The Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread: Round 1

Also, Kafka and Stull played weekly competiton that was superior or at least had parity with their own respective teams and got their teams into bowl games. A Stull or Kafka is more likely to make it in the NFL than a Tebow for the reasons mentioned in my previous post. Unlike the Magic 3, these not so known QB's can probably hold their own better. Give me a QB that actually made his team better than a QB on a loaded powerhouse playing inferior opponents most weekends.

Clausen made ND better. Without him they would've been 3-9 or worse. ND today unfortunately isn't ND prior to the early 90s. There talent is on par or sub-par with their opponents.

Commissioner Goodell treated at a NY hospital for bruised ribs he suffered after several bear hugs from emotional drafted NFL players.

I liked that. In fact my opinion of Goodell has gone up considerably over the past week. The prime time thing really went over well. I still hope though that the 18 games rule doesn't get passed.

Or that he changes his mind about having the f'ing Pro Bowl before the SB.

That was one of those things where I didn't really like the idea but it really did drum up interest in the Pro Bowl. Maybe a little bit more leniency on Super Bowl participants arriving a day or two before their team but other then that it seemed to work.

With the 18 games though it would mess up the standards for stats and records, not to mention it would shorten the career of certain players. I mean think about it, even if you don't make the playoffs in 8 years you end up playing the equivalent of 9 seasons. I guess maybe if it encouraged coaches to go easier on players in practice it would balance out but still.

Ok, he grabbed a couple TD's in preseason against 3rd and 4th stringers because he's tall.
Thats called Basketball.

Don't get me wrong, I was shouting for playing time for him to since he was outperforming the other young guys...but that is certainly not saying much.

This team needs a legitamate #1 or #2 receiver for McNabb.
We can't wait for the young guys to develop while we cross our fingers....however, we absoutely CANNOT deal with TO...he is an absolute JERK PSYCHO.

Thats the thing though about Mitchell. If he's as talented as I think he is then Shanahan will play him, if not then he'll be on the bench. Remember this is a coach who had Rod Smith and Ed McCaffery as his two best receivers. Not only did he get two post 2nd round guys to produce (with Rod Smith being undrafted) but he got a white guy to the pro bowl as a Receiver. That in and of itself is an accomplishment.

I agree Dirtbag. Shanny is calling the shots on who plays, not Vinny. I think we'll see who plays based on production, not what position they were drafted.

You must not be a fan of any of the other major sports. They scheduled the DRAFT in direct competition with the mlb regular season, and the post season's of both hockey and basketball. This is hubris at its highest, and at some point its gonna come back around for the nfl.
Also i can't like Goodell until he changes the pro bowl back to the way it used to be. I liked the idea of it being a reward for the players and their families to go to hawaii, now its just another money grubbing strategy by the nfl.

If you live in the Baltimore/DC area is kinda hard to be a fan of MLB and NBA.

That being said, I think MLB can survive 3 days out their 160 game season. Plus, I think David Stern would put something similar against the NFL if he could do it.

Yah but its pretty easy to be excited about the caps....
the nats will hopefully be good at some point, theyr building the team the right way, and as much as baseball bores me the stadium is awesome. And at this point youv just gotta hope the wiz get luckier in the lottery than they did last year.
