Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Well I'll be watching all 17 hours so I'll be around here plenty. Between the mock draft, the NHL playoff thread, and presumably this thread tomorrow my post count is racking up in a hurry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kingpk Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Should be really interesting what deals go down in the next, oh, 12 hours before the 1st pick. I really wonder if the Pats will give up both 1st and a 2nd and 3rd for Detroit's #2 pick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I wished they'd only give teams 10 minutes, and not 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted April 26, 2003 One thing they really need to change is if you trade for a pick you get whatever of the 15 minutes is left, not a brand new 15. If you are trading up without knowing who you want you should be kicked out of the draft immediately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I'm curious to see where the UCLA players get picked. Ricky Manning and Mike Seidman are supposed to be mid-round selections, Saffer, Marcus Reese and Nate Fiske could eithe rbe late rounders or rookie free agents. Oh yeah and I want to see angry Jet fans get pissed over the pick. What time does the draft start? Need to set my alarm clock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I'll be watching the whole F'N thing. I like to drink on the second day. We play a drinking game where you guess whether the next team is going to draft offense or defense...and then drink when you're wrong. At that point you have no idea where the teams are going...and the picks start coming faster and faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I love when they get to the 6th and 7th rounds and make sad attempts at updating the last dozen picks between interviews, conference calls, commercials, and analysis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Just because it is a draft topic I'd like to say that the other teams in my division made stupid stupid moves today. The Jets trade I think is dumb (which makes me happy...because I'd rather they only get one first rounder this year) The Dolphins traded their second pick next year to the Pats for their third round this year...which I guess makes the Pats smart for recognizing that 2 is greater than 3 no matter when you get it. But the Pats are trying to trade with the Lions and are offering a boatload. Both #1s and their #2. I read that the Lions also wanted the #3 but I get the feeling that this deal will get done for the extra #2 next year the Pats picked up today from the Fins. Sounds good to me.

Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted April 26, 2003 The Jets trade may work out if the pats do hop over them. If that happens the Jets get Rogers or Johnson which I think makes the trade worth it, I just don't think that highly of Robertson that they are all blowing loads over.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I don't think highly enough of anyone to trade away my two #1 picks to move up this year. That was my point. That being said...I hope they all screw each other. Let the Pats take their DT and let the Jets take their WR. We'll work around it. It just boggles my mind. I mean...is DeWayne Robertson really better to have than say...Jonathon Sullivan AND Taylor Jacobs...who the Jets probably could have gotten both of if they stayed?

Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I agree, with the D Line being the deepest part of this draft I dont see the need to blow your wad going after one specific guy who isnt really a world beater or anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest the pinjockey Report post Posted April 26, 2003 My biggest hope is that Andy Reid shows some balls with the picks this year. Instead of just seing who is there at the pick move up if there is someone you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Plus...I don't trust these guys who shoot up at the last minute. I mean...shouldn't the biggest factor be how they played in actual games for the three or four years they were in college? I don't care how fast Terrell Suggs can run in a straight line! If your DE need to run 40 yards in a straight line you have bigger problems than how fast he can do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Thank you BPS I now have something to occupy my Sunday. Of course tomorrow will be drinking just for the hell of it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I agree, Robertson's ascent is unreal, especially since that fat signing bonus at #2 or #4 will buy a lot of food. Do you think if Robertson goes at #2, do the Texans look at Rogers at all or stick with Johnson. I'd probably stick with Johnson since he has the size (230 lbs.) and the speed. (4.3-4.4) I believe.

Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted April 26, 2003 It bugs me too. You're trying to tell me you'll kick a guy who's played hard for four years and produced to the curb cause he's a half-inch too short or runs a 4.5 40? And you'll take the guy who showed nothing his entire college career but suddenly pulls it all together for the combine? I can't pretend to understand the idea. The Jets have to be hoping for the Pats to move up, since the Texans will probably take Johnson at #3. If Rogers and Johnson are gone there's really no reciever worth drafting until mid-first round, unless they want to take a big reach on Washington, or just wait till second or third. The reciever class is pretty deep this year. Same with tackles, which is why I'm wondering why NE feels it has to move up to 2 to get Robertson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted April 26, 2003 I really haven't seen enough of either guy...but since Houston probably counted on Rogers being gone I would think they've probably fallen in love with picking Johnson. They're probably the safest picks in the draft either way...but I like Johnsons size and speed combo on paper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Flyboy Report post Posted April 26, 2003 Who do you think the Bears will take now since they've traded down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted April 26, 2003 God help you if the Jets get Charlie Rogers bps. I'd like to make some comments on the draft, but I'm absolutly stunned that the Bears made an intelligent and well thought out move. I'll bet my left nut it was the Jets idea. I also don't understand guys who suddenly shoot up the board, it's retarded. It's also the best way to pick out the busts. Explain to me how Robertson managed to become better than Kennedy over the summer. What did he do, grow? Get a brain transplant? It's not like the fact that he can do more squats than he could last year will make him a better tackler you know? Overrated. (no particular order) Robertson Trufant (7th pick? my ass) Palmer Boller Kwame Harris - what the fuck has this guy done to be a first round pick? "Uh, well, he's tall, he's kind of athletic". Oh, ok, great. Hey while you're at it, sign fucking A-Train before camp starts. Underrated Leftwich ("he hurt his leg". oh right. I forgot what a negative effect that will have on thinking and throwing a football, which is his job) Newman (He should be top 5 and he won't be, it's idiotic) Suggs (He should be top 5 too, if he's not it's ridiculous.) I don't know really why I'm still awake, but he's my mock top 10. Cincy - Palmer (Why? God why?) Detroit - Rogers (If Pats move up and take Robertson, I will laugh heartily) Texans - Johnson Jets- Robertson (or Rogers, depending on Pats) Cowboys - Parcells supposedly wants Kennedy. Saints could trade up for Newman. Cardinals - Suggs (Cowboys will regret passing on him) Vikings - Newman (and him) Jags - Leftwich (and him) Panthers - Trufant or Gross Ravens - Trade down with Rams to get Boller. God only knows what Martz will do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
