2008 Draft Discussion Thread

Put all your draft talk/smack here!!

Well I think with Chris Long gone at 2. The Falcons might take Dorsey or Ryan at #3. Look for the Ravens to try to move up aggressively for Matt Ryan now. Only question is, can they talk the Falcons out of it?

 

[MoLewisrocks]

Ryan it is.

A direct quote from the ESPN Radio broadcast, as the commissioner walks to the podium with Atlanta's pick:

"Here comes, in a blue blazer, the fashionable, likable Roger Gooddell."

WTF?

 

[VJCPatriot]

LOL. Fashionable and likeable? He would be tarred and feathered in New England.

you don't have a team until you get a QB.

Falcons make a wise decision. things are not shaping up well for a Patriot trade down. Oakland either needs to take Ellis or trade out here. Its unlikely.

 

[patchick]

This could be a terrific trade-down scenario for Oakland with Dorsey on the board. They're short on picks.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Instead Oakland takes the most explosive offensive player in the draft. Talentwise, this is the right pick, but Oakland has a LOT Of needs. They could have traded back and gotten more picks imo.

 

[patchick]

Well, with Russell at QB I guess you need all the running backs you can get.

Ok Al Davis is crazy

 

[Free_Pacman]

comeon BB, make a move to get Dorsey now.

 

[bradmahn]

Very wise pick by the Raiders here, McFadden fills an area of great need.

Crazy Davis.

comeon BB, make a move to get Dorsey now.

There HAS to be a trade here, right?? KC needs OT and DE in a big way, neither is great value at this point, and Dorsey is a stud.

edit: i don't mean the pats, by the way...

 

[VJCPatriot]

It might be harder to trade down then we thought, with the 10 minute limit. I think KC should take Gholston, or trade down for a team that is hungry for Dorsey.

 

[scroticus]

Seems now like we either take Gholston, or make a trade with the Panthers so they can get Dorsey or Ellis...

 

[makoute]

Damn the Saints are crazy too. A first and second this year and a first next year. The KC chiefs gotta pull that.

 

[Free_Pacman]

This is the worse possible scenario. Now we screwed with Ellis with no trade partner.

 

[VJCPatriot]

The Chiefs take Dorsey. That's the best player left, so I can't blame them.

 

[Urgent]

How can the Jets not take Gholston?

Pats have Ellis, or maybe a trade with Cincinnati?

 

[Patriot_in_NY]

The Chiefs take Dorsey. That's the best player left, so I can't blame them.

With their needs, I would have taken the Saints deal.

 

[Free_Pacman]

Any chance Jets don't take Gholston here?
