This year in the 2006 Nfl draft it appears that there are more safe picks in round 1 than in years past. Even with the top five to ten players there seems to be more stability with some of these players. Reggie Bush will go number one and Mario Williams will go number two. That may be the way it goes down but, we may have someone other than the New Orleans Saints picking at two. New Orleans hold a key piece to the puzzle of what will happen in the top ten.
The Vikings and Rams have both expressed interest in Detroits pick at number nine to move ahead of Arizona and take Jay Cutler from Vanderbilt. Detroit is interested in Michael Huff and that will factor in what they will do with the no.9 pick. They also like Ernie Sims the LB from Florida State. He has had five concussions and that will be a risk factor for which ever team drafts him. The upside is that he is compared to Derrick Brooks from Tampa Bay.
The Jets are rumored to like Matt Leinart, but D'Brickshaw Ferguson may be the safest pick in the entire draft. Besides the Jets just traded for Patrick Ramsey and already have Chad Pennington. They need someone to block for these guys is what they really need. Look for the Jets to take D'Brickshaw Ferguson with their first round pick.
The Bills appear to be willing to trade out of number eight but maybe they should take Cutler. I havent exactly seen a Buffalo quarterback light up the league since Jim Kelly.
There are some good picks that are available outside the top 10 as well. However the good news for NFL fans. This draft class appears that it will make an impact on tomorrows NFL for the better. The question is who will be this years Andre Ware and who will be this years Tom Brady.
