The Official 2007 NFL Draft Thread

About fucking time this came. As a Lions fan it's either get really pumped (CJ) or get ready to author a suicide note (Adams). Everything else is purgatory.

Report: Titans to acquire Mike Williams from Lions
By Terry McCormick, [email protected]
April 28, 2007

According to the NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans are expected to acquire wide receiver Mike Williams from the Detroit Lions for an undisclosed draft choice.

Williams, the Lions’ first pick in 2005, has been a disappointment since being taken 10th overall that season. He had just eight catches last season.

The move reunites Williams with his former Southern California offensive coordinator Norm Chow.

Ironically, Williams was a player the Titans strongly considered taking with the No. 6 pick in that draft, when they drafted Adam “Pacman” Jones, who is now suspended for the entire season.

The Titans are still believed to be in the running to acquire San Diego Chargers running back Michael Turner, though Tennessee apparently has declined to offer a first-round pick, which Chargers general manager A.J. Smith has demanded in any deal for the running back.

[JeeberD]

I'm TICKED. I haven't been scheduled to work a Saturday in MONTHS, but what happens this week? Gotta be there from 2-9ish. Argh!

My 6000th post is a sign of solidarity to you.

[Izulde]

I'm ticked that I don't get ESPN out here so I can't watch the draft. Oh well, I really need to keep working on my paper, I guess. 6 pages of 15 done so far.

ESPN Radio?

[Coder]

Any video or audio available on the net? (draft coverage that is)

[Joe]

what time does it start

?

[Young Drachma]

It starts in an hour, according to ESPN..so...noon Eastern.

C'mon man, anyone in the service industry with some sense asks for this day off. I had it marked down months ago.

Umm, is it just me or are the Titans really, really bad judgers of character. They drafted Pacman-and we know what happened-and then trade for Mike Williams, who is not know for being the cleanest player or even an effective player!

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I'm TICKED. I haven't been scheduled to work a Saturday in MONTHS, but what happens this week? Gotta be there from 2-9ish. Argh!

I hadn't worked the early Saturday shift in a few weeks (they pulled me after several problems with a show, believing me to be the problem.) So my first draft weekend in eight years where I have ESPN and they tell me Wednesday they NEED me to work it. If I didn't need this job...

...and I'm happy happy, joy joy to get rid of Mike "Post Route" Williams. Why do I call him "Post Route?" Is it because he runs that route excellent? Nope. Because he runs like the goalpost. Maybe Chow can make a decent reserve out of him...

Can't wait to see who Millen will be cutting or trading for a 6th rounder in a few years! :D

[JeeberD]

C'mon man, anyone in the service industry with some sense asks for this day off. I had it marked down months ago.

Seriously, it's been like six months since I had to work a Saturday. I thought I was safe... :(

At least I have Sunday off, when Jordan Palmer and, if he falls a bit, Johnnie Lee Higgins will be drafted.

[Izulde]

ESPN Radio?

Don't get that either, unfortunately. I'll just have to rely on good ol' FOFC.

[Young Drachma]

Keyshawn has already outshined Michael Irvin's days with ESPN. lol

Keep my sister and daughter away from the TV... My sis actually sat down to watch the draft when the J-E-T-S drafted Kyle Brady because "He's CUTE!!!" I wanted to vomit...

[DaddyTorgo]

lions trading williams frees millen up to be the butt of a million jokes and select CJ.

[wbatl1]

lions trading williams frees millen up to be the butt of a million jokes and select CJ.

Honestly, I don't think Millen has any choice but to select Johnson. He's the best player in the draft, and everybody knows the Lions want to trade out--so they won't get anything close to a fair deal if they don't go ahead and take CJ and then look for a trade.

[st.cronin]

Did you hear him talking about hiring a dj for the green room? :D

oh I don't think he has a chioce either. Were I a lions fan i'd be fine with it. But that doesn't mean he's not going to get blasted for it

[Swaggs]

Easily one of my favorite days of the year.

My wife even loves draft day now. She got hooked watching it with me a few years ago, and now she actually looks forward to it.

I don't think it's all that terrible of a chance. Williams thrived in Norm Chows offense with USC, hopefully he will look at this as an opportunity to redeem a career that had appeared to be over.

