Get it On! Rookie Draft Discussion Thread (2 Viewers)

[MiniDitka]

only 10 min for minny this time, no way they get it it in time

 

[jonboltz]

EJ ... good value for sure

 

[Norman Einstein]

Green Bay.... that's obscure!

When do the Packers pick again?I doubt Simms falls past #54 (Cards).

 

[MiniDitka]

is the vikings second rounder better than their 1st???? way to make up for that mistake

 

[Harv72b]

Very nice pick Vikes...what does this mean for Beikert?

You can always make room for another LB. And he is a great value at this point in the draft.

 

[Desert_Power]

WTF? Didn't Dallas draft a center early in the 2nd last year?

I think it was a guard last year

 

[EastBayFunk]

Ragone will be a total bust.

 

[Football Jones]

Dallas' pick may not be popular, but it was a definite need. C is their weakest link on the line right now & Johnson is a stud. Good solid pick, IMO

 

[Norman Einstein]

Can't believe these TE's are going before Whitten.

 

[Harv72b]

Bennie Joppru?????Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't TE one of the few spots that Houston doesn't need?

 

[EastBayFunk]

Did Minnesota miss another pick?

 

[bueno]

Nice pick by the Jags, but Taylor Jacobs coulda really helped

I think it was a good pick for Jacksonville - haven't seen him play, but like his scouting report.

 

[Mr. Andy]

Seahawks - taking another Cougar, Rien Long here?

 

[noneother]

no...espn is slow...EJ Henderson is Minn pick

 

[Cringe]

Will MArtz be able to resist Jacobs or Washington? I say no...

 

[bueno]

Joppru to Houston? Hello! Can you say offensive linemen? Scouting report: Possesses soft hands and extends to the ball rather than allowing it to get into his body. For a tight end, Joppru displays excellent agility after the catch and can be a dangerous player with the ball in his hands. Showed great leaping ability as well for a TE. Not fast enough to get down field, and not big enough to be a blocking TE. Looks to be a good H-back in the NFL. He will never be able to be another tackle in his blocking but he could hold it for a bit. Very nice routes and solid hands, but the speed is a down fall. Joppru can't get down the field and beat coverage consistently. So how does he help here?

 

[ff weasel]

Seattle working on their seconday I see.

 

[Mr. Andy]

I swear no matter how many times I see that Wingman commercial I can't stop laughing

It was on again; and it was still as funny as the first time!"wingmaaaaaaaan!"

 

[ff weasel]

Will MArtz be able to resist Jacobs or Washington? I say no...

Piso!!! :(

 

[Harv72b]

Seattle working on their seconday I see.

It needs all the work they can give it.

 

[Brave Sir Robin]

I just woke up, fell asleep and EJ Henderson was "just" taken? Alrighty then, Rams will take either Terry Pierce or Dennis Weathersby. Is Taylor Jacobs still available?

[MiniDitka]

[faede]

Why TE?Seattle Ken Hamlin S... neutral on this one StLouis PISA TINOISAMOA.... here's some value... good pick!Kelsay still on the board?? wow.F

 

[XNOUGHT]

Not here. My daughter still has the TV....watching some movie I've never heard of called "Blind Fury." I'm relying on NFL.com and 'specially you guys.Just like Sunday mornings during the season.

 

[Harv72b]

As a side note, god how dumb does Corey Chavous come across as?

He knows his stuff; studies film of the college stars constantly. But I agree that he isn't exactly the greatest communicator in the world.

Kenny Peterson has fallen further than I thought also.

 

[ff weasel]

Definitely not dumb, just not a great speaker.

[ff weasel]

Taylor Jacobs off the board with Spurrier. Oh joy!

 

[MiniDitka]

taylor jacobs reuntied with spurrier, thanks you

 

[poppin' fresh]

He definitely knows his draft info, but needs to learn how to speak....and if I have to hear about the Vikes going for 2 against the Saints one more time....how many times can he possibly mention that?

but they're gamblers man!

 

[cracKer]

Absolutely...SEA desperately needs saftey help, with Robertson approaching retirement.

Robertson was released, and they signed Damien Robinson (Jets/Bucs)

REDSKINS DRAFT TAYLOR JACOBS!!!!!

 

[suspected]

Spurrier gets his man. Jacobs to WASH.Any opinions on what this means for Coles and Gardner

 

[Harv72b]

Taylor Jacobs to Washington. I didn't think Spurrier could resist a WR.

 

[Cringe]

I'd love to bash Spurrier for taking Gators but that's a really good value there, I think we all expected Jacobs to go mid-first.

 

[poppin' fresh]

Spurrier gets his man. Jacobs to WASH.Any opinions on what this means for Coles and Gardner

i don't think too much for those two but pat johnson should be ready for a battle.

 

[noneother]

Spurrier gets his man. Jacobs to WASH.Any opinions on what this means for Coles and Gardner

it may affect Gardner more than Coles...for the future...unless Spurtier decideds he can use all three, all the time

Why couldn't he fall a litle bit more :(

RB here?

I agree with the O-line idea but have read that they don't really like Billy Miller.

 

[Harv72b]

The Jacobs pick won't hurt Coles or Gardner, but it's very bad news for Darnerian McCants and Patrick Johnson.
