Crabtree might have been a better option there, but there was no tackle worth taking. I don't blame him for going defense.

It would be interesting if we randomized the GMs for the 1st round and just redid that round only.

I don't think Crabtree or Maclin deserve a Top 10 pick.

ROFL

I've only watched this movie on a channel like TNT, so I'd never seen this part. That's funny shit.

I could see the Jaguars taking Crabtree at 8 but other than them....I don't see anyone taking him in the top 10. Maclin I don't see as a top 10 pick. I think the Raiders look at grabbing an OT with their 1st round pick.

So Mecca wanted to add to the list of drafted centers by Indy. That makes 4 in 2 years so far haha.

Dont forget Ziggy Hood is still on the board. He will be a perfect fit for a 4-3 team who runs the cover 2

Some team needs a winning franchise QB, you can't tell me you'd pass on Chase Daniel now.

I would have snatched him up by now if I didn't have Eli Manning and Drew Brees.

Dude. You lose the draft.

Chase Daniel has all the tools. He's a winner and he has all the tools.

yep. "total package"

Absolutely. The total package of tools, that he has all of.

I heard Colt McCoy has been looking for his tools ever since Chase visited him last semester.

I don't know what that means but you should draft Daniel.

Looking at how the 2nd round unfolded, I am very happy I made my decision to wait on addressing this position later rather than in the 1st round.

Ken Whisenhunt has made it no secret that he wants to transition to a 3-4 base defense like they ran in Pittsburgh during his tenure there. He has said they may try a hybrid scheme, but reading between the lines I think he's just saying that because he knows they currently don't have the personnel.

Looking over the roster, I feel the largest need by far to successfully make the move is OLB. Travis Laboy can probably be counted on, but the other side would be embarrassing if Chike Okeafor or Bertrand Berry are out there trying to run in space.

Before the combine, I felt this kid was an intriguing pick. But after he put on a show by running a 4.5 40 and 260+ pounds, I was sold. He has the pass rush moves you need for this role, and at the combine he showed he had the speed and athleticism. The Pittsburgh scheme has always utilized short and stocky OLBs that can rush rather than obsessing about size, but I think this kid has the best of both worlds.

With the addition of this player, Arizona will finally be able to make the full transition to running Pittsburgh's version of the 3-4 that Whisenhunt has been clamoring to do.

For the 63rd pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select........Lawrence Sidbury, OLB, Richmond

Craftsmen?

Dammit. I was hoping Sidbury would fall to the Chiefs.

:cuss:

There was no way he was getting past me.

I was gonna trade up. :D

Nate Davis and Rhett Bomar are still on the board. I'm good.

Tough choice there, Hamas.LMAO

neg reps to any more "repost" comments I'm tired of checking this without a pick or discussion.

Repost.

Seriously though, Marco only has about 4 hours right?

Lighten up Francis, we're waiting, TOO.

It's annoying to check a thread because it says it's 'new' when there has been no discussion. 4 'repost''s in a row was more than enough. Let's talk about the picks or wait for the next one

Now you posted and made me look in the thread without any football discussion.

In the interest of deterring future dipshittery.

Eat a dick.

I was mostly joking around. Don't take it personal.

I rarely do. I am having a ****ing terrible day at work and taking it out on random people on CP. My apologies.

He's gonna get extra time again if he needs it - I have class tonight, and I follow his pick.

Get over it pussy. :D

I hate you all.

I MEAN IT GAWDDAMMIT!!!!!

I could come up with a dozen Marco Polo jokes but really I'd like it if he just made the pick.STFU

This is ****ing bullshit. It's been a god****ing week since I've had a selection. I'm tired of waiting on these sorry ****s.

I'm honestly stunned. I thought I could get him in Round 4.

The Lions need a lot of things, but they need a DT (or two) like I need air to breathe.

The Lions select:

Evander Hood, DT, Missouri

Good pick and great value for a guy who is the #1 3 Tech in the entire draft on probably everyone's board right now.

And the DT's are flying off the board. The Rams need one. And aren't in a position to chance waiting at this point. Frnakly there are a couple of guys I figured would be there in the 4th that are already gone.

The Rams select Sen'Derrick Marks DT Auburn

Well, there are a couple of directions I could go here, but the Chiefs desperately need a pass rusher, and seem hell-bent on going to a 3-4. This guy has improved his production every year, and started for four years. He has a ton of TFL, and racked up an impressive number of sacks. He's too small to be a 4-3 DE, but he has the quickness, speed, and pass rushing repertoire to be an impact rush backer in a 3-4 scheme.

The Kansas City Chiefs select Cody Brown, OLB, Connecticut.

Glad to see this kid still on the board since he was the player I was targeting all along for this pick.

Seattle probably has the worst pair of starting safeties in the league, and I think this player has a great chance of earning a starting spot this season. He'll never be the biggest, fastest, or strongest player on the field, but he has amazing instincts and understands his role as the last line of defense. He has great ball skills and will rack up INTs as an amazing centerfielder.

The Seattle Seahawks select Rashad Johnson, FS, Alabama

With no WR's worth this spot, the Cowboys decide to help keep Romo upright. Look how much they struggled when he was hurt last year. Dallas always has had big lineman and they decide to take a huge one.

