NFL draft

[Duff McCartney]

a lot of Mock Drafts I have seen have Merriman going to Dallas at 11.

I think Merriman is going to turn out to be not that good. Johnson I think might be better. Tough to say considering he's a Longhorn....:vomit

Newman hasn't lived up to the hype? What hype?

He's been a solid corner. He had a good rookie season and struggled a little bit the first half of last year but that would be expected with a defense as poor as ours was last season. You just can't tie up your entire salary cap on CBs just because one guy hasn't proven to be Deion Sanders in his first 2 years.

True...he had a good rookie season...and to say he struggled a little this season is an understatement...He's a poor tackler and he gets consistantly burned time after time. This was more than likely due to the new covereage rules, which tells me that he doesn't have the talent to be a pro bowl type cornerback...I believe he is highly overrated.

Now getting back to my mock....I will state this once again. At that point in the 1st round I saw Corey Webster as the best overall talent on the board, and there is certainly nothing wrong with drafting talent vs. need in some cases. This being that case. Now...it's just a mock. A MOCK for crying out loud. Like it or hate....I could give a crap, as your Dallas Cowboys will still suck next year.

Relax bro. You brought your opinion, they brought theirs....its all good. Like you said, its just a mock... , it may turn out that all of us are wrong!

[Mr Dio]

Screw that noise Mikey, I hate it when a kid disses one team without naming his (or hers?).

I could give a crap, as your Dallas Cowboys will still suck next year.

Let me guess, your team is the NE Pats right? Uh huh, prob can't admit the Lions are your team. Talk about crappy underachievers.

[Hook Dem]

There is a report out that Dallas may trade the 11th pick. They will not be looking to trade up...........down! I guess they want more picks overall. They currently have 8 picks.

[samikeyp]

I heard that....that would really piss me off.

[msufan420]

Actually Mr. Dio...If you happened to actually read my first post w/ my mock I did state that the Lions were my favorite team. Not the friggin Patriots. And I never said they were any good. To call them crappy underachievers is wrong as nobody (including me) thought they were going to be any good in the post Barry Sanders days.

[Mr Dio]

What's up people. I'm new here. I'm a Piston's fan in San Antonio. I had to jump ship over here for a while as the boards over on the Detroit site have been suckin' lately.

I did read it. You have Pistons & Detroit in back to back sentences. NOWHERE is there anythng about "Lions."

[msufan420]

It said GO LIONS at the end of the post....which insinuates that I like the Lions.....you bore me...ummm...bye-bye

[sa_butta]

SF-Aaron Rodgers
Mia-Ronnie Brown (if they trade down with TB Alex Smith may go here)
Cle-Alex Smith (unless TB trades with Mia Braylon Edwards may go here)

Read your 1st post w/the Mock that you obviously cut & pasted from an old site over again son but lay down the pipe 1st.

What's up people. I'm new here. I'm a Piston's fan in San Antonio. I had to jump ship over here for a while as the boards over on the Detroit site have been suckin' lately. There's just not a whole lot of great threads....lot of nonsense. Anyways, I was reading your posts and felt I might be able to throw in my 2 cents. I've been scouring the net, magazines, rumor mills, and mock draft sites for draft prospects. I have compiled a "mock" of my own based on team needs and that no teams trade their picks.

Well, as far as you leaving..Good riddance!
Promise to stay away?

[Mr Dio]

To help you out a bit junior, it was in your 2nd post. But you can still stay away.

[msufan420]

Saying you bore me meant that I was done for that day....I can't be gotten rid of that easily. First or second post...doesn't matter...you read it and it throws your argument out the window as to the fact that I'm bashing teams without saying who mine was.

Now as for my mock draft...you think I'm copying and pasting huh? Yeah, I guess I was cuz Mel Kiper Jr. is the only one who can create a mock draft . There's no reason to hate since I'm the only one that actually had a decent and well thought out post for this forum.
