NFL Draft

The position they were picked in reality matters not, just semantics.

The problem I have is that for most of the year Mario Williams was not even considered the top player on his own team and now he is supposed to be the #1 player in the draft?

I think this is where the draft goes all wrong. Many base way too much on stats in workouts. Some football players do not have great stats in those workouts. I mean look at Tom Brady and Zack Thomas. Two great players that did not measure up in the draft bacause their stats were not there.

I fully expect Mario Williams to be a bust. He has a lot of pressure on him to perform now since the city wanted Bush or Young. He has a huge target on his back.

 

I do agree that the scouts put too much importance on the workouts. It's kind of funny - I think three NC State defensive linemen were drafted in the first round. If they were all really that good, why was NC State so mediocre last year?

 

I believe that part of the reason that Houston picked Williams was that they wouldn't have to pay as much money to him as they would Bush. Williams was thrilled to be the #1 pick and accepted less money than Bush would have if he were the #1 pick.

 

I have absolutely no clue what the Chicago Bears were doing. They used almost all of their picks on defense and some of them were major reaches. They passed on taking a TE when TE was supposed to be a strong point in this draft. I would give the Bears a C at best.

 

Seahawks

Training camp is just around the corner.Apperantly with the draft and the free agent signings the seahawks have done well. I'm thinking they are going to have another great season.
