Official 2009 NFL Draft Thread

[anks106]

You actually watched Richmond games on tape? Or are you talking about you have seen his highlights? Big difference between watching tape and watching highlights.

Also can he play in a 3-4. Not everyone can. Pass rushers are at a premium, you can find them later but for the most part they are all picked in the first 3 rounds. If your not picked in the first 3 rounds scouts think of you as a raw pass rusher who needs a lot of time to develop.

I've seen Richmond play a bit (I'm from the east coast, they have been on tv a bit) and against his competition, Sidbury was the real deal. Great first step, great spin and swim moves that start the same and can confuse lineman, but that is against his competition. He will need time to adjust to the nfl pace, given who he has played. He will be good imo, and I have seen him play.. but Rashad Johnson is a great pick here.

Dorell Scott is a boom/bust guy, but adds some bulk to the Rams' line.

 

[Shogun]

DJ Moore must have killed somebody in the past few days. I'm sure of it.

 

[WildBB]

We will get one or two more pass rushers in this draft. Don't worry, trust in WhizIm sure the 4th round will bring us one and we'll get another in either the 6th or 7th.

You can't go in with that mind set. We already addressed the OLB spot. No one else is going to crack the lineup.

Keep your options open moving forward.

We still need help in the interior line or at OT as well, eventually.

who cares what pfw says...I base it on what I saw of him on tape... My problem is it does not matter how deep and talented our secondary is, without a real pass rush it leaves them on an island leading to inevitible breakdowns... Can't have a great secondary without pressure on the QB....

So you would rather reach for a pass rusher then take the BPA? Hows has the worked out in the past.

I think we go OL at 131. Pissing off a lot of yous guys.

 

[Shogun]

Miavia to Cleveland? A bit odd.

wouldn't piss me off.

hahahaha!! word.

I am in awe that he is still sitting there.

4/5

Reebok will be pissed Hoyer's shirt is wrinkled.

 

[Unsterblich856]

I would not put it past the Bengals to go with DJ Moore right here.

 

[Shogun]

Henry Melton to Chicago. A little shocked he's this early, but his athleticism is hard to ignore. Developmental guy.

 

[Shogun]

Jon Luigs to Cincy. I really like what Cincy has going.

 

[Chopper0080]

I am too lazy to go through the old posts but is it painfully evident to anybody else that New England (Bill B) understand that draft process better than the rest of the NFL? I had suspected it before this draft, but what they have done has just slapped me in the face.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

who's running the bengals this year? it can't be mike brown.

 

[Chopper0080]

Shogun I totally agree. Cincy is really doing a good job of not reaching and taking impact guys. Luigs could be the third starter that they come out of this draft with.

 

[Chopper0080]

In a weak draft no less. Granted the Bengals are lacking in talent but 3 probable starters in a weak draft year...wow.

 

[Shogun]

Mike Thomas goes to JAX. He shocked me at the Combine in receiver drills.

 

[football karma]

We can only carry so many players at one position on the roster.

Berry, Laboy, Haggans, Okeafor, and Cody Brown are our OLBs at the moment. We can't carry that many more.

that is exactly right

which veteran are you going to cut at the end of training camp to make room for a Sidbury?

 

[Unsterblich856]

Mike Thomas has left the building. Good for the Jags, they need a receiver after they cut their starting three.

 

[Shogun]

who's running the bengals this year? it can't be mike brown.

I'm confused about that, too. Their picks have been very different from previous years. Maybe Marvin Lewis is getting some more say?

 

[TJ]

Mike "Money" Thomas goes to the Jags. Nice pick up for them. They just got an awesome KR/PR.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

We can only carry so many players at one position on the roster.

Berry, Laboy, Haggans, Okeafor... We can't carry that many more.

How many Fullbacks and TE's do we have on the roster? Berry and Okeafor are on the downside of thier careers and we need to draft their replacements this year...Sidbury is raw, but his talent and natural ability could've justified the 95th pick. He could get a year behind him (maybe two at the most) and when the above players are most assuredly gone in the next one to two seasons we have a young and more than adequate replacement all ready to go... He will be an impact player in this league IMO...

 

[WildBB]

Jon Luigs to Cincy. I really like what Cincy has going.

Them and Jacksonville have improved a lot.
