stan Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Was watching sportscenter at 6pm today (Saturday) and Mcshay and Kiper did a mock draft of the first 10 picks. One of them did the odd number picks and the other the even number. Lions-Stafford Rams-J.Smith Chiefs-Curry Seahawks-Sanchez Browns-Crabtree Bengals-Monroe Raiders-Maclin Jags-Raji Packers-A.Smith 49ers-Orakpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyve accumulated many backers in the off season... enough to shore up that position this season.. They need a playmaker in the pass offense... Gonzalez is aging and Bowe is the only wideout newly acqured Cassell may have confidence in.. Seatle trading Julian Peterson for a DT so they would definately take Curry at that spot over Sanchez imo.. Browns would could take the wideout the Chiefs pass on leaving the Bengals a vast array of choices... Hopefully they take Maualuga and get their Olinemen in rounds two and three...

WhoDeyBabe Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I think KC takes Curry. The fact that they were desperate enough to sign Zach Thomas shows how much they are hurting at the LB spot. Zach Thomas is beyond done. He sucks now.

Peterson had to go... they wrapped up way too much money into one general area of the defense. I do not see Seattle drafting Curry AT ALL. It would put them in the position they just worked themselves out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't even read it yet but what he said about Warren was pretty off. Since it's 7 years ago it really lets you get an idea of how good he is at evaluations.
