FalcFans Forums

Looking at next yrs draft I thought I would post this from GBN who they predict will go in draft and the order. Notice alot of off linemen PLEASE Mckay draft some dang off linemen.The Falcon smurf off line cannot match up with the big athletic talented def linemen of the NFC at least in pass blocking. Alot can change in one yr but this seems like a very good off line draft and maybe since the falcon's nearly have the defense built will turn to the off line for once in 16 yrs?

(1) Oakland gets the #1 pick from San Francisco for the Raiders 1st round picks in 2007 (#3) and 2008.
(2) Washington claims Virginia LB Ahmad Brooks with a 1st round claim in the 2006 summer supplemental draft.

Notice only Balitmore and Oakland draft 1st round QBs.Where does Schaub go next year,Minneosota?

Peterson screams bust too me for some reason.

Minny, Cleveland, Washington (Brunell doesn't have much in the tank), or Oakland.

It is possible that Schuab turns into the modern version of Chandler. Bounces from team to team and more or less keeps the starting spot warm for the rook (like the situation at Tennessee).

Well considering they said this year was going to be a really strong OL class, and only 3 OL got drafted in Round 1, and 16 on Day 1, which compares to 4 in the 1st round last year and a total of 16 on Day 1, means this year's OL class turned out to be exactly the same in terms of perceived strength.

Next year, they are probably saying is going to be a strong WR class, and it probably will be compared to this years.

As for next year's potential draft, my early favorite to go 1-2-3 will be Quinn, Peterson, and a WR like Johnson or Jarrett.

I expect Calvin Johnson to go 1 or 2...

It's not everyday you see a kid that's 6'4 230, runs in the 4.4's and has great hands...he's gonna be a beast in the NFL...

next year is supposed to be a strong year for RB's too...but I don't usually get this far ahead in scouting..

a lot of things will change between now and then

Just another reminder of why it's so difficult to predict a draft a year in advance, a good example of this is Jonathan Scott. Scott was considered a potential 1st round pick for most the past year until this past off-season, where many felt he would still be a first day pcik. But Scott wound up falling to Round 5, and now is going to play LG for the Lions.

As for Johnson, not doubting his skill, but everyone was saying the same about MIke WIlliams prior to his coming out, and he didn't quite have the speed that many experts felt he had in his early days at USC. Based on recent years drafts, if you run slower than 4.45 at the WR position, your stock drops like a rock.
