I like this for two reasons.

1. They've got us picking 14th, which would be a big improvement over picking 4th

2. They've got us taking a LT (finally)

Personally I think Michael Johnson is gonna blow up and be a really high pick.

He is my underclassmen to watch this season. His athleticism is off the charts.

We will see where our needs lie. I hope Mario Henderson can take the LT spot. We gave up 2 3rd's for a reason. Time to do something kid. If he stinks then I have no problem taking a LT but I would like to get a DE. Namely Michael Johnson or if a NT is available and Sands sucks again then that would be my pick.

So they have the Pats and the Cowboys in the SB? Funny to see that the Chiefs picking at #1 and the Donkey picking before us. Might be a bit early to start 2009 Mock Drafts but that is just me LOL

Al Woods will be the highest NT taken in awhile I think. I could easily see him being a top 10 pick.

HAHA the chiefs picking number 1 and in tha picture C.Wells looks like JaMarcus.

Why in the world would the raiders pick that oversize man to play LT in ZB..

I would go Heyward-bay..god damn that would be alot of speed on offense.

You can be a big lineman and play in a ZBS, you just have to be quick and agile. I haven't seen Loadholt play but Andre Smith is big and he has the quickness and agility to play in the ZBS. The Panthers use a ZBS and they drafted Otah, so I guess we'll see how that works.

As far as Heyward-Bay, I'm sick of drafting skill players. You can't win in the NFL building a team around CBs, safetys, RBs and WRs. Our team is light in the pants, we need some more meat on us. If we don't go LT we need to get a DE or maybe a MLB. I don't want to draft anybody under 250 lbs in the 1st round next year.

It's crazy seeing Knowshon Moreno up there. Dude played against my HS not too long ago and tore us apart lol. Averaged like 5 td's a game lol

Phil Loadholt isn't an ideal LT in the ZBS.. Max Unger would be a better fit if they were going to draft an OT.

Phil Loadholt isnt even a LT in the NFL..Just like that OT from Pitt this year..he will be on the right side..and Phil Loadholt got abused in there bowl game and got exposed.
