with the draft 48 hours away. I'm afraid our leader Al 'Howard Hughes' Davis is going to spend that #1 pick on a defensive back and Al fails miserably on drafting cornerbacks in terms of percetages in my opinion.\n\nCharles did good and was a solid starter, but injuries caught up to him. He was a bit of a negative role model for the team. Terrell Owens totally dominated & had gawdy numbers on Charles.\n\nAll those probowls and 17 picks ever... I think Charles was overated BIG TIME!! Bummer is I got a closet full of #24 jersey's. Look for them on Ebay cheap,CHEAP!!!!\n\nhttp://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4271/career;_ylt=Aj_hfyyXn4660JDZ3WZVb5X.uLYF\n\nLike I said Charles wasn't no Deion Sanders or even Champ Bailey, but he did good things with Oakland and was part of the reason the Raiders had a nice run during the Gruden era. It's also nice to see Charles going to Green Bay....I get sooooooo tired of our beloved stars going to our arch rivals like the Quiefs & Buncos-- Chaps my hide!

To bad he wanted all that MONEY!!!!!!! \n\nI'd like to see A.J.Hawk!!! \n\nI'll still wear my 24 jersey but he was costing the team way to much money for his output. Plus all those games missed. HUH I couldn't believe he wasn't gone last year. \n\n**Just Win Baby**

im a cowboy fan and yes i think they have plenty enough to make it to the superbowl, our wide outs just got a whole lot better, we have depth at running back, we've addressed some of our O-line problems though we may get another in the draft unless we trade out which has been our trend the last couple years and bledsoes good enough with that better line. as far as defense, we did lose glover and ngyuen but we answered those problems other then maybe glover and we're alos going to get someone to go along side #31 your boy, Roy, and to think, if we woulda had vanderjagt last year, we would prolly won 13 games but thats in the past, all i got to say is we're comin on strong baby so get ready...oh as for the superbowl prediction...ill go out on a wing and say - Dallas 27 Cincy 24...give love to cincy 2, their vamping up that defense so they already had the offense now they get the defense, this of course is all resting upon if Palmers ready by the seasons start.....whew my fingers hurt from typing lol

well the Falcons have an idiot at Defensive Coord. plus the defensive line is dead. No Abraham, Kerney out, Rod Coleman has a toe injury, so they pretty much have a patchwork line with youngsters and Undrafted free agents. The pass rush is not a factor so the QB has all kinds of time back there, and no CB...absolutely no CB can cover a reciever forever. Plus Donatelle plays alot of Zone so recievers are just running to the open spots and playing catch. Don't get to down on D. Hall he is still an elite CB, but the lack of Pass rush would affect any CB in the NFL.

Well for starters don't listen to that idiot above me  hollisterdude57'. He's been asnwer all the questions like this. And all he talks about is CHuck Norris. \n\nALLEN PARK, Michigan (Ticker) - Coach Rod Marinelli watched Shaun King have some success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now he's hoping King can do the same for the Detroit Lions. \n\nKing, who did not play at all last season after spending 2004 as a backup with the Arizona Cardinals, signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Friday. \n\nIn Detroit, King will compete with Dan Orlovsky for the backup job to Joey Harrington. \n\nThe Detroit Lions now head into Phase Three of the rebuilding process. Having solidified the coaching staff and the new aggressive philosophy, they now have to weed through their 53-man roster and look for three types of players: playmakers, role-players and dead weight. \n\nOf course I think it may take a couple of years for anything be to be noticed.

Will Blalock is not a good pick even if it is the last pick in the draft. I felt there were more talented players left on the board. I think they needed a post player anyway because Wallace might leave and they need some young blood there. Louis Admundson and Terrance Dials would have been better uses of that pick.

I like the Texans pick of Mario Williams. When you only sack the opposing Qb 29 times in 16 games there is something to be said about that. They need a pass rusher for sure. Reggie Bush have never face a defense like any of the ones he will see in the NFC South. Carolina, Tampa, and ATL....come on!!! Then he will have the pressure of being the best athlete in to enter the draft in what was it ten years. Yo Saints....Joe Horn is 34....why not trade the pick to Greenbay for Walker and the #5 pick.

