Title: Dirk's Entire First Round
Post by DirkDiggler on Apr 24^th, 2003, 10:18am

1. Carson Palmer, QB, USC--Bengals I can't screw this pick up! Will he really not play for a year??

2. Charles Rogers, WR, Mich State--Lions Detroit brings in a local fan favorite with tons of skill. Will thrive with Harrington for years to come.

3. Andre Johnson, WR, Miami--Texans Bringing in the someone to grow with Carr. Will the Texans be the sleeper offense of the year?

4. Dewayne Robertson, DT, Kentucky--Chicago or trade partner Best D-line man on the board, but Chicago needs the picks so expect a trade.

5. Terrance Newman, CB, Kansas State--Cowboys(or Saints) Top Corner in the league. New Orleans needs CB help bad so expect a trade. IF the Cowboys select him, they would rival the Eagles secondary.....

6. Terrell Suggs, DE, Arizona--Cardinals Unbelievable he falls this far. Cardinals would love to bring in a home town player for the fans.

7. Marcus Trufant, CB, Wash State--Vikings (or trade partner) Vikings need major help on Defense. Trufant is second best corner with a huge distance between him and #3 corner. Since Vikes need help, I would not be surprised to see Vikes trade with Patriots.

8. Jordan Gross, OT, Utah--Jaguars They have to try to make the fans forget Boselli somehow.

9. Kwame Harris, OT, Stanford--Carolina Carolina is going to try to get out of this spot. Wanted Gross

10. Byron Leftwich, QB, Marshall--Baltimore Chris Redman? PLEASE. Raven fans heard rejoicing around the world.

11. Jimmy Kennedy, DT, Penn State--Seahawks Seattle needs someone to fill up some space on that line. He is the man.

12. Boss Bailey, LB, Georgia--Rams He is a freak of nature athlete whose speed will fit in perfectly with the Rams D

13. Kevin Williams, DT, OK state--Jets Strong inside rusher.

14. Jonathan Sullivan, DT, Georgia--Patriots Pats need to get much younger on Defense.

15. Wayne Hunter, OT, Hawaii-- Chargers

16. Jerome McDougle, DE, Miami--Chiefs Need Defense help BAD.

17. Troy Polamalu, S, USC--New Orleans Speedy secondary for the Saint if they get him.

18. E.J. Henderson, LB, Maryland--Saints Best LB in the draft in my opinion. Knows how to play the game.

19. WILLIS MCGAHEE, RB, Miami--They can wait a year for him.--Patriots

20. Eric Steinbach, OL, Iowa--Broncos

21. William Joseph, DT, Miami--Cleveland

22. Kelly Washington, WR, Tennessee--Jets They need to replace Coles. He just might do it.

23. Chris Whitten, TE, Tennesee-- Bills Best TE in the draft. Was best receiver on Tennessee last year. YES, better than Kelly Washington.

24. Andre Woolfolk, CB, Oklahoma-- Colts Dungy gotta make that D better. This is a nice start.

25. Michael Haynes, DE, Penn State-- Giants What, the Giants not going after someone on special teams? Giants may move up to middle of draft to get a DT. They need Offense and Defense Line help in this draft.

26. Taylor Jacobs, WR, Florida-- 49ers Need a 3rd reciever on that team especially with Streets possibly being traded.(would not be surprised if they took Boller)

27. Larry Johnson, RB, Penn State-- Pittsburgh. I think think spells the end of The Bus in Steel town.

28. Bryant Johnson, WR, Penn State--Titans Speed and depth added to receiving corp.

29. Rex Grossman, QB, Florida--Packers Packers get their QB of the future.

30. Chris Kelsay, DE, Nebraska--EAGLES Talk of a TE going here, but they REALLY need a DE.

31. Jeff Faine, C, Notre Dame--Raiders Maybe he won't go out drinking before the Superbowl. Also, NFL thinks he will be able to play both tackle positions.

32. Ty Warren, DT, Texas A&M--Raiders Seal up both lines. They also need cornerback, so don't be surprised to see Bethune Cookmans corner go here.

Nice projections! A lot depends on draft day deals though! I do agree that the Eagles will take a DE. TE's will be available later in the draft! (Unless Whitten falls to them!) Nice work!

Thanks!!! ;D

I can't wait til Saturday.

The one thing is I do not have Boller even going in the first round. I just don't think NFL teams are that dumb to draft someone in the first round who wasn't the top passer in his conference. I do have Grossman going to the Packers, but I am not even if that will happen.

I guess we will know Saturday evening......

I have a feeling Kelsay won't be available for the Eagles though! [smiley=awwgee.gif]

very nice job............good details on each pick............But there is no way...Kyle Boller doesn't get drafted in the first round..........Deserved or not........there is way to much hype on this kid.

You are probably correct. I have my biases. I just couldn't do it. IF he goes anywhere, I see him going late. Maybe Pittsburgh OR San Francisco.

I like to compare Boller to Jim Drunkenmiller. I think the 49ers will draft 'em both and both suck.

I sorta agree. I think it is a crap shoot which Def Lineman will go. After Robertson and Kennedy I think it is 6 one way half a dozen the other. Not much difference between them at all. I do know the Eagles need a DE and this draft is heavy at that position. Someone of quality should fall to them.
