Monday, February 09, 2004Hey hey. Have a question for Jesus? Go here. A hot chick is here.I'll keep track of the draft stuff. A lot is going to change now that Clarett is eligible & Fitzgerald declared. Plus, the NFL has set the date of March 1 for college players to declare for the draft. Here are some questions for Kiper on who might do what: Q: Is there a big wide receiver the New York Jets could draft with the No. 12 overall pick? Matt, Woodbury, N.Y. KIPER: A big wideout could help the Jets, and while Roy Williams of Texas will likely be off the board by that time, there are plenty of guys moving up the board who could be viable options for New York. Michael Clayton, Devery Henderson, Michael Jenkins and Reggie Williams all will be available and all are making a push to improve their stock, so they will certainly be intriguing options. Needs at linebacker and cornerback will likely supersede the WR, position, though, and I look for the Jets to go with a LB like Miami's Jonathan Vilma at that point in the first round. Q: Is there a defensive end out there worthy of the Minnesota Vikings' 19th overall pick? Would Antwan Odom of Alabama be a reach? Scott, Oakdale, Minn. KIPER: Odom would be a slight reach, but he is definitely a guy with great physical ability. He was hurt in 2003 by the graduation of three fellow starters after the '02 season and seemed to wear down late in some games. Odom still had eight sacks, though, and if he has a great workout there is a possibility he could get some consideration from the Vikings. Both Will Smith of Ohio State and Kenechi Udeze of USC will be off the board at that point, and Minnesota's options have been hurt by the fact that Oklahoma's Dan Cody opted to return to school. Look for the Vikes to try to add some speed off the edge, though, possibly in the person of athletic Miami outside linebacker D.J. Williams. Q: Do you think the New England Patriots will actually go with offense in the draft this year? The last couple of years they have built up the defense. Will, Jay, Maine KIPER: The most pressing need in New England is at running back, and while the Patriots' wideouts stepped up on the way to the Super Bowl, they could also use a big, physical WR to complement the guys already on the roster. Where running back is concerned, New England could package some of their many picks in order to move up and get a player like Steven Jackson of Oregon State. Antowain Smith and Kevin Faulk were good enough this year, but the Pats ultimately want a big-time feature back with speed, size, instincts, hands and blocking ability. They would like to find a back who can stay on the field for all three downs, and Jackson fits that mold. Q: As a San Francisco 49ers fan I'm wondering who they plan on drafting at No. 16 in the first round. Will any good WRs be left by the 16th pick? Zach, Warren, N.J. KIPER: There will be some good WRs on the board when the 49ers pick, and the Niners will likely take a look at the same group I mentioned for the Jets: Clayton, Henderson, Jenkins and Williams. But DT looks like more of a need area for the Niners at this point, and Miami's Vince Wilfork would be ideal. He is an outstanding athlete, and even at 6-1, 360, he dominated a number of games in Miami and would make a lot of sense for a defense that will have some holes up front. Q: Who do you think the Buffalo Bills should take with the 13th pick in the draft? Do you think trading up for a QB is a viable option? Mark, Buffalo, N.Y. KIPER: Eli Manning of Ole Miss and Ben Roethlisberger of Miami-Ohio will be long gone by No. 13, and the only other QB worth taking at that spot would be N.C. State's Philip Rivers, who has moved solidly into the No. 3 spot in this year's QB class. But even if a QB-needy team like Pittsburgh scoops up Rivers at No. 11, the Bills are also one of the teams heavily involved in the pursuit of former Michigan QB and Yankees farmhand Drew Henson. The Steelers could package a second-round pick and get Henson on the roster if they think he can be an impact player a couple years down the road, so trading up might not be the best option. DE is also a concern area in Buffalo, though, and the Bills could look at someone like Will Smith or Kenechi Udeze, both of whom would be ideal for the Bills' scheme. Stay tuned sports fans!
