Re-Draft: Draft Re-Do Halfway Through 07

[AsthmaField]

Didn't see this anywhere... It's kind of interesting. Basically McShay is saying if the first two rounds of the draft were held right now with what we know about the draftees, who would take which players.

He thinks Dallas would still take Spencer at that same spot. Interestingly, he thought that Atlanta would take Folk in the second round.

Also, he thinks Cleveland would take Adrian Peterson instead of Joe Thomas.

Duh!

Anyway, here's the link. Enjoy: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=mcshay_todd&id=3098817

Here's what he said about Spencer:

26. Dallas Cowboys -- Anthony Spencer, DE, Purdue

Original pick: Spencer
An argument could be made for going in a different direction -- either another edge rusher like Jarvis Moss or a different position entirely with S Brandon Meriweather. However, Spencer has already notched 20 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and shows the potential to eventually emerge as a disruptive rush-linebacker opposite DeMarcus Ware.



Here's what he said about Folk:

41. Atlanta Falcons -- [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=8432"]Nick Folk[/URL], PK, Arizona
The Falcons took CB Chris Houston in April and he shows promise, but Folk has been sensational as a rookie and the Falcons desperately need an upgrade over aging PK Morten Andersen.

Why in the HELL would we take Moss over Spencer?

McShay is an idiot. His stuff is routinely bad.

Duh!

I'm not convinced even of that. Thomas has been fantastic for the Browns and top-notch LTs are hard to find. I don't think Cleveland has any regrets about their pick.

Also safety is not much of a need right now. There are other positions that are more in need.

Folk is ours and you better believe Jerry will ensure at the appropriate time to ensure that he remains ours for years to come.

Am I nuts for thinking that AD would go first overall if there was a re-draft?

It seems a no-brainer to me.

I am also nuts then.

JRus? The guy held out and hasn't seen the field yet.

Interesting stuff...if meaningless.