[Izulde]

Thanks for the ESPN Radio link. :)

Just heard on there the Trent Green deal is close to happening. If it goes down, I'll be happy, depending on what we pay. Trent's one of the most underrated quarterbacks in the league, imo.

[14ers]

Are these Player introductions new this year?

Deon is going to town. "Ain't no Booing" LOL Brady Quinn got booed with his intro.

They mentioned on Fox Radio that the Chiefs have already sent some of Green's gear to Miami.

[tucker rocky]

Raiders possibly trading Moss.

Article at nfl.com:

NEW YORK (April 28, 2007) -- Oakland is sitting on two of the potentially biggest draft-day developments.

For starters, the Raiders have been calling New England, trying to engineer a trade for Randy Moss. The Patriots are interested and have offered a second-day pick for Moss. Raiders owner Al Davis shot down the Patriots' offer, believing he can get more. The two sides continue talking, hoping to hammer out a trade that seems less likely today than it did yesterday.

But New England has an advantage other teams don't. Any team that wants to trade for Moss will have to rework his contract, which calls for him to make $9.75 million this season. The Raiders even have asked Moss to restructure his contract -- the wide receiver has refused, challenging Oakland. But Moss is willing to redo his contract for the Patriots, a team the wide receiver believes can win the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl, at this point, is Moss' motivation in going to play for the Patriots.

As it stands now, it looks like it could be difficult to trade Moss this weekend. But the talks are ongoing and active, and they bear monitoring.

The other big development regarding the Raiders is the talks they've had in regards to their No. 1 overall pick. The team making a push to move up to No. 1 is the Cleveland Browns. But in exchange for the pick that put the Browns in position to draft LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell, the Raiders are demanding a first-, second- and third-round pick, and another first-round pick next year. At those terms, the Browns will pass on the deal, but they will continue to monitor the situation in the hopes they can pull off the trade.

[DaddyTorgo]

see I was bitching to foz last night that i'd puke if we got randy moss. But if we get him for a Day 2 pick I'd be okay with that. As long as we don't pay Al Davis' premium-price I'm okay with it, since that makes cutting him more possible.

[Swaggs]

Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! Oh Boy! :)

[sabotai]

Keyshawn has already outshined Michael Irvin's days with ESPN. lol

Not that doing that would be exceptionally hard, but I am impressed with Keyshawn so far. He's talking to the camera and making good points instead of acting like Michael "NO I CAN'T STOP SCREAMING!" Irvin.

I am assuming CJ would have to still be availble for this trade to go through.

[DeToxRox]

If the Jets, Eagles or Giants won a superbowl anytime soon, the draft wouldn't be as fun.

[DeToxRox]

I am assuming CJ would have to still be availble for this trade to go through.

Nope. Lions signed Marcus Robinson. He's Williams replacement.

[st.cronin]

Not that doing that would be exceptionally hard, but I am impressed with Keyshawn so far. He's talking to the camera and making good points instead of acting like Michael "NO I CAN'T STOP SCREAMING!" Irvin.

+1, he looks like he's going to be good at this.

It's that USC grooming... ;)

Oh.

Damn. :(

Dola.
Hey I liked that Reggie Bush commercial. Oh wait that's another USC guy.

Excellent!

gametime

[DanGarion]

So did jb get a reprieve to post today?

[st.cronin]

15 minutes a pick is way too long. 10 minutes would be ok, 5 minutes would be perfect.

[Swaggs]

15 minutes a pick is way too long. 10 minutes would be ok, 5 minutes would be perfect.

Tune in for the 2nd and 3rd rounds. ;)

[sabotai]

15 minutes a pick is way too long. 10 minutes would be ok, 5 minutes would be perfect.

You have to give the teams enough time to work out trades. That's one of the things that makes the draft exciting.

[DanGarion]

15 minutes a pick is way too long. 10 minutes would be ok, 5 minutes would be perfect.

Yeah, agreed, it's a lot of time, but I guess with so much money on the line they want to let the teams have the time to do their thing.

[sabotai]

"Suzy Kolber is working the green room"

:eek::eek::eek:

[DeToxRox]

I am hoping for another NFL Executive to rip into Kiper.

[DaddyTorgo]

this just isn't right without jb here

[SFL Cat]

I predict, the Raiders trade down.

[DaddyTorgo]

"Suzy Kolber is working the green room"

[Eaglesfan27]

Because the Raiders just picked ;)

[SFL Cat]

Told you the Raiduhs would take Russell.

