****The REAL OFFICIAL 2008 NFL Draft Thread****

[ChiefsFire]

Next years first to get Otah??

Whiskey
Tango
Foxtrot

[jjchieffan]

High price to pay for Otah

[melbar]

Panthers gave up next years 1st and this years 2nd!??

[ChiefaRoo]

Brohm in the 2nd or an OL? Hmmmm.....

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I have a question. What are the odds that Dennis Dixon will be drafted by the Chiefs in the 4th or 5th?

The reason why I ask is that Gailey was the OC for Pittsburgh while Kordell Stewart was there....

More likely he goes in the 6th-7th.

[Mecca]

Ok Mr Spelling Cop

LOL it's no biggie I just don't want everyone doing that.

[Basileus777]

Devin Thomas or Jenkins to the Bucs.

[Buehler445]

Carolina is definitely stupid for giving up their FIRST next year.

[Mecca]

Carolina got ripped off...

[ChiefsCountry]

You'd be a great politican....you pick and choose from what people say and paste and cut it to mean what you want to interpret.

I said his only value would be as a 3rd down receiver.

I could care less about whether or not you are a fan....in fact, your statement that you are not a big fan of my evaluations skills makes me feel much better.

mmaddog
*******

No way Woodson plays WR in the NFL. He is slow as shit. He is a passing quarterback plain and simple.

[markk]

Carolina gave up a 2nd, 4th, and next year's first to move up and get Otah.

Insane

[Molitoth]

Holy crap it sucks to be a Panthers fan.

[Coach]

Shit, Philly just took Carolina's sack lunch!

[the Talking Can]

good god

panthers give up a 2nd, 4th, and NEXT YEARS #1


****ing retarded

[kstater]

Eagles bent over the Panthers.

2nd 4th and 2009 1st.

[58-4ever]

Philly is going to suck for a while.

[dj56dt58]

When we drafted Dorsey....:crybaby:...that was a special moment.

yeah..I get the feeling this guys gonna be one of the greatest defensive players...ever.

[chiefs1111]

I cant believe the panthers gave up that much for Otah

[Delano]

DeSean Jackson checking his phone.

NOPE - noone callin' fool.

[Coach]

More likely he goes in the 6th-7th.

Okay, 5th to 7th. Anywhere in those rounds are a crap shoot anyways.

Still, does it raises the possibility of that happening?

[Mosbonian]

Yea but you think Andre Woodson is a WR.....I'm not a big fan of your QB evaluation skills.

P.S here.....the fact that you think that Woodson will be an NFL QB taints any argument you throw out here about my assessment skills.

mmaddog
*******

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Mecca: If Merling and Groves are there at 35, who do you go with?

[tk13]

John Fox is selling the farm for this year.

[Dylan]

Everyone is picking tackles --

Geez, Carolina gave up way too much to the Eagles

[Mecca]

Philly is going to suck for a while.

Huh? They just ripped off Carolina...

[ChiefsFire]

yeah..I get the feeling this guys gonna be one of the greatest defensive players...ever.

Neil Smith-ish

[Basileus777]

Wow, Panthers got hosed. They must love Otah.

[Mecca]

Mecca: If Merling and Groves are there at 35, who do you go with?

Groves, I don't like Merling not much of a rusher doesn't fit cover to isn't fast, he's like a black Chris Kelsay.

[markk]

and they did that just so Jordan Gross could stay at RT?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Some of these awful picks have really given the Cowboys huge value.

[nychief]

John Fox is selling the farm for this year.

Bill Cowher is going to be pissed.

[kstater]

Talib to TB.

[Delano]

Hahaha..

REACH.

[siberian khatru]

Wow

[Coach]

Talib to Tampa.

[L.A. Chieffan]

whoops

[Mecca]

Yes Talib!

Now we can't pick his worthless ass.

[Basileus777]

Talib? Reach.

[Ultra Peanut]

Welp,

[ChiefsFire]

ROCK CHALK

[ChiefsCountry]

For all the Gayhawks fans, Bucs took your boy

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Talib??

Well I did say Gruden would do something retarded.

