Title: 2011 NFL Draft Thread
Post by: Revolution on April 28, 2011, 05:26:50 PM
It starts in about an hour, and a half. Who's watching?

And just an update: It looks like the Lockout has been frozen, but players STILL cannot be traded for picks. What the hell?!

No renewed CBA, thus, monetary sums can't be calculated into draft trades.

I just don't care about football but...there may be riots in Charlotte NC. I was halfass listening to talk radio discussion of the Panthers drafting The Fig Newton... :loser:.... :whatever: Some want him, some don't...caught cheating 3 times, stole a laptop, took a bribe????...some say they already have enough of that kind of trash in Charlotte....

Seems all but decided that Cam is a Wildcat. Denver is being talked about right now.

And what a...erm..."reception" Goodell got. Wow...

We Panther fans are screwed.  This guy is gonna be worse than that dimwit QB from ND we had last year.

Clausen? Oh I think Jimmy has more potential, and could be better than "lights, Cam, action..."

Titans took Jake Locker. Might be sending a messge to Young, or throwing him under the bus totally. Could be releasing him...

Clausen?

Yeah, that one.  I'd rather that Pike be the QB.  He played well with the Bearcats his senior year, but I think they had Clausen slated in before the season started and everyone else was going to play second fiddle.

Panthers should have gone with a defensive lineman.

Oh well, I grew up in Tampa and had to put up with the Bucs and their consistent losing throughout the 80's, so I can do that again here.  Or maybe I'll start watching the Falcons.

Hahaha. You just reminded me of the Bucs. Their defense took a big hit when Aquib Talib decided to be a jackass. He's most likely going to the joint, and Tampa will eventually release him after this CBA crap.

Dolphins just got C Mike Pouncy. So much for the steeler's hope of getting Marcise's brother on their O-line. Should make the Fin's bad offense a bit better.

Wow.  I hope there's no Panther fans here.  And if there are I hope you don't mind the basement. 

Cam Newton will most likely be one of the worst overall #1 picks in NFL history. 

You thought Jamarcus Russell was bad?  Wait until you see Cammie take the field.

My Fins got Pouncey.

^ I smiled at that. I don't care one way or the other for the Dolphins, actually, but family blood carries the same ties. Excellent pick for you guys.

And I'd just like it to go on record that I think Cam will be a bust, but nowhere near as bad as Jamarcus or Ryan Leaf.


Tomorrow is the second and third round. Buckle up.  :-)
