Draft Weekend Chatter Thread...

[data]

I didn't see the War Room reaction because I was running errands when they made the pick. Were they high-fiving like retards who just pull one over on everyone? You know, kinda like they did when they drafted Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, or Jason Williams, or Isaiah Stanback, or David Arkin...ad naseum?

Not as much hi-fiving. Some clapping. Reserved celebration in comparison to year's past.

Jerruh just hung up and Stephen's on phone with someone else. They're probably talking to two different teams.

Get used to Hitchens because that stiff will be starting when Sean Lee goes down.

Ah. The quiet, cool confidence of knowing you just stole a 7th round/UDFA type in the 4th round. Wait...

According to nfl.com only Nevin Lawson taken by the Lions at 133 is worse than Hitchens so far.

The maddening thing is that there is still talent out there.

They will tease us with the idea that they can salvage this draft which basically looks like a two guy draft at this stage.

Dakota Dozier gone to the Jets.

That is generous. At least Lawson was in the top 300 of any list I can find.

 

[ravidubey]

Watching any further is all but pointless.

Will McClay has been shaking his head a couple times, so there's that.

...and Stephen is back on the phone.

 

[ravidubey]

A giant space eater in Dan McCullers (6'7" 352) is still out there, and we take a pipsqueak special teamer. So much for the planet theory.

Dude. TheTicket laughing because they were trying to figure out who Hitchens spoke to. Hitchens said he never spoke with any coaches, only scouts.

TheTicket just said that Spaulding spoke to Hitchens at the Senior Bowl.

You fuck, you are lying.

I don't know if TheTicket was f'ing around, but they were laughing their ass off talking about it.

Even started saying that the kid gets made fun of too much because of him being in the war room. Asked about how old he was - 14, maybe now 16.

i hate this team's management

This was a scout pick.

I hate the whole organization as a result. I used to at least make myself feel better thinking it was just organizational red tape and Jerry that was holding us back.

Not anymore.
