One of the more boring drafts of all time.  Most of the NFL prospects didn't make a splash this past year in college.  They might be NFL players, but who the fuck are these people? 

I know there are always players from small colleges who impress at the combines, but there are a lot of no names.  Clint Sintim from Virginia?  Never heard his name once last season.

Maybe because neither one of our schools has anyone up there this year.

[Townhallsavoy]

Picks 53 and 54 will be remembered for a long time.  The Eagles need a player like McCoy.  Loadholt is going to be anchoring a line that blocks for Harvin and Peterson.  Outstanding picks IYAM. 

[The Prowler]

And....I'm Done, whew.  BTW, War Sen'Derrick Marks!!!

[The Prowler]

The Lions had a pretty damn good day.
One of the Top two Qbs
The Top TE
The Top Safety

[Snaggletiger]

The Falcons picked Peria Jerry from Ole Miss.  Okay, I have one question...


WHO THE FUCK IS PERIA JERRY????


I'm like the rest of you.  I talk SEC football year round.  I have NEVER even heard this guy's name.

Peria Jerry???

Peria Jerry???

You know. The kid that read the sign language plays sent in by Houston's brother Danny.

[Snaggletiger]

Oh oh fuck...my bad.  That Peria Jerry.

What was I thinking?

Peria Jerry???

Up until his last year at Ole Miss he was, basically, an unknown.  Enter Coach Rock, this year DT, Peria Jerry had a pretty damn good year.  He's fuckin' Quick to be as big as he is.  Old Mrs. is going to miss PJ.

[Widespread Panic]

The Prowler, did you type all of that out?  if so, nice.

[Birmingham]

Thanks for the updates Prowler, that's a lot of work.

[AUChizad]

In addition to Sen'Derrick Marks going to Tennessee in the second, Jerraud Powers went in the third round to Indianapolis and Tyronne Greene went to San Diego in the 4th.

Turds didn't have any second rounders, but had a lot of 3rd rounders. Glen Coffee (San Fransico),Antoine Caldwell (Houston), and Rashad Johnson (Arizona)

[The Prowler]

Hell Yeah....my Texans picked up another really good player.  I really like Caldwell's abilities.  And, I think he'll be a really good NFLer.

[El Guapo]

Hell Yeah....my Texans picked up another really good player.  I really like Caldwell's abilities.  And, I think he'll be a really good NFLer.

He, like Rashad, has real good football smarts.



That sentence sounded really dumb when I said it out loud, but you all know what I mean.

[wesfau2]

Congrats to Rod Smith (Chargers) and Tez Doolittle (Seahawks) for getting a shot as FAs.

A minor addition...

An homage to your draft day snubs, before they get real jobs
By Matt Hinton
 
To the college-oriented mind, the draft always produces some oddities. Among the players who were selected at some point during this weekend's seven-round, 256-pick marathon were six-foot, 198-pound quarterback Julian Edelman of Kent State (Patriots, No. 232, apparently as a receiver), West Texas A&M slinger Keith Null (Rams, No. 196), Western Ontario, Canada, defensive tackle Vaughn Martin (Chargers, No. 113), and the first draft pick ever from Division II St. Paul's (Va.) College, cornerback Greg Toler (Cardinals, No. 131). Abilene Christian teammates Bernard Scott (Bengals, No. 209) and Johnny Knox (Bears, No. 140) gave the Division II Wildcats more draft picks than Notre Dame, Miami, Florida State, Tennessee, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan State or Virginia Tech and as many as Arizona, Arizona State, Boston College or Michigan.

The intrigue surrounding the fate of West Virginia's Pat White was put to rest by the Dolphins, who introduced the "Wildcat" to a stunned league last year and appropriately nabbed the quintessential Wildcatter in the second round; a great, scrambling college quarterback couldn't have found a more perfect lab for his uncertain career. Elsewhere, the Chargers used their last pick in the seventh round on LSU receiver Demetrius Byrd, who remains hospitalized with serious injuries from a car wreck that nearly killed him last weekend, and that may prevent him from playing again. The Broncos made tight end Richard Quinn, who had all of 12 catches for 124 yards in two years at North Carolina, the second tight end off the board in the second round. Mel Kiper's preseason darling, Purdue quarterback Curtis Painter, was picked after all, by the Colts as a sixth-round understudy to Peyton Manning, despite briefly losing his job last year to a freshman who began the season as a running back. Three kickers, two punters and one long snapper were drafted; the title of "Mr. Irrelevant," the very last player picked at No. 256, was assumed by South Carolina kicker/punter Ryan Succop, best remembered for having a crucial extra point and then the game-winning field goal blocked in a one-point loss at Florida in 2006.

All of that is to point out some of the obscurities and obvious risks the NFL apparently values to some extent, in contrast to the annual list of notable, productive college stars that it apparently does not:




The League has spoken: No checks shall be issued to prolific spread quarterbacks named "Chase."

The most immediately recognizable name on the list may be Chase Daniel's, but a few other strike me as more puzzling -- namely, Gregg Carr and Jaison Williams, big, productive receivers who I'd think would have the scouts drooling over their size (if not their hands), and Aaron Kelly, another big receiver who passed up a sure spot in last year's draft for a perfectly decent senior season (67 catches) in a wreck of a passing game at Clemson. (See also the decline of one-time scout favorite Harper, Cullen.) What solace did Quan Cosby receive from his host, Bill Cosby, as the rounds passed slowly by? And then there's P.J. Hill, the only major snub who actually left a year of eligibility on the table to test the free agent market (without much success, so far, if this comprehensive list is any indication) -- though, in P.J.'s defense, another year at Wisconsin probably wouldn't have done much for his stock, especially if it was spent behind up-and-coming John Clay.

But for supreme confusion, there's the torrid love affair between Tampa Bay and Josh Freeman, one of the most befuddling first-rounders in recent memory for anyone who watched Freeman against a defense with a pulse at Kansas State, about which new Bucs coach (and former K-State assistant) Raheem Morris actually said, "If I had the Detroit Lions' pick at No. 1, I might have taken Josh Freeman. I'd be fighting for it." Which all goes to show: "Value" and "potential" are all in the eyes of the beholder.

Holy Crap.  There are some Big Time players that didn't get drafted.  But, yet there are players that went in the Top Four Rounds that most NFL teams didn't even have any film on.  There was one player that went in the 2nd Round that not one NFL team had even heard of, well except for one "The Crip Keeper" saw him run the 40...once.  And it was, supposedly, fast.  Brian Toal?  Are you kidding me?  That guy is a Stud Kat.  But, teams are going to take some DIII Water Boy, over him....Crazy.
