2008 Draft Discussion Thread

[Gator Mike]

A quarterback? Wow.

 

[Zeke_Mowatt]

WTF QB??? God, seriously? I love everything up to this point, but this seems like a waste of a pick.

 

[Sicilian]

Wow... complete surprise pick. Bye bye Matt Cassel?

 

[bradmahn]

Oh no! This must mean they're gonna trade Brady!

Has anyone seen O'Connell play? Does he have a lot of upside as a back up?

 

[apple strudel]

Whoah. </stunnedObserver>

 

[Crazyeechrispats1]

Why?
Is Brady's contract more a concern then we originally thought?
Theirs Kraft being cheap again so jk.
Well Brady took some beatings so it's never a bad idea to have a backup plan just in case the unspeakable should occur.
Plus maybe we got wind the Jet's liked the guy and it was a big FU to Mangina if so am i fine with that!

 

[SoxFanNH]

Well that seems like a waste...

 

[wahwho]

I don't have a problem with it if it gives them the ability to put Brady on the sidelines in the 4th quarter...and actually keep him there.

 

[bradmahn]

NFL.com says he's an "ascending talent" with an arm capable of making all the throws and is a hard worker, but raw. Let's hope he takes advantage of Brady and learns the ropes from one of the best.

 

[Crazyeechrispats1]

He is Steve Young to Brady's Joe montanna

 

[mvbigtuna]

I had 3 QB's on my board (all fit the Patriots physical prototype "big")

O'connell i figured they would draft.

just not this high.

I guess Brady's gay antics (eyeliner, manbags and gelato) has them worried.

 

[apple strudel]

And so begins the "see what sticks" portion of the draft.

LOL! Oh boy.

 

[DaBruinz]

Who the hell is Kevin O'Connell and why did the Pats draft him when they already have Cassell and Gutierrez?

This does seem like a waste of a pick.

 

[pearlcitypatriot]

do we have apick in the 4th round?

 

[Deus Irae]

Reach in the first, reach in the second, silly trade in the third, quarterback in the third.....


And people will still attack others for pointing out the questionable nature of this draft.

 

[Crazyeechrispats1]

Hmm I believe MV is one of 3 things let's play shall we?
1. A true blue Patriot fan with no respect for the best QB any team could hope for.

2. A delusional schizo who just mutters things to himself, masturbating constantly as he writes nonsense with his keyboard.

3. A Troll probably a jet fan.

Ok if you guessed 2 and 3 you win the prize.
Tell them what they won Jonny
A winning football team now go get your shinebox jet troll!

 

[mwonow]

I guess this answers the "why trade a third rounder?" question - "because we think these guys are just fodder who won't do anything other than fill out the practice squad, if they even get that far..."

 

[bradmahn]

And so begins the "see what sticks" portion of the draft.

It's pretty early to declare that (and O'Connell's selection is no evidence that it isn't).

I wonder what their plans with Goots and Cassell are now.

 

[Wevegotmossyouaintgotoss]

will you stop with the covering your bases paranoia about brady moving , because of this 3rd round draft, kraft wont let brady go, unless he wants vick wages+10%, even then I doubt brady would leave, end of the day, be more worried about BB giving up because thats only half chance of losing brady, even then its not even a half.
