Mistake,
Raiders have too many needs to draft a safety this high. Would
have gone QB or DL |
| 8 |
8 |
Buffalo |
|
Can't
argue, I love Whitner, but Ngata would have been my pick, Bills
were 31st in league versus the run last year |
Can't
argue, but again would have gone to Bunkley over a safety |

Can't

Jackson is going to be a star |

Dallas |

Can't
argue, especially if moving inside, but outside in the 3-4 I like
Lawson better |
Agree
with selection |
| 19 |
19 |
San
Diego |
|
Can't
argue, but I like Jimmy Williams a little better |
Can't
argue, but risky selection and they can't afford to be wrong at CB
again |
| 20 |
20 |
Kansas
City |
|
Mistake,
too high for Hali; J Williams or C Jackson would have been steals |
Agree
with selection |
| 21 |
21 |
New
England |
|
Mistake,
two or three years down the road they will regret not drafting
DeAngelo williams |
Mistake
- not sold on Maroney, DeAngelo Williams should have been the
pick. |

Tampa
Bay |
|
Mistake,
I like Jean-Gilles as an OG better, and would have gone Justice |
Can't
argue - Bucs most pressing need and were also scared away from
Justice. |
| 24 |
24 |
Cincinnati |
|
Can't
argue, Joseph can be a #1 CB, but I would have gone TE Lewis, or
even DT Watson. |
Agree
with selection |
| 25 |

Pittsburgh |
|
Can't
argue, but I like Jackson more than Holmes |
Agree
with selection |
| 26 |
26 |
Buffalo |
|
Mistake,
MCargo is okay, but if trading up should have gone with C Jackson |
Can't
argue, the need was there, but did they reach high or was he next
on a lot of baords? |

N.Y.
Giants |
|
Mistake,
too high for Kiwi, how about Jackson, Moss, or Justice?? and ? |
Can't
argue, I would have liked an offensive playmaker like C Jackson or
Moss, but can never have too many good pass rushers. |

Houston |
|
Can't
argue, Ryans is an upgrade, but why has Justice fallen so far? |

41 |
Arizona |
|
Can't
argue, but I like Jean-Gilles better |
| 10 |
42 |
Chicago |
|
Can't
argue, but I like Simpson better as a FS, Marshall as CB |
| 11 |
43 |
New
Orleans |
|
Mistake,
they have more needs to fill than at safety, and at safety I like
Simpson, Watkins a little more; Hodge should have been the pick |
| 12 |
44 |
N.Y.
Giants |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 13 |
45 |
Tennessee |
|
Mistake,
they need a RT, McNeill would have been my pick; white could be a
bust |
| 14 |
46 |
St.
Louis |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 15 |
47 |
Green
Bay |
|
Can't
argue, but I like McNeill better at OT, and Jean-Gilles at OG |
| 16 |
48 |
Minnesota |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 17 |
49 |
N.Y.
Jets |
|
Mistake,
Brodie Croyle will be a star |
| 18 |
50 |
San
Diego |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 19 |
51 |
Minnesota |
|
Can't
argue, Cook is versatile backup, but this is too high, but
with no third round pick is understandable |
| 20 |
52 |
Green
Bay |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 21 |
53 |
Dallas |
|
Can't
argue, but second round is high for blocking TE in two TE offense,
Wilkinson, GoCong or B Williams may have been better |
| 22 |
54 |
Kansas
City |
|
Mistake,
Pollard is another safety who can't cover, KC has two of those
starting already; Simpson hits and covers and would have been my
pick |
| 23 |
55 |
Cincinnati |
|
Can't
argue, Whitworth is a good player, but think how nice Watson would
look in the middle of their defensive line |
| 24 |
56 |
Baltimore |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 25 |
57 |
Chicago |
|
Can't
argue, but I would have gone Pope or Byrd |
| 26 |
58 |
Carolina |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 27 |
59 |
Tampa
Bay |
|
Mistake,
I like Winston and Scott better, in fact Justice in round one and
Jean-Gilles here would have been better |
| 28 |
60 |
Jacksonville |
|
Mistake,
too limited a player for round two; Pearman is fine as third-down
back; DE Anderson would have been my pick |
| 29 |
61 |
Denver |
|
Can't
argue, but Putzier was let go because he could catch but not
block; Scheffler is very similar |
| 30 |
62 |
Indianapolis |
|
Can't
argue, but I like Byrum better as a nickel corner |
| 31 |
63 |
Seattle |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 32 |
64 |
Minnesota |
|
Can't
argue, Jackson has great raw skills, but Croyle is more of a sure
thing and would have been my pick |
| ROUND 3 |

