NFL Draft Open SuperThread
For three days (the NFL has taken self-importance to a new level, what is this "Lonesome Dove"?), the futures of men, young (players) and old (Player personnel folk) will be cast.
Where will the men from the Forty Acres end up (please no more Redskins, Giants, or Eagles)? Will Colt get taken in the bottom of the 1st? Does Sergio fall to the 2nd? Does Chris Hall find a practice squad or stick with the God squad?
Lot of rumors going on. Big Ben to Arizona? Darren McFadden to Buffalo? Will Jimmy Claussen experience a Chris Simms' level descent? Will Al Davis draft Usain Bolt with his first pick? This should be fun.
We don't need more Cowbell. Kiper needs more Hair Gel. Here's Rick Gosselin's Mock Draft for a primer. Sergio falls out the 1st, Earl falls out of the top 20. Don't like that. Dallas gets Dez Bryant? I could live with that as long as we don't have to trade up beyond 22.
Also, be sure to check out ColoradoAg's Horrifying Draft hypothetical for entertaining invective and vitriol.
Lastly, it is rumored that Scipio may have some livebloggish comments from the draft itself tonight.
Let's talk about it. Anybody?

Hey look – Jeff Fisher taking a corner back!

Guess my copy and paste was too long….I thought it made it easier to reference….
This is from info Gosselin gets from his contacts in the league. He’s certainly not always correct, but I do fear for poor Sergio…A lot of whispers about someone trading in the back end of the first for Colt and Claussen falling. I think Cleveland will pick him in the 2nd if he doesn’t make it to the first…

I’m crawling out on a limb to predict that no players from A&M will be selected today, tomorrow, or the day after that.

I’m calling it right now. Cowboys trade up to grab Earl in the late teens!

TWC doesn’t have NFL Net! Sh!t…..I may watch on the computer b/c the thought of having to deal with Berman, Steve Young, and McShay makes me want to stick needles in my eyes…

Flacks just sent this. OchoCinco and Reivis, working together!!! CRAY-Z!

I, for one, just hope we get to see Tebow cry in prime-time. I’ll settle for Tebow trying to get Sergio Kindle to pray with him. It’s a can’t lose scenario either way.

I’m pretty sure Baylor has at least as many 1st round draft picks in the past decade as our friends from the State Armpit (That would be one first round pick in a decade). Why any major recruit even considers Collie Station is beyond me.

Marshall Faulk just put on Emmit Smith’s underwear with this gem:

Lot of noise about Dallas packaging pick #27, Marcus Spears and probably a late pick for #12…..Difference of opinion on who they’d pick up there. Dez Bryant or Earl Thomas???
by Patrick Bateman on Apr 22, 2010 3:19 PM CDT reply actions
I hope that rumor is true. My guess at 12 would be Earl Thomas, which would make me happy.

Also: fingers still crossed that the Raiders do something hilarious to land Roethlisberger.

Rumor was that Pitt balked with Oakland on a deal for Big Ben:
Al was asking for a swap of first rounders and Ben.
Pitt wanted Oakland’s first (8th overall) outright….

“Lot of noise about Dallas packaging pick #27, Marcus Spears and probably a late pick for #12”
I know Spears is a 3-4 DE, but my God he only has 8 sacks and 107 tackles in 80 games. Not sure why anyone would let Dallas move up 15 spots in the first round to get that spare and a late draft pick.
by Houstonearler on Apr 22, 2010 3:40 PM CDT reply actions
I’m hearing Philly swapping with Miami. That’s got Earl written all over it.
That guy saying Kindle to fall out of the first means one thing, he’s getting played. GM’s are good at finding useful idiots.

Rumors of Texans and Raiders swapping with Texans getting McFadden. Great afalete, po vision. Don’t like it.
by magnusbleuveigner on Apr 22, 2010 3:42 PM CDT reply actions
Yeah, and that dude has the Texans taking CJ Spiller which will not happen in a million, bazillion years.

I agree, although he did have his best year of his career. Remember, Spears was a Parcells pick. In fact, he wanted to draft Spears at #11 in the 05’ draft and then trade down with #20. Jones over ruled him and went with Ware at #11 and then Spears fell a tad to #20. Big Tuna wasn’t thrilled with Jones about the Ware pick until he got his pet cat at #20.
Magnus:
Gosselin is generally considered one of the premier draft presenters based on his contacts in the league. You could definitely be right though, tis the season.
Toad:
Very much agree. That pick stood out to me as just dumb. Spiller is a great return man, but otherwise he would duplicate Steve Slaton’s job in the offense. Unless Slaton is on the move as well….

Jesus’ Dad (Does that make him God?) claims they’ve gotten assurances Tebow will be a top 15 pick. His agent seems smug and says they know where he’ll go.
Denver at 11 is being rumored. Maybe Jax at 10, PR move….
by Patrick Bateman on Apr 22, 2010 3:59 PM CDT reply actions
Tebow in the top 15 is fucking asinine. Goodell should step in and suspend everyone involved.
by nordberg on Apr 22, 2010 4:07 PM CDT reply actions
I don’t even understand why Bucky Richardson, I mean Tim Tebow is discussed as a first four round pick. It’s just a cult of personality thing, I guess. I’d absolutely draft Dan Lefevour before I’d draft Tebow. I actually think Lefevour is going to be a steal in this draft.

Vikings looking to get Haynesworth? That seems odd, but Pat Williams is getting up there….
The rumor we heard lines up with something Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune wrote today, indicating ESPN’s John Clayton had mentioned that the Vikings had contacted the Redskins about Haynesworth.
by Patrick Bateman on Apr 22, 2010 4:22 PM CDT reply actions
Pat Williams isn’t getting old, he’s atleast 38. Bad move on the Vikes. Hold fast and have your pick of a fine DT at a fraction of the cost. Brian Price, imo.
by magnusbleuveigner on Apr 22, 2010 4:27 PM CDT reply actions
So we’re going to run two open threads simultaneously during the draft?
by Scipio Tex on Apr 22, 2010 4:29 PM CDT reply actions
Didn’t know you were doing one, feel free to run with it…..
