16 San Diego Knowshon Moreno RB Georgia

Are you paying attention LT?

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

Not much of a shocker here. LT is screwed

 

[Sgt John]

Crabtree to Seattle.......interesting.

 

[Orgazmo]

Sanchez at 3, with only a year under his belt is pretty ballsy.

 

[Da Bomb]

yeah sanchez at 3 is the real shocker there to me!

 

[Sgt John]

I agree, and we also dont know what coaching staff will be at Kansas City. If it's Todd Haley, one failed USC product in Leinart might make him leery of a less polished and collegiately unproven USC product in Sanchez.

 

[Arctic Dawgs]

You guys that are in "The Death Pool" might want to grab Tim Ruskell if Seattle drafts Crabtree

:coffin:

 

[Mike]

Screw what Kiper or any other major website shock jocks think. Post some threads with what you guys project :challenge:

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

I know that sanchez is a gamble, but after seeing what cassel did this year I'm sure the USC bug isn't as bad as we thought. I mean we saw a guy that didn't play at all shine.

 

[Mike]

And Leinart may get a Super Bowl ring

 

[Miller]

Sanchez will end up going in the second half of rd 1 and KC will take Monroe or Smith at #3.

 

[The Ram]

If Detroit takes a skilled player with their first round pick they will again take up the mantle of "Epic Fail Draft". Stafford will be a fine quarterback. But the Lions suck balls and need major help up front. If they don't go OT or LB/DT with that 3rd pick they are freaking silly. They should pick up Smith.

Also anyone taking Sanchez in the first round will be very sorry. Again, he may end up a fine player but that is WAY too high. KC needs OL in the worst way and a guy like Monroe could be an impact player week 1.

Crabtree to Seattle would be the best possible fit for both player and team.
