2011 NFL Draft Thread

Re: 2011 NFL Draft Thread

Whoever created that list felt the need to include Will Hill. That made me chuckle.

Dane Sanzenbacher deserves a chance somewhere.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft Thread

ESPN's commentators have once again, reminded me why I only watch the draft of NFLN. Do these "men" understand that being drafted is a great moment in the lives of these "kids"? Why sit there and demean these guys on their draft day. Mike Mayock is so much better at saying negative things without trying to embarrass or demean someone.

I only watched ESPN for about 15 minutes and it was in the 6th round and some team drafted a punter. ESPN pans to Trent Dilfer who was sitting there with his hands in his face grandstanding and carrying on while the rest of the hyenas have a good laugh at this kids expense. I'll never forget how badly they dogged Darius Heywood-Bey and haven't watched them since. I don't know why but it pisses me off when they go overboard and are overly negative on what is a special day in the life of a college football player.

Im with you on that, you litterly took the words out of my mouth. I watched espn for arround 10 minutes and that was when nfl net went to commericials. Kiper is the biggest reason I hate espn, he just doesnt seem to understand that these coaches know way more than him, he acts like he knows everything and you can see how his expression changes when its been proven to the whole world that he was wrong.

LOL Damn my man Will Hill ain't get picked?

Anyway, what's up with Herzlich not getting drafted? Was he simply a product of the BSPN Hype Machine because "he was fighting back from Cancer" or is he simply not that good?

He does have a good way of "being honest". He does not just say something negative about someone, but he always back it up with a postive comment about the player. It seems like Mcshay is trying to be like Mel Kiper. Dilfer, kickers and punter are people(just not as athletic)
Mcshay is my favorite draft expert, he tells it like it is.
I only watched ESPN draft during commercial breaks in NFLN(too many). Espn had too many coach interviews and was not as fast NFLN when it came to vids. NFLN seemed to know when not to talk and when to talk. NFLN did not skip any picks at all.

Probably that whole "My leg is a steal rod" thing scared everyone off.

Kiper never criticizes any teams for their picks. It can be the last pick in the Draft, who'll probably be out of the league in 3 years and Kiper will still say "Oh, don't worry because he'll be a key contributer on this team right away".

not really Kiper. I liked what Kiper said about Newton, he said he should start right away and they should sign a vet to show Cam the way to handle meetings/Mon-Sat work and they should trade Clausen to get good value.
Clausen should get another chance. Not all QBs has a Sam Bradford season. He actually fits the Panther's new offense. But Cam brings excitement, will fill seats, and will make excellent plays. They can be a run-first offense and slowly add more plays

Re: 2011 NFL Draft Thread

I know this shouldnt effect my thoughts of kiper, and it rarley does but I just cant stand looking at him. He just makes the wierdest faces, and talks to fast

Re: 2011 NFL Draft Thread

Christian Ponder, worst pick in 2011 draft?

Ive seen him play a few times, and there is no way he is a first round draft pick. What were the Vikings thinking, who idea was this, they alt to be fired.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft Thread

Mel Kiper. The guy who said Jimmy Clausen was the steal of last year's draft? The guy who said Mike Williams was a HOF'r? The guy who said Matt Leinart was a steal? My point is, these guys miss as much as anyone on players.

Not one guy on ESPN can hold a candle to Mayock. It's not even close. Mayock has actually had teams offer him front office jobs. You think any team would ever hire Kiper or McShay for a personnel job? Nope.

Not even the Raiders?
