2008 NFL Draft Open Thread

2008nfldraft_medium

After months of chatter, the time has finally come for the 49ers to hopefully take another step forward in their eventual return to some kind of glory. Over the past few months, the 49ers have been projected to take everybody from James Hardy and Early Doucet to Jerod Mayo, Gosder Cherilus, Quentin Groves and even Mario Manningham. So who will the 49ers end up snagging? Your guess is as good as mine. A perfect example of how crazy this whole prediction process can be is the fact that Matt Maiocco ran two columns, one on 7 players the 49ers would not draft and another list of guys who could end up as 49ers. The amusing part? Quentin Groves was on both lists. So really, the safest bet is to say they'll take everybody and nobody.

I think rather than say who I think the 49ers will draft, I'll put together a wish list of some options.  With those first two picks, I've made it relatively clear I want some combination of OL, DL and/or OLB.  I do not want a wide receiver.  Drafting wide receivers in the first round is just a formula for disaster, so consider me skittish.  Specific names you say?  Well Gosder Cherilus is on my radar, although either MM or Barrows made an interesting point.  A team wants an all-around good player and if a guy like Cherilus struggled at the college level when switched to left tackle, will that be an issue?  While he'd be the 49ers right tackle, his natural position, it still makes you wonder.

Beyond Cherilus, I certainly would have no problem with Quentin Groves, and I must admit that Calais Campbell has climbed up my radar.  A big ole defensive lineman would be nice, even with the addition of Justin Smith.  Campbell would be able to learn from a true workhorse and provide us with some great depth.  Jerod Mayo is a guy I could certainly envision alongside Patrick Willis, but we'll see where he ends up going.  I was involved in a mock draft with NBC Sports and when Cherilus and Groves went early, I figured what the heck, and drafted Jerod Mayo.

Alright, so as to draft day, I unfortunately will be in and out throughout the day and will not be pulling the insane live-blogging option, thus this open thread.  However, a few pointers now that we've got the new platform.  I think FanShots are perfect for draft day responses.  If we draft someone and you find a youtube video of him or a link to an interesting story about a guy, you can either post it as a comment here, or create a FanShot.  For those still wondering how to do them, click "New FanShot."  At the next screen, you need to click on video or link, depending on what you'll be doing.  If it's a video, you just need to copy and paste the embed information into HTML embed.  If you want to post a link, click on link and just follow it accordingly.

So we're rolling through 2 rounds tomorrow and 5 on Sunday.  I'll have tons of analysis and thoughts on the 49ers picks, although it may come later in the afternoon/evening.  Either way, I hope everybody enjoys the draft and has fun with the new site.  The automatic refresh of comments should lead to more discussion and hopefully things will be busy enough that I need to open a new thread or two.  Let's hope for some great things today!

The irrational Cal fan in me is still hoping for DeSean Jackson. I know he doesn’t fit on this team and he’s small but my gut says that he would at least be fun to watch. The rational part of me is hoping that we go with the safe pick and Cherilus is still on the board.

I’m just hoping for that embarrasing first round slip to some douche. Last year was my favorite. Suck it, Brady Quinn.

What highly ranked players in this years draft are particularly douchy?

Agreed. That was incredibly delicious. I don’t think there is anyone that is slated to go in the Top 10 that I would call douchey enough to warrant that kind of embarassment.

#2

Adam Schefter is reporting that St. Louis is taking Chris Long at #2. I think that has to mean ATL takes Glenn Dorsey then, unless New Orleans really comes up with a big offer to move up with ATL to get Dorsey.

Sure

But I think they’d be better off with Dorsey at #3 then waiting until round 2 or trading into the end of round 1 and grabbing one from the Brohm/Henne/Flacco group. Not going to get an impact defender like Dorsey at that point in the draft, but you could grab a comparable QB then.

I don’t think the Rams have a lot of good reasons to move from #2 right now (or rather, they’re doing a great job of making it seem that way), so the Ravens would have to give them some very good reasons… I can only imagine the bounty it would take.

Mooch says

It would take 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounders, which doesn’t sound like enough to me. He mentioned including a player. If I was STL I’d ask for 1st and 2nd this year and #1 next year…that wouldn’t be too bad though. If STL moves to #8 Chris Long could land in their lap still.

I've always liked Fargas...

But I get the feeling they just don’t believe in him over there—it took them forever to give him a real shot at significant playing time. Not that you have to hate your running back in order to like DMC better.

And the only thing Al Davis can still get hard for is speed.

Suggs

They would have a year to work out a long term deal. Probably a better situation then giving a hge contract to a Rookie at 2.

by enut21 on Apr 26, 2008 11:13 AM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That would be ideal I would think

Suggs gives you the pass rusher at DE they want, still young enough to lock up long term, plus you land another quality guy at #8. Hard to pass up I’d think.

