Good call by you, then. He and Cousins were two other guys I was looking at all along, but they both went within 4-5 picks before I was up.

Then, I feel I've done good work because 9 out of every 10 Steelers drafts could be described just that way. Thanks.

That makes me feel a little better since I traded ahead of you specifically in fear of not getting McGlynn, who was the guy I wanted in Green Bay badly.

Well done!
I can only hope we get those 2 players without trading up and losing another reasonably high pick in the process.

Chicago - Lavelle Hawkins, WR - CalHad a great senior year for Cal - outplaying his flashier counterpart. And had a stellar Senior Bowl week. If Berrian leaves, the Bears have a dire need for a WR and between he and one other guy, this is a steal this late in the draft.

That would've been my choice.Seattle with the 91st pick selects
Roy Schuening OG OSU
It was either Benedict or Roy Schuening (or Dre Moore), who I thought would be off the board by now and probably would be the Seahawks' pick. Scheuning is a solid, unspectacular, well-rounded G prospect who could step in relatively quickly to replace Hutchinson Schuening knows how to block for Stewart and while not an ideal athlete he's productive and nasty.
Props to Evil Grin. Thought the trade down was going to blow up in my face.
Seahawk draft
Jonathon Stewart RB OU
John Carlson TE ND
Roy Schuening OG OSU
Plus extra 5th rounder from the Pack.

As the newest Packer fan to the boards I'd love to hear what other Pack fans think of my draft here.
Included a trade down from #30 to #35, adding #69 from Atlanta after all of the top tier DE's and CB's were taken. Later traded up in the 3rd round sending our 3rd and 5th to Seattle for their 3rd.
#35 - Erin Henderson, OLB, Maryland - (Not a need but an upgrade over Poppinga imo)
#60 - Thomas DeCoud, S, Cal - (Upgrade at the position with a good size, big hitting guy who can play SS/FS or even CB in a pinch. Also, an excellent special teams guy.)
#69 - Trevor Laws, DT, Notre Dame - (Quick, non-stop motor, hard-working, high production guy who actually played DE in 2007)
#86 - Mike McGlynn, OG/OT, Pitt - (Versatility the key here. Can play all 5 spots on the OL. Projected as an OG in the pros but can fill in for injuries if/when the line takes some hits.)
Wanted a stud DE or CB but they were gone. Did my best to fill needs and add upgrades.
Opinions? Rants? Stone/rock throwing?

Stewart was a RB at Oregon.

With the 92nd pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select:
Terrell Thomas - CB USC
Dallas gave strong consideration to safety Marcus Griffin and also had their eye on Schuening. Thomas was under consideration at 61. When a player drops an entire round, you don't pass on him again.
Ultimately, though, Dallas needs to shore up its CB spot. As good as Griffin is, I don't think he's good enough to replace Roy Williams. So another corner, another guy who can compete for the nickle spot and fill in for the likely injuries that go along with 30+ year old starters, led to this choice.

Ooops. Guess he'll get to know quickly how to block for him.
It's been a long draft.

The Cowboys' draft:
Rashard Mendenhall - RB
Mario Manningham - WR
Trae Williams - CB
Terrell Thomas - CB
Chicago's 2009 #1 pick
The major needs generally met. Elite prospects at RB and WR, secondary needs of the Cowboys. Two solid picks for the primary need, CB. And capturing a #1 for next year. I'd be pretty happy with this.

I thought about him as a OLB... but I wasn't sure if he could stand up. Any of you know him better?
Looks good on paper. I think the progress of the CB's and whether they pan out quickly will be the key to your draft. It really worked in your favor that this draft was Uber deep in CB's. Nice job from a Giants fan.

Next to nothing other than that he blew up some pretty good players at both the East-West game and Senior bowl.

Those were generally my thoughts as well. The key will be how quickly the rookie CBs might play. Thats a big reason why I double dipped at that spot. To improve the odds of getting production.

Others will no doubt chime in, and I've given you my thoughts as you've gone along, but again, first rate job. The only place I could see where someone could say you weren't emulating TT would be in the trading up, because the man has never done it, either with the Seahawks or the Packers. However, being an overtime interception away from the Super Bowl may convince him he can take a few chances and try to get a tad bit more 'need specific' (though I doubt it) to put his team over the top. I also wouldn't be surpised to see Thompson address a few more things in FA than last off-season, like the depth at DE with someone like LaBoy from TEN. But these are quibles. For someone who literally joined the forum yesterday, just an outstanding job.As the newest Packer fan to the boards I'd love to hear what other Pack fans think of my draft here.Included a trade down from #30 to #35, adding #69 from Atlanta after all of the top tier DE's and CB's were taken.

Patriots - Earl Bennett, WR - Vanderbilt
They'll likely lose Stallworth and Moss won't be around forever. And I'll admit - I wanted Bennett to sneak into the first three rounds.
Giants - Geno Hayes, LB - Florida St.
They already drafted one linebacker, but this adds even more depth. He may even line up as a strong safety. Gamma1210 wanted a safety or a linebacker and I didn't see any safeties I liked here.

