NFL Network just announced Phillip Adams, DB out of NC State...to which I wondered who the heck was Phillip Adams.


Google turned up he apparently played at SC State.

4/24/2010 4:01:34 PM

whats the draft count by school?

fsu, miami have to be sucking at this draft...

3 pirates drafted...one of which was the punter...ha

4/24/2010 4:40:37 PM

what happened with jevan snead? i thought kiper was saying he'd be the #1 pick this time last year.

4/24/2010 5:09:29 PM

Andre Brown.... should have stayed

He's 23 or 24 and graduated. Let the man move on with his life if this doesn't pan out. He should get a chance as an undrafted free agent, who have about as good a shot making an NFL team as a 7th round pick.

Also surprising noone took a shot with LeGarrett Blount. Obviously bad incident but could be a big back or Greg Jones type FB.

^^^^^I don't think Kiper was the one who had him as the #1 pick, but the Bucs signed him to a FA contract after the draft

4/24/2010 6:27:17 PM

Toney Baker used to be the #1 RB in HS. Just to show you how much HS football ranking mean.

4/24/2010 8:45:21 PM

That was also back when he had a set of knees.

I thought he might have but I found one article from cbs sports that had him #1 overall from April 27, 2009

funny how things can change / these guys don't know what they're talking about

4/24/2010 9:05:26 PM

Just for reference. He didn't do a bad job for just guessing. Just weird that the opinion of snead changed so much.

4/24/2010 9:21:50 PM

dang what happened with dwyer? i thought he was a projected 1st rounder

4/24/2010 10:40:41 PM

He ran like a 4.7 at the combine.

4/25/2010 12:51:43 AM

Falcons drafted a guy whose official pic includes drawn in hair...

4/25/2010 1:21:40 AM

I miss the draft.

I think a 4th day could work.

4/25/2010 2:21:02 PM

i think the draft should start 2 weeks after the superbowl and every team gets to be on the clock for a day or two and that way we drag out football season super long since its the only sport i care about

4/25/2010 3:06:46 PM

ECU's punter was drafted higher than George Selvie.

I am in no way bragging. I think this is ludacris.

The NFL draft is a wild ride man. I mean what the heck.

Jevan Snead didn't even get drafted. WOW.

These poor kids run through walls for years and years just to have some NFL exec take wild swings and misses on just whatever player strikes their fancy. I hate it for some of these kids.

4/26/2010 6:50:56 PM

Just for reference. Kiper just announced his top 5 for next year on SC.

1. Jake Locker
2. Robert Quinn
3. Andrew Luck
4. A.J. Green
5. I wasn't paying enough attention

didn't know unc had a player that good. we'll see how this stands come next year.

4/26/2010 7:02:52 PM

Anyone else think Seattle might have made a mistake on their draft card when they selected EJ Wilson (6'4 286 DE out of North Carolina), not CJ Wilson (6'3 290 DE out of East Carolina) in the 4th round? Pretty much everyone had CJ Wilson as a higher grade going into the draft...

You can't blame Seattle. Every time a non-greenville reporter wrote about CJ Wilson, they friggin called him EJ every Mutha FXXXin time. Jeez.

But thats ok. CJ is gonna fix all that real soon.

4/27/2010 9:24:07 AM

NFL Network's coverage was FAR more tolerable than ESPN's this year.

Denver Broncos signed Toney Baker

4/27/2010 10:39:42 AM

Quote :

"Anthony Catania also known as "Tony The Baker" (September 23, 1911 - November 23, 1988) was a Sicilian-American associate with the New York Lucchese crime family. [edit]Biography Born in the Ozone Park section of Queens, Catania was related to Morello crime family aligned mobster Joseph "Joe The Baker" Catania whose family came from Catania. Joseph introduced Anthony to La Cosa Nostra. Joseph rose to prominence within the Morello crime family in the 1920's and appeared to have been involved with Ciro Terranova, Daniel Iamascia and Dutch Schultz. Joseph was later killed by Castellammarese clan leader Salvatore Maranzano's hit squad in the Bronx. Anthony would later become involved with the Lucchese crime family and served under caporegime Paul Vario. He would become involved in counterfieting and identity fraud which he provided the services for all of the Vario Crew. In 1988, Catania died in Bayside, Queens."

4/27/2010 10:41:23 AM

^^ I'm suprised they didn't trade way up in the draft to get him.....

4/27/2010 10:53:20 AM

^says the guy whos team traded a 1st for Roy Williams.

4/27/2010 11:00:37 AM

Aaron Hernandez failed multiple drug tests. good job catching that one, Patriots!

4/27/2010 11:04:33 AM

HAHA we all make mistakes

2007 Jarvis Moss - DE
2008 Ryan Clady - OL
2009 Moreno - RB Ayers - DE
2010 Thomas - WR Tebow - QB

Some teams trade their first round draft picks, some teams waste them (With the exception of Clady, he is a beast). We will see how Thomas works out, but I think we both know Tebow will bust

Also, Baker to take Moreno's spot

I thought they knew about it...He was arguably the best TE in the draft, taken in the 3rd b/c of all the failed tests.

4/27/2010 11:48:18 AM

How the hell did Dwyer last to 188?

Steelers got a steal

4/27/2010 11:50:35 AM

4.7 40 time

* = underclassman

I really hope UNC never has a player go #1 in the draft...thats something we not only hold over them, but we hold over the entire ACC...for now

BBall wise I think Thompson was #1 overall (ABA) but UNC has Worthy and (gasp) Brad Daugherty

4/27/2010 8:01:15 PM

it'll be as few as 2 and as many as 5, depending on the upcoming season. quinn and austin are locks, and carter, sturdivant, and williams could also be there. burney is good but is probably a 2nd-4th guy, and charlie brown is probably 3rd-4th.

4/27/2010 8:53:34 PM

i dont care to find the correct thread or where i said it but i called JaMarcus being a bust years ago

4/28/2010 8:35:31 PM
