I think Jones disappoints. When I started to think of the Boys taking Chris Johnson, I realized it scared me a bit.
Great trade for ATL. That team is building a very respectable core for the future.
2:29
Damn, Baker gone. Atl getting better. I think 7-9 in 2008.
2:17
Looks like DeSean Jackson will be there at 25. Man...it's. just. so. tempting.
2:04
Joe Flacco's Arm: Dear Lord, Gigantism!
1:57
Damn, good pick for AZ. I was hoping they'd overvalue Mendenhall. And Cherilus? Matt Millen, you rube.
1:51
First pick I'm really interested in. Cards are dangerous. They're team health was awful last year, and they have the foundation for a good O and D. Kind of holding my breath here.

THANK YOU ARIZONA!!!
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Great move by the Lions
they can still get Mendenhall, and grabbed some extra picks
Did Arizona just get "one hell of a pick"?

good guess, I bet

Ouch. BURN, fans. BURN.

Does Mommy like it that Baltimore is drafting her son?
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Will Baltimore
really select Flacco over Brohm?
assuming no one else trades up
which is a stretch, I know, Brohm will be there for the Hawks.
so maybe we'll trade down
"Hey, guess what? Nobody cares who would win in a crazy fantasy fist-fight between Anne Frank and Lizzie Borden." The Monarch
by crushedoptimist on Apr 26, 2008 2:03 PM PDT up reply actions
fair enough
either result will be great for the Hawks
How is Flacco any different from Kyle Boller?
At least Boller came from a real school
How funny would it be
if Seattle bluffed Baltimore into moving up by faking an interest in Flacco?
can we please stop with the fan comments?
I don’t read those comments on espn.com for a reason
"Hey, guess what? Nobody cares who would win in a crazy fantasy fist-fight between Anne Frank and Lizzie Borden." The Monarch

Well, Kyle Boller at the very least
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
All the WRs still available too
Even thought I’d prefer to not select one, if they are ALL available, Ruskell might go there
"Hey, guess what? Nobody cares who would win in a crazy fantasy fist-fight between Anne Frank and Lizzie Borden." The Monarch
by crushedoptimist on Apr 26, 2008 2:06 PM PDT reply actions
I doubt it.
Wideouts can be had in the later rounds, and Ruskell knows it.
Seriously, we are going to have an abundance of possibilities....
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Looks like John Morgan's pick will still be around (Sam Baker)

Uh oh. Don't do it, Panthers
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Panthers after a DE to replace Rucker maybe?
Merling is there, Campbell is there
If Car picks Otah
I suspect they will move Travelle Wharton inside to guard to make up for the loss of Wahle.

"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
That was seriously weak. Some producer needed to be yelling at Keyshawn.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Mendenhall
Will he still be there at 25? And if yes, do the Hawks then pick him?
nope.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Ruskell did say he doesn't like the one-year wonders
And Mendenhall kinda fits in that box
The ESPN talking heads don't shut up
They think they’re the show.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
This draft is flying by
I still don’t have a good grasp on what teams gave up to pull off these trades
Gholston
If Vernon Gholston isn’t using steriods, I’ll turn gay. I hope the Jets fans enjoy him before the inevitable suspensions sure to follow. He’s this draft’s version of Tony Mandarich.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.
Hope you enjoy watching "Bravo"
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Ha ha
In all seriousness, that guy is a flagrant juicer.
Staying on the sunny side of Blake Street since 1993.
I don't think he's using them anymore
But I think he definitely used them earlier. My good friend is a roid user and I’ve known him since kindergarten. After he started using the shape of his head changed, and he looks like Gholston. Bones get thicker, changes the structure. He’s a dead ringer for em.
the price of moving up this year is...
like, “wow.” it’s the return of bobby beathard.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
Wow. Maybe the Vikings weren't completely hosed in their trade either.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Looks like Devin Thomas
"Hey, guess what? Nobody cares who would win in a crazy fantasy fist-fight between Anne Frank and Lizzie Borden." The Monarch
by crushedoptimist on Apr 26, 2008 2:18 PM PDT reply actions
Inflated trade-up market

OK... don't know who Devin Thomas was talking to now

Aqib on weed
Cornerback, Kansas
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
actually, this is a great pick
he’s a phenomenal zone corner and the fat man (mangino) is an NFL caliber defensive mind. I expect Talib to play well from day 1.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
The path to Brian Brohm is now offically open.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
This was a good pick for TB
Continuing to rebuild that great defense

Honestly no idea
but teams have been throwing around picks like used condoms in Vegas

I doubt QB
If Mendenhall is on the board and so is Thomas we can’t take Brohm
Holy shit, if Brohm is still on the board at our pick
We might get some awesome offers to trade
Know what I learned today thanks to Field Gulls?
Vanessa Hudgens (who?) has apologized for racy photos. Good for you, Vanessa Hudgens.

perfect fit in a WCO
or as close to a perfect fit as you get from a kid who didn’t exactly run the offense in college.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
thanks for comments
I say go for our short term needs, during our ‘window’ of potential to reach superbowl.
Brohm helps make that window
significantly larger.
QB for the future
He would be a possibility in the second round
Anyone thinking of Chirs Farley with that Pizza Hut hidden camera spot?
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
when Pitt is drafting at 23 can someone with knowledge
go over the top 3 or 4 options that may remain on the board for us if we pick and kinda give us a little scouting report on each?
I fucking hate you Mariners
I would have to shower
It would be dirty if we could steal Laws & Jackson
No no, that was a prediction not the actual pick
If I remember right you might not be watching so I wanted to make sure you knew
oh thank god
You had me worried. Ya I don’t have anything but FG to go off right now.
Coach Owens has no bones
by Scruffy Lefty on Apr 26, 2008 2:29 PM PDT up reply actions
So many to choose from
At this point the Hawks have tons of valuable players left on the board. Trading down would give us options for: Brohm, Laws, Washington, Keller, Carson, Jackson…
Atlanta moves up...
hmmm…
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
WTF is Atlanta doing?
Mendenhall?

