OFFICIAL NFL DRAFT THREAD

[Dr. Lecter]

McKelvin or a trade

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

bermans' taxi guy will know the pick!

[shelby]

DRC!

[Scumbag College]

There's GOTTA be someone who wants to trade up for Clady or Albert now before Chicago, Denver, or Detroit gets at them. Plus they would have their pick of CBs.

[shelby]

bermans' taxi guy will know the pick!
:rofl:

[Ebenezer]

yack yack yack...get to the pick.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Personally, I still would trade down, knowing that I will still be able to get a top CB later, with all the teams needing O-line and other positions between 11 and 17

[DraftBoy]

DOMINIQUE RODGERS-CROAMARTIE!!!!!!

If this pick happens Im buying a jersey almost immediately!

[JPFBillsFan]

here comes a trade or McKelvin

[Ebenezer]

waiting for the cab driver...

[Patti120]

NFLN saying its McElvin

[DraftBoy]

Why did the clock just reset?

[Patti120]

not to psyched about that but who the hell am I to say!

[Ingtar33]

pick is in

[Ebenezer]

they reset the clock...is there a trade?

[lordofgun]

Devin Thomas just picked up the phone.

[DraftBoy]

I think I want to smack Steve Young right now for even mentioning DeSean Jackson.

Devin Thomas just got a phone.

[Ebenezer]

cabbie is stuck in NF!!! LOL

[HiHat31]

looks like dev thomas

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

reciever... youwatch

[Patti120]

looks like we will be forced to trade back into the first for a WR.

[DraftBoy]

DRC! DRC! DRC!

[LifetimeBillsFan]

And, the Bills...take McKelvin

[Ebenezer]

McKelvin

[HiHat31]

cb

[chubluv]

The pick is in they take.........

McKelvin

[shelby]

:curse:
i wanted DRC....we took McKelvin....
:hang:

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

hmmmmm....

[Ebenezer]

At least I got the position right!!!!

[Luisito23]

Pathetic

[Patti120]

Hopefully we don't give up the house to trade back up

[DraftBoy]

Damn passed on DRC for McKelvin, still happy with the pick but not as good as we could of done. I think we just made a mistake.

[shelby]

Oh :curse:, DraftBoy...are you ok brother?

:console:

[Don't Panic]

Best player availbale for what we needed... I am surpirsed we couldn't get a trade down partner.

[Ingtar33]

not bad... hands of stone.

[Ebenezer]

It was the easy pick. Way to high to pick up a WR.

Keyshawn likes the pick.

[Patti120]

We're back online!

[KO1]

here comes kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Devin]

Good job, we needed to go D there.

Id have preferred DRC but the Bills have always drafted great CB's.

Lets trade up!

[KO1]

here comes kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DraftBoy]

A little shocked Stewart went before Mendenhall, and I have to think KC had Albert graded way above Otah hence why they traded up.

Look for DRC to maybe go here to Arizona to combine with Antrel Rolle.

[shelby]

wow.

[Ingtar33]

wow... part of the draft gone.

no run on CBs... -yet-

I'll pull out the magic 8-ball and say Arizona will go with Mendenhall

[Ebenezer]

WRs are dropping...anybody thinking trade back up into the 1st to get one?

[Dr. Lecter]

Nice pick. I like it.

I would have preferred a trade down, but McKelvin was the best choice w/o a trade down.

[Ingtar33]

btw: Dorsey and Albert.

good draft by the chiefs so far.

[DraftBoy]

WRs are dropping...anybody thinking trade back up into the 1st to get one?

Hope not we can't afford to, we need to sit pat and take what's avail in Rd 2 or 3.

[Ebenezer]

enough of the body armor commercials...

[DraftBoy]

btw: Dorsey and Albert.

good draft by the chiefs so far.

Two dominating lineman which is where the games are won. Very good start to their draft.

[Ingtar33]

in my mock none of the WRs went before 20... but once they started to go, i think i had 4 or 5 go before the end of the 1st.

[Dr. Lecter]

WRs are dropping...anybody thinking trade back up into the 1st to get one?

Perhaps. But if there is no run, they might stay put.

[Ebenezer]

maybe Baltimore would like to give up that pick they got in the first to move down for our second...we could throw in JP...lol.

[DraftBoy]

Dont see Baltimore moving down from there pick they are taking a QB there probably Brohm.

[im4bflo]

maybe Baltimore would like to give up that pick they got in the first to move down for our second...we could throw in JP...lol.

