2008 NFL Draft

[pennywisealfie]

anyone else interested at all in this? im a bit of a draft freak, i love the draft, probably been my fave part of the season these past few seasons while the raiders have sucked lol. I really hope one of the Long boys fall to 4 (raiders pick) and i really hope we dont take Darren McFadden, who is probably the best player in the draft, but we dont need an rb and def need either offensive or defensive line help. as much as id love one of the longs, i think they will go 1 and 2 picks to miami and st louis respectively. i think atlanta will take Run DMC (McFadden) at 3 and we will pick Vernon Gholston. however if one of the prev 3 somehow drop to us, then we HAVE to take one of the longs, and if Run DMC is still there when its our pick, im hoping we trade our pick with Dallas who have 2 first round picks, so we can address some huge holes, since dallas owner jerry jones pretty much wants to impregnate Run DMC.

Mat Ryan, the superstar QB that some people have going 1st pick (yeah right), i believe he will drop all the way to pick 8 with Baltimore.

Don't care too much about the draft...my team doesn't need anything! GO THE PATS!

 

[pennywisealfie]

pats have actually got the 7th pick. i think they will pick up linebacker, keith rivers.

Yeah they do. About 4 wheelchairs for their linebacking corp!

Jake and Chris long will go 1 and 2. Atlanta need a whole shitload of help everywhere but will take Dorsey. Vernon Gholston (my favourite player in the draft - absolute freak of an athlete!) will drop to the Jets at 6. I reckon the Raiders will go with Run DMC.

Pats will take McKelvin, Rivers or Gholston if he is still available.

Darren McFadden ftw.

Oakland have a prime position. All Quarterbacks this Draft are shite, Long will go one, Matt Ryan needs to go to Atlanta, nowhere else to go but to Oakland, Al Davis is about the spectacle. He wants McFadden. That simple.

my Ravens need a QB - desperately.

Any1 has to be better than the crap we've had in the last few years.

 

[pennywisealfie]

ur in for a good draft then spoonbled, im really going out on a limb saying matt ryan will drop to 8 for the ravens pick, but if not, theres always brian brohm

 

[pennywisealfie]

and god i hope jester and lachy are wrong, i so dont want run DMC, we already have fargas, bush and Rhodes in the backfield

 

[Je$ter]

Fargas went well last season. But I think Lachy is right, Al Davis loves the flashy guys.

Jake Long has agreed to terms with Dolphins, Chris Long will def go to Rams.

Penny I don't think the Ravens will trade down to get Brohm, they will take Ellis to sure up their D-line if Ryan is gone.

The Browns traded their first round picks for this year for Brady Quinn last year so I'm not paying too much attention - makes a nice change!

 

[pennywisealfie]

one step closer to getting chris long lol. i want him so bad, but i know rams will most likely take him :(

Do you mean Jake Long?

He's already been announced as the number 1 pick by the Dolphins and signed his contract today - no hold out for him!

Seattle just cut Shaun Alexander. MVP to Unemployed in two years, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW!

I saw on Sportscenter last night that there was a Chris Long as well mooted for a high pick so my apologies Pennywise - told you I wasn't paying much attention to the draft this year!

And I can't quite work out the Shaun Alexander thing either - teams will no doubt be killing each other to sign him

ravens need him. Sick of the Ravens just being a defensive team.

Once Ray Lewis retires thats it for them.

Ravens need a Quarteback, and they let go Jamal Lewis. They're a wasted team..

shawn alexander sucks balls now. i would be surprised to see him start at any team. The madden curse really did get him.

Falcons wont take long so im hoping the rams dont either, then he will be there for al davis to pass on him lol. fucking al davis! if we take mcfadden, ill be pissed.

i like the look of McFadden, I think he'd be dope. But I do have hope in Michael Bush running the show. and Rhodes being a great 3rd down RB, I can't see enough room unless we cut 3 RB's.

In terms of what we need, a new WR or Glenn Dorsey would be just fine. But I do think Davis with the flashiness and speed he so greatly desires, that McFadden will be our new pick.
