If every player was available to draft...

Interesting article on yahoo. They did a mock draft of every player in the NFL and where they would go today. if you ask me they did an awfullllll job. what would your draft look like? here is theirs. I am just astounded how bad their draft is. How does Sanchez sneak in their? Brees not top 10? The guy who did this draft should step into my office, cause he's ****ing fired!!! When I get some time I'm gonna think about this, but I'm interested in what you think, even if just your top 5-10.

1. Detroit Lions – Larry Fitzgerald, WR.
2. St. Louis Rams – Peyton Manning, QB.
3. Kansas City Chiefs – Tom Brady, QB.
4. Seattle Seahawks – Matt Ryan, QB.
5. Cleveland Browns – DeMarcus Ware, OLB.
6. Cincinnati Bengals – Ben Roethlisberger, QB.
7. Oakland Raiders – Chris Johnson, RB.
8. Jacksonville Jaguars – Albert Haynesworth, DT.
9. Green Bay Packers – Joe Thomas, OT.
10. San Francisco 49ers – Adrian Peterson, RB.
11. Buffalo Bills – Nnamdi Asomugha, CB.
12. Denver Broncos – Ryan Clady, OT.
13. Washington Redskins – Jay Cutler, QB.
14. New Orleans Saints – Drew Brees, QB.
15. Houston Texans – Mario Williams, DE.
16. San Diego Chargers – Jared Allen, DE.
17. New York Jets – Patrick Willis, MLB.
18. Chicago Bears – Jon Beason, MLB.
19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Ed Reed, FS.
20. Dallas Cowboys – Carson Palmer, QB.
21. Philadelphia Eagles – Troy Polamalu, SS.
22. Minnesota Vikings – Kevin Williams, DT.
23. New England Patriots – James Harrison, OLB.
24. Atlanta Falcons – DeAngelo Williams, RB.
25. Miami Dolphins – Shaun Rogers, DT.
26. Baltimore Ravens – Terrell Suggs, OLB/DE.
27. Indianapolis Colts – Eli Manning, QB.
28. Carolina Panthers – Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, CB.

Why would Arizona take Sanchez? They still would have Warner and Leinart. Dallas would take an injured Carson Palmer over Romo? Detroit would take another WR over P. Manning or Brady? Oakland would take Johnson over Peterson? That list is a joke.

No Rivers, but Arizona takes a rookie who has not had one snap in the NFL. Bet me.

When I read the title I was like wow this is really interesting. I mean each team clear slate starting over and the first ****ing pick I see is Fitz to Detroit and I was knocked on my ass like I had been hit in the face with a shovel. Clearly the guy writing this knows nothing and he is basing this on the Super Bowl he watched last year. There are maybe a handful of picks in this that make sense and people going where they belong.

1. Detroit Lions – Peyton Manning- Never had a franchise qb in Detroit would be fools not to take one here, and Manning would be the guy.

2. St. Louis Rams – Tom Brady- This is assuming he is coming back at 100%, cant argue with 3 rings guy just gets the job done and more importantly he is a leader.

3. Kansas City Chiefs – Drew Brees- Think if this scenario ever happened teams would go with qb 1st and build their franchise off of the proven qbs. Brees= points=fans in the stands something KC needs.

4. Seattle Seahawks – Big Ben- Not what I would do in this spot I think as a qb he is a little overrated as he has always been carried by a solid running game and a league best defense, but NFL teams love this guy so he'd be a top 5 guy off the board.

5. Cleveland Browns – Adrian Peterson- You can grab a serviceable qb in the 2nd or later, but you can not pass up AP at 5. He is young and just a freakish athlete. If the guy stays healthy, which I believe he will with the emergence of 2 back systems, he will be recognized as a top 10 back of all time. Plus since I believe qbs are most important I dont think another qb deserves top 5 consideration bc not many other than the top 4 have proven much at this point in their careers.

All I have time for now, but this is tougher than I thought it would be. I think qbs are vital to a teams success and when you have these proven qbs its really hard to pass them up. I would expect qbs to dominate round 1 with about 10 going in the 1st round. Going to continue this when I get some time.

Pretty angry that I just went in and finished this thing but did edit instead of new post so it timed out. I'll finsih later. So tough will all the talent in the NFL and so many differences of opinions on where to start a team OL, DL, QB etc. I would find it tough to argue a lot of picks but I do know Chris Johnson is not a top 10 pick esp over AP and you dont start at team, with a clean slate at WR.
