NFL Live Draft Thread - Round 1

[HoKiES34]

with the eagles and giants taking a pass rusher im glad we took Williams lol

[Dolla Bill]

Ok, just got in from a softball game. Glad we got OL, but I wonder if we got any offers to slide down.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

None we liked, obviously.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Derrick Morgan to Titans.

[Gravy]

Derrick Morgan to Titans.

Pre-cursor to a AH trade???????

[HAWGZHEAD]

SF pick already in Canfora says Iuapati (sp?) Bet the Steelers wanted that one

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Iupati to Niners. Set on protecting Smith.

[Dolla Bill]

Wow. The 49ers ran to the stage as soon as Tennesee made their pick.

[LATrueRedskin]

Jimmy Clausen is in a free fall.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Iupati will play OG. Some people were projecting him as a RT which would be a mistake.

[Gravy]

Iupati to Niners. Set on protecting Smith.

That cat is HUGE!

[HAWGZHEAD]

Atlanta on the clock?

[flave1969]

Niners are doing to their line what we should do.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Pouncey to Steelers. Good pick.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Witherspoon to Falcaons - best pick for them.

[HoKiES34]

kyle Wilson has got to be Houston's pick if not it could be a RB

[justinskins]

Texans take Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

CB Kareem Jackson to Texans. Fills a huge need for them. Surprised it wasn't Kyle Wilson.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Houston Selects Kareem Jackson CB Alabama

[HoKiES34]

Texans take Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama

Kyle wilson would have been a better pick

[lavell12]

Dez Bryant is going to make these teams look like fools.

[LATrueRedskin]

Tim Tebow has guido friends.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Cincy selects Jermaine Gresham TE Oklahoma

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

TE Gresham to Bungles. Passed on Bryant.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Broncos select Demariyus Thomas WR GT

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Looks like Packers could get Bulaga.
Donkeys take Demaryious Thomas over Bryant. Big Gamble.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Bulaga to GB. Great pick & great value. He can learn for a year.

[justinskins]

The Pack takes Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa

And now the Evil Empire is on the clock...

[VegasSkinsFan]

I would love to see us get back into the 3rd round and grab Calloway. GO SKINS !!!!

[HAWGZHEAD]

Cowgirls trade up

Looks like Dez Bryant.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Jeruh trades up to draft Bryant. Bye Bye Roy Williams.

[justinskins]

Now Bryant and Austin can celebrate together after every 5-yard reception...

[HAWGZHEAD]

Tebow to Denver?!?

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Wow - Broncos trade up to get Tebow.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Tebow to Denver?!?

I think so.

[cal_junior]

Can't believe Tebow goes before Clausen. Nuts

[justinskins]

Kyle Orton is an awesome quarterback...

[Gravy]

Can't believe Tebow goes before Clausen. Nuts

...Clausen will go to either the Bills or Raiders in the 2nd...Maybe

[Gravy]

Kyle Orton is an awesome quarterback...

...HEY, don't they also have Brady Quinn?

[flave1969]

they gave a 2,3 and 4 to get Tebow.

[HAWGZHEAD]

they gave a 2,3 and 4 to get Tebow. Wow... Well good for him

[cal_junior]

This seems like Al Davis just made the pick for Denver. But hey, what do I know?

[justinskins]

...HEY, don't they also have Brady Quinn?

This is either the beginning or the end of Josh McDaniels's career...

[Gravy]

they gave a 2,3 and 4 to get Tebow.

WOW! Just WOW! Really?? WOW!

[nicefellow31]

Josh McDaniel is an arrogant guy. Hope this works out for him.

[VegasSkinsFan]

WOW! Just WOW! Really?? WOW!

And we cant get anything for JC just yet...WOW. :)

[justinskins]

And we cant get anything for JC just yet...WOW. :)

And JC has already won more games than Tebow will start in his whole career...

[flave1969]

WOW! Just WOW! Really?? WOW!

Yep 43, 70 and 114

[Farmer Ted]

they gave a 2,3 and 4 to get Tebow.



This is the sort of thing that happens when you let an offensive coordinator run your draft. Heaven forbid they actually pick up some talent for their woeful defense.

[LATrueRedskin]

they gave a 2,3 and 4 to get Tebow.

Are you serious?

