MikeT156 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Wow, I didn't now that! Peter King wasn't all that impressed with the Steelers picks, but I thought they picked the best available player when it was their turn to pick. We'll see. Mike T.

ProfD Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Well, the Skins have managed to score a few big (tall) WRs. However, that is one WR too many considering the liabilities we have at DE. Oh well, hope the 7th round pick at that position pans out. PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

A draft analysis 10 or 20 years after the fact, once the players have shown their true potential in the NFL. Then you absolutely need to check out the Wikipedia pages on earlier drafts. It's fascinating stuff. They highlight the guys that became Pro Bowlers or Hall of Famers, and often have some commentary as well. They've got every year back to 1936.

It's called the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies. http://homepage.mac.com/musicproduction/.Pictures/TongueGraemlin.gif Okay, but it takes a little digging and a little thought to remember who the over-hyped players were that looked like sure bets but didn't pan out, or great draft choices like Brett Favre who wound up being unwisely traded to another team, or the eventual great players who were treated like leftovers on draft day. That's the kind of analysis I'm talking about. Today's A- grade may look like an F in a decade and a premature D may eventually wind up a B, after all is said and done. Give me the real grades.

Magpel Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I love the NYG 3rd round pick of Mario Mannigham. He's a first round talent with issues. Could be a STEAL and is at the very worst a blown third round pick. Exciting! Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magpel Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'm thrilled with the DSBC-NYG draft. It may be a "B" overall but I'd call it an "A" for a team picking last. Immediate secondary help. A possible WR steal in the the third round, and a QB in Andre Woodson who used to be considered quite a pro prospect and lost a lot of stock, reportedly, after a hostile Mike Martz futzed with his throwing motion at the senior bowl. I expect Reese to bolster the LB corps though other means. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meccajay Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yeah Woodson is a steal, lots fo potential in him with the right coaching. And you know who got a draft day steal, it's the Steelers getting Dennis Dixon at QB in the 5th round. Here's a kid who was the top Heisman candidate, and headed towards a national championship before his injury. He can run with almost Vince Young type ability, throws a great deep ball, and can catch passes too in case he doesn't work out as QB for some reason, or if they want him to be this era's version of Kordell(lets hope not). As expected his draft stock plummeted because there was no real bowl game/combine workout/senior bowl to properly eval him. But I think he's got huge potential. Maybe in a couple years he can make it up to 2nd string if Charlie Batch moves on. TROLL . . . ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDragonSoun Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think Woodson is a very overrated QB. He was exposed over the last part of the year, never recovered. There were also some issues with IQ scores not being too high. He also showed some weaknesses in reading defenses and make poor decisions when teams turned the heat up on him at the end of the year. Personally I see him as similar to McPherson from Syracuse a few years back. A good college player but skills that don't transfer over to the pro game.

meccajay Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I wouldn't say Woodson was exposed, so much as him just being..streaky. When he's was on he was on! When he was off, it looked like he a different QB. he had 40 TD's this past year...40! I also wouldn't say he never recovered late in the year either, as he threw 6 TD's against Tenn in late Nov. *stats courtesy of Mel Kiper* They lost, but 6 TD's against a ranked SEC team??!! That game was a huge QB battle that got both he and Ainge into the NFL imho. The very next week, Woodson put 4 TD's on FSU. TROLL . . . ish.

MikeT156 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I agree with you guys about Dennis Dixon. He can continue to rehab his knee because we don't need him in the line-up just yet. The power that be were asked if the Steelers had designs on giving him some "Slash" duties like they gave Kordell, but they said NO. We'll see, things change as the numbers in the loss column start to mount. Mike T.

Again, still giving him the benefit of the doubt, but of all people in the league, you don't think of Marvin Harrison involved with stuff like this.

kanker. Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Yeah, I'm really curious to find out what the full story is here. Marvin seems like such a quiet, reserved guy - I was almost as shocked to hear he owned a bar as I was to find out he was involved in an incident like this. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable.

Griffinator Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 No kidding, talk about shattering perceptions. If you keep your personal life secret, and don't talk to the media, it's amazing how long you can hide the fact that you're an avid gun collector and owner of a nightclub...

SilverDragonSoun Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 The whole thing with Harrison came as a big surprise to me.