Throw in JP? What happens when chicken legs get's hurt?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

McKelvin may have hands of stone, but there's a reason why he was the top-rated CB. He's not the freakish athlete that DRC is, but he is close and is far more polished and NFL ready. He won't have the trouble jamming bigger WRs at the line in the NFL that DRC had at a much lower-level in college.

He won't generate the same number of turnovers as DRC (who I loved as the # 2 CB), but you need to have a CB defend more 3rd down passes in a game than you expect him to get turnovers and McKelvin won't let his man get his hands on as many passes in those situations and will get the ball back for the offense more often in that way. Both are going to be very good, but McKelvin will be ready sooner and, with experience, will keep teams from throwing his way very often.

[Ebenezer]

Arizona - DRC.

[Ingtar33]

looks like DRC.

Detroit on the clock

[Ingtar33]

probably mendenhall here.

[Ebenezer]

got to like DRC's height.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Hope not we can't afford to, we need to sit pat and take what's avail in Rd 2 or 3.

I agree. It will cost too much to move back up into the 1st round.

[BidsJr]

Every third down passed defenced is a turnover. That is more important to me than int's.

[LtFinFan66]

DRC for the Cards

[Ingtar33]

Philly, Tampa, Washington and Dallas all could take WR here.

[chubluv]

After the 7th pick this has been a weird draft. I dont know if its the time between picks, or the picks them selves.

[LtFinFan66]

Lions take WHO??

[Ebenezer]

um...a little reach by the Lions??

[Ingtar33]

Charilus - Detroit

a little suprising

[Slim]

lol.

[Ebenezer]

After the 7th pick this has been a weird draft. I dont know if its the time between picks, or the picks them selves.
it is almost too fast...they just missed the Lions pick.

[Ingtar33]

typical matt millin goof.

[LtFinFan66]

it is almost too fast...they just missed the Lions pick.Who missed it? NFLN didn't

[chubluv]

Matt Millen still gets crazy with his picks.

[Ingtar33]

Houston is thanking god Detroit skipped Mendenhall, they needed a RB bad. and somehow he fell to them

[Ebenezer]

Charilus - Detroit

a little suprising
little?

[Ebenezer]

Who missed it? NFLN didn't
ESPN

[Ebenezer]

Baltimore traded up.

[LtFinFan66]

ESPNFigures

[Dr. Lecter]

McKelvin press conference on WGR right now!

[chubluv]

Flacco is going in the first round who would of thunk it

[Ebenezer]

they traded up for Flacco?? Did they think Philly was going to take him?

[Ingtar33]

wow... and Balt trades up.

[Ingtar33]

Flacco to Baltimore

[Dr. Lecter]

they traded up for Flacco?? Did they think Philly was going to take him?

Either that or another team was negotaiting a trade up.

[Ingtar33]

unreal. this is kyle boller vs 2.0

[Ebenezer]

so...how many years for Flacco to be productive?

[LtFinFan66]

Damn, Flacco #18

[Ebenezer]

unreal. this is kyle boller vs 2.0
Should they put bust on the back of his jersey now?

[chubluv]

Would we be at the 15th pick if it was last year by this time?

[Ingtar33]

so...how many years for Flacco to be productive?

he won't. it took McNair 3 or 4 years to adjust from 1-aa, and Flacco was no McNair. He's Basically Kyle Boller mixed with Rob Johnson.

[Ebenezer]

he won't. it took McNair 3 or 4 years to adjust from 1-aa, and Flacco was no McNair. He's Basically Kyle Boller mixed with Rob Johnson.
they got a lot by moving down but this was a waste.

[Ingtar33]

here come the possible WR run.

it will start with one of the following... philly, tampa, washington, dallas

my bet is Philly will take Jenkins. and Tampa will start the run on WRs

[Ebenezer]

does it sound weird to say that the draft is going to fast?

[Ebenezer]

here come the possible WR run.

it will start with one of the following... philly, tampa, washington, dallas

my bet is Philly will take Jenkins. and Tampa will start the run on WRs
Panthers trade up

[Ingtar33]

-edit-

oops. misread the tracker. never mind

[Johnny Bugmenot]

does it sound weird to say that the draft is going to fast?
They sped it up from last year, so no.

[Ebenezer]

nice pick by panthers.

[Ingtar33]

Panthers for Otah, good pick

[Ingtar33]

Tampa has it's pick. Jenkins or Devin Thomas.

they're a happy team.

flip a coin.

[Luisito23]

TB will not take a WR!

[Ebenezer]

I still wouldn't mind a trade up to get one of the WR.

[The Quebecer]

Look for the Bills to trade back up with Seattle @ 25...

