NFL Draft 2009
 

GROAN!

Raiders pick oddly, nothing unusual.
Passed up Michael Crabtree for Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland ...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...

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.

Typical:doh: Would be nice if they could do something logical for a change.

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:

Here

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