[chiefs1111]

wow,theres a shock

[dirk digler]

Talib Interesting pick

[Dylan]

Damn... thats a very good deal for the Eagles. Hate to see that

[Rausch]

I have a question. What are the odds that Dennis Dixon will be drafted by the Chiefs in the 4th or 5th?

The reason why I ask is that Gailey was the OC for Pittsburgh while Kordell Stewart was there....

Gailey is THE reason to believe our offense will work. He ammended his offense to play without a TE, a slow and plodding runnign game, and with "Slash." He truly does use the talent at hand and find a way to bring their strengths out. He's the perfect OC for a rebuild.

He won't push for a mobile QB but he'll find an offense that fits the QB. The one area of Brodie we never did and should have used was his mobility. Move him out of the pocket or bootleg. Not consistently, but as a change up. Move him around to avoid the rush if your line sucks.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Talib to TB. Damn I wanted him to be a chief.

[cdcox]

Good, Beaker crap off the board.

[KCChiefsMan]

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!

I'm happy for Talib!

[keg in kc]

About where I thought Talib would go.

[kstater]

If you're going to show the KU/KSU game, show the play where he gets burnt by Nelson.

[L.A. Chieffan]

NFLN and ESPN are broadcasting at the same time whoever asked earlier in the thread

[the Talking Can]

pathers gave up just a little less than Minny for Allen


that is criminally stupid...WOW


and mendenhal is still there...just like LJ

[chiefbowe82]

so who do you guys want with our third pick

[ArrowheadHawk]

Talib? Reach.:stupid:

[Rausch]

For all the Gayhawks fans, Bucs took your boy

Reached, overpaid in the trade, and didn't address biggest need.

[dj56dt58]

Neil Smith-ish

I was thinking Reggie White-ish (hoping)

[Hammock Parties]

We should trade up for Mike Jenkins now.

[Ultra Peanut]

P.S here.....the fact that you think that Woodson will be an NFL QB taints any argument you throw out here about my assessment skills.

mmaddog
*******No. Jesus.

Wrong. So wrong.

[Mecca]

That was awesomeness 1 of the players I in no way wanted.

[Mosbonian]

No way Woodson plays WR in the NFL. He is slow as shit. He is a passing quarterback plain and simple.

You watch him play? He isn't that good...

And BTW, you don't have to be fast to be a possession reciever, which is what I said is his only worth to the NFL. Mecca put the words in my mouth that I said he would be a full time receiver.

mmaddog
*******

[markk]

too high for talib even before the 3 weed positives

[dirk digler]

If you're going to show the KU/KSU game, show the play where he gets burnt by Nelson.

NFLN just did

[siberian khatru]

If you're going to show the KU/KSU game, show the play where he gets burnt by Nelson.

Ask and ye shall receive

[ArrowheadHawk]

Good, Beaker crap off the board.:spock:

[Ultra Peanut]

pathers gave up just a little less than Minny for Allen


that is criminally stupid...WOWOh my God.

I can't wait until DeAngelo's a free agent.

[nychief]

We'd have to trade ahead of Green Bay if we really wanted Brohm.

[L.A. Chieffan]

'work on his skeeeels'

['Hamas' Jenkins]

The Skins really should take Jenkins here.

[Fairplay]

When we drafted Dorsey....:crybaby:...that was a special moment.

Touching to say the least. I was affected emotionally, a kodak moment if you will.

Years from now people will ask "Where were you when we drafted Dorsey"?

[Tits McGee]

Talib to TB. Damn I wanted him to be a chief.

spare me.

[ChiefsCountry]

You watch him play? He isn't that good...

And BTW, you don't have to be fast to be a possession reciever, which is what I said is his only worth to the NFL. Mecca put the words in my mouth that I said he would be a full time receiver.

mmaddog
*******

ALL BC WOODSON IS BLACK DOESNT MEAN HE IS SWITCHING POSITIONS.

[Mecca]

The Cowboys are going to get a stud like Mendenhall....man

[Delano]

pathers gave up just a little less than Minny for Allen


that is criminally stupid...WOW


and mendenhal is still there...just like LJ

Mendenhall to the Dallas Cowboys.

Lucky bastards.

[ChiefsFire]

Deion is going to build Talib into his mini-me.

