Just talked to my buddy who is a scout for the Packers...

They're going through players and are on the "M"s and said that Dajuan is their top safety on the board and they were nuts on him...definitely putting him in the first round. They've got the 30th pick and would grab him if he was still there.

Said they have Rumph and Pressley rated as free agents.

2/8/2008 3:46:01 PM

heck yeah for dajuan!

^^Pressley a free agent?

really?

I guess his injuries have knocked his stock down a lot

2/15/2008 9:45:22 AM

^^^yeh, mock draft i saw had him (morgan) going around the 15th-20th pick of round 2

2/15/2008 9:58:22 AM

Blackman not invited to the combine. This kinda sucks....after his performance in that senior game I thought he would have been a lock for an invite. He could have had some good combine numbers and gotten picked up in one of the later rounds. That being said, you still have a small chance of being drafted if you aren't invited to the combine...but it sure doesn't help.

I can definitely see him getting picked up as a free agent return specialist.

2/19/2008 1:59:22 PM

I think he gets picked up without even going to the combine

he'd do one heck of a job at KR, he's the new age Hester babyyyyyy
ok maybe not, but still

2/19/2008 2:03:11 PM

^^ this is kinda irrelevant and probably already mentioned somewhere but blackman is just nasty on ncaa2008. dude is carrying my whole team (besides brown)

the nfl coaches should take a look at that before draft day

2/19/2008 6:08:16 PM

Saw one mock where mcfadden dropped to the jets at #6. And I lol'ed.

But now that ive said that in writing, itll happen

I can't see him getting past the raiders and the falcons.

2/20/2008 8:19:32 AM

Just a couple notable combine 40 times:

Dexter Jackson WR App St. 4.27
McFadden RB ARK 4.27
Chris Johnson RB ECU 4.29
Mendenhall RB ILL 4.37

2/24/2008 3:11:07 PM

my mock draft v2 coming this evening

2/24/2008 3:22:59 PM

I cannot fucking believe Wilbon said "Chris Long is the best D-lineman to come out of college in the last 25 years."

2/24/2008 3:24:12 PM

he is retarded

2/24/2008 3:25:32 PM

Those 40 times are wrong. Everything I've seen on Sportscenter has Chris Johnson from ECU with the fastest time and McFadden #2

2/24/2008 10:27:28 PM

How does everybody feel about Dorsey not working out whatsoever.

2/25/2008 4:56:08 PM

I think Dorsey is the best D-lineman to come out of college this year

2/25/2008 4:58:27 PM

Yeah...Dorsey, McFadden, Matt Ryan and the Long Brothers are probably the top 5 in most people's eyes

[Edited on February 25, 2008 at 5:03 PM. Reason : I know they're not really brothers]

Does it really matter? There is pretty much no difference between 4.27 and 4.29

2/25/2008 5:12:38 PM

not if they are hand clocked times

they could be way off

2/25/2008 5:14:40 PM

Johnson had a 4.24 and McFadden had a 4.33 . . . so there is a little more difference

2/25/2008 5:46:22 PM

I watched the combine live (stopped watching before Johnson ran his 2nd time). Those were the times they had clocked them at, unofficially, they didnt give out the official times till after I had posted..

2/25/2008 7:49:43 PM

Doubt it hurts his stock but:

Darren McFadden's agent confirmed that Darren McFadden could be the father of up to three illegitimate children.

There are a lot of paternity tests in his future. This isn't McFadden's only pre-draft trouble, he was also handcuffed after a fight at a piano bar in January. We doubt it will have significant impact on where he's drafted, but it's worth consideration in an NFL increasingly concerned with character.

WRAP THAT SHIT UP B!!!! WRAP IT UP!

2/26/2008 5:12:33 PM

I don't see how that would effect his draft status, I mean you have to imagine there are quite a few NFL players who have illegitimate kids running around out there.

2/26/2008 7:12:21 PM

Travis Henry has fathered 9 kids with 9 different women. You would have thought after atleast the 5th, he would have gotten something snipped.

2/26/2008 7:18:13 PM

wonder where chris johnson will land

2/26/2008 11:18:55 PM

the browns

Chris Long sure can look like a retard sometimes

3/5/2008 3:35:08 PM

^that's Jake Long, not Chris Long.

3/5/2008 4:44:31 PM

whoops you are correct

3/5/2008 4:46:03 PM

wow, that's impressively ugly

3/5/2008 6:17:16 PM

hate all you want, dude's gonna get paid soon.

3/5/2008 6:19:09 PM

who is hating? i'm sure Chris Jake Long himself would look at that picture and laugh

3/5/2008 6:23:03 PM

any news/ new mocks?

3/12/2008 7:46:16 AM

^Not sure about that mock. I just don't see KC passing up the top OL in the draft for a DT. And I don't see the Panthers taking a QB in the first-round.

3/12/2008 8:16:34 AM

bitter beer face!

3/12/2008 8:18:12 AM

^^haha, didn't say it was a "good one", just the easiest place to find one, so I went there first & it was updated yesterday


google "2008 nfl mock draft" for a list of about 400 billion of them

they're talking up here on the radio in philly about considering morgan at 19

3/12/2008 10:16:11 AM

^ They must feel that he wouldn't be available in the 2nd-round. And he has a lot of upside, so they could slowly bring him in behind Dawkins, that would make some sense. Plus a lot of teams have cooled off on Phillips so he is likely going to be considered the top S in the draft.

3/12/2008 10:20:45 AM

This website has a big list of mock drafts listed by their date of update.

3/12/2008 10:45:01 AM

Does anyone else think Stone could make it on as a free agent TE?

Also Blackman has to make a team, no way he can't help out at least on special teams.

3/12/2008 11:46:18 AM

http://www.drafttek.com/round12008.html

That is the first one on that site^^, haha, I love the Panthers pick in the 1st round, no way he falls that low.

[Edited on March 12, 2008 at 11:46 AM. Reason : ^]

3/12/2008 11:46:19 AM

feel the panthers should get someone on the oline or the dline or lb

3/12/2008 11:51:07 AM

^^Yeah and they have Ryan falling to 8 to Baltimore....isn't it almost a sure thing the Falcons are going to take him?

The Panthers need a lot of help but if McFadden were to drop to them, they would be complete idiots to not take him.

3/12/2008 11:52:09 AM

There would have to be some dark rites performed for us to even get a whiff of McFadden.

But that would be awesome. Sadly, if McFadden drops out of the top 5, Jerry Jones' chance of successfully trading up to get him becomes exponentially higher.

Don't teams only get 10 minutes for the first round this year? If McFadden were to slip, that would be the craziest 10 minutes in a war room, ever.

3/12/2008 11:57:12 AM

McFadden at 13TH?! hahahahahhaha yeah right

3/12/2008 12:32:11 PM

I doubt the panthers would even take mcfadden at 13, all of our offseason moves SCREAM OT in the first round. I'm pretty sure we'll end up with Williams at 13, or preferably we could trade down a bit and end up with Otah.

3/12/2008 3:09:53 PM

I'd love to be sitting at #13 and McFadden still be there when we're on the clock. We'd have so many trade offers on our plate we wouldn't be able to go through them all, haha.

I'd take McFadden and either dual-back him with DeAngelo and make our offense that much better or package him in a big trade for some OL help and draft picks.
