I'd like to see how the rest of you see the top ten shaking out.

Post your draft results for the top 10 in round 1.

If you think there will be trades, you can document that, but if you just want to list the first ten players that you think will be drafted, in order, that's fine too.

It will be interesting to see if Petersen falls in the projections now that the media knows that he reinjured his collarbone and needs 3 more months of rehab.

Apparently, the NFL teams already knew about this, so their plans may not change any, but experts and media outlets that were doing mock drafts may have to adjust them some now.

After the experiences with Charles Rogers collarbone, I wouldn't touch a running back that now has documented recurring collarbone issues, especially with the impact/hits that a RB takes.

I would go like this..........

1. Oakland -- Russell. This seems like a no-brainer for them.

2. Detroit -- Johnson. #1 player in the draft. Keep or trade though?

3. Cleveland -- Thomas. I think they like Charlie Frye and Peterson's injury scares them so they go for the safe bet.

4. Tampa Bay -- Adams. He can help a young defense or be trade bait for Calvin Johnson.

5. Arizona -- LaRon Landry. Best defensive player in the draft......period!

6. Washington -- Okoye. They need d-line help.

7. Minnesota -- Peterson -- Too hard to pass up a 1,500 masher.

8. Atlanta -- Ginn Jr. I think they shock the world and give Vick weapons.

9. Miami -- Quinn. I think Miami has a huge hard-on for Quinn and they almost pee themselves when he is available ala Leinart.

10. Houston -- Brown. Hall, Branch, Willis and Revis on the board makes this pick interesting, but they need to shore up the O-line.

I don't think there will be any trades in the Top Ten this year.

Everybody (talking heads) keeps saying that Ginn is not going to amount to much of a WR, that his real niche will be as a KR (ala Hester or Dante Hall).

If he goes at 8, that will indeed shock the world Filly, and you will have called it.

Filly was freakishly closer than most pundits. Could have been even closer. The no trades thing being right on was the biggest surprise for me.

I didn't get very many right. When Cleveland passed on Quinn it fouled up a lot for me (not that I didn't get most of them wrong anyway).
