2006 nfl draft tell me what you think

sound off guys/girls i want to know what you think about this years nfl draft. here are a few of the things i think about this draft.

Houston: we have a problem. how the hell did they pass up on reggie bush? the last 5 defensive linemen to be taken #1 overall have been busts.

Tennessee: Young is a great athlete but not a quarterback. bad decision. should have gone with Leinhart. Lendale White was a good choice though

Arizona: Wow. Leinhart, James, Fitzgeralt, Boldin, Pope. Arizona fans have to be singing praises to the God of professional sports right now.

Denver: well we trade last years 1st rounder to washington and they pick a quarterback. Campbell out of Aubern. we use that and some other trades to get Cutler this year. i wonder who the better QB is. we needed javon walker. and is tatem bell really our everydown back? what does shanahan know?

You will be amazed by Vernon Davis.

Cutler was a great choice for Denver. I think Philly needs to pick up a QB next year.

Which part? Philly will need to replace McNabb shortly, he gets injured too much and he has consistently gone downhill since he started avoiding the scramble. He had a decent year in 2004, but who wouldn't given the cake schedule they had against a shitty NFC East that is no longer shitty?

Prior to last year even when he was injured for an extended period of time, they made the NFC championship game. What the Eagles really need is a RB that can run between the tackles. Brian Westbrook can't. Donovan has many years left to play, and Andy Reid insured he'll be safe for the next few by drafting one of the most athletic offensive lineman in the draft. The only reason he avoided the scramble this year was a little something called a sports hernia...

I was happy with Seattle's draft. They needed a good corner and DE. If you consider Nate Burleson as a "pick" it looks even better. (They gave up their third for him)

The punter from Wake Forest will be nice too, Seattle's current punter sucks.

Donovan is a great athlete, if he can somehow do the pocket thing he has been trying to do while not abandoning the run altogether he would be incredible. He has yet to combine the 2 yet, though.

They made the NFC championship game because the NFC East sucked. They would have never made the playoffs that year had this year's NFC East been in the mix.

Last year there was no threat of him taking off and running, so teams could play an extra guy back therefore thwarting any chance Philly had for a passing attack. I'm happy with the WR they picked up out of Colorado though. I can't think of his name, but he was an olympic downhill skier, and is pure speed.

I thought Green Bay had a good draft. You gotta like AJ Hawk's ability. Maybe 8-8 isn't too far-fetched.

Is it? You are a fool. We need to get someone in there to start learning the offense. McNabb won't be there forever. I mean when is it time to start looking for a new QB to take his place? You should rethink what you said. Its ok to be wrong sometimes.

Tim Ruskell is the GM. I assume Holmgren is there, but Ruskell makes the final call.

Thanks. Green Bay hired Ted Thompson from Seattle and I didn't know who replaced him.

As for Thompson, I thought his most pronounced quality before the draft was that he looked like an ax murderer. Now after the draft, he looks like he knows what he's doing.

Arizona definitely had one of the better pick ups in Leinart, but I don't think Pope is going to be as good as people think. He did worse on his Wonderlic test than Vince. We'll see.

I think Carolina had a good productive draft. DeAngelo Williams will be a great compliment to DeShaun Foster. Their defense continues to get better and will dominate once again this year with their draft picks.

I don't think they are overrated, they still aren't very good, but they are no longer the worst. That is either the AFC East (Minus the Pats, but maybe not minus them this year) or the NFC West (Minus Seattle).

Sometimes it makes me sad to be an Eagles fan, because the majority are ignorant fools such as yourself. You are probaly one of the many that would chant AJ FEELY, when Donovan threw a pick, am I right? Look where he is now....

There is a damn good reason they don't run the ball. THEY DON'T HAVE A RUNNING BACK. So 5 positions? RB for one, OLB, DT, WR, and FB. Any other questions?

thanks for getting back to the topic of sports. and with injuries and such it makes a lot of sense to always have a viable backup QB. that shouldnt mean you go looking for your backup when you have so many holes in other places. try getting good players so your starting QB doesnt have to do everything and can stay healthy longer. i like how the eagles took that kid Bloom. ill be interested to see if he can perform in the NFL

I think there are few teams that should be commended for their picks.

First off, the Titans had the best DRAFT out of any of the AFC teams. They got not only VINCE YOUNG (who'll replace McNair) but LENDALE WHITE. Screw Lendale's hammy and screw Vince's release. What were the other teams THINKING when they let Lendale drop to the secound round? These two guys are beasts and within a year or two, they will be running circles around, or in Lendale's case, running through, opponents.

But besides the Titans, here are the other teams that are on my respect list:

Cardinals -- Leinhart (apprentice to Kurt next year), Pope (is a beast). Arizona WILL BE the most dynamic offensive team in the league once Leinhart starts at QB...they only need help with their defense

Falcons -- trade for Abraham, steal Jimmy Williams...in two years, they've gone from offensive powerhouse to defensive powerhouse. ddaaaamn.

Packers -- they used the draft to fill up their every weakness in their defense. they also traded away j. walker who was a little bitch. even though they had a good draft, i dont think they will do well next year with favre as qb. he's past his prime.

49ers - v davis.

Westbrook is an awesome RB. He's great for the Eagles. FB for what? The one passing play we have for a FB. I agree with you on some of them. We'll see how well this guy we picked up performs. Hopefully he doesnt' turn out to be another McDougle. Whats up with Walker? Again I dont think we should get a RB in the draft next year. RB's are a dime a dozen. I hate when teams waste all their money on a RB and he goes and gets injured. That would suck for the Eagles. We'll see what happens this season.

We need a RB that can carry the ball 20-30 times a game when needed, and we need a FB to block for that back. I never said anything about drafting a RB, just that there are many positions that need to be looked before QB's. Donovan is working his ass off to get back into shape, and to command the respect of the players that fell off his bandwagon during the whole T.O. issue. The last thing they need is a QB controversy...

Another injury year that is.... And for the record the injury he suffered in 2005 was from a freak, illegal hit. Donovan is far from injury prone, so my bets are on him having a great year.

injury or no, without TO he has never been a 60% completion guy and i dont think anything is going to change now. im betting his stats are going to be lower than they were 2 seasons ago, and lots of people are going to be none too happy about it

Best thing said in this thread. Only time will tell, but I think AJ WILL be the real deal. He is smart, fast, strong, and has great natural ability.

...plus, he looks like Cameron Diaz.

Didn't the Packers also draft another outside linebacker to play opposite AJ?

That was good. I never noticed before, but he DOES look like Cameron Diaz... her brother anyway.