Player |
Jay Goldberg's as GM |
| 1 |
65 |
Houston |
|
Can't
argue, but where is Jean-Gilles, he would be a steal here |
| 2 |
66 |
Houston |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 3 |
67 |
Green
Bay |
|
Mistake,
not because of Hodge, but with Hawk and Barnett where is Hodge
going to play? The SAM? DT Watson would have been my
pick |
| 4 |
68 |
St.
Louis |
|
Can't
argue, as long as he keeps away from the weed |
| 5 |
69 |
Oakland |
|
Can't
argue, but may be a little high for McQuistan; I like Scott better |
| 6 |
70 |
Buffalo |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 7 |
71 |
Philadelphia |
|
Agree
with selection |

|
Agree
with selection |
| 9 |
73 |
Chicago |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 10 |
74 |
Detroit |
|
Mistake,
Calhoun too much like K Jones, with Backus not back yet, OT Scott
would make sense |
| 11 |
75 |
Green
Bay |
|
Can't
argue, but Jean-Gilles would be a steal |
| 12 |
76 |
N.Y.
Jets |
|
Mistake,
too high for Schlegel even though he has more value for a 3-4
team, ILB Wilkinson or DT Watson would have been my pick |
| 13 |
77 |
St.
Louis |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 14 |
78 |
Cleveland |
|
Mistake,
D Williams will be a much better NFL player |
| 15 |
79 |
Atlanta |
|
Can't
argue, but I have a slight personal preference for Harrison who
could be grabbed on day two |
| 16 |
80 |
Jacksonville |
|
Mistake,
too high for Ingram, Gaither would have been my pick |
| 17 |
81 |
San
Diego |
|
Can't
argue, I have doubts about Rivers too; however, I would have
drafted D Williams |
| 18 |
82 |
Miami |
|
Can't
argue, however, I like D Williams better |
| 19 |
83 |
Pittsburgh |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 20 |
84 |
San
Francisco |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 21 |
85 |
Kansas
City |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 22 |
86 |
New
England |
|
Mistake,
with Graham and Watson, Thomas is a luxury, L Williams or Dobbins
would be good ILBs in the Pats 3-4 scheme |
| 23 |
87 |
Baltimore
|
|
Agree
with selection |
| 24 |
88 |
Carolina |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 25 |
89 |
Carolina |
|
Mistake,
are OTs I like better such as Scott and Whimper |
| 26 |
90 |
Tampa
Bay |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 27 |
91 |
Cincinnati |
|
Mistake,
Anderson is a future star at DE who would have been a steal at
this spot in the draft |
| 28 |
92 |
Dallas |
|
Can't
argue, but Wilkinson is still on the board (see last round) and D
Williams is also available |
| 29 |
93 |
St.
Louis |
|
Agree
with selection |
| 30 |
94 |
Indianapolis |
|
Mistake,
Nande is custom made for the Colts defense |
| 31 |
95 |
Pittsburgh |
|
Mistake,
D Williams should have been pick as a receiver, McNeal or Robinson
could have been intriguing as QBs moving to WR |
| 32 |
96 |
N.Y.
Giants |
|
Can't
argue, because he is good value, but Watson would have been my
pick |
| 33 |
97 |
N.Y.
Jets |
|
Mistake,
the Jets are deep and have quality at safety, I would have gone
Watson as a NT, or Harris as a 3-4 DE. |
