The Ohio State Buckeyes continue to make a statement in the first round. Bobby Carpenter goes higher than expected with the 19th pick to the Dallas Cowboys. Bill Parcells knows Bobby’s father who also played in the NFL, so he knows he getting a high character player. With A.J. Hawk going with the fifth pick to Green Bay and Donte Whitner going very high with the eighth pick to Buffalo, the Buckeyes are off to a very good start. Three down and possibly three more to go in the first round.
Month: April 2006 (Page 3 of 17)
The Browns really lucked out as Whitner and Ernie Sims unexpectedly went in the top 10. As a result, the three guys they were targeting (Ngata, Bunkley, and Wimbley) were all available at 12. Consequently, the Browns traded down a spot with the Baltimore Ravens, who grabbed Ngata.
With the 13th pick, the Browns selected DE/LB Kamerion Wimbley from Florida State.
The Browns picked up an extra sixth round pick from the Ravens and got Wimbley, a great pass-rusher who Mel Kiper continues to compare to Peter Boulware. With Willie McGinest on board, Wimbley has a great chance to pick the brain and learn a great deal from the former Pro Bowl Patriot.
Congratulations to Donte Whitner! He went to Buffalo with the 8th pick of the NFL draft. That’s huge. he deserves credit, and he obviously made the right decision going out early.
Reggie Bush was just drafted by the New Orleans Saints, who open their 2006 season in Cleveland against the Browns. Hopefully Andra Davis and the Browns defense will give him a rude welcome to the NFL.
The Indians won their third straight as they beat the Texas Rangers 6-5 Friday night. Jason Michaels had one of his best games of the season as he went 3 for 5 with two doubles and two RBI.
“J-Mike came through in a huge way tonight,” said Wedge
The Rangers almost doubled the number of the Trible hits but it didn’t matter as the Indians came away with the victory. Kevin Mench homered for his seventh straight game for the Rangers. Bob Wickman gave up a run in the ninth but got his fifth save of the season and his 129th as an Indian, tying a club record.
Jason Johnson gave up a lot of hits in his six innings of work but pitched well enough to keep us in the ballgame, which is all you can ask for of a #5 starter. The offense produced big hits and let’s hope we keep this winning streak going.
