The Houston Texans opted instead for defensive end Mario Williams, pulling one of the biggest shockers in recent history. They signed the North Carolina State standout to a six-year, $54 million contract, with $26.5 million guaranteed Friday night, hours before the start of the draft Saturday. |

Miami was supposed to go D here - but Chad Jackson would be a good value here.

Chargers would be pretty happy with Jackson.
Cowboys with a surprise, but a hell of a player in Carpenter. Prolly move him inside eventually.
Please keep falling Manny Lawson!! No way he gets by KC though (unless they go WR with Holmes or Jackson)

3 Buckeye's in top 18 and a chance for 6 1st rounders. How'd they ever lose a game?

Other thought would be that SD goes with Cromartie.

They didn't lose many. How'd FSU lose with 3 of the top fifteen?
KC going to take Lawson - dangit! (please take Hali)

Yeah - i think Cromarie's the right pick for SD.
If lawson's gone - I hope the bengals trade down with someone wanting a WR or maybe with the Texans wanting a RB or WR or possibly Winston Justice. How 'bout Texans #2 and #3 for Bengals #1 - Texans take Winston Justice. Sound sgood to me.

Cromartie could be a steal. That's who I had the Bengals getting at 24.
Now I'm hoping for Manny Lawson or Jimmy Williams or even better a trade down.

Sat, Apr 29, 2006, 11:49 I think the Steelers are going to move up 10 spots or so if Santonio Holmes is there to get him. They have 10 draft picks from some suplementals that they picked up and they are ready to use them if the right guy is there.
Genius SW, GENIUS...

I was thinking I wanted Lendale White for the Jets 3 picks from now, but now I don't know. Jimmy Williams, Youbouty... wouldn't mind a WR like Chad Jackson or Sinorice Moss (Coles/Moss II?!).

Bill Polian is the best GM in the league. If he thinks this Addai guy is a better bet than White, than who am I to argue.
ESPN was talking about many many issues that has scared teams away. Some I hadn't heard until today.

Didn't even realize Winston Justice was still available. Thats what many mock drafts had the Eagles taking in the 1st round... for them to get him in 2nd! well done.

I believe the Jets blew it in the third round. Haven't heard anybody talk about this yet but Brian Calhoun should have been the pick, they traded down and probably thought no one would pick the RB, Schlagel was a reach.

Nice call SW - #5.
It was nice to see Steelers get one of the top WR's in the draft. A.RE was a decent role player but he would not have been a starter on most teams.
I know WR's are usually one of slowest positions to make an impact in the NFL but I guess I am still a little surprised that the first WR didn't go until Pitt picked. Was it really that weak of a draft for WR's this year?
To the Vikes, you never know on draft day, but is this one of the worst draft teams there is? Most of the folks I talked to are in disbelief at their choices yet again. One staff writer said after their second pick in round two, "if this was a fight, they would have to throw in the towel". Now that is funny. Who are these guys and how can you reach for a player at 50 something that isn't in the top 100 for most boards. Then they trade two number 3's for Pitt's second round pick. MN is not a player or two away from the big game. They need bodies to come in and make the team and hopefully start in a couple years from now. Your third round picks should make your squad. Giving up two thirds just didn't make sense to me especially for who they went with.

Apparently Washington disagrees with your assessment on AR-El!
Lendale White going at 45 is telling. Either a HUGE steal or a wasted 2nd rounder. He had more TDs than Bush. If he gets his act together he could be a very good pro.

Real happy with the Philly picks. I even like the Div. 1-AA guy in the 3rd, as he projects at strong side LB, not DE.

Some very interesting stats regarding the draft "experts":
John Lund, AM Drive host at 1270 WXYT in Detroit, with help from Mike Sando of the Tacoma News Tribune, looked at 17 mock drafts and came up with these odd stats:
• The only consensus pick was Reggie Bush #1 to Texans...all missed.
• On average the "expert" was 4 for 32 in right team / right player picks.
• On average "expert" picked 26 of the 32 players picked in the first round regardless of team.
• Every mock had Winston Justice in first round. He went 39th to Philly in 2nd round. Jarrett Bell of USA Today and Don Banks of SI.com had him 8th to Buffalo.
• Every mock had Chad Jackson, WR Florida in the first round. He went to the Patriots in the 2nd round, pick 36th overall. Most had him going to Denver at # 15.
• Frank Croyle of Dratfinsiders.com (Ha!) and Chris Colston of USA Today picked 1 player/team combos correctly. Croyle picked Nick Mangold to the Jets at #29. He was the only expert to go 0 for the first 10 picks. He went 0 for the first 28 picks. Colston picked Vernon Davis to the 49ers at #6 and missed 26 straight.
• The draft God, Mel Kiper picked 5 correctly and had 26 of the 32 players in the first round in his mock.

The guy on NFL network, can't remember his name, had it right up to pick 11 (Thats when I stopped watching so it may be a lot more then that) aside from the Mario Williams/Reggie Bush picks.

The Bills are insane.
Agreed.
They are always a bit unconventional, and they do need some different personnel to go with a new scheme, but that's no reason to throw away obvious value, picking dudes 10 picks (at least) too early.
They needed linemen. They got DBs. Maybe they can stack them on eachother's shoulders.

Re: 78
Does anyone know if anyone has compiled a team's "grades" and compared it to their record over a certain time period?
It doesn't take into accout free agency, but good or bad drafting should have some relationsip to a teams record.
I'm a Colts fan so I'm biased,but the Colts usually get a low draft grade. Granted they haven't won a SuperBowl, but they have had a good record over the last 4-5 years.
The Colts and Polian have been mocked for not making the "smart/expert" pick, but I have to think they have turned out ok i.e. Manning/Leaf, Edge/Ricky, Freeney/whoever.

re 86...Wow, that is incredible!
re 83...The Bills did reach a bit on their first pick, but got GREAT value on their later picks that made up for it. I would have liked to see a good OL picked up somewhere, but I am generally pleased with what they did.
I heard today on the radio that it would make the most sense to Grade Drafts 5 years later...and I agree...it takes some players longer to develop than others, and who can really tell who is going to be good before they actually take to the field, that is why there are busts and sleepers!

#86- He got the first two picks wrong. Williams went first, not Bush.
I don't think the Bills reached on Whitner. He is definite first round value and should be an excellent playmaker for them, but I do think they could have traded down and still got him. I read specualtion that they thought Detroit or another team was looking at Whitner so they didn't gamble on trading down.

I meant to add this to the last post.
In the ESPN's 2006 NFL Draft First Round Forecast there were several people who got 12 of the first 13 picks correct, with the only wild-card being Whitner. Lots of people guessed Bunkley was going in that spot.