[KCChiefsMan]

We'd have to trade ahead of Green Bay if we really wanted Brohm.

I seriously doubt GB will take a QB now. Why would they, they drafted Aaron Rodgers in the 1st a few years ago.

[NUMBER7]

At least Talib may get to play in Arrowhead on November 2.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Stubby!

[Coach]

The Cowboys are going to get a stud like Mendenhall....man

Jesus, nobody even thought Mendenhall could drop that far.

Still Felix Jones is still there though....

[Mosbonian]

No. Jesus.

Wrong. So wrong.

In what way? Do you believe that Woodson will be an NFL QB?

mmaddog
*******

[Delano]

:stupid:

Take off the homer glasses.

[Al Bundy]

Talib is a Buccaneer.. I can live with that. I see many picksixes in his future.

[Dylan]

eagles robbed them...

redskins will take a safety ------ i think lol

[ArrowheadHawk]

spare me.
:doh!: We need a corner. And he is a good corner. Whats with all the Mizzou hate?

[Mr. Laz]

For all the Gayhawks fans, Bucs took your boy

good ..... i didn't want him

[Dylan]

hope they don't take phillips

[dirk digler]

Redskins make a trade

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I wonder if this was a trade with another team in strong need of a RB.

[Pierce]

Talib will be a good pro.

[Buehler445]

good ..... i didn't want him

Me neither.

[Mosbonian]

ALL BC WOODSON IS BLACK DOESNT MEAN HE IS SWITCHING POSITIONS.

You are as bad as Mecca throwing out the race card.....please tell me where you got that impression?

Mecca send you an IM....because that is the same thing he has accused me of all along.

mmaddog
*******

[nychief]

I seriously doubt GB will take a QB now. Why would they, they drafted Aaron Rodgers in the 1st a few years ago.

this guy names Favre has decided not to quit... so I don't know... might be a void there...a little one.

[Basileus777]

Talib is strictly a Cover-2 CB, but those aren't worth first round picks IMO.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Take off the homer glasses.It's not homer glasses. He is one of the top 20 players in this years draft. What is wrong with wanted to pick him the second round?

[teedubya]

Hahaha... a "Beaker" went before any "MUrons"

[kstater]

ATL trading with Washington?

[Pierce]

:doh!: We need a corner. And he is a good corner. Whats with all the Mizzou hate?

Maybe a little upset the Hawks won a national championship in an important sport?

[Mecca]

I have no idea who Atlanta is coming for.

[dirk digler]

The Skins traded with the Falcons

[banyon]

ATL wants Mendenhall?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Who the hell are the Falcons taking here? Jenkins?

[Basileus777]

Brohm?

[Rausch]

Can anyone think of 1 team who's draft they'd trade with over ours?

So far, honestly, how have we done anything wrong at this point?

[kstater]

What does ATL want?

[Mecca]

Hahaha... a "Beaker" went before any "MUrons"

Yea I'm glad cause I didn't want the Chiefs to get him.

[chiefs1111]

hmmmmm is this where they get their qb?

[ChiefsFanatic]

You are as bad as Mecca throwing out the race card.....please tell me where you got that impression?

Mecca send you an IM....because that is the same thing he has accused me of all along.

mmaddog
*******

Dude, I am right there with you. Woodson sucks, and I can't believe he ever got any hype. If someone picks him at QB, then they deserve him at QB!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

ATL wants Mendenhall?

No. They have Turner and Norwood.

[nychief]

Albert has an interview on the washington post website where he says he will be a LT and start.

[tk13]

Maybe they're taking Mendenhall?

[Mecca]

Brohm?

They took Ryan..

[Basileus777]

Please be Henne.

[Mecca]

Maybe they're taking Mendenhall?

After paying Michael Turner?

[Rausch]

Who the hell are the Falcons taking here? Jenkins?

Too late to trade down.

[ChiefsCountry]

You are as bad as Mecca throwing out the race card.....please tell me where you got that impression?

Mecca send you an IM....because that is the same thing he has accused me of all along.

mmaddog
*******

No I didnt get it from Mecca.

[Coach]

Sam Baker.

[kstater]

Baker.

[Mecca]

Sam Baker.....that's really high.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

OMG!!!

[JBucc]

Baker! Wow!

