NFL Draft Trade Down Horseshit Rumors From 2009 - Page 2

'Hamas' Jenkins · 02-26-2013, 07:24 PM

Hopefully this will provide some perspective to the prevarications winding their way through the "media". These are all from 2009, late in the process, before the Twittersplosion of uninformed ****tards, and it's still a confederacy of numbskulls.

Lol here is a panthers true fan comment from that...

Quote:

I 100% agree ,there are to many defensive gems out there to WASTE a pick on a 1yr wonder QB for 40mil! when we have a bench full of them already...Kiper is right and gets PAID for it UNlike Kiper wannabe's on here that think Newton's gonna start & win NOW...NOT ANY "draft expert" or scout has said Cam is NFL ready NOT 1...and JR is NOT sold on him either ,and i can tell you what that means = NO CAM!

And Cam comes in and rapes his rookie year on a shitty team.

This looks so familiar.

Wow this all sounds familiar.. Who'd have thunk it.

Well, we'd have been a hell of a lot better off if we had traded down.

Mayock: Lions should avoid drafting Matt Stafford

by Tom Kowalski Monday March 09, 2009, 7:54 PM

Mike Mayock, the draft analyst for NFL Network, was a guest on WJR tonight, joining hosts Ken Brown and Mike O'Hara. Here are some highlights from that interview (and the Detroit Lions fans who are hoping the team drafts Georgia quarterback Matt Stafford might be a little disappointed with Mayock's opinions):

--- Mayock said he believes that 2009 will be an average draft class without much star power in the top 10. He believes the draft is deep at outside linebacker and tight end but weak at guard and inside linebacker.
--- Mayock pointed out that of the last 11 underclassmen quarterbacks to be drafted in the first round, only two have been successful - Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rogers. Mayock pointed out a laundry list of failures - Heath Shuler, Ryan Leaf, Vince Young, Alex Smith and, so far, JaMarcus Russell.
Mayock said that if the Lions make a mistake at quarterback with that pick, "they won't recover for five years.''
Mayock spoke very highly of Stafford, saying he has great arm strength and is a good athlete, but also said "There are some things about him that bother me. If I was the Lions, I'd take (Aaron) Curry or one of those left tackles (Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe).
"If you have any doubts about the kid, in my opinion, you have to pass. I told everybody last year that Matt Ryan was the guy. I have questions about the guy this year.''
--- Mayock said he sees some similarities between Stafford and Denver quarterback Jay Cutler, especially arm strength, but he sees one big difference. Mayock said Cutler played for a "horrible'' Vanderbilt team but always had his team in a position to win. Stafford, meanwhile, played with two elite receivers and an NFL-caliber running back and "sometimes he looked like and sometimes he looked average ... I say 'Why?'''
--- Brown and O'Hara brought up the possibility that if the Lions drafted Curry, they might move him to middle linebacker but Mayock immediately shot that down. Mayock said Curry is the prototype SAM linebacker and shouldn't be moved.

A classically built, strong-armed quarterback, Stafford has not yet caught on as the consensus No. 1 pick.ESPN.com draft analyst Todd McShay, for example, said recently the Lions face a "nightmare" decision because Stafford is "not mentally ready" to take on the pressures of being the No. 1 overall pick. McShay said that scouts from at least 10 teams agreed with that assessment and added: "I just don't feel great about building my organization around him."NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock told a Detroit radio station that "there are some things about him that bother me," and even Stafford's biggest supporter advocates with a negative argument. Yes, Mel Kiper Jr. said the Lions should select Stafford primarily because "there is nobody else to take."

I don't think this is too far from the truth.

Stafford, like Freeman, has shown great potential but both have been very careless at times. Stafford is still ahead of Freeman but both teams have been reluctant to to extend either QB.

Mayock sounds like a true fans wet dream. Did this turd ever work for Carl or Scott?

okcchief · 02-26-2013, 08:46 PM

Good post Hamas.

I had no illusions that anyone, but Stafford would be the top pick that year. I don't know what these dipshits were smoking.

O.city · 02-26-2013, 08:47 PM

They're always all against the QB's. A Qb busts its usually pretty big and well known. LT or DT busts and no one really hears/knows about it cause it isn't that obvious.
