FFMD 2 - Draft Thread

[GRRLacher]

If you are still interested in joining a staff please go to that team's FFMD War Room and let the GM know, or PM the GM. He will fit you into any remaining open positions, if they are all full you can still be a scout.

For a list of the GM's and their staffs click here.

For a list of of approved trades and to see which players each team has on the trading block click here.

During the last FFMD several teams posted pictures of the player they picked, and this is fine (and even encouraged) but I ask that you keep the pictures to a reasonable size. Lots of large graphics slow the load time for this thread tremendously especially for the members that have dial up.

A quick reminder that player/pick trades during the draft need to be PMed to JCool333 or GRRLacher at least 24 hours before the draft pick involved in the trade is slated to be made. This is the only way we will have enough time to get them looked at by the trade council. Draft day trades that are pick(s) for pick(s) do not require 24hrs, they can be approved by JCool333 or GRRLacher on the spot since they are simple calculations using the DVB. The more time you give us the better though since we aren't on 24/7 (although it does seem like we are at times ;) )

In addition to the graphics please feel free to add a paragraph about the player you chose, and how he fits into your team if you would like.

As always, please feel free to PM JCool333 or GRRLacher if you have any questions or concerns.

Be sure to check Spiel's Draft Spiel and Dabs' Deep Dish for the latest draft rumors, news and interviews.

With the first overall selection, the Houston Texans select Reggie Bush RB USC.

Why?
Reggie adds another weapon to the offense, and is a once in a lifetime player. He played his butt off in college, and we look to see the same here in the pros. Congrats to Reggie, and ourselves! Saints up.

With the 2nd pick in the 2006 NFL Draft the St. Louis Rams select AJ Hawk Outside Linebacker, Ohio State

Why I think that this a no brainer for us we have no SLB and AJ can play any LB position with the same greatness and with a division full of Running backs AJ will be a perennial pro bowler

The Titans select QB Matt Leinart, out of USC.

With the #4 overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft...




D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia

This pick is a no brainer. OT is our biggest need, and D'Brickashaw Ferguson is an elite prospect at the OT position. After the top three went as it did, we knew from the second we were on the clock that D'Brick was going to be our pick. He'll be a perennial pro bowler for us for many years.

[Packerraymond]

With the 5th pick in the 2006 NFL draft the Green Bay Packers select:
















Mario Williams DE NC State


Why?: No doubt he was the best player available for the Green Bay Packers, he brings a pass rush to our defensive line that we didn't really have last year. We were #1 against the pass and feel that adding a monster end will help us get even better and force more turnovers. We really didn't think he would be available for this pick but when he was it was the easiest choice we've ever made. Mario Williams should take a starting spot right away and become a canidate for rookie of the year, we are happy to have him aboard as a Green Bay Packer and are looking forward to finnishing out the first day strong.

Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland

With the 7th pick in the 2006 NFL draft, the Oakland Raiders select...



Vince Young - QB - Texas



Photoshop image courtesy of packerraymond



I think with this pick, we get what we haven't had since Rich Gannon left. A leader with the ability to move around and escape the pocket. Leadership and athleticism second to none. The uncany ability to win the big one. I feel as though he is the best player available, and will learn well behind Aaron Brooks to become the new leader of the Raider Nation

With the 9th Overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft... The Detroit Lions select.

OLB, Ernie Sims out Florida St.

-Sims may not have been the BPA, but he fills a big need - and he's really not that far off from BPA. He's a great athlete, a leader and is very quick. A perfect fit for the Cover 2, we believe he'll excell in our defense and hopefully have him play in the Inside.

With the 10th Overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft... The Arizona Cardinals select:

Haloti Ngata, DT Oregon

The Cardinals decide to go with BPA with this pick.

[LSUSAINT]

With the 11th overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft the New Orleans Saints select...

Brodrick Bunkley, DT, Florida State




Photoshop image courtesy of packerraymond

Reason: Defensive tackle is a major need for the New Orleans Saints. Bunkley is a stong interior lineman. He may be better suited for the one-gap scheme but he has the frame to add weight and be a force in the two gap. Either way, Bunkley is an upgrade at the defensive tackle position.

[DaBrowns41]

The Cleveland Browns select:

Winston Justice- OT- University of Southern California



Reasoning:

Well, we are going to need a replacement in a few years and he will be a great fit...

With the 13th overall selection, the Baltimore Ravens select Antonio Cromartie, DB, Florida State



We love Antonio's potential and passion. We are excited to have him and he will be used in a variety of ways to improve our already stout defense. We see yet another probowl first round selection for the Baltimore Ravens.

[Davey]

With the #14 overall pick in the 2006 NFL draft...



DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis

Our staff(mainly coachraf) has been working the whole day to try to get a deal for DeAngelo. Now 10 hours later, we finally get our guy.

I think coachraf says it best.