[DanGarion]

Because the Raiders just picked ;)

Yeah, but that was before the pick. I got it on the TV and on the computer.

[Swaggs]

Am I the only one that has already pencilled Russell in as a bust?

Maybe if he went to a different team, it would be different, but I'm not seeing a bright future for him.

[Rizon]

You gotta really feel sorry for Russell.

[Rizon]

Am I the only one that has already pencilled Russell in as a bust?

Maybe if he went to a different team, it would be different, but I'm not seeing a bright future for him.

Almost 100% sure he'll bust in Oakland. Even God himself would bust. It's just a horrible situation for anyone there, especially a young guy who has absolutely nobody of value to learn from.

[MrBug708]

Why you got a spit on a dead mans grave!

Because OJ killed two people? :)

[DeToxRox]

Russell will be learning from Josh Booty.

[SFL Cat]

I don't think he'll be a Peyton Manning-type success. I don't think he'll be a bust, though.

[Rizon]

Gotta love the KEY LOSS / KEY GAIN bar that runs at the bottom of the screen.

MIAMI. Key Loss: Joey Harrington

Huh????

[DanGarion]

Wow Vince Young did sound like a 7 score on a wonderlick there....

[Young Drachma]

Watching the NFL Draft coverage on the NFL Network. It's not that annoying since they're not screaming.

[st.cronin]

Am I the only one that has already pencilled Russell in as a bust?

Maybe if he went to a different team, it would be different, but I'm not seeing a bright future for him.

I think he's going to be very good. The Raiders may still suck, though.

[Eaglesfan27]

If Aaron Brooks can be a key loss, anyone can.

[DaddyTorgo]

calvin johnson looks like he's crying

[SFL Cat]

Detroit must have selected him

[DeToxRox]

Don't trade CJ. DO NOT.

[Swaggs]

So, two years running that the best player in the draft does not go #1 overall...

[Eaglesfan27]

So, two years running that the best player in the draft does not go #1 overall...


At least this year, the 1st pick seems like he will be an impact player (I don't think JaMarcus will bust, even in Oakland.)

[cartman]

LOL

[SteelerFan448]

Now that the Lions got CJ, we'll see what players career is over when he is selected by the Browns.

[miami_fan]

Matt Millen's job is safe for another 5 years.

[Rizon]

Matt Villain should have a hell of a 4 wide offensive set.

[DeToxRox]

Everyone in the Green Room have turned off their cell phones with the Browns up.

[Swaggs]

Now that the Lions got CJ, we'll see what players career is over when he is selected by the Browns.

Please be Brady Quinn.

Having Brady Quinn play for the Browns works out well for me, since I already hate them both.

[tucker rocky]

Will the Lions pick pan out?

or

Another Millen Miscue?

[st.cronin]

I love the Detroit Lions.

[Rizon]

Maybe my TV is off, but Steve Young looks like he had a little botox/facial work done.

#FOFDraft, not #FOFCDraft, in case anyone else decides to join us.

[miami_fan]

Can the Browns braintrust afford to pick Quinn? I don't expect him to be good this year and if the Browns are at least 8-8 this year, I think Savage and Crennel will be fired.

[SFL Cat]

Quinn looks much too satisfied with himself.

[DeToxRox]

Brady Quinn would've probably partied with the Coreys if he was two decades earlier.

[tucker rocky]

Browns: QB or RB?

[QuikSand]

w00t! Joe Thomas #3!

[SFL Cat]

Hmmmmm. Interesting pick.

[tucker rocky]

Hmm, no Quinn or Peterson for the Browns.

[Dr. Sak]

Cry Brady Cry...

Will we get a Laura Quinn/Hawk shot?

[bhlloy]

That was funny watching the smile disappear from Brady Quinn's face. Not a great pick by the Browns passing him up IMO.

[DeToxRox]

Brady Quinn just released Phil Savages family from being held Hostage.

[Leonidas]

I'm stunned. The Browns actually did the right thing.

[tucker rocky]

I predict Quinn will fall to the Vikings.

[DeToxRox]

If Tampa Bay takes Gaines I'll be uneasy all day.

[DanGarion]

Maybe my TV is off, but Steve Young looks like he had a little botox/facial work done.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw him.