Wow, that's a tough choice.  Lamont Jordan is out because OAK sucks and they are going against a pretty decent KC defense.  I say Cadillac is out too because he was always over rated.  He had 3 good games as a rookie and has never produced the same results since.  That leaves Shaun Alexander and Jamal Lewis.\n\nMy logic is usually to always play your stud, in your case Shaun Alexander.  But we Holmgren already said Shaun won't play the whole game and I'm sure he'll be a little rusty anyway.  I live in Atlanta and the Falcons defense has A LOT of holes in it due to injuries.  As much as I'd hate to see it happen, I think Jamal Lewis will have a pretty good game against ATL.  If the Ravens can move the ball downfield you know Jamal will be getting touches in red zone situations.  Atlanta's defense is weak, go with Jamal Lewis.\n\ngood luck\n\n** I would also consider picking up waiver guys like Anthony Thomas (BUF) running for the injured Willis McGahee or Brandon Jacobs (NYG) who could get more touches if Tiki is still hurt.  Jacobs had 2 or 3 touchdowns last week. **

I think they made a good move.  How does someone pass up someone of his caliber?\n\nThey will fit him in.  The idea is to run both McAllister and Bush, kind of like that whole "thunder and lightning" cliche you hear all the time.  Plus McAllister is coming off ACL surgery, and most of the time those players are never the same.\n\nIt would be good for them because then both will probably be taking less punishment (Bush because he is smaller, McAllister because of his knee) and thus last longer into the season.\n\nOf course, there were probably a million different scenarios that could have played out.  In the end, we don't know what other teams offered the Saints for their spot.  If some team offered like 5 first round picks then they made a bad move.  But given the knowledge we do know I think they made the right choice.

Nene recently got "injured" in today's game and Eduardo Najera seems to be the new designated starter in Kenyon Martin's absence.  Taking this into consideration along with the fact that he is no longer "C" eligible (which you mentioned), makes him expendable.  As for Claxton, many fantasy analysts can see a lot of potential in him as he is a starter for the first time in his career.  It is just unfortunate that he got a minor injury recently, but he should be back in uniform soon.  Maybe it would be wise to give Speedy a little more time and keep him on your team.\n\nOverall, I feel that you should dump Nene in favor of Ryan Gomes who is now the Celts starting PF after recording his first triple-double a couple of days ago.  Added to his is that his main backup--Al Jefferson--just had an appendectomy and is out for the next two to three weeks.\n\nLastly, I heard Jason Williams has started practicing again and should be back next week or the week after at the latest.  Help is on the way!  Good Luck!

Yes....they are.  Complete morons.  They picked a guy for their number one draft pick, who couldn't record a sack against three division three schools.  That is not a number one draft pick. Oh...and Reggie Bush was right there....but I guess Domanick Davis is the answer.  HHHHHAAAAA!

It's getting very interesting here in Alabama.  The rumors are running rampant.  I would love to have Spurrier or Saban.  Supposedly, they have not spoken to anybody, but, I find that hard to believe.  I think we will have an announcement by Friday.  Or at least I hope it will not go on longer than that.

Lynch is a playmaker.  There is always room for a playmaker on any NFL Squad.  I don't know how many running backs are entering the draft this year, but he will probably be a top 10 pick if not higher.  Cleveland could use a fast change of direction running back to complement Rueben Droughns.

Hey, I'm a fellow Giants fan, and we really, really need help on defense.  Lavar Arrington would help, but what we need to focus on this offseason is our secondary.  We need to draft a linebacker in the draft and let him develop, I don't think Lavar Arrington will lead us anywhere.

