Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Gruden suggesting Jahvid Best. Regardless of who is picked though, he'll love it.

First of all, I do agree that I wouldn't have taken him that high.

Orton put up a 86.8 QB rating with the Broncos. That was better than Cutler had done with the Broncos the year before...... and it was Orton's first year in the system. So unless you think Orton is as good a quarterback as Orton, then you'll have to explain to me how had was more successful than Cutler was the previous year.

Cassel had an 89.4 passer rating under McDaniels, and a 69.9 passer rating last year. Granted, the jury is still out, but those are 2 pretty solid examples.

And Tom Brady had by far his best season under McDaniels.

You're losing me with the passer rating stuff. Orton's peripherals are pretty much the same between CHI and DEN.

But like I said, it wasn't a "free pick." It was the 25th pick overall and they traded a 2nd, 3rd (and dropped 5 slots in the 4th) to get it. McDaniels is definitely the guy to help Tebow. But if you really want a project QB they should have grabbed Snead or Pike later and used 25 on something useful.

Lions have done well with Suh & Best.

[Freed Roger]

Have had 3 beers. turned on the draft after a while - Steve Young is channeling Brett Favre. Gruden, Jackson they all look wasted. then it scrolls that Tebow is picked.

Man I'm wasted.

I've pretty much agreed with you twice concerning your last point. I think 25 was too high to take Tebow.

I don't know what you mean when you say Orton's peripherals were the same in Chicago as in Denver. I thought you said he was better in Denver because of Marshall. If his peripherals were the same, then why was his passer rating so much better in Denver. Orton and Cutler were pretty much the same quarterback when they played for Denver. Unless you think that those 2 guys are equal, then you'll have to explain why Orton did as well in Denver as Cutler did.

maurkice pouncey works for me.

I wonder if there is a relationship between how well your parents spell and football playing ability?

There have been a lot of strange picks and some really good players still on the board.

I don't like this only 1 round per night stuff, this primetime krap blows.

ESPN has polls on grading the picks. Tebow was an F. The rest are A or B.

Edit- Just checked and AluAlu or whatever was an F according to the poll and Matthews was a C.

I wonder if Brees is going to whip out his johnson and waggle it at the kissable Suzy Kolber?