[DanGarion]

He just said the Bucs have Phil Simms resigned! Wow he seems kind of old to back up his son...

[JonInMiddleGA]

No wonder the guy went fishing.

[st.cronin]

Nobody thinks Tampa will pick Quinn, but their quarterbacks all suck.

[tucker rocky]

Nobody thinks Tampa will pick Quinn, but their quarterbacks all suck.

Garcia was decent for Philly last season.

[SteelerFan448]

Garcia is also approaching 40.

[tucker rocky]

w00t! Joe Thomas #3!

First swerve of the draft.

[amdaily]

Best first round decision since the Browns came back.

[Eaglesfan27]

Garcia is also approaching 40.


37, but I guess I'm approaching 40 too.

[tucker rocky]

Garcia is also approaching 40.

True.

I also forgot Simms is coming off of surgery.

[Honolulu_Blue]

If Tampa Bay takes Gaines I'll be uneasy all day.

Agreed.

I'm very happy with Calvin Johnson. Unless the Lions get an amazing deal, they need to stick with Calvin Johnson and finally have the offense they've envisioned since 2003 or whenever they drafted Roy Williams.

[tucker rocky]

Tampa:

QB or DE, LB, CB?

[Leonidas]

I love watching the ludicrous speculating the homers are all making on the ESPN draft watch. Some Ohio guy wanting to know if Cleveland will make a deal for the #5 pick so they can get Quinn. Um, if they wanted Quinn they would have drafted him already.

[DeToxRox]

Bust Adams goes 4.

If a trade goes down .. ugh.

[Leonidas]

Does Arizona reach for Brown now that Thomas is gone? I could see them trading with Miami here.

[tucker rocky]

Bust Adams goes 4.

If a trade goes down .. ugh.

Certainly not the best available at his position.

[DeToxRox]

Keyshawn has officially gotten annoying. All he has contributed so far is about this doomsday scenario trade.

[Rizon]

I just hope to all hell Quinn is not available when Miami picks. Please dear God please.

[SteelerFan448]

A trade is possible with Quinn still on the board.

[tucker rocky]

I just hope to all hell Quinn is not available when Miami picks. Please dear God please.

Vikings will pick him.

[SFL Cat]

I don't see Miami moving with Quinn still on the board.

[Leonidas]

Keyshawn has officially gotten annoying. All he has contributed so far is about this doomsday scenario trade.For the record, Keyshawn didn't need draft coverage to be officially called annoying.

[Thomkal]

ah hoped Thomas would be there for my beloved Cards. Think they have to go with Peterson now, or trade and hope to get Levi Brown a little later.

[st.cronin]

Garcia was decent for Philly last season.

While that statement is true, it doesn't translate to "We don't need a quarterback, we have Jeff Garcia."

[Honolulu_Blue]

Keyshawn has officially gotten annoying. All he has contributed so far is about this doomsday scenario trade.

You watching on Comcast, DeTox? If so, head down to 180. NFL Network. The coverage has been much better. I switched the moment Keyshawn was introduced on ESPN.

[tucker rocky]

A trade is possible with Quinn still on the board.

Seeing that Arizona and Washington are not in need of QB, they could trade down with Vikings moving up.

[miami_fan]

I just hope to all hell Quinn is not available when Miami picks. Please dear God please.

You and me both. You and me both!

[DeToxRox]

You watching on Comcast, DeTox? If so, head down to 180. NFL Network. The coverage has been much better. I switched the moment Keyshawn was introduced on ESPN.

I'll do that. Thanks for the heads up.

[Leonidas]

This guy Keith Kidd on the ESPN draft tracker is really a pain. He keeps throwing out "How do you pass on a franchise QB." So he's gonna criticize every team that doesn't take Quinn. How do you pass, d00d, look at your draft history. Top 10 QBs are a huge risk. Stop throwing this in our face. Maybe Cleveland learned from the Couch fiasco.

[SteelerFan448]

Smart pick for the Cards, even though it was high for Brown.

[Thomkal]

ah well they probably could have traded down and got Brown, but it was certainly their biggest need.

[Leonidas]

I'll give the Cards credit for going against conventional wisdom and taking need over the perceived "better player." Of course if Minnesota takes Quinn I have no clue what Miami will do.

[SFL Cat]

You and me both. You and me both!