They could get Suggs and Ellis at #8 instead of Long or Dorsey at #2. I would take my chances that Suggs would sign a new deal.

Keyshawn is truly an idiot

For so many reasons. Last year during the draft was priceless. When he was still technically on the team, he talked Steve Smith’s ear off about how he was going to “take him under his wing.” An awkward conversation. Then he gets the boot the next day. Awesome.

Pre-drafting draft picks

Am I alone in thinking that the league should ban the practice of deciding on a contract with college players before the draft? I know there’s nothing technically wrong with it, but it robs the draft of suspense and excitement. I think its going to get worse and worse every year too. Next year we might know the first five picks before the draft even begins.

Scoring question

HTS, I’m curious about a team like the Pats that traded back. I had them taking Rivers at #7, they took at him at #10. In the rules, Fooch said that it was 2 points for the right guy at that right spot, and his example is DeSean Jackson to Buffalo. Does that mean strictly team and player match for 2 points, or is it player/team/pick# for 2 points?

Yeah, scratch that part.

I meant to put in Mayo there in my question. But the question is the same. Player/team for 2 points or player/team/pick#? Mayo should net me 1 point I guess, but I’m curious about the other part.

Hmmm

My understanding was right team, right player, 2 points. Right team, right position, wrong player, 1 point. Right team, right side of the ball, .5 point.

Let me go back and make sure. That’s how I had it in my head.

Yeah

It’s just confusing language. As long as the Pats stayed in the first round, your prediction goes toward that pick. If a team gets an extra pick in the first round, your prediction goes toward their earlier choice that round (nobody has done it yet, so my making that rule explicit now does nobody any advantage at this point). If a team trades out of the first round, all the predictions for that team get scratched.

You would get 2 points if you pick Mayo to go to the Pats at #7 and they took him at #10 because of a trade.

Oh wow

I didn’t realize you included trades in your mock draft. We weren’t counting on that kind of dedication, The way I would rule it this second is that for your first KC pick you predicted Albert, but with KC’s actual first pick, they took Dorsey. So I don’t see that as any points, actually.

If that doesn’t seem fair, let me know why and I’ll shoot Fooch an e-mail for an executive decision.

There’s been mock draft activity we weren’t counting on when we made the rules up (for instance, predictig trades, or predicting by player order rather than team order), and we’re working out the kinks as they come up.

I did two versions mostly for fun anyway. I don’t want the front page post to be honest because I have no idea what I’d write about if I did win, but I do think that methodrampage and I should get some credit for Albert to KC, not necessarily 2 points but something.

That's how it's written

It’s trades that I’m asking about. The only mention of them is if a team trades out of the 1st round completely. I’m just curious if trading back changes anything or not. Say you had Mayo to the Pats at #7 originally, but he goes to them at #10. Does that still get you 2 points, or is it different since it’s at pick #10 instead of #7?

Sorry, that's the question I was trying to answer.

The answer is yes, you still get 2 points. It was just worded funny in the rules.

So I get two points for Albert here?

I had them taking him with their first pick but they ended up taking him with their second.

by methodrampage on Apr 26, 2008 1:45 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

As I said to gatling, I would rule against it right now because you predicted Albert as KC’s first pick of the round, and they took Dorsey with their actual first pick. You picked Merling for their second pick, and they actually took Albert with their second pick. Their third pick, if they don’t trade it, won’t count for anybody.

If you don’t like that, I’m willing to defer to Fooch. We’ve had some weird scoring stuff going on with some non-conformist mocks, so we’re adjusting as problems crop up.

My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.

by howtheyscored on Apr 26, 2008 1:54 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

ALSO

gatling made a good point that you should get some compensation for picking an exact player, regardless of whether or not the order was there. I’m leaning strongly toward 1 point, and if I don’t get any objections that’s how I’ll score this thing any time it crops up.

No, you were right the first time

they traded to 26 first, then back to 18. I’m guessing that they were concerned about a team like Miami, NYJ, or somebody else trading up in the mid 20’s for Flacco. They probably gave up #26 and one of the 3rds they got when they moved down to start with

I love Chris Berman.

Berman said NT

And my draft board says he plays DT, so that could likely translate to NT with his size.

only 308lbs

Your 3-4 DE typically run 290-300lbs. I think the Niners are trying to run a hybrid 3-4/4-3

Oh.

I don’t mind that. I really don’t.

First impression, but that’s how I feel right now.

Oh come on

If you were going WR, with EVERY WR still on the board, Jackson would have been an awful pick.

Agreed, and now it’s a very short pick for the 2nd round pick.

Most of the WRs

will still be available in the 2nd, Groves might still be there too.
