The official 2012 draft day trades and trade rumors thread

[Southpaw]

I think he was purely referring to how this is the Bears reverting to type and taking the type of guy they always go for. Just a description of what that type was, nothing to do with race.

BS.

 

[Dayman]

How far will Upshaw fall? If he drops to the second, I think someone will get a huge bargain.

 

[Monty]

Patriots have only two picks left for the whole draft. Granted they are two second rounders but dang they went from having 10+ picks every year to 4 this year, and I think they are down to only 5 picks next year as well.

Yep, really surprised to see them trade up twice in the same round. Either tells you how disappointed Belichek was with their D last year or how much they love those two guys. Probably a combination of both

Might be the pick here. GB needs passrush help

BS.

Why, cause you know exactly what WarnerHOF was thinking when he typed that. I'm just saying what I think he meant. I could be wrong and if I am still no need to get so upset over a message board post.

So if I made a comment about Washington taking what I perceived to be an overrated black QB it would have been just as quickly dismissed?

Who knows. That's a difficult hypothetical situation to second guess. It would depend on the context it was mentioned.

In this situation I read it as WarnerHOF thinking this as being similar to what the Bears have done in the past.

What is your interest in defending him and yet you know better what he meant. He said it and it is out of line. Ed Burmilla posted a similar statement later and it was out of line.

 

[WarnerHOF]

It's a joke guys

White = typically high motor no athleticism

 

[Monty]

San Fran has a tough choice to make here I think. Think its between TE Fleener and RB Martin.

I'll go with the surprise pick of RB Doug Martin, Boise State. Heard a friend of mine in San Fran mention this morning that the 49'ers really like him.

It's not a joke.

 

[NJCardFan]

On a more serious note, we need offensive line help and as usual, we draft anything but.

What are you drunk? Can you not read? How am I defending anyone? I simply posted how I interpreted what he said. You interpreted it as a racist and I didnt.

Seattle and SF have had the two biggest reaches of the night!!!

AJ Jenkins............. Who?

OK, I'll remember this so I can say black=athleticism no brains. Promise you won't get offended if I do, K?

 

[crisper57]

SF = reach!

Plenty of starting OT's in the NFL were drafted in the trid round or even later.

 

[Dayman]

I like Jenkins, but not this early. I guess Stephen Hill wasn't as highly respected as some pundits claimed.

Cordy Glenn also looks like he's falling to the 2nd.

 

[Monty]

AJ Jenkins............. Who?

WR out of Illinois. Chopper on this board really liked him. I think this is a reach considering Stephen Hill is still on the board.

 

[WarnerHOF]

ok, moving on

Chopper liked him in the 3rd round.. not so sure he liked him at #30.

No brains? I almost never hear that call. I would say "character issues" is the better term.

 

[Monty]

ok ill say D. Martin goes here.

Nope not drunk and read quite well. My perception is just as valid as you claim yours is.
