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

[vtaenz]

Tennessee is using the dart board strategy. They pulled a random selection of names and put them on a big board. Then they threw some darts. Bam. Draft picks.

 

[lanceut]

Anybody else think that Jamaal Charles may be second guessing that (bad) advice he got to go pro early right about now? So much for going in the late 1st or early 2nd round, it's looking like he will likely be a second day pick now.

 

[vtaenz]

VY is slitting his wrists right now with these picks by the Titans. Unfortunately as we all know, razors are no match to vince's skin. I feel bad for the razors.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

Vince needs to demand a trade and the hell outta there.

 

[mandingo]

Let's not get carried away.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

Have you looked at the Titans draft? no Wr, no Rb, no speed, no one for Vince to throw to.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
not Tellus Holla

 

[ngnichols]

LMFAO! Tellus to the 'Boys. What a waste of a pick. Two good picks followed up by a bad one.

He may be aggy, but that was actually a good pick by the Cowboys IMO. He'll be a better player than Fasano ever was.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

NONONONO, not that aggy.

 

[KC-97HORN]

how, HOW THE **** is that a good pick.

They have an all pro Tight end already and they take Holla in the 2nd round????

Tellus Money playing for America's team...oh boy.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

With tackling machine Dan Connor there and Early Ducet Holla is a wasted pick, there are about 10 Te's that could be taken on the second day.

 

[JOSEYWALES66]

Good pick. Cowboys run a lot of double TE sets and they
only have one.

 

[RabidLonghorn]

I guess Chris Johnson will play Rb and Wr since Vince has the worst set of stone hands Wr's in the NFL.

 

[BigDLonghorn22]

Great, the Cowboys got the king of all douchebags.

they traded fasano, who was their backup. they needed another backup TE.

 

[Third Coast]

I don't see Bennett as an upgrade over Fasano. Especially for a 2nd round pick.

 

[celis]

I expected them to take Anthony Collins.

Damn. The Texans were pretty ******* nondescript in this draft and they seem to come off like bandits relative to the Cowboys and especially the Titans.

WTF are the Cowboys doing using a second round pick on a bakcup TE?

I mean... WTF?

And the Titans? Chris Johnson? Seriously? With a straight face?

Damn.

 

[celis]

What starter were they going to take in the 2nd round?

I dislike Tellus as much as anyone, but Fran wasted his talen for years. The dude would always get open only to have James VanDerBeek tuck it under and lower his head to prove just how not gay he is.

Holla!

Honestly, Bennett probably has the most upside of any TE in the draft... similar skill set to Gates. Tremendous combine numbers. Don't know about the 10 cent head, but if he screws his head on right, his pairing with Witten could be lethal.
