Your 2008 NFL Draft LIVE Thread! [Day Two]

[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.

Damn. Colts snag Marcus Howard.

I am joining a little late. I will stay with todays moves so far.

I like the Molden pick. I might have been tempted to go Zuttah, but I believe we have the OL pieces in place and this would not be a big value.

Yes Slaton give you homerun ability, but he has to be able to get on the field. With Kubiak that means be a complete back. He will be asked top block and I have my doubts about him doing that. Also I forget the last time Kubiak used a 3rd down back, maybe that is because he does not use one. Unless Slaton become a KR, I do not see him helping much.

Adibi, a value pick, he was projected to be a 2nd rounder after the season. I liked the the kid from Kentucky as this kind of player better. And I would have been all over Choice, oh wait, be took Slaton already.

5th round, Okam? Did I just listen to an interview on the radio with Coach Franklin?

In that interview he talks about the team is not looking for an anchor, they are looking for a sideline to sideline guy. So what is this pick? I would have been all over Ruebens, but he is still undrafted so what do I know. Maybe KUbiak and company can motivate Okam to become the player he was early in his college career.

BTW I have been impressed with the Titans draft so far.

Our other bonus pick from the trade down is about 15-20 minutes away.

And, yes, I'd love a sleeper RB although I'm guessing WR depth or a big ugly for this pick.

Maybe a DE?

same here on the rb, obviously. as for wr depth, i would be happy if they went through the entire draft without taking a wr. we have 4 that i feel comfortable with. AJ getting injured last season may end up being a long term blessing given that it allowed some of our others to get some solid experience.

Thomas Brown just went to the Falcons.

We're on the clock...

Dominique Barber, S, Minnesota.

The skinny: Marion Barber III's brother. Good athlete who doesn't translate into a good playmaker. Not the hitter to be a SS but good in coverage and occasional blitzer. Special teams prospect. Has blocked kicks.
