NFL Draft

[mclem0822]

Saturday at 4, of course ESPN coverage. What team do you follow? What are their position needs? Players you'd like to see them take, and or not like to see them take?
If the Redskins do trade up, and for some reason do not get QB Mark Sanchez I would love to see them get one of those big OL's. Chris Samuels (as all pro great as he's been), is coming off surgery. We need to start building that line back up with some depth. We could use more help on the defensive line as well, Philip Daniels has been resigned, but he's also trying to come back from injury. I won't complain if they make the move up and get Sanchez, but I feel like other needs are their to be filled.

Another thing, what happened to starting at 12 noon? What did they change that for, prime time ratings? I think they need to change that back, IMO.

I think the best player in this draft was Hakeem Nicks, the receiver from UNC that went to the Giants at #29. I love that guy.

Incredible catch!

Nicks was the guy who tweaked his hammy in the offseason and packed on some pounds, right? Seems like the logical guy to take Burress' spot, same strengths.

Two stellar drafts from the teams atop the NFC East. Looks like they will be there for years to come.

There wasnt a move made this whole offseason by the Birds that I didnt absolutely LOVE. They continue to put themselves in great shape for next years draft. What looks to be a 2nd round pick for Lito from the Jets, and Seattle's 3rd round pick next year. (An awesome move by them this year by trading out of 3rd round, as they still got the TE they coveted in Ingram from FLA in the 5th). I'm eager to see how defenses are going to match up with some of these formations.

He is a big strong fast kid.
I dont know about the best, but he is damn good.
The Giants were looking for his type.

Crabtree and Maclin were obviously not available.
Even if they were, I think the Giants would wish both
were more physical receivers like Nicks. (ala Pexiglass)

Imo Crabtree is lots better than Maclin. Nicks is very good.
He did not get to strut his stuff in college quite like the first two.

Stop saying he's fast. He's not. He has completely average speed, and that was before he gained 14 pounds after the combine. He's a decent possession receiver. That's it. I'd be shocked if he ever caught 1,000 yards. I don't care how many footballs he pulls out of his taint in bowl games.

I like him even more now. He's a player. Best receiver in this draft, including Crabtree.

Or a lot better. One of the two.

When he gets to 20 catches on the season we can start to talk about him. Or were you impressed with the garbage time TD from David Carr against the Special teams players yesterday?

Yeah, cause that was the only td catch he's had all season. Other than that, he's done nothing. He's only fifth in receiving yardage, first in receiving yards per game (remember, he missed two games), third in yards per catch (his 19.6 is behind a guy that has one catch for 23 yards and the second place guy is 19.7), and he's tied for the most touchdowns. If we can't talk about him in the convesation of best rookies, we can't talk about anyone.
