2007 NFL DRAFT LIVE THREAD

April 28, 2007

12:00PM ET

TV Network: ESPN

Where will they go? Let’s go to the commissioner:

[The Pack Knight]

Right you were.

Too bad Cleveland sacrificed its first round pick next year to do it.

Well, from Phil Savage's perspective, if he can't make something happen this season, he won't be around to use that first round pick next year anyway. Bill Cowher will probably be sitting in his chair.

[darkangel82]

I doubt Cowher will come back, and even if he does he won’t come anywhere near Cleveland.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

It’s win-win. I hope the Browns lose next year first, though.:)

[cgk]

Did the Eagles pick yet cg?

Sorry - was away temp. Not yet - we're at #25 now with NE picking Brandon Merriweather, Eagles are #26.

[BJClinton]

Yup, and we got a pretty good pick out of it.

[BJClinton]

It is possible that Dallas can be a Super Bowl contender in this upcoming season and still get the first overall pick in the 2008 draft.

Heh. So I'll be cheering for the Cowboys and whoever plays against the Browns.

[mainepatsfan]

Very good deal for Dallas.

[cgk]

Eagles on the clock now :-)

[GraniteStateConservative]

Trust me. That pick your team just got will be very good. Not Top 3 good, but very good. Probably like #8 overall. The Cowboys had no needs really at all this year because of good fortune and good offseason moves. Next year, they probably will. They can fill that need with a very good college player. Or they can bundle their two 1st rounders and get some stud RB like Darren McFadden, from Arkansas. Dallas is filled with Razorback fans (like Jones is), and McFadden could win the Heisman this year after coming in #2 in voting this year. Jones probably dreams of McFadden (a guy who can score every way you can score— return TD, passing, catching, running) in a Dallas uni every night.

"Patriots will pick Poslusny."...with pick # 27 hopefully.

Didn’t realize Spikes had gone to the Eagles. This will be his 3rd team. Sure wish he could keep a job. :)

[Terpfen]

Bill Cowher will be sitting in John Fox’s chair.

I was just looking him up... don't tell me he's a bust?

Eagles have traded their pick to Dallas...

[Eric Blair 2084]

Man law. No burping before post 35.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

Probably not McFadden. We’re pretty loaded at RB right now. J. Jones just got his first 1,000 yard season. Our backup, Marion Barber III, had double digit TDs. We may look at WR (I don’t know who is out there for next year, maybe Sweed from Texas), regardless of what we do this year. Looks like the Boys just jumped back into round 1, BTW.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Or not. They just traded that Browns pick to the Eagles!

[gov_bean_ counter]

JJ can make the deal. If you could just keep him out of the coaches chair they would be in good shape again.

[GraniteStateConservative]

McFadden is LT-lite good.

[Dog]

What the heck is going on with the Eagles?

[Eric Blair 2084]

And my ‘Boys just scored the Brown’s #1 pick next year. Things are looking up.

The Cowboys trading down is not a surprise. Did anybody here ever read the fancy report by an economics professor talking about how teams overvalue top picks.

If anybody cares, I'll share it. If nobody cares I will completely understand.