Yeah, the Dolphins are loaded at QB already, aren't they. :cool:

[General Mike]

Okoye or a trade down is in order here, I believe.

[Swaggs]

Do the Redskins take Landry here?

[Thomkal]

Washington should definitely try to trade and get more picks

[tucker rocky]

Washington is in need of what position?

[Leonidas]

Do the Redskins take Landry here?If they don't trade it, yeah. As a Dolphins fan, sadly I think the Brown pick means they are going to be desperate to trade up.

[st.cronin]

I have no idea what the Redskins will do. I think Landry would be the best move.

[tucker rocky]

You and me both. You and me both!

Rest easy, Quinn is a definite Viking.

[wade moore]

Okoye or a trade down is in order here, I believe.

Agreed. I'm a skins fan and that's my hope. I understand why the talk of Landry, but I think the Skins defense will not improve without better DLine play.

[DeToxRox]

I can see Snyder going for Peterson.

[SteelerFan448]

Regardless of who takes Okoye, I'm very intersted to see how he performs in the NFL because of his young age.

[SFL Cat]

Sounds like the Skins are taking Landry.

[Sublime 2]

Looks like it'll be Landry.

[Arles]

ah well they probably could have traded down and got Brown, but it was certainly their biggest need.
I don't see a possible trade. Why would Washington (Landry/Okoye) or Minn (Quinn/AP) trade up when their guy will fall? Also, Atlanta at 8 was rumored to be after Brown. I don't see a deal they could have made to trade down and still get Brown.

[SFL Cat]

If Minnesota takes Quinn, I think the Dolphins take Peterson

[SteelerFan448]

I can see Snyder going for Peterson.


But aren't they stacked at RB?

[DeToxRox]

But aren't they stacked at RB?

I could still see it. Snyder is a maniac.

[SFL Cat]

Folks aren't sold on Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, he's too much of a flake and it isn't for sure he even returns to the team.

[wade moore]

So the Skins take Landry. I see the logic, but I really, REALLY worry about the DLine.

[tucker rocky]

Ok Viking fans, here come Brady Quinn.

[General Mike]

trade the pick Vikings, trade the pick.

[st.cronin]

Could Atlanta take Peterson?

[Swaggs]

No way the Vikes take a QB here.

[Swaggs]

Could Atlanta take Peterson?

I think the Falcons might take Okoye.

[tucker rocky]

trade the pick Vikings, trade the pick.

Vikings need a QB, no trade here.

[SFL Cat]

Some are saying the Vikes take a corner

[bhlloy]

Vikings fans are deluded if they think Brooks Bollinger or Tavaris Jackson are ever going to be NFL QB's. I don't see how you can pass on Quinn right here.

[Vinatieri for Prez]

trade the pick Vikings, trade the pick.

Not if no one else wants it.

[stevew]

CLICK CLACK!

[Surtt]

Vikings fans are deluded if they think Brooks Bollinger or Tavaris Jackson are ever going to be NFL QB's. I don't see how you can pass on Quinn right here.

It is not the fans, it is the coach that is deluded

[Arles]

NFL network is saying it will be Peterson.

[General Mike]

Vikings need a QB, no trade here.

They have a young QB. Trade the pick.

[wade moore]

Agreed, but in the cover two that Williams uses so much, having two real S's with Fox, Stoutmire and Prieleou as well, they can now get back to the blitz heavy schemes from before last year. I also am interested to see how the DT spot plays out in the offseason as Golston looked like the best player there last year, and maybe Griffin can regain his previous form. I would have preferred a trade down, but at that spot the only other player I like enough is Anderson who I think is the best DE in this draft by a good bit.

Yeah - like I said, I see the logic. And if we had oh.. a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th rounder to get a DT I'd feel less nervous...



Side Note: The replays of the Vikings botch in 2003 NEVER gets old.

[SFL Cat]

It's Peterson to the Vikes

[Leonidas]

There ya go. Atlanta takes Okoye, Miami grabs Quinn.

[SteelerFan448]

Definitely an upgrade for the Vikings backfield.

[st.cronin]

I need details on that watch that Peterson is wearing.

[Chief Rum]

I'd be lucky to throw a football 10 yards from my knee... :(

Why is your knee the starting point from which you choose to measure the distance you can throw a pass?

