NFL Draft 2009

[Onkel Neal]

GROAN!

Raiders pick oddly, nothing unusual.
Passed up Michael Crabtree for Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland (http://www.raiders.com/Common/Article.aspx?id=62514) ...any wonder, he's the fastest receiver in the draft TM.

And then, they trade their second pick to NE and move back to 47th and pick...some guy no one has evern heard of! He's not even listed in the NFL draft tracker. :wah:

Guys, keep your phone free, you may get a call from Al Davis in the third round...

[Digital_Trucker]

I hate to say it, but I think Al needs psychiatric help. That second round pick was definitely a WTF moment:nope:

Edit : Not real sure about the guy the Falcons got in the second either. Sounds like an injury problemm. Can't complain about the trade for Gonzo or picking Peria Jerry in the first round, though.

Neal,
All you want to do is scream....:wah:
One day the "Ol Man" will be gone and there might be some normalcy............

:yep:

It's sad what he is has done to that team.

Well I was suprised they passed on Crabtree. I got nothing on the second rounder.

Whats worse though - is my Panthers once again traded away their first rounder for next year (thats 2 years in a row) to reach for a DE that really didn't impress me. And to do what - move up like 10 or so spots in the second round??? Sure we got a fourth out of it as well this year - but a fourth and mid second don't equal a first - especially when we have a need that the draft class next year is strong in. *That being QB*

Plus we failed to unload Peppers, meaning that situation is hanging over us, and its going to get ugly fast, mark my words.

Since our owner has had heart issues (thank you Lord for providing the man a heart), the Front Office seems to be run at the whim of our head coach - and his focus is one year at a time - because he is fighting for his job every year. If he wasn't so loyal to certain players, the team as a whole would be alot better off. Our GM usually is smarter than this - but we just mortgaged the future of the franchise so our head coach could try to prop up a crappy quarterback and save everyone's job for one more year. Unreal.....

At least you Raider fans can blame ownership........

Shocker...Lions draft a QB. :har: another career ruined:shifty:.

now if the vikes could get a decent QB:hmmm:

See the Packers spent there first two picks beefing up their defense,
pretty good move as that part of their game needed some work.

Speaking of defense, is it just me, or was defense the hot item this draft?:hmmm:

Yeah it seems that way. Pretty hard to win the big one without a solid "D".

This draft class was very strong defensively and not so hot on the offensive side. Couldn't have worked out better for the Falcons 'cause they needed a whole defense and they just about drafted one.

Did you take any of the Draft in DT?

Yep, what I could watch while we were entertaining our new grandson. Caught a good bit of the first day, not much of Sunday.

This wouldent happen to be the kicker from FSU would it?

If so you will be pleasently supprised. ;)

Little late with this, but a nice piece recapping the recent draft:

Packers got a B+, Raiders F, but you already knew that Neal ^^^.

Nice find there reallydedpoet:up:

The Pats get a B+
The two players that stand out are Patrick Chung and Darius Butler. But i like the look of the WR Brandon Tate after watching some footage of him. If he can get healthy and get a good pre season under his belt. I think he could add something to the offense. As they said on the Pats own TV show. He is a little like Donte Stallworth but with better hands.

Thanks MC :yep:

It should be a good year for the Pats with Brady coming back plus it looks like
they have really added to their defensive core with those picks you mentioned.

They are a quality organization.

I know :wah:

But, maybe I'm a cockeyed optimist...but it could be possible Crabtree ends up being a diva... oh, wth, I know that draft was an F for the Raiders :haha:

[CaptainHaplo]

They gave my Panthers a C... probably a bit generous but they got the reasoning for it all wrong.

Its not our recievers we need to replace (as we actually have a lot of depth there), what we need is a quarterback. I think Matt Moore may be our future, if he doesn't bust. I just can't wait till Delhomme is gone....
