Anyone else going to flip back and forth between the game and the draft?

Post #602 » by **TyCobb** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 10:43 pm

Me! I love the NFL draft. I don't even know why, as I have no favorite team.

lol oh come on there's got to be at least one team that you enjoy watching more than the others. You should be a Chargers fan, just so we can say we have one on the board.

Phil_2.0 is a Chargers fan I think. I used to like the Rams, but am just waiting till LA gets a team.

Who's that? You shouldn't have much longer of a wait, it's looking as if Jacksonville is going to be losing their team quite soon.

He's now known as Phil XI or something. Is that the team that it will most likely be? I'm digging the colors, so that'd be sweet. What? You don't pick a team for its colors?

Oh green font lol. More than likely yes, but late last year there was some talks of the Vikings relocating to LA too. Personally I'm hoping it's the Jaguars, they need a fresh start and a solid team to build around Maurice Jones-Drew. And nah I'm not a woman :lol:

Post #608 » by **TyCobb** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 11:19 pm

And I actually prefer the Vikings over the Jaguars. More purple and gold can't hurt.

Meh could care less it's all about the black and yellow lol. From a financial standpoint I'm hoping it's the Jaguars because Jacksonville is doing a crappy job of supporting the team although you can't really blame them. Maybe they'd start going to games if the team's chances at winning weren't so piss poor. Besides Vikings are better off, but I were a Californian I'd definitely want Adrian Peterson in a nearby stadium very soon.

Eggsactly. Although, MJD isn't a bad alternative either. I really just hope they name the team that's moving to LA soon so I can start following them religiously. 34 minutes till Gabbert goes #1.

Jetset · Post #611 » by **Jetset** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 11:38 pm

ha and nah Cam Newton will be the #1 overall pick although he's far from the best player in this draft. He isn't even the best QB but all indications point to him being the #1 pick, just too much potential to pass up.

Post #612 » by **TyCobb** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 11:41 pm

I think going #1 will be the worst situation possible for Cam Newton. There's no way he'll be able to live up to the expectations if he does, but we'll see.

Jetset · Post #613 » by **Jetset** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 11:51 pm

You're right Carolina will be the worst destination for him and his development but Carolina doesn't really have a choice. The fans has anointed Cam Newton as the eventual savior of the Panthers, if management doesn't pick Newton the fans will turn their back on the franchise. Plus if Newton pans out to be a good QB and Carolina had a chance to pick him and didn't that would be a major blow to the franchise. So basically its a lose, lose situation. I live in North Carolina and people around here cannot wait to get their hands on a Newton Carolina Panther jersey.

And there it is.

Post #615 » by **TyCobb** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 12:06 am

Ah, it's official. Good luck Mr. Newton.

Jetset · Post #616 » by **Jetset** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 12:08 am

He's going to need it because he's gonna let lit up with that horrible OL of theirs.

Jetset · Post #617 » by **Jetset** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 12:41 am

Arizona with a great pick in Patrick Peterson. Atlanta jumped up and got Julio Jones, that offense is stacked now

Post #618 » by **TyCobb** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 12:49 am

Atlanta trading up was ridiculous. Matt Ryan, #1 fantasy QB next year. Easily. And I knew Locker was going to be Top 10 pick, but wow, Titans, when Gabbert is still available?

Jetset · Post #619 » by **Jetset** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 1:07 am

Yeah that's a pick Tennessee is going to regret. Well looks like your future favorite franchise just got a good QB for the future.

Jetset · Post #620 » by **Jetset** » Fri Apr 29, 2011 1:20 am

I think the Falcons made a great pick. Their offense is stacked now. Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Julio Jones, Jason Snelling, Michael Turner. That is a prolific offense.

I'll agree Christian Ponder was a horrible pick at #12. He could've been had in the 2nd round besides Andy Dalton will be the better prospect.