[Hamilton Billsfan]

Phil just paid next years 1st, this years 2nd and 4th for this years pantload

[Dr. Lecter]

Look for the Bills to trade back up with Seattle @ 25...

Very possible.

[Gunzlingr]

Is Thomas repped by Douchenhaus? Maybe that is why he is always on the phone when they show him :D

[Hamilton Billsfan]

Sorry, I meant Carolina, not Philly

[LtFinFan66]

Carolina gave up too much to move up

[Luisito23]

See!

[Gunzlingr]

Talib to TB

[LtFinFan66]

Talib....hmmmm

[Ingtar33]

Bucs take Talib...

wow... took the no character guy.

this guy is DeAngelo Hall v2.0

[Ingtar33]

well, if Washington doesn't take a WR then the WR class is as bad as i suspected this year.

[Captain gameboy]

Re Talib....He's the one guy I cannot stand.

[Slim]

Keep the WR's on the board baby!

[Ingtar33]

Washington need WR, if they don't take one, it's likely Dallas will take a RB, and Pittsburgh will have to chose between WR and RB

[Patrick76777]

Phillip Merling to washington. Or Campbell.

[theanswer74]

Washington traded the pick team not known

[Ingtar33]

Washington trades with ? buffalo maybe?

[BidsJr]

Atlanta

[Ingtar33]

nope. Falcons.

[BidsJr]

Mendenhall?

[Ingtar33]

it's Baker, OT.

wow...

yikes... this is like the bills trading up for mccargo.

[shelby]

Sam Baker~

[BidsJr]

Maybe we get the best CB and WR?

[LtFinFan66]

Sam Baker to ATL

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Wow! They traded up to get Sam Baker. Not a lot of folks had him rated as a 1st round guy. Interesting.

The run has come on O-linemen. And, it may continue for a bit yet. I hope so.

[Ingtar33]

Dallas on the board, with a RB or WR to go.

My guess is they take Jones or Mendenhall, and take a WR at 28 (unless they have a WR rated higher then those two)

[LifetimeBillsFan]

it's Baker, OT.

wow...

yikes... this is like the bills trading up for mccargo.

Yeah, it is. I wonder where the "drop-off" point is at the position....

[chubluv]

Does Dallas take the first WR? or are they taking Felix Jones or Smith from S.Florida. then the WR at 28.

[Luisito23]

Dallas is taking a RB....

[Ingtar33]

yeah... i suspect it will be Mendenhall or Felix Jones...

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Mend

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Dallas takes Felix Jones

[Ingtar33]

here it comes... lets see...

Felix Jones.

[chubluv]

Did Jerry Jones draft with his ego or is Jones better then the kid from Illinois?

[Ingtar33]

Pittsburgh up now... possibly Mendenhall or Jenkins... they could go WR too. big wildcard on this pick

[Slim]

What does Pit need?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I think Felix Jones is a heck of a RB, but I'm not sure that I would take him over Mendenhall at this point. But, is he ever FAST!!!

[Ebenezer]

A WR has to go now...they just keep falling.

[Slim]

I have a feeling we trade up within the next 3 picks.

[Patti120]

Interesting. Do the bills sit tight and wait for whatever WR falls to them? It makes sense in that it doesn't appear that any of the wr's will come in and make an immediate impact.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

What does Pit need?

O-line, WR, and they can always use LBs and RBs

[Ebenezer]

pitt taking mendenhall?

[helmetguy]

What does Pit need?


To have a mammoth sinkhole swallow up that whole city.

[BidsJr]

Mendenhall Pitt it looks like

[Slim]

Looks like Pit takes Menden.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

I think Pitt. goes with Mendenhall

[Ebenezer]

To have a mammoth sinkhole swallow up that whole city.
tell us how you really feel.

[Ingtar33]

-magic 8 ball time- Steelers taking Mendenhall

[helmetguy]

tell us how you really feel.

I would, but that's a TOS violation.

[Patti120]

Mendenhall it is!

[LifetimeBillsFan]

It is Mendenhall to Pitt.

[Ebenezer]

another RB. should have been gone earlier.

[Ingtar33]

yep. I think Pits sees Jerome Bettis in him.

[Slim]

Here goes the first WR.

[Ebenezer]

the WR run has to start soon...Houston, SD, Dallas could all use one.

[Ebenezer]

dinner time.

[Ingtar33]

Titans need WR... might be the first WR here.

[BidsJr]

Jenkins?

[Ingtar33]

Tenn, Sea, Hou, SD, Dallas, and SF all could take WR here.

