Yeah, I wouldn't put Brady in the "model hound" category. He def could be if he wanted but is not.

Nice move Eli. You should have talked to Jeter before you went through with it.

if you were to believe the shirt i saw in boston the other day, jeter plays for the other team.

Huh? I thought those were bird watching shirts. You know, barn swallows, West African swallows, Jeter swallows etc.

Sounds like Jake Long is a Dolphin per ProFootballTalk.com

 

[phanan]

Sounds like it per everywhere now.

This should be an interesting draft, with hopefully a lot of movement.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

looking more and more that the giants will be trading jeremy shockey for at least a 2nd round pick.

good riddance, have fun, peace out

 

[phanan]

If they can get a second rounder for him, I'd consider that a steal.

 

[CTU2fan]

I'm more interested in what will happen with Urlacher and the Bears. I can't imagine they'd actually trade him, but the Pats could use a linebacker...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

he could suck for the rest of his career... he was still joe namath for one day

this is true... they need someone who can bring down the immovable force which is eli manning.

Shouldn't be too hard now that he's dragging a ball & chain behind him...boom tish

 

[BEAL]

Anyone else sick of Brett "Diva" Favre? I don't understand why he can't just say he's never going to play again. You're retired, so move on!

 

[phanan]

Pats move down three spots, pick up an extra third round pick, save some money, and still get a linebacker.

Sounds fine and dandy, but I have no idea who Jerod Mayo is.

With the 14th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select future hall-of-famer Chris Williams from Vanderbilt!!!!!!!!

 

[LemonMelon]

Skins have THREE 2nd round draft picks.

Skins have THREE 2nd round draft picks.

....and we wasted them all on receivers. I hate being a Skins fan.

Maybe the Lions will try to top them and take 4 wrs in a round next year.

 

[phanan]

Sounds fine and dandy, but I have no idea who Jerod Mayo is.

Well, he's considered to be at least the second best linebacker in the draft behind Rivers, and some people actually liked him better.

I was alternating between ESPN and NFL Network, and the draft guru on NFL Network (forget his name at the moment) liked Mayo better and thought the pick was fantastic.

 

[Mr. BAW]

I like Jacob Hester, fullback from LSU; just went #69 to San Diego...a great blocking back and 3rd down player for the Chargers, I'm guessing his speed held him back to this spot...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Sounds fine and dandy, but I have no idea who Jerod Mayo is.

i txted my pats fan friend after they drafted the mayo and asked him if he thought this guy would be able to bring down eli manning, unlike any of the other pats linebackers.

he was not ammused. i was, though. i L O Led

 

[speedracer]

Congratulations Headache, your new big-play receiver scored a 6 on the Wonderlic.

Should be exciting seeing him and Plaxico lined up on the outside, assuming that he doesn't get lost driving to the Meadowlands and isn't completely stoned when he plays.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i don't exactly know why they drafted manningham... receiver isn't exactly a position that the giants are thin in. eh, whatever... we still have the beast that is eli manning.

 

[LMP]

Keith Rivers graduated from my high school the year before my freshman year, but it was still cool to see him be drafted in the top 10.

That is definitely cool.

I went to high school with J Leman, who was the University of Illinois' leading tackler for the last three years, and he lived two blocks away from me.

Sadly, he didn't get drafted today. He will most likely be signed as a free agent, though, and will get a shot to make a team. So there's still a chance that I will be able to say that I went to school with an NFL linebacker.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i'll be perfectly honest with ya, i'm a little upset that shockey wasn't traded.
