The Official Draft Thread

[Dave Butz Baby!]

Holy Crap.. we just traded with the Bengals somehow and picked up Chris Cooley, TE Utah State.

Sweet!

[SKINSnCANES]

whatd we give up, looks like Gibbs might have found his guy.

I'm getting tired of that Coors Lite commercial with the unconscious dude and all the hot chicks. Why do they have to show the same things over and over? Can't they mix it up a little?

[SKINSnCANES]

haha, my girlfriend keeps gettign mad because shes tired of seeing that commericla. So I agree, its getting old.

[Ghost]

Wasn't Chris Cooley on the short list of draft prospects who came to Redskin Park? This was all part of Gibbs' plan, I think.

[SKINSnCANES]

it looks like it was a target, we probably took him earlier then he would have gone otherwise, but if Gibbs thinks he could be his man then ill trust him.

Yeah, someone on another board said he had a private workout with the team.

Atlanta took Matt Schuab? WHy? They have Vick. From a UVA fans point of view, this sucks.

[JoeRedskin]

Didn't you know? Their GM is a VTech alum. He wanted to make sure no UVA QB ever got a starting assigment in the league and takes particular pleasure in putting Shaub behind a VTech QB. Face it, UVA just ain't got the stuff.

i had put up a post about him after i'd read a story on the washington post where gibbs had mentioned cooley by name being able to draft somewhere in the 3rd to 4th round range. i hope it was worth our 2nd round pick next year though. that's all i'm worried about.

let's face it, schaub wasn't gonna get any chances to be a starting qb anytime soon and with vick not really being a qb who can take a lot of hits, they wanted someone with good accuracy and football smarts to be his backup. sure I'd have preferred he had a chance to go to a team where he'd have the opportunity to play in a couple years, but it's not like he's going to a bad team.

plus he's very raw in talent.

I think the cowboys easily had the worst draft this year no matter what they do in their later rounds just for the simple fact that they could have had a stud of a rb in either jackson or jones and passed on both of them and had to settle on jones of notre dame.

the best draft so far, and probably the entire draft for their first two picks alone,goes to the lions. Adding Roy Williams and Kevin Jones to Joey Harrington, Charles Rodgers, and Hazim, is a freakingly scary young offense.

and i agree with whomever it was who posted how much of a monster line the raiders have rebuilt with their picks of gallery and grove. it kinda makes sense for grove to go there too with his do anything to get the job done mentality.

cooley was given a grade if 78 by espn's team of scouts and taylor was a 99 but under taylor's grade it has an alert about his character on and off the field. anyone know what they might be talking about?

[MTK]

Character issues are always the knock on Miami guys.
