NFL Draft Day 1 (Audio)

[Om]

Color me marginally surprised ... if only at the inability of the screaming masses of media to ferret out the Skins true intentions and almost universally predict Okung. Beyond that, no problem here with the team taking the guy they rate as the best fit at LT in this draft. In fact, kudos to them both for masking their intent and not giving in to the temptation to wheel and deal for the sake of wheeling and dealing. It's a smart, professional decision and could pay dividends for them for the next 10 years.

Damnit man, I like the way you think.

 

[Boone]

Impossible to criticize taking a one of the best two OTs in the draft at a position of monumental need. Not sexy or exciting, but we've had plenty of those over the years, accompanied by precious little success.

Maybe Colt Brennan is the QB of the future they're going to groom You never know...

 

[servumtuum]

I'm gonna watch the rest just to see who gets who and maybe hope for some soap-opera stuff. It's been kinda boring so far, actually.

Finally.


I guess the night is almost over, unless what they're saying on the Viking board about Fat Al going up there for the 30 pick


I'd do that in a heartbeat

 

[Hog Fever]

I'd pull the trigger on that one too. Who do we target at 30 if that comes through?

 

[Aston Gambino]

You think they got offers? Just the wrong ones?

 

[servumtuum]

Allen has a rep for trying to get the absolute maximum value in a trade.

 

[Boone]

Wonder if Claussen is going to go shockingly late in this draft?

 

[servumtuum]

Boone, his stock took an unbelievable nosedive in the past 8-10 days. Amazing, indeed.

 

[Om]

You think they got offers? Just the wrong ones?

Yeah, I suspect there were some, but we will likely never know if any of them were really serious. If Shanahan really liked Williams he would have been a hard man to work a trade with ...

 

[Jimbo]

I certainly can't complain about the pick. It's a value pick and it fills a need. It's just a bit of a letdown from all they hype. Then again, the draft does this to me every year. Obviously, I need to drink more and mellow out before things kick off.

Did anyone else notice the blingy watch on Williams' wrist? A little showy for an Offensive Lineman but I'll try not to read too much into his love of shiny objects.

 

[Boone]

Whoa - Philly makes a move

 

[Boone]

Philly fans still booing that McNabb pick

 

[Pappas]

Williams' audio is up.

 

[Elephant]

I just woke up. What did I miss?

Williams? Watch Dallas take the next Pro-Bowl LT.

 

[Aston Gambino]

Brandon Graham vs. Trent Williams, bring it on.

 

[Boone]

Where the hell are you tonight John?

 

[Boone]

All the talking heads with mud on their face...
