(Official?) Draft Thread/Watch Party

sterlingice · 04-26-2003, 11:18 AM

Actually, I'll be heading out soon so I guess I can't do a whole lot but I'll kick it off.

I was afraid the Bengals would take 15 mins after Tagliabue went to the podium. Thankfully they only took about a minute. I don't think it should be that tough since they already signed him to a fat contract and all.

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 11:20 AM

The Lions didn't take their whole time either, did they? That's a nice change...

Ben E Lou · 04-26-2003, 11:21 AM

For those that missed it, Jim has set up a draft chat room:

#3 ... now things get interesting.

sterlingice · 04-26-2003, 11:26 AM

Yeah, I'm curious what my Texans will do. Too bad no one wants to trade down or else I'm sure they would have done that.

SI

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 11:27 AM

Good move Texans. 3 for 3 so far (like that was tough).

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 11:29 AM

OOPS! I have ESPN's draftcast on, and they put up Jason Johnson (QB) as the #3 pick for 15 seconds or so.

sterlingice · 04-26-2003, 11:29 AM

I dunno if I like this pick. I thought he was pretty overrated. Basically, that Miami factor. Maybe I'm just biased, tho.

SI

Schmidty · 04-26-2003, 11:32 AM

I am sooo excited and happy that the Lions got Rogers!!!!!

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 11:32 AM

4th - Jets - Dewayne Roberston ... overpaid!!!!

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 11:32 AM

So, it looks like the Cowboys get Newman...

sterlingice · 04-26-2003, 11:32 AM

Wow- only a half hour for the first 4 picks. As my girlfriend walked in and said "wow- they might only take 12 hours this year". Anyways, I'm heading out.

SI

Calis · 04-26-2003, 11:33 AM

Please oh please let some freak occurence come up, so my boy Newman isn't forced to play for the Cowboys.

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 11:33 AM

Anyone think SkyDog should sticky this thread (or one of the draft threads)??

Well, Parcells may overrule Jones and select Kennedy...

Heh, yeah right, Jerry letting someone overrule him...

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 11:41 AM

Yup, Newman it is...

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 11:41 AM

5 - Cowboys - Terrence Newman
No surprises yet.

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 11:46 AM

You know, the Cowboys could have a truly great secondary in the very near future. Roy Williams, Terance Newman, Derek Ross...lotsa young talent there...

ISiddiqui · 04-26-2003, 11:47 AM

Wow... the first four went exactly as thought

.

Now it gets interesting.

Philliesfan980 · 04-26-2003, 11:49 AM

Does anyone else here HATE Chris Bergman? He seems like the "arrogant" asshole type.

Sorry, kinda off topic, but since he's going to be on all day just wanted to see if I wasn't the only one who though this.

ISiddiqui · 04-26-2003, 11:51 AM

Nope, I LOVE Berman

.

But, whatever floats you boat

.

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 11:54 AM

Yeah, Boomer's cool. Love him on Primetime...

Philliesfan980 · 04-26-2003, 11:55 AM

I understand his appeal. He's just too much "over the top".

A few years ago my Bergman was thinking of one of his "crazy" names for Carlos Delgado. He was asking for help on the air (I think this was the time when he was still doing baseball tonight). Anyway, my Boss called in and left a message saying Carlos "Innagodda" Delgado would be a good "fake" name. (I know it sucks, but thats not the point of this). Anyway, Bergman proceeded to use it and flaunt it. Didn't thank anyone for it, not even so much as an espn hat. I wonder how many other people's things he stole without credit. Stuff like that really bothers me.

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 11:55 AM

TRADE #6 to New Orleans .... to take Jonathan Sullivan?!!?!?

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 11:55 AM

Huh???

ISiddiqui · 04-26-2003, 11:55 AM

TRADE!

Arizona trade to New Orleans... and they pick Jon Sullivan!!

Wow! I thought it was gonna be Trufant!

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 11:56 AM

Jim's contest just got REAL interesting! I should have written down my picks, but I know that one was way off.

Philliesfan980 · 04-26-2003, 11:56 AM

Wow, what a terrible pick! No love for Jimmy Kennedy!

ISiddiqui · 04-26-2003, 11:57 AM

Very interesting...

Does Arizona get any more than NO's two #1s?

Thomkal · 04-26-2003, 12:00 PM

Excuse me while I scream:

Not only do my beloved Cards trade down in the 1st, they trade down in the 2nd and lose a 4th rounder apparantly. Unbelievable...if it was anybody other Arizona.

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 12:01 PM

They swap 2nd rounders (N.O. moves up), and I think Arizona get's a 4th.

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 12:01 PM

I thought Ariznoa got the 4th ... maybe I heard that wrong.

Schmidty · 04-26-2003, 12:03 PM

What a horrible trade for the Saints.

Trade up.......to take Sullivan!?!?!?!

vtbub · 04-26-2003, 12:03 PM

Sits and scratches head....mmm maybe they signed ALF as their GM in a package deal with Emmitt.

mckerney · 04-26-2003, 12:05 PM

Suggs @ 7?

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 12:06 PM

mckerney, would you rather see Suggs or Kennedy (or someone else)?

The Afoci · 04-26-2003, 12:07 PM

I hope suggs, but kennedy would be okay too. I definately has to be dl. Tice says high pick must be lineman. Hopefully he sticks to that.

Thomkal · 04-26-2003, 12:08 PM

espn.com is saying Saints got the Cards 4th.

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 12:09 PM

OK, I was wrong, N.O. gets the 4th.

N.O. gets 6, 37, 102
Ari gets 17, 18, 54

ISiddiqui · 04-26-2003, 12:09 PM

HOLY CRAP!

Vikings Passed!

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 12:09 PM

What's going on with the Vikes???

vtbub · 04-26-2003, 12:10 PM

What the hell...the Vikes pass?!?

Schmidty · 04-26-2003, 12:10 PM

What the hell?!?!?!!?!

Craptacular · 04-26-2003, 12:10 PM

Vikings run out of time ... again!

Jax gets Leftwich!!!!

ISiddiqui · 04-26-2003, 12:10 PM

Jags got Leftwich!

Great pick!

vtbub · 04-26-2003, 12:10 PM

Leftwich great pick for Jax

JeeberD · 04-26-2003, 12:11 PM

I'm confused...did the Vikes lose their pick? What's going on????

Edit: OK, so they can choose whenever they want. This is freakin weird...

korme · 04-26-2003, 12:11 PM

I remember last year the same thing happened to MInnesota... what is wrong with them and drafting??

ISiddiqui · 04-26-2003, 12:12 PM

Panthers got Jordan Gross! They got their man!

SFL Cat · 04-26-2003, 12:12 PM

What are the Vikes thinking?
