Official 2007 Live Draft Thread

First of all, you need a lesson in manners son. You don't call someone an idiot because they don't agree with you.

Then what in the hell do you call your criticism of Thompson?

Pathetic hypocrite.

Do you ever read anything in context or do you just make shit up as you go along?

i cant wait to bump this thread in week 9 of the season.........

I am still waiting for last years thread to be bumped where people said Barnett sucks, Hawk is God and Hodge is our new MLB.

I defended that and I was right.

Shut the hell up.

You tell ME to get manners when YOU lambast Thompson as being a mediocre...and therefore idiotic...GM because he did not select Brady Quinn as the BPA because that was YOUR opinion of who was BPA.

That is hilarious.

Wow...I just got home and I'm ready for bed. I listened to Rounds 2 and 3 on Sirius Radio. TT really sucked today. Green Bay may have had the worst draft out of any team in the league today. If we don't land Moss tomorrow....or in the next few days....I'll hate TT forever.

I don't know. I thought the second and third round picks were pretty dissapointing.

Then again, our last back from Nebraska worked out pretty well. He was a third round pick, and I think we might have reached on Jackson a little, so maybe he should have been a third round pick as well. Hopefully, it works out just as well!

First round pick was very solid. He will be a very good player. He may not fill a position of need, but if you've ever seen the Jacksonville Jaguars play you will understand the benefit of a stud DT. This guy will be good. He is quick enough to penetrate and get sacks, but also big enough to hold the point of attack. I am pretty happy with this guy. If he played this year he probably would have gone top 5 (would have gone 2nd DT behind Claude Wroten had he come out).

I don't really like the Rover. Perhaps if they have him bulk up and play SLB. He'll be good enough in coverage to be an SLB and very fast. I am skeptical to say the least.

The receiver guy I have no idea about.

For what it's worth word was Denver wanted this guy

And for the record I wanted TT to trade down and pick up a WR; I have no idea how good Harrell will be and I'm taking a wait and see approach on him.

[packers11]

What time does round 4 start....

12 est?

[Charles Woodson]

i cant wait to bump this thread in week 9 of the season.........

haha, yup, should be interesting how everyone turns out

[Bretsky]

I have no strong view on round one
I like the round two pick
I'm concerned we reached for the WR
I like the S

For those of you who are defending TT's selections, did you defend Sherman when he made his? Or did you bash him? Because in my mind, TT is not having a good day 1 because of his #1 pick. Jamal Renolds anyone?

Comparing an undersized defensive end not known for his toughness and form, to a supersized, tough player who has such good form florida had to double team him even he had only one functioning arm?

That wasn't the point. The point is TT didn't go BPA and everyone was all over Sherman for his drafting but TT get's a pass?

If its any consolation I thought he should have taken Quinn, too. However, I don't think this guy will be bad. I actually think he could turn out to be a steal. I think Quinn is a steal as well.

I don't argue that the guy is bad. My argument is that he isn't a first round talent. He will now be paid as a first rounder and to be honest I think they guy is a reach. If he comes back healthy, he has some potential. His impact though will be minimal because we already have a decent DL. He may make it better, he may not.

What if he performs like another Tennessee DT named John Henderson? He is a little shorter, but he has long arms and a big bubble. He'll be a good player. Definitely will walk in as a starter.

See the thing thats interesting to me is that its wasnt just TT that wanted this guy, i mean there are at least 6 other teams that were interested in him, i could understand if TT was the only guy who wanted him but i mean im starting to think that hes not so bad after all

Make me shut up. The only people that can do that here are the moderators and that isn't you. If they ban me or whatever so be it. I don't have to take any crap from you. Unless you want to bring your big mouth up here and take me out I suggest you learn how to talk to people. It isn't only MY opinion, it is the opinion of many many many people. TT is a public figure and therefore it is common place for people to express their like or dislike. You don't walk up to someone you don't know and call them an idiot because they don't agree with you. There is a difference, it's called context. Look it up.

Source? I am not skeptical I am just looking for literature.

[Lurker64]

Hey, can we stop calling each other names? There's no reason to get mad at each other. None of us drafted anybody today.

[The Leaper]

I'm still waiting to hear how we can draft Brady Quinn at #16 and not have three starting QB contracts on the roster.

21 teams didn't want Quinn...it isn't like we are going to get our value back on him in a trade.

Rodgers carries too high a cap number at this point to write off and trade.

Dumping Favre would be far more foolish than any of Thompson's draft choices.
