Well 1st of all Sanchez is having problems(rape case) and Booty is still hurting from back sugery. However their in the Pac-10, The Saddest of ALL the major Conferences. C'mon from what I've seen only UCLA,Oregon and MAYBE Arizona(yes, the wildcats..good recruits) have a chance at taking a run at USC. Plus with the Overall #1 recruiting class(again)..including 2 RB's they should be OK. Not National Champs though. The Buckeyes w/Troy Smith could run at the title this year really only the Wolverines stand in their way..although Penn St. and Iowa are very good in a stacked Big 10...Purdue,Wisconsin and Minnesota could cause headaches for alot of teams. The National Crown will run through the SEC this year as Florida,Tennesse and Georgia will duke it out...but watch for Texas and Oklahoma along w/Florida St. amd Miami to challenge along with Notre Dame and the Heisman Winner Brady Quinn(unless Adrian Peterson runs for 2,000 at OU)\n\n  The Doctor is IN

Not this year.  May be next year if you are lucky.   If I remember, Jason Campbell has one great year as a senior at Auburn.  He was an all American as a high school-er.  It took him four years to become good college Quarterback. (Redshirt freshman  and 1-3 years.)  Great Athlete with strong arms.  It will take time before Campbell can be a good NFL QB.

I'm going with the Giants in a close one. \n\nThe Cowboys made a great addition with the aquistion of Owens. Giving them quite the offense with Bledsoe, Jones, Owens, Barber and Witten. \n\nThat unit will put up points this year. \n\nThe D has less names but just as much talent. I look at Ware, Williams and the rest of the D-town crew and see a stout D.\n\nOn the other side you have 3rd year QB Manning and one of the scariest offenses in the league. They don't seem that bad, the line needs a little work but Manning, Burress, Shockey and Barber are all playmakers. Toomer and now little Moss add nice options to the passing game as well.\n\nOn D I look at the addition of Lavar Arrington as another great piece to this team. A linebacker like him with Strahan and co. should make an impact not felt in Washington. He is a better player then he gets credit for and the change in scenery should show that. \n\nMy guess? \nGiants 21, Dallas 20\n\n\n*** This of course assumes that TO will keep it together in Dallas and be able to play for the season****

First of all usc is a garbage team too start with. They have one of the week est conference in college football and Matt is not a good QB That's why he went 10th in the draft!!!

While it is still way too early to tell for sure ...It is not too early to state that \n\nAlex Smith actually saw some significant playing time this year and was disturbingly bad. He completed more TD passes to the opposing team than to his own team (which is not very difficult when you have not completed any TD passes to your own team, BTW). \n\nAaron Rodgers hardly saw the field while backing up Favre, but gets my vote by default. He would maintain this lead just be demonstrating the ability to successfully handle a snap and not give the opposing team the ball in an unbelievably stunning and quick manner...

Next year with Timmy Tebow at the helm of Urban Meyer's offense, my pick is Florida.  But Chris Leak is just not mobile enough to be active in the spread-option.  He's suited more for a WCO when he gets in the NFL as he just can't run well in a shotgun-offense.  The team is good but Caldwell will emerge as a great replacement for Chad Jackson.  \n\nSouth Carolina has a chance to surprise most people.  But Steve Spurrier needs a QB as Blake Mitchell is tough but just not good enough.  Sidney Rice is a stud at WR and the defense is up to snuff.\n\nLSU again inherits another good-looking team.  JaMarcus Russell is a great leader and is very Byron Leftwich-like in my eyes.  Can he lead the team TO though SEC Championship game?  Very likely and I expect big things out of the squad this year.   Addai is a loss but LaRon Landry returns to an already great D.\n\nAuburn is my personal favorite to take it all this year, but LSU may edge them out.  They do lose 2 good recievers in Aromashodu and Obomanu but keep perhaps the best RB in the SEC, Kenny Irons.  Brandon Cox is developing and is looking great in terms of being the heir to Jason Campbell.  Can they win?  Yes, favorable schedule but they need to beat LSU on September 16th.  \n\nTennessee is always favored to be a great sleeper team and now that Fulmer gets his QB coach back (name slips my mind) but he made Shuler, Manning and Tee Martin into respectable QBs.  Ainge should make small improvements but is his confidence/desire, there?\n\nMy pick, LSU or Auburn.

