The official 2008 draft discussion thread

I heard he had a terrible combine & ran like a 4.8 or 4.9 that is why he wasn't drafted.

He got like a 6 on his Wonderlic right?

i dont get why we took a TE when we have cooley and run a 1 TE system... I mean, at the time i was a bit mad, but we did get good value with the picks we made, even though i'm not super hot on the guys we got.

we passed merling, laws, campbell, scheuning, and caldwell at various points, but everyone we got is going to have 4 year deals at vet min at least, and we didn't reach at all. the problem with WRs is it may be years before we know if they're any good... at least kelly was drafted to a WCO though. in a vertical offense he'd look like mike williamd jr.

durant is a 4th round talent, horton is good depth (slow but productive, like doughty), shotgunning receiving targets might actually work out for us, since we have depth and only need one standout (like moss's first year) between the two new guys and moss.

i'm not sure the cbs are more than camp fodder or non starting depth and we didn't get anyone of note at OL/DL really...

look for rudolph hardie as the #1 UDFA for the skins... he has a real chance to get playing time if he lands here (went to hampton, we need DEs still, so it might work). highsmith is definitely worth getting in here too, and i think haynos might stop by, since he's really local.

The WCO typically uses a lot of 2 TE sets.

story, as I understand it, is that he felt pressured to run injured and ran a 5.1 and a 4.9 at the combine, but then ran a couple of 4.6s on his pro day.

There's no way he's a top lb in the sec while running a 5.1... ya know what I mean? And as a UFA there's nothing but upside bringing in a guy like that who has everything to prove.

It was a 7 damnit... give the guy some credit :)

One day Colt will win us a super bowl with Malcom Kelly and Devin Thomas as the starting WRs, and this draft will go down as one of the best of all time. Don't forget Mark Rypen was a 6th rounder too

when are we allowed to start signing the un drafted rookies?

We've already signed one. Check out the Official UDFA Signing Thread

Well we've now got:

Moss
Randle El
Mix
Thrash
Mathis
Thomas
Kelly

Who are the odd men out? Will Zorn carry 5 or 6 WRs?

Mathis is a goner. It's going to come down to Mix and Thrash. I'd say Thrash has the edge cause he can do more.

If it comes down to Mix and Thrash I wouldn't be surprised at all if Thrash is the one who gets the boot.

Is Mix tradeable at all?
