Thread: Can Raji drop to #12?

What are the chances that Raji lasts until the 12 spot? There have been some free agent moves and trades lately that may have his stock slipping a bit. Not due to talent or concenrs, but teams have filled some needs. Cincy signed Tank Johnson and I believe Seattle traded for a DT from Detroit. The first 11 teams to pick are:

1-Detroit...It'll either be a OT or Stafford
2-St. Louis...has to be a OT w/ pace gone
3-Kansas City...most say Curry and they went DT in the first last year
4-Seattle...just traded for a DT and couls go WR or QB. This is Raji's first potential spot, but I doubt it.
5-Cleveland-Some project raji here, but they have a huge DLine which includes Rogers already. Plus looks like Edwards will be traded and WR is a need.
6-Cincinnati...Just signed Tank and have plenty of other needs. Still possible for Raji here though.
7-Oakland...only God knows what they will do.
8-Jacksonville...They miss Stroud, but they suddenly have lots of other holes.
9-Green Bay...It'd be tough for them to pass Raji up.
10-San Fran...Anotehr possible spot...if Sanchez and the WRs are gone.
11-Buffalo...Has Stroud and needs a pass rusher.

Overall, I still think it's pretty unlikely that he falls, but some of the recent moves made may give us a shot at him.

I believe GB grabs him!!

he did fail a drug test that could help

Smilin'A, I agree with your evaluation of who might pick him up. I, also, agree that it is a long shot. However, each year someone who is highly ranked slides to the middle rounds. Maybe this year it is Raji and we stop the slid at #12.

No he didn't. The reports were false.

the original report that Raji tested for Marijuana by Sports Illustrated was later removed... that should tell you that the report was false, or the source isnt legit.

I think those rumors were false.. the last thing I read was nothing had been released to the teams..

Can Raji drop to #12?

who knows, its possible.... 2 QB's and 4 OT's along with Curry, Crabtree, Orakpo, Jenkins, and Maclin could all be taken ahead of Raji...

Seriously, Broncos don't need to draft DL. They need to draft a stud LB like Rey Maualuga or Brian Cushing. However, I would be happy if they draft them.

Rey Manuluga would be much better than San Diego's Shawne Merriman

Brian Cushing would be next Bill Romanowski. I attended to several USC games and he played like Bill Romanowski.

IMO, I don't think they should draft other DL because they have Marcus Thomas, Tim Crodwer, Elvis Dumervil, Jarvis Moss, Ronald Feilds, Darrell Reid, and Kenny Peterson. They are all young and good.

Broncos' linebackers are sank. I am worried about that and they need to create some new monsters in that area.

However, It is difficult for Broncos to make a final decision on NFL Draft. Should they go for QB in first round or should they draft a stud defensive player.
