I know we are all much smarter than Kiper...and his hair. Post you're mock top 10 picks.
Here's mine:
1 Oakland Raiders JaMarcus Russel/QB/LSU (of course, Al Davis can screw this one up)
2 Detroit Lions Gaines Adams/DE/Clemson (although, would it surprise anyone if they picked Calvin Johnson...another WR? The Lions kind of hold the cards in this years draft. TB wants Johnson, so the Lions could move down with the Bucs, or take Johnson and work a trade with them...either way this is a chance for Millen not to screw up a first round pick...but, he probably will)
3 Cleveland Browns Adrian Peterson/Stud/Oklahoma (a lot of "experts" say they will go with Quinn, but if they are smart, they know they can win NOW with AD. As of April 20th, Brown's GM Savage wants AD over Quinn.)
4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Calvin Johnson/WR/G'Tech (probably the best player in the draft, and may end up in Detroit, but if not, the Bucs would be foolish not to take him here.)
5 Arizona Cardinals Joe Thomas/OT/Wisconsin (don't be surprised if AD is still on the board, he could very well end up in Phoenix...mark my words!)
6 Washington Redskins LaRon Landry/S/LSU (Look for a possible trade with Detroit to move up the board if they don't stay and take Landry. There's also the possibility of trading down to pick up LSU WR Dwayne Bowe, whom isn't expected to be a top 25 pick)
7 Minnesota Vikings Brady Quinn/QB/Notre Dame (the "experts" think AD falls to #7, I think that's just stupid. They need a QB more than a RB.)
8 Atlanta Falcons (from Houston) Levi Brown/OT/Penn State (there have been rumors that the Falcons could take AD if he falls this far...yet another bit of wishful thinking by the Falcons. No way he falls to #8. A more likely scenario would be for the Falcons to take Okoye)
9 Miami Dolphins Amobi Okoye/DT/Louisville (I think this is the best defensve player in the draft, the kid is so young, with amazing physical ability.)
10 Houston Texans (from Atlanta) Alan Branch/DT/Michigan (May seem crazy to add another young D lineman to the Texans, but it may not seem so crazy in a couple of years.)
A rumor has surfaced here (in Denver) that the Broncos are feverishly trying to work a deal with Detroit to get the #2 pick. I personally don't think it'll happen, but they very well could end up tading up to #8, 9 or even 10 to try and pick up Okoye...which they badly need)
