Yes, we still need to draft offensive linemen, but I don't think that 1 OT is going to impact our line as many people around here do. |

I seriously considered Dingle, but his age and that fact that he transfereed to a small program to put up his numbers were too concerning to take a chance. The Rams go with the safer pick and select, MLBer from Illinois, Big 10 first-team, all-american, Jeremy Leman. The upside is too much to pass on. Leman was the heart and soul of that Illinois defense.

Good pick, I think. Only thing that concerns me is that your pass rushing may still be lackluster because that's apparently the biggest knock on Leman, that he's not that good of a pass rusher.
But I'm all for improving the Rams' D, and you picked as good a position and player as any. |

With the 172nd pick the carolina panthers select DE/LB Chase Ortiz from TCU.
CAroliana has gone under the plan of taking BAA no matter what the position. chase gets after the qb and has a motor that doesn't stop. With some coaching could be special. Also having watched the giants rotate DE the panthers feel they could do the same. |

I saw Leman play live last season against Wisconsin and the kid had a heck of a game. Tore it up against Ohio State too.

Thanks, Direckshun. You're pimping of Ortiz allowed for the guy that I had rated higher to possibly slip towards the Vikings. As we all know, the Vikes have a horrendous pass rush, and although Philip Merling is a nice start, he's not going to completely solidify that line in 3rd down situations. This is a guy, who with proper coaching, could be a very effective situational pass rusher. Had he played at a D-I school, he probably would have gone a round or two earlier.
With the 173rd pick in the NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings select Brian Johnston, DE Gardner Webb

sorry to burst your bubble hamas but I liked ortiz in the earlier rounds. I just wasn't sure about the tweener lable. But I figured it's a 6th rd pick.

Please remember to pm the next person on the clock and to mark your picks in BOLD.
Jason Elam is a Falcon. The Denver Broncos select from the University of Wisconsin, kicker, Taylor Mehlhaff. |

My Eagles are up. Here's how we've drafted so far:
1. WR Limas Sweed 2. MLB Curtis Lofton 3. OG Eric Young 4. OLB/SS Wesley Woodyard 5. RB Mike Hart 5. CB Terrence Wheatley 6. ... The Eagles chew on a few options at this point: QB Dennis Dixon is not an option because the Eagles are satisfied with Kolb. Kolb is our current QBotF with Feeley and McNabb around to make things interesting. SS Jamie Silva is around as well to make things interesting at the SS position if desired. Woodyard has a future at the position, better speed, and more impressive upside, but Silva would be a great guy to slip in the rotation. You can never have too much help at CB, and Darnell Terrell would make for an interesting project -- his size and speed are right, and Philly's intrigued. The Eagles, however, will soon be in desperate need of passrushing and are in a situation where they can grab a couple different guys that can make some noise. All they have at the moment is Trent Cole, as Kearse was cut and Howard isn't far behind. Now, the Eagles just signed Chris Clemons, who was a great situational rusher for the Raiders and they are on the hunt for a good workhorse DE in the 6th. The best option on the board initially seems to be DE Johnny Dingle from West Virginia. Dingle only had one year of production at West Viriginia but he was relentless; he was difficult to run at and he consistently found penetration. Dingle's rapid development intrigues the DL-loving Eagles, who believe they can perhaps immediately place him across from Trent Cole and rotate Clemons in for obvious passrushing situations. Ken Iwebema was also a consideration, but the Eagles need a consistent passrush and Iwebema's a lunchpail guy. They also loved Buffalo's Trevor Scott but he's a situational guy and Clemons already fills that role. With the 175th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select DE Johnny Dingle from West Virginia University. |

Direckshun, the Eagles better pick up Scooter Berry when he hits the pros.

![]() It depends if we get it done soon enough and I've got time to kill around that time. I'm not going to do anything cool like that after the ACTUAL Draft of course, nor will I be doing it the weekend of at all because I'll be out of town. But I may put some pizzazz in there if the situation calls for it. |
