NFL DRAFT 2005 - LIVE THREAD

NFL and ESPN | 4-23-05

[Dan from Michigan]

I'm starting a live thread. Draft is on now. San Francisco is on the clock.

[commish]

INteresting pick in Madkin. Definately a very good lineman. Apparently NE feels that there will still be an Odell Thurman, Channing Crowder or someone left at the end of Round 2.

[Dan from Michigan]

I never heard of him, but it sounds like he's an old fashion tough guy.

[commish]

Definately would take Vick.

He can kill almost all teams. Pressure him and he runs, Allow him to roam around and he makes plays. The only teams that he has trouble with are the Eagle type teams -- ones that can pressure without allowing running lanes, and can cover down field at the same time.

[pitinkie]

I hope so!

[MikefromOhio]

yeah...me too...

so whatever this guy is screaming about stats, its all about the Ws.....

Marino had stats, Montana had championships. Harrington has marginally better stats, Vick has playoff appearances....I see a correlation...

[mainepatsfan]

Exactly the type of player Belichick wants.

[Dan from Michigan]

2nd Round

San Francisco picks Haas - Lineman.

[commish]

Interestng first round. Some definate surprises.

Round 2 should be fun, a lot of really good talent still out there.

[mainepatsfan]

Ah the 2nd round. It seems just as many good players come out this round as the first.

[Dan from Michigan]

Baas.

[commish]

ESPN radio reporting that Buffalo is holdinga trade "auction" with Philly and Arizona for Travis Henry. Trying to play both against each other to sweeten the deal.

[MikefromOhio]

its a case of the 1st round and the 2nd round should be combined into a 64 pick 1 1/2 round :)

[mainepatsfan]

What I really can't stand is the post draft grades that journalists hand out. You can't judge a draft until these guys actually start playing in the NFL!

[mainepatsfan]

Just heard it.

[mainepatsfan]

It would make sense.

[Dan from Michigan]

Cleveland picks Rodney Poole.

[IndyTiger]

Browns on the clock. Hope they go OL or defense.

[NeoCaveman]

Browns pick Brodney Pool, Safety from Oklahoma.

[Dan from Michigan]

Reggie Brown WR goes to Philly. Buh Bye Freddie Bigmouth Mitchell???
