2009 NFL Draft thread

[DanOregon]

So I'm trying to figure my parley for the draft:

Worst suit:
Last guy in the Green Room:
How many draft picks before Mel Kiper utters the word: "reach."

I'm watching Nnamdi Asomugha of the Raiders on ESPN right now on NFL Live, probably the best NFL analyst current or former player I've seen on the network in a while. No shtick, explains his points and it's not like he needs the coin. Really impressed. Hard to believe he's a cornerback.

Last guy in the green room will definitely be Josh Freeman.

Bubbler just had a nightmare and has no idea why. [/seedraftreviewthread]

So, Sportscenter tells me Seattle will draft Sanchez. They then spend the next five minutes talking about how denver and the jets want Sanchez. Does that mean Seattle's No. 4 is up for grabs?

Kansas City at No. 3, because the Chiefs never really wanted to draft that high (Pioli's used to trading down during his years with the Patriots) and because teams who want Sanchez would have to jump the Seahawks at No. 4 and the Browns at No. 5.

I thought Mark Sanchez was skipping going to New York because he knew his stock was falling faster than General Motors.

If this guy is a top 5 pick, it just tells me how far the league has fallen.

Apparently, The Dan is all over Sanchez. I definitely didn't want Cutler, but I'm intrigued by Sanchez since he can sit and learn for a year, maybe two.

Is Campbell that bad? I honestly don't think so.

Would the difference between Campbell and Sanchez be great enough to use a #1? Build up the OL and the WRs and draft a kid in the third round. I'm guessing he will look fantastic if he has all day to throw to guys who can get open.

You are trying to apply logic to a team owned by Dan Snyder. You do understand the flaw in such behavior, right?

Does anyone know why the draft starts at 4 and not noon?

Only the first two rounds are on Saturday this year, so the first day goes from 4-9 p.m.. And I believe the NFL toyed with the idea of starting it on Friday night.

No. I like Campbell. But I'm also realistic in thinking that Campbell has one, maybe two years left in DC, whether that's because of his play or contract. I wouldn't mind having Sanchez around when that day comes. Plus, all the good OTs might be taken by 13. And they can always find a DE somewhere else. Doesn't have to be an all american.

Foxsports.com reporting that Florida's Percy Harvin and North Carolina's Brandon Tate both tested positive for marijuana at the combine in February.

Didn't they shorten the time alloted to make a first round pick also?

I believe it's 10 minutes instead of 15 for first round picks, five minutes instead of 10? for the second.

Nice.

 

[spnited]

No way their done with two rounds by 9. The first round will take that long...do the math.

I'll be busy watching paint dry. It will be far more exciting.

You're right. If each team takes the max time, that'd be what, eight hours? Even if teams in the second round don't take all their allotted time, it'll still be way longer than five hours for both rounds.

WTF?
