NFL Draft

[Gaazy]

come back to be surprised that someone hasnt started a thread here about it yet...usually there is..

So, thoughts? I didnt get to watch hardly any of it that weekend because I was in New Mexico for work


All I know is that one of my best buddies signed a 3 year with the Steelers, Doug Legursky. Score!

[Tikker]

Weaknesses:
Is shorter than you would prefer....Does not have long arms....Is not stout at the point of attack...Does not handle himself well in space...Plays too tall...Lacks great balance and agility...Just average mobility...Uses poor leverage...Upside is limited.



steelers oline is in need of a major reconstruction, so he may have a chance to stick around if he's a hard worker

[Gaazy]

his arms are waaay to short, that was the only reason he didnt go very well. I dont agree with the rest of it, except for his mobility to an extent, because he has bad ankles. Those are his two downpoints really, and he knows that. His ankles are shot to shit pretty much, so I really dont think he'll play too long of a career to be honest, if he even makes the team heh. Hes really the most driven person Ive ever met though, and I think thats his plus side. Im just happy hes gettin a shot, its pretty cool. Hes got some hard work ahead of him though

edit: ah, and the coolest thing about it i think was being in the room with him when he got the call. I got off the plane, went to his place, 5 minutes later, they called him. Nice timing

Chiefs did great. Their first 3 picks were exactly who I was hoping they'd get (besides Jake Long of course - but that wasn't an option)

Jamaal Charles IMO was a steal as low as we got him, but the RB depth was huge.

If they can have another good offseason next year and get a decent QB sometime soon, they should be pretty competitive for 2010-2015.

Of course now is my most hated part of the sports year where you only have baseball and waiting for the draft picks to sign/holdout for stupid amounts of money.

I don't see how any team can fuck up with 3 first rounders. So saying KC did great is not neccessarily a testament to their FO.

[Reynaldo]

Considering the moves they made to get the additional first rounder (and sucking last season), I think they made great moves in picking arguably the best defensive player in the draft at 5, then ninja'ing up 2 slots to get Albert at 15. In the Vermiel days we would have traded out of those picks for a 35 year old cornerback and 55 year old QB.

Herm can't coach for shit, but at least he's building a good, young team for whoever takes over when he gets canned.

[Tikker]

haha


I really don't like Herm as a head coach at all

[Griever]

I totally agree with trading Jarred Allen for the picks they got. But if Branden Albert or Brandon Flowers bust they will always look back to trade and say you guys were stupid for giving up a young stud DE.

Bears did meh. Still no QB prospect ><
