DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION Official 2006 NFL Draft Rounds 4-5 Tracker/Chat

Are there any tight ends left?


What other teams might need a kicker at this stage? Hasn't Dallas taken care of their need? NE must have felt that the risk was too great for a good reason AND it seems as if they do not feel particularly attached to one player, but probably have about six potential possibilities for defense.

Or maybe they'll take another rb.

there's probably three coaches in the league that have faith in their kicker and wouldn't spend a late pick on a promising college kid

 

[Ahriman]

What's taking so long?

 

[Handel]

They will go defense. The value is there now.

 

[Seymour93]

No we didn't! More offense! Haha

 

[Ahriman]

Ryan O'Callaghan, OT, Cal

A late pick, I agree. But I wonder why the Patriots felt the need to go for one in round four. We obviously have a need. Is there anyone else who is in a similar position?

 

[ayjackson]

well there's value there....projected third round....but didn't see it coming again

 

[Handel]

Good pick. A sleeper.

 

[Handel]

Has great size and a massive frame...Extremely strong player who can be dominant...Outstanding run blocker...Tough and physical with a nasty demeanor on the field...Smart with great instincts...Has good balance and can anchor...Once he locks on it is over...A hard worker and team leader with top intangibles...Has a lot of experience and has led the way for some prolific Pac-10 offensive attacks.

BB/SP really want to improve rushing.

great..Nande and Watkins gone

 

[kolbitr]

The one things that bothers me, as anyone, and why I assume he dropped so low, are the injuries. Multiple shoulder surgeries already. Tough-sounding kid, but his shoulder joints seem to be a real weak spot.

Plus, the concussions. Sounds like he has really played through pain, though.

NB: Well, they clearly didn't feel strongly about Pat Watkins, despite the lauds of many on the board. He seemed solid--wonder what the FO saw?

 

[Remix 6]

tim Dobbins gone! NOO

 

[Seymour93]

Mark Anderson is finally off the board at #159 with da Bears.

Mark Anderson is finally off the board at #159 with da Bears.

Arrrrrggghhhh... I was really holding out hope for him.
