Your 2008 NFL Draft LIVE Thread! [Day Two]

[Roy P]

I was thinking we could wait on Tashard Choice or even later to get Thomas Brown or Jalen Parmele. Slaton is a 3rd down - change of pace back.

[Roy P]

Dre Moore and Q. Demps are off the board.

I like Marcus Howard, DeMario Pressley, Bryan Kehl, Ben Moffitt, Paul Hubbard, Stanford Kegler, or Wesley Woodyard.

Xavier Adibi, I've forgotten he was still on the board... great value pick!

Xavier Adibi, nice pick. I really like the value in the fourth

[Roy P]

Coming up at #151 would have been QB Josh Johnson if we had traded Sage.
I'm intrigued with RG Donald Thomas, DT DeMario Pressley, and DT Nick Hayden. However, the need for a DE to play opposite Mario might be too much to pass on. Brian Johnston, Chris Harrington, and Trevor Scott are valid considerations.

[Roy P]

I took Adibi off my board after he ran a 4.69. If I wanted a small, fast, swarmer to play coverage then Kegler or Woodyard would have been better options. It looks like we'll get to see Kegler twice a year when we play the Titans.

Booty will be starting in Minnesota next season.

On the clock....tick tick tick.

Frank Okam, DT, Longhorns!

Great value at this stage. Definite boom or bust guy.
Looked unstoppable his first two years, got his knee scoped I believe and has not been the same since. Great character. Hopes to be a doctor someday. He's a good gamble for this part of the draft. If somebody pushes him, he could be special again. Outstanding quickness for a big man.

You got a lag in your radio feed? Frank Okam, DT, Texas.

This will make a lot of people very happy.

As a rotational player, Okam could prove to be very effective. The beef with him was that he lacked that non-stop motor. Maybe if he was used in rotation, his conditioning won't be such an issue.

This will be deemed as a good value pick, for sure. I like it, get some size in the middle. The Texans seemed to play a little small sometimes against the run, getting pushed up the middle. Maybe Okam fixes some of that.

[HPF Bob]

A lag in my ESPN draft ticker, to be more precise.

And note that we took the Texas guy only after the Broncos snagged the DT from Virginia Tech...

IIRC, Okam is from Alief.
