Wow - How about the Manning boos? (and draft commentary) - Page 9

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 04:38 PM

Watson over Troupe? Hmmm...

hukarez · 04-24-2004, 04:38 PM

Whee!

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 04:39 PM

so only 6 hurricanes picked in the first round? slackers

Celeval · 04-24-2004, 04:39 PM

Reeves woulda sent #2, #3, and #4 for a Tight End. Other than Troupe or Watson.

Yeah, but at least we were used to that. So far, my opinion of the new regime is in the toilet.

Nobody picked from Florida or Florida State yet.

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 04:44 PM

now for the second round, where ESPN no longer bothers to pay attention to current selections............

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 04:47 PM

....the later rounds....where star players are usually found.

The hype of the 1st rounders is over.

BigJohn&TheLions · 04-24-2004, 04:51 PM

I like Detroit getting Williams and Jones. I was out gettin chicken, what'd they give up to move up?

Now if only Detroit had a QB... with Joey, it don'
t matter if you have 5 hall of famers...INTERCEPTION!

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:51 PM

Ben Troupe to the Lions?! Chiefs ahead of us, no need for a TE. Let's hope.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:55 PM

Lehman... I think this is a solid pick, especially with a glaring hole at LB.

JAG · 04-24-2004, 04:56 PM

Another good Detroit pick...I wonder who's advising Millen, since clearly he isn't doing this draft himself.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:57 PM

LoL. Millen has drafted well in his time with the Lions actually.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 04:59 PM

The Lions draft is definetly top 3 thus far imho.

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 05:03 PM

Boulware should go to the Jags at 39.

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 05:06 PM

Oregon just lost 2 DT's back to back, gotta hurt thier defense......

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 05:07 PM

Boulware is rated better than Smith at LB. Wonder why Jags passed on Boulware?

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 05:09 PM

i would assume because they had Smith rated higher on thier board....all these teams are different, what makes some of these things suprises

JeeberD · 04-24-2004, 05:11 PM

Ugh, just got back from work, where I had to "watch" the draft on the browser on my cell phone.

Let me tell you, I was so excited when I though the Cowboys had their pick of the running backs, only to have my hopes dashed when they traded the pick away. Then a co-worker suggested that maybe the Cowboys got Travis Henry or McGahee for the pick and I got excited again! And then another worker came in that had the details of the trade, and I was totally pissed off, until he mentioned the first rounder next year. That makes the trade worthwhile, IMHO.

Hopefully the Cowboys can grab Greg Jones with the #11 pick in the second. Cause we really do need a RB. I can't take another year with Hambrick in the backfield...

Oh, and Detroit is having a STELLAR draft so far. Props to the Lions...

Interesting...local paper has Boulware 4th, and Smith 10th.

JAG · 04-24-2004, 05:13 PM

Jeeber, what you said. I wonder if the Titans would consider him though and they have two picks ahead of Dallas. Dallas could take an OT or G at their pick too.

JeeberD · 04-24-2004, 05:15 PM

Very true. Eddie George isn't going to be around much longer. But don't the Titans have Chris Brown to take over for him?

Jerry Jones is a cheap bastard....doesn't want to pay the money to a possible star RB. Parcells could've worked wonders with a RB like Stephen Jackson.

JAG · 04-24-2004, 05:17 PM

Jeeber, back on page 6 or so, it was mentioned that they were talking about the Titans considering taking a running back, although the one mentioned was Chris Perry.

They actually traded 3rd's. Atlanta still has a Indy's third pick (number 90 overall). Still, not a great pick-up. I like that they were looking reciever, but not Jenkins. I would have loved to see Woods.

I am again sorry to say this but man I am glad Boulware is gone from Florida State. If not for his last name he would have not been the starting he is good but he is way to undersized to be a LB he should be a SS. Boulware is a Seminole true but I can't tell you how many times I watched him as well as the other starting linebackers just getting eaten by other teams blockers.

Really? Very curious...

tucker rocky · 04-24-2004, 05:19 PM

I see Titans selected Troupe. They have 2 Florida TE's now, Kinney and Troupe.

JeeberD · 04-24-2004, 05:19 PM

Broncoes just took Tatum Bell. One less RB for the Cowboys to consider...

JAG · 04-24-2004, 05:20 PM

Actually, I bet the Titans will take Dockerty. They lost two DL starters to free agency this year. That should give the Cowboys a good range of choices with their pick.

Noop · 04-24-2004, 05:20 PM

A you guys can get Greg Jones who when healthy he is unreal. Don't worry Big Greg is going to make some highligth reels

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 05:21 PM

Bell is fast. He and Griffin are a solid 1-2 for what Denver is used to doing.

Correction Dockett...

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 05:21 PM

Greg Jones is what Dallas needs. A bruiser back.

fantastic flying froggies · 04-24-2004, 05:23 PM

Greg or Julius

Ditto.

Celeval · 04-24-2004, 05:24 PM

Boulware is an OLB, possibly SS type. Daryl Smith can play on the inside.

JeeberD · 04-24-2004, 05:27 PM

Cowboys on the clock. I hope they hurry up and get the RB out of the way. I don't want to be sweating that position all day...

Cringer · 04-24-2004, 05:29 PM

can I reserve a DE for the Packers now?

who is left at DE? come second round i don't know too many names.....

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 05:29 PM

take Greg Jones. You got your picks, you need someone. Jones can do it.

JAG · 04-24-2004, 05:29 PM

I'm comfortable with whoever they take. Maybe they can get better value here and take the running back with their other round 2 pick. You can get a decent running back in later rounds.

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 05:29 PM

Cringer: Antwan Odom if he's still there from Alabama is someone to keep an eye on.

JeeberD · 04-24-2004, 05:30 PM

Ooooh...Julius Jones.

A buddy of mine at work was all over that one...

DeToxRox · 04-24-2004, 05:30 PM

Julius Jones .. I like the pick. Best all around back left.

JeeberD · 04-24-2004, 05:31 PM

Dola-

Dammit! Now I have to root for a Notre Dame guy. Bleh...

Noop · 04-24-2004, 05:31 PM

Dumb pick... Dallas Greg Jones is a steal now for someone...

BishopMVP · 04-24-2004, 05:32 PM

Noop can't be happy about which Jones was taken.

Edit - Not fast enough.
