2008 Draft Discussion Thread

[mmasterkillah]

I will hop up and down if we can get Kenny Phillips, Brandon Flowers or Groves in the 2nd. We obviously need to do some dealing to make it possible, but I would celebrate.

2 #1s, a 2nd and a 4th for the true bust of the draft, Jeff Otah.

I'm speechless.

Carolina might as well move their team to Saskatoon.

I think it was only next year's #1, not two of them. A 2nd, and 4th, and 2009 1st for this year's #19.

its not really 2 #1's, its more like a switch of number 1's, and next year's 1, and this years 2nd and 4th

remember, they came up almost a whole round

 

[Keegs]

Mayock has guessed every pick except like 3. He's ridiculous.

How is Mel Kiper doing in comparison?

The Carolina Trade might be the worst that i have ever seen. Absolutely terrible. I feel bad for their fans.

i want us to use our 2nd and a 3rd to get to higher 2nd round or late 1st rd to get cason or groves

It's not just what they gave up...it's that they gave it up for Jeff Otah.

philly traded out of the first round.

eagles first rounder for carolina 2nd and fourth and next yrs first

 

[ALP]

anyone know what atl gave up to get into the 1st round?

btw, they reached for sam baker right?

and another note, a lot of O lineman have gone after 15 mark...a lot

another note...OLB and CB, two positions of need for US, have not been trully tapped into yet, good

another interesting note? MUCH more trading going on with 5 minutes less

 

[Remix 6]

guys still on board that i like (even though were a long way but incase of a trade up)

-Merling
-Jenkins
-Cason
-Flowers
-Groves
-Avril
-Godfrey
-Lee
-Smith

 

[BionicPatriot]

Groves, Avril, Jenkins

I really would love one of those guys, lets see. Pats are gonna have to move up pretty decent in the 2nd to get one. I can't see them falling deep in the 2nd.

Baker was a top-20 pick a couple of months ago. Nowadays, he was considered an early-to-mid second rounder. Baker was clearly the best tackle left after Otah went off the board. Atlanta obviously felt that some team would have grabbed him sooner...

 

[mvbigtuna]

Groves and Cason are guys they will look to trade up for, but the price is simply too high right now.

 

[BionicPatriot]

New England has 3 3rd rounders, Washingston with 3 2nd rounders.

I smell something...

 

[VJCPatriot]

Wow, Cowboys pass on Mendenhall to take Felix Jones.
OMG, Seattle doesn't have to do anything and Mendenhall will drop to them!!

 

[BionicPatriot]

Hard to say you reach for a good linemen in the top 20. That's the best spot for the best of them, expecting to get good linemen in all late rounds isn't a safe bet. I don't really think Atlanta reached that much.

Felix Jones is an excellent value pick for the Cowboys. Marion Barber is at his best in a 2 back system.

 

[BionicPatriot]

STEELERS TAKE MENDANHALL!!!

Man, that's surprising. Not a bad pick, it could lead to a good two back system.

 

[letekro]

Another typically fine Steeler pick.

 

[bevster]

BTW, the draft is way better to watch this year than last year. Much faster.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Holy cow, Steelers get Mendenhall to run with Willie Parker? That's an insane RB duo!
