2008 NFL Draft Overflow Thread
It's been an interesting draft so far. Lots to talk about, and we haven't even had any Dolphins news yet. So be sure to continue talking about it below in the "live-updating" comments.
As for the Top 15 Challenge we had going, the final standings were:
Finnatic - 13 points
13FinsFan - 13 points
YatilGinnJr - 10 points
Yorke Hunt - 9 points
boss302 - 9 points
Number Seven - 9 points
Matty I - 8 points
Natalya - 8 points
Congrats to "Finnatic" and "13FinsFan" for tying in 1st place.
Things are going to be getting more interesting. So be sure to get involved below!
**UPDATE 6:57pm** First off, here's what we know. The Dolphins have drafted Phillip Merling, out of Clemson, with their #32 pick. Merling was thought to be a first round prospect, but fell after suffering from a "sports hernia," limiting his pre-draft workouts. He did say, though, in a conference call that he could practice next week if he had to. So his health shouldn't be a problem. He also said in the conference call that he envisions himself as a 3-4 DE, but could play OLB if he had to.
I think this selection means Matt Roth and Vonnie Holliday have been put on notice.
And here's a video of Merling.
We'll have more on Merling, and everything related to this weekend's events, in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins have indeed traded Lorenzo Booker to the Eagles for their 4th round pick, number 100 overall. I'm kind of disappointed in this, but I guess Booker wasn't this regime's kind of RB.
As for Jason Taylor, rumors are flying that the Dolphins have traded Taylor to the Bucs in exchange for Tampa's 2nd and 4th round picks, and possibly a 6th rounder in 2009. But this is not "confirmed."
**UPDATE 7:21pm** The St. Petersburg Times is now reporting that the Dolphins and Bucs may indeed have a deal in place for Jason Taylor, in which Miami receives Tampa's 2nd rounder (#52 overall).

Welcome to the first "overflow" thread of 2008!
This should reduce the lag that was occurring with over 500 comments in the first one.

Wow.....
I still can’t believe that Sam Baker pick….
by johnson2399 on Apr 26, 2008 5:34 PM EDT 0 recs
I guess with Cherilus getting picked early
and no other 1st round tackles available, they figured get him now before PIT does. But I don’t even know if he was a Steeler Target

just reinforces that taking Jlo #1

I wonder now if Dallas will take Felix Jones over Mendenhall
by Matty I on Apr 26, 2008 5:35 PM EDT 0 recs
Yeah
That would make the most sense here…and means no Jenkins…yet

Good stuff Matty. My browser crashed, and getting to the bottom of the thread took a while. I love this new system.

Thanks!
500 comments seems to be the limit for us so far in terms of the load times of threads.

I was wondering the same thing
If they do, Jones is really an Arky homer.

I think for Dallas
it’s running back first, then corner back…....

The Redskins got 2 2nd rounders from Atlanta in that deal.
Could one of them be part of a deal for Jason Taylor? Probably not. But it’s fun to talk about.

How smart does it look for Miami to have taken Jake Long now.
Because even the 2nd tier OTs are getting taken in round 1. That would have been a big mistake if Miami passed on Jake.
by Matty I on Apr 26, 2008 5:39 PM EDT 0 recs
agreed
was thinking the same thing myself… plus i was the guy saying they would get one of the holdoevers for RT.

Merling is the key
If you want Groves, the longer Merling is on the board, the better.
Let this season BE GINN!

And Groves/Jenkins continues to fall!
It’s like Plinko lol just fall to the right spot baby

The Titans better take Limas Sweed here for VY..
We already know what they can do together…..
by johnson2399 on Apr 26, 2008 5:45 PM EDT 0 recs
I agree
but all the wideouts are available.. So would they take Devin Thomas over Sweed?

32..
with the way this draft has developed, whoever it is, it will be a quality player that we may not have thought would be there.

OK OL is prominent and may be there are some reaches. Anymore trends I’m not seeing?

Are you kidding me?
We’re now on pick #25, and not a single WR has been chosen yet.

Didn't the Titans learn from drafting Chris Henry (the RB) last year?
OVerhyped speedster who isn’t as good of a RB as some thing.