The Dallas Cowboys select Herman Johnson, G LSU

Bengals might have had the worst center in the NFL last year with Eric Grudizac. With Meredith protecting Palmer's blindside and Collins holding down the right. The Bengals have their bookends for the line for the next decade. Now they decide to add the piece in the middle.

The Cincinnati Bengals select Antoine Caldwell, C, Alabama

With all these picks happening, it's time to return to the real business of this thread:

Repost.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!! :cuss:

This isn't a ****ing update! :cuss:

hmmm...paying two QBs assloads of money....and then trading Sanchez for watered-down draft value if Cassel suceeds---therefore taking a shit on the third overall pick. Oh and if Cassel fails, then Sanchez is still a big question mark...brilliant

Spicy has until 12:16 this afternoon to make his pick, otherwise, Archie goes on the clock at 12:17 and we move forward.

Yeah, having two QBs with trade value really ****ed the <del>Patriots, Cowboys, and 49ers</del>.

You are about as worthless as sack dew.

When Jordan Black is on your 2-Deep it's obvious you need tackle help. With that being said......

The Jacksonville Jaguars select Troy Kropog, OT, Tulane

OK, so I guess I'm up.

As I said with the Pack's first round pick, they have Ryan Grant and a bunch of "eh" at RB.

Ideally I'd like to take a kid with speed and great hands as a a change of pace back to take some snaps to keep Grant fresh.

But there really aren't any kids like that here, so I considered CB here also.

But in the end, I think Grant is just an "eh" RB also anyway, and James Davis (5'11", 218) is a kid who has decent, albeit not elite speed, who runs with power and has good vision, so he could conceivably eventually take the starter's spot from Grant.

The Pack select James Davis, RB, Clemson.

With Davis on board, the Pack have a good 1-2 punch at RB.

Spicy can make his pick at any time, and the guys "on the clock" can continue as usual.

I like Davis alot. I think he is going to be a special back in the NFL. Nice pick.

Sorry about the late pick, I was traveling all yesterday and you all tore through about 5 picks in a row, heh.

Oakland Raiders select Paul Kruger, DE, Utah

You talked about him early in the season, so I made it a point to check him out and found that I agreed with you.

No problem - things happen.

Hell, we got to the 3rd round before someone missed a pick and it was only by a few hours.

IIRC, we had someone go AWOL in the first 10 picks of the 1st round last year.

Weekends dont bother me too much if somebody is late.

Me either - especially considering we're flying through this.

Well If Cassel is any good, an unproven Sanchez will have about as much trade value as Brady Quinn. That's a really good exchange. didn't everybody rooting for the chiefs to lose have the argument that the value of a top 5 pick was too great to miss out on? Only the true fans would root for the chiefs to win and risk missing out on such talent. If Cassel sucks, then he will have no trade value and Sanchez will be thrown in. No way Sanchez comes in and starts over Cassel. Brady (not third overall) fell into the pats laps and therefore so did the bledsoe trade. 49ers had an old, legendary QB and gave up a 2nd and 4th...not the third overall....Montana was not 26. Essentially you want to use the 1st and 2nd pick on a QB....****ing reeruned...
So your biggest hope while picking 3rd overall is to have both QBs...then Cassel plays well for two years...gets hurt...Sanchez plays well....and trade Sanchez for late first/early second? That's asking a lot.

this whole having two QBs with trade value just irks me. In the history of the NFL, there is no example of a team paying two young unprovens tons of money to compete for QBOTF. Should the Ravens draft Sanchez?....the Falcons?...Flacco and Ryan have good trade value at this point but aren't quite established QBs.

See 1989 Dallas Cowboys.

you're right..still don't like the idea. Im not much of a supplemental draft expert...what did they give up for Walsh?

#1 pick in the 1990 draft

And what did they end up getting in return for Walsh?

The 49ers got their rush backer in round 1, upgraded their WR corps in round 2 and they continue to build a strong D in round 3. Walt Harris is old. This guy can come in, play nickel and then eventually take over the starting CB spot. Like former teammate Brandon Flowers, Harris ran a poor 40 at the combine but this guy has outstanding ball skills and is a gamer.

The 49ers select Victor "Macho" Harris, CB, Virginia Tech.

Or, if Cassel plays OK to good, and it looks like Stafford/Sanchez are PB material, since we own Cassel's rights for two years, as a RFA (due to CBA expiration), we can put a 1st and third round claim on him and get more in return for him if we don't match anyone else who signs him to an offer sheet.

So, if you give me the option of flipping Matt Cassel to some other team who will only have to pay him 2.5 million next year for a 1st and third when we paid a second for him, and I get a year to season Stafford/Sanchez, I do that 1 billion times out of 10.

But, since the Hooties of the world only think in terms of today, they'll bash the pick.

Didn't we have this same argument several pages ago?

JFC, it's done, let it go.

****er! I was hoping The Macho Man would drop to the Vikes.

Bunker, nice pick on the OT from Tulane.

A 1st and couple thirds I believe.

Walsh, a backup to Troy Aikman since both joined the Cowboys last year, went to New Orleans in exchange for the Saints' No. 1 and No. 3 choices in 1991 and a No. 2 selection in 1992.
