2008 NFL Draft: Open Thread 3

PrintThe 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…
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
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.
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Brandon Flowers?
I thought only the singer from the Killers was unlucky enough to have this name.
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Earl Bennett could drop
I don’t like him better than Forte, but I think he’s #2 for me now

Laws is still around
Laws
Forte
Bennett

Ok
The Raiders can always take Brohm. Don’t doubt anything coming from them.
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
they just gave
the highest salary to a rookie ever last year with jamarcus russel. al davis is crazy but not that much
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.
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?

Denver
They may take Forte here, or perhaps Sweed.

HOOSIERS
Tracy Porter and James Hardy go off back to back. Good day for Hoosier Fans.

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

My thoughts exactly Merry go bye bye
Having 2 first rounders would be awesome.

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

OUCH
The Bears take Forte… CRAP!
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Forte
It was a good pick. Henne or Brohm would have been better though. Rex Grossman is STILL their QB.

just a huge train of forte comments

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?
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
I hope not
I want someone who will play in the next 5 years

Philly take Laws
Man…
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Nope.
Laws goes to the Eagles.
I say the Colts take Jackson if he’s there. Avril might be okay.

jackson
would be perfect for the return game

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 ;)
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.

calais campbell

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

Campbell
isnt explosive enough i dont think i could be wrong i still like cliff avril
YOU DON'T
If you do, be sure he’ll be taken before we get our pick.

You're right.
Not Campbell. I’d be very glad with Avril. I’d take Quentin Groves over Campbell, too.

we all just need to quit talking
there wont be anyone left with the way we’re calling them off the board ;)
I wouldnt mind
tradeing out of this pick if we could and get some more picks for next year
Is it just me
Or Miami may end up having the best draft of the year?

redskins
have got some of the best pass catchers today
Quinton Groves
I never talked about him because i assumed he wouldn’t be there, but he’s dropping toward the Colts fast. You guys like?
my blog http://shakennbaken.blogspot.com
How Sweet would Sweed be?
I mean, we could finally get the tall target for Peyt. He perhaps also has the best pair of Hands..
Bucs and Jags trade
Jags wheeling and dealing.

And they take
Groves they must be wanting to put some preasure on Manning
Groves goes to Jacksonville. Which is okay, because he’ll be playing in LA in about three years.

Groves off the board
Too bad.. I was starting to get my hopes up..
They are getting a scary good pass-rush.. I’m thankful they kept Del Rio, at least they don’t have everything going for them..

We’re running out of options…

I think he’ll soon be gone…

if the titans are smart
which they arnt they would take him
Quiet down guys!!!
I think Fisher and Del Rio are reading this blog and making their picks accordingly!!!!
The Colts really need to take
Adam Shada here

Titans took Jason Jones
and who is Adam Shada???
Yeah.
Shada. Boy do I hope the TITANS or JAGS don’t draft Shada. Cause that would be bad for the Colts. Yeah.
:-)
Absolute shutdown corner
big, physical, great coverage skills and never gets called for pass interference.

How can these guys still be avaible, and Flacco is off the board. How??
being a saints fan as well
I’d love to see the colts and saints trade picks…saints get connor, colts get a couple more picks to add depth
Ray Rice
Went to Ravens.

i hate when this douche spoils the pick right before its announced
by torontocoltsfan on Apr 26, 2008 8:22 PM EDT reply actions
YEah
One of the announcers did this with the 46th pick. The guy at the podium said, “With the 46th pick, the Cincinnati Bengals pick, from Coastal Carolina….” and one of the talking heads said, “Simpson.”
Come on, we know you guys are smart about this stuff, but this isn’t Jeopardy! You don’t have to show off. Just let the guy announce it already!
Boy
I heard that Brett Kerns looks studly. I hope that nobody takes him…

Wa hoo!
Colts are next baby!!!!! I’ve been waiting all day for this! Thnkfully the Chiefs draft made it interesting, but I want to see what The Polian does.
Bucs on the clock
With the Colts coming up next… Yay!
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
Manning to Manningham????
Who are we gonna pick?? I wanted Forte, but he’s gone. Who’s the best RB that’s left?
Henne and Jake Long
played all 4 years as starters for Michigan. Now they play together in Miami. I wonder if they’re talking right now.
FINALLY!
Having watched a lot of the people everyone was talking about go already… I really wonder what polian will grab.
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
MANNING TO MANNINGHAM!
Come on, Polian, you know you wanna… :)
Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone
I think it will be
Cliff Avril.

I'm guessing Kevin Smith
As an OSU fan, I’d put a big no on Manningham, but that’s just me.

Huh?
A center? With a 2nd round pick?
Oh well. In Polian we trust.
Bob Sanders eats a forest on Friday so he can lay the wood on Sunday.
What?
Does this mean Saturday is gone after this contract?
Or Pollack's at guard til Saterday has nothing
In Polian I trust
my blog http://shakennbaken.blogspot.com
I hope he knows something we don't.
I was really hoping for a RB or TE. But IPWT, right?
Also, I’m still ticked about the NFLN not showing the Colts pick.
Polian
strikes again. No one saw this coming. Did anyone even suggest this guy in a mock draft…
He may be listed at center but I bet he will be in as a guard in the lineup this year.
The one comment that pops out on the nfl network is that he is a smart positional player… Polian likes smart players..

Typically
The more baffling the pick, the better it turns out to be. In that sense it was a brilliant move.
