NFL Draft 2005
Last year I correctly nailed both the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills draft picks, (see blog post 4/23/2004)
Where I said that the Falcons would take Deangelo Hall and the Bills would take Lee Evans with their forst picks.
It is going to be much harder this year because the Falcons pick 27th overall and the Bills pick first in the second round 55th overall, if I go 2/2 again I may have to really consider being a draft-nik and start my own cable television NFL insider program.
Atlanta Falcons
I do not see them being big time movers and shakers in this years draft. I would be surprised if they moved up any picks, if anything they might trade out of round 1 for extra picks in the later rounds or extra picks next year which they say will be a much better draft overall in terms of talent. This is the year that they protect their 110 million dollar investment Michael Vick.
I say they go offense, specifically offensive tackle and take Khalif Barnes OT, Washington (if available) Their wide receivers are fine, they will be better when Vick looks for them downfield, Their wide receivers are fine, they will be better when Vick looks for them downfield
They will take care of the Defensive line in the later rounds
Buffalo Bills
Forget about MIke Mularky or Ralph Wilson, This is Tom Donahoe's team, THe best thign about Tom Donahoe is that he never allows any of his teams (steelers in the 90's bill's in the 00's) to be dependent on any one player to blow the salary cap because they are so valuable. THey knew Travis Henry was going to have high demands when he rushed for back to back 1300 yards, they knew he would not be worth the money so they drafted McGahee, Sayonara Travis. This year they are going to draft a cornerback with their first pick, why? Nate Clements is in his contract year great player but not elite, which is what he is going to want in his new contract. Elite money. They will draft a Corner to put some pressure on the negotiations and to have a solid backup plan.
Although confident about the position the pick is difficult because it is late in the second round, I will guess Marlin JAckson CB Michigan He may be available then, Don't be surprised by a trade back into Round 1 or early 2 possibly including Travis Henry in the deal to get a higher rated CB.
well lets see if I can get it right 2 years in a row
