I wasn't high on Williams but, ineffectually slap blocking a rookie DE prospect 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage is the best highlight you can provide for Chris Williams? Ouch.
This is getting too slow for me, new Live Blog above. Feel free to continue to use this thread for discussion.
1:31
Phew. Good luck to Stewart and the Panthers, but I've very happy that neither Seattle nor Arizona selected him.
1:15
I don't like this pick at all. I don't think Mayo fits the system and I don't think his talent merits this pick.
12:56
Can we stop talking about draft picks becoming starters as if that's the yardstick of the draft? It's such a stupefying oversimplification. It's just short of meaningless.On another note, "Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories: Rick James" is as funny as it ever was. "His legs were like linguine."
12:44
Gholston is the second best player in the draft. If that front 3 can perform, I expect Gholston to hit the ground running. He's got the strength of Merriman and the hips of Ware. Could be a HOFer.
12:34
Man, take that trade KC. I like Dorsey, but man, how could that not work out?
12:26
If I were McFadden, I'd hold out. Eat shit, Al Davis.
12:15
Good, safe pick on Long. I don't think his talent earns that spot, but I'd be amazed if he busts. Downside counts and the Rams need something to build around.
12:06
Jake Long owes that pick to Joe Thomas. He's simply not the best talent in the draft. It should say under Miami's needs "team". Miami could have done better with any of the highly ranked defensive players. But thanks to the Cleveland Miracle, teams are placing position, LT, ahead of talent, Long is no Thomas. People are talking about Long and saying he's a Pro Bowl RT, you know what a Pro Bowl RT looks like? Sean Locklear. Unless he sticks at left, I think this is a bad pick. Not disastrous, just bad.
11:52
I really like Osi, seems like a classy, educated young man.
Okay, so we all know the NFL is a copycat league, and everyone is buzzing about the importance of the line positions, but an accurate assessment of last season says that the biggest impact acquisition was Randy Moss. Moss, Owens, players that transform a passing offense by themselves. It'll be interesting to see how this "line first" trend pushes down the stock of a few valuable wide receivers. I've seen Doucet as late as the third. That would be a steal.
11:33
As we wade through the talking heads, T&A and too earnest Empty Suits, I want to give everyone a heads about the posting plans for this next week. Today, tomorrow, live blog + quick reflections. Then, I'll post full, as in depth as I'm capable of, pick by pick breakdowns for each of Seattle's selections. One pick per day.
11:20We are live. Let's get this party started.
11:13
Looks like the server at PFT has crashed. That really sucks for them, my condolences. But for the grace of God...
We're nearing when I anticipate the live coverage will begin.
10:54
I guess it doesn't make much sense to put the newest stuff on the bottom. Anyway, just an FYI, NFL Live is in fact now live.
Or not.
8:08
Good Morning! I'm fresh from bed, half dressed a little hungover and out of my mind excited! Are we ready for the draft? Here's the link to the three person mock I did over at Seahawks.net. Here's the link to the NFL's live stream of the draft. I'm going to get myself some coffee, some tea, some cold pizza and then sit myself down for the show. Don't disappoint me Tim Ruskell.
8:31
Man, Humbert Humbert would be all over that Vanessa Hudgins ad. Anyway, NFL.com/LIVE seems dead, so fix that already you clods.
8:41
ESPN is reporting that Chris Long is a Ram. Better him than Gholston, IMO. I think Long is a very good player, but I don't think he deserves to go 2nd. Nevertheless, the Rams take another big step to fixing their defensive line. Long is very low downside, and Carriker was underappreciated last year. Now, about the rest of the team.
9:10
ZZzzz...so, when something happens, I'll update this.
9:30
PFT is reporting that Atlanta will be taking Matt Ryan at 3 . So here's the first three picks
Miami: Jake Long
St. Louis: Chris Long
Atlanta: Matt Ryan
The good news here is that Dorsey may fall, not fall to 25 fall, but if Seattle gets a wild hair, man, Dorsey is so tempting...plus, with Dorsey and Ellis in play, well, let's just say I wouldn't be opposed to trading up.
9:54
Raiders take McFadden. Can you say anticlimactic?
10:00
What did the five fingers say to the face?
10:35
The gift that says "I was at Bi-Mart and remembered I should buy you something"
Hopefully, this isn't total dreck, as Full Sail does the brewing. Then again, I never liked Full Sail, so...
Is the draft here yet?

