11916 The NFL Draft is coming up and everyone is wondering who are the Dolphins going to take first! Or do the Bears need to draft a QB? The Patriots went 18-1 this year and still get the 7th pick because of a trade with SF, so what will the Pats do in their draft! The Colts do NOT have a 1st round draft pick because of a draft pick traded to the SF! What are their missing pieces? Below is my predictions on who what teams should take and how I think it will fall out on Draft day!!!!! 1.Miami Dolphins: Chris Long, DE, Virginia- Miami will not take Matt Ryan because why would Miami pass on Brady Quinn last year and take a QB this year! Plus Miami really needs good defensive front to pressure real good! So I see Miami take Chris Long from VA to be the perfect fit for the Miami Dolphins! 2.St. Louis Rams: Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU- Rams were expected to make the playoffs this year, but the injuries really hurt them, they started 0-8!I really believe Rams offense is really solid it's just that the defense is struggling so I see them taking Glenn Dorsey out of LSU! I believe that Rams will go 10-6 and make the playoffs and Dorsey will be a ROY candidate! 3.Atlanta Falcons: Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College- Since Mike Vick left the Falcons , their has be QB controversy in Atlanta! The Falcons have a question mark on top of their heads saying who is the QB? Well if you are looking for a QB you have to look at Matt Ryan! If I'm the Falcons I would take a chance on this guy! 4. Oakland Raiders: Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas- Raiders have had problems over the past years with the running game! Michael Bush is a question mark Lamont Jordan is a question mark with staying with the Raiders! Dominick Rhodes did nothing this year so I don't see Raiders still with him! 5. Kansas City Chiefs: Jake Long, OT, Michigan- Herm Edwards says the QB is Brodie Croyle! I will believe him because the guy just started his career and needs sometime to work! It takes time! KC needs better protection on the O-Line which makes me think that they are going to go with the Best O-Lineman in the draft, they will draft Jake Long! 6. New York Jets: Vernon Gholston, DE, Ohio State- He is a great athlete that could fit in ANY type of defense and I believe that he will fit perfectly with the 3-4 puzzle of the Jets. He didn't do all that well in the combine, but I would still believe in him! 7. New England Patriots (From SF): Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida-The Patriots' Corners were exposed late in the regular season and Jenkins will provide them with more confidence against the slant. He is the best CB in the draft and that is the weakest position for the Pats! Also Asante is gone from the Pats now! 8. Baltimore Ravens: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville- Ravens have a new man in charge and with that chance to change up the team they have a chance of drafting a QB! Brian Brohm is a really good fit for the Ravens, but we have to wonder will Troy Smith also be the man? 9. Cincinnati Bengals: Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC- I believe Ellis has been far down in the draft then he should be, but that is why he will fit with a team that really needs him! Bengals have had a lot of problems with the Pass and Run last few years! The Bengals seem to be improving in the pass now the run will to with Ellis right in the face! 10. New Orleans Saints: Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas- NO has been getting crushed with the pass last few years. The pick-up of Jason David last year didn't seem to help that much. There is no doubt that NO will be picking up a CB! 11. Buffalo Bills: Keith Rivers, OLB, USC- Rivers over the off season has looked like he is the real deal! He will complete a formidable unit with Crowell and Posluszny for years to come. He seems like he will have a great future! 12. Denver Broncos: Kenny Phillips, FS, Miami- With one of the best DB groups already in the league (Broncos) Lynch is getting closer to retirement every year, with the 12th pick the Broncos will pick Kenny Phillips. 13. Carolina Panthers: Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State- Wonder why Jake Del. Ever gets hurt! It's because he gets hit so hard because the line can't block! Clady is a very good Linemen that uses his hands very good while blocking! 14. Chicago Bears: Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois-Benson,In three years, he failed to prove that he could carry the load. Mendenhall will have no problem doing so. Bears signed Grossman and Orton this week, but that doesn't stop them from signing a QB in the next round! 15. Detroit Lions: Derrick Harvey, DE, Florida-The Lions have not had a dominant pass rusher since the great Robert Porcher. Harvey will get to the quarterback and rejuvenate a unit that gave up far too many points last year. 16. Arizona Cardinals: Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon-This perfect timing for Edge James! Now he is getting older and needs a little more help caring the load! Stewart is the perfect fit to work with James! Picks 17-32 will come probably in a week or 2! Please comment on what you think of my draft so far! Go Colts true 2008-02-27T13:15:55Z 32455 1 2008-02-27T13:15:55Z
