Johnson is one of the few players in the draft that could be categorized as a sure thing and Millen has a legacy to worry about. He's a lame duck GM and probably wants the last big decision he makes in Detroit a safe one.
I'm sure folks will get on him for taking ANOTHER wide receiver, but most will be relegated to saying he did the right thing and took the best player in the draft.
I looked at Quinn, whom could either become Tom Brady or Heath Shuler. A ton of upside but still no slam dunk. I think they'd like to look at getting a Brohm or Chad Henne next year.
Adrian Peterson, another sink or swim pick. Lots of flash, but a pick that for some reason puts butterflies in my stomach.
Between Thomas and Gaines Adams, both would be great picks. Thomas is a safe pick without the visible impact Millen would be looking for and Adams might require a season's worth of acclimation before making a large contribution.
According to my clock (synched with government time servers) we're past the 10am Deadline for the Arizona Cardinals. We need to start voting on who should be selected by the cardinals. This vote will last from now until 11am. Please submit your votes.
I stole this from Todd McShay- Scouts Inc:
5. Arizona (5-11)
Projected pick: +Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
Needs: OT, OLB, CB, DT, DE, TE, S, P
The Cardinals' first priority is OT Thomas. If he's off the board, they will likely look to trade down -- and they should have a dancing partner with Peterson still on the board. Finally, if stuck at No. 5, the team will have a tough internal battle between value (Peterson) and need (DE Gaines Adams). Value should always win out.

Anyway, my vote would be:
1. Adrian Peterson
2. Gaines Adams
3. Jamaal Anderson
4. Levi Brown (which is a reach but fills their biggest need)
As a non-mock participant, should I stay out of the vote?
I'll accept your vote. We arent getting to many yet, anyways. There's only like 36 minutes left for all the votes to be submitted.
