I miss the old thread

"snuffalufagus fucks my shit up"

by leopoldjones on Apr 27, 2008 1:38 PM CDT   0 recs

btw im liking the bowman pick

a 6’1’’ corner with 4.36 speed? sounds like he could be a cromartie type player

Just a reminder

Does everybody know about the Shift A option to remove the yellow from new comments?

why did the steelers draft dixon

"snuffalufagus fucks my shit up"

by leopoldjones on Apr 27, 2008 1:40 PM CDT   0 recs

didnt big ben just sign a 7 year extension?

but then again dixon wasnt much of a pro prospect

by Jbasic89 on Apr 27, 2008 1:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

a 6th round pick

is hardly a cause for alarm. It’s not a bad idea to develop your own backups and you never know what he could turn into. Having said that, Colt Brennan will never develop into a pro qb.

Nothing like

an old white dude talking about sex appeal.

by GallopingGhost on Apr 27, 2008 1:43 PM CDT   0 recs

I'm thinking

Andre Woodson – QB – Kentucky

by Doctor Chicago on Apr 27, 2008 1:44 PM CDT   0 recs

unfortunately JA doesn't think that logically

we need depth at LB because of Urlacher and Briggs’ situations…thats what he’s thinking

by Sox Fan Louie on Apr 27, 2008 1:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Alright..

Woodson?
HAHAHA i dont even believe this is possible…
but I can hope right?

doesnt this happen everyear

everyone bitches about picks on draft day like they know anything about the players and they usually end up pretty good. i dont see whats wrong with drafting a monster 6’7’’ tight end to replace gilmore.

by Jbasic89 on Apr 27, 2008 1:50 PM CDT   0 recs

we just have other needs

gaurd, wr, lb, dt, and uhm qb.

the problem is not with what we got

its about what we didn’t get….

The good: This huge and gifted senior tight end is one of the fastest-rising prospects in this class after a strong finish to his erratic career. He played both defensive end and tight end over his career and recorded two sacks as a senior. He is an imposing athlete with a combination of rare size and athleticism. He is a fast-developing receiver. He has big hands and upper-body strength that should allow him to grade out higher as an inline blocker with better technique.

The bad: As a receiver, he still needs extensive repetitions at catching the ball, releasing off the line and route running to be ready for playing time. His production has not met expectations. He needs to show the work ethic to continue to improve off a strong finish to his career. He also must address some off-field issues.

Outlook: With some strength improvement and consistency as a blocker, he could be a complete player within a short time. He is capable of becoming a huge factor in a team’s passing game and a top-flight NFL performer in the right setting. This marginal top-125 prospect would be an excellent pickup for the New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears or Cincinnati Bengals.

that makes me feel a little better

both dez and greg are hard workers, maybe they can kick his ass into gear

by lawyeti on Apr 27, 2008 1:57 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Other than replacing Gilmore, no.

My friends are trying to push me further into being pissed by giving me shit (A Colts and Steelers fan) but I am starting to buy one thing they are saying: We aren’t choosing a QB. We will pick up a vet and then go for a good one early next year.

i'm so glad that the bears are so soild

that we can draft depth at corner and tight end.

I'm thinking chiefs

herm edwards just does something for me

you're gay

yeah i said it.

by tempchad on Apr 27, 2008 1:56 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

There has to be a plan

There’s no way this is the end goal. There will be a vet or something done within a month that will make this lack of QB-attention make sense.

by bs1220 on Apr 27, 2008 1:54 PM CDT   0 recs

I'll see you guys at about pick 200

Yeah

time for a long break.

by Doctor Chicago on Apr 27, 2008 1:58 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It all makes sense now..

we’re drafting with Tebow in mind. Brilliant!

by Sox Fan Louie on Apr 27, 2008 1:56 PM CDT   0 recs

i really like this draft

i think that getting chris williams will help so much because maybe now we will have at least 3 seconds to pass the ball. i think forte is a good fit for us and i cant find one negative about bennett who seems like he can be a real good one.

by Jbasic89 on Apr 27, 2008 1:58 PM CDT   0 recs

I like the draft too

Only knock on Bennett is his speed.

by Doctor Chicago on Apr 27, 2008 1:59 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

i think those of us upset are not upset because of what we have gotten...

we like the guys we got, we’re just upset that we could have gotten guys that fit bigger needs at various different spots

by Sox Fan Louie on Apr 27, 2008 2:00 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Well

the season doesn’t start in 5 minutes, we’ll see what happens.
