Draft Daddy

N.F.L. experts say former U.S.C. wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett's slip in draft was the result of a poor performance against an elite cornerback and the inability to overcome the Mike Williams stigma.

Realfootball365.com: Brady Quinn vs. John Beck

DD.comment

: By the way, we laughed off Suzy Kolber's comment last weekend that Beck and Drew Brees (a player some compare Beck to) are "about the same age". We figured Brees -- who is going into his 7th N.F.L. season -- was over, or very close to, 30.....We were wrong. Brees was born in 1979 and Beck was born in 1981. At current Beck's age (26), Brees was going into his 5th N.F.L. season.
And don't forget, Brees had already been declared a bust after three average to poor seasons in San Diego. He only got another chance out west, because Phillip Rivers -- who was brought in to replace him -- had a prolonged holdout in the summer of 2004.
Point? Dolphins execs and fans better hope their new "Brees clone" has a much faster learning curve than the real Brees did.

Fans and media in New Orleans continue to be fascinated with undrafted free agent defensive tackle Walter Thomas.

Is former JUCO standout Walter Thomas, the most famous undrafted free agent ever?

Former Notre Dame running back Darius Walker and his family are stunned over the fact he was not drafted and want answers.

"Everything leading up to the draft was very positive," Walker said. "It was going to be a big year. Darius was in the top 10 in rushing in the country. He was No. 2 for receptions for a running back. He's always been healthy, so it hadn't been an issue as far as the question of durability.

"How does a guy that's fourth on the all-time rushing list for Notre Dame not get drafted?"

DD.comment:

Nice list, but we must point out that Dan Bauzin was drafted by the Chicago Bears in round 2.....If you are wondering where some of these players landed as free agents, check our constantly updated Free Agent List.

Someone convince Boone

 

[Thump]

McFadden was #1, Jake Long #2. Laurinitis and Gholston were in the top 25.

I see Robiskie being a decent pick when he's elibigle.

I see Robiskie being a decent pick when he's elibigle.

He is eligible next year...

I also think that Jenkins is first round material as well...

 

[king rhabuf]

jenkins is if he has a big year next year
​

 

[Bestbuck36]

yep, I posted in Jenkins thread yesterday that after this season he'll be the #1 rated corner in next years draft if he goes. He most likely will be playing his last season as a Buckeye this year.

In case there are doubts, check the sig.

this is why Jay Mariotti is a fucking retard. according to every Miami fan I've ever talked to, "G-reg" from that horrible rap song wasn't him.

edit: didn't read the article. apparently he's quoted as saying it was him. Mariotti is still a fucking retard though.

I really think the bills got a good one in him...could end up being the steal of the draft considering we picked him up in the 6th
