tkam Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Anyone else watching the draft today? I was thrilled that Mendenhall fell all the way down to the Steelers at #23 I think he'll be a perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I've been more or less following it. I'm glad that Pats have finally decided to add some young blood to their older-than-dinosaur linebacker corp, I think this is the first time since Katzenmoyer in '99 that they've used a first-day pick on a linebacker. Of course, time will tell whether Mayo works out for them, but at this point, I like the pick. There have been some surprises, like Joe Flacco getting picked in the 1st round. EDIT - Yeah, Mendenhall is a nice pick for the Steelers. One can never have enough quality backs these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 The Chiefs are having a hell of a draft so far, I'd bet all 3 of their picks so far will be playing from day one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I think you're right on Chiefs, and they have two picks in the 3rd round from the Vikings. The Allen trade is looking really good right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Dreamer Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Whew...10 USC players drafted! I found it pretty funny that some of the NFL network guys considered JD Booty one of the dumbest QB's in the draft, such a conclusion certainly speaks to his decision to stay in the game vs. Stanford. I'll be shocked if he does that well in the NFL, as USC generally won despite him, and Leinart has been a bust for the most part, he pwned Booty at 'SC. I also found it rather amusing that Cincinnati drafted Jason Shirley from Fresno State. This guy is a serious troublemaker, kicked off the team due to his numerous arrests ranging from drunk driving to hit and run. Just what orange jumpsuits from the 'Nati needed.
