I was interested to see where you might DeShaun Jackson going in the draft. I think he's a pretty darn good bet to declare, and somehow I have a hard time seeing him falling out of the first two rounds (though he is kind of small).

Did you just leave him off the list, or do you have him lower than these rounds? If you have him lower, is there a reason other than size? His 40 is likely to be stellar and he's got plenty of special teams value as well as pretty polished routes in a semi-pro system.

I rather see Miami taking Dorsey since, bad as their offense is, their defense is just a complete joke and that starts up front.

I'm about 50/50 on New England taking Darren McFadden.  Hard to pass up a talent like that, but it seems like a waste since they have a perfectly good HB in Laurence Maroney.  What they seem to need is help in the linebacking corps, since Vrabel and Bruschi aren't getting any younger.  That would probably mean Dan Connor...but can you justify taking him that high?  Then again, when you have so few holes as the Patriots do, you can take what you need no matter the pick.  I can also seem them trading out of it.  But I'm talking myself in circles.

Bold prediction:  The Jets take McFadden or Malcolm Kelly.

Deciperhing Al Davis' mind is always tough.  I know Al would be tickled to have the Son of Howie.  Then again, if DeSean Jackson comes out he might go here because, Davis being Davis, the Raiders seem never to be able to pass up a tall receiver with blinding speed.  They should draft defense though...but how is Chris Long against the run?  It's the interior of that line that's weak, so I think they should so Sedrick Ellis.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Baltimore make a play for Andre Woodson...seems like he'd be a good fit there.

Finally, I'm very glad to see someone else putting Colt Brennan to the Rams in round 2, which is exactly where I have him pegged.  What a great fit he would be with the Rams' offense!  With Bulger there to mentor him for a few years, he might make a Tony Romo-like impact when he debuts down the line.

I can live with that. Nice work.

Also, McFadden on the Pats ... What's the record for the most games won in a 2-year span? Has anybody ever won 38 in a row?

At this point, I think it's 50/50 whether the Pats take
McFadden if he's available or if they try and trade down to take a LB, their bigger need. The Pats philosophy is always to take the best talent available at the slot, but they really need defensive help next year. On the other hand, McFadden would be incredibly tempting to take and the Pats have two third round picks (including a likely early one from Oakland) that could be used to shore up the defense.

Reagardless though, I can't see the Pats taking two running backs.
