HOLY CRAP... that is a horrible trade by the Texans!

perry on the other hand, is a known workhorse who can also catch the ball very well and blocks well on top of it all.

This might work out well, we'll have to see.

JAG · 04-24-2004, 04:02 PM

Great trade for the Titans, they could use some more cheap young labor on their team.

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 04:03 PM

houston's web site must be getting hammered, i can't get in, wanted to see what picks they had left, do they have extra picks in rounds 3 and 4 that they could afford to give up the ones they did?

are they moving the team to China?

JAG · 04-24-2004, 04:05 PM

LOL, Scouts, Inc. analysis (excerpt) of the Buffalo Dallas trade:

The Bills, in our opinion, panicked and gave too much away for a player that won't see the field for at least one year. That's the second time in two years that G.M. Tom Donahoe has drafted a player in the first round (Willis McGahee, 2003) that won't see the field as a rookie. Furthermore, there are a lot of questions about J.P. Losman's leadership and character. We just think that they would have been better served keeping those picks and addressing other needs. They could have drafted a quarterback like Virginia's Matt Schaub in the second round and kept the rest of the picks that they gave to Dallas.

Ouch.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:07 PM

Gamble: bad pick. All I can say.

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 04:08 PM

Do the Colts go defense here? Trade out?

JAG · 04-24-2004, 04:08 PM

Strange for a team which made the Super Bowl last year to take a player like Gamble who needs experience before he can make a contribution.

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 04:08 PM

Houston can go play golf with Mike Ditka. barring trades, they are done until late in Round 4.

4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7.

Woods has to go to Atlanta now.

JAG · 04-24-2004, 04:15 PM

Incredible number of trades in the first round.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:16 PM

Wow, didn't think Jenkins would go before Woods. I stand corrected.

VPI97 · 04-24-2004, 04:17 PM

Horrible pick #2 for the Falcons. I may as well burn my season tickets.

rexallllsc · 04-24-2004, 04:19 PM

How do you take Clayton, Evans, and Jenkins over Woods? Geez.

at work, "watching" this all on the web. I've got a bunch of draft pages up, so that I don't have to go back to the main page and accidentally see any hockey.

Mike Vick is Atlanta's offense right?

BishopMVP · 04-24-2004, 04:21 PM

Did Detroit just trade up for Jones?

Celeval · 04-24-2004, 04:22 PM

Here comes Kevin Jones to Detroit.

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 04:23 PM

Atlanta should've gone defense.

Corey Webster and Travis Daniels from LSU will both be 1-2 round picks. Both are have good size and can run 4.5s or lower. Not to mention both are taught by Saban, who is probably the best DB coach in college football. Webster may even go before Rolle, he has better measurables than Rolle and had a better season last year. Daniels will probably be a late 1st early second round pick.

henry296 · 04-24-2004, 04:23 PM

I like that. Jones should be real good

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:25 PM

Kevin Jones, excellent.

JAG · 04-24-2004, 04:25 PM

Kevin Jones and Roy Williams added to Detroit's offense...they've got to be quite pleased with how this draft has gone.

rexallllsc · 04-24-2004, 04:26 PM

Jones is nasty. Much better than Perry, IMO.

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 04:27 PM

Celeval · 04-24-2004, 04:27 PM

Detroit is having a heck of a draft.

korme · 04-24-2004, 04:27 PM

ESPN.com had Kevin Jones on the front page at #30 before Tags even announced it!

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 04:27 PM

He announced it during the commercial break, Berman said "Here's Detroit's pick from a minute ago"

Celeval · 04-24-2004, 04:28 PM

The Madden kiddies will be playing a lot with Detroit next season - two big WRs with speed, and a fast back.

RendeR · 04-24-2004, 04:28 PM

Wow, Detroit suddenly looks like a playoff contender in '04

Tigercat · 04-24-2004, 04:28 PM

Two thoughts: Atlanta will regret picking Jenkins before Woods. Clayton and Evans before Woods can be justified, but Atlanta already has a Jenkins in Finneran.

Detroit looks like they will now have two great drafts in a row, will it show on the field THIS year?

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:29 PM

as a Lion fan I am ecstatic.

no coffee, only sipping my second coke now (i have pretty much stopped drink coke but making an exception today)

being a trucker i don't sleep much (i know this makes you all feel safe). i get about 5 or six hours a day. When i get home on weekends i can get home anywhere from friday night to saturday night. I drive nights, so when i get home in the morning like today i usually stay up all day to spend time with the wife and kid.....so i am kinda used to little sleep.

Watson over Troupe? Interesting.

I guess they want a bigger guy who can block maybe.
