Looking ahead to the NFL draft, its like christmas for me .. really next to the superbowl and the divisional championship games there is not a single NFL event I watch more intently.
Assuming that the 5 worst teams well… will keep on loosing what would your picks look like? This is what I foresee even before the bowl games and combines…
1.) Rams Jake Long Michigan OT Comparable to: Joe Thomas
Of all there problems (and there is plenty) the offense line of the Rams has been the worse. It is odd to see a lineman taken 1st overall but this is a major need with the status of a number starting lineman like Orlando Pace up in the air plus, there is (to me) not a good enough Defensive player to go 1st overall.
2.) Dolphins Glenn Dorsey LSU DT Comparable to: Warren Sapp
This guy can be the centerpiece of any defense and the Dolphins could use nearly anything on Defense. Currently, he led the LSU tigers amazing defense, which has yielded the fewest points. Dorsey can greatly improve the ‘Phins defense and keep O’linemen out of the secondary.
3.) Jets Calais Campbell Miami DE Comparable to: Mario Williams
Well, he may not be has polished as his contemporary upper classman Chris Long, he defiantly has the upside. So far the Jets have 9 sacks that is 29th in the league and it safe to say there defensive is in a sad state of affairs. Were some will claim that sacks are a meaningless statistic I would reply but pressure and field position aren’t so I think that the Jets would be wise to take Campbell whose length and speed on the edge will greatly improve there defense.
4.) Patriots* DeSean Jackson California WR Comparable to: Lee Evans
Hear me out; first off do to the trade to get this pick it is just plain highway robbery. Second it is unknown how much longer Randy Moss will be with the Patriots in the long run. Jackson would be the perfect insurance policy in case Randy wants more money when the pats win enough super bowls to make everyone physically sick.
5.) Falcons Andre Woodson Kentucky QB Comparable to: Donovan McNabb
The Falcons need a QB and it depends on who there sweet on Ryan or Woodson, I probable go Woodson though he has a powerful arm and impressive vision on the field.
He is mainly a pocket passer, which may fit the Falcons new system. He has a NFL legit deep ball and has tremendous poise.

Firstly , I would like to apologize in advance for offending anyone.
I'm very offensive its my gift ... and my curse.
I live in Upstate NY, which automatically makes me loyal to New York teams.
I'm a Huge Football fan live it , play it , breath it. But I watch basically every sport that is on tv or ESPN.
But I prefer any team that gels and plays with great team chemistry.
Most of what I say is either meant to be Ironic or a Contrapositiv e.
It's all in good fun.
