You'll be waiting quite a while unless they make a trade. Just route for your divisional rivals to make bad picks.

I'm not sure why all the mock drafts have the Aints picking Leinart after they just got Drew Brees. Since they knew their draft position before they did sign him, it seems to me that they did that for the sole purpose of not having to draft a QB in the first round.

I do wonder about Carpenter suddenly being out of the first round. He's been high on a lot of boards up until this one.
The only way Ferguson doesn't go at #2 is if the Jets trade up and take Leinart with that pick.
As for Young if the Titans don't take him who will?
To: Doohickey
I think if the Jets stand pat at #4 they'll take Ferguson if he's still there and if he's not they'll grab A. J. Hawk.
To: Doohickey
Because Brees might not be ready at the start of the season, in fact given his injury he might never come back to form and he's no spring chicken either way.

Oakland....
Arizona
STL
Baltimore :)
yeah that thing about Carpenter mystifies me. UNless someone just came up with a need that suddenly appeared (and we haven't heard about)....

yeah that hasn't made any sense.
What better to surround your new prized QB with than a new HUMONGOUS LT who will be there for the next 15 years...
They've already lost Bentley. The Aints need help on their line as much as Houston does.

I'd be really surprised if they did it.
To: MikefromOhio
I hadn't heard about the Rams being interested in him.
To: Owl_Eagle
Mine has not come yet, it seems it comes later every year and I think the quality has gone down. Now most of the evaluations seem to just repeat stats and accomplishments from the media guides. I like Mel, but with all he is doing for ESPN I think he might be overstretched.
Any thoughts on other draft sources? I use PFW, Ourlad's and the ESPNInsider stuff but any other good sources would be appreciated.
To: MikefromOhio
Stud left tackles don't grow on trees either.
To: mainepatsfan
Think about it.....he's good on short throws, he has mobility and he isn't fragile....
In short he's everything Marc Bulger isn't :)
But I don't think he will last that long either.

Kyle Boller. Yup! I love that line about how he can throw the ball 60 yards from his knees. It's just like when you hear an Offensive Lineman can bench press 225 Lbs. 48 times. When that stuff becomes a part of the game of football, they'll be really good players, until then...
You have my sympathy on Boller. All teams blow draft picks, see the Eagles selection of John Harris, but when it's a QB, that can give you half a decade of misery.
What do you think of all the rumors about Air McNair becoming a Raven? I generally don't like that stop gap approach, but if they can and do grab a Cutler or maybe a Brodie Coyle in round two, it might not be a bad move.

You think he'll be a Raider?
To: mainepatsfan
I think their first pick will entirely revolve around what Brees' doctors say that morning.

I don't know.
I guess it depends on how tight Al Davis's headband is during his workout the morning of the draft.
I'd be really surprised if they drafted him, but the Raiders are known for those off the wall picks.

I kind of liked the Boller deal because to get him they gave the Pats their #1 pick in 2004 which they used to take Vince Wilfork.
To: discostu
I just can't see them going QB after signing Brees.
To: MikefromOhio
That they are. Then again some folks thought that Marcus Allen was a reach when the Raiders took him.
