Official 2007 Live Draft Thread

I love how fans forget what a player has contributed. Heron has done what? Stepped up every time we asked him to, that's all. Pedestrian, maybe. Johnson hasn't even taken a snap in the NFL and you think he's automatically better. Nice logic.

one game. he's the standard just a guy. If a 2nd rounder is not better than it was a very bad pick.

Heron has played more then one game. He has shown he can be a good relief back. When you run a scheme of RB by committee, Heron fits that nicely. Johnson was a good pick but just because he was taken in the 2nd round doesn't mean he is automatically better. If that's the logic you are using then isn't Rodgers automatically better then Favre because he was taken in the 1st and Favre in the 2nd? This is just the same argument I have with people last year over Hawk vs. Barnett. I am not going there.

What kind of talent do you really think Herron has ? I can't believe we're even debating this. He looked solid in one game and was undrafted. He doesn't have a lot of ability. This has nothing to do with Rodgers/Favre.....Hawk/Barnett

Noah Herron just isn't that good.

And a guy who has never taken a snap in the NFL is? Same argument.

That was a nice story on Rouse on youtube. Thompson sure seems to bring in guys who are gratefull to be there and hard workers. It's nice. Oh yeah, they're tough football players too.

I'm glad that TT is taking high character guys with a good head on their shoulders. Talent only gets you so far.

2. JUSTIN HARRELL (most had him 3rd)

I was burned at the stake for saying he was a 3rd rounder so you must be mistaken when you say that most had him in the 3rd.

"Most had him 3rd" as in "Most had him as the 3rd best DT overall."

But the entire NFL seemed to not be that big on Branch, so again the "experts" fail us.

Most had him as the 3rd best DT PERIOD...

Not 3rd rounder.

Thanks!

Talent only gets you so far??? I'd say character only gets you so far. Talent is by far more important. (otherwise why would everyone be clamoring for Moss)

[ahaha]

What happened with that New England pick? They traded to the Raiders, I thought for sure that was a Moss deal. ESPN hasn't said anything about it though.

When New England was on the clock with their 3rd round pick, it came up with a trade update. It then showed Oakland with the pick. They immediately took some guard, right before Trent Edwards was picked. I'm watching ESPN.

Then there aren't very many healthy good DT's this year I am guessing.

Gary and Cliff had several mock writers for CBS Sportsline, etc yesterday, and he was their surprise top 20 pick by more than one guy. If he turns out to be a John Henderson, you'll all be loving TT.

I don't know how good these experts are if they think a guy he is injured and out basically the whole 2006 season is the 3rd best in college football. You would think that there would be many players ahead of him because he didn't really play and had a serious injury. Also, it appears that he hasn't even played a full season in college football. So because he is a 1st rounder and now in the NFL he will be healthy and never miss a game and be a monster?

WOW...and you think me saying he was a 3rd round pick was wrong?

Talent is obviously more important, but look at the Vicks, the Jones', the Owens', etc. They all have talent, but character gets in their way. Am I saying that all of TT's picks will be Pro-Bowlers because they are good kids? Of course not. However, having good character helps a lot.

The experts are going to be wrong, wrong, wrong on Branch. He will thrive in the desert.

I kind of wished GB would've taken a chance and drafted either Pittman, Trent Edwards, or Michael Bush. Maybe they will tomorrow. Also, didn't most of the "experts" think Edwards was going the be the third qb taken?

[ahaha]

ESPN's draft number is different than the NFL.com DraftTracker. The draftracker is missing one.

At best, Oakland will get a 4th for Moss. He may be released. I wouldn't call that clamoring.

Is Stanton still on the board? A lot of people picked him to be a dark horse.

Have they said what the Raiders gave NE for the pick yet?
