I was going to pick Johnson for the Titans - I'm shocked he was picked. He's the guy that the pre-draft conventional wisdom police have ganged up on this year, but I was impressed when I saw him play on TV and I think he's going to blow up in the NFL.

I'm not sure how he gets on the field with Omenyiora, Tuck, Kiwanuka, and Canty all ahead of him on the depth chart but that's not our problem.

With Johnson and Harvin off the board, the Titans fall back to taking a hometown prospect for their position of greatest need:

DJ Moore, CB, Vanderbilt

He'll compete with 35 year old Nick Harper at CB, return kicks, and maybe play some offense too.

The Titans shouldn't you be taking whoever the best WR is?

Well building a football team with no threats outside is always a good plan.

Since Jeff Fisher became coach in 1994 they have taken 1 WR in the 1st round (Kevin Dyson, 1998) and 1 WR in the 2nd round (Tyrone Calico, 2003).

Everyone cried for them to take a WR last year too. They then went 13-3 and got beat in the playoffs mostly because Chris Johnson got hurt.

They just signed Nate Washington to start opposite Justin Gage, and Lavelle Hawkins is a promising slot man - that's enough for a run-based team that likes to feature the tight end in the passing game. They might sign or draft 1 more but it's not nearly their biggest need.

Their biggest need by far is CB - where Harper will be 35 next September, and last year's #3 and #4 corners left in free agency, and then it's DE - where Vanden Bosch and Kearse are both on the wrong side of 30 and in the last year of their contract.

Nate Washington a starter...The Titans are like the Chiefs use to be how depressing.

Arizona is in a nice position this year in that while they are not loaded at every position, they also don't have any glaring weaknesses. Resigning Warner today is a great move, and along with franchising Dansby, signals that the front office feels this team is capable of putting together another playoff run.

Arizona lost JJ Arrington early in free agency and Edgerrin James continues to demand an outright release because of his diminished role. Without those two we would basically place the season's hopes on Tim Hightower, a decent 5th round pick from last year. If it came to it, I am confident we could make James happy by making him the starter, but frankly I think it's clear he's lost a step.

So after analyzing our current roster and comparing that to how the draft is unfolding, I feel now is the time to make a move to solidify the RB position.

For the 31st pick of the draft, the NFC CHAMPION ("whoooooo" clap clap clap) Arizona Cardinals select.......LeSean "Shady" McCoy, RB, Pitt

I gave consideration to waiting until later to take someone like Shonn Green or Arian Foster, but having the chance to take a premium RB talent like McCoy with the 31st pick was too difficult to pass up.

McCoy is a versatile talent that be used in almost any set and his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield is what we feel separates him from the other top backs in this draft class.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out Edge.

Speaking of RB's...I bet CJ Spiller is kicking himself in the ass for not coming out after all those shitty 40 times.

Is it time for Duke?

The Franchise 03-04-2009 06:51 PM

I know I broke one of the cardinal rules. I also knew that 3 of the next 10 teams may take Mack meaning I'd have to settle on Wood or Cadwell later in the draft. Harvin to me wasn't worth it, I'm glad OTW took away the V. Davis decision for me. So for the Vikes it came down to filling their hole at C or taking DJ Moore.

Direckshun 03-04-2009 07:07 PM

Hey P23...

You've got holes at power RB, TE, and LG.

Had that first pick never happened, would you have been open to what we "joked" about earlier?

LJ, Waters, Tony G, for your 1st and 5th.

milkman 03-04-2009 07:09 PM

I like that Shady draft move by the Cards.

Strengthens a weakness in their offense.

Michael Johnsont to the Giants is pretty questionable.

As long as your drafting against Matt Millen.