[cal_junior]

ESPN's lost my ratings - I freakin' love OT playoff hockey [/thread jack]

[cal_junior]

Belicheat on the clock

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

It's really just a 3rd & a 4th. Ravens traded down out of the 1st to Denver's 2nd rounder.

[Gravy]

...Is Vinny working for Denver?

[cal_junior]

Broncos first game of the year? At Jacksonville

[flave1969]

Schefter said Buffalo wanted Tebow hard. Could JC end up in Buffalo? Surely Clausen does not drop to pick 9 in round 2

[Gravy]

Dan Williams is a BIG BOY!

[Gravy]

I bet Jag Fans are ticked

[cal_junior]

I wonder if Kyle Orton and Tebow will have anything to talk about

"You wanna go to the bar with me?" "No."

"You wanna go to church with me?" "No."

[flave1969]

It's really just a 3rd & a 4th. Ravens traded down out of the 1st to Denver's 2nd rounder.

True, but still it seems an awful lot.

[cal_junior]

Looks like Devin McCourty to the Pats

[Gravy]

The Skins may be stuck with who they have...

[nicefellow31]

McDaniels went from Cutler/Marshall to a questionable QB in Tebow and a WR (Thomas) who played in the wishbone. Broncos forums are not happy. One of their sites crashed after the pick was made.

[cal_junior]

Miami on the clock

[justinskins]

Broncos forums are not happy. One of their sites crashed after the pick was made.

Did it crash because of traffic, or did the fans just decide finally to give up?

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

McCouty to NE. A little surprising.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Growing up as a kid in the 70's, i never would have thought that 2 guys from Rutgers would ever go in the 1st rd...wow.

[cal_junior]

What you want to hear if you're a Skins fan:

Jay Glazer (http://twitter.com/Jay_Glazer/status/12677238082): "draft has more depth in 2nd and 3rd rounds than any year in recent memory, this according to several personnel execs"

[cal_junior]

Rumors are Jared Odrick goes next

Shouldn't we be used to this...

Shame we dont have a pick in these rounds at the moment.

[cal_junior]

Fins take Jared Odrick, PSU

[Gravy]

Shame we dont have a pick in these rounds at the moment.

There is always that glimpse of hope...glimpse

[cal_junior]

Shame we dont have a pick in these rounds at the moment.

I guess the question is whether you'd rather have a high pick in each of those rounds or McNabb and Jeremy Jarmon

[cal_junior]

Jets take Kyle Wilson, CB

[skins4life24]

I guess the question is whether you'd rather have a high pick in each of those rounds or McNabb and Jeremy Jarmon

I would take the picks personally

[HAWGZHEAD]

I hope the Jets make a bad move. Fans are so annoying

[cal_junior]

I hope the Jets make a bad move. Fans are so annoying

see above, is that a bad move?

Yep and one of the reasons I was ok with trading Albert... hopefully we can really hit on our 4th and 5th rounders and add guys that can contribute at one of our many positions of need. There's always hope that a FA or two could be had before camp starts to fill in our holes at LB, FS, etc.

[flave1969]

I guess the question is whether you'd rather have a high pick in each of those rounds or McNabb and Jeremy Jarmon

Ideally I would like all of them. No problem with what we have but I have hated our draft policy for years, I still feel we will need to use it if we are going to be a good team again.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

CB Kyle Wilson Boise St to Jets. J E T S have a damn good secondary now

[HAWGZHEAD]

see above, is that a bad move?

I don't think so

[WarEagle]

McCouty to NE. A little surprising.

What was surprising was that stupid dance he was doing in his promo.

And Tebow goes to the state with the most megachurches. A beautiful match.

[justinskins]

If the Vikes take Clausen we should have no problem moving Campbell...

[cal_junior]

Does Clausen go here?

[nicefellow31]

Did it crash because of traffic, or did the fans just decide finally to give up?

Orange Country had a draft day thread going and it went down after the Tebow pick.

[cal_junior]

Chris Berman just said the Vikes shouldn't take a QB because Favre "doesn't want to hear that." What?

[justinskins]

And Detroit traded for #30, looks like they are taking Best.

[skins4life24]

I just saw that Vikings trading the pick and I didn't see to who, my heart jumped thinking it was the redskins. . . sadly it was the lions

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Vikes trade pick to Lions. Lions pick RB Jahvid Best California

[cal_junior]

Solid first round for Lions, imo

[HAWGZHEAD]

Solid first round for Lions, imo


Yep

[justinskins]

Solid first round for Lions, imo

Possibly the most talented player in the draft, and a top shelf running back, all in one evening? Yes.

