2003 NFL Draft Predictions
2003 NFL Draft Predictions by 1800-SportsoddsFor this year’s NFL Draft predictions I am going to focus on the skilled position of quarterback. This years quarterback class is very strong and includes Byron Leftwich from Marshall, Carson Palmer of Southern Cal, Rex Grossman of Florida, Chris Simms of Texas and Kyle Boller from Cal Berkley.
My NFL Draft predictions are for the quarterbacks to be taken in the following order:
1.) Carson Palmer, Southern Cal – Carson Palmer is a lock for the first pick overall by the Cincinnati Bengals. I don’t even consider this a prediction because it’s a fact!
2.) Byron Leftwich, Marshall – My view is that the Chicago Bears need Byron Leftwich at the 4th pick, but he would fit perfect with the Baltimore Ravens at the 10th pick overall.
3.) Chris Simms, Texas – Because of Ricky Williams stellar performance as a Miami Dolphin, the New Orleans Saints have back to back picks at 17 and 18 overall. Look for the Saints to make a trade to the Dallas Cowboys for Chris Simms.
4.) Rex Grossman, Florida – Rex Grossman was coached by Steve DeBerg in the off season, making him a perfect developmental quarterback for the Miami Dolphins to groom, but they don’t have a NFL Draft pick because of their trade for Ricky Williams. So look for the Pittsburgh Steelers to take Rex Grossman at the 27th spot.
5.) Kyle Boller, Cal Berkley – Going for a home town kid, the Oakland Raiders will select Kyle Boller to close out the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft.
