Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 08:00 PM

There went Kalil!

Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 08:00 PM

Great GREAT value for Carolina!

Five-ofan · 04-28-2007, 08:01 PM

carolina is having an A+ draft.

Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 08:02 PM

Yes they are Five-O... Only Cleveland has had a better draft thus far.

Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 08:03 PM

The best OT in the draft.
ARGUABLY the best QB in the draft.
Top 5 talent DB in the draft, (pure talent only).

Cleveland will be much better factoring in the return of Bentley, Winslow and Edwards.

Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 08:04 PM

Do we take Mason Crosby???

Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 08:05 PM

You mean they don't have a first round pick next year?

james marten

dirno2000 · 04-28-2007, 08:41 PM

James Marten Scouting Report:

Strengths: Plays with a mean streak, works to the whistle and flashes the ability to sustain blocks. Gets adequate hand placement, has decent upper body strength and can lock onto defender's frame. Plays with a wide base and shows good balance as a run blocker. Takes sound angles to blocks, shows good range for size and can get into position at the second level. Has long arms, moves feet well and can ride defenders past the pocket. Possesses good lateral mobility, can change directions quickly and flashes the ability to counter double moves. Shows good awareness, keeps head on a swivel and can adjust to line stunts as well as blitzes. Possesses good size and has the frame to comfortably get bigger. Has experience lining up at guard and is somewhat versatile.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal explosiveness and has some problems beating defenders to the point of attack. Doesn't deliver a violent initial punch, doesn't roll hips into blocks and isn't going to knock many defenders back. While flashes good lower body strength doesn't play with great leverage and isn't a great drive-blocker at this point. Takes too long to get into pass set and is going to have problems preventing explosive edge rushers from turning the corner. Though flashes ability to anchor against bull rushers doesn't get great knee bend in pass set and can get pushed back into the pocket.

Overall: Marten arrived at Boston College in 2002 and was redshirted. As a redshirt freshman in 2003, he appeared in all 13 games while backing up Jeremy Trueblood, and started the Diamond Walnut San Francisco Bowl at right tackle. Marten became a fulltime starter in 2004 at left guard for all 12 games that season. In 2005, he once again started all 12 contests at left guard. Marten then moved to left tackle for the 2006 season, where he started all 13 games, earning second-team All-ACC honors.

Marten doesn't dominate the point of attack and one-gap defenders will give him some problems. On the positive side, Marten has enough physical tools to develop into a starter, including an excellent frame and above-average athletic ability for his height. That's why we believe Marten is underrated and warrants consideration on Day 1.

MavsX · 04-28-2007, 08:41 PM

who did the boys pick again?

sike · 04-28-2007, 09:04 PM

the ticket guys were just talking Crosby...I say give it a try in the 4th maybe

Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 09:07 PM

He should definitely be available then, but I can't imagine using a HIGH 4th on a kicker when we have a fairly good one on the team.

Maybe though...

have the boys expressed interest in keeping MG?

Male30Dan · 04-28-2007, 09:10 PM

I would think a contract to him would express just that.

I'm going to punch you in the face.

and you are going to cry.

didn't know we had him signed. (obviously)

LonestarROB · 04-28-2007, 10:10 PM

Spencer looks good in a cowboys uni.

ocelot_ark · 04-28-2007, 11:06 PM

Oh man, if the Cowboys somehow positioned themselves to land McFadden next year, that'd be fantastic. Nothing like your favorite college player playing on your favorite pro team.

Of course, I'm not sure DMac can make it through this coming season injury free. Nutt is going to ride him to the grave.

Can we please get a fucking playoff system?

jthig32 · 04-29-2007, 10:27 AM

We took a QB in the 4th? WTF?

Oh, is that the guy that is going to play multiple positions?

Locked_Up_Tonight · 04-29-2007, 10:31 AM

They should have kept Quinn.

Sounds like they're going to make him a WR.

FINtastic · 04-29-2007, 11:28 AM

It sounds like Randy Moss is about to become a Patriot:

I hope so because, from what I've seen, he's not a very good quarterback.

Murphy3 · 04-29-2007, 11:55 AM

He said that he'd be a WR on TheTicket. Apparently he runs about a 4.35 forty and around a 10.4 100m... He played some WR early in his collegiate career. Also drafted by the Orioles this past draft despite not playing baseball since he was a senior in high school.

It certainly sounds like he is an athlete. Let's hope he has an ounce of football talent to go with that.

dirno2000 · 04-29-2007, 12:19 PM

Looks like he may be questionable for training camp:

The standard recovery time for Lisfranc - the injury involves a fracture and dislocation in one of the foot's most important joints - is eight to 12 months. That would put the former UW quarterback back on the field in June at the earliest, but could keep him out until a month into the regular season. While Stanback just started jogging last month and has recently incorporated sprints into his daily workouts, he believes that the June target is a realistic one.

"My doctor says I'll be ready to do everything in June," said Stanback, who had three screws removed from the foot six weeks ago. "That's eight months (out from the surgery), and so far everything has been going real well."

Tarrell Brown is off the board

MavsWiLLHaVeRinGs · 04-29-2007, 12:28 PM

The Patriots are loaded next year. Moss, Kyle Brady, Donte Stallworth Wes Welker Adalius Thomas all weren't on the team last year and they were one half away from a Super Bowl.

I hate the Patriots!

I'm still not sure if even the Patriots will have what it takes to revitalize Moss' career. That guy just seems like he has gone off the deep end. It'll be interesting to see how long Belichek puts up with his crap.

The Niners trade a 4th rounder to the Seahawks for Darrel Jackson, filling one of their biggest needs for a small price.

Kirobaito · 04-29-2007, 01:52 PM

There's your kicker - Nick Folk out of Arizona.

In 2006, he was perfect on PATs and 15/20 on FGs with a long of 52.

I love that Yahoo actually has a highlight video for kickers.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/da...xZFN4bQklDubYF
Can this dude kick off?

And there's the corner...Courtney Brown, Cal Poly.

Male30Dan · 04-29-2007, 03:32 PM

Folk will very likely kick off and might challenge MG for the starting kicking spot.

Brown was a great value pick and it was nice to see them go there. Hopefully they go NT with their final selection.
