I will start it off with my NY Giants

1. Eric Berry - it's a massive long shot but I have to include him. It is possible that a safety could slip a bit.
2. Earl Thomas - Huge need at safety for the Giants
3. Gerald McCoy - Suh would obviously be the best option but I expect him to go in the top 2. Giants have Fred Robbins and Barry Cofield will be FA's
4. Rolando McClain - I think Antonio Pierce is extremely overrated and he needs an eventual replacement.
5. Sean Weatherspoon - I like this guy a lot and think he will be a tackle machine in the NFL!!
6. Brandon Spikes - same as #4

I think it is almost impossible for the Giants not to go defense unless someone falls unexpectedly...

Great idea Dan!

My wish list for the Buffalo Bills:

1a - Russell Okung, OT
1b - Trent Williams, OT

If we draft a top flight tackle with the first pick, I'll be happy. Trade up if we have to, or trade down to get 1b/1c.. just do something Buffalo! When we passed on Michael Oher last year, I literally fell to my knees when Maybin's name was called.

2 - Terrance Cody - Or whoever the next best available DT is after Suh. Stroud is getting up there and isn't the demon that he used to be. It would take some pressure off of our crappy LBs. I'm hoping we use more of a 3-4 defense next year.
3 - Jimmy Clausen - Obviously there's no way Buffalo will get more than one of these guys, but we need to grab a QB in round 2 if a good one is available. New coach, new QB... let Edwards rot on the bench for awhile and see if he shakes the cobwebs off.
4 - Any LB. It doesn't matter. I haven't put enough thought into who might fit, but we've needed better depth at that position for awhile now. I've seen a lot of diehard Bills fan say that Poz isn't the answer. But I still think he's pretty solid and would benefit from a better surrounding cast.
GDF3
QB- Vick, Freeman, Hasselbeck, Yates
RB- Foster, McCoy, M Bush, Ben Tate, R Jennings, Alex Green
WR- Wallace, TBMW, Colston, Boldin, Collie, Amendola, Washington Roberts, Doss
TE- Gates, Cook, Carlson, Heap, Shiancoe
K- Cundiff, Novak
DL- Abraham, J Smith, James Hall, R Quinn, Keiser
LB- Poz, DJ Will, Vilma, Wake, Rivers, Mays, Irving
DB- Polamalu, Berry, Delmas, C Woodson, M Griffin, T Thomas, Byrd

As a Browns Fan :(


1. SUH - The Browns might draft 1st overall so this could work
2. Jake Locker - I'm still not sold on Brady Quinn
3. Sam Bradford

- If they trade down from 1st or 2nd overall
1. Eric Berry
2. Colt McCoy
3. Taylor Mays

Not Jimmy Claussen! :lol:

Since the Bears don't pick till the second day, grabbing a big name/impact guy is almost imposible, so the only college guys we can hope for are Bates from USC or Weis from Notre Dame. There from the college ranks, so they sort of count right. ;)

i would prefer a sure thing std RB.. but since in guaranteed a top 4 pick i think ill be unable to turn down teabow or mccoy
QB - DWatson(HOU)Minshew(JAX)Darnold(NYJ)
RB -NChubb(CLE)DHenry(TEN)JTaylor(IND)Gurley(ATL)
WR -DHopkins(ARI)ACooper(DAL)CGodwin(TB)OBJ(CLE)
TE - HHenry(SD)DGoeddart(PHI)
K - Zurlien(LAR)Crosby(GB)
Def - ARI DAL
[rookie] Haskins(WAS)DSwift(DET)Jefferson(MIN)MHardman(KC)
7th pick in 2021

Rosters must always be 3qbs 4wrs 4rbs 2tes 2kickers 2dst and protected players don't take up a roster spot, but are only for rookie/2nd-year players that were drafted

Start with these two and the Browns have a very successful draft.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Pittsburgh Steelers

In order of preference:

1. CB Joe Haden - would be a gift.

2. NT Terrance Cody - the eventual replacement for "Big Snack" Casey Hampton.

3. OL Anthony Davis, Rutgers.

4. WR Golden Tate or Mardy Gilyard - would be a dynamic kick returner and eventual starter across from Holmes.

I've heard from a scout who covers the Seahawks that Suh projects very well as a 3-4 DE in the mould of a Richard Seymour type of player in that he would fit the Browns system very well. If that's true, I'd have to think CLE considers pairing him w/ Shaun Rodgers and Corey Williams to create a pretty formidable D-line. I had thought Suh would make a good 3-tech, but this scout (kyle rota) seems convinced otherwise.

suh can play in any defense, and in ANY gap. hes big enough and strong enough to play in either one... depends what you want to use him for... do you want to use him in a 3-4 and have him eat up double teams... which free up ur linebackers to make plays... or do you want him in a 4-3, making his own plays... just depends what team drafts him... i dont see him getting past the top 5 picks in the nfl draft.
