mendenhall is the choice...think this is the steal of the draft....but :shrug:
He will be. I am just upset they passed on Mendenhall.
I realize FJ style is probably a better compliment to MBIII than Mendy would be, but I just liked him better.
It does give Dallas a lethal special teams return game if Pac plays this year.
Could play a huge roll w/ field position all season long.
We shall see blue. I like accurate quarterbacks and i haven't seen any as accurate as him.
IMHO
team that did a GREAT job today with selections: CHIEFS
steal of the draft?
MENDENHALL to steelers

the guy on the nfl network said the only knock on mendenhall is that he may be a 1 year wonder...which may explain why some teams passed him up...
I like the pick too!
AR: It could be the steal based on Kiper having him #10 on the board and they got him at 23. From a value standpoint, thats pretty dang good.
Parker is a question mark next year as I see it because of the severity of the injury and the timing of it right at the end of last season. Speed is so much a part of his game, does he lose a step on that rehabbed broken ankle. And, they cant go featuring Davenport or Mwelde Moore.
Yes, they need to work on that OL, but Mendenhall can get yards and have a big impact on this offense next year. He could lead the team in rushing.

espn is mentioning thomas going to the titans...which would be a good fit for them...
the draft expert on the nfl network has mendenhall rated higher than mcfadden...
As a Dead fan, I would be remiss in pointing out that when the Tenn Titans were on the clock, they were playing Tennessee Jed over the PA.
Love that!
Ok, now back to football talk!

That was not a good pick by the Tits. They have enough RBs in the stable.
Isnt this guy (Chris Johnson) just like the RB they took from Zona(Chris Henry) last year?
Why not add Devin Thomas for VY to throw the ball.
:shrug:
But hey thats good for Dallas. Keep dropping those WRs till the 2nd round. Give me my boy Sweed!

sweed's stock has fallen because of 40 yard times in which he blamed everybody else for the slow times except himself...
Dimitroff: Tough choice between Ryan and Dorsey
By D. Orlando Ledbetter | Saturday, April 26, 2008, 04:42 PM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff came out to address the selection of quarterback Matt Ryan with the No. 3 pick.
?We are definitely excited about Matt Ryan,? Dimitroff said. ?Going forward, we?re excited about him being the quarterback of the future for the Atlanta Falcons.?
Dimitroff said the decision came down to Ryan or LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey.
?We had options for sure and obviously as it has been written, Glenn Dorsey was a legitimate consideration,? Dimitroff said. ?We respect the ability of both players. It came down to us, as far as a tipping point, us considering the value of that position and the need that we had. But most importantly we decided that the skill set that Matt Ryan possessed along with his intelligence and leadership ability, we were excited about going in that direction.?

your team just made a trade up...their pick is jenkins...there's your man 3 sec..very good value...
Yep, and some of those tie-dyes still fit!
As DeadHeads go, I am a youngling as they only had about 7-8 years of touring left in their run byt the time I was old enough to go to concerts (i am in my late 30s). But, for some reason I was always intrigued by their music and still am quick to get my hands on whatever materials of theirs gets released.
My ears picked up that song on the PA instantly, but it took me a little longer to figure out why they were playing with Tenn being on the clock. :mj07:
Holy shit the Eagles just traded for the guy i said would be the steal of the daft last year Booker. First time in my life i have seen them get a guy i wanted and this just goes to what i said about slapping westbrook in the face because they are the same type of players
I just don't like many PAC 10 QBs. Most defenses are terrible. I think Ryan has had to go up against tougher defenses. Doesn't have as much to work with like Booty. Booty gets the best talent in the country. I mean many times Ryan was under tons of pressure.