[Ingtar33]

we're going to find out how weak the class is after this stretch here.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

The Titans go with Chris Johnson, RB

[BidsJr]

whoa

[Ingtar33]

Tenn take Chris Johnson.

this draft class's WRs are really weak, and looking worse by the minute.

[Luisito23]

RB's are flying off the board!...And people thought this was a WR draft....

[LifetimeBillsFan]

WOW! Johnson is going to be a good RB, but this just goes to show that a lot of NFL teams agreed with Mayock's assessment of the weakness of this WR class.

[shelby]

We're going out for pizza soon.....i'll check back in later:D

[Ingtar33]

Johnson reminds me of Chris Brown

same basic runner

[TigerJ]

Seven teams left and no WR taken. Good news for Buffalo in the second round.

[Ingtar33]

Sea, SD, Dallas, SF and the NYG are the only teams left in the 1st round who might take a WR

[Dr. Lecter]

This is really working out for the Bills!

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Johnson reminds me of Chris Brown

same basic runner

Yeah, I agree. Maybe a little smaller and not quite as much of an upright runner. Might not get hurt as much as C.Brown did, although Fisher will run his RBs to death if he can.

[Patti120]

Seven teams left and no WR taken. Good news for Buffalo in the second round.


very good news!

[Patti120]

I love beer! and have lots of it! that's good news too!

[Luisito23]

We're going out for pizza soon.....i'll check back in later:D


:sadbye:

[Ingtar33]

Seattle might take a QB here, or trade down.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Seattle trades their pick to Dallas

[Ingtar33]

trade down to Dallas.

here comes WR, Devin Thomas maybe? -i'll shake the magic 8 ball here-

[chubluv]

Dallas moves up 3 spots for a wr?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Dallas goes with Jenkins, CB

[Patti120]

and it is...Mike Jenkins!

[Ingtar33]

Dallas takes Mike Jenkins.

i should dump the magic 8 ball. lol

[chubluv]

Mike Jenkins slips to 25.

Did Seattle, Houston or SD really pose a threat to take Jenkins?

[Ingtar33]

Houston... trade down?

or will they take a QB? DT?

[Dr. Lecter]

Houston... trade down?

or will they take a QB? DT?

Kentawn Balmer?

[Ingtar33]

nope. Dwayne Brown, OT.

wow... amazing reach. terrible pick.

It looks like Houston thought more OTs or RBs would be on the board when they traded back, but OT and RB ran hard in the 1st.

Classic case of a GM feeling the heat because the 1st round went different then what he expected. i bet if he had it to do all over again he'd of not traded back.

Houston made a mess of their draft.

[BidsJr]

LT Brown?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

NFL Network is reporting that Houston will go with D. Brown, OT, Va Tech

And they do

[LifetimeBillsFan]

The run on O-linemen has continued and can only help the Bills

[Ingtar33]

Philly trades their 4th rounder to the Fins for Lorenzo Booker.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Philly trades a 4th rounder for Lorenzo Booker. Odd move to me, considering how deep this draft class is at RB

[Ebenezer]

first WR right here to SD

[Dr. Lecter]

Booker is a good RB. Good move for Philly.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Schefter is reporting Cason to SD

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Will we trade up?

[Ingtar33]

Antoine Cason CB, to SD

[LifetimeBillsFan]

And, SD takes A. Cason, CB

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Cason

[chubluv]

I guess SD was a threat to take a CB. My bad.

[SeatownBillsFan21]

we should trade up???

[LifetimeBillsFan]

The CBs are starting to come off the board. I wonder if that will start the next run on a position

[kernowboy]

the way the draft is going, it seems to be coming to us

[chubluv]

Why would we move up there are 12 picks before our next and no WR's taken yet. I know once one goes there will be a run on them. If we like 4 or 5 guys that are rated similar I think you stay put and grab the best one available.

[Ingtar33]

Seattle needs a WR, or a TE

Keller/Davis, or trade down coming up. (since it seems no one wants one of these WRs yet)

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Hardy 2nd RD good?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

we should trade up???

No. With what is still on the board, I think we continue to play "chicken" here, figuring that at least one of the big WRs will fall to us or still be there close enough that it won't cost as much to trade up later as it would at this point.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Seattle needs a WR, or a TE

Keller/Davis, or trade down coming up. (since it seems no one wants one of these WRs yet)

Maybe they will take Keller or Balmer

[Ingtar33]

there are a lot of teams at the top of the 2nd round who would jump at a WR.

[Patti120]

No. With what is still on the board, I think we continue to play "chicken" here, figuring that at least one of the big WRs will fall to us or still be there close enough that it won't cost as much to trade up later as it would at this point.

