After this morning's trade between the Lions & Broncos, I felt compelled to post my upper tier NFL draft predictions:
1. (Oakland Raiders) - JaMarcus Russell, QB (LSU)
Even on life-support, Al Davis can't resist this big-armed stud. Any disagreements?
2. (Detroit Lions) - Brady Quinn, QB (N.Dame)
They couldn't pick a WR #1 four years IN A ROW, could they? Actually ... they very well might.
3. (Cleveland Browns) - Adrian Peterson, RB (Oklahoma)
Poor kid goes from OU to wearing the dumbest uniforms in sports. Wait, was that much of a change? (ouch! I forsee a retort coming from Jay Mendenhall)
4. (Tampa Bay) - Calvin Johnson, WR (G.Tech)
Since Joey Galloway is about 48 years old, this one's a no-brainer. CJ is probably the best athlete in the draft. I'm praying the Vikings trade up to get him (a Red Sea-type miracle).
5. (Arizona) - Joe Thomas, OT (Wisconsin)
The big winners in the Detroit/Denver trade. They can't believe Thomas falls this far. Somewhere (from inside a nightclub in southern California), Matt Leinart thanks Jesus.
6. (Washington) - Jamaal Anderson, DE (Arkansas)
All logic suggests a DE here. So they'll probably pick a WR. Does anyone really care?
7. (Minnesota) - no pick.
They will turn in their card 15 seconds late ... after which I will leave the NFL Draft watching party in disgust. Oh well, at least they're no longer the NFL's bad boys (Thank you SIN-cinnati Bungles!)
Looking forward to your rebuttle.

Not bad, but I don't think the Loins pass on Thomas even after the trade for Foster. That drops Quinn right into the lap of either the 'Skins or the Vikings.
Poor Guy.
Also, I prefer Bill Simmons' nom de screwup for my team, the Cincinn-Attica Bengals. Thanks.
The Vikings need to draft a new uniform. They should be able to get a descent one with the 7th pick. They need less purple. And while we're on the dumbest uniforms in sports, I think that honor should go to the Yellow Highlighter uni's worn by the Oregon Ducks. They are from another planet.
Bummer. I thought you would at least go to #9...any predictions on how Cam's bent towards offense will impact the Fish's strategy this draft? Still stings they had to give up a 2nd rounder for Dante..
did you say "draft party"? dear brother please tell me that you have something better to do with your life than sit in front of ESPN 23 and watch the draft. really, there are fans and then there are those desperate individuals who need to learn how to let go and watch hockey.
as far as your draft picks the only change that actually makes any difference is that you might be able to flip-flop 1 and 2. Quinn in the long run will be a better QB because he has Touch down Jesus on his side.
My retort: Division I-A college football standings since 1945...
(http://michigan-football.com/ncaa/ncaa_1a.htm) - cool site by the way
1. Oklahoma Sooners .761
2. Ohio St. Bucks .759
104. O-State Beavs .414
(by the way that ranking is below the mighty Buffalo Bulls and Duke Blue Devils)
Our uniforms are unique, time-tested, and classic. And they don't have a beaver on the helmet.
Side note: When do the Colts draft? (p.s. I know the answer so don't tell me)
Hey, why'd you stop at #7? Carol and I would love to hear your prognostication for our Dolphins at #9.
I'd love to see them snag Michigan's DT Alan Branch; he's a stud. With today's signing of Joey Porter, they could put a LOT of pressure on opposing QBs.
Or maybe one of your top-5 prizes slips a notch and falls to us!
