2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Come on. You know you are going to watch it tomorrow night.....:banger


Who's your team, and what they gonna do?

Come on baby, Daddy needs a new pair of shoes............well, some teams need new shoes, pants, jocks, underwear, shirts, eyeglasses........:r

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Man, I dunno.... Denver needs a QB in a bad way.
I mean a real QB, not their present excuses for a QB.

Only problem is, a drafted rookie QB isn't worth his weight in gnat feces.
Hopefully they can make some pick trades and come up with a winner.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Vic, I was just about to post that I pay no attention to it because, unlike the NBA draft, it is seldom that an NFL draft actually has any immediate effect upon a team. Although it's not as meaningless as the MLB draft, it always seems to take a few years before there's any real impact by any player selected.


Then I happened to look to the north, where the Jets have their training facility about a mile from me, and remembered that Mark Sanchez was in town drinking coffee and signing autographs last week. And look at what that pack of perennial losers almost pulled of last year, with only one major change to the squad. So you tell me . . . who's a game-changer coming out this year?

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

The only one that has a chance IMHO is that boy from Oklahoma..... whatshisface.:D

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Lions look like they finally have something going for them :) Hopefully we can get Suh

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Hadn't really thought about it much yet but it looks like the Raiders are looking for O-Line, I would still say that they could use something else too but hey if anything is a given Uncle Al is definitely not going to what everyone else thinks he should do.

Look for another unheard of corner back or wide receiver?

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Are you serious? There are many players every year that make impact as rookies!

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I feel for Raider fans! I see all the mock drafts with them taking a OL and I think do these guys really know Al Davis LOL.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I'm a Texans fan and I'm hoping that either RD Matthews or CB McCourtny will be there for them to pick up. I really want them to get Matthews!

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Any feelings on how this Roethelisberger situation is going to affect the draft?

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

"...with the 11th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos take Dez Bryant, wide reciever, Oklahoma State University....."

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Everyone drafted will have to give a DNA sample.

:r

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Hang around here long enough, and you'll learn - I'm NEVER serious. :D

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Sad but true! :r

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Orton is decent-he just needs a WR now and they need some help on defense.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I hope the 'Skins strengthen up the O-line. Protect the aging McNabb and provide protection for our RB's

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Who you kidding? The danny will waste another first round pick on yet another qb. Because that's really what we need...

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Dolphins are going to trade down.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

tick tock.....who's on the clock?

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I agree but what are our options? We pick 4th and the only two I think are going to make it in the NFL are Bradford whos going either 1st or 2nd and Tebow.

I think we can hold out for atleast another year. Because if we draft a QB who do we have to protect them? We would be better off strengthening the O-line then getting a QB next year or something.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Hahaha, well, after 4 decades+ of picking in the top ten, I am afraid MY team is picking
DEAD LAST, YAHOOOOoooo!
So I don't expect we'll make for much news headlines, but you know what? I am still entirely satisfied
with how my Saints did last year. I couldn't be prouder. I am not sure any other team that has won
the championship feels like I do and did after it happened. It's only a football game after all. But that
mountain was HIGH for the first team Tampa Bay ever beat. That said, I'd like to see some good
defensive interior linemen be available, some O line, maybe a late round RB and a good solid linebacker
to replace Scott Fujita.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I see the Raiders trading their what, #4 pick?, to Pittsburgh for that rat$}{I+ Roethlisberger.
Maybe Denver should beat em to it?
I see Tebow coming to the Saints in the first round, and playing Fullback. :D

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

:tpd:

But I will say that the Patriots come in second in terms of tough roads to a Championship. The Pats were the doormat of the league (like the Saints) for over 40 years. They rarely fielded a team which could be considered competitive. The one reason I give the Saints the edge is because the Pats were in the big game twice before they actually won it. Both times they were unexpected participants in the game and both times they got pretty solidly trounced each time they set Superbowl records (and not in a good way).

One thing that's really different this year about the draft is the high volume of pre-draft trades. Now that there's no salary cap to worry about trades are much easier to arrange. All these trades has really re-shaped the needs of many teams and will certainly affect the order in which players fall and the value of every pick in the draft.

My one wish for my team this year is that they actually USE their 1st round pick. I hate when the Pats trade out of the 1st round. The team could REALLY use some impact players on defense especially.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Orton blows (sorry, personal bias against him haha) Denver did pick up Brady Quinn, see if maybe he would be a better fit over there then cleveland. I certainly would start him over Kyle Orton

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Ummm yeah the Raiders said they weren't interested this morning ... I guess since he wasn't found guilty he couldn't cut it as a Raider .... :tu

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I think you kind of set it up for success this year, in that the Pats had a knack of making
cast off players work out to fit their scheme, and they could achieve a lot more with less,
at least to a greater degree than most teams in the league. All this "junk" would go to
Foxboro and end up looking like Gold.
This year they looked oddly beaten.
I think that will lead them to use that pick, lol.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...hehe.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I thought I was the only one who thought the Bears Broncos trade was just $hit being traded for $hit.
You send your crap over here and we'll send out crap over there, and we'll find out if it's just the altitude.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Right-Brady Quinn, a former first round draft pick that led his team to a 5-11 record with the 32nd ranked passing offense in the NFL.

