That's a good deal considering the guys we really wanted weren't there.

Not bad. wish we could have gotten a #2 somehow...

Ravens take Flacco while ESPN's bloggers thought it would be Henne

So that means we have two more picks for tomorrow and still have Sage.

In quickie math, that's a trade down of 8 spots for a low third and a fifth.

Edit: It's a third and a sixth (to make up for the Myers pick).

I'm betting Mendenhall goes in the next three picks. No way Dallas is going to pass him up.

You don't suppose Kubiak is eyeing Felix Jones, do you?

Lotsa trade action today. I have a feeling the Texans will be moving into the 2nd Rd. one way or another. Maybe even trading #26 and moving down again.

Watch frickin Tennessee take him just for spite - even though they don't need him! A-holes!

Wouldn't shock me if Seattle swopped in and got him here.

HPF Bob · #49 04-26-2008, 05:34 PM

I don't know which is more surprising... that Sam Baker was chosen at that point in the draft or that the Falcons *traded up* to take Sam Baker at that point in the draft.

HPF Bob · #50 04-26-2008, 05:41 PM

Jerah picks the Hog. Mendenhall is STILL on the board.

popanot · #51 04-26-2008, 05:42 PM

Alright, no way Seattle passes up on Mendenhall... I say we package #26 and a #4 to trade up with the Steelers.

Pick is in... I guess that isn't happening.

EDIT: Mendenhall to the Steelres??? Could something be cooking here???

HPF Bob · #52 04-26-2008, 05:45 PM

There he goes to the Steelers. Smart pick by them. Willie Parker got hurt during the playoffs and who knows how well Parker will bounce back.

The Steelers really wanted an OL but I'm sure they were happy to see this fall in their laps.

HPF Bob · #53 04-26-2008, 05:47 PM

Time for the Thumbtacks and I'm guessing Limas Sweed here.

Wrong again. RB Chris Johnson.

HPF Bob · #54 04-26-2008, 05:53 PM

We can now have either Jenkins or Cason here as well as the addition of two draft picks for trading down, me likey.

Of course, Smith and Kubiak never take who I think they will.

From ESPN.com's blog...

Quote:

Is it too late for Al Davis to rescind his selection of Darren McFadden? In a conference call with reports Saturday, McFadden was asked what team he rooted for as a child. His was enough make his new employer lose his lunch.

"I was a Broncos fan," McFadden said.

Thanks for the honesty, Darren. But you may never want to admit that again.

Reminds me of when the Broncos drafted Tatum Bell a few years ago and at the presser he said his only demand was that he wanted to wear the same #7 he wore in college.

Um, sorry Tatum. That one's retired...
