Good Ridance Daunte Culpepper

Good Morning Readers, well you should all know by now that Daunte Culpepper has been traded to the Miami Dolphins for there 2nd Round Draft Pick. If you know me and have read past articles on Daunte Culpepper and this guy was a cry baby.

So where do we go now? Well we build a team around a strong defense and strong offensive run. That's what teams do to win in this league. Would you give up two allstar players to get a Superbowl and a new Stadium? The answer for me is yes. The Patriots lost Curtis Martin, Dree Bledsoe, and Terry Glenn and won three Superbowls and the key to this league is draft correctly and find players that can play your system and are all leaders.

The Draft is next month look for Brad Childress to find a new gem quarterback. I did a mockdraft and I think it is coming together nicely so far I have:

First Round

• Chad Greenway Iowa LB: Not a true MLB but has the senses to play on all linebacker positions. Plays hard great tackler, great speed, and has a real sense for the game. Could be taken between 1st to 15th draft picks.
• Winston Justice, OT USC: The Vikings could look to free agency to fill their needs on the offensive line, but if they don’t, they could address the position early in the draft..
• Ernie Sims FSU LB: Also not a true MLB but has great speed, and is a great tackler, he does have some off the field issues. Could be taken between 15th and 45th.
  
• Eric Winston, Miami (FL) OT: The Vikings need a lot of help on the offensive line, and Winston could step in and play immediately. He possesses great size and intelligence, and can play either on the left or right side.
• Jay Cutler, QB Vanderbilt: Cutler has received a lot of hype since the Senior Bowl, and another team could be tempted to move up once he gets out of the top ten.

Second Round (2 picks)

• D'Qwell Jackson Maryland LB: A true MLB with speed and good size. Typical Maryland linebacker came from the same system as E.J. Henderson. Could be taken between the 20th and early second round.
• Adul Hodge Iowa LB: This guy is a monster he can play the run and pass. He is a machine smart and can smell out a play. He runs very well, but can be stopped if doesn't play with big linemen. Could be taken between the 10th and 45th picks.
• Brodie Croyle Alabama QB: Croyle enters his senior year at Alabama coming off season-ending knee surgery a year ago. Despite an injury that plagued him in 2003, Croyle set the single-season record for pass attempts (341), was second in completions (182), 2nd in passing yards (2,303) and tied for the single-season passing touchdown mark (16).
• Bernard Pollard Purdue S: A big time big ten safety was a cornerstone for that Purdue defense. Good size and speed and looks like a monster in the back field. Could be taken between 25th and 50th draft picks.
• Taitusi Lutui USC OG: The offensive line was a big problem area and this guy could be the next David Dixon for them.
• 
  
• Jason Allen Tennessee S
: His size and speed makes him an intriguing prospect at corner, but he might be more suited for safety.
• 
  
• Max Jean-Gilles Georgia OG: A very experienced blocker, Max Jean-Gilles has blocked against the top defenses of the SEC his entire career. Jean-Gilles doesn’t have the best mobility because of his large stature. He needs to react quicker to the play and hold his blocks longer.

The Minnesota Wild fell last night againest the Edmonton Oilers. I watched the game and the Refs cost the Wild a win last night. I think if they would have called that Walz goal a actual goal then we had some momentum to win. The Wild make there own destiny and they need to win to make the playoffs.
