Are we at the point that we know how the top 5 will go?

[cobra]

It seems like, as we approach the draft, we know how the top 5 is going to go.

#1. Houston Texans - Reggie Bush.
#2. New Orleans Saints - Mario Williams.
#3. Tennessee Titans - Matt Leinart.
#4. New Jersey Jets - D'Brickashaw Ferguson.
#5. Green Bay Packers - A.J. Hawk.

Obviously if there are some trades, this could get messed up. But if everyone stays where we are at, is there any real argument that the draft would go differently than this?

 

[Avery]

I wouldn't be so sure. N.O. could still trade down or take Ferguson instead. If they do, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Titans go VY and then the Jets take Leinart.

This draft is anything but concrete at this point. The only safe bet is Bush going #1.

 

[Derinyar]

I think theres a good chance that Leinart and Young go back to back.

As Cowboy fan I try to figure out who will be gone for sure when we pick at 18. Here is my "for sure" list.

1-Reggie Bush
2-Da Brick
3-Mario Williams
4-Matt Leinart
5-Vince Young
6-AJ Hawk
7-Vernon Davis
8-Michael Huff
9-Winston Justice
10-H. Ngata
11-Broderick Bunkley
12-Jay Cutler
13-Jimmy Williams

The rest are up for grabs..... imo.

from what i have seen and heard Williams is falling, a lot. he more in the 15-20 range now. but of course anything could happen.

I'm almost betting Jimmy Williams falls straight out of round 1. Some on the field concerns combined with what appears to be attitude problems is going to drop him like a rock.

 

[Pokes28]

And I wouldn't put Winston Justice in the "for sure going to be gone list." Just because he had a great workout doesn't erase some of the question marks.

I agree...he's been massively overrated for some time...add to the above the painfully avewrage workouts and reports of him being pretty stupid (ie, had major problems at S getting people in the right positions and making the right calls) and you get a guy who will drop like a rock on draft day

honestly I doubt this guy is even on the Cowboys draft board...seems exactly like the kind of player Parcells loathes

I'm glad about that. Those guys either straighten out and become something great or, more likely, disappear into nothing.

I don't really think Justice is a lock either.

 

[Canadian BoyzFan]

He will not last past Arizona. Anyway, I stand by my list.....I'll come and eat crow if I'm wrong.

 

[bobbie brewskie]

leinhart will go to tennessee before VY just because the QB coach there worked with leinhart before.

i hate to see bush being the 1st overall but its gonna happen just like you said:
bush
williams
leinhart
young
hawk

 

[Displaced Cowboy]

I have yet to figure out why New Orleans will take Williams.

Cowboys have made that mistake once dont think they will do it again. They just cant pass on Williams he is just that good assuming he does fall to us.

he wont fall out of the first since 4 teams between pick 18 and 24 are in need of a DB, and dont count us out so that makes 5 teams right where he is projected to go. hell be gone in the first, but allen wont.

Jimmy Williams

Draft Exchange Analysis:
An extremely talented young player who could make a major impact this fall ... Spent his freshman season learning the free safety position under veteran Willie Pile ... Saw increased playing time as the season progressed and led the team in tackles during the Hokies' San Francisco Bowl win over Air Force ... Is a big, physical safety with cornerback skills ... Has confidence in his abilities and is not afraid to challenge a receiver ... Benefited from his game experience in the fall ... Picked up things quickly during the spring and settled into the position ... Plays aggressively and always seems to be around the football ... Needs to get stronger, but has good speed and athleticism ... Should continue to get better with additional playing time ... Has the ability to become one of the top young players in the country if he stays healthy ...

YIKES!!!!!!

Lets get a grip. Jimmy Williams isn't a Randy Moss level talent, if he was they would be projecting him up further. Very few people have said that about him. Most have him as a bottom half of the 1st type of player. The players with bottom half of the first type talent that have issues frequently slide further than that.
