Live NFL 2006 Draft Coverage (official thread)

Omar Jacobs to Pittsburgh...that's interesting.

A new "slash" maybe...

 

[Bucklion]

The Bears wouldn't have had a 3rd round pick without the trade.
It looks like you can bump those numbers all down a spot though if Kudla last long enough.

Right...my bad. Still, it's a good list, and they could have done a hell of a lot better than they did, at every position. What the hell is one thinking when the offense is terrible and you don't use a pick in the first 5 rounds on it?

 

[Bucklion]

Of course, they'll take some jackwipe TE that is worse than Gilmore or Reid in round 6 just to further piss me off.

 

[Bucklion]

A new "slash" maybe...

There's a lot of that this year...Michael Robinson, Hagans from UVA, Smith from Mizzou, Jacobs....should be interesting to see how those QB conversions turn out.

Anthony Montgomery DT, Minnesota. who? I'm glad the redskins are horrible at drafting.

At least it's an Ohio local. Played at Cleveland JFK.

Honest mistake. Jackson played in a warm weather city while Holmes played in a cold weather city which would also factor in.

would? chicago's #2 WR is from missouri. pitt's ward is from georgia. GB's Driver is from Mississippi, Ferguson from aTm, and Javon Walker from Florida.

When the Browns took Braylon Edwards instead of Mike Williams it was because Edwards played in colder weather and was used to it.

It is a factor in some cases.

I think so. Not a big factor but something to think about.

 

[BuckWrestler141]

After some thinking i'd go...

1. Jackson WR
2. Pope TE
4. Nande LB
5. Anderson DE
6. Wright DT
6. Trade down for a 7th round pick this year and next year.
7. Jai Lewis George Mason TE

I'm sure it 'could' play a factor, but I don't think it is a guaranteed consideration, especially since I'm not sure there was a true alternative to chad in this draft. As for the browns example, Williams sat out a full year, had a pedestrian 40, and had equal production at best in contrast to Braylon.

 

[Bucklion]

Mike Hass to round 6...that's a surprise to me, and the Bears could have had him too.

I don't think it was that much of a factor. I think they took Braylon because he was the better playmaker not really because he played in colder weather.

edit: mike williams isn't much more than a possesion reciever

Im just saying what Savage said the day after the draft.

He said that the fact that Edwards played in colder weather was a factor.

CLEVELAND has two picks coming up...180 and 181. Do they need a guy like Kudla? I want to see him go, he is a STEAL in my opinion.

We absolutely need a guy like Kudla, he would be an awesome fit in our 3-4 defense.