[nychief]

falcons take sam baker.... shit.

[DenverChief]

Brohm?

you would have to be a flippin idiot to take 2 QB's in the first round

[58-4ever]

Brohm?

They have Ryan?

[chiefs1111]

wow

[Delano]

HOLY SHAT.

Baker shot up the board.

[Hammock Parties]

Good...hate Baker.

[banyon]

Baker, LOL

[dirk digler]

Sam Baker - Atlanta

Damn

[L.A. Chieffan]

SHEET

[ChiefsFire]

Ouch.....

No Baker in round 2

[Mr. Laz]

wow ... baker went high

[EyePod]

DAMN YOU FALCONS!!!

[Mecca]

There's a run so teams are reaching...

[jjchieffan]

Falcons take Baker..Carap that is high

[58-4ever]

I think that's a good pick.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Baker at 21??? WTF??

God, Atlanta's GM is an IDIOT. 10 spots too high, dude.

[keg in kc]

Wow, crazy early.

[chiefs1111]

Thats a bit of a reach there id say

[Dylan]

wow... so many trades going down --atlanta now has another first

[ChiefsFire]

This draft has been sick....

Lovin the pace.

[Coach]

A little reach. Good player, but not at that 21st.

[Mecca]

falcons take sam baker.... shit.

It's fine that was to early it will push other top guys down the board...

Let's hope for Quinton Groves.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

There hasn't been a good pick since the Cardinals took DRC. Not one.

[HIChief]

Can anyone definitely confirm what the trade was for the 15th pick? I've heard two versions. 1) We traded away a 3rd and 5th. 2) We swaped 3rds and traded away a 5th. Which is it?

[kstater]

What did they give up to reach for Baker?

They could have traded into Miami's spot in the second for much less.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

It was funny listening to people in the mock draft talk about people drafting because the CHIEFS needed an OT. They said there was no way that 5 OT's would get drafted in the first round. Umm. Oops.

[Mecca]

Baker at 21??? WTF??

God, Atlanta's GM is an IDIOT. 10 spots too high, dude.

Yea serious reach.....but their GM is from NE so we should believe him right?

[Mosbonian]

No I didnt get it from Mecca.

Then please be man enough to explain your response....

mmaddog
*******

[Delano]

Mendenhall.

No brainer.

[chiefs1111]

Wouldn't of he have been there when they picked in the 2nd round???

[nychief]

nicks or Anthony

['Hamas' Jenkins]

So Dallas gets Mendenhall and the Steelers get Jenkins. Ouch.

[Shag]

Can anyone definitely confirm what the trade was for the 15th pick? I've heard two versions. 1) We traded away a 3rd and 5th. 2) We swaped 3rds and traded away a 5th. Which is it?

Swapped 3rds, gave away 5th. Only lost one pick.

[dirk digler]

Offensive Lineman are flying off the board

[tk13]

I wonder who they thought was going to take Baker between now and their pick.

[Basileus777]

Sam baker? He would have been available later in the round...makes no sense to me at all.

[kstater]

Can anyone definitely confirm what the trade was for the 15th pick? I've heard two versions. 1) We traded away a 3rd and 5th. 2) We swaped 3rds and traded away a 5th. Which is it?

Swapped 3rds and gave away a 5th.

66 to 76 in the 3rd.

[Mecca]

Now Dallas will get Mendenhall do to other teams stupidity...

Well him or Mike Jenkins.

[Basileus777]

Can anyone definitely confirm what the trade was for the 15th pick? I've heard two versions. 1) We traded away a 3rd and 5th. 2) We swaped 3rds and traded away a 5th. Which is it?

The latter. We moved down 10 spots in the 3rd and gave up a 5th.

[jjchieffan]

This is starting to look like the planets mock. Teams reaching for Olinemen. Sure glad we made the move for Albert.

[Ultra Peanut]

Atlanta is so bad.

[Coach]

Steelers are f**ked. They needed O-linemen...

[Mecca]

The Chiefs shouldn't take an OT with their next pick, not with this run..

The Chiefs should target DE, CB and possibly QB or even WR....go with the positions no one is taking instead of going with the run and taking a player at bad value.