I think your right unless 3 or 4 of the top WR's come off the board in a row somewhere before us.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Seattle takes Lawrence Jackson DE USC

[LtFinFan66]

Seattle takes DE jackson

[Ingtar33]

Seattle takes, Lawrence Jackson... wow. another big reach.

[Dr. Lecter]

Seattle = WTF?????

[chubluv]

I would love too see some of these teams draft boards. It would be cool to see what they really thought going in.

[Dr. Lecter]

San Fran has to take a WR. Don't they?

[Dr. Lecter]

But it might be Desean Jackson.

[Ingtar33]

SF has their pick of Balmer,

we should just wait in the 2nd.

a good WR will reach us.

[LifetimeBillsFan]

SF takes K. Balmer, DT

[Ebenezer]

SF another reach??

[raphael120]

WOW

Were almost guaranteed to get whatever WR we want...

[LtFinFan66]

gotta say Mayock(sp) knows what he is talking about

[Ebenezer]

I would love too see some of these teams draft boards. It would be cool to see what they really thought going in.
I dont think some of them thought.

[Ebenezer]

no WR in round 1??

[chubluv]

2 more picks in the first round. :jig:

[Michael82]

Wow! Could we got into the 2nd round with no WRs off the board???? That's crazy! And great for us.... I love when these teams reach.... :drool:

[Ingtar33]

green bay...

QB or TE

i'll shake that magic 8 ball... and say that they'll take...

TE... Keller probably.

[Dr. Lecter]

It is getting the point it would cost the Bills their first 4th round and a 7th or 6th to move up to the 2nd pick in the 2nd round with STL. If allof the WRs are on the board, I say do it.

[raphael120]

SO what WR are we going to get???? We probably have a choice by the time we pick..

[chubluv]

The Jets moved up. :scared:

[chubluv]

I dont think some of them thought.


:rofl:

[LifetimeBillsFan]

gotta say Mayock(sp) knows what he is talking about

I hate to say it, but his assessments of this draft have been right on in a lot of respects, even if his specific calls in his pre-draft mocks have been off at times

[Ebenezer]

first WR going to the Jets.

[Ingtar33]

oops. jets move up to take a QB is my guess.

this is a finger to Miami i think

[Michael82]

****! Here goes a WR...the Jets traded up. We are going to have to trade up too, IMO .... :nervous:

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Jets on the board now and it cost them their 4th

[LtFinFan66]

oops. jets move up to take a QB is my guess.

this is a finger to Miami i thinkGood, I don't want a QB in the 2nd

[Ingtar33]

the Jets take...

Dustin Keller. the 8 ball was right, only with the wrong team

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Schefter is saying that the pick will be Keller

[Michael82]

It is getting the point it would cost the Bills their first 4th round and a 7th or 6th to move up to the 2nd pick in the 2nd round with STL. If allof the WRs are on the board, I say do it.
I would do that, if it got us Sweed or Kelly.... :drool:

[Dr. Lecter]

****! Here goes a WR...the Jets traded up. We are going to have to trade up too, IMO .... :nervous:

*cough* overreaction *cough*

:D

[Michael82]

Take Brohm....

[Michael82]

*cough* overreaction *cough*

:D
you said we should trade up too. Bite me! :D

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Hey, Ingtar. You were talking about how they never say a black D-lineman has a "high motor". Well, isn't it curious that Devin Thomas has not been invited to the Commish's room to get away from the embarrassment of sitting alone in the "green room" the way Brady Quinn was last year?

[Ingtar33]

Hey, Ingtar. You were talking about how they never say a black D-lineman has a "high motor". Well, isn't it curious that Devin Thomas has not been invited to the Commish's room to get away from the embarrassment of sitting alone in the "green room" the way Brady Quinn was last year?


is he there?

[LifetimeBillsFan]

And, the Jets go with D. Keller

[TigerJ]

Do we get through the entire first round with no WR taken?

[chubluv]

Those Jet fans are crazy.

[raphael120]

wow a lot of WTF moves by teams...glad the bills arent one of them...yet...

[LtFinFan66]

Hey, Ingtar. You were talking about how they never say a black D-lineman has a "high motor". Well, isn't it curious that Devin Thomas has not been invited to the Commish's room to get away from the embarrassment of sitting alone in the "green room" the way Brady Quinn was last year?There were only 6 guys invited to NY from what they said....and they went 1-6:idunno:

[LifetimeBillsFan]

Do the Giants go LB or take Merling?

[chubluv]

Is Devin Thomas in NYC?