I'll admit, I'm a Niners fan...but realistically it appears as if the Raiders can win 8 games this year. With new coach Art Shell, look for Lamont Jordan to get more carries (he  gained 1014 yards last year, but only averaged 3.8 yards per carry and also only had three 100 yd games, mainly due to the fact he didnt get enough touches). \n\nDespite what people say, Aaron Brooks is a definite upgrade over Collins. Brooks has a strong arm (okay so did Collins) but Brooks is more mobile and elusive in the pocket. I wouldnt be concerned about the Raiders passing game, Randy Moss should be recovered from his injuries last year. That's quite a scary thought...the Raiders have the deepest WR corps in the League hands down - Moss, Jerry Porter, Doug Gabriel and Alvis Whitted...all 4 are capable recievers (not to mention fast).\n\nIn my opinion, the biggest problem for the Raiders is not their defense, but their special teams. Derrick Burgess led the league in sacks last year, yet the defense was horrendous..esp. when it came to forcing turnovers (Five interceptions all season!?!). They did add corners Tyrone Poole and Duane Starks, not to mention draft picks Michael Huff and Darnell Bing..who should all add immediate help in shoring up the secondary. \n\nAs I mentioned above, as bad as their defense was, the Raiders' special teams were worse. Janikoski only made 20/30 field goals and scored a measely 90 points (his accuracy from 40+ yards is pathetic...7 for 15). Also, Oakland had the worst punt-retun average in the league...I don't know how they plan on fixing these problems...but they need to find a solution or it'll end up costing them games.\n\nLooking at the Raiders' schedule this year...I'm prediciting wins for the Raiders coming against Baltimore, Cleveland, SF, Arizona, KC, Houston, St. Louis, KC (second meeting) and against the NY Jets. So I'll take the Raiders to finish the season with a mark of around 8-8. Not bad, but unfortunately, not good enough to keep up with the likes of Denver or SD in the competitive AFC West. However, with Art Shell coming back to coach in Oakland and Randy Moss coming back healthy, the Raiders should figure to have one of the more exciting offenses to watch in the NFL this year.

only time will tell from this pick, but charlie casserly wanted to draft a defense...\n\nmy opinion: how the hell can you not draft the most dynamic player out of college the last 20 years???\n\nthis should mean that the texans will most likely get the 1st pick overall again, next year 2007!!!

You and me both. That loss made me nauseous. Hell, I think it made every Giants fan nauseous. \n\nYou know what, I've said it for about two weeks now, that I'm really surprised how well Tony Romo is playing. He's really just taken that team and made it better. The Saints, well, I am happy for them and I'm disappointed in the Bears (I just hate the Pats, I wanted the Bears to win yesterday). \n\nHonestly, I don't really know what happened yesterday. Eli...oh Eli. There are only so many excuses that people can come up with to explain his bipolar playing. One game: he's fantastic. Lately, he's just tanking. I sat there watching him throw that final interception and just felt myself cringe. Why? WHY! He needs to go home and have a serious conversation with Peyton. DONT DO STUPID THINGS WHEN THE GAME IS ON THE LINE! Now I have never really liked Plaxico. He makes a big play about...once a game if he can catch. Other than that, he's a complete waste to our offense. If they can teach Tiki not to fumble, they can teach Plax how to hold onto a damn ball. I wouldn't be surprised of Shockey decided to leave. I mean c'mon, they never even use him! He's there for purely decoration, and I'd be pissed off if I were him. And I don't care about "well, I might have been roughing the passer," that half-tackle by Kiwi nearly made me want to punch the screen. TAKE DOWN THE QB. Just make sure his knee hits the ground, then done. Take your damn 15 yards (it wouldn't've even been) and then tackle him again. \n\nI think that with losing our best players, it's exposing how shaky Eli's quarterbacking skills are. With our best players in the game and healthy, they kind of balanced Eli's crappy mistakes and still kept us in there. But since we're playing 3rd stringers, we just don't have that ability anymore. \n\nI think last night we handed the division title to Dallas on a golden platter. And after the way we played, I'm afraid to say we deserved it. If we win against Dallas, we'll at least be tied with them. We are still in the Wild Card race with the Panthers, but I know every Giants fan remembers that game last year...complete shut out. Complete embarrassment. \n\n...I think we need to draft a new QB. And receivers. And a healthy defense.

Changing the quarterback at this time was a good decision.  We need to see if Campbell can play so that we can decide if we need to acquire a new quarterback in the off season.  Brunell is at the end of a good career.  We would have had to replace him at the end of this year anyway.  Let's see what the kid can do.\n\nThe defense is what is killing us right now.  We won't make the playoffs unless Williams corrects the problem of the defense giving up too many long pass plays.  I hate to say it, but Sean Taylor needs to be benched until he has an epiphany and stops biting on the run fakes.