[Delano]

Can anyone definitely confirm what the trade was for the 15th pick? I've heard two versions. 1) We traded away a 3rd and 5th. 2) We swaped 3rds and traded away a 5th. Which is it?

Jesus. Seriously?

KC gave up the 17 and 76 for the 15, 66th and a fifth rounder.

[markk]

Talib is a Buccaneer.. I can live with that. I see many picksixes in his future.

you can't sit on the same route on every play in the nfl

[L.A. Chieffan]

Im feeding my kids steak laced with hormones everyday and teaching him to be an OT

[Dylan]

cowgirls might take mendenhall

[Ultra Peanut]

Jenkins would be a good pick for the Cowboys, but Mendenhall has to be tempting.

[J Diddy]

is there anyway to turn off that java crap in the thread header, it makes my page reload time unbearable and it doesn't even have accurate info

[EyePod]

Anyone else want Cason in the 2nd? I think he'd be a steal.

[Buehler445]

I wonder who they thought was going to take Baker between now and their pick.

I would have liked him.

[keg in kc]

The Chiefs shouldn't take an OT with their next pick, not with this run..

The Chiefs should target DE, CB and possibly QB or even WR....go with the positions no one is taking instead of going with the run and taking a player at bad value.Yep.

I don't think Groves is going to make it to us, but it gets more likely after this run.

Jenkins might be there, too, although also unlikely.

[Delano]

Now Dallas will get Mendenhall do to other teams stupidity...

Well him or Mike Jenkins.

It's due not do. I just don't want anyone to get that wrong.

:D

[Coach]

Now Dallas will get Mendenhall do to other teams stupidity...

Well him or Mike Jenkins.

They may need a receiver as well....

[KCChiefsMan]

they are running for the OT's, glad we got one of the top ones!!!!

[Mecca]

Anyone else want Cason in the 2nd? I think he'd be a steal.

I like him, right now Groves is my guy though in our scheme the DE is more valuable and it's a deep CB year.

[Rausch]

Offensive Lineman are flying off the board

Good time to hit WR/S.

You know it's going to happen - always does. Carl must be shouting through his gag in the corner of the room for a safety...

[ChiefsCountry]

Then please be man enough to explain your response....

mmaddog
*******

Why do you think he wil be a receiver? Seriousally Woodson is a drop back passer, he wasnt a scrambler at Kentucky. Only logically reason is bc he is black and that he is athlete. Which he is not.

[melbar]

This is starting to look like the planets mock. Teams reaching for Olinemen. Sure glad we made the move for Albert.

EVERY mock has had these guys going in the 1st. Its not reaching if the talent is there and it is.

[Mr. Laz]

this is where we really need to focus on BPA


we seem to screw up the 2nd round every year

[L.A. Chieffan]

Cowboys have a 7 year old running their draft apparently

[Mr. Flopnuts]

The Chiefs shouldn't take an OT with their next pick, not with this run..

The Chiefs should target DE, CB and possibly QB or even WR....go with the positions no one is taking instead of going with the run and taking a player at bad value.

I agree. We have too many needs to get caught up in this bullshit. It's starting to look like we could get our hands on that #1 WR we've been talking about. There's a shit ton of good Oline prospects in this draft.

[DTLB58]

Chiefs 1st rd presser us up on the web site

[58-4ever]

I'd love to see Brohm in the 2nd, and a CB, WR, and another offensive lineman in the 3rd.

[markk]

Can anyone definitely confirm what the trade was for the 15th pick? I've heard two versions. 1) We traded away a 3rd and 5th. 2) We swaped 3rds and traded away a 5th. Which is it?

swapped thirds and gave the 5th we got for Green

[keg in kc]

they are running for the OT's, glad we got one of the top ones!!!!Yeah, that Albert trade looks better with every passing pick.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

this is where we really need to focus on BPA


we seem to screw up the 2nd round every year

I honestly think that with what we've already accomplished, that's exactly what we'll do. We have that luxury for the first time in years.

[chiefs1111]

I think the Cowboys will go with Jenkins here,doesn't sound like they like WR at this spot

[58-4ever]

Three white players at the top of the draft. I wonder when the last time that has happened.

[the Talking Can]

this thread has been in perpetual motion for 2 hrs...


the beauty of drafting bpa and not reaching is that others start to reach and value falls to you...

Dallas can get mendenhal....and we may have a shot at groves, jenkins, a WR, etc...

[Mecca]

I agree. We have too many needs to get caught up in this bullshit. It's starting to look like we could get our hands on that #1 WR we've been talking about. There's a shit ton of good Oline prospects in this draft.

Now if Devin Thomas did somehow fall, he fills 2 needs. He's the compliment to Bowe at 6'1 with 4.3 speed and he is also a returner...

[Rausch]

I agree. We have too many needs to get caught up in this bullshit. It's starting to look like we could get our hands on that #1 WR we've been talking about.

I wouldn't trade up for any WR but I'd take one in the 2nd. Pick of the litter right now...

['Hamas' Jenkins]

The Cowboys would be retarded to pick Jones over Mendenhall.

[Mecca]

I'd like to add that I did say the Chiefs should look at trading up for Albert...

[Mr. Flopnuts]

IF we somehow land Dorsey/Albert/Brohm that would be better than what I was "dreaming" about. Could this really be the beginning to a KC Super Bowl run? It sure feels like it right now. We've got a long ways too go.

[CHIEF4EVER]

Good time to hit WR/S.

You know it's going to happen - always does. Carl must be shouting through his gag in the corner of the room for a safety...

Anyone who even mentions Safety or Converted Safety needs to be tied to a chair and beaten to death with a ball peen hammer. :#

[Dylan]

girls need a rb...

[Mecca]

The Cowboys would be retarded to pick Jones over Mendenhall.

But maybe they take Jenkins cause they know they can take Jones at 28?

[melbar]

Mayocks top again

1 Mendenhall
2 PMerling
3 M. Jenking
4. F Jones
5. Keller
6 TJohnson
7 Flowers
8 Thomas
9 D Connor
10 K Balmer

[tk13]

The funny thing is we probably set up this run on linemen by trading up for Albert... and we still probably made the best value trade to do it. We're playing everyone else very effectively so far.

[EyePod]

So is Albert gonna go to RG or LG and what happens with Waters if he isn't going to center? Albert is a LG....

[keg in kc]

this thread has been in perpetual motion for 2 hrs...


the beauty of drafting bpa and not reaching is that others start to reach and value falls to you...

Dallas can get mendenhal....and we may have a shot at groves, jenkins, a WR, etc...Well, that's the plus side of having so many holes that every bpa fills a need.

[markk]

I'd really like Brohm to compliment Dorsey and Albert.

[JBucc]

Felix!

[Coach]

Felix Jones over Mendenhall.

[Delano]

OMG.

Jones is such a dumbass.

[markk]

Felix Jones?

[banyon]

The Cowboys would be retarded to pick Jones over Mendenhall.

ROFL:doh!:

[Mecca]

They did take Jones.......wow that was stupid, they could have waited till 28 and taken Jenkins.

[chiefs1111]

wow,they took Jones over RM

[Ultra Peanut]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuumb.

[dirk digler]

LMAO Jerry Jones gets his Razorback RB

[keg in kc]

So is Albert gonna go to RG or LG and what happens with Waters if he isn't going to center? Albert is a LG....Albert's going to tackle, they're not playing him at guard.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

God, WHAT A completely retarded pick. Just galactically stupid.

[Rausch]

There are a ton of playmaking HB's out there as well. If LJ's fully back we're good, but if not we've moved Smith from solid b/u to starter. I don't know about that...

[Mecca]

So is Albert gonna go to RG or LG and what happens with Waters if he isn't going to center? Albert is a LG....

Albert is going to be given a chance to play OT.

[ChiefsCountry]

What is Mendenhall falls to our spot in the second?

[nychief]

IF we somehow land Dorsey/Albert/Brohm that would be better than what I was "dreaming" about. Could this really be the beginning to a KC Super Bowl run? It sure feels like it right now. We've got a long ways too go.

check yourself.

[KCChiefsMan]

Jerry Jones got his Arkansas boy, I wonder if that was a homer pick by him with Mendenhall still there

[kstater]

Guess the negative press about Mendenhall last week hurt him.

[the Talking Can]

did mendenhall get caught with a bong in the bathroom?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

What a stupid ****ing pick. Thank you Jerry Jones.

[Mecca]

That's dumb because if Jones was their guy they could have taken Jenkins there and still got Jones at 28.

[chiefs1111]

I wonder what the Steelers will do here.........

[nychief]

Albert is going to be given a chance to play OT.

Again. washingtonpost.com has an interview up wtih Albert...says the he is playing LT for the chiefs.

[cdcox]

Jones from Arkansas takes Jones from Arkansas

[Coach]

Who should the Steelers pick?

[Mecca]

What is Mendenhall falls to our spot in the second?

I'd seriously consider it, but I think Seattle takes him if he drops much further.

[Rausch]

God, WHAT A completely retarded pick. Just galactically stupid.

I absolutely love Barber. He's the real deal. Physical, fast, shifty.

You pick a guy in the 4th/5th to compliment him, not this early...

[Ultra Peanut]

I can't get over how great this is. We get Dorsey and Albert, Denver and Dallas **** up in epic fashion, Baltimore and Tampa provide some hilarity...

[BigRock]

It's the same thing I was talking about last night in a thread about the Falcons not taking Dorsey... a team gets so locked on a player they expect be there (Felix Jones) that they don't adjust when a better player falls.

They're going to regret taking Jones over Mendenhall...

[ArrowheadHawk]

I like him, right now Groves is my guy though in our scheme the DE is more valuable and it's a deep CB year.
What about Lawrence Jackson (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?id=11741)?

I say the Steelers give Ben what he wants and go with James Hardy.

I wonder what the Steelers will do here.........


Trade down.

Felix Jones isn't even close to Rashard Mendenhall. They aren't in the same league. Again, I still haven't seen a good pick since DRC.

And the Steelers just jump all over Mendenhall.

did mendenhall get caught with a bong in the bathroom?Either a bong or a dong.

[banyon]

What do the Steelers go with here? Devin Thomas?

[JBucc]

Looks like the Steelers are ringing up Mendenhall

[chiefs1111]

I can't believe everyone on espn seems to like that pick

[Ultra Peanut]

Looks like the Cowboys' loss is the Steelers' gain.

I absolutely love Barber. He's the real deal. Physical, fast, shifty.

You pick a guy in the 4th/5th to compliment him, not this early...Pretty much the same principle as the Panthers and DeAngelo. You don't take someone at #13 to complement him, you pick up Matt Forte a little later to provide some Thunder to help out your Lightning.

Why do you think he wil be a receiver? Seriousally Woodson is a drop back passer, he wasnt a scrambler at Kentucky. Only logically reason is bc he is black and that he is athlete. Which he is not.

Why do I think he could be a possession receiver? Because he has good hands, holds onto the ball, and can take a hit. When he had to run as a QB he was a "smart" runner. A 3rd down, or possession receiver, has to be able to take a hit, get yardage after a catch and be able to hold onto the ball. What you don't need is to be fast....I have even given examples of guys like Fred Belitnekoff, Steve Largent, Todd McNair or even Hines Ward. None of those guys were fast....and were valued 3rd down receivers.

And FWIW, you can't truly think he is a drop back passer...if you do then you didn't see many of his games and are guessing.

Isn't Groves a 3-4 DE, not the 4-3?

[Delano]

Mendenhall going to the Steelers.

Willie Parker and Mendenhall. Nice combo.

[Mecca]

What about Lawrence Jackson (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?id=11741)?

Like Lawrence too, I'd rate them almost equal honestly, both ahead of Merling.

[Rausch]

Who should the Steelers pick?

CB. They only have 1 legit guy.

Perhaps WR...

Edit: Next

[keg in kc]

Got spoiled by those first two picks, this waiting sucks.

[Dylan]

lol good pick for the cowboys.... they left mendenhall on the board l lmao

[Mr. Laz]

Albert is going to be given a chance to play OT.

says they guy who insisted that Dorsey wouldn't be there at 5

[Mecca]

Isn't Groves a 3-4 DE, not the 4-3?

In cover 2 he can put his hand down and be a DE, cover 2 DE's are small look at Freeney and Mathis up in Indy.
