*** Official NFL Draft Thread 2010 (Sooners Edition) ***

[ndpruitt03]

The Cowboys haven't had a real cover safety in a while I think AOA can do that in time.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Jonathan dwyer.. Stinkin asthma

[sooner59]

Gilyard in the 4th? That is a steal!

[sooner59]

Hell Vikings' pick Everson Griffin in round 4 is a steal as well.

[sooner59]

Norwood and Muckelroy great 4th round picks.

Is it just me or is somebody besides Al Davis picking for the Raiders?

They are making some good picks.

[sooner59]

Dom. Franks to the Falcons!

[ndpruitt03]

Franks teams up with Lofton in Atlanta

[sooner59]

I didn't think Clayton would go before Franks. But I think the message is "Stay in school kids".

[ndpruitt03]

I think only 2 more Sooners get drafted

Brian Jackson
Chris Brown

Eldridge could go in the 7th, but I doubt it.

Granger and English undrafted

[rawlingsHOH]

he was thinking 3rd, worst case.. he really thought 2nd

it was a super deep year for CBs. tough year to come out in.

[rawlingsHOH]

time for more draft!!!

Franks and Jackson.... Granger?

i don't think they could clear granger medically

[ndpruitt03]

John Connor to the Jets. <insert Terminator joke here>

[ndpruitt03]

Leon Washington to Seattle. Seattle just gave Hassleback a lot of help

[soonerloyal]

Someone tell me why Mack and Urban got interviewed, but Bob (with 3 of the first four draft picks coming from his team) didn't? Damn ESPN, anyhow.

I had an extra fuss left over from yesterday. Just thought I'd use it.

[ndpruitt03]

Brody Eldridge to INDY!

[ndpruitt03]

Mack Brown is one of the analysts on NFL Network

[ndpruitt03]

Kerry Meier to the Falcons

[Collier11]

OU with 7 guys drafted so far right

[Collier11]

Jason Campbell to the Raiders, Lendale White to Seattle...dont know if those two trades have been listed yet

[ndpruitt03]

Deji Karim from PC North just got drafted.

[SoonerMom2]

Mack Brown is one of the analysts on NFL Network

That just made me go back to ESPN. They just had on the Tampa Bay coach and everyone cannot say enough good things about Gerald McCoy. Tampa Bay coach is so happy to have McCoy. He going to represent OU well in the coming years.

[Salt City Sooner]

Dezmon Briscoe in the 6th round? My boys are having a pretty decent draft.

[rawlingsHOH]

Another Mel Kiper classic... Tony Pike, a mid-first rounder!

add it to the list

[ndpruitt03]

Only about 30 picks left and 4 Sooners left. Jackson, Brown, English, and Granger.

[yankee]

I know I'm lagging behind but the jpp kid the giants took will be the first pro bowler from this draft..

gonna be hard to get to the pro bowl behind justin tuck and osi umenyiora don't you think?

[ndpruitt03]

gonna be hard to get to the pro bowl behind justin tuck and osi umenyiora don't you think?

I think we could see them cut/trade Osi

[Collier11]

Umenyiora is in the doghouse in NY

[Collier11]

How did Selvie last til the 7th rd, that guy was a stud in college?

[Scott D]

because Selvie is a tweener that didn't have the higher end speed of a Kindle.

[Scott D]

and step, I think Ford as a mid round pick is a far less 'track star' reach than the abortion of a first round pick last year ;)

btw, does anyone want a Jamarcus Russell?

[Collier11]

Al Davis might trade Russell to himself for a 2nd rd pick

[Scott D]

lol nfl network having fun with the cameras now.

[JLEW1818]

cavs suck

[Salt City Sooner]

How did Selvie last til the 7th rd, that guy was a stud in college?
In addition to what Scott said:

2007- 31.5 TFL's & 14.5 sacks
2008- 13.5 TFL's & 5.5 sacks
2009- 9.5 TFL's & 3.5 sacks

Dude should've struck while the iron was hot, because it most definitely was hot after the '07 season. There was tons of talk about him back then.

[JLEW1818]

ya i remember his 2008 expectations

[Collier11]

Jlew is often referred to as a 'tweener'

[Scott D]

offenses schemed for Selvie after 07. I believe he missed time this past season due to injury or played with injuries hampering his effectiveness. That's part of the reason JPP's stock rose so quickly.

[Collier11]

Zac Robinson to the Pats

[Scott D]

and just for jlew...

Zac Robinson drafted and Jevan Sneed still on the board.

[E-Town]

[Salt City Sooner]

Since he lost his voice, Mayock's blogging instead:


Mike Mayock, NFL Network
121 -- Eagles -- LB Keenan Clayton

The Eagles just picked a LB from Oklahoma that I had as a late-round, draftable player, because he's a tweener between LB and strong safety. I think it's a little early for him to come off the board. They could have gotten him later. But he brings athleticism and a special teams mentality that will help the Eagles.


Mike Mayock, NFL Network
135 -- Falcons -- CB Dominique Franks

The Falcons finally get a corner. I really like this kid out of Oklahoma. He's a smooth athlete with natural change-of-direction skills, but only has average speed for a corner. My biggest concern is that he's a defensive back who doesn't trust his eyes, and because of that doesn't make as many plays as he should. But he does have all the tools to be a corner in the NFL.


Mike Mayock, NFL Network
162 -- Colts -- TE Brody Eldridge

The Colts just picked the best blocking TE in the entire draft. Eldridge started games at center, guard, tight end this season for the Sooners. In fact, he was an all-conference FB as well. He's nasty, he's tough and he will upgrade the Colts' run game and be a tremendous compliment to Dallas Clark.

