NFL Draft 2008
    #8328208 -

YES, i am one of those dorky fans who gets hyped up for draft day. I always have.



This year again, you never know whose going to be a stud or a dud, but it's fun to project.



I don't think McFadden is going to be as great as everyone has him. I think alot of his hype is a result of Adrian Peterson taking the NFL by storm.



Chris Long, really impresses me as a DE. What a beast. And you KNOW he's got the genes to succeed in the NFL.




Now for the Steelers what i'd like to see in the first two rounds:

O-line. A strong stallwart run-blocker, to complement Kendall Simmons or Marvel Smith.

I'd also like to see a strong pass-rushing DE, something that the steelers haven't done much with since drafting Aaron Smith.


In the second round, it would be nice to see the team pick up a big-bodied WR or cover CB. Although this year, not much depth of talent at WR.



But i'm hearing lots of rumors that they're going to pick up Jonathan Stewart from Oregon. That would be an interesting complement to Willie Parker.

I haven't really been too into it this year. Couldn't find any draft mags and lost interest.

yeah it's tough really


many years if i'm not up to date with all the happenings in college football, it's hard to really understand and know what to expect from the draft.



This so happens to be one of the years where i do follow many prospects through their college season going into the pros.



It's exciting when you watch someone play and you KNOW they're going to make it huge.

Like watchin Plaxico Burress play at MSU, making it all look like kid's play.

Ive got my beer ready for today and tomorrow. This is really the first year I followed college pretty closely. As a Charger fan I get worried despite AJ Smiths record on trades and draft picks... it wasnt too long ago that we took Ryan Leaf. I know AJ Smith wasnt the GM at the time but it still leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

San Diego has a lot of depth as it is so I am thinking we should pick up a right tackle, a power running back (Jacob Hester?) or maybe another CB (I really like Brandon Flowers for round 1). To be honest though I am not sure if a round 1 pick even benefits us that much. Seems like with the depth we have it may just waste our money.

Maybe AJ has a deal in the works to trade the pick for some 2nd or third round picks.

I thought the Raiders made a bad decision with McFadden. With the running game they have now they dont really need a guy to carry every down. Their current system works well for split backs and specifically the guys they already have. But, I guess that is how the draft works. We will see how things pan out for them.

I can't think of many scenarios in which having McFadden in your offense would be a bad thing.

When you have bigger possitions of need with a system that doesnt require an every down back. McFadden is good but they didnt need a running back. They played the "best available player" card which only works sometimes. My guess is with the amount of money they have spent already they will end up trading McFadden or cutting some other key players.

well, it's hard to kind of look at



i mean, the other really glaring major needs for the Raiders are at OL and WR, which i think, were kind of lower on people's rankings at that point in the draft.


Al Davis, he just does crazy shit. Raiders have always been known for making ballsey moves with the draft. Sometimes it doesn't work (Robert Gallery) and sometimes it does (Bo Jackson).


But yeah, filling in another RB, considering LaMont Jordan and Fargas are still there, may have been a stretch.


Either way, it's going to be interesting watching the Raiders next year.

They could always trade Fargas or Jordan for a WR.

Yesterday's picks were nice, but surprising for the Steelers.


Rashard Mendenhall, nobody thought he'd drop that far.

It's not really the most GLARING need for the steelers, having a complement to Parker. But then why would they sign Mewelde Moore?


Mendenhall's a stud though, and i understand how teams may have felt with that guy dropping that far.



Second round, Sweed, was a solid pick. I was hoping for Malcolm Kelly, mother fucking Redskins took him one pick above Pittsburgh.

But Sweed will fit in. It was smart not to pick up WR's till the 2nd round for teams that needed WR's.


It's not like pittsburgh needs an all-star tall WR like back when they drafted Burress (at the time the only starting WR was Hines Ward, Troy Edwards had left after his mediocre run). They just need a tall guy to catch balls in the end zone or on the outside.


Still very interesting. I thought at one point in the draft Colbert would go after a DE. But then i guess DE's playing in a 3-4 don't have to be sack-grabbing studs.

I liked the Stealers selections overall. I too questioned Mendenhall but why not take him with him falling that far. I dont think they will use him much but he isnt bad to have as a backup. Dixon... not sure where that came from but we'll see.

As for my Chargers... I dont know why we took a second CB in round 6. I think Hester was our best pickup in this draft due to how well rounded he is. Definately a power back that can fill in the Turner short yadage role.