Matt Leinart for sure. He is the best quarterback in the draft without a doubt. I believe he is NFL ready. USC has run the majority of their formations just like the NFL does.\n\nWhereas Young has been running all his plays in the shotgun. Running all the time can be dangerous in the NFL because of how injury prone you become. \n\nLeinart should be the 2nd person drafted after first draft pick Reggie Bush.

You forgot about Brady Quinn..even though he is sooooo over rated...he will go before Troy Smith because thats how the NFL works.\n1.) Miami Dolphins: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame\n- The Dolphins are one of the biggest disappointments this year, and the main reason for that has been poor play at QB. They will think Quinn can come in immediately improve a Dolphins team that I thought had so much potential\n2.) Detroit Lions: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin\n- In my mind, drafting an OL in the top 5 has always been one of the best picks a team can make. Take a look at how the Jets are doing this year. Hopefully Millen is smarter than I think he is and makes the right pick; Joe Thomas\n3.) Arizona Cardinals: Sam Baker, OT, USC\n- The Cardinals offense is missing one thing: a good offensive line. If they want to have any chance of winning, they have to start making more holes for Edge to run through. Baker has tremendous potential, and could be a Pro-Bowler for many years to come if he fulfills it\n4.) Oakland Raiders: Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech\n- I know Calvin had 0 catches against Clemson; but if he was on a team with another tremendous talent (Randy Moss) he would have more chances to get open and would be a tremendous threat \n5.) Tennessee Titans: Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC\n- The Titans are hoping that Calvin falls to them here, but if not, they go with Jarrett, the next best WR in the draft. VY needs a receiver, and with the emergence of Travis Henry in recent weeks, the Titans could have a decent offense\n6) Adrian Peterson to the Titans\n\nYou must be an Ohio St Fan

Lynch is a playmaker.  There is always room for a playmaker on any NFL Squad.  I don't know how many running backs are entering the draft this year, but he will probably be a top 10 pick if not higher.  Cleveland could use a fast change of direction running back to complement Rueben Droughns.

True statement! Is that what you are looking for?\n\nHere is why\n1989 Andre Ware\n1990 Ty Detmer\n1992 Gino Terreta\n1993 Charlie Ward\n1996 Danny Wuerffel\n2000 Chris Weinke\n2001 Eric Crouch\n2002 Carson Palmer\n2003 Jason White\n2004 Matt Leinart\n\nRemember these guys? All QBS who won the Heisman in the past 20 years. Wanna play the game "Where are they now?" Do 2 of them still have jobs in the NFL, are they both from USC? \n\nQBs are a huge risk to draft in the 1st round yet alone the 1st pick! I see Brady Quinn going early too, maybe before Smith, but it is too risky so I say no! \n\nIf not him then who?\nmaybe:\nGarrett Wolfe\nCalvin Johnson\nLamaar Woodley\nJake Long\nTed Ginn Jr. could even be considered\n\nRemember the Lions have already failed drafting a QB, so if its them then don't bet on Smith!

1-10....I give it a 9.5. How  did you get such a great team? Carson Palmer is going to play amazingly, if not then you got Hasselbeck at backup and he's a starter usually. Horn is going to play great with Brees at QB. Fitzgerald will only improve. Clinton Portis, Corey Dillon, and LaMont Jordan are all good RBs. Jordan will be more effective than last year because their new coach is a run-first type of guy.  Holt as a backup WR? That's crazy! Jevon Walker, well he'll do better than last year, don't you think? And Vanderjagt at kicker will always be a great kicker. Carolina's DEF will also be one of the best. Shockey at TE, again will be one of the best.

