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.

I think AZ goes with Felix Jones or Jenkins-the CB from S. Florida

Great move by the Lions

they can still get Mendenhall, and grabbed some extra picks

Did Arizona just get "one hell of a pick"?

Flacco to Baltimore, is my pick

by MFAN on Apr 26, 2008 2:00 PM PDT 0 recs

Considering they're showing him on the phone

I would probably agree…

Will Baltimore

really select Flacco over Brohm?

Yes.

looks like it

by redwolf75 on Apr 26, 2008 2:02 PM PDT 0 recs

assuming no one else trades up

which is a stretch, I know, Brohm will be there for the Hawks.

by Will Kier on Apr 26, 2008 2:03 PM PDT 0 recs

so maybe we'll trade down

fair enough

either result will be great for the Hawks

by Will Kier on Apr 26, 2008 2:05 PM PDT up 0 recs

How is Flacco any different from Kyle Boller?

At least Boller came from a real school

by Strang on Apr 26, 2008 2:03 PM PDT 0 recs

Flacco over Brohm??

I really hope we draft Brohm now

How funny would it be

if Seattle bluffed Baltimore into moving up by faking an interest in Flacco?

by cyberwulf on Apr 26, 2008 2:03 PM PDT 0 recs

Will Mendenhall fall to us?

Is it possible? Brohm would be awesome too.

by marinator on Apr 26, 2008 2:03 PM PDT 0 recs

he could go to Dallas or Pitt

I really don’t wanna draft Mendenhall

can we please stop with the fan comments?

I don’t read those comments on espn.com for a reason

Biggest Arm in Draft
Can Make All the Throws
Poor Footwork

Ryan Leaf?

by cyberwulf on Apr 26, 2008 2:05 PM PDT 0 recs

Well, Kyle Boller at the very least

"Poor footwork" is exactly what you want to hear about a QB

So is it possible Jeff Otah falls to us now?

by OlSalty on Apr 26, 2008 2:05 PM PDT 0 recs

I think he goes to Philly

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 0 recs

I doubt it.

Wideouts can be had in the later rounds, and Ruskell knows it.

by BrianL on Apr 26, 2008 2:07 PM PDT up 0 recs

I doubt it

but the 49ers will probably take one

by marinator on Apr 26, 2008 2:08 PM PDT up 0 recs

More power to 'em.

by BrianL on Apr 26, 2008 2:09 PM PDT up 0 recs

Seriously, we are going to have an abundance of possibilities....

Panthers after a DE to replace Rucker maybe?

Merling is there, Campbell is there

Or not at all that

by Strang on Apr 26, 2008 2:11 PM PDT up 0 recs

If Car picks Otah

I suspect they will move Travelle Wharton inside to guard to make up for the loss of Wahle.

That was seriously weak. Some producer needed to be yelling at Keyshawn.

Mendenhall

Will he still be there at 25? And if yes, do the Hawks then pick him?

by cyberwulf on Apr 26, 2008 2:13 PM PDT 0 recs

nope.

"Those who fear disorder more than injustice inevitably produce more of both." -- Rev. William Coffin

by dcrockett17 on Apr 26, 2008 2:14 PM PDT up 0 recs

I’d do any number of things before that. The gap between Mendenhall and the next tier of backs isn’t big enough to risk his downside.

Personally I'd hope not.

Ruskell did say he doesn't like the one-year wonders

And Mendenhall kinda fits in that box

This draft is flying by

by clamslayer on Apr 26, 2008 2:15 PM PDT 0 recs

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.

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.
