2007 NFL DRAFT LIVE THREAD
April 28, 2007

TV Network: ESPN
Where will they go? Lets go to the commissioner:
Bad...I bet WIP is going nuts
I’ve had it on all afternoon. Rob Charry is mad because we traded with Dallas. Hugh Douglas is trying to stay calm. The callers are nuts already. Eskin is on the phone calling in now and not happy they helped Dallas. Said they traded down because Merriweather was gone.
Alan Branch now the story - dropping dropping
They have 1 5th, 4 6ths and 1 7th.
Lots of chafe at those spots. They don’t need any more of those stiffs, they need impact players.
I guess they think that 1 3rd and 2 4ths will bring them some players. Perhaps a LB or some additional O-lineman or maybe a sleeper DB.
Next year is expected to be a better draft and they can have a 15, the last pick in the 1st round (SB winners pick there) plus a second which means 3 of the top 64.
The “takes plays off” rap can really hurt you.
Breakdown by conference for the first round:
SEC: 11
ACC:6
Big 10: 6
Big 12: 4
Big East: 2
Pac 10: 1
MAC: 1
Ind: 1
MIami had 3 go, LSU with 4, Texas ,OSU and Florida with 2.
Trading up ten spots in the 1st round is usually expensive. In this case the Pats swapped a 28 for likely a top 12-15.
In Bill & Scott we trust....
although they should have demanded a 3rd instead of the 4th,.
Or send you to Arizona
WTF was the Eagles logic by picking a QB??!
You kidding me?
WTF was the Eagles logic by picking a QB??!
Heck if I know!!!!! Local sports radio is going WTF???!!!
I don’t get it at all.
This is nuts...QB was not a need.
Well McNabb is injury prone, but yeah it is a curious pick and the reaction of the fans is priceless.
I though for sure they were either going for Houston or one of the USC wide outs.
This might surpass Miami’s as the worst of the day.
We’re all in shock. Maybe the want to groom him to replace Donovan, or maybe Donovans rehab isn’t going well. NO clue here!

Not quite as bad as their reaction to when they picked McNabb.

2---Feely
3-- Kelly Holocomb
4--- A QB draft pick.
This is crazy
