Wow - How about the Manning boos? (and draft commentary)

[DeToxRox]

I think the Lions could've drafted Williams as a ploy to get Jacksonville to cough up even more.

[Bearcat729]

FUCKING DAVIS

I hope this guy gets fired.

Because they are dumb. I guess they were worried that Det would trade with someone else and lose Winslow.

[DeToxRox]

Millen is ... smart?

Does this make sense?!

Though his draft history has been stellar.

[ISiddiqui]

A bunch of morons...

Ok, here is hoping the Falcons use their pick on DeAngelo Hall and NOT on Harris.

People buy cars in Fargo? Also I know this is off topic and i promise to stop the questions but what kind of town is Fargo or North Dakota for that matter? Are the folks open minded to having a person of color visit and maybe live there?

Getting a second round pick from a team to move up a spot, drafting a potentially stellar receiver to team with another one, with a good quarterback with potential to be a Pro Bowler? Not bad to me.

[Chubby]

Hall? Hahahaha.

[Noop]

Great pick by the Falcons....

[DeToxRox]

Wait for this pick..

.. I STILL think the Lions might be trading Roy to Jacksonville.

You're missing the biggest differences:

1) The draft commentary, which is apparently the gospel truth
2) San Diego is west of the Rockies, which means they suck

Get a clue.

San Diego had a bad year, and Manning is perfectly entitled to not want to play there. However, I don't think they are as bad as people are making out on this board.

They also just got a sweet deal by getting the player they really wanted, and a few good draft picks as well.

As long as you play Football. Fargo is a pretty decent size city that has an alright nightlife. They really follow the NDSU Bison, especially football with the former Nebraska D Cordinator taking over the program and his first victory being over highly rated DIAA Montana. They could really use a DB or two too.

Although Fargo does have a large Mexican population, a large ethnic African(2 of the colleges do exchange programs), and a huge middle eastern population(Lutheran Social Services), so it is pretty diverse in that way, but as for Black Americans, they are few and far between and a decent percentage are former athletes at the local universities.

The old people here generally are scared of the mixture, but with the large amounts of schools in the area, race issues hardly ever come up. The exception is the fighting between the ethnic Africans and Middle Easterners. They like to have huge brawls in the parks and occasionally shot at each other. The migrant mexican works can be difficult at times, but the residents are fine. You do also have the hick whites who hate the diversity and cause troubles. Overall it is good though... Come play for the Bison. And my Flag Football team who went 4-7 and are the 7 seed in the playoffs. Shock the world baby!

[Honolulu_Blue]

Unless Kevin Jones slips to the second round, I can't see the Lions taking a RB with one of their 2 picks. They may go with Perry (I hope they don't). I could see them drafting a linebacker with one of the picks and hopefully take a player who slides out of the first at a position of need: TE or G.

Hmm.. no Madden commercials this year!?

...to draft a player that probably was going to be still available? yes.

[Schmidty]

I think they could package the 2 second rounders (#4 & #5) and a 4th rounder, and then trade up into the teens to draft Jackson. It could happen.

Yeah, Marvin was only a 1st round pick. It's not like the expected anything of him. The Colts also had a defense (not stellar but not totally crappy) while the Bolts don't.



Reggie Williams?

Come on Houston, TRADE WITH THE BILLS!

[Noop]

The Afoci

Thanks.

Reggie Williams was a top wr in highschool but wow he was a bit of a reach.

not yet, i'm sure we'll see one towards more of the middle or late 1st round.

[ISiddiqui]

Texans have a nice spot now. Pittsburgh will definetly get Roethlesberger if he is still there. Houston is before them, but will not pick a QB, but definetly will be willing to trade that pick.

No problem. Now just go play ball for the Bison.

[ISiddiqui]

Never mind about Houston .

[Chubby]

damnit, Buffalo is going to get another crappy DL

[Chubby]

I think we know who Pitt is taking lol

[JAG]

That was pretty cool.

[MikeVic]

That was funny. And I'm glad we're getting Ben.

[korme]

Mort just used 'upside' for the first time and it's at pick 11! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

[ISiddiqui]

Now the Jets have to pick someone crappy in order for all to be right with the world.

[oykib]

J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets! Jets!

[DeToxRox]

I like Vilma quite a bit.

[oykib]

ISiddiqui, must you oppose me in all things?!

Draft day is the only day Jets fans can feel good about the team.

[ISiddiqui]

Hey, I'm a former Jets fan... I've known a lot of disappointment on draft day .

I still have a soft spot for the Jets, but since moving I've adopted the Falcons and an tickled pink with their pick so far .

[Bearcat729]

Ugh, I'm still pissed when I think of what could have been with that 2nd round pick.


Damn Butch Davis is a moron.

[Thomkal]

On a different note here, can someone go please physically remove Michael Irvin from the ESPN draft podium. Man he's awful.

[ISiddiqui]

Bills take a Lee Evens... the year of the Wideout is playing out as advertised.

[RendeR]

I agree, and while they're at it they can get him off of the sunday morning show too, I cannot stand listening to his have-mumbled pompous commentary.


ENUNCIATE MAN you're on NATIONAL TELEVISION!!

[The Afoci]

This is great for the Vikings. There is bound to be a good DL when the pick.

[ISiddiqui]

Yes, but what is to prevent the team(s) behind them from getting that DL causing the Vikings to lose him .

[Chubby]

Here's a thought...

Now that the Chargers have 2 1st Rounders next year, there's a supplemental draft, they take Mike Williams with a 1st rounder (they get first crack at him) and would still have a 1st (the Giants pick) rounder...

They get Rivers + Mike Williams in that trade.

[ISiddiqui]

Is the order of the supplemental draft the same as the order of the regular draft?

[ISiddiqui]

HAHA.. The Bears took Harris.

[JAG]

Oh my God, the Bears used their pick to select Ray Charles!

[Chubby]

Sort of, I guess everyone submits blind bids but ties are broken based on the original 04 draft order. So Chargers and Raiders both say they'd use a 1st round pick on Williams, the Chargers get him cause they had the #1 overall in 04 draft.

[JAG]

By the way, Mike Williams dropped his suit, so there won't be a supplemental draft for him, unless the NFL starts feeling uncommonly generous.

[ISiddiqui]

I guess they are hoping for a ruling against the NFL then .

[ISiddiqui]

I don't think who filed matters. A supplemental draft would be open to all players who were 'unfairly' barred if the courts rule that way.

Doesn't matter that Williams dropped his suit, Clarett still has his suit and is awaiting a final decision from the US Court of Appeals. The stay was only so they wouldn't be in the regular draft (the NFL wants to maintain their rule), it doesn't mean there still may not be a supplemental draft.
