Re: Official 2007 Patriots Draft Thread

I'm traveling on business right now, locked in a hotel room desperately trying to get some critical work done. This will test the limits of my multitasking abilities. (Conveniently, though, my work task of the moment is to research babies named ESPN!)

I planned to name my next cat ESPN, but then I figured that would be animal cruelty for the many times I've wanted to kick ESPN!

What's on it? I'm having noodles and a can of Diet Coke with Cherry. I never drink at home, so no beers for me.

Let's see, I grabbed a cheese since I already had pepperoni at home and didn't need to spend the extra 50 cents for the few meager slices they provide. I added crumbled bacon, pepperoni (shoulder to shoulder), diced ham, mushrooms, leftover hamburger, and blended three cheeses. I'm kicking myself for not grabbing some of the pre-cut peppers and onions they had, I should eat some vegetables today. Maybe the cat will share some of the indoor formula he gets with it's high grass content (that's the lawn stuff in case you get confused with no alcohol in your system).

Aaaaggghhh! This NFL Network draft intro sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"NEWS ALERT: Adam Schefter of NFLN reports that the Jets are trying to trade up into the top 15, presumably to get cornerback Leon Hall or cornerback Darelle Revis."

NEWS ALERT: NFLN reports that the Titans are expected to acquire WR Mike Williams from the Lions. Williams was the No. 10 overall pick in 2005.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

First round quarterbacks are risky but they had to pick one because the raiders shafted themselves last yr with leinart and did nothing to address the need this offseason.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

Question: this guy was never really mentioned last year. how did he shoot up to #1?

Re: Official 2007 Patriots Draft Thread

Jamarcus Russel? Didn't see that coming.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

hes got all the tools to be a great QB..just needs to work hard and hope Oakland builds around him. They need to get him some OL and a WR or 2 if Moss is a goner. The defense is there to keep them in games

And the Raiders blow it again... they better hope Russell actually shows more than a cannon arm in the pros, because he never showed pro level decision making at LSU.

you would have picked Quinn?

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

Well Russell will help immediately. They'll win a few more games. I'm not sure Calvin Johnson would be a big hit with Andrew Walter or Trent Green as his QB.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

i would of picked Russell..first i wanted Johnson and then get a QB in round 2 but before u get anything out of your WR you need a QB..and before your QB or offense is succesfull..you need a good front OL. So QB -- OL -- whatever else u need to fill out

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

uh oh..Detroit is up..Calvin is happy..might trade him to Bucs but if they keep him .. its offical they are a bad franchise.

They're a bad franchise because they picked the best player in the draft?

definitely agree, the raiders are lousy because of bad decisions in the past. Robert Gallery, Charles Woodson, and trading for Randy Moss, and last year passing on Leinart.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

I wouldn't have picked either. I think this QB class sucks. I would have tried hard to trade down, move Randy Moss for a 3 and a 5, take Calvin Johnson if I couldn't, and get a QB at the top of the second (maybe trading back up into the first if I thought Trent Edwards was going to be gone by the start of the second). Mostly, that team needs to fill a lot of holes, so picking up more picks would be what I'd push to do, rather than paying a guy at the top of the draft that I have no real sense is going to be a franchise player, which neither Russell or Quinn strike me as.

Re: Official 2007 NFL Draft 1st Round Discussion

WHY did the Raiders not just take Leinart last year? I am willing to bet money that Leinart will be a better pro than Russell. Does anyone else realize that Russell played last season at 290 POUNDS!?!?
