NFL Draft 2008 - the official Draft thread

what do you reckon we could get for him at this stage? and who would do it? Ravens?

 

I got tickets so I'd love to chat but I gotta go

 

I think Minny would want him more, he's better off as a dome QB. I can see Baltimore having interest though

 

..... ok.

 

...yeah, you have tickets to sit on your couch in front of your TV.

 

That, IMO, is our dream scenario. Get the Bengals and Saints in a bidding war for Dorsey if we can't pick someone there. Get more picks and not move down too far.

 

I am quite excited this is the first draft I get to watch on tv as I am in the uk and have only ever seen bu=its on porr internet connections

 

That's great Kipper, enjoy it!
Unforunately it starts at 3 p.m. here in the states....giving me anxiety pains..lol.

 

Oh man, they better not trade down too far, I'm already gonna be staying up 'till like 4.30am.

 

Wow, I laugh at how in the highlights Rozelle had a pregnant pause when he said 'The New York Jets select quarterback.....................................Ken O'Brien', he knew the pick was gonna be booed and wanted to pause for max effect

 

I'm sick of idiots dumping on the O'Brien pick. He was a very good qb, better than eason and blackledge certainly. And he won exactly the same amount of Super Bowls as Marino....0. Marino on the Jets...still 0 super bowls and would've gotten murdered behind our line.

 

Were the Jets really interested in Marino in '83....did the fans want Marino?

 

Petro is already working over-drive. Mods, put on your hardhats. :grin:

 

Sorta-Kinda. He really wasn't very polished at that point, was known to be an asshole and a cokehead.

but of course, 26 other teams don't get heat for not drafting Marino...only the Jets get chided (for gods sake the Pats took Eason who SUCKED)

 

NO WORKOUT WARRIORS TODAY!!!! I know people love Gholston, but he's an excellent athlete who is little more than a pretty decent football player, and who knows how decent he'll be at the next level.

I want Matt Ryan today. This franchise is devoid of talent in the QB position. If he's on the board, then he must be the pick. And I think he will be. Atlanta would be dumb to not take Dorsey, IMO.

 

ryan to atl per michael smith from espn

 

Well if we don't get Ryan...what are the chances Flacco or Henne drops to us in the 2nd? Probably pretty good with Flacco.

 

Jesus, does ESPN want to start the draft at 3 p.m. just so its reporters can "break" every draft pick before it airs! Hopefully the NFL Network gets the rights for the draft soon..Berman's an asshole drunk in just small pieces...he gets to ham it up an entire afternoon.

 

I hate the NFL network.

Michael Smith reports McFadden to Oakland.

 

Chris Mortensen is speculating that if Dorsey falls to the Raiders, Oakland might trade that pick.

Michael Smith says Raiders will pick McFadden.
