The official 2009 Day Two DRAFT thread

[HarveyWallbangers]

Vikings take Jasper Brinkley.

Not a bad value.

good pick there

You make me want to puke. I think you've said this after every Vikings pick in the 4-5 years I've known you.

I'm guessing it's better to lie and disparage the pick? :P

I don't lie. He's always sucking up to the Bears, Lions, and Vikings picks at draft time. I think he's just built that way.

Power on initial contact

In other words, punch you in the mouth. I'm likin this whole draft right now. Really liking these guys. At some point they're going to have to be shitty. FB's you can get later OL you can get in middle rounds. At some point it's going to have to jsut turn into flyers.

[cpk1994]

Middle of the 5th round and TT hasn't traded down once.

[Rastak]

Sheep, it seems simple me.


You don't draft Michael Hawkins 1st overall just because it's a god damned crapshoot.

There are safe picks and not so safe picks. Yes, anyone can bust but where you are drafted determines how much you get paid.

Vikings took a chance in the first round because they felt the upside was worth the risk. Rounds 5-7 it makes more sense to take guys who have bigger question marks or guys you hope to develop.

You make it sound like 1st round picks = 7th round picks as far as risk and the draft being a crapshoot. That sounds moronic.

or it might be RB Ringer

He must really like the guys that he is picking this year and wants to get them. I've also been thinking that maybe TT knows if he doesn't produce this year that he is gone.

Haha. I agree. Every Packer pick tends to be the whole eey'ore, we coulda done something better. (except these last couple which are really out of character).

Everything the Vikings do it's almost like he wishes he was a Viking fan


Get'ya nose outta the Vikings butt's. That is not a cheerleader. Rastak is a dude.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Sheep, it seems simple me.

I agree with you on this one.

[Lurker64]

Eh, it's draft day. Virtually every pick that isn't batshit insane is something you should feel optimistic about.

[Fosco33]

bears got freeman - osu lb (2nd all team big 10). I think Hunter Hillenmeyer is on his way out (my coworker is his cousin - says it's about that time).

WE talked about this before the draft. There are less holes on this team for prospects. Instead of trading back, it's been theorized by many (and hinted to by TT before the draft) that Ted would sit tight and take the guy he needs more rather than moving back and taking whoevers left. Ted said there was a point of diminishing returns with drafting a dozen players. I predicted before this draft that you would see less trade downs and it has nothing to do with Ted worrying about his job. These guys are ROOKIES. They're not going to dramatically effect our season. The other 45 guys that are ready to play are going to determine this year. If Ted is ajusting his whole draft logic in the 5th round so he can get a player that is going to change his fate, he's a retard.

In other words any pick not made by Al Davis.

So the Lions didnt take a chance with Stafford and somehow TT, McKensie and the rest only scout 150 or so guys? You "take a chance" every round. Some are most costly than others, none of the misses are very pleasant for any of us.

THAT is 100% true.

[channtheman]

Yeah, basically every fan that isn't a Raiders fan should be feeling optimistic around draft day.