[JonInMiddleGA]

Maybe the Falcons have swerved everybody & they take Quinn ;)

[SFL Cat]

There ya go. Atlanta takes Okoye, Miami grabs Quinn.

Yep.

[tucker rocky]

Well, I'm totally wrong.

No Quinn to the Vikings, Miami is looking like a possible destination.

[Leonidas]

Maybe the Falcons have swerved everybody & they take Quinn ;)
Dolphin fans can only hope, cause then we get Okoye, the guy I wanted them to get all along.

[Rizon]

Quinn to Miami :(

There ya go. Atlanta takes Okoye, Miami grabs Quinn.

Agreed.

[Leonidas]

Or Atlanta could swap with Houston so they can take Willis, Houston takes Quinn, Miami gets Okoye.

[stevew]

I think that the Vikes were wise to at least see what Tarvarias can do for a whole season, before taking a QB. They should have one of the top RB tandems in the league, and that should take a ton of pressure off of the young guy.

[General Mike]

Or Atlanta could swap with Houston so they can take Willis, Houston takes Quinn, Miami gets Okoye.

Why would Houston take Quinn?

[Chief Rum]

He of the Daryl Russell school?

Comeon, Bug, that's not classy. Let the dead lie in this case, God rest their souls. How would you feel if they ripped on Eric Turner?

Besides, there are so many from the living to choose from. Lendale "Butterball" White, the fat crying lineman in Miami, that lazy oaf Williams, Reggie "Do I have to pay taxes for my college years income?" Bush, some guy named OJ... and that's just off the top of my head!

[Surtt]

It's Peterson to the Vikes

Great a running back with bad shoulders.

[Leonidas]

Why would Houston take Quinn?
Because they need a QB about as badly as Miami.

[st.cronin]

Brady Quinn's girlfriend is very meh.

[tucker rocky]

Quinn to Miami :(

Maybe Quinn will be the next Dan Marino.

[SFL Cat]

Just heard that a Dolphins official said not so quick on Quinn.

[Arles]

Because they need a QB about as badly as Miami.
Schaub's just as good Quinn (given what we know now). Houston has more pressing needs than that.

[Young Drachma]

Brady Quinn's girlfriend is very meh.

Have to appreciate his loyalty though. Dated her since HS.

[Tyrith]

If Quinn gets by Miami, which seems like it's at least possible...it could be a LONG way down. What's the next team that might want him, Carolina? And that might not be terribly urgent. Jacksonville? Doubtful. If he gets past Miami he's going to PLUMMET like Rodgers did.

[Atocep]

Schaub's just as good Quinn (given what we know now). Houston has more pressing needs than that.

Schaub also got a huge contract. They won't be taking Quinn.

[kingfc22]

Can Okoye really fall to the Niners?!

[SteelerFan448]

With the Falcons going with Anderson, do you have to question Okoye some?

[Swaggs]

Interesting pick in Anderson.

[Leonidas]

Schaub's just as good Quinn (given what we know now). Houston has more pressing needs than that.Oh, forgot about Schaub. Not that I am any more sold on him than Quinn.

[DeToxRox]

I think we're getting another WTF pick.

Okoye is going over Quinn to Miami.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Schaub's just as good Quinn (given what we know now).

So you figure that Quinn is mediocre too?

[st.cronin]

Just a note, Jamaal Anderson kicked Joe Thomas's ass in whatever bowl game they play in Orlando.

[Leonidas]

Anderson? He was sliding off the scale. Good talent, but I'd take Okoye or Willis over him on any day ending in Y. OK, Miami gets Quinn out of the way, so what does Houston do? Okoye, Willis?

[st.cronin]

Quinn to Buffalo, maybe?

[Leonidas]

I think we're getting another WTF pick.

Okoye is going over Quinn to Miami.We Dolphin fans can only hope. I might be tempted to take Willis too. That guy is a freak.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Brady Quinn's girlfriend is very meh.

Agreed. She's no Elizabeth Kucinich.

[Honolulu_Blue]

The NFL Network and ESPN have to stop taking commercial breaks at the same time.

[General Mike]

Because they need a QB about as badly as Miami.

Why did they give up 2 2nd rounders and swap 1st rounders for Matt Schaub then?

Houston needs to take a QB now like I need a hole in my head.

