The official 2009 DRAFT thread

[cpk1994]

When you are creating the foundation, multiple picks is the way to go.
When you believe you are solid, it's time to get the players you feel are special fits for your team.
It's funny how some folks who have whined the 'turtle' nonsense for so long, and lambasted Thompson for not moving up, now have reversed field and complain about him making a move upwards.
Personally, I love both picks, and applaud the Packers for shrewd planning and the courage to go after players they want.

such a simpleton view while ignoring what he gave up to move up

I'm fully on board to give up fair value to move up; I'm fine with Matthews and think he can move in a start right away.

If Matthews is a Pro Bowler this still turns out fine

But on paper Bellichek fleeced your hero

You can't really say that until you see what the Bellicheck gets for those picks. ALso, if you feel thereis nothing in the middle rounds worth the picks, you trade up and get a guy you really want. I agree with Shadow. IF Matthews turns out to be a pro bowler, tghen it doesn't mean shit what the trade looks like on paper.

Broncos trade up.....Seahawks off the board.

Seems excited. Said he was going over to A.J.'s place.

[packers11]

E. Brown or Maulaluga will be taken by Broncos...

Lions take Louis Delmas


Is anybody reading the crap I'm cutting and pasting..? If not I'll save myself some time.....


Lions need defense bad.

I am but if it's only me feel free to stop.

In a perfect world, Breno Giacomini steps in for Tauscher at RT, and we get Vonnie Holliday for cheap to fill in as a wave player at DE. Waddya think?

That'd be fine, but we have other options at RT. Colledge, Sitton, Moll, Giacomini, and Barbre all have a shot at RT.

Colledge won't go to RT, per McCarthy. Sitton will be at RG. Barbre, Moll, and Giacomini are battling for the job if we don't bring in anyone new.

re: Mathews

Not a guy I know much about. Part of a great USC LB corps, but was there one guy in that group that made everyone else look better? I saw where Mathews only had 10 starts, but I don't know if he got a lot of snaps as a backup...

Just like Ted fleeed Belichek in 2006 trading down for Jennings while Bill selected Chad Jackson.

Well, we now have A.J. and B.J. Any prospects named C.J.?

The typical anti-Ted treacle.
He's wrong if he doesn't draft your man-crush.
He's wrong if he doesn't move up.
He's wrong if he does move up.
Back to the Cheetos (and maybe a spoonful of Metamucil).

What happens if he gets a little tipsy, and Laura starts lookin' real good?

Horrible trade by Denver imo.
