[QUOTE=SmootSmack;444678]Stewart finished 38th. The big wreck started with Labonte I believe. The one that ended TS' day[/QUOTE]

BTW, how do you remember everything about people? Like the fact I was a 2nd team all american soccer player among other things????

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

i'd offer the dolphins a 4th rounder next year for jason taylor,and see if they went for it.he is not a long term answer,but he could play her a few years and help while waiting
for such a player.

[QUOTE=Redskin Warrior;444686]Hold on I know I'm a little late with this but I must have missed something I swear we had two 3rd round picks? Where did the other pick go we didn't trade up?[/QUOTE]

It was traded away when we got the 2 2nd round picks.

That would be an absolute steal!!!! I think we would ALL be on board with such a deal.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Here we go...a future Hall of Famer

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Whatta you know, a DE. Never heard of him though. Robert Jackson>

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Wow a DE!!!!

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

6-3 265 lbs 4.85 They say he has a good motor but needs to add bulk.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

ESPN and NFL.com both don't have any profiles on Jackson, sorry guys.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

That means he's a no namer....man that sucks.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Damn! Miami just took my pick.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Never heard of this guy...but hey, it's not hard to make our roster as a DE, we are weak. Hopefully he will surprise some people.

Seems like a poor-man's Chris Wilson to me. But check out the projection

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Another WR drafted by the Bengals. Just what CJ was complaining about.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Is Darrell Robertson still available???

LOL hopefully that projection was a typo

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

what about Ali Highsmith is he still available? Would Definitely be a steal if we got him with our last pick

[quote=Mattyk72;444704]ESPN and NFL.com both don't have any profiles on Jackson, sorry guys.[/quote]

Sporting News Draft Guide says:

Strengths - Never stops hustling and loves the game. Shows good all around skills. Is quick and agile. Gets back into plays even when blocked initially.

Weakness - Lacks elite physical qualities in any are. needs to work on lower body strength to become a solid run stopper. must improve ability to fight off blocks and and learn to read plays better.

Bottom Line - Jackson, a junior college transfer, was a solid pass rusher in the big 12. He is ideally suited to be a back up DE in a 3-4 scheme but must add 15 -20 lbs for the role.

If he was a projected second rounder, than this is the steal of the draft. I don't know if I believe that though.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

we have drafted a lot of former juco guys

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

probably meant early seventh. whoever said he sounds like a poor man's chris wilson, if thats the case then we are in a sad, sad state

[QUOTE=Soup's Uncle;444721]If he was a projected second rounder, than this is the steal of the draft. I don't know if I believe that though.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that can't be right or someone here would have heard of him before now.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

here we go our last pick...

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

and our last pick is Chris Horton UCLA

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Chris Horton, Safety

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

[quote=Big C;444724]we have drafted a lot of former juco guys[/quote]
I was thinking the same thing. Not neccessarily bad, shows a desire to rise up to the next level.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

another safety good pick i guess

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

I don't have anything on this guy.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

and that's it folks...1 D lineman...1 O lineman...sad

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Immediate thoughts on the draft?? (Shooting from the hip of course).

[quote=AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace;444737]and that's it folks...1 D lineman...1 O lineman...sad[/quote]

Hey there's still the undrafted crop to sift through. Remember we found Heyer that way.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

not as many linemen as I had expected.... I thought we would cop a linebacker as well

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

[QUOTE=AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace;444737]and that's it folks...1 D lineman...1 O lineman...sad[/QUOTE]

Don't forget about the June 1st cuts. We may have some people in mind.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

[quote=Mattyk72;444743]Hey there's still the undrafted crop to sift through. Remember we found Heyer that way.[/quote]

agreed... initially think we did a good job until maybe the brennan pick.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Mr. Irrevalent to the St. Louis Rams: David Vobora/LB/Idaho

It's a wrap folks

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

I like that we drafted positions of need for a change, I'm just not sure we got all the right players in those positions. I would have to give this draft an overall grade of B-.

Hopefully we scarf up on some decent UFA's

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Rob Jackson is my new favorite player. If we waited till the 7th round to draft a d-lineman than this front office must know exactly what it's doing. He's my new sleeper candidate for this season too lolol.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Solid B+. I think we have some quality talent for the future.

Re: The official 2008 draft discussion thread
 

Wow, Jaws just gave us some props and listed the Skins as his winning team of the draft.
