It is not in HD! Dissapointing.

Solecismic · 04-23-2005, 11:03 AM

There's only so much I can do with a chat, Homer.

cthomer5000 · 04-23-2005, 11:03 AM

where is this chat? i'd seen nothing on it.

The guy in the ESPN chat says that Travis Henry is going to Philly for a 3rd round pick.

I'd like that trade for Philly if it happens.

would he be starting ahead of Westbrook then?

I don't think so. I think Reid would rotate them both. Of course, that could create chemistry problems considering Henry's problems in Buffalo, but I think Reid could make it work.

Draft Dodger · 04-23-2005, 11:30 AM

that's a good deal for both teams, really

Bearcat729 · 04-23-2005, 11:31 AM

Hmm Randy Mueller in the ESPN chat says that it looks like the Dolphins will go with Braylon Edwards.

thats why I was suprised to see Henry may be going to Philly. If he couldn't handle McGahee, I don't think he could hande a situation with Westbrook.

The difference is that Westbrook isn't a pound the ball 20 carry/game type of player. I think McGahee could be that type of player. Henry would get plenty of touches in Philly, more than he would in Buffalo.

I can't seem to connect to the irc server.

Could someone post step by step instructions?

sovereignstar · 04-23-2005, 11:43 AM

File, Select Server
Change IRC Network to Accessirc

Then connect to server and use '#FOFDraft' as your channel.

Draft Dodger · 04-23-2005, 11:46 AM

guess Ricky Williams isn't coming back...

Noop · 04-23-2005, 11:47 AM

Damn the Dolphins. Trade the stinking pick you need more stinking picks!!!!!

sovereignstar · 04-23-2005, 11:51 AM

Why hasn't McPherson been picked yet?

Noop · 04-23-2005, 11:52 AM

Don't worry, the Vikes will grab him.

Maple Leafs · 04-23-2005, 11:59 AM

So is the Draft Facts page on NFL.com correct... only six players are actually at the draft?

LionsFan10 · 04-23-2005, 11:59 AM

Who's going to take Kirby Puckett?

I can't believe the niners passed on Jim Leonard.

that's usually about right. no one wants to risk sitting there for 30 picks.

Honolulu_Blue · 04-23-2005, 12:15 PM

Suzy Kolber is doing a good job with this interview with Cedric. She's pushing and digging into Cedric's concerns. Not just your usual fluff, letting the players say vague things and then letting it drop. Impressive interview.

The Broncos have three third round picks, I'd LOVE for them to draft the guy if he's there.

It was like a Barbara Walters interview.

Comey · 04-23-2005, 12:16 PM

Wow @ Cedric Benson. He really is overwhelmed. I'm very impressed by him, and he may have gotten an added fan on this day!

I will say this about the interview. She really just asked questions that have already been asked (dreds, Ricky Williams, etc). It just worked because he's really touched to be picked as high as he was. So, it's more him, in my opinion. She didn't really give a great interview...it just fell in her lap.

Honolulu_Blue · 04-23-2005, 12:21 PM

If Rodgers aint picked by the Bucs, he's gonna be one nervous kid in the Green Room.

Honolulu_Blue · 04-23-2005, 12:23 PM

Looks like it will be Cadillac...

sovereignstar · 04-23-2005, 12:25 PM

Who's annoyed with these family shots telling us who's gonna be picked, ruining Tagliabue's podium presence? I'm not liking it.

I remember one year where a guy was waiting in the green room till the late teens/early 20s and then was selected by the Vikings. The story I heard was the guy called Denny Green up and pleaded that he pick him.

Logan · 04-23-2005, 12:30 PM

Does it seem to anyone else that the satellite reporters (Palantonio, Greenberg) are missing cue cards or something? They seem very flustered.

And the whole ringing of the stock market bell as Tags announces the picks has got to go.

I am sure he maybe gon by the 2nd round... he has talent and in my opinion is the most talented of the QB's in this draft.

Poli · 04-23-2005, 12:33 PM

Kolber is retarded. Williams told her he has a bet with Ronnie Brown on who would be chosen. She then asks something along the lines of, "Did you and Ronnie have a bet on who would be chosen?"

Even my wife noticed that. Mercy.

TazFTW · 04-23-2005, 12:36 PM

heh, he has pacman bling.

Good thing Joe Namath isn't being drafted and interviewed again.

packers at 24

Arles · 04-23-2005, 01:05 PM

If the Packers pick a QB at #24, I will be very disappointed. At any rate, I doubt he falls past Carolina.

maximus · 04-23-2005, 01:06 PM

Benson to the Bears!!! I like the pick.

GO BEARS!!!!

st.cronin · 04-23-2005, 01:06 PM

15 minutes a pick is way too effin' long.
