Hello and welcome, another draft is over and it looks like there are some top prospects
in this year’s draft. So let’s start by discussing the top five picks in this year’s draft.
Shannon gives us your opinion on the top 5 picks in this year’s draft. Well I’ll start with
Jamarcus Russell who was drafted out of LSU and was drafted by the Raiders; this kid
can throw the ball so far and can move around in the pocket. His size means it will be
virtually impossible to sack him and he is coming of a very nice season and Sugar Bowl
with LSU. He got his two receivers drafted in the first round this year so he’s good.
Calvin Johnson was a WR at Georgia Tech and was drafted by the Detroit Lions.
This young man is probably the best athlete in this years draft and is a very good player.
In college he was able to beat double coverage which proves how damn good he is and
he can run at 4.35 which is very good considering he is 6-5 239 pounds. Joe Thomas the
Tackle out of Wisconsin was drafted by Cleveland and is a very good player. He is big and
an excellent pass blocker. He is also quite quick for a tackle so he can get down field and
make the blocks. Hold on there Shannon, just before you talk about Gaines Adams lets
talk about the decision by the Browns not drafting Brady Quinn. Coach what did you
think about this move. Well Boomer Brady Quinn is a good talent but how can you
pass on a guy like Joe Thomas. They read the draft well and still managed to get Brady
Quinn later so it was a good decision as I think Derek Anderson could have a break
out year this year. Sorry Shannon continue, Gaines Adams the defensive end out of
Clemson. Extremely good pass rusher and is very quick. He will come off the snap very
quickly. Not very big which means he isn’t that great against the run. Levi Brown was
drafted by the Cardinals and is out of Penn state. This guy really improved over the last
two months before the draft with big performances. He is big and smart and is a big
asset to the Cardinals line. He has the potential to be one of the best linemen in the NFL.
Thanks Shannon. We had a discussion earlier and we all agree that the player to watch out
for in this years draft class is and that player is Adrian Peterson. His elusive speed and
power makes him one of the best players in the NFL. The only reason he was drafted
lower was because of his injury problems. Now I know 7 does not sound low but he
has the talent to be the best player in the league. So another year is about to begin so
before we go we will say who we thought had the best draft. Key: Browns,
Shannon: 49ers, Coach: Colts and I am going with the Ravens. So long
The Ravens Draft for 07
1st Round: Ben Grubbs, G, Auburn, will start right away, good run blocker but tends to get confused on pass blocking, good pick up for Baltimore.
2ndRound: Yamon Figurs, Wr/Kr, KansasState, very quick and will return kicks and punts for the Ravens. Can’t catch definitely a special team’s guy.
3rd Round: Marshall Yanda, T, Iowa, struggles to pass block, average run blocker.
4th Round: Antwan Barnes, Lb, Florida International, very agile and quick, knows how to sack to the Quarterback.
4th Round: Le’Ron McClain, Fb, Alabama, good run blocker, will start right away, good at the short yardage plays.
5th Round: Troy Smith, Qb, OhioState, Heisman winner, has potential but will need work, quick and elusive, very short for qb which is why drafted so low
6th Round:Prescott Burgess, Lb, Michigan, has experience in big games, not very big will play in special teams.