I remember I was all pumped for lasts years draft
Waiting for the hawks 2nd round pick. And they selected Josh Wilson.
And you could hear me scream “WHO!!!”
That won’t happen this year because of John’s 50 mock drafts and Ruskell like brain.
Coach Owens has no bones
I'm still not convined
that John and Ruskell are different people.
Nor am I
And I’ve met John

Nevermind, I'm not getting the stream.
Just a people arguing over how to draft quarterbacks.
I don't like that the draft starts at noon now
I kept waking up all night. This is like Christmas morning when I was 8.
Yep, had that too
One dream had us getting Sedrick Ellis. My dream-brain is pretty stupid. Although still smarter than every mock draft that has us taking Balmer.
This seems like kind of a shift to me...
First Jonathan Stewart sez he’s love to be a Seahawk since they are his favorite team. Now Roy Schuening is saying the same thing. I know they’re both varying degrees of local, but I don’t remember anyone saying stuff like that 5 years ago. I don’t even remember if Jerramy Stevens was saying that sort of thing in ‘02.
Well here we go
There’s nothing like a little gin-hangover to go along with the first time I’ve been able to watch the draft in years. (Either work, or traveling, or receiving a tattoo have all interfered at some point.)
The point is, BRING IT ON! BRING ON THE PAIIIIIIN!
Awesome
I just went to get coffee and realized that today’s going to be the nicest day in Seattle since… well, since three Saturdays ago, but still.
So the first four picks are already made
And the draft would’ve normally started an hour ago…
This is kinda the worst draft experience I’ve had in awhile. And we haven’t even had to wait 15 minutes for these picks to actually be made yet.
All you're missing is
Charlie Casserly interviewing Mario Williams (which is kinda funny given the coals that Casserly was raked over for drafting him over Reggie Bush).
Kiper has us taking Calais Campbell (for what it's worth)
I could live with that.
FREE JEREMY REED!!
I've really soured on Campbell.
Dude looks like he could use some glucosamine and chondroitin, I’ve rarely seen a player look so stiff.
by John Morgan on Apr 26, 2008 10:33 AM PDT up reply actions
interesting
I remember you kinda liking Campbell a couple months ago, so it sounded like a decent pick
FREE JEREMY REED!!
Well, he still has incredible potential.
My analytical side realizes that, but my scout side says the kid looks like crap.

