2008 NFL Draft Thread-Jake Long Goes #1 - Page 6

Ryche · 04-26-2008, 03:21 PM

Denver goes offensive lineman, guessing Chris Williams. But they could trade down a little with so many linemen still there.

Noop · 04-26-2008, 03:22 PM

The draft is way faster this year I wish it would have started at 12 though...

Lathum · 04-26-2008, 03:23 PM

Great pickup for Denver

Noop · 04-26-2008, 03:24 PM

Atleast he stays a Bronco. Not sure if he is an elite left tackle.

OL -Tackle

st.cronin · 04-26-2008, 03:24 PM

Clady's a great pick for Denver.

Ryche · 04-26-2008, 03:24 PM

Clady works too. Slightly surprised as I had heard the Broncos preferred Williams.

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:25 PM

i dunno about Clady

st.cronin · 04-26-2008, 03:27 PM

If Clady had played in the Pac 10, he might have been #1 overall. The only real knock on him was "not really challenged in college."

DeToxRox · 04-26-2008, 03:27 PM

Interesting if Detroit is going try desperatley to deal down. If we take Williams or Otah, it's a waste of a pick.

Noop · 04-26-2008, 03:27 PM

Baltimore is not going to draft either them. They are going to draft Brohm all of this is smoke screen. I hope Miami is able to get Brohm though...

Noop · 04-26-2008, 03:28 PM

Stewart? Bad pick.

DeToxRox · 04-26-2008, 03:28 PM

I love this pick for Carolina. Stews a beast. Too bad this means Detroit gets an awful OL now.

st.cronin · 04-26-2008, 03:28 PM

Hm, a bit surprised the Panthers went RB.

Eaglesfan27 · 04-26-2008, 03:28 PM

Interesting pick by Carolina. Stewart should be a beast as long as he can stay healthy.

14ers · 04-26-2008, 03:29 PM

If anyone is watching ESPN. They were talking about the top QBs left being Flacco or Henne. Did something happen to Brohm?

Arles · 04-26-2008, 03:29 PM

The Cards may want to move up if they want a RB. Det will prob take Mendenhall.

st.cronin · 04-26-2008, 03:30 PM

If the Bears don't take Albert... well, they're idiots.

tucker rocky · 04-26-2008, 03:30 PM

'Da Bears are now on the clock.

Thomkal · 04-26-2008, 03:30 PM

hmm guess the Panthers aren't too high on DeAngelo Williams

ni, Kiper just doesn't like Brohm

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:30 PM

as a Bears fan i love me some Mendenhall

but since i know they will take OL i'll settle for Albert, maybe Otah, please not williams

Arles · 04-26-2008, 03:30 PM

Actually, the Cards will probably go corner.

Louisville's defense didn't play very well last year, so he's been downgraded.

Thomkal · 04-26-2008, 03:32 PM

Looks that way Arles

DeToxRox · 04-26-2008, 03:32 PM

If Albert falls to Detroit, I am happy. Just avoid Williams or Otah like the plague.

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:33 PM

maybe Bears will trade with Philly

I've heard Flacco as being the number 2 QB for weeks if not months since the Senior Bowl week. Henne has risen on most boards over the last few weeks. Although some experts put Brohm over Henne.

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:37 PM

terrible

Noop · 04-26-2008, 03:37 PM

I hope people continue to doubt Brohm because I am hoping he is a Dolphin.

·Drop quickness and balance
·Set up quickness and positioning
·Release quickness
·Accuracy: short, medium and long-direction, positioning, velocity and catchability of the ball.
·Judgement and decision making
·Field Vision: quick,decisive and accurate reads. Going through progressive read options corectly.
·Poise: leadership skills, handling pressure and moving the team.
·Ball handling: selling the play action fake, smooth effort with eyes positioned downfield.
·Timing: throwing on rhythm and to pre-determined spots on time.
·Delivery: quickness and positioning of release.
·Follow through: does he finish across his body?
·Avoiding the rush: making defenders miss in the pocket.
·Escape: moving the pocket effectively to avoid pressure.
·Scrambling: ability to run and pick up positive yardage.
·Rollout passing to the right and left: can he throw accurately and with velocity without having to set his feet. Does he have arm and hip flexability to throw the ball across his body if he is a left handed quarterback?
·Arm strength: ability to throw all routes and the ability to throw with just his arm without having to muscle the ball with his body.
·Zip: velocity and tightness of the spiral.
·Touch, timing and positioning: on screen passes and swing passes
·Effectiveness on: short out routes, deep out routes, go routes, post routes and corner routes

He those these things very well.

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:37 PM

just terrible

Sublime 2 · 04-26-2008, 03:37 PM

Not a fan of the Williams pick.

DeToxRox · 04-26-2008, 03:37 PM

Welcome to Detroit Mendenhall

Arles · 04-26-2008, 03:37 PM

Not sure I would take Williams here, but the Bears are welcome to him

Greyroofoo · 04-26-2008, 03:39 PM

Are 'Detroit taking WRs' jokes tired by now?

Eaglesfan27 · 04-26-2008, 03:39 PM

Things are setting up for the Eagles to get Otah, which would make me fairly happy.

Arles · 04-26-2008, 03:39 PM

I heard Detroit is going WR here

(for Greyroofoo)

No, the Panthers are high on the thunder-and-lightning approach at running back. They want a bruiser to go with the finesse guy.

Coffee Warlord · 04-26-2008, 03:40 PM

Second coming of Marc Colombo here we go.

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:41 PM

that was just a terrible pick by the bears, williams was completely taken off a few draft boards b/c of a bad cervix, plus he's soft

tucker rocky · 04-26-2008, 03:41 PM

It's the popular pick for Detroit.
Millen loves those WR's.

Sublime 2 · 04-26-2008, 03:42 PM

KC has to be ecstatic that Albert is still avail right?

Coffee Warlord · 04-26-2008, 03:42 PM

If Detroit takes Rashard here and he lights up the Bears, I'm going to be very very pissed off.

Arles · 04-26-2008, 03:43 PM

Wow, KC on the clock - probably after OL Albert.

Ryche · 04-26-2008, 03:43 PM

Makes sense, KC gets Albert and Detroit gets Otah or Mendenhall.

Arles · 04-26-2008, 03:43 PM

So, do the Cards take Mendenhall or do they pass on another RB (a la Peterson last year)?

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:44 PM

i'm 99% sure the bears had offers from philly and kcc for the pick and they took a bum. mendenhall will go the lions, and he and AP will take turns running threw our defense

st.cronin · 04-26-2008, 03:45 PM

I don't understand why Detroit wouldn't want Albert?

DeToxRox · 04-26-2008, 03:45 PM

Detroit is going to get Otah now .. I swear to God. If Mendenahll goes 16, we're stuck with that waste of space.

Dunleavy · 04-26-2008, 03:47 PM

the lions get a 3rd and a 5th for 2 slots, not bad at all
