Huddled Masses Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hmmm...Mel Kiper's latest mock has Donte Whitner going #16 to the Dolphins. Just 2 weeks ago when I took him in this draft at #15(Falcons) I took some heat because he wasn't even listed on ESPN's Top 32. Mel thinks he can play corner at the NFL level which is what I felt when I selected him. Of course, things have changed since then and the Falcons no longer have a first round pick but at least now some more people are realizing that this guy is a bonafide first round pick. Gloating over...flame away. Cromartie isn't the only versatile defensive back in the first round. Michael Huff of Texas will initially be a cornerback in the NFL, but played safety in college; Ohio State's Donte Whitner played safety at Ohio State, but could be corner at the next level or a great cover safety; and Jason Allen was both a safety and corner at Tennessee. The true cover cornerbacks in the first round are Johnathan Joseph, Tye Hill, Ashton Youboty, Kelly Jennings and Richard Marshall. The other noticeable change is how far the running backs (Laurence Maroney, LenDale White and DeAngelo Williams) have fallen, but it has nothing to do with their productivity. Arizona (10th pick) and Minnesota (17th pick) were looking at running backs in the first round before addressing those needs through free agency (the Cardinals signed Edgerrin James and the Vikings grabbed Chester Taylor). One player from the Big Ten who has fallen is Penn State defensive end Tamba Hali. He didn't have great individual workouts; still, you cannot question his body of work on the field. Hali could still go late in the first round, but if he doesn't, a team will be getting a steal in the second round. My Big Board will be updated the second week of April, while the next first-round projections will come out on April 17. The final projection will be April 28, the day before the draft.

budlitebrad Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I was waiting for someone to steal Wroten in the second, but I got lucky. Or maybe I'm the only one who thinks that this guy is a beast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd1 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I thought about Wroten, but already got Ngata. I also thought about Tapp, but we already have an undersized pass rushing DE. I was trying to think like Al Davis and find some 'freak' who has world class speed and no football skills, but couldn't really find one to take.

I did that some in the 2nd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
