2008 Draft Second Round Thread

Ray Rice to the Ravens

Jenkins will be the 3rd or 4th CB this year. I like him and he'll turn out excellent, but not now. Jones probably won't do much outside the return game. Pacman might not even be reinstated. Dallas gave up a LB and TE for a 4th rounder. They haven't gotten significantly better in the short term. Long term probably.

King Cole, it's mandatory as a true Eagles fan to never say anything nice or positive about the Cowboys..

You really think they will keep him out another year, has that ever been done before ?

In the past I would agree, but after missing the playoffs 2/3 years, enough is enough.

I don't see how any Eagles fan could be disappointed today.  It looks likes Lito is staying, they picked up an extra #1 next year, added depth at DT, and added an electrifying return man.  Not to mention Jackson could be used as a deepthreat on offense.

I'll go on the record right now that I like what they've done so far.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I like it too.

I like the 1st round trade out because CAR's #1 next year could be pretty good. They got a 1, 2 and a 4 to move out. Washington had to give up picks 2 spots later to move down.

I was mad at the second trade out but getting Laws and Jackson is pretty good.

I'm not as mad as I once was, but basically it comes down to this:

Curtis and Brown are still our starting WRs. Maybe I was delusional in thinking Devin Thomas would come in and be a major stud or we could trade for a vet WR. But that is what I was hoping. I wanted Devin Thomas at 19.

Some guys that fell to day 2:

QB = Andre' Woodson, John David Booty
RB = Jamaal Charles, Steve Slaton, Mike Hart
WR = Early Doucet, Mario Manningham, Earl Bennett
DT = Pat Sims
LB = Dan Connor, Ali Highsmith, Xavier Adibi
CB = Justin King, Reggie Smith
S = Dajuan Morgan

[Geowhizzer]

Is King Cole channeling the spirit of the absent igy?

[The BIGSTUD]

I like Connor, Manningham, Bennett as 3rds for us.

[troyhstewart]

Somebody needs to post an updated list of the rest of their picks. ED?

[shorebird]

Wow, Wide receiver Jordy Nelson, Kansas State, a projected late third or fourth rounder gets picked in the second by the Packers. Damn.
