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.

Complete analysis

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.

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.

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?
