Jenny AU-92 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I am SO GLAD the Houston Texans didn't do all that great this year - they need a running back DESPERATELY and I am going to start flooding their GM with emails recommending he pick Ronnie or Caddie!!!!! That would come close to my dream NFL team - David Carr at QB (**SIGH!!* ) and one of my guys at RB. Wow. I'd become the world's biggest Texans fan overnight.

TitanTiger 20,511 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Ah, but the Titans get to pick before you! I want them to grab Ronnie! We'll swoop in and grab him. You can have Benson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolltoomer 0 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Doesn't surprise me that Brown is listed first, being so versatile. Don't know if Kiper looked at who had picks 1 & 2 and their needs, but if you need a running back, Ronnie brings some bonus talent to the table. So many commentators commented on his having the "best hands on the team". Don't know if I necessarily agree with that--I'd pick Courtney--but he is good, as we all know.

auburnspice 21 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I love the Texans and that would be great to have Ronnie or Caddy in the backfield. I look for the Dolphins to select one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,511 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I've been saying since the first of the year that Ronnie would be drafted ahead of Carnell. Either one will do well, but Ronnie's body is more of the NFL prototype. Carnell is perceived as a Warrick Dunn type with more power and strength.

AuNuma1 1 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 David Carr at QB (**SIGH!!* ) Carr...is this the younger guy with the full beard? You think that's attractive for a younger guy? Or am I talking about some other QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 i don't expect the dolphins to go for benson. something about drafting a texas running back just wouldn't sit well with the fans i don't think. i expect carnell and ronnie to be taken in the top ten b/c every team in the top eight could use at upgrade at tailback. and carnell has plenty of size for the league. he's as big as: tiki barber, clinton portis, priest holmes, or even emmit smith. he's bigger than guys like dunn (who had a great year).

chinook 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 is this mel's actual draft order or his top 25 prospects entering the draft? i question this because there is only 1 quarterback. isn't oklahoma's "heist"man winner a 1st round canidate? what about utah's qb? i would think the 49'ers, who i believe get 1st choice, would take a qb.

aucowgirl98 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I would think that Carlos Rogers would go before Ronnie or Carnell in the draft. With the season they have had I know that they all will go pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk@AU 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Kiper's page hasn't been updated lately. Not since the bowls and not since Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith announced they'd be going pro. I still don't think they'd go ahead of Ronnie or Carnell....But if Leinhart goes pro then San Fran will take him (West Coast) or Miami will trade up for him. Miami won't take another Texas back in my opinion...Saban knows how good Ronnie and Carnell are! Don't forget about Mike Williams...he's a definite top 5 pick! I think Ronnie would fit well into Gruden's offense in Tampa Bay....his backs catch a lot out of backfield. 1. SF - Mike Williams or Leinhart (Maybe Benson) 2. MIA - Mike Williams or Leinhart (Maybe an AU RB) 3. CLE - Benson if he's there. 4. CHI - Need WR - Mike Williams if he's there. 5. TBAY - Ronnie Brown 6. Tennessee - Carnell Williams and then Jason Campbell in 2nd Round! That would be Ausome! Don't forget about the free agent RB's that will be available for these teams to sign: Rudi Johnson - CINCY and Shawn Alexander - SEA. I think Miami should sign one of these guys and draft Mike Williams..they'd be loaded then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuNuma1 1 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Ronnie or Carnell to Miami under Saban?...how tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auferg 0 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Jason White isn't near the top of the list for QB's. Campbell is ranked higher than White. Top of the list is Leinhart, Rodgers, Campbell, Walters (ASU) and Smith. I think Orton and Orlovsky (UConn) are somewhere in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