Orton is far from a top 10 QB, but he's not in the bottom 10 either.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

As a Broncos fan, I am not worried about the QB situation.... I do have concerns about who their potential QB's are going to throw to though.....

The Broncos have MANY, MANY needs, but QB is not one of them.....

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

:tpd:

You can make many other improvements that would be much more significant upgrades than what the Broncos could get ahead of Orton. I think Quinn was brought in to compete for the starting job, but given how bad Simms was, he was primarily brought in to hold a clipboard.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Broncos musta thought different, as did I.


Yay Tebow!!!! I hope that works out!

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Tebow? He's already reached his ceiling. Excellent college player, but virtually every facet of his game translates to mediocre at the NFL. Dumb move IMO.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Expect him to run their wild cat-type offense. I am shocked he went 1st round.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

My Bills need a QB and what do they draft??? A RB...nothing wrong at all with CJ SPiller, but Clausen would have been a perfect fit. Oh well...another cold season in Buffalo. :td :td

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I personally don't see him even moving into the #2 spot ahead of Quinn.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I was stunned that Tebow went in the 1st round. I'm also surprised that Denver traded for a 2nd first round pick.

I think the reason the Patriots did so well with cast off players in the past was that they were running different schemes than everyone else. Now half the league is running a 3-4 defense and/or has an ex-Patriot as the GM or coach.

Well the Pats did pick in the 1st round this year. They just traded down two times first. UGH!!! No offense to the player they took (I know nothing about him) but I wish they would be a little more agressive in the draft. Now that there's no salary cap there's not really an advantage in using this strategy. I'm just tired of the Pats drafting mediocre players. We need IMPACT players.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I am a pretty positive guy as far as my teams go....and have nothing good to say about the Broncos draft....

I hope the powers that be prove me wrong....

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

lets not forget he was not the only starter for that team last season. Not that he had a standout year regardless, but I'd take him over Orton

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

:tpd:

I've been a Broncos fan for over 20 years - Orton has potential, Tebow, I'm not sure about. It reminds me of Warner/Leinart but our version of Warner just hasn't quite gotten there yet (partially due to options).

I'm optimistic because I have no choice. Go Broncos! :banger

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I'm so happy with the Raiders taking McClain @ #8. We have needed a strong ILB presence; this will provide it. Now onto Round 2!!

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

For as long as Best can stay healthy and provide the home-run threat he is, I am very happy with the Lions draft. I feel they could have gotten him in the 2nd round but who knows what was going on behind the scenes.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I'm pretty stoked about the Jets pick up of Wilson... He will make a great addition to the nickel and is a powerhouse on special teams.

I still think Cody would have made a nice pick up with Jenkins being hurt last year and all, but overall I am very impressed with the move this team has made during offseason and this draft pick is no different. On paper there isn't a team in the NFL right now with more raw talent. Hopefully that shows up on the field. :tu

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

He did nothing with his opportunity in Cleveland. It really seemed like he was not playing with confidence. Either the offense was very limited play calling wise or he could not progress through his options down field last year. Teams did not have to respect any routes past 8-10 yards. It was pitiful. Painful to watch. He was not a trouble maker even though his stay in Cleveland was not very rosey. I wish him well, as soon as he plays for someone else besides the Broncos...

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

I see and hear this all the time, obviously, and NO ONE on earth hates
Tebow more than me, but this statement is chock full of holes and unknowables. I think you are
forgetting a little something called GOD.
DO you think Tebow's heavenly father will let him fail? snort! I don't see that happening.


:D

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

This was the surprise of the night for me as well. Tebow couldn't have come close to surprising me like
the Spiller pick did.

I think Tebow will be calling out to "Dad" the first time a Ray Lewis or Jared Allen puts a hit on him as he takes a minute or so to pick a receiver. :r

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Depends on how he does in camp. I can't disagree with your comment but Quinn sucks.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

Seriously, do you have to knock a guy for being a well known Christian? It's one thing to evaluate his physical tools and ability to make it at the next level, but directing criticism or making a joke over his faith is weak IMO. In a world that lacks high character guys in professional sports and the corporate world, you'd think we'd be more happy to appreciate him on a personal level. It just shows how far we've fallen to resort to this level.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread
 

:tpd:

I had more typed out, but don't think its worth posting. So will just leave it as I agree with you
