2008 NFL Draft: Open Thread 3

Stampedeblue_tiny by BigBlueShoe on in NFL Draft

The Titans taking Chris Johnson at #24 was the biggest reach, by far. All-in-all, there were 10 trades (10!!!) in the first round. The Chiefs had the best first round, easily.

This is another open thread. Looks like Brian Brohm is the first pick in round 2 for the Dolphins.

Scratch that, it's Phillip Merling.

WTF?

Dolphins took a DE…

Highest player left on my draft board.

That Parcells knows how to build a team.

Chiefs could have had an even better day...

I can’t believe they didn’t take the Saints’ offer…another second round pick, first round pick next year all to drop 5 spots?

Although as a Louisiana native and Saints fan I’m quite glad they didn’t…ridiculous that the Saints would offer that. Trading up to take Ellis was a much, much better pick.

Ok

It’s getting closer to our pick. I want Forte. If we take anyone else, I’ll be pissed. If we don’t take any RB at all, and let K2 be our 2nd guy next season, I’ll be VERY pissed.

Brandon Flowers?

I thought only the singer from the Killers was unlucky enough to have this name.

Wow

Chiefs are having a hell of a draft.

Earl Bennett could drop

I don’t like him better than Forte, but I think he’s #2 for me now

Chiefs

Amazing. The future is looking brighter in KC. Minnesota helped this cause, by the way.

They have a nice collection of players

and all fit the Tampa 2 Scheme perfectly

Ok

The Raiders can always take Brohm. Don’t doubt anything coming from them.

Stokley

Is Brandon Stokely the only slot receiver whose name any of these analysts know? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use another slot receiver for comparison purposes.

Damn seattle

scared me there for a moment. thought they would take laws.

DeSean Jackson

I know that it’s highly unlikely, but what happens if DeSean Jackson falls to the Colts? He would give the Colts that game-breaking returner and an absolute burner at WR. He would learn from the best in Harrison and Wayne.

The way that some of these guys have fallen is just phenomenal. I’m excited about our late 2nd round draft pick. What the hell?

They may take Forte here, or perhaps Sweed.

Thought Hardy might have gone a little higher, but good for those guys – two good players.

You gotta wonder

If the Colts are going to make a trade, and maybe pick twice today.

Having 2 first rounders would be awesome.

Forte

Goes off the board to the Bears. Let’s see who the Colts take.

Forte

It was a good pick. Henne or Brohm would have been better though. Rex Grossman is STILL their QB.

I'm more upset about Forte

than Johnson. I didn’t expect to get Chris Johnson. I thought Forte was a sure thing.

Ray Rice

Is still out there. Desean Jackson and Early Doucet, too.

Anyone with the crazy feeling that if

Henne or Brohm fall to the Colts, Polian will take?

so who do we take?

by jochexum on Apr 26, 2008 7:46 PM EDT   0 recs

Nope.

Laws goes to the Eagles.

I say the Colts take Jackson if he’s there. Avril might be okay.

Good pick for Philly

Eagles needed a DT. Laws fits their system.

honestly at this point

desean jackson wouldn’t be that bad of a pick

Our three best bets (johnson, laws and forte) are all off the board. we can get a TE and DE later in the draft. jackson would be great for returns and we don’t have any real needs so i’d be happy with him.

of course now that we’re talking about this im sure he’ll be taken ;)

by jochexum on Apr 26, 2008 7:48 PM EDT   0 recs

Just don't let the Titans know

And he may fall… :)

WRs

Limas Sweed, DeShaun Jackson, Earl Bennett, and Early Doucet still out there. So is Brian Brohm and Chad Henne. Martellus Bennett, Cliff Avril, and Ray Rice as well. Many, many good players still there.

RBs

Several excellent RBs throughout the draft. Forte is awesome, but its how it goes.

YOU DON'T

If you do, be sure he’ll be taken before we get our pick.
