2008 Draft and Other moves.....

Offense:

1. RB - I think we need to replace Deuce. This would be a priority for me because Bush can't do it. You could pick up a veteran bruiser (like Ducket, my only veteran choice) or take one in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft (like Forte from Tulane) 6'1", 225 lbs. He's gonna be a bruiser somewhere and he's already used to playing in the dome. Keep Stecker, Thomas and Branch.

2. TE - no need here, Johnson and Miller have this one under control.

3. WR - we need a bookend for Colston, not a burner but another tall WR with good speed and great hands. Keep Patten. Trade Henderson.

4. QB - sign Daunte Culpepper and let Martin go.

5. OL - trade Deuce and Henderson for 2 quality offensive lineman or both for one great one. Re-sign Evans.

6. PK - Mare and Gramatica are gone - I would sign Bironas from the Titans.

Defense:

1. DL - we were pretty good at stopping the run this year until other teams starting killing us with the pass. I would sign Haynesworth and re-sign Wynn and Young. #2 draft pick Dre Moore, DT out of Maryland. He's 6'4", 300 lbs and his 40 time is 4.82. Need I say Moore, LOL. I thought that **** was funny too.

2. LB - I would sign Mitchell from the Giants, re-sign Simoneau and release Fincher.

3. S - sign Hamlin from the Cowboys, release Bellamy. Harper, Hamlin and Special K fight it out for the 2 starting spots. Bullocks and Reis can back them up.

4. ST - re-sign Evans.

5. CB - saved the most important for last. Sign Samuel and Gay from the Patriots at all cost. Big Mac might not be back until 2009, if at all and these 2 guys have played together and that gives us a measure of consistency right from the start. Sign James or Scott from the Patriots to replace the roster spot left open by Big Mac. Release Thomas and David. #1 pick in the draft Phillips, Safety, Miami. He can play CB and Safety.

with our 4th through 7th round picks (maybe minus #5 or #6 for the veteran kicker) we take LB's and CB's. I would take it something like this:

4th round - Vobora, Idaho, OLB, 6'1", 240 lbs, 4.51 in the 40 or Bo Ruud, Nebraska, OLB, 6'3", 235 lbs, 40 time 4.62. Brother of Barrett.

5th round - Andy Studebaker, Wheaton, OLB, 6'3", 245 lbs, 40 time 4.49.

6th round - Alexis Serna, Oregon State, K, 5'8", 170 lbs, made 22 or 29 in 2006, making 4-of-6 from beyond 50 yards with a long of 58.

7th round - Terrell Vinson, Purdue, CB, 5'9", 183 lbs, 40 time 4.43.

Now if this doesn't make us better I don't know what will, maybe a new coach?

Golf and sex are about the only things you can enjoy without being good at them.
