Official 2008 Draft Night Thread...the future is now.

[rpa]

I absolutely hate how people whine about picks and say "he was projected in range XXX-YYY, WE COULD HAVE TRADED DOWN" when, not one hour prior, those same people are the ones saying that the guys doing these mock drafts that MAKE those ranges (the Chad Fords of the world) are complete, know nothing morons.

You can't have it both ways guys.


IMO the whole "he was projected to go later therefore we made a bad pick" mentality is downright (Please Use More Appropriate Word). Who gives a flying **** where a player is projected to go. And not only that but these projections are done by analysts who don't know dick.

I don't get it...why don't we make a play for players?! Trade up, trade down, DO SOMETHING. Obviously people are listening to Portland...

Maybe Petrie just doesn't have anyone available to trade that people want?

That's what I was thinking, nobody want SAR or KT, we are not trading Artest, Garcia, Martin, Salmons, Hawes, Miller, so it's comes down to Moore, Douby, or Williams.

CDR, DeAnder Jordan and Chalmers in the 2nd round.

[pillwenney]

There's a reason Jordan is falling.

[Ballings7]

I'd be very happy if we get a certain big man...

Dorsey

Hell yeah

Or Hendrix or even Hardin

We had the 12th pick, we could have easily traded down and picked up a future pick or something...

Maybe teams weren't to crazy about the 12th pick? Face it, after the 3rd pick this draft class has been a wash. There is not a lot that really differentiates the 12th pick from the 21st pick. There are no super-studs deep in the 1st.

Who the hell is JR Giddens?

He is the son of mr. and mrs. giddens.

[SactownHrtBrks8]

Thompson was 14 on Draft express, the best draft website on the NET and its a huge a stretch he got picked at 12, get the hel over it

[KF10]

I want to see mitch/BMiller's reaction to the pick (Jason Thompson).

[Ballings7]

Agreed. I dig the pick..

I am hoping he can become "tank" thompson part II

Oops, I forgot as a FAN you aren't allowed to DISAGREE with a team's draft pick. My mistake..I guess I should just forget my own feelings and agree with the crowd everytime.

[Smills91]

Jordan easily

[Smills91]

I want Chalmers and Hendrix at 42/43

[Joseph17]

I'm not surprised by this pick. Sacramento has had success taking great players from small schools in the past. Hopefully history repeats itself.

Its okay to disagree, but its not okay to whiny about it

Oh get over it.

And, yes, you can disagree with the pick as much as you want...and we have the right to point out why your complaints are pointless and boarderline overreacting.

There's a reason Jordan is falling.

There's a reason not take him in the first round there is no reason not to take a flyer on him in the second
