2009 NFL Draft Chat/Discussion

[The Goat]

Ok i gotta say it...whoever takes Rey from this point probably gets the best value in the draft. Wells could be that guy too but the injury history isn't comforting.

anybody else surprised by Philly picking another WR in the mold of DeSean Jackson?

Yes. They should have taken Pettigrew.

Can you imagine the 2 TE sets Philly would have run? Scary man, just scary. I think they should have taken Pettigrew as well or Wells cuz after the oft injured Westbrook who's gonna carry that pigskin?

[BleedBurgundy]

If the Patriots end up with Rey that's going to be ridiculous. Talk about going from one of the oldest LB corps to one of the youngest (and best).

[The Goat]

Effing Pats...those a-holes know how to work the draft.

[The Goat]

DAMN!! The Pack just built a defense.

[BleedBurgundy]

So Rey will be the last USC 'backer off the board.

Yep. I'm shocked at that and the fact he dropped so far. I mean at this point I have to ask what might have been for us in a trade down scenario to get him and another pick. Oh well...not gonna complain about Orakpo but honestly i don't expect him to be the impact player in our system most are expecting.

There was a reason why I was against drafting Rey-Rey at 13... looks like some other teams thought so too.

Orakpo is the best case scenario for the Skins. I can't believe he dropped to us. I remember watching UT games earlier last season and thinking this guy had to go top 3. The dude is a beast upfield.

He's overrated.

Gentleman's bet Rey has as good a career as any defensive player taken in this draft...you just don't find many badass inside LBs out there.

OK, cause I have a hunch he will not be anything special. He'll have an average career at best. He had A LOT of nice talent around him to make things easy on him, now that he might have to be "the man", I don't think he'll be a shining star. But you never know. Of course, if we trade up for him, then I'll change my tune.

Nah, Kaluka Maiava will be the last USC Linebacker off the board.

If Rey falls to round 2, I might see us going to get him.
