The 2008 NFL Draft Thread

[eazye76]

Tennessee made another stupid fucking ignorant pick - I'd be a lot more pissed if I didn't see it coming, we reached for a position we don't even really need. We should have moved up, or at last taken Ray Rice if we were going to take a RB! We have holes in our O-line, we're losing Haynesworth next year, and we have NO WR's, or left DE's! Oh well at least we draft a Fucking RB every goddamn year, WTF!!!!! There were so many guys we needed on the board when we picked, we did this same shit TWICE last year, I'll always be a Titans fan, but this shit is hard to swallow.



EDIT*** Maybe I overreacted, I hope so...

I'm pissed the Jets took at TE when all the top WR's were there

I can't believe all the McFadden haters out there. I bet all the haters hated Adrian Peterson last year too and said...oh all he is is damaged goods and cant take the NFL's punishing style. Yeah, look what he did! I agree the Raiders did not need him but if a trade was not available, they got the best talent available. Now onto Jake Long. Can anyone tell me how Joe Thomas is a dominating tackle??? Comparing Long to Thomas and saying Thomas is dominating, you seriously must be a total idiot! Joe Thomas had an average season. Dominationg tackles are Faneca, Hutchenson, Ogden, Allen, Roaf, and Pace in their primes!!! I'm sorry but Joe Thomas isn't a pimple on any of those guys asses, yet alone a dominating tackle. Jake Long was a great solid choice for the Dolphins and he gives great protection for years to come. If he does somehow suck it up as a tackle, move him to guard. He still covers the blind side. Offensive linemen are the safest picks in football. You can move them to any of 4 positions:RT, LT, RG, or LG. If a QB sucks, where can you move him? I can't get over MOST people just listen to ESPN and then critique the players the same way. I have worked in professional football for 6 years and what you hear on tv from Mel Kiper or Todd Mcshayes isn't even close to being right 95% of the time. I will say I only work security but I have friends in front office positions who say that everything you hear is just a smokescreen to throw the other teams and media off.

Dude Chris Johnson shits all over Ray Rice, and im a huge Ray Rice fan but Ray Rice is not even close to Chris Johnson's league. I wouldnt be suprised if Chris Johnson ends up being the best overall back in the draft along with Jonathan Stewart and Mendenhall.

Lets see Faneca and Hutchenson are guards.. Larry Allen is a guard.. Joe Thomas had an average season yet he made the pro bowl? ive never heard of an average pro bowl season.. anything else you'd like to add?

yeah dude, i'm sorry but you sound like a moron. half the guys you named are GUARDS not tackles and Joe Thomas had a good season against some good d end's. And i love how the security guy knows more than McShay and Kiper who's job is scouting and analyzing the NFL draft 365 days a year.

Yeah I thought for sure Tennesse was going to take a WR in the early rounds. I do understand Chris Johnson as a pick for them as he can make an immediate impact and be a great tandem with Lendale White who atleast right now is not an everydown back. However, they didnt pick a WR till the 4th round, Lavelle Hawkins who only started 8 games for Cal in two season and is on the small side at 5'11" 187. For Vince Young to do well they need good WR's and all they seem to want to do is draft projects.

[bigsmooth696969]

Yeah, I obviously goofed. I was just pissed at all the McFadden and Long bashing. You can spank me now!

[MirJitsu]

I'm pretty happy with the way the draft turned out. I'm a huge Houston Texans fans, and we filled all our needs with guys that fit the system, can't really ask for more than that.

I don't think the rest of our division did so great. Jacksonville gave up a lot for a guy that probably would have been there, and I think the Titans seriously over-drafted Chris Johnson. A lot like Chris Henry last year. Speed isn't every thing.

[Raiders18]

I like the McFadden and the Chaz pick. The others not so much.

[TheBonger]

love the Redskins draft, traded down and got two WR's with size instead of one Devin Thomas and Malcom Kelly give us alot of depth at receiver and adding Fred Davis at TE for another redzone threat should help the offense also. They need to find a DE to play opposite Andre Carter and we will be set, maybe we can get Jason Taylor on the cheap since the draft is over now.