Yesterday: Johjima, 3Y/24M
Today: Ruskell Day
never leave me Hawks, I wouldn’t be able to cope anymore.
Can Tim Ruskell
be the GM for two different sports franchises?
Please?
What you really need is for Paul Allen to buy the franchise.
Ruskell is a good GM, but Allen is the man behind the man.
by John Morgan on Apr 26, 2008 10:39 AM PDT up reply actions
I am so glad we have Paul Allen as the owner
My 49er roommate gets a funny gleam in his eye every time Eddie DeBartolo gets mentioned (which is rare) and then just looks sad.
What no one ever mentions now is how we were the laughingstock of the league during the hiring process for GM. John Clayton would always have stories about how stupid it was that Paul Allen had his Vulcan guys doing a search for GM and how long it took.
Should be a fun day on Field Gulls
This is my first time being here for a draft, and I think a lot of LL will trickle over here for the fun. Although we have to wait until like 3pm to draft…oh well!
I fucking hate you Mariners
Not a fan of the blog I see.
That would render me dead.
by John Morgan on Apr 26, 2008 10:43 AM PDT up reply actions
3pm Eastern
I assume they start that late for TV purposes? 15 minutes a pick; Hawks pick 25th. By my math, they’ll be making their first pick sometime Tuesday morning. Sheesh.
If teams take the full 15 minutes for each pick, like last year
when they’ve already decided. I’ll be pissed. Last year’s draft pace was horrible and everyone bitched about it. How could they make the same mistake twice?
It's 10 minutes this year
Part of the change for the west coast. What’s ridiculous about that decision is… the people watching the draft on the west coast are (I’m assuming, especially based on the amount of people posting here) already awake.
Given the last live blog update
I have a pertinent draft-day question. When does the drinking officially start? Am I late? Do we wait for the first pick?
I am going cheap for this draft… a 24 (or two-four as our neighbors to the north would say) of Molson Canadian. The beer equivalent of trading down from #25.
So I'll be in and out all day
(Thats what she said)
So if someone could post the picks as they happen for the first couple rounds. That would be much appreciated.
Coach Owens has no bones
Who do you think Seattle...
Should pick to replace Brian Russell? Should they even bother?
See ya Shaun.
by SSreporters on Apr 26, 2008 11:13 AM PDT up reply actions
I think a Hole Inzone (FOU) may be available in the 9th round
And wound represent a quality upgrade… less likely to take poor tackling angles as well.
It's like game day...
with the Gulls posting beer photos. The only thing lacking are complaints about Brian Russell and/or Jordan Babineaux and/or Chris Gray.
In case you're wondering
In the ArmchairGM Mock Draft, I had two picks (#19 and #25), and I picked James Hardy at #19, and Trevor Laws at #25.
See ya Shaun.
What is wrong with Al Davis?
McFadden? Really? There are much bigger things to worry about in Oakland than RB.
Unfortunately you can't pick a new owner in the first round
The silver & black will continue to wither and crack. I don’t really care for the team much, but it’s sad to see the 9ers so pathetic for the last years after their sustained excellence under Walsh.
Why didn't they just ask Shaun to rework his contract?
That way they could trade Momo for some value..
If they could have cut SA’s contract down to the same cap hit they face for not paying him, I think it would have been better overall.
I know but it's not as much of a spot
If we had Jones backed up by TJ backed up by SA, it’s the same as what we’ve got with momo in the caboose, except we could get some trade value for MM.
SA doesn't even have value as a backup anymore
That’s why nobody wanted to trade for him, and that’s why we didn’t keep him.
I guess my point was
We’re paying for him not to be there because that money counts against the cap regardless of if he’s playing or not. If a deal could have been worked out where the dead money was the same as how much we’d pay him, we could have at least gotten some production out of him even in relief roles.
I agree though he’s a super-low utility backup… not good on 3rd downs for pass pro, not good for check downs, and gets tackled easily by Brian Russell.
Well
Shaun was on record as saying that classy organizations don’t ask their stars to redo their contracts.
Patrick Kerney, Deon Grant, Craig Terrill and Jordan Babineaux didn’t get that memo…
I remembered hearing something about
“Core players” don’t have to rework their contracts but I thought that was prior to this last offseason.
I can't really see how that was best for him
Lots of people in the league really think his tank is empty.. much worse than Jamal Lewis.
Jamal Lewis got hooked to the juvenation machine last year
I wonder if that could benefit Shaun. A lot of rumors about Shaun to the Broncos now and I could kinda visualize that.
That or a football heart transplant
He just seems to have lost his drive, desire for the game. Success is the enemy of innovation, afterall..
I can definitely see some coach/gm giving him a flyer at $1m with incentives deal to put up or shut up.
I don't think he lost heart
He’s a 30 year old running back. It happens to all of them but like 3 guys ever.
It must just be me then
His manner would probably fit real well in Indy with Dungy or some other wonder bread type area, it just got old with me.
Brohm might be a reach at 8
I wouldn’t be surprised if we traded down and Baltimore got our 25th pick.
In the back of mind I still hope the Hawks take Brohm.
FREE JEREMY REED!!
I wouldn't mind that, either
As much as I’d like to get an impact talent that helps us this year, I’ve truly loved the sustained success over the last 5 years. It begins to feel like the regular season is just the prep run for the playoffs, which is a nice feeling. Though we need to keep working on the playoff play….
kiss me suzy!
the little lady is looking decent….
OMG I CAN'T KEEP MY COOL!
ESPN sucks….the top 4 guys are already picked and they are trying to build up suspense by asking how nervous people are.

