Don Banks - 2006 Draft Mulligan - The Orange Mane

DomCasual · 12-05-2006, 06:21 PM

Kind of interesting - he would have us taking Maroney at 11, the Packers taking Cutler at 5, and the Bengals taking Elvis Dumervil at 24.

Granted, Don Banks is a tool. But it's still nice to see Dumervil get a little positive press.

He's actually Balki writing under an assumed name.

I haven't seen anything from Leinart that would warrant drafting him ahead of Cutler - but it's still all pretty subjective at this point.

bloodsunday · 12-05-2006, 06:45 PM

speaking of subjective. What has Maroney really done? He had one awesome game and other than that he has looked better returning the ball than running it.

He is averaging 4.0 / carry and only 4 TDs. He has averaged more than 4.0 just once in his past 4 games.

Marion Barber is averaging 1.2 MORE yds per rush and has 7 more TDs.

Just pointing out that its not just rookie QBs that need some time to adjust to the league.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Maroney is AMAZING SEAN SALISBURY AND MERRIL HOGEYYY SAID SO

Hercules Rockefeller · 12-05-2006, 06:47 PM

So the Broncos didn't make the best decision because they didn't take Maroney, yet the guy the Broncos did pick, went in the Top 5 in the "re-draft"?

Which leads back to the point of Don Banks being an idiot. I swear - you don't really have to think through things to write for SI. Just watch Sportscenter and write whatever comes to mind.

Billy Clyde Puckett · 12-05-2006, 06:57 PM

Nice for Elvis to get the recognition. Looks like the Broncs had a great draft, but they made a bad mistake not taking Mark Anderson instead of Elvis. Anderson will be an every down DE for years to come.

FloridaResident · 12-05-2006, 07:14 PM

maroney was totally a bust for the patriots. he did not do very well since the first 4 games

Jens1893 · 12-05-2006, 07:48 PM

Hester, a kick returner, Brad Smith and Gostkowski in the first? The Browns drafting Mangold in April although they´d just signed Bentley to a pricy contract, who went down in June? Marcus McNeill first overall? What the hell is the guy on?

Haven't you watched Sportscenter? Dallas has had kicker problems. And Bentley went down, so the assumption has to be that he'll never, ever return. So Mangold makes sense. And Hester has four touchdowns this year, so he's on Sportscenter all the time. That makes him really, really good.

Where's Greg Jennings?

This is a dumbass article, but the homer in me loves seeing Marcus McNeil get some well deserved props

Finger Roll · 12-05-2006, 08:55 PM

i'm much more impressed with joseph addia then Maroney myself.

-Slap- · 12-05-2006, 09:01 PM

He put DeMeco Ryans in the first round. That was a good call.

Flashback: Chris Berman whining like a little girl because nobody would draft Rogers. Oh Packers, just draft him. Just take him. He's a good kid!

Dagmar · 12-05-2006, 09:55 PM

I didn't think Huff was a disappointment as much as it pains to say.

boltssbbound · 12-05-2006, 09:59 PM

Notice who got the best player in the draft for the second year in a row? That's right the Bolts. AJ Smith is God.

so far so good, he's looked like a hell of an exec thus far.

Bob's your Information Minister · 12-06-2006, 02:26 AM

Chiefs picked the right guy!

Denver would have been a better team this year with Maroney.

ward63 · 12-06-2006, 11:10 AM

Well I figured, since everybody's been talking about drafts and stuff. Who would you want? I'd do almost anything to bring Alan Branch or Quinn Pitcock and put them next to Warren for a while.

I don't care if we would have been a better team this year. If Cutler turns out to be the kind of player most people think he will be, then 1 vs. the next 15 is worth the tradeoff.

Way too early to say that. But he's clearly having some rookie struggles like everyone else.
