***Offical 2008 NFL Draft Thread***
 

There its started now. Jake Long will be the first pick by the Dolphins.

www.rotoworld.com

The Rams have reportedly exchanged trade ideas with the Jets, who hold the No. 6 overall pick in the draft.

New York may want to get in front of Atlanta to secure Matt Ryan. St. Louis is currently on the clock and in great position to make a move. The Rams could also try to sign Glenn Dorsey before Saturday. With Jake Long out of the picture, ESPN's John Clayton says Dorsey is the top player on their board.

Would the Jets want Gholston or is Ryan there target?

According to this, the league has told the Rams that they cannot negotiate with any other available player.

That's what I was wondering. Maybe they think the Raiders or Chiefs are after Gholston.

Going to be a fun few days.

Maybe they actually want Ryan?

Doesn't it matter it was started by a retart who cun't spel official?

Their 5th QB drafted in 9 years.

:hmmm:

Why???

Hey Mecca....Tell us all again how Long would be a reach at number 5.

Long becomes the highest-paid lineman in the NFL and a 6-foot-7, 315-pound cornerstone in a rebuilding project for the new Dolphins regime led by Bill Parcells.


Jesus.....cap this shit already.

Great question, and the article doesn't explain.

I can only guess it's because this is kind of an unprecedented move, signing the 1st pick 4 days in advance.

They probably want to cover all the bases before the give STL the green light.

So does Miami pull a dick move and take up the whole 12 minutes for their pick?

I still think it's a bad pick, where he gets picked doesn't change my view.

In 1st.

I will take Bill Parcells judgment over yours any day of the week. I can't believe you have the audacity to second guess Bill Parcells. Is their any end to your arrogance?

Is there some reason for Bill Parcels to be regarded as some kind of draft genius or something? Why is it audacious?

Bill Parcells does have a decent resume.

The funny thing about this pissing match is that nobody knows if Long is a reach or not yet. You'll need to wait a few years before you can claim intellectual superiority.

But Mecca says so!

sorry Mecca, to good to pass up!

:evil:

True, but also doesn't mean he's perfect. This was the guy that traded out of the #1 pick and the chance to draft Orlando Pace to take James Farrior.

Who wouldn't have done that? Farrior is first ballot.

I'm a hopeless NFL junkie. I found someone to pick up my shift for me so I can watch the NFL Draft and get some papers done.

Bill Parcells has successfully rebuilt every team he has been hired on. You don't do that without making solid decisions on players. He has the resume to back it up. What does mr. know it all have to back him up? Nothing. He talks out of his ass constantly on here.

Parcells draft history is up and down.......Bobby Carpenter and Marcus Spears anyone...

He favors some positions over others and some of them I don't agree with.

If I ruin your life that much ignore me, you bitch like a petulant child when I don't even speak to you, either move on or shut the **** up, it's old.

I would love the Rams to deal the #2 pick with the Jets. That way one of McFadden, Gholston or Ryan would be gone before our pick meaning one of Dorsey, Long or Ellis would be available. I'd love the Jets to trade up for Gholston or McFadden and the Falcons selecting Ryan. Although unlikely, that'd be ideal, IMO.

I would be almost anything it's $$$$$. ESPN probably gets big money from advertisers in the first hour of the draft. If everyone already knows the first 4 picks by the time the draft comes around, no one will watch, and ratings will suffer.

Bill Parcells who passed on Orlando Pace and Stephen Jackson for Julius Jones and fucking James Farrior. Who spent a high third round pick on Scott Frost in a draft where he didn't have a pick in the top 50.

He just spent the #1 overall pick on a right tackle.

If Parcells had as much genius as he had bitch tits, he'd actually be what you say he is.

Parchells - the draft isnt his best suit, his best is his coaching ability and to mold a team into the 3-4 defensive mode. If you look at his teams, he recyles players through - Giants to Pats to Jets to Cowboys now Dolphins. And those guys fit into what he wants. I wouldnt go out and say he is some mastermind drafter though - his drafts have been pretty average.

QFT, LMAO

and this actually makes me happy. i didnt want us using our 5th on a position thats so deep this draft. come on Ellis, Dorsey, C Long, Gholston, Ryan :hail:

providing we dont shoot our own feet with a Clady bullet.... all should be well

Chiefs trade Jared Allen for draft picks.

saweet! less than 24 hours now...don't forget to put your bets in the sports betting section on who our #1 will be :thumb:

Speaking of which, who was the genious that bet on Jake Long?

Matt Ryan QB Boston College $3225

Chris Long DE Virginia $7020

Darren McFadden RB Arkansas $32

Jake Long OT Michigan $375

Glenn Dorsey DT LSU $1220

Sedrick Ellis DT USC $1990

don't know which thread is official, but I'll post the same question:

anyone know if it's possible to embed an rss feed in the header that would update the round one picks?

well to be fair it was about a week before the phins signed him so..

I forgot we had that...whatever happened to it?

i don't remember one

but it seems like something that should exist and it would be cool if the thread was automatically updated as the posting goes crazy....

yeah there used to be one at the top of the lounge just under the sub forum links that had chiefs news....

someone check out this draft widget from nfl.com

it looks cool, could we make it work in the header?
