I still dont think you have Oaklands pick right..I think they will take a WR or an OL...I dont think chiefs will take Crabtree either...he might ever fall cuz of his injury right now.

you still have stafford going #1.... i don't think that will happen but i have been wrong before...

lol Crabtree is going wayyyy too high up there. He's gonna have to drop a few spots cuz of injury. Mark Sanchez won't drop down to the Bucs, but I hope so. But I'd take Darius Heyward-Bey anyday. 4.3 baby.

First order of business - I don't think that Crabtree will fall because of his injury. The same things were said about Jonathon Stewart last year, but he was still a top 15 pick. He will also be healthy for training camp, and even if he's not he has shown that he will play through an injury (see all of last year). There's also the fact that not many (if any) top prospects have fallen in the draft because they are currently injured. I can't think of one in fact.

Second order of business - jp, I think Oakland should also go OL or a WR (only if Crabtree is there, I doubt Maclin goes that high). But if Raji is there, he would be a great pick for them. They currently have no quality DT on the roster, and especially no good NT. Add in the fact that Kelly might be cut because of his contract, and they really need an interior lineman. Raji can play either the UT, NT, or DE (in a 3-4). He's a great prospect and is just slightly below what Ngata was when he came out.

Third order of business - I really hope the Lions don't take Stafford #1. I just think that they will because the Golden Rule in the NFL is take what could potentially be a franchise QB if you have the opportunity and you don't already have one. I've even seen some scouts say he's one of the elite players in the draft, but IDK. Here's a link to one of the most highly respected draft analysts view on Stafford (I think he was once a NFL scout). Another thing I just read was the the Lions didn't even attend Jason Smith's pro-day, and that he struggled with a drill involving his lower body strength...

Fourth order of business - Mark Sanchez is really the wild card for me. I think the most sense would be for the 49er to pick him, but they are rumors that they are happy with Hill and their other QB's... but I think the Golden Rule should apply here also. After 10, he could fall. Since I don't predict trades, I think he'll actually fall to TB. The Jets already have a stable of young QB's and they really like Ratliff. The Bears have already stated that Orton will be the QB and they are very happy with him. If I did predict trades, I think somebody would jump up and get him. IDK who that would be, but I would bet money that someone jumps into the top 15 (ala DEN getting Cutler a few years ago).

colts wont draft a DT

LOL. Who else do they have? ... Nobody. Jerry is the ultimate fit for a Cover 2, and it's a big need.

I know Raji will be good but if Oakland dont start scoring points they will neve be good again...32nd in pass!!

I'm not saying Crabtree is gonna make a significant drop out of the top-10, but I don't think he will go as high as the top 5. As the Chiefs will not risk their pick for a possible injury WR, he also fell short of his height mesurement, which is 6-1 instead of 6-3 he described. Kansas is already have a young WR in Dwayne Bowe and a good TE Tony Gonzalez. No doubt Crabtree is talented, but I think he'll fall to the Raiders as they would be in a more desperate situation to pick him than the Chiefs.

About Mark Sanchez, there is always a possible chance that he will fall down to the Bucs(I hope so). since A-rod did fell a couple years earlier from #1 prospect to 24th. Though, I think the Jets will probably take him since they need a guarantee in a franchise QB.

Matthew Stafford could possibly go with the Lions, but they might not want to risk a young QB and pay a huge amount of money on a first-pick. They could possibly test out Daunte Culpepper this year and go with an O-lineman, but that is still questionable since Coors said that they didn't attend Jason Smith's pro day. If Stafford doesn't get drafted, he might get a big fall to possible 10th overall to the 49ers or possibly a pick for Seattle if they want to secure a QB just in case something happens to old-man Hasselbeck.

And yeah, Colts probably will go with a DT, or Percy Harvin for a slot WR since now that Anthony Gonzalez probably will start and Percin would be great for a slot WR.
