Official NFL Draft '08 Thread (Saturday Rds 1 2)

[CraigHorn]

vy needs a top-notch wideout badder than a hawg needs slop...

and this is what they do?

sadness transforming into anger

 

[ngnichols]

Cowboys take Mike Jenkins after trading up from #28 to #25.

 

[Iconoclast Texan]

Great Dallas fucks us over because Jenkins would have been nice.

 

[hornpharmd]

help me out what is going on, I am watching on computer....Dallas just traded up and got a 3rd 1st round pick?

Also this thing usually starts at 11am....why the F**** did they start it at 2pm today?...won't finish until midnight.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

I agree, but we were ****** with who we wanted to take. The guys they wanted were off the board.

Give me a CB - for now. Give me Cason.

 

[Squall]

it seems as if the Titans are expecting the NFL to disallow the forward pass.

mind numbing really.

grab a DE or a WR, not really that hard

 

[Next Monday]

The Titans are trying to make VY a failure.

 

[Third Coast]

The Cowboys must have suspected the Texans wanted Jenkins.

Jenkins wasn't supposed to last that long and they knew that the Texans probably were going to take him. Big-time value pick there.

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

SR 610 reports it's Duane Brown, Iconoclast.

 

[YChang]

Duane Brown RT...hmm...are they gonna move him to LT?

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

Duane Brown is the pick. Interesting.

 

[celis]

The 28th pick plus 5th and a 7th rounders to move to 25th.

Seattle is rumored to take Henne.

 

[Michael Knight]

Can Chris Berman died already

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Duane Brown isn't that sexy of a pick, but definitely addresses a need. I'll be real curious to see who we get with the additional picks (#89 & #173), because we could have had Talib, Jenkins or Otah.

 

[CraigHorn]

Any of these teams need a WR bad enough to take one in the 1st Round?

Seattle
SF
GB
Giants

 

[celis]

Rumor was wrong.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

Three years from now Mendenhall will be a pro bowler and Jones will still be backing up Barber, good job Jerry.

 

[whocares2008]

Jones has more impressive stats and against the fastest and best defenses in the country.

Why was Jones not the best choice?

 

[CraigHorn]

scratch one

 

[Third Coast]

nostradamus posts on hornfans. I do declare.

 

[CraigHorn]

dang.

did i miss something or has no one taken a WR yet?

When is the Titan's next selection?

 

[hothead25]

1 Big 12 player drafted in the first round. Pathetic

 

[celis]

IMO, Mendehall is more of an every down RB with speed and power. If Barber gets hurt he could carry the load. Or you trade Barber. He has yet to sign and when he does he is going to cost quite a bit . Barber himself is a part time player.

Felix Jones is a speed back that is projected to be a part time player.

It will be interesting if Garrett figures out how to get them both on the field like McCallister and RBush. That seemed to be very effective until Deuce got hurt.

I don't mind FJones at 22. I just think that Mendehall would be a better pick.

This is why I love the draft. FJones and Mendenhall will be tied together for their careers.

They still need another RB.

 

[CraigHorn]

First round synopsis:

1. No wideouts chosen--not even by Titans
2. One Big12 player
3. Four Trojans

 

[fall01nk]

Donnie Avery from Houston is the 1st WR taken? WOW.

 

[hornpharmd]

I am really wondering if I will ever watch pre draft hype shows again.
