More draft
Posted April 24th, 2007 by Ron
Trent Green controls the NFL Draft!
Sounds strange but a couple of the talking heads said that is the case.
Here is the scenario: If the Chiefs trade Green to the Dolphins then the Dolphins could trade Daunte Culpepper to the Raiders.
Got that?
What does it mean? It means that the Raiders would take wide receiver Calvin Johnson No. 1. If it doesn't happen, the Raiders will stay with QB JaMarcus Russell.
Culpepper, who can't move, would be playing behind a line that gave up 72 sacks last season. I would think that means the Raiders would get the first pick in the draft next season, too.
Other reports have that the Browns could trade for Green and then he would be a mentor for Brady Quinn. But the word is that Green doesn't want to come to the Browns.
By the way, the feeling is the Dolphins would only have to deal a sixth-round pick to the Chiefs to get Green.
