OK, I don't watch much NFL, but I thought this migt be a good thread for Tide Fans. Anyone interested?

 

[CrmznApklps]

Anyone think Jake Long should have been first? I'm thinking Dorsey.

 

[Tide Rev]

Long 2nd, Ryan 3rd, McFadden 4th and Dorsey to KC to help Brodie seems logical

ESPN had Huard still listed as one of the leaders on the team. Think Brodie will get some real shine time this year?

It may just be me but do they show someone from Bama getting killed one way or another every time they show a high light package of a defensive player from the SEC? Guess a few clips go a long way towards explaining what kind of decade we've had. :mad2:

It seems that this year may be his last shot to really show something.

lol. Hopefully soon it will be back to showing 1st round Bama players reeking havoc on SEC opponents instead of visa-versa.

Chiefs pick up a good guard in Branden Albert from Virginia. They were saying that they cant grade Croyle until he has some talent around him.

Good. I think Brodie needs a fair shake. He's spent is post High School career trying to do it on his own. I'd say poor kid, but he makes more money than I'll see for a while.:biggrin:

 

[CrmznApklps]

Wow. I missed it, but TROY had a player picked before us? Thank the Lord CNS is here!

 

[CrmznApklps]

Great to see Flacco go so close to home. Go Hens! (MY birthplace)

 

[Ugobama]

I'm absolutely dumfounded that KC was able to get Dorsey. I didn't think they had a chance at getting him, but apparently I was wrong. And then trading to get Albert. Maybe Brodie and KC have a chance this year.

I think the answer is simple. It's because the draftee's value wouldn't be as high if they showed him "reeking havoc" on teams like LA Tech, Western Carolina or Notre Dumb. So in a way we can actually consider that somewhat of a compliment.

Well, if you say so. At least thats a better way of looking at it.

Forget Shaun to the Titans... they just took a tailback in the first round.

And not that it wasn't a foregone conclusion but forget having a Tide player go in the first round once again.....

 

[rpeastep]

Looks like to me that they snap up the best juniors in the first three rounds and then after that take more chances on senior players from the lower divisions.

I guess we can see how far our program has fallen with CMS, Im glad things are changing now, but I still cant believe nobody got drafted. I think hall and gilberry were a lock to be drafted