LOL

[yankee]

since stoops the eternal pimp seems to be the board's draft expert so...what do you make of cincy qb tony pike? carolina drafted him along with clausen, so i gotta think that they think he can compete for the starting job. he was getting heisman love until his injury, but he came back strong after that and really put together a very impressive season. tall guy (6'6) with a strong arm, but he'll have to shake the spread offense habits.

[Eielson]

STEP, what do you think of Gilyard and the Saffold for the Rams?

[JLEW1818]

STEP prlly be eating Lamb Fries

[btk108]

Man...I would love me some lamb fries right now.....

Pike is tall but his frame is a little thin..pike IMO is a project.. Surprising arm but is awkward looking at times ala dan lefevour...needs to get motion zipped up and pocket presence isn't up to par with the other qbs..

In this draft that was full of 2s, I think he can be career backup..

Speaking of clausen, if Matt leinart hadn't been the way he was when he was drafted(didn't work hard, cocky), clausen would have been picked earlier.. And that's what 4 team scouts said to me.. Matt leinart, except not quite as good

[stoops the eternal pimp]

STEP, what do you think of Gilyard and the Saffold for the Rams?

I like gilyard as a college player.. Not so much as an NFL player.. He struggled a lot in the post season stuff working against solid corners.. Wasn't as fast as I thought....I just don't know how he is gonna create separation.. Hope I'm wrong..

I love the saffold pick.. Love it.. 1st round talent for sure.. He is tall, has good bulk, but has good enough feet to keep up with even the smaller fast de s...one of the best 1st steps of all the ot s

[stoops the eternal pimp]

that's pretty much was the scout text me and I posted a few pages ago Clayton.. I don't think Clayton will be seeing any time at safety..

Don't be surprised to see Eldridge at ls..

Dom franks.. When I get back to a computer I'll post and explain how Dom franks didn't hurt himself by coming out this year

[stoops the eternal pimp]

gonna be hard to get to the pro bowl behind justin tuck and osi umenyiora don't you think?

Pretty much what the other guys said..the giants didn't take him at 15 so he could be on the bench.. In 2 years he'll be better than either one and that's a big statement

[Eielson]

Do you like saffold even as a right tackle? I've heard he is better for the left side, but we already have Smith from last year.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Both can play either so they'll see what's the best.. Saffold can play right so that's not a problem

I'm still hearing there is some concerns for smiths health also.. I don't follow the rams but I know it's something the rams are worried about

[spatton713]

and you are wrong, watch again. The blitzed two guys at his side and he picked up the correct guy and then had to peel off and try to get the LB

ESPN.com

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/tag/_/name/2010-draft-analysis

Riskiest move

You'll think I'm crazy (as usual), but the Redskins choosing Oklahoma left tackle Trent Williams No. 4 overall is one of the riskiest moves of the draft. I agree that he has tremendous potential, but he's not a finished product at left tackle. Oklahoma State's Russell Okung would have been a no-brainer starter at left tackle from Day 1. Williams has more versatility and he's a better fit in the Redskins' zone-blocking scheme, but it's wrong to suggest that he's anywhere close to the "safest" pick in the top-10. If you want to know why I'm a little skeptical, go back and watch the OU-BYU game on tape. Sam Bradford remembers what I'm talking about.

[Collier11]

did you really feel the need to pm me the same thing you just posted in the thread? You are wrong, get over it

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Same for me..that same blogger you copy and pasted also says Bobby carpenter is great in covering te s in space.. So he already shows he s a way off..

A lot of guys really soured on Okung when they started really watching the tape. Said he had way too many misses. I didn't watch enough to now.

[Collier11]

A cpl of QB notes,

Broncos said today that Tebow was drafted to be a QB ONLY, we will see if that lasts

Holmgren said that Colt Mccoy will not play this year at all, still a good situation for him to be in

[hgarmorer]

Speaking of Tebow...
http://juicedsportsblog.com/2010/04/welcome-to-the-nfl-tim-tebow-now-get-off-my-tv.html

[cheezyq]

Speaking of Tebow...
http://juicedsportsblog.com/2010/04/welcome-to-the-nfl-tim-tebow-now-get-off-my-tv.html

I know we all have a bit of a media-based inferiority complex about our Sooners, and I try to avoid it as much as I can...but it just seems insane that all the coverage about this year's QBs are - Jimmy Clausen's and Colt McCoy's inexplicable and "criminal" free fall, and The Savior's drafting by the Donkeys. Nothing about Sam Bradford taken first overall, or 3 of 4 top picks by Sooners.

Just saying it seems odd is all.

[Eielson]

Both can play either so they'll see what's the best.. Saffold can play right so that's not a problem

Thanks.


I'm still hearing there is some concerns for smiths health also.. I don't follow the rams but I know it's something the rams are worried about

I know he was cleared to play for the final game, and I've heard the concussion shouldn't be an issue, but I'm pretty sure your source is closer to the organization than mine. I've heard that when you get a concussion it's easier to get the next one, so I guess that would be a concern.

[GottaHavePride]

Speaking of Tebow...
http://juicedsportsblog.com/2010/04/welcome-to-the-nfl-tim-tebow-now-get-off-my-tv.html


I don't, think, that guy, used enough commas, in, his bl,og.

[gaylordfan1]

I guess we have at least two maybe three more years of hearing about Tebow. Maybe he will prove us wrong..... maybe not! Regardless, he will be lead commentator of college football after he is finished with football... You can take that one to the bank!

[OK2U]

Austin English cut by the browns today, listed as an LB.

[BoulderSooner79]

Bummer. Austin was never the same after the broken ankle in the aTm game followed by the appendectomy right before the season started.
