[quote=BleedBurgundy;443611]So, what's everyone's biggest surprise pick so far? I think the Steelers taking Mendenhall has to be up there. Also Sam Baker and Duane Brown...[/quote]


I thought the Steelers would go Mendenhall mine was Chris Johnson to the Titans when I thought they would go WR.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

From ESPN:

Washington couldn't be happier about Thomas slipping, considering no one would have blinked had the Redskins selected him in the first round. Thomas isn't as good at stretching the field as his speed would suggest and he needs to improve his route running. But he has the quickness and athletic ability to continue to improve in those areas. He's also very good creating after catch for a player his size.

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;443615]Agreed. We're pretty set now, where else would we put another WR?[/QUOTE]

id rather have el and moss in the slots and bigger guys on the outside. could be a young potent influx of guys in that position

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Eagles go Kelly or Sweed

really, even with Willie Parker? I thought they would trade down once OL was depleted. After that, WR was a pretty big need. I agree with Matty, Mendenhall is a great back but it seemed like a luxury pick.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Top TE Fred Davis is still on the board too.

Please go Kelly. All of the TO attitude, with half the talent.

Probably a case of taking the best player on their board.

I was kind of surprised at the Tampa move at 20 in the 1st at CB/Talib. I thought they would go after a WR or QB.

I had them picking Mendenhall cause the Steelers were always at their best when they had a power back to help with the quote unquote speed back and with Mendenhall I thought they would get a power back with little to no ware on the tires so it seemed right with the pick.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Damn Eagles took Laws faggots

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Philly loves to draft DTs

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

there goes Laws.

QB? Don't they have like 5 QBs? I think CB makes sense for Tampa, I mean Ronde Barber is getting old.

Wow, once again the Eagles don't get a WR...who the hell are they going to throw at?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Skins on the clock again lets go Desean Jackson J/K

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Yeah, good pick. FRED DAVIS!! EWW

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Fred Davis Wtf????????????????????????????

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Fred Davis?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Fred Davis ????????????????? Horrible pick!

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

tight end? wtf?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Wow. More for the west coast. TE.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Fred Davis/ TE......a little surprised at the move.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Wow! Fred Davis? Are we going to convert him to FB?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Wow! TE...and it was a quick pick too.

I like to see what their plans are for this pick. Interesting to say the least.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

We really screwed up there.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

wtf...well we got the best WR and the best TE... not really a need. wonder how cooley is going to be used

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Wow...I don't get that pick at all. Why TE? Unless Zorn doesn't like Cooley for some reason.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

wow more offense for us. I see it coming either tall wr or another good and physical TE

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread

He Beat Joe Louises Ass!!! *SNICKER*

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Ok that makes zero sense.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Are we planning on going two TE's this year? Or is Cooley moving back to H-back? SS, what were those off the field issues you alluded to earlier regarding Campbell? Gotta wonder what the heck is up with this pick.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Those who subscribe to the "best player available" philosophy shouldn't complain too much about the Davis pick. I personally think we shouldn't draft anyone at RB or TE, but Davis was projected to go higher.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Sooooooooo are we going to trade this guy or something ?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

are we converting him back to wide reciever or using more of a 2 te set?

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

that is the one position that i thought we would not draft

I'm not one of those people. We have much bigger needs.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Fred Davis can play, that's for sure. But did we need him there? We can still get Campbell or Groves easily at 51 and the draft is deep enough at DB that I'm not too upset about not taking one there. But I don't know about passing those up for a TE

Blache must be like "Thanks for hooking me up guys"

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

we will really concentrate on our passing game. fred davis is a beast
