line, he will provide huge assistance. The guy is massive.
6. Miami ( Assuming Houston beats Cleveland, Washington beats NYG) - Dolphins Front 7 is the reason this team stays in games late in the 4th quarter. Our secondary on the other hand, is the reason we give up huge plays to not-so-great QBs (Batch, Losman, Pennington, not-so-good-anymore Favre...you get the idea). So I think the Fins go with Leon Hall. Plays with the most competitive in the Big Ten. No other Olinemen worth taking this high in the draft. Fins could go with Alan Branch, but supposedly they got a steal with Rod Wright, so they could always address the aging Dline in the '08 Draft. Maybe Ted Ginn, Jr. He could really give a spark to our offense and return game. Or the biggest question, do the Fins go with a QB here. Brian Brohm, if he enters the Draft, would probably be either taken by the Lions or the Raiders. Sources have said that both teams would like to draft a QB. If Brohm is not there, do the Fins take Culpepper's mold- Jamarcus Russel - if he declares...
2nd round- Amobi Okoye DT Louisville
3rd round - Joe Staley OT Central Michigan
4th round- Doubt he falls here but Mason Crosby, kicker from Colorado. Best kicker to come out of the draft in a while.
I know we need depth at the Linebacker Position but I personally dont think there are too many potential Linebackers in this years draft.
Wasnt sure about going with more offensive guys seeing how our Offense is the reason we are 6-9. But with a healthy QB, R. Williams back, and hopefully a new Offensive Coordinator, I believe our offense can improve next year.
Thoughts? I believe I have the order right?
