Official 2008 NFL Draft thread Day 2

Wow, Brwons gave up a 3 next year to get Rucker...Cowboys kinda fleeced them.

Yup; ditto on the Brady Quinn deal last year as well

[Gunakor]

we have 2 more 4th round picks and one 7th round pick.
my guess is TT goes OL next

He's probably looking for trade down partners

Draft IKE in round 7 !!

I'd take a chance on him in round 7. He certainly can't be any worse than around 25 or so other 7th round picks who won't even make thier team.

[Tarlam!]

jeez you guys, can't even take a potty break here and you guys got 2-3 pages ahead. :P

Fill your empties at the computer.

Just drink from the cold ones not the warm ones.

Ewww!!!

:P

Seven, you are such a girl. I sent Carin home at 9:30 this morning so I wouldn't be pestered by girly questions, like "What is a WR?"

Jets take CB Lowrey:

Strengths: Changes directions fairly well, shows adequate burst coming out of cuts and has decent short-area man-to-man cover skills. Shows good awareness in space and can hold up well when in zone or man-cushion coverage. Reads quarterbacks' eyes well and will get a consistently good jump on the ball. Displays exceptional instincts, has great ball skills and a playmaker. Closes quickly on the ball in front of him and aggressively attacks the ball in the air. Uses good leverage and shows good burst out of back pedal. Has above-average leaping ability, does a good job of timing his jumps and competes for jump balls.

Weaknesses: Only two full seasons at DI-A level prior, doesn't match up against top wide receiver talent in the WAC and there is some concern about ability to adjust to the speed of the game at the NFL level. Doesn't have prototypical top-end speed and is going to have a much harder time turning and running with receivers at the NFL level. Upper body strength is marginal, doesn't deliver a powerful punch and doesn't reroute receivers at the line. Bulk is adequate but can get pushed around and could stand to get a bit bigger. Effort in run support is only decent. Struggles to get off of blocks and is a drag-down tackler that can have problems bringing stronger runners to the ground. Missed five games with a hand injury in 2005, fractured jaw during 207 spring practices and durability is a concern.

Overall: Lowery attended Cabrillo CC (Aptos, Calif.) in 2004 and 2005, appearing in 15 games (all starts) and collecting 95 tackles, 13 interceptions (two of which he returned for touchdowns), seven pass breakups and two blocked kicks. He also averaged 30.0 yards and had a score on 10 kickoff returns, and ran back his only punt return 18 yards for a TD during that period. Lowery transferred to San Jose State in 2006 and started all 13 games for the Spartans in his first season, recording 48 tackles, nine interceptions and seven pass breakups. As a senior in 2007, he started all 12 games and had 44 tackles, four interceptions and seven pass breakups. He also had 24 punt returns for 315 yards (13.1 average) and a touchdown in two years at San Jose State. In '05, Lowery missed the Seahawks' last five games because of a hand injury. In '07 he suffered a fractured jaw in the spring and had his mouth wired shut for seven weeks. Lowery is a proven playmaker with the size, instincts and ball skills to develop into a starting cornerback for a team that plays primarily in zone coverage. However, he doesn't have great top-end speed and he has against premiere collegiate receivers on a weekly basis so transitioning to the NFL could prove difficult.

He will not play in 08; but he'll be back in 09. IMO he's a second round pick when healthy. But he had a nasty nasty tear. Worth a shot in round 7. Pay for his surgery, and monitor his entire rehab process.

isn't it likely that he won't get drafted and we could sign him without using a 7th on him?

[GrnBay007]

I missed that last part about how the Packers got that last pick. Did anyone figure it out....did he trade up?

Then anyone can sign him, if you want him, take him. That those 7th rounders are for.