And we will pick at… what, 3:30? Aw, man!
ESPN
Is doing one thing right…no Emmitt Smiff.
Other than that, this is a disaster. Like 5000 people there, more ESPN guys than fans.
See ya Shaun.
If Emmitt was around the draft might get debacled
And if Miami has the worst record in the league, they might get to pick whoever they want first!
I wasn't expecting that!!!!!

I Can See It Now
Emmitt: Well the Miami Hurricanes did a really good better job of not…changing their draft pick from Howie Long to Chris Long. I think Jake Long will be a big, and huge impacted on the Dolphins team, and coach Bill Parcells.
See ya Shaun.
I met Emmitt in person when I lived in Dallas
He didn’t talk like that at all.
I think his strange speech patterns are a result of the training he received to become an announcer, where they removed a lot of his “you know what I’m saying” and “it is what it is” conjugational phrases (new phrase trying to capture it, heh).
He’s trying to think too hard between speaking and as a result it sounds like the exact opposite.
wtf?
we’re past 10 minutes now….come on, nfl. jesus christ
It's like this every year
Lately, it seems like if you want to watch the first round of the draft you may as well cancel anything you had planned for the entire day.

Crappy teams can least afford to pick need over bpa because they have so much less talent to start off with.

What is the deal w/ Lamont Jordan? Does anyone know? He’s getting a ton of money from them still and they had him on the bench for the bulk of last year.
Not to mention Dominic Rhodes, Michael Bush and the recently re-signed Fargas.

you have to make that trade

They’d have so many picks with that and the Allen trade.

pick is official. It totally ruins it for me.

We could see a trade still
If they can’t work out details in the 10 minute window they could get it worked out before Saints pick and trade his rights.. That offer is just too rich.
Don't the Chiefs already have 13 picks?
Perhaps they felt as if they didn’t need anymore picks, and they got the guy they really wanted.
embarassment of riches maybe
I think they’d want the extra picks so they could trade back into late 1st round and still get those other developmental picks.. but maybe they think dorsey is that good, I dunno.
Agreed
How can you turn down an additional 2nd and a 1st round pick in 2009 for Dorsey? Even if you think the Saints will bounce back, that seems like too much to pass up. Especially if ESPN is right and some Chiefs war roomers want more picks?

Last year’s 1st round took 7 hrs I think.

I'm sorry, I've just never seen you post on Field Gulls
my emotions got the best of me.
FREE JEREMY REED!!
It's ok
I understand my awesomeness can be overwhelming. I don’t know anything about football though so I’m not hanging around FG much.

Now we gots to get some of those picks
Ruskell needs to make some noise about picking Brian Brohm (or whichever QB Bmore wants) at 25 and then swap with BMore for one of those 3rd rounders…

Ummmmm..... more like 4th stringers

True. On the other hand, the Pats (and especially their fans) suck.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
This is the kind of move that means...
Maybe somebody drops to us who wouldn’t have dropped. Certainly, the corners drop a bit now, as do the 2nd tier tackles.

Pats D looked way better with him on there
You’re right, they probably didn’t trust his durability. They still could have picked Mayo way later.
SB Nation fun...
Drive-by checking of team blogs before they pick. Bills’ site had the McKelvin pick tagged.
Nice idea
Posting instant reaction from each team’s blog here…

That said
They nailed the preview…
I have these players listed according to how I think they are ranked on Denver’s board.
1. Ryan Clady, OT: The most athletic lineman in this draft, and the closest to being ready to start in a zoneblocking scheme. Outside of Branden Albert, has the most potential of any OT in the first round.by Mariner Optimist on Apr 26, 2008 1:26 PM PDT up reply actions
This might have been brought up earlier.
Does anyone in the world care about how the fans grade the draft picks? Wow, McKelvin is a “A” according to the fans! He must be awesome!

