Why did Buffalo select Donte Whitner with their 8th pick? Shouldnt they have gone with some O or D line help?

The Bills probably should have taken a defensive end like Broderick Bunkly or Kamerion Wmbley.  Even Haloti Ngata at nose tackle would have been a good pick, Whitner is a good player, but I think they should have considered trading down a 4 or five spots and pick him up there.  The only team I think they had to worry about taking Whitner is Dallas, but they had the 18th pick,  So as long as the Bills stayed at 12 or 13 they would still get their man and may even pick up a late second or third round pick in the process.

Yep, he as the guy before me said, Marques Colston was drafted as a Tight End because they said he was too slow for the Wide Receiver position. He came from Hofstra University in New York and has blossomed for the Saints. I don't know why he is only listed as a TE, in my league he is a TE/WR. And I have Yahoo. Too bad I don't have him in my league. Everybody is too dang on smart!!

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.

Happened about 5 hours ago, but yea, its a bad decision on Taxans behalf. If they werent gonna take Reggie, they shoulda got Vince, even though they still wont be winning, he would put butts in the seats. But good news is, with that dumb pick, the Texans will prob have the first pick next year so  they can get the Beast Adrian Peterson(Hopefully) or another good RB.

the cowboys need more then people think DT,OG,OT,WR,FS. there are a lot of quality safties this year and OL so they can hold off on them. there are very few good DT in the draft but there is gabe watson who is very good, but has a work ethic problem but has a lot of upside and there is a chance that winston justice will be there at 18. they are in a bad spot this year for what they need the best players will be gone by there pick so trading up is a good idea.

I agree that Ferguson will be taken if he is left on the board. I however believe that Williams will be taken at 27 by Carolina. By the way the Jets are the 29th pick not the 28th. At this point New York can take an enormous chance and try grabbing Lendale White of USC. He has gained much weight and has torn a hamstring both massive drawbacks. However he was the bread to Reggie Bush's butter at USC. An alternative is Laurence Maroney out of Minnesota.

Why did they win???\n\nThey played hard ... fought great battles against great teams ... they came out the victor this year.  \n\nWell see where come through on the draft in a week and we'll get a better picture if they'll be back next year, or if this is their shinning moment.

Seems to me that the Lions' biggest problems last year were the lack of consistent O-Line play and a porous defense.  Squandering their past 3 #1 picks on wideouts was not a smart move; they should have been going after top O-Line and defensive talent.  Basically, they need to draft and/or pick up impact players at those two positions to have any sort of chance.  Yes, they have a solid runner in Jones and good, young receivers; however, you can't get anywhere without a line to give the QB time and open up holes for the running back.  You also can score 50 points and still lose if you give up 51, so the Lions need to get going on defense.

The draft gurus for each team should pick the player that will be the best asset to the team.  If, for example, the Indianapolis Colts had the first pick in this year's recent draft, they would have been foolish to pick up Vince Young or Matt Leinart, since they already have their starting QB in Peyton Manning.  The Houston Texans evaluated what they were lacking and decided that a big playmaker on Defense would help them out the most.  That is why they went with Mario Williams.  He may not be a better player than Leinart, Young, or Reggie Bush, but he was what was needed.  Clearly, you don't just draft the best players out there, but specifically which ones will fill the needs in your team's Depth Chart.\n\nFantasy drafts are the same way.  There may be some great QBs or RBs still on the boards, but you need to fill all of your positions so that you can have a starting lineup.\n\nYour comment about prestige and bonus money is valid, but the team owners and GMs should look to what is good for the team as a whole, not for the benefit for one up and coming prospect.

The Texans have a good all around RB in\nDominack Davis and their backup, Vernon Wells, is not that bad. Also the Texans just signed David Carr to a big deal.  What they need is a linemen. I'm from New York so I don't watch Texan's games much but when I did see them their Offensive line was dredful. The Texans should do this (and Im not just saying this because I'm from New York). They should trade their pick to the Jets and get the Jet's first pick and another pick. Assuming that Vince Young, Matt Leinart, and Reggie Bush go 1st 2nd 3rd that will leave the Texans with D'Brickashaw Fergueson. That's what they REALLY need. But... Reggie Bush is too hyped up to pass on so the Texans will choose Bush.

Well teams draft based on "need" because that is what they need.  Do you think that the Colts would draft a QB because he is the best player on the board when it's their turn to pick?  No, they pick based on team needs, not fan favorite.  I do understand that passing on Bush is a gamble on the Texans part, but they didn't need a RB.  The Texans have lots of other positions on the team they need to fill, and I don't think Reggie would have filled their "needs" as well as Williams will.  Houston is hurting for good defensive players, and Offensive line, Reggie doesn't play in any of those positions.

They'd be dumb not to draft Reggie Bush. They just signed Carr to a big contract so there's not need for Vince Young. Yes, they have Domanik Davis but lots of NFL teams have two good backs these days. Look at Dever (Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson) and Kansas City (Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson). Reggie Bush is going to be a great running back and the Texans can't afford to pass up on him.

they say the draft is for winners and free agents are for losers....a free agent that signed with a team and starts will cost more than one drafted......the draft is the life blood of the nfl of course it was....!!! the titans got the future leader of the team in young and maybe a future starting RB in White....the steel has got depth at DE but after a year in a half in the system he might be better than the starter of this year...and then is always room for WRs

That is a good notion but for a team that is ready for the playoffs like the broncos or dolphins. The Texans are years from a playoff game(and playoff money) so they are rebuilting and a high price DT or OT from a playoff team with money isnt gonna help the rebuilting process. Plus a QB takes at least a year to forget the college system and Take in the new system unless your(kyle orton) i think if RB Davis had been 2 years older(5thyear) the choice would had been clearer.(B~U~S~H)..but i guess it was smokey...lol Also so vince taking 2 years to get ready would have cause a riot in Texas!Carrs life would have been in danger! But Here's my thing if your gonna stay with Carr, protect him!! and help the running back out in two ways...less men in the box cuz of a pass game and better run blocking up front They got 2 good vets and the rest are weak or draft picks......trust me they'll take a RB or M.Bush or a WR next year and they still be i the 1-5  draft slot..they got lucky in the third and some good OTs...ok i get it now!!!! Losing is there plan.. I mean that just has to be it cause anything else just seems silly!!!\n\nthey signed three vets\nSalaam, Ephraim T 6'07'' 295 06/19/1976 9 San Diego State \nFlanagan, Mike C 6'05'' 301 11/10/1973 9 UCLA \nWiegert, Zach G 6'05'' 309 08/16/1972 12 Nebraska \nand the all might been hurt at the end of the season!!!

AJ Hawk and Bobby Carpenter are very solid and were good picks.  I actually think maybe it was a little high for Carpenter, but he is a good fit for the 3-4 and Parcells.  Donte Whitner went too high, but he was the best safety after Michael Huff, so if you want a safety, he's the guy.  Should've gone about at Miami, though.

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!!!
