Official 2010 NFL Draft Thread

The draft is most certainly not a crapshoot. The teams who consistently draft well show up every year. It's the same as in baseball.

Clausen hasn't proven anything yet. NFL GM's have proven they aren't as high on him as I am though. We shall see, as they say.

My Phins had another meat and potatoes draft, to go along with the acquisition of Marshall. Should be a fun year following it all...if you hit on half your draft picks, you've fared great!

It is absolutely a crapshoot. In craps, if you aren't playing the odds correctly, you are losing. I could say it's a game of blackjack but then I would be creating a new idiom.

Anyway, you proved my point.

I did not prove your point...the best teams, that do the best job of identifying fit for their scheme and accentuating the players positives do the best.

Do you really think you should have better odds? Thee are only 53 spots on a team, if all 7-10 of your team were making it each year, you'd be having hella turnover.

I stand by my belief that it is nowhere near a crap shoot. Luck with circumstance and injury plays into it, but the best do the best.

If Marshall can just shut up and play football, you all may have something in Miami. Unfortunately for you, it's still going to be tough going against the Jets...God that defense could be unimaginably good.

Very pleased with KC's draft. I think this year is the year we find out if Dorsey/Jackson are going to fit in this scheme...hopefully claw toward .500 this year and get over the hump next year. Hell, in the AFC West, .500 could win the division this year.

We swept the Jets last year. Have they improved marginally more than the Phins have? I don't know that they have.

Offensively, no. Defensively? It's possible. I think this is the first time in the 2000's that I've looked at the next season and fully expected at least one team to finish ahead of New England in that division. It's refreshing.

I honestly think the Jets hype could come crashing down. They've added a corner who wasn't any better than Lito Sheppard last year, and a first round nickel back. They've added a clearly aging Jason Taylor, and lost a very good free safety in a gambling defense.

They put all kinds of pressure on you, but had everything go right just to make the playoffs, and I'm not sure how improved they are overall.

I forgot about them losing their safety...Faneca is a pretty big loss for them on the offensive line as well. I guess I'm assuming a lot when I say that their offense should be much improved this year. Like I said, I really like the offseason the Dolphins put together this year. It should be a good season in the AFC East.