And did they grade anyone NOT an A?

And Jonathan Stewart. Screw you, fans.

Does Carolina
go RB here and take MendenStewart?
Unimpressed by Clady
Anybody watch Mayocks breakdown of Clady? He looked pretty awful, getting beat bad by Hawaii and Washington defenders.
3 things Carolina blog claims:
1st Thing We Know: Never Reach for a Prospect Based on Need
2nd Thing We know: They really want a big back.
3rd Thing We Know: The Panthers Don’t Draft QB’s Early

Great ESPN user comment
TJ (New York): The Eagles are about to do something stupid
So much for Stewart
Damn

Aw
I don’t know if I liked the idea of us taking a RB in the 1st, but it’s kinda sad to see J-Stew go.
DANG IT!!!! BAAAAAAAH!!!
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
OTs?
Boy, they’re sliding. I thought Albert would be gone by now. We could see Otah and/or Williams slide down to us. That would be interesting.

Hey! IT ALL STARTS TODAY!!! TODAY!!!!

“24bauer1” doesn’t like the Jets pick. Good screen name.

I could see the Bears staying local and taking Mendenhall
I could also say that I think that’d be stupid for them to do.
I do sorta wonder if Under Armor isn't jumping the shark a bit...
Not sure where else they can go with this kind of campaign. Soon, no one will be man enough to actually wear their stuff.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
I guess if teams didn't fuck up so many early picks
There wouldn’t be such steals for Ruskell to snatch up for us later :)
Rashard's lady is nice...
She’s a cutey

Bears could use a real RB
Looking at those RBs – Otah doesn’t fix Cedric Benson.

And Uhrlacher is threatening holdout
I love the Bears pain
by Mariner Optimist on Apr 26, 2008 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions
yeah, but...
the draft class is stacked at RB. they can get an elite tackle and a guy like Rice later-not that I wish good things to happen to the Bears. I’m not sold on Mendenhall-and I really liked him in college. I’d pass here

Seeing the Rams key pickup as JOSH BROWN
That was such a face slap

Yeah he used to come down here to Coos Bay to ride the sand dunes
My friend would always serve him at the best restaurant in town. Turncoat! I loved his show too damn it.
See? That offensive lineman is a wide receiver!
Draft him MILLEN!!

i wanted stewart
i hope he does well in carolina.
i think Jacksonville gave up way too much for derrick harvey.
Let's go.
In my mock
from months ago I had them picking Merling from Clemson… but they traded it to KC.

Boy, looks like they are SUPER busy in the Lions draft room.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
and that is why.....

KC has to grab a tackle right?
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Open door for Arizona and Mendenhall.
John Morgan, should I be alarmed?
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
I don't think
AZ grabs Mendenhall with Edge already there
I live in Phoenix.
Believe me, all the talk down here has them looking SUPER hard at Mendenhall and Stewart.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Wow, seems like a good trade for the Lions
A 3rd and a 5th for two spots?
I wonder if ESPN says to teams...
you gotta give us at least five minutes to run our mouths. You figure these teams are mostly sitting on their hands when they know they’re not trading.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
not crazy
I think Otah is the pick
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
You know Steve...
the Seahawk’s defense was actually pretty good.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Hawks have good d, 9ers are focusing on D.. how can he say that?
Rams just picked a DE at #2 too. I think Rams D is sleeper in NFCW for 08
DRC!
I’m thinking Detroit picks Mendenhall now
You would think
But that’s what I thought about Detroit. Should have known better in MillenWorld.
Sweet
Stupid early picks make Ruskell a happy boy
Where was Cherilus projected to go?
I fucking hate you Mariners
Wouldn't call it a fail...
just narrow in thinking. Maybe they didn’t care for Otah.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Uhm
So is it possible Jeff Otah falls to us now?
