Top five draft picks

[TN_Titans_05]

I agree with the 1st four. If the Packers can resign Kaufman they have him and KGB, and would be much better served grabbing AJ Hawk at number 5.

Another possibility would be if the Jets have lost faith in Pennington and trade up to take Leinart. I just don't see them trading up for Bush, because everyone knows Houston is behooved not to take a QB or RB. Without trades, Bush could very well drop down to the Jets, and unless someone below them made noise about trading up with Tenessee or New Orleans, they should stay put.

1. Matt Leinart - Jets (from Texans)
2. Vince Young - Saints
3. Reggie Bush - 49ers (from Titans)
4. D'Brickshaw Ferguson - Texans (from Jets)
5. AJ Hawk - Packers

Agreed completely

God I hope the titans do not trade down

it might be the best Idea for us since we need MUCH more than 1 player. Plus we could still trade down and get Cutler later in the first. Can you tell Im not sold on Young?

2 things.

#1 - The Jets probably won't trade up, because they have so many needs.

#2 - If they do happen to trade up, they would, without a doubt, take Reggie Bush. They CAN'T take a QB with the #1 pick because they couldn't afford it, since pennington is going to cost a whopping 15 mill against the cap this year.

Whoever gets Cutler and late 1st/early 2nd will come out better than spending a higher pick on Lienart/Young.

The Titans could trade down and pick up Cutler late 1st along with filling other needs.

I agree it would not be smart for the Jets to trade up, but if they do, why would they take any RB? Given how many RBs are available, guys like Edge couldn't get dealt for a 2nd rounder last year, and someone is going to pay a premium of probably two years consecutive 1st rounders to acquire Bush? No way. Especially they would not trade up for Bush, because if each of the three teams ahead of them did what is best for them, Bush would fall to Jets anyway.

I thought draft position dictated the cost of the contract on rookies? QBs typically get more, but they also tend to go higher in the first round. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but wouldn't not being able to afford Leinart mean they simply can't afford the #1 overall whomever it is?

Finally someone who sees the light!

It would be very difficult for the Jets to take a QB in this draft if Pennington is still on the roster. There would be way to much money tied up in the QB position and kill the rest of the team which needs some major help on offense. Best bet is the Jets trading out due to Pennington's status and contract and the Jets cap situation. Although by April the cap situation could be in a better situation.

Cutler won't be a late first rounder, he probably won't make it past the Dolphins at 16, and that's if he even makes it there.

No, but the Titans could still trade down to the 6-10 area and almost certainly get Cutler.

Yes but thats not late first like the original post said.

I like it to go like this:

Texans Shock the world and do the right thing by taking Ferguson.

Saints grab Lienart. They don't touch young. They already tried that experiment.

Titans stick with the pick and take Bush.

Jets grab Young.

Packers grab Hawk.

Thats my 2 cents.