I like Bennett a lot as he was super productive against great competition on a bad Vandy team............ .................. but do not think the Pats will go WR this early because of investing in Chad Jackson already.I will add who I would have picked as well as the draft recap for New England tomottow am.... got V Day plans going on.Andy Dufresne said:

Would be happy with this + the trade of 3rd rounder for Jason Taylor. The four biggest needs for the Vikings this offseason IMO: DE, WR, S, FBThis draft would help 3 of them if you include Taylor. Plus, Flacco would be a top 10 pick if he played for a big school. Obviously development will take longer, but is a great backup plan if Tarvaris doesn't become the QB of the future.Andy Dufresne said:

To me, the questions are1. Did you improve your team? (almost always yes)2. Did you get players that fit in well with your scheme (or your plan to change the scheme)?3. Did you address needs?4. Did you leave more pressing needs uncovered? 5. Did you get BPA?6. did you come in with a plan and execute that plan?
1. Yep2. I think so. Otah is a brawler and will help protect a young QB or maybe keep Rex in games. Brohm should be the future of the franchise. Hefney fits in the D well, and Hawkins provides a good WR2. 3. Resounding Check4. Possibly; we need improved corners, but the value wasn't there. Could also use a RB, but I think Benson, Peterson and Wolfe can suffice. May go after Turner anyway.5. I think so.6. Franchise QB, strong OT, good WR, improved D - yesI'm saying B+, only because we also spent a 09 1st.Andy Dufresne said:

1. Chris Long, DE - Virginia Needed another DE for the 3-4... no one else at the top of the draft fit the scheme. + he's a stud.
37. Chad Henne - QB - Michigan Beck isn't the guy, need to get someone that had the tools. I miss Marino.
57. Justin King, CB - Penn St I doubt he'll be here after the combine. We need a corner in the worst way and he could be special with some coaching.
64. Anthony Collins, OT - Kansas Going to be a great LT after some grooming... out O line is horrible.
73. Joseph Red Bryant - NT - Texas A&M Massive NT for the 3-4... doubt he'll be available at this spot.
It was easy to fill needs because we have them almost everywhere. I think I got steals with the last two picks. Definately need some LB help too, but you only have so many draft picks. I'm guessing that they'll fill WR and S needs through FA.

I can't believe Bennett lasted this long. He will not come close to falling out of the 3rd round in the real draft.
What receivers do you slot him over? There seem to be a lot of choices and not everyone is going WR in the first 3 rounds.
simmonjm
Footballguy
Great Job. This draft seems to good to be true. You filled major holes and at the same time provided an additional first round pick for 2009. With this draft Dallas would not have had to sign any free agents and would have money to sign Flozell to a 4-5 year deal and re-sign Hamlin to a long term deal and also redo contracts of Newman and Ware. You figure that one of the two CB's drafted would be able to play effectively in 2008 and if not you could move up in next years draft to secure Malcom Jenkins from OSU.Ridgelake said:
Dallas should do very well in this draft. The drafts strengths match Dallas' needs. WR, CB and RB are very deep in 2008. Having 2 first rounders to leverage if handled correctly like Ridge did should net them some great returns.

I'd give that draft an "A". 4 excellent prospects. I love those picks between 25 and 40. Such awesome value generally.

I really liked the trade you made. Moving down 5 spots and picking up an early 3rd was a great move. With pick #35 I might have gone with Antoine Cason since I see it as a bigger need. Henderson isn't a bad pick though. I liked the DeCoud pick at #60. DB depth/ST player is always nice, and he has the talent to work his way into a starting S role. I'm not a big fan of Trevor Laws, but I also haven't spent much time looking into the DTs yet. It is nice to have solid depth at the DL positions. I might have considered Martin Rucker there. I'll never argue with OL guys so the McGlynn pick works for me.scrumptrulescent said:As the newest Packer fan to the boards I'd love to hear what other Pack fans think of my draft here.Included a trade down from #30 to #35, adding #69 from Atlanta after all of the top tier DE's and CB's were taken. Later traded up in the 3rd round sending our 3rd and 5th to Seattle for their 3rd. #35 - Erin Henderson, OLB, Maryland - (Not a need but an upgrade over Poppinga imo)#60 - Thomas DeCoud, S, Cal - (Upgrade at the position with a good size, big hitting guy who can play SS/FS or even CB in a pinch. Also, an excellent special teams guy.)#69 - Trevor Laws, DT, Notre Dame - (Quick, non-stop motor, hard-working, high production guy who actually played DE in 2007)#86 - Mike McGlynn, OG/OT, Pitt - (Versatility the key here. Can play all 5 spots on the OL. Projected as an OG in the pros but can fill in for injuries if/when the line takes some hits.)Wanted a stud DE or CB but they were gone. Did my best to fill needs and add upgrades.Opinions? Rants? Stone/rock throwing?
Love me some San Francisco Chargers
