Draft Day 2: Open Thread
Notice something about my posting times? No, I'm not the living dead or some sort of cyborg built for blogging. I just didn't get much sleep last night. My crazy neighbor decided to have a psychotic freak-out before being arrested beneath my bedroom window a few minutes ago. Ah, Rosemere, do you ever disappoint?
Here's a round-up of links of interest for this too early morning: Mike Tanier is a decent analyst if you can stomach the jokes. Here's his and Michael David Smith's, from the FO crew, take on rounds 1-3. I don't agree with everything they say, but a point argued intelligently is always worth something.
The Jackson trade still seems to be on, pending a physical.
Festivities begin again in half an hour. I may be here, I may be asleep, I may be outside telling myself to shut-up, repeatedly clearing my throat and yelling non sequitur profanities. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
[Update: Oakland drafts Michael Bush with the first pick of the fourth round. I think almost any team in the NFL would have made that move. That's a terrible offense, so don't expect any eye-popping numbers right away, but Bush is a special talent.]
Update [2007-4-29 14:2:45 by Shrug]: The Darrell Jackson trade to the 49ers is now official. Seattle gets San Francisco's 4th round pick.

I must say.
Yep.
Yeah
So the 4th round pick we get
Well if we get Boss that'd be ok because Boss would help the team more than DJack, unless we plan on using 5wr sets a lot
lol
ROMO IS GONNA GET KRUNKED!!!!!!!!!!!
the D-Jack trade is offical
I'm warming up to this deal a bit, im still not a big fan, but it's clear Ruskell didn't want Jackson on this team, so if he feels a 4th rounder is good value then I will take his word for it.
yuck
I knew that O was bad, but sweet jesus that's pathetic. The Bengals and Charges scored almost half that amount in 1 game this season.
Yes. That team was/is a trainwreck
A very good value for the 4th round
looks like another solid Ruskell pick

Tech Bio for Wrotto
And 7 questions with wrotto
After reading the 7 questions/answers
next pick is 161
Chandler the TE from Iowa just went
Solid
Wrotto is a hoggggg. HUGE, nasty, strong, a good RG prospect...
I'd rather get
Love the Atkins pick obviously, guess JM hit the nail on the head with that one.
No we have to get a TE, Boss or Allan please
I guess we are probably targeting Newton or Allan
Oh ya forgot about him

Holy shit Moss is a Patriot?
Oh and I am sad to see D Jack go
I don't know why but
I think its the hair
Probably the plastic surgery
Aren't you in College? Maybe its because now you're old enough to like girls, and 10 years ago you were 10.
Sure I'm only 21

I was thinking the same thing
If we get a backup RB
Now that I think about I think Patrick
Though this isn't postiive
From ESPN
Why don't the talking heads shut up
I know, I hate that, they're so stupid
2 TE's I'd love to have, and we really
We have 6 servicable LBS don't we?
PEterson, Tatupu, Hill, Bentley, Lewis, Niko Suave
DD lewis is gone

Auburn Bio for Herring
What the fuck is that?
I trust Ruskell and all
And get a TE in the 5th when two are still available.
I wonder if he is going to be converted to S
He was a QB in high school. 2nd team all SEC as a Safety.
Meh.
Don't know
I smell Special Teams player.
I really doubt he will play saftey
I'm guessing he might be here to fill that 3rd down passing situation LB that Hill kept getting burnt on
by Scruffy Lefty on Apr 29, 2007 11:14 AM PDT up reply actions
Yeah.
Lots of special teams play.
I think there was better talent available for this pick.

I suppose
maybe they know something we don't

About the TEs or Herring
Kind of like a fantasy draft, where 2 years ago, I was in a league where everyone forgot about Beltran, and I got him in the 4th round. Sure he should've gone in the 2nd or 1st, but I waited until the spot that he was probably going to be taken, just a bit before.
Ya he was projected that
Look at Patrick he was supposed to be a 3rd round pick

I just scout.com mock for the Hawks
Now it's our pick.
by Coach Owens on Apr 29, 2007 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions
SOLID PICK
I think he has starting upside, especially in a WCO.
I think he could be pretty good
Ok, I'm back.
At this point, I think Seattle will be looking guard next year, too.
Courtney Taylor is a west coast specialist. Not much upside, basically practice squad depth.
Will Herring is an intriguing athlete. I'm not sure exactly where he fits in on the roster, but he might be, as everyone seems to suspect, being drafted to work in passing situations. You know the MO: undersized, quick, good character guy.
Some kind of

I think it's because he's a tweener, with a less..
Yeah, sounds bad to me
Allan is the real-deal.
Well
So I'll be back when we make our next pick.
Monday, I'll run down Seattle's draft. Ruskell has once again found value late in the draft, but our offensive line really worries me. Ruskell can't really think that Gray is the solution at right guard.
Tuesday, I'll recap our division rivals. The Niners look like the big winners. I wasn't convinced they'd be contenders next year entering the off-season, but, boy, they've sure improved.
I'm getting the feeling
Not really I think we just
Really we could turn Jordan Kent into a pass catching TE if we wanted
by Scruffy Lefty on Apr 29, 2007 2:14 PM PDT up reply actions
Personally I think we should get Brockman
by Scruffy Lefty on Apr 29, 2007 2:14 PM PDT up reply actions
AGREED!
He's a beast, Great character, lifts a lot, can dunk, is decently athletic, he'd be AWESOME. He's tough as nails, very physical, and is a relentless rebounder, which I think will translate well on the football field.
Geeze, not another undersized, character guy.
At least this one was voted 1st team all american
by Scruffy Lefty on Apr 29, 2007 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Hmm...6'3", 32 reps, pretty quick/agile...
Also, maybe we just don't need a tight end as much in Holmgren's new system.
I mean, a guy can evolve right? And you know More will be helping with the offensive coordinating, too.
Ok, I'm scraping my fingers off the keyboards with a spatula--see you again, Monday.
