2008 NFL Draft Open Thread

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?
My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.
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.

And suddenly I don’t understand why I thought that Long’s stock had dropped. How could it have possibly dropped? He’s huge, he’s polished, and he’s got all the daddy stuff.

DeSean Jackson would certainly be interesting, but I’d really like to see the 49ers grab Hawkins later.

Could be a very nice pick. I have my reservations about Lavelle, but he did have a very nice year and he has a lot of things that the Niners should be looking for in a WR.

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.

mortensen is reporting
That the Ravens are offering #8 and Suggs to the rams for #2. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
suggs free agency
He’s only signed through this coming season I think…if the rams can resign him great, if not, such a good idea?

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.
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.

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.

It wasn’t really all that suspenseful last year either. I’m not really sure about banning it. I don’t really have a problem with it..

Boomer seriously?
“Last years first was the longest and this years could be the shortest.”
Obviously, teams only have 10 mins to pick and not 15.
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?
"You're a terrible ballplayer, but you've always been a great asshole."-salb918 on Ozzie Guillen
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.
"You're a terrible ballplayer, but you've always been a great asshole."-salb918 on Ozzie Guillen
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.
My Dave Righetti is better than your Dave Righetti.
by howtheyscored on Apr 26, 2008 1:39 PM PDT up reply actions
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.

then I just got 2 points for Albert to KC. Good to know.
"You're a terrible ballplayer, but you've always been a great asshole."-salb918 on Ozzie Guillen
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.

Well
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.
"You're a terrible ballplayer, but you've always been a great asshole."-salb918 on Ozzie Guillen
That sounds reasonable
I think that sounds perfectly agreeable. I think 1 point is probably fair considering you did pick an exact player.

I really like the suggestion of the interactive live mock for next year. That could be really cool.
"You're a terrible ballplayer, but you've always been a great asshole."-salb918 on Ozzie Guillen
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?
"You're a terrible ballplayer, but you've always been a great asshole."-salb918 on Ozzie Guillen
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 up reply actions
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.

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

Second impression
At the earliest signs of draft season, I was CLAMORING for a guy who could become a true Nosetackle. As time went on, it became clear that there weren’t many top tier guys who would have value at our pick who weren’t likely to go much higher. So I adjusted. I still wanted a NT in the back of my head, but I decided that for value, DE or OL (even LB) would be much better.
But looking at it, I had Balmer going a lot higher. A lot of mocks had Balmer going a lot higher. So we actually had a high tier NT fall to us, and we took that value. As long as Balmer is capable of growing into a true NT, I think this does more for our defense than any other pick might have potentially done. It creates a ton of flexibility on the DL, letting Sopoaga and Franklin play end more often, where I think they are more effective, and doing a lot to open rushing lanes for our LBs. We might see TBC and Lawson make more of an impact rushing the passer this year with Balmer (hopefully) clogging lanes the way he should.
-
This post is based completely on the assumption that Balmer can become a real Nose. If he can’t, then I just don’t know how I feel.

No, he's the most visible
because he makes the big plays. SD has one of the best DLs in the NFL. He wouldn’t be putting up those stats if he was playing behind scrubs that the opposing OL didn’t have to worry about.

Honestly though
Why do you think that Thomas is free to make the plays he does? It’s because NE has a crazy good DL, and the OL isn’t able to get to him to disrupt him.
Because he's that good.

Why do you think NE has been able to plug in whatever player 30 or older they wanted to at LB and still be successful

I'm not saying they're not good players
Or that you could just plug in some scrub and get the same production

Cohen and McDonald. Now we have a third in 2 years and still no pass rush.

McDonald showed promise, but nothing close to Seymour, they had a career backup, an aging BY and a greatly overachieving Douglass. The same TBC we watched all year put up pretty good part-time numbers with NE’s line in front of him.

As far as I know Balmer isn’t a true NT in a 3-4. He is a 3-4 end or a 4-3 DT. He will be in the rotation on our d-line and can play in the middle when we have 4 lineman. He is Tall so maybe he can add some bulk.
There goes Merling...

Maybe they assumed all the WRs were actually gone already….

The wide receivers are flying off the board now
Who will be left by the time it’s the Niners’ pick?

We aren’t taking one today, what don’t people understand about that.
We're in the hole!

It's the reverse-Erstad
Who as we all know must be a great first baseman because he was a punter in high school.

Now, I don’t have any problem with the team going OL while there’re still guys there, but this guy was never on my radar. I don’t know anything about him or how he fits with us.

Great pick for them. Awesome upside, and ridiculous value at this pick.

My roommate went to USC
He said Rachal is really young, haven’t looked him up yet.

Nolan
He also said its good to have 2 good quarterbacks, it would be better if we had 3 or 4. Is this some kind of cryptic message that we are gonna take a QB late in the draft?
Dixon Pls?
On top of just liking the guy, the dick jokes on this site would skyrocket.
