2008 Draft Discussion Thread

i really hope we deal up and snag Groves in the next couple of picks.

 

[Zeke_Mowatt]

On another note... I absolutely love KC's draft so far. Glenn Dorsey will be great, Branden Albert at 15 was a great selection and Brandon Flowers was a steal.

I agree, they look to have had a strong 2 rounds with 3 great picks (or so it would seem - time will tell but they have to love what they got on paper)

This has always been torture for me,watching all the talent drop off the board will we eait to pick again.

I think Groves could go either of the next two picks.

about TE's...two have gone now....are they more catching te's or blocking te's?

first one (Keller) is strictly a pass catcher

Carlson is very good all around and probably one of the top blockers from the TE group

From the scouting reports, looks like both were more receiving tight ends. Kiper said that Keller was more of a receiver, and Carlson has his blocking skills listed under "weaknesses".

ESPN though, so take it with a grain of salt:

Edit: my mistake, some aspects of his blocking are negatives, but primarily he's alright I guess.

62 and 69 for a pick in here to get Groves?

the 9ers took a guard from USC projected in rd 3 by Draft Scout

 

[fumbrunner]

i'm getting nervous here. there are a bunch of tier 2 CB that we can get in round 3. but groves would be huge and he will go soon

1. Groves
2. Cliff Avril
3. Dexter Jackson
4. Jeremy Zuttah
5. John Carlson (just taken)
6. Calais Campbell
7. Des Jackson

Is Avril big enough to play OLB in the Pats system?

 

[letekro]

What are the chances Groves gets by Denver and Philly?

 

[ALP]

i hope groves doenst go to denver as a DE

 

[stevedogc]

Is Avril big enough to play OLB in the Pats system?

slim

Philly loves guys like this

 

[Sicilian]

I'd say trade up with Philly, but chances are Specter has threatened to shut down the team if they make a deal with us

 

[bevster]

sure, 6' 2 7/8" 253 lbs

Also ran a 4.51 40.

 

[fumbrunner]

Philly traded to minny.

 

[Sicilian]

Minnesota trades for Philly's pick... back to back QB's here I'm guessing.