Yes. They are returning all of their starters, and have added to their secondary in free agency and the draft. They've got Grossman back and healthy for the season (cross your fingers), and now have Griese as a suitable backup. At the receiver spot, Bradley was starting to come on last year before he got hurt, and Berrian hsowed some potential towards the end of the season, and obviously they have Muhammed in the #1 spot. As far as the tight end situation, they don't have a stand-out player at the position, but Desmond Clark is at least serviceable, and Ron Turner's offenses typically dont rely heavily on tight ends. The problem that I do see is what most see as the strong suit- running back. I've got a bad feeling they're going to end up going with a RB-by-committee situation, which I think is a bad idea. Platoon situations don't give either back a chance to get into a real rhythm. Jones is already not happy with the situation, and I'm sure Benson won't be after long. I think they do have a chance to go to the bowl this year, but I think they may be one more year away.

Randy Moss-had a little bit of a down year but should bounce back with aaron brooks\n\nLarry Johnson- was only a reserve last year, should be in contention for the MVP this year\n\nTatum Bell- with the departure of Mike Anderson he will be able to be the feature back\n\nT.O.- will be the primary target in Dallas and should have huge numbers\n\n**Sleeper**Mark Bradley- CHI WR-showed signs of being great before getting hurt last year.  Should benefit from being in the second year of the same system, a competitive qb race and one of the best one/two  punches at running back in the NFL

SWEET! another 9er fan on here not afraid to show their spirit!!! TE of corse. but look at that one WR from Pittsburgh, got drafted as a QB and went to WR so i guess anythang is possible.

However long it takes them to decide on a starting QB, or however long it takes Matt Leinart to get comfortable with the offense. They are going to be explosive with Fitzgerald, Boldin, James, and also rookie TE Leonard Pope. Rookie OG Lutui will add stability to the O-line. The Cardinals allowed the 8th least amount of yards last season, and they are looking to improve that with the acquisitions of 2 DT's and 1 LB. If they choose to go with Warner, and he performs like he used to in his glory days with the Rams, they will be Super Bowl contenders this coming season!

Dude....tough call!  It seems like the Big Ten is moving more and more to the West Coast Offense, but the foundation of the conference is running the ball.  Perhaps not as much as in the SEC, but the coaches in the Big Ten need to run to win.\n\nThat leaves us with a lot of good players to consider:\n\nMichigan's Michael Hart\nOhio State's Antonio Pittman\nMinnesota's Amir Pinnix\nNorthwestern's Tyrell Sutton\nMichigan State's Javon Ringer\nWisconsin's Hill/Walker/Foster combo\nPenn State's Tony Hunt\nIndiana's Josiah Sears\nIllinois's Pierre Thomas\nIowa's Albert Young\nand \nPurdue's Kory Sheets.\n\nMy money is on Tyrell Sutton as the best back in the Big Ten, but the spread offensive never hurts.  Sutton averaged 5.9 yards per carry last season, and he will get more touches with Basanez gone.  My only concern is that the offense could get too one-dimensional there if CJ Bacher can't keep up the good progress made by Basanez.\n\nWho will lead the conference in rushing yards next year?  That's gonna be Albert Young.  He is built like the ideal RB.  Strong and quick.  He and Drew Tate are the perfect one-two punch on the Hawkeye offense.\n\nThe most valuable back to their team?  Kory Sheets.  Purdue QB Curtis Painter loves to run the option, and that will only add to Sheets's production.\n\nMy Honorable Mentions are extended to Hart, Pittman, Ringer and Pinnix who will all have HUGE seasons next year.\n\nKeep your eyes on Jehuu Caulcrick for MSU, though...he's fantastic, too.\n\nMan, there's just to many good backs to choose....GREAT QUESTION!!!!