*EDIT* Wow, Best's Wikipedia page already shows that he is a Detroit Lion!

[nicefellow31]

Chris Berman just said the Vikes shouldn't take a QB because Favre "doesn't want to hear that." What?

Berman has been weird all evening. ESPN coverage sucks. I don't have the NFL network anymore and I miss it.

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

DE Jerry Hughes TCU to Colts. No LT is a mistake IMO.

[cal_junior]

Countdown til Gruden's audible dumb*$# comment is on YouTube 5 . . 4 . . 3 . .

[HAWGZHEAD]

Countdown til Gruden's audible dumb*$# comment is on YouTube 5 . . 4 . . 3 . .

lol what was the context?

[cal_junior]

It warms my heart to know Jimmy Clausen is still sitting at home by his phone

[cal_junior]

lol what was the context?

something like: "It's a crazy league, lot's of dumba-- ". .. then I'm not sure

[justinskins]

It warms my heart to know Jimmy Clausen is still sitting at home by his phone

In three or four years he will be laughing his butt off when he remembers that Tebow went in the first and he didn't...

[skins4life24]

possible trade coming here . . . nevermind

[cal_junior]

possible trade coming here

After the Saints take Robinson?

[skins4life24]

After the Saints take Robinson?

I said that as time was ticking down. . . generally tonight when it got below 2 minutes it was cause a trade was coming

[justinskins]

Yup, Saints take Patrick Robinson, CB, FSU. Breesus announced the pick and the first round is over!

[nicefellow31]

In three or four years he will be laughing his butt off when he remembers that Tebow went in the first and he didn't...

+1. McDaniels....the jury is out on him.

[cal_junior]

I said that as time was ticking down. . . generally tonight when it got below 2 minutes it was cause a trade was coming

Gotcha, most of my draft consumption has been online. Thought I might have missed something while watching VERSUS

[HAWGZHEAD]

My favorite post from a Denver forum

And a child shall lead them

lol

[WinnpegSkinsFan]

Well thank God the Skins did the right thing. Drafting a QB would have been insane and drafting Berry would have left a huge void.

[cal_junior]

No Ohio State, Miami or Notre Dame players? Probably been 30 years since that's happened

[lavell12]

No Ohio State, Miami or Notre Dame players? Probably been 30 years since that's happened

but three guys from Oklahoma in the top 4.


Steve Young def took one too many hits.

[BraveHeartFan]

Now Bryant and Austin can celebrate together after every 5-yard reception...



Hmmm...1300+ yards and 11 TDs...that's an awful lot of 5-yard receptions from Miles Austin.


:P

[Emmanouel8]

Hmmm...1300+ yards and 11 TDs...that's an awful lot of 5-yard receptions from Miles Austin.


:P

yeah but in my expert humble opinion dez bryant will be a bust.

[redskin_rich]

Solid first round for Lions, imoI like Seattle's picks as well. Packers got a steal, imo and the Steelers got exactly what they wanted, without worrying about "BPA", "value" or any other buzzword used primarily by geeks that have never been in collision shape.

Berman has been weird all evening. ESPN coverage sucks. I don't have the NFL network anymore and I miss it.

Too many people talking on that panel. Berman had no control and it was the most unorganized coverage I have ever seen. Chuckie, was by far, the best on the panel. At one point, he said something about "a bunch of dumbasses" and I think he was talking about the ESPN crew, including Berman, during the '83 draft.

[BraveHeartFan]

yeah but in my expert humble opinion dez bryant will be a bust.



It could happen. I don't have an expert opinion, if I did I'd be working for an NFL team for a living, but I'll obviously disagree. :)

[joethefan]

IMO the dallas pick was dumb one...why pick another reciever when they have picks and money tied into Roy and have to re-sign Miles Austin, when they need saftey and oline help......just dumb IMO...

[DaveKShape]

mr. jones has admitted that he's given up on mr. williams.

[hail2skins]

I wonder if Kyle Orton and Tebow will have anything to talk about

"You wanna go to the bar with me?" "No."

"You wanna go to church with me?" "No."
I'm in the office laughing at this. LMAO

[whiskeytown]

"Now I'm done."
