Official NFL Draft Discussion

  • Big Red Monster
    LenDale White has been traded to Seattle.

    To me Marty has showed Maturity and a prime example of coming from nothing, and turning it into something with facing some obvious hurdles and adversity. But I can see teams concerns too!
  • 77Legend
    Lendale to Seattle? I guess I see there vision, but I hope they also realize that White was a major contribution to Johnson's success. Let's see what Chris does now having to take on the entire load of carrying the rock.
  • Big Red Monster
    Aaron Hernandez (Florida TE) to New England.
  • Hb31187

  • Hb31187

    You're joking right? LenWhale had 64 carries for 222 yards last season.

    Damn Jets, has there been another team this stacked in the last 5 years? I know the my Steelers won SB 43, but they had weakness in the O-Line and DB's. Geeze.....

    I like Thad Gibson but how many outside linebackers do they expect to play?

    Woodley is still young, so even if Worilds is a stud, that's two.

    There is not a better general manager in the league right now than Mike Tannenbaum. He wins every trade he is involved in by a mile, as last year he anally raped Mangini (twice) for a franchise qb for a bag of spare parts and minimal picks, then got a pair of top line receivers for a 3rd and 4th round pick, as well as a lock down caliber corner in Revis for next to nothing. They have been smart in drafting (Shonn Greene) and have had minimal free agent busts under his watch.

    If I am a team and he calls about a trade, I hang up the phone as odds are I am about to get screwed without getting dinner or a kiss to show for it.:P

    Non....Maybe Gib plays more of the 3-4 DE because ours are getting old there. Or move a stronger Woodley down and being in Gib.
  • Non
    No he's too small.

    Only 6'2 240.
  • thavoice
    Agree..Wooldy wouldnt be a good 3-4 DE.

    Not a bad pick in the 4th round, pretty good value. He can run, catch, and can help out in the return game. It's not like they reached on him like they have on other speedy/workout warrior players in the past.

    Oakland has had some pretty good luck picking late round WR's lately with Louis Murphy and Chaz Schilens. Hopefully Ford pans out for Oakland. It'd definitely take the sting out of that DHB pick from a year ago.

    It's been a pretty sound draft for Oakland IMO. They get McClain in the first, Lamaar Houston in the 2nd, a potential steal at OT in the 3rd with Veldheer, and then they get some low risk-high reward players in the 4th with Campbell and Ford.

    They still don't have a QB. That's kind of worrisome considering next year's QB class is way down IMO. Locker, Mallet, and Luck look like the only ones who have any kind of potential at the next level.

    Gibson is an OLB in the NFL.
  • 77Legend
    Non...ThaVoice....Dwight Freeney is 5'11" at the most! Not comparing skill, just height. So how is Woodley too small?????
  • Big Red Monster
    Leon Washington was also traded to Seattle.
  • BR1986FB
    Jason Campbell to the Raiders?
  • Big Red Monster
    Oakland and Washington working on a deal that would send Jason Campbell to Oakland for 2 picks.
  • Big Red Monster
    Schefter says the deal will be done today.
  • Azubuike24
    Poor Jason Campbell.
  • Big Red Monster
    Kiper says he will be a Pro Bowl QB in Oakland.

    The trade is now official. Campbell is on his way to Oakland.
  • Mulva
    Campbell is the guy I wanted on the Browns. All he's done is get better and better, despite never being in the same system consistently.

    Oakland has dick at WR though, so I'm not sure how much success he could be expected to have.
  • BR1986FB
    A lot of trades going on with Pittsburgh re-acquiring McFadden. When will Shaun Rogers name be called?
