cause you can get some quality picks in the 2nd round

i sure HOPE we are the winners so far

4/28/2007 5:25:19 PM

we somehow missed all the hoopla when Steve Jackson shattered the single-season rushing record.

GG espn

4/28/2007 5:25:22 PM

I trust Fox.. he's picked some guys nobody knew about before and they usually turn out to be pretty solid picks.. and we did more picks to address other needs so I have no problem with the trade and the pick....yet

4/28/2007 5:26:03 PM

With the uproar over the Beason pick at 25, just think what it would have been if we had taken him at 14 with out getting the extra picks.

4/28/2007 5:26:47 PM

When did Salisbury get the Scott Van Pelt haircut?

4/28/2007 5:27:08 PM

the doorbell is definitely the #1 invention of all time

4/28/2007 5:31:12 PM

Dwayne Jarrett or Joe Staley to 49'ers

4/28/2007 5:32:59 PM

so we will move on to SD what does PR need? a WR would def. be nice but who do they go with??

or LB to replace Donnie Edwards

[Edited on April 28, 2007 at 5:34 PM. Reason : fd]

4/28/2007 5:33:58 PM

so next round the panthers get 45 and 59

i'd love to see Sydney Rice available at 45

4/28/2007 5:37:53 PM

Fucking ease up on the guy. NFLdraftcountdown had us taking Beason at 14 just a few days ago, so the guy is legit in the eyes of the draft gurus. And the guys on the ESPNU draft special think he's going to be the best LB from this draft (said he's the most natural LB).

Would have rather had Griffin, but what can you do.

4/28/2007 5:42:44 PM

also fyi the next 4 picks are BAL, SD, CHI, IND

i doubt they'll take Olsen over Heap, Gates, DClark and DClark

^yeah they say he can play inside linebacker or outside on the right or left...and many had him as the 2nd best LB in the draft, only behind Patrick Willis (MISS)

[Edited on April 28, 2007 at 5:45 PM. Reason : .]

4/28/2007 5:43:53 PM

also the Panthers need Steve Smith out of USC while the Chiefs should draft Anthony Gonzalez

4/28/2007 5:47:58 PM

Speaking of NFLdraftcountdown.com ....

JON BEASON Scouting Report:

Strengths:
Terrific athlete...Short but not necessarily small...Very good speed and quickness with a burst...Outstanding instincts and awareness...Is strong, physical and plays much bigger than he is...Solid tackler and a violent hitter...Has sideline-to-sideline range...Solid in coverage...Always seems to be around the action...Versatile with experience at all three linebacker positions...Has a motor that never stops...Fantastic leader with excellent intangibles...A great special teamer.

Weaknesses:
Undersized and does not have the ideal height that you look for...Frame might be maxed out...Overly aggressive at times and as a result he will miss a few tackles and get fooled...Doesn't have real fluid hips...Not a great blitzer...Gets engulfed by massive blockers...Battled some injuries and durability is a legitimate concern.

Notes:
...Has just about everything you look for except height and can be a three down player in the pros.

4/28/2007 5:48:37 PM

^ i think the concern is:

Quote :

"He has a history of durability issues, including shoulder and knee injuries throughout his career."

so that is why people are hesitant to embrace the pick, especially given dan morgan's history

4/28/2007 5:51:19 PM

exactly

4/28/2007 5:53:22 PM

wtf why was Olsen so happy? you know the Chargers dont need a TE.

are they trading the pick to someone??

4/28/2007 5:54:43 PM

aj better not pick olsen...

4/28/2007 5:56:47 PM

^^ Yeah, the injury thing is kinda disheartening.

But in his defense, Dan Morgan didn't miss a single game at Miami IIRC. Maybe we'll get some reverse mojo with Beason.

4/28/2007 5:57:10 PM

a trade wouldn't be a surprise here.

With Olsen, DT Branch, & LB Poslusny? all available, someone could definetly move up to get one of those guys.

4/28/2007 5:57:20 PM

quick question about Berman:

i havent been paying as much attention, but is he doing his gay shit he did last year where he'd hear the pick in his earpiece and then he would make a "prediction" on who was going to get drafted?

4/28/2007 5:57:37 PM

that's the wrong fucking receiver aj!!!

