NFL Draft Day Two - Live Thread

[mainepatsfan]

It's time to find some diamonds in the rough.

[THX 1138]

Oops, there goes Simpson at 105. To Bills. Great value for them.

[Dysart]

Apparently, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He got a 10 on the Wunderlic-- hard to call secondary plays if you can't tie your own shoes.

[mainepatsfan]

I still think them taking Whitner at #8 was a reach.

[THX 1138]

I've spent the last two months hanging out at FootballsFuture.com. Great site...

[THX 1138]

Call it the Polomalu effect. Safety is the new glamor position in the secondary. 3 of the first 4 secondary picks were safeties. Usually it's the other way around...

Yeah, Whitner at #8 was 7-10 spots higher than I figured, but he's a terrific player...

[scott says]

Whats up with ESPN? Who did the Pats get with the last call....

[THX 1138]

Whats up with ESPN?

Yeah, very annoying. They're still telling us about Reggie Bush. Alright, already...

[infidel29]

I think Reggie McNeal(Tex A&M) would have been a better pick if the intention was to use him solely as a WR. Smith should get a shot at QB I think, but #5 on the depth chart.

McNeal runs a sub 4.4(4.36) I think, and played WR in the past. He didn't go to the Senior Bowl because he wasn't going to be listed at QB, just WR and he wanted a last chance to show his passer skills in competition.

Smith could pan out, but I think whoever gets McNeal will get a gem.

Yesterday, I said.....

To: carlr

I thought they would attempt to get Bush, but their draft has been decent.Demetrius Williams is still on the board for someone.

My Team (The Ravens) took him, I guess that answers my question! lol

[scott says]

Cool, thanks for the link. ESPN is all over the place, I tuned in and waited for them to give me the pick....
just yapping away about stuff we already know.
I'll keep that window open and follow the selections there.

[THX 1138]

10 107 Arizona Watson, Gabriel DT 6-3 340 Michigan
12 109 Philadelphia (from St. Louis through Green Bay) Avant, Jason WR 6-0 213 Michigan
14 111 Baltimore Williams, Demetrius WR 6-2 198 Oregon

This is what the lower rounds are all about. These three guys can be good players...

[THX 1138]

By the way..., Rangers swept in 4.

Hardy-har-har...

[darkangel82]

latest few:

114 Miami Toledo, Joe OT 6-5 337 Washington
18 115 Green Bay (from Minnesota through Philadelphia) Blackmon, Will WR 6-0 199 Boston College
19 116 Tennessee (from Dallas through Philadelphia) Tulloch, Stephen ILB 5-11 242 Cornell
20 117 N.Y. Jets (from Kansas City) Washington, Leon RB 5-8 202 Florida State

[Dysart]

I like McNeal too. I think he has a chance to develop into a QB eventually if somebody will extend the opportunity. Otherwise, he can be a versatile position player..ie return guy/WR/DB. I'd like to see the Cowboys take him here in the 4th.

[Allegra]

The Texans need to draft a punter. Maybe two.

The Texans need to draft a new team.

[scott says]

The Devils have been on a tear, something like 15 wins in a row. I like them to go all the way.
My team came out strong but has lost the last 2 . The Canadiens are an ok team , if they somehow win the first round I will be surprised.

[Allegra]

They're still telling us about Reggie Bush.

Reggie Bush? Who's he?

Really Annoyed Texans Fan

[kittymyrib]

The Texans need to fire Casserly before next year's draft, when they will no doubt get the first pick again.

[infidel29]

I'd love to see the Steelers get him to replace Randle-El. I'd also like to see them take a shot on Jeremy Bloom later, but they're already too top heavy at WR.
