im pretty much devastated. The Jaguars couldnt have screwed up more. I would have been exstatic if they got malaguna in the second round but of course he was taken one pick before. I feel like they didnt address their major needs WR,DT,DE,MLB,RB and they just focused on oline because it was so bad last year, but then again the only reason it was bad because they were all injured. I mean everyone is healthy this year and they signed Tra Thomas, so wasting a first and 2nd round pick on o linemen makes no sense to me. Passing on Crabtree is probably going to be haunting me for the next 10 years because I truely am that obsessed with the Jags and i feel he will be that goodComment -
Good topic, I don't really pull for any team in particular these days so can't weigh in from a fan perspective, but I think New England made excellent decisions.Comment -
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!
probably their best draft ever.Comment -
Yeah I couldn't believe Maul made it out of the 1st...was ecstatic when Crab was available at 10. Didn't think there was any way. Jags could have done better but I wouldn't say they did horrible...probably a B or B-. Got some decent lineman and some decent wr's late round.
Pats made good use of their picks for sure...plenty of players to develop and have for the future.
One of the better Niner drafts I can remember. I myself am pretty high on Davis at the end of the fifth...a couple of rough games and a bad workout plummeted him from a 2nd ish round pick to the 5th. Love his arm and accuracy...has decent mobility. Think he has the intangibles to be successful...just needs developed a little.Comment -
Rams drafted well.
Raiders, OTOH... drafted a WR they could've had in late 1st as their 7th pick. Then drafted a SS that they could've drafted in the 3rd or 4th rd as their 47th pick overall.
Someone should remind Al Davis that this isn't a track meet.

That 2nd round pick was classic dagger...don't even think espn had highlights on the guy from what I read.
Bey over Crab and Maclin
...at least could have traded to the 20th pick and had an extra pick on top of getting Bey.

Let me preface this with admitting I do not know the WR Oakland selected, and he may have not had as good of a college career as some other WR's in the draft. He also may not have been that high on any mock drafts, but these scouts and team evaluators are generally pretty good and they may have seen something out of this guy that made him very valuable to them. Furthermore, hindsight is always 20/20, they may have believed he would've been snatched up or another team saw what they saw.Comment -
Falcons (favrotie team) - good defensive additions, Dirty Birds will stop the run.
Seahawks (local team) - defense will be improved, curry is a stud. Got Denver's 2010 1st rounder (top 10 pick?), filled some holes, O-line, WR and a third string QB.
The NFC West might be competitive this season, all 4 teams had decent drafts.
Broncos (favorite AFC team)-
Josh McDaniels has single handedly destroyed a franchise that was a defence away from a championship. He didn't adress their biggest need, D-line. Took a bunch of safeties and defensive ends. Traded his first rounder next year. He did draft Knowshon Moreno, who will be an exiting running back, but his defence will fail.
Chargers fans should be exited.Comment -
He had the fastest 40 time at the combine. Al Davis loves speed. I feel sorry for the scouts in oakland. They had nothing to do with this pick.Originally posted by CrazyLouComment -
True but what Al saw was the 4.3 40...no scout could possibly rank him ahead of Crab and Maclin. No other team would have taken him that high knowing he was at best the 15th pick.Originally posted by CrazyLou
nfl.com:
Pick Analysis: In a bit of a head-scratcher, the Raiders bypass Michael Crabtree and Jeremy Maclin to select Heyward-Bey. Although the former Maryland speedster recorded the best 40 time (4.30) at the combine, he is raw and unrefined as a receiver. He may eventually develop into a big-time weapon in the Raiders' offense, but he is a bit of a reach as a potential No. 1 receiver.Comment -
redskins need help on the o-line and we end up drafting a bunch of undersized LB/TE's that won't even make the psComment -
Falcons had the best draft ever. This team will go to the Superbowl sooner than later.Comment -

This is similar to 1985 when Al Davis drafted a receiver named Jessie Hester because of his blazing speed. A fellow receiver by the name of Jerry Rice wasn't even on in his radar because he was considered "too slow."
Hester was sure fast... seemed like he was always open 40 yards down the field. The only problem was the ball kept hitting the ground cause he had hands dipped in grease.

