It depends on who declares eligibility and such. The top QB's would probably be Tim Tebow (over-rated ridiculously), Jimmy Clausen, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy.
Other highly rated guys include, Taylor Mays (Safety), Dez Bryant (WR), Brandon Spikes (LB), Eric Berry (Safety) and Carlos Dunlap (DE). Way too early to be predicting who'd go where.

If/when we get the #1 pick i think we would do well to trade down if theres demand. Stock pile the picks and get a clear out underway of this years twaddle

Almost impossible to trade down out of the number one pick. Unless a team in the top 5 are desperate for a player. The cost, both financial for the contract and the cost in draft picks to get the number one pick makes it unowrthwhile.

Basically we need someone to do a Ditka!! Just looked at our schedule and im sad to say it looks like we could very well follow Detroit into the history books at 0-16. The game at Ford Field is probably our best chance of a win but even the Lions are turning it round. We play the Viking next week, meaning AP will get at least 150 yards. Trust in me to be up against him in fantasy!

Unless your saying that's correct now?
Eli doesn't have a better record your team does. Eli isn't the only player. Just because he has a better record doesn't make him a better QB. This being a case in point. Rodgers is as good, if not better, but because of other players we are 2-2.
I stand by my predictions of Green Bay to make the play-offs, Houston to make the play-offs and Denver not to.
Cutler had one bad game(his debut with his team) granted against a bad team, since then he's been lights out beating the Steelers, Seahawks on the road and destroying the Lions. All about opinion I guess. I don't think you'll make the playoffs, I think you'll have a winning record. But in terms of the wildcard then the bears, eagles are just ahead of you. I was reading something Jamie Dukes wrote about your GM getting the draft wrong saying you should have traded up to get a tackle/ What are your views on that? I'be always though TT has done a good job, I know he's no Jerry Reese who continues to unearth gems like Boss, Bradshaw, Webster, Manningham, Smith etc.

Personally i wanted Michael Oher at pick 9. He is a tackle and i'm a big fan of his from his Ole Miss' days and after reading his story. I would have liked him a hell of a lot. Eugene Monroe would have been another option at tackle with our first pick.
Our second pick was possibly wrong. We should have got Michael Oher at 25 (i think it was) instead of Clay Matthews. Although i can understand why TT did it and Clay is a very good player.
With our change to 3-4, we needed the big guy for in the middle to set our team up. As it is Raji hasn't really done much yet.
Cliffy is injured and he is our LT. Colledge is a good player and a decent LT but he's not played there much. We got Lang in the draft also.
I figure TT thought we had another season with Cliffy at LT and our other tackles and then in all likeliness our first pick next year would be LT. Thompson is a very good GM, but his round one picks are poor, the rest of the draft he is very good. Justin Harrell being a prime example.

Speaking of our need for help at Tackle/Guard. Mark Tauscher was brought in for a try-out, frankly i don't know why he was let go, hopefully he can sign and give us some help.
I thought I had my fantasy QB issues solved when I tried to claim McNabb off waivers. I was 2nd on the list behind LFC Rhino, who had just dropped him....he then claimed him back! No worries, or so I thought, my back up plan was David Garrard - LFC Rhino nabbed him too! I'm still stuck with Trent Edwards and Matt Cassell!