Well, there goes JM's pick...
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
Gah
Well, trading down is looking more and more palatable
That's okay...it's all okay.
Ruskell shall save us all.
I didn't need to see Sam Baker running shirtless
What size were those boxer briefs?
Unlike what I shout on LL, "TAKKKKKKE"
I’m going to say…”TRAAAADE.”
I fucking hate you Mariners
I like all four options, actually. We’re in pretty good shape.
by AtomicGarden on Apr 26, 2008 2:33 PM PDT up reply actions
Given the price of moving up...
and all the picks ATL has I wonder what they gave up to WAS to get this pick.
"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin
BAKER!
ahahaha, when this pick happened i came here first thing. yay birds!!
Just say Brohm. Just say Brohm.
"Why is it every time I need to get somewhere, we get waylaid by jackassery?" - Dr. Venture
But wouldn't they be worried
that the Hawks would pick one and Houston the other?
I say Dalls takes Jenkins
I fucking hate you Mariners
Wow, looks to me that the Falcons didn't give up much
3 picks for 3 picks, plus they still have a 2nd rounder after giving those two up.
1st round in 2009 likely a top 5 pick
Especially if they give Matt Ryan PT – so from that perspective, not so bad a trade

Uh oh Mendenhall didn't go
Not that Ruskell would do it, but you never know. Man Mendenhall has dropped.
i hope so give us an extra 3rd and next year 3rd or something awesome
http://seattlesportsmaniac.blogspot.com
All that has to happen
is for another team to think Ruskell needs a back to replace Alexander. If that happens, the Hawks could trade down and grab one hell of a bounty.
If I were Chicago
I’d trade up and get him, just because Benson sucks, and to appease thefans

Felix Jones sucked in NCAA 08
Fumbled all the friggin’ time.

Yep
that’s the best way to do player analysis. Marcus Tubbs is rated 98 in 2010 my Madden Career mode.
Jake Locker went pro after his sophomore year. Jerk.

Could we trade down to early 2nd (top 5) and still get him?
I fucking hate you Mariners
now that i think about it, i dont love that move for atlanta...
baker isn’t very highly regarded relative to a deep tackle class, and almost assuredly would’ve been available in the second round. oh well, he’s a good player and i should be happy about that.
oh, and
felix over mendenhall is just a patently unintelligent move. mendenhall is just way better.
Looks like Mendenhall is gone
Now he’s on the phone… but do the Steelers need him? They have Willie Parker…

one of Brohm, Jackson, Merling
oh man, what a choice.
can i get a scouting report on Merling?
I fucking hate you Mariners
I'm actually relieved
that Mendenhall isn’t there to tempt Ruskell.
my money is still on Merling
DE from Clemson, I imagine he’s high on the Hawks board.
I bet Thomas goes to the Titans
FREE JEREMY REED!!
The suspense and anticipation
is freaking killing me.
draft Lincecum!!!
I fucking hate you Mariners
Oh get over it.
He’d be a setup man in our bullpen right now if we had drafted him.

DeSean Jackson is on the board.
Should we snag him?

A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
No wideouts in the first two rounds
in my opinion.
Mendenhall AND Brohm still on the board
Trade bait, trade bait, trade bait!
Pittsburgh took Mendenhall
But yes, there’s tons of trade bait up there.
We are in great position.
Hot damn hot damn hot damn
I wonder if Ruskell even accounted for things going this well
It’s such an unlikely compilation of bad decisions by the teams ahead of us.
I like that none of the previous like 5 picks
really affected what we were looking to draft
I fucking hate you Mariners
Blah blah blah
NFL Network, ignore the Hawks at your own risk.
BROHM!!!
Have I mentioned who I want them to pick?

NFL Network better get back from commercial before the Hawks pick
Most here are way too optimistic

I LOVE YOU RUSKELL!
only dropped 3 spots?
we’ll still get one of those top guys!
Good, I wonder who the cowboys wanted?
Limas Sweed? Jones loves his homegrown boys
http://seattlesportsmaniac.blogspot.com
Yeah, but...
If we only moved down three picks, we’re probably not getting much. But… maybe setting something up for later?
It could simply be a case of them getting the same player at 28 that they wanted at 25
Might as well get a profit off it
Another DB??
Wow. All the WRs still on the board? Who did Dallas think was going to take him?

Ruskell may have gone Billy Beane all over Dallas.
Make them think you want a DB.
They're quizzing Mariucci on the NFL Networks
with his ties to Holmgren. I can’t decide if he looks like he knows something or if he’s just clueless
I like it. Brohm will still be available at 28.

Ruskell was talking about
Bringing in a draftee to compete with Mare for the starting job, so it would make sense

5th and 7th and it cost us nothing, all the guys we were gonna pick are gonna fall to 28 anyways

Cheeseburgers are delicious.
Eagles traded for Lorenzo Booker?
They could’ve had *.RB in the 4th round. Seems kinda dumb.
Haha, the anxiety is still going for me