Colts & Packers addressed their needs and got some highly touted players given their selection spots, so I'm happy. It remains to be seen whether or not these players will be busts or not, only time will tell. I won't lose sleep over Bill Polian getting the job done, but I'm a little more uneasy with Ted Thompson. This draft will really define the Packers transition to the 3-4, so a lot of hopes & expectations will be pinned to Raji & Matthews III.Comment -
Hard to tell if a draft is good or not before they play, who the hell knows who is going to be good at the next level.Comment -
I liked the Buccaneers draft besides the fact that they traded UP to take Freeman ARE YOU ****INGGG SERIOUSSSSSSS already have 4 QBs and they take another quarterback and not really good one plus all those receivers were still on the board I hope this guy proves me wrong or that all those "great" prosects that were still on the board are bustsComment -
Out of all NFL teams, why would you pick the homos from mass to reference? What about the Giants or Jets? The G-Men, IMO made good decisions.Originally posted by CrazyLouComment -
I think Denver gots something by Picking up QB Tom Brandstater in the 6th. He's more talented the current QB we have. He can scramble, has a Strong arm, and tough in the pocket. It's possible McD can convert this guy into another Matt Cassel. So I'm opportunistic as a Broncos fan again.Comment -
the Jets got Sanchez! That awesome. This team hasn't had a reliable QB since the early Pennington days. Time for the Jets to get back on the map.Comment -
Giants drafted extremely well in my mind at the moment but will see soon who really drafted good. i love watching the raiders do anything important lol .al davis always finds a way to F everything up [unless there drafts picks play good which i doubt]Comment -
Actually had a solid draft all around, I can even remember the last time. Andre Smith, Malaluga, Johnson, Chase Coffman, Luigs, Huber and some other spare parts. Filled some key positions. I only wish we could have landed D. Ward instead of TampaComment -
way way too early to tell how the steelers did in the draft.... nothing very interesting from a square fans perspective here...no "big splashes"....but I like it better that way, i'm glad they chose to stock up on guys that will help them control the line of scrimmage in the future....Comment -
I saw them shuffling and jiving like they always do with their pick positioning, and just consider Belichick and company to be the best draft-minded team in the league. I would trust the work behind their selections and potential upside to be far greater than most other teams in the league.Originally posted by ChuteBoxeComment -
Cowboys fan.....I'd give them a C Grade for the draft.
They got defense what they needed and a few offensive players. BUt, 3OLB, too many. A DE is good. A few CB is solid.
QB, WR, PK, OT on offense.
But, overall, they didn't draft good players, they could have gotten better guys in better spots. They kept trading picks in useless parts of the draft and didn't do anything with it.
They still only have 2 solid receivers on that team and Jason Witten is 1 of them, so they need a Solid #2 receiver after Roy Williams and I think either trade for someone or pick up Free Agent Marvin Harrison.
We need a better season than what's been happening the last few years. But, the Cowboys are hurting themselves more than helping so far.
Releasing T.O. Roy Williams (Defense), PacMan, Tank, etc. And they have not picked up 1 solid player.
Losing more than they are getting...not good.
Unless they pick up a few solid players, I'm not liking the current team.Comment -
My Bengals once again went for talent at the possible expense of character, but this time we at least filled the holes on our roster:
Andre gives us a replacement for Willie Anderson.
Rey gives us a hard-hitting presence for dealing with the physical offenses in our division.
Michael Johnson gives us an instant pass rush boost that's desperately needed.
The mid-round picks give competition to some positions that were terrible last year: TE, C, and P.
I'm satisfied, it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out.Comment -
anyone have any idea when O/U for seasons wins usually come out?Comment -
My chargers got better on the defensive side of the ball. Im happy. Shawne Merriman returns next year. Im excited.Comment -

1st round pick next year from Car.
As a Niner faithful myself, I was happy with the 09 draft. The Crabtree pick was a no-brainer at 10. I'm glad we got Davis to develop at QB. I still think we should have picked Everette Brown or William Moore and kept our fourth. I'm thinking the Niners are going to work out a trade for Peppers. Brown is a pass rushing DE (olb), why draft someone when you've got one of the best? I hope something happens anyway, Peppers would make that LB core just nasty.

yeah madn...was threilled with Davis in the 5th. lvoe his arm and mobility. Really wanted everette too...was disapointed when they traded the pick away but another first is nice fgor next year. Hoping for a turnaround.
peppers/p will= way too nasty.Comment -

Davis will be a late round steal. His learning disablity is overblown. The dude is a baller, and if we give him a few years of learning unlike Smith he will progress into a starter. Mckillop reminds me of a young Zack Thomas, very productive but undersized. Our undrafted free agents are impressive also Sheets will bump Clayton off the roster and Boone has a shot at replacing Sims (who Sucks). I hope Balmer lives up to his potential this year at the nose or end. I'm crossing my fingers on the Peppers trade but it makes sense IMO. My username usually is Albinorhino49 for other forums but I don't want people to think I'm a homer when I bet or have a opinion on a Niner game. I think The Falcon's had an awesome draft too and are the team on a rise like the Niners. I heard somewhere that vegas has the over/under at 7 wins for the 49ers and 8 for the Falcon's and I would bet heavy on the over for both teams. As you can see I love talkin' Niner football my wife gets sick of hearing me rant, thanks for listening (reading). Go Niners!
