Regarding the Rams' pick of Greenway, I think it's a bit of a reach still, but we are filling a need with the best available prospect at that position, so I don't really have a problem with it. Would just rather see us get better value, and I think I'd be more okay with it if we weren't passing up on Ngata in the process.

No its not its DeMeco:tut
He could be a reach but than again every pick in the draft is a reach.
Re: Mel Kiper's 3/31/06 Mock Draft
i would pick ngata in that situation...

I'm still trying to figure out how he went from top 10 to possbile second rounder.

The pro days by Sims, Carpenter and others.

Re: Mel Kiper's 3/31/06 Mock Draft
Mel has an encyclopedia for a head regarding stats and players coming out of college, but his draft predictions are mostly crap....and what's with that hair?
Re: Mel Kiper's 3/31/06 Mock Draft
I think the FIRST 10 of Kiper is DEAD on. I've said before that the Cardinals and Denny Green want the QB of the future and one would probably slide that far.
#11 is too early for Greenway.
Detroit doesn't want to spend a top-10 pick on a safety especially in their scheme; however, he's the best player available and they wouldn't get good value by taking someone like Justice (OT) so early.
Everyone knows I think we can pull off a deal with Detroit for Huff.
---------------------------
What concerned me was reports that Chad Greenway lacked lower body strength. Linebackers that have enjoyed GREAT college careers, but couldn't make the grade in the Pros are all too common.
We better be damn sure Greenway can stand up to NFL Guards, Tightends, and Fullbacks when they run right at him.
It sounds like he'll do fine in pursuit, but we don't need any more Linebackers that can't stand up to a pounding running game.

Thats the thing though. Where were these guys on the field against weaker competition than what DeMeco faced? They were not as impressive as him. His combine wasnt too bad at all. A 4.65 in the 40 and 23 reps of 225 isnt bad.
I just cant figure out how DeMeco Ryans went from top 10 pick to being selected after Ernie Sims. If that does happen, someone is getting a steal in the second round.

When was Demeco Ryans ever a top 10 pick?

I agree. Thats RJ39 fo ya sometimes atleast. I've been a Iowa homer but have never said Greenway was a top 10 pick. I know he isn't that gooodl.
