*Official 1st Day Draft Thread -Round 1 - Round 3* (1 Viewer)

Holy HELL! Matt Millen is actually using his brain for once and not drafting like an idiot! Or maybe Mooch put duct tape over Millen's mouth so he couldn't speak, and Mooch is calling all the shots? :yes: I am absolutely LOVING my teams two picks so far... WOW!

 
I would like to apologize to diesel, I thought Detroit liked what they had in Pinner, I guess I thought wrong. My hope is that Detroit would trade Pinner now.

 
I think we've now officially moved into "fill the need" territory rather than BPA.Kevin JOnes or Rashaun Woods are the frontrunners for offensive ROY since they likely are stepping immediately into starting roles.

 
The Colts got screwed on the pick with Atlanta. To move out of the 1st round and only get a 2nd, moce up in the 3rd and gain a 4th. I am hoping they have some conditionals in there for next years draft. They need depth but I wouldn't have given up my 3rd.

 
Finally the 49ers make a pick and get R. Woods!!

Not much competition with only B. Lloyd and C. Wilson in front of him right now. Could put up good numbers if Rattay or Dorsey steps up.

Almost time for Gene Washington.Detroit has done a great job in this draft. I think they had a good draft last year as well. Definitely should be better this year if Harrington doesnt blow.

 
Minny finally TRADES Mike Bennett to Dallas???

I know that if that happened, Switz and I would be elevating OSmith into our top-15 RBs.I don't think Parcells wants Bennett - he needs a straight ahead runner with good vision and power to the hole, and the two best in this draft were Perry and Jones.He still needs to replace Larry Allen, too. I can't believe Parcells will leaving the draft and this offseason w/o a new starting RB.
 
If Floyd Reese does his usual semi-magic work, the Titans should come out of this draft smelling like a rose. They have, now, I believe 14 picks -- including 3 2nds, 2 3rds, and 2 5ths.

:highfive:Yes, I'd imagine that Woods would be starting over Cedrick Wilson, and opposite Brandon Lloyd. Doesn't look like a team that'll go long much, but should be able to move the chains if the O-line can keep Rattay clean.

 
Pretty suprising, what does this say about Belicek's opinion of Graham? Fauria there also, so they have to be planning some 2-TE sets.

 
I don't understand the pick, but the New England brass is brilliant. They must know something the rest of us don't. Still, with Graham and Fauria...

 
Tennessee has 4 of the next 38 picks.They will get 4 of the following:StarksTroupeOdomDockettJacob RogersJustin SmileyJake GroveNat DorseyLaBoyMichael TurnerWill PooleColclough :thumbup: SopoagaOlshanskySweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 
Marc, Dallas does have two 2nd's and supposedly Minny would be happy with a 2nd, (and hopefully more). It came from a very good source of mine from Minnesota....but don't tell anyone. :D

 
Probably 1) Jones, 1a) whoever Dallas eventually takes, and 3) Winslow.Even though it's a killer Wr draft, I don't see any of them in killer position to step in and produce #1 numbers.

Rashaun Woods? Sounds very similar to Boldin's situation last year.Jenkins? Opposite Price is a good place to be.Reggie Williams? Surrounded by a budding talent at QB, and JSmith, Kevin Johnson and Troy Edwards to learn from.Roy Williams? Will step into a starting role across from Charles Rogers.This is the classic situation of WRs heading to situations where they could have an instant impact. The top two RBs went to situations where they will probably be sitting behind starters for a large portion of the year, barring injuries.Winslow will not be dominant on a team that is deep at the receiver spot, though I think he has a good year ahead of him. Even if you give him 600 yards and 5 TDs - which would be a very good year for a TE - many of the rookie WRs mentioned above have a good chance to eclipse that.

Well, I hope Bennet IS traded - nothing would make me happier, actually, since I think it expands the RB2 pool by two - Benett in Dallas and OSmith in Minnie.However, I recall Tice saying repeatedly that none of those RBs are up for trade.
 
Seriously--I have been sort of disappointed with ESPN's coverage. Way too much talking between Mort and Michael. Mel looks pissed due to this and he is keeping quiet more than usual. Boomer looks lost.QUIT TALKING WHEN TAGS IS ANNONCING THE TERMS OF A TRADE. And now the second round is going by and we haven't heard one detail....

Exactly, Winslow should be top 5 at his position. Most of the WRs will be lucky to be top 20 at their position. I prefer Winslow in a TE rquired league.

Woods wasn't picked yet when I typed that. He has a shot.Every other guy there is a #2 Wr at best, and most aren't assured that yet. If Winslow does anything like 600/5, he'd be more valuable than any Wr who put up even considerably better #'s, simply owing to positional scarcity. That'd be like 1000/8 for a rookie Wr, or something.

Boldin wasn't exactly FAVORED to win the #1 heading into ARZ camp last year, but it WAS an open competition. Mostly, this year's crop is going towards situations where the #1 is already established, which doesn't leave that much space at the top.

Public Service:

2 1 (33) Arizona Karlos Dansby 6-5 235 OLB SR Auburn

2 2 (34) NY Giants Chris Snee 6-3 331 OG JR Boston College

2 3 (35) San Diego Igor Olshansky 6-6 305 DT JR Oregon

2 4 (36) Kansas City Junior Siavii 6-4 323 DT SR Oregon (from Detroit)

2 5 (37) Detroit Teddy Lehman 6-2 243 OLB SR Oklahoma

 
Wow, now Det adds Teddy Lehman. This is going to be a MUCH improved team next year. 2 solid CBs, 2 speedy and athletic LBs, and a solid Dline on D. 2 WRs that should strike fear into the hearts of any D, a go to RB and a young QB with now where to go but up.

 
Remember the swap of picks 6 and 7 earlier?

Yeah, but it may surprise you to hear I didn't tattoo the particulars on myself anyplace. Probably my own silly fault for assuming ESPN would keep up to date on these matters for me.
 
Okay, I went to edit my post about Vivian and accidently deleted it---sorry!!But I promise it was nothing bad.... :JoeT:
