It's just really unrealistic, every single round there are OT's going that shouldn't be going till a round or 2 later. Or people with teams that have 0 reason to take a OT with it's first or 2nd pick taking them or more than 1 of them....

Not THAT many teams need OT's to take them that high, like I highly doubt the Superbowl contending Cowboys are going to sit their first round pick on their bench for 4 years while Flozell Adams plays.

I'm assuming it's because everyone is trying to go off of BPA....and they're rating OTs pretty high because they think that's our #1 need.

Mel Kiper would have summed up several of the drafting strategies displayed in this draft very simply...

They obviously have no idea what the draft is all about.

There are a couple of teams so far that have drafted really well.

You're suppose to be drafting for the team you got not the Chiefs, example way to many OL have been taken in this draft while there are a bunch of TE's who should have been picked already available.

This is a god awful Guard draft there's 2 that deserve to go in the first 3 rounds yet 5 are gone already? Cmon......this is rather unrealistic now that I actually studied it.

If you go and look at Walters and DraftTek, the numbers of OT's, OG's, and OC's selected in the first three rounds, the numbers here are pretty much right on. Almost round for round. All three places total 11 OT's. There are 4 OG's at the other two sites vs 5 here. Draft Teck has 3 OC's, and 1 each for here and Walters.

All in all, I would say this place is doing pretty well.

Mecca 03-26-2008 01:35 PM

I might agree with you if they had gone to teams would actually pick them......I still in no way see this many OT's going this fast or this high. If that many Guards and Centers go I hope teams enjoy their busts because the interior lineman this year aren't worthy of first 3 round picks other than 2 guys.

I actually think I've done a disciplined job in this draft and have gotten good value @ every pick.

'Hamas' Jenkins 03-26-2008 03:41 PM

Jesus, I just noticed there is a stretch at the end of round 6 and into round 7 where I have like 7 out 11 picks ROFL

I picked ahead of Mecca but I didnt give a rats ass to see if he wanted to draft Jake Long or not. I took the BPA on the board and that was Chris Long. I know Hamas was the same way. So that is two out of the top 4.

Oh settle down....it was a joke.

With my 4 picks I've only reached once, and that was with my Quintin Demps pick.

I was planning on taking an OT in the 2nd round but that CB looks hella smart now. This Dutch feller is ranked right behind Sam Baker and Carl Nicks and they were taken at the top of the 2nd.

He gets a lower draft grade for selecting a dead man, unless of course it was the Undertaker.

Marco Polo 03-26-2008 09:37 PM

Thus far in the draft, the Patriots have gone OT and LB with their first 3 picks. In each of these picks, they drafted value picks, none based on need. This changes a bit.

With the 95th (and final pick for Marco Polo) in the 2008 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select CB Chevis Jackson, LSU. Jackson fills a void in the secondary and the Patriots do not have to reach too far. In one board, he is ranked as high as #76.

This was a cool draft. Let's do this again next year. Thanks everyone. Hopefully I represented the Pats well.

We should do some kind of consensus draft grading of the first three rounds by all of the teams.
