If we are going to talk about Safeties in the draft, I like Michael Huff (6-1, 205) from Texas alot. He's a big playmaker, has great NFL potential, and has the ability to play CB as well as S (a big bonus, especially considering the Pats' DB situation the last couple of years). I would love to get him on the Pats, even though it will probably take a Paul Pierce-like draft miracle for Huff to drop to our pick; just wanted to throw his name into consideration.
i just had my madden draft for 2006 last night after going 14-2 and winning the super bowl (on all madden setting) and drafted michael huff
for some reason in every madden game crappy teams view the pats first rder better than theirs at the beg of the year, so i was able to get the 9ers and cards picks, i then traded starks and a couple mid rd draft picks for the number two overall pick(starks was in the pro bowl and a holdout)
so i ended up with the second, third (cards) and 19th(niners) overall picks
here was my draft:
rd pick overall player
1 2 2 reggie bush-hb (could not pass him up-traded faulk afterwards)
1 3 3 aj hawk-olb (he has been nasty through two preseasono games)
1 19 19 michael huff-ss
2 1 33 martin nance-wr (6'5", fast)
4 1 97 ahmad brooks-ilb (could not believe he fell)
4 2 98 antwan allen-cb (ditto)
4 3 99 dj shockley-qb (flutie retired, let davey go, needed qb, i wanted jay cutler-partially cuz he has my first name and my moms maidan name)
4 19 115 greg jennings-wr
5 3 131 mike hass-wr (couldnt pick b/w jennings and hass, and went with jennings, then saw hass slipped, so had to take both, plus needed some wrs, as troy brown retired, and i let tim dwight and david terrell(lol) go in fa)
5 32 160 og, cant remember who i got here right now
anyway, bush looked nasty at the beg of the first preseason game (i have him come in a lil more than the way we use kfaulk, but then tapered off later in game, and in second game, then he got hurt in the second game and is out two weeks), from the way he played in the game, he might just be a rich mans kevin faulk, to be quite honest, obviously the pats have no shot in the world of getting him, but i dont think he will be quite as good as LT
aj hawk is a beast, thats all i can say, one knock, he gets knocked down a lil too easy, but he really is a beast
martin nance is big fast, and can catch the ball
antwan allen played phenomenal in the training camp drill, but then got burned by marvin harrison three times in preseason game one (ya, he played the whole game)
shockley is a young rohan davey with more speed
obviously its a video game, and its with the ncaa game from the preseason, but still i feel im getting somewhat of a feel of how these guys could play
i would not hate it if the pats get michael huff in the first rd
and i would love martin nance