[Tyrith]

Houston trades down with Denver, Denver takes Willis, San Fran takes Okoye, Buffalo takes Hall, and the draft goes back to what everyone was predicting, just with the Brown pick disrupting the order a little. That's assuming Quinn goes next.

[Vinatieri for Prez]

Agreed. She's no Elizabeth Kucinich.
:D

[Tyrith]

My wonder here is if there is still a Detroit/Tampa Bay trade looming. There's not really a rush until TB's pick in the second comes up...they have several hours still to work something out if they want to go that way.

[st.cronin]

Anderson lined up more at LDE over the RT that game than going against Thomas.

Yeah, but when he did go against Thomas he won almost every time.

[Leonidas]

Why did they give up 2 2nd rounders and swap 1st rounders for Matt Schaub then?

Houston needs to take a QB now like I need a hole in my head.As I said in a later post, I forgot about Schaub, although I'm not any more impressed with him than David Carr.

[SFL Cat]

I'd be surprised if Miami doesn't take Quinn.

[tucker rocky]

If Quinn gets by Miami, which seems like it's at least possible...it could be a LONG way down. What's the next team that might want him, Carolina? And that might not be terribly urgent. Jacksonville? Doubtful. If he gets past Miami he's going to PLUMMET like Rodgers did.

If that happens, he could plummet out of the 1st.

No other team below Miami is in a pressing need of a QB.

[SFL Cat]

Doesn't look like Quinn has gotten a call, though

[Leonidas]

So could Miami make the two worst QB moves in franchise history in one weekend. Waste a top 10 pick on Quinn and trade for a washed up QB in Green. Watching Green in the playoffs has me wondering how someone like Randy Mueller could possibly think that guy has anything left in the tank. Culpepper looked better last year than Green.

[albionmoonlight]

The NFL Network and ESPN have to stop taking commercial breaks at the same time.

Collusion sucks.

[SteelerFan448]

The concussion Green got pretty much ended his career IMO. He will still be able to play, but he'll never be the same player that he was. Tommy Maddox got gunshy after taking a hit against the Titans. Not that he was all that great in the first place, but that was the beginning of the end for him.

[SFL Cat]

Doesn't look like the Dolphins took Quinn.

[MrBug708]

So does he fall to Cleveland then? Or do the Raiders take him and go with a tandem :)

[DeToxRox]

LOL!

[Rizon]

SWERVE

[Swaggs]

Wow!

[SFL Cat]

What a suckkkkeeeeee PICK

[st.cronin]

roflmao

[DeToxRox]

I was wrong about Okoye but damn this is better.

[Eaglesfan27]

WOW!

[SteelerFan448]

Ted Ginn?? Wow! With no QB and an aging defense...

[Tyrith]

PLUMMET! PLUMMET! PLUMMET!

Wow. Oh my gosh, wow. What a reach. What a disaster for Quinn. This is going to be the longest afternoon of his life.

[st.cronin]

DOLPHINS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[stevew]

I'm speechless

[miami_fan]

WHAT?!

[Atocep]

I don't even know how to respond to that.

[Leonidas]

Huh?! Ginn? Reading all my Miami media he was hardly even mentioned as a guy they were even so much as looking at.

[Young Drachma]

Hmm...Jets move up to get Quinn?

[miami_fan]

Please tell me there is a trade here!

[SFL Cat]

DOLPHINS SUCK

Fire Cameron.

[Tyrith]

Miami fan just got kicked in the nuts.

[st.cronin]

As a Patriots fan, I am absolutely GIDDY about that.

[kingfc22]

Ginn #9. WTF! A top 10 pick for a kick returner?

[bhlloy]

:D :D :D A punt returner number 9 overall. Worst draft pick I can remember.

[Leonidas]

All I can say is this shows how badly wrong the media has gotten the Brady Quinn lovefest.

[Northwood_DK]

The 49ers must be very happy.

[SteelerFan448]

That was a horrible pick.

[tucker rocky]

A reach pick, IMO, for Miami.

[SFL Cat]

Holeeeeee....

Well, I guess they needed a replacement kick returner for Wes Welker

[Tyrith]

"With the 31st pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Brady Quinn, quarterback, Notre Dame."

[SackAttack]

If I read Quinn's lips right, all he had to say after the Ginn announcement was 'That's surprising.'

Gotta wonder how much more profane the mental tirade was.
