The official 2009 DRAFT thread

WOW

BILL BELLICHECK


THANK YOU FOR FLEECING US

I applaud TT for doing whatever it took to get the player he wants. Kudos!

That's what I am thinking too. We KNOW that TT would not trade all that if he isn't high on this guy. TT must know something about Matthews.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I don't like trading up, so I don't like this. I say a big screw you to all of those that have been hammering Ted Thompson for not trading up.

[Guiness]

um, wow?

Has TT ever done anything REMOTELY like that before?

NFLN said it was a 5 coming back.....

Why do you think Ted Thompson disagrees with me about the quality of this draft?

Posted this in the Raji thread by accident, meant it to be here...


----------------------

ok, so I'm looking at the picks already made...and here are a few thoughts:

Poor Stafford. You just have to think he won't survive there. His rookie deal will be nice, and maybe he can play sax to back up Joey in his current career as a jazz pianist.

Tyson Jackson all the way up at #3? Wow, did ANYONE call that? Kudos Waldo for trumpeting him.

Jets can't be happy with the way the Favre thing played out. Lose a high second for a one year rental, and now spend a top 5 to replace him.

DHB before Crabtree...have to wonder why. The foot?

Larry English in the top half of the first. I didn't see anything that predicted that. Listed as a DE as well? That he went before Mathews and Maualuga is surprising.

Forum choice, Oher, at 23. And listed as a guard. We'll see.

[Charles Woodson]

with our picks, the pats have 4 2nd round picks, and 4 thirds

[Fosco33]

clay matthews - nickle linebacker and st-er.

[retailguy]

um, wow?

Nope. Not even close.

Trade ups are ok but this was a rather large jump.....I usually wouldn't go for that.

[Bretsky]

Is Clay Matthews a star ?

Maybe he is but I thought he was a solid 2nd rounder

[mission]

Cushing is the guy suspected of being on roids... just look at his face structure, definitely something going on there.

Roids don't change the shape of your skull, dude

He's just an ugly mug. He's probably on the roids, though.

I don't know the names of all this shit but there are certain drugs you take between cycles to help with the whole process. Helps you cycle down/off/ etc... Im sure other guys know the specifics more.

Anyway, same shit that trannies take to gain breast growth and promote feminine features. Just different doses. Look it up.

im going to chalk this one up to the fact that TT knows way more then me

If anything, I think this confirms this, Harv. He doesn't see the depth so he's trading up to get a good player.

What do you think of Matthews? I like the player a lot, but I wonder if we couldn't have gotten better value by waiting and seeing who fell to us.

Matthews looks good on paper. Nice numbers. Unsure about Matthews physicality though. Preferred Barwin.

Must trust TT and Capers on this one. TT must also feel confident about players in the later rounds.

So much for Poppinga, Chillar, Thompson and Hunter.