4/28/2007 5:58:19 PM

lsu is dominating

how many from the SEC thus far?

seems like a fuckload

4/28/2007 5:58:38 PM

^4 from LSU

4/28/2007 5:58:56 PM

I wouldnt doubt if the Colts pick up Olsen, I know Clark had that injury last year and everyone was really really worried

Chicago could go with him as well but I see it more of a fit for the Colts

and Davis?? I thought they woulda went with someone else but hey...speed and hands thats what they didnt have last year.

4/28/2007 5:59:58 PM

i think they got a good pick....they went after speed, to stretch the defense. they already have a big target in the red zone in Gates, they dont need another big receiver.

no he's been avoiding that


John Clayton threatened to beat him up if he did it again this year






11 from the SEC

over a third of the picks so far

best football conference by FAR

[Edited on April 28, 2007 at 6:06 PM. Reason : z]

4/28/2007 6:03:44 PM

^^^Clark and Utep (sp?)

^good

[Edited on April 28, 2007 at 6:04 PM. Reason : .]

4/28/2007 6:04:02 PM

^^^ there are faster guys on the board who are also projected to be better receivers. aj has proven he knows what he is doing when it comes to drafting, so i guess i better just trust him.

jarrett... rice... smith...

4/28/2007 6:04:18 PM

you know maybe this is just wishful thinking, but if Jenkins is a question mark for the Panthers, Tank Tyler at 59th pick?

4/28/2007 6:09:20 PM

the two LSU receivers have gone to AFC West teams.

Don't you think they'll be telling their new teams about the strengths and weaknesses of JaMarcus Russell?

4/28/2007 6:10:03 PM

how much time is there to pick in the 2nd round?

4/28/2007 6:11:33 PM

weakness: plays for the raiders

4/28/2007 6:12:33 PM

less

i want to say 10 or 5 minutes

that's a very good possibility

4/28/2007 6:14:31 PM

10 mins per pick in 2nd round, 5 in all rounds thereafter

4/28/2007 6:14:54 PM

don't the panthers already another LB in Jon Beason mold called Thomas Davis?

4/28/2007 6:17:50 PM

^somewhat...hopefully since we wont try to play beason out of position he can catch on more quickly than davis

4/28/2007 6:19:01 PM

hopefully

4/28/2007 6:19:38 PM

holy shit

gonzalez? seriously?

4/28/2007 6:20:05 PM

am I the only one who doesnt think Calvin Johnson is the clearcut best player in the draft lock that all the ESPN guys seem to think?

not that i really have another clearcut suggestion, but watching him in a number of ACC games he didnt seem like the superstar that hes made out to be

4/28/2007 6:28:34 PM

^reggie ball effect

That motherfucker was garunteed to destroy us everytime we played them

glad we dont have to deal with him again

[Edited on April 28, 2007 at 6:33 PM. Reason : asde]

4/28/2007 6:32:47 PM

we got them a couple years ago when we rocked Johnson in the endzone and picked off Ball

Yeah, you probably are.

Did you see him against us? We could of put 10 guys on him and he still would have destroyed us. His QB at GT was terrible, often just flinging it up in the middle of the field. Johnson would come down with his shit passes nearly every time. It will be scary to see what he can do with a good, hell, even a decent QB throwing him the ball.

Thank God he didn't end up in Tampa .... though I guess it could still happen.

[Edited on April 28, 2007 at 6:41 PM. Reason : ]

4/28/2007 6:38:15 PM

^ yeah, we got that win because ball threw the ball 5 feet behind Johnson. Still surprises me to this day he didn't find some way to catch it.

yet somehow the most highly penalized team in the country, coached by a clown no less, was able to beat him

i mean obviously time will tell but i just always thought he was a great college receiver...not some torry holt or even a dwayne jarrett

[Edited on April 28, 2007 at 6:45 PM. Reason : .]

4/28/2007 6:42:42 PM

Beason is a good pick for the Panthers, could have gone earlier and he replaces draft. I wouldn't have minded if the Bengals took him at 18

4/28/2007 6:45:16 PM

ahaha the eagles

4/28/2007 6:47:44 PM

Wow, what the fuck did the Eagles just do?

Yea....On a freak play at the end of the game.

Having Ball as a QB, was like us having the most penalized team in the nation.
