PrintIt'll be tough to match the fan frustration of the fourth round, but let's see if we can give it a run, eh? Only one pick this round: 5-13 (144).

Only one pick in the fifth so
I don’t think it can match. Unless we draft another TE

Let's try it again, Bob Johnson anyone?
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Who is having the best draft so far?
I take Seattle. Detroit second.

Dan Williams and Daryl Washington in the first two rounds? Excellent work, but needs more TE.

Unless you have to have someone, no one will be moving up. And, if that team had to have a player, why didn’t they take him already?
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

For those asking about Texans taking guard in the 4th, this is a kind of sucky draft for guards. Shelly Smith from Col.St later on possibly

Texans 4th-rd pick LB Darryl Sharpton is the nephew of the Rev. Al Sharpton. I’d like to meet the Rev. Hope he comes to camp. bq.
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

McManis has a nice blend of size and speed. Understands his responsibilities in zone coverage and does a good job anticipating routes. Closes fast when the ball is in the air and has the body control and hands to make interceptions. Hard worker who gives a spirited effort.

Here
McManis was a productive, three-year starter for Northwestern. He has a good combination of size and strength but lacks elite athleticism for the position. He runs well but lacks great quickness in transition and lateral agility. McManis has solid instincts in zone coverage but can lose leverage when in man schemes. He is limited at times in opening his hips to turn and run deep with top receivers. He isn’t an explosive athlete but shows range once he gets going. He is a willing run-support defender but isn’t physical and misses too often in space. McManis has some tools to build on, with decent return skills, but he lacks talent to contribute much as a rookie.
McManis has a nice blend of size and speed. Understands his responsibilities in zone coverage and does a good job anticipating routes. Closes fast when the ball is in the air and has the body control and hands to make interceptions. Hard worker who gives a spirited effort.
Lacks the top end speed to stick with receivers in man coverage. Is not fluid through the hips and struggles making transitions. Not physical enough in press coverage and likely will get pushed around by bigger receivers at the next level. Does not seek out contact in run support.
by AllenOU on Apr 24, 2010 11:36 AM CDT via mobile reply actions
tall corner with a great 40, Sherrick McManis will get noticed at the combine. McManis started for Northwestern and also did a good job as a return specialist.

I disagree
I’ve been up here since he was drafted and am continually subjected to Skins games.
He’s never had a decent line to protect him and his receivers have been more or less garbage. I’m not saying he’s a world-beater, but I think he could be a good, solid Rob Johnson-like QB if given the chance.

A bit of a rush after finishing a slice of Golden Corral pizza then running to get some steak, then ice cream. ALL FOR UNDER $10!
It also explains why we could never get a quality nose tackle under him
He kept trying to bulk up Seth Payne by feeding him Golden Corral.
Seth kept throwing it up.

Jags had 14 sacks all year, might as well throw as many potential solutions at the problem

There have to be some people
a little perplexed by the DL heavy draft…..or is it blind trust in a GM (like BRB has for a GM who loves TEs apparently).
"Lord, beer me strength."
Call it
Giving Gene the benefit of the doubt. Jags had the best rookie class in the NFL last year, unless he suddenly went to Al Davis draft school, Gene should know his stuff

It's nice to have bloggers from the opposing teams
that enjoy talking football and not being a BIGBLUE douche.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Yeah
I really think Gene just sat up in his box, watching Jax’s piss poor pass rush, then seeing them give up over 200 yards rushing in back to back games to end the year and said, “FUCK THIS, NEVER AGAIN”

Yeah
And no one’s arguing that Alualu is a bad player, just a “reach.”
Fixing the lines isn’t a terrible concept, but that does still leave Reggie Nelson back there….(sorry, it had to be said, heh heh)
"Lord, beer me strength."
Yeah
I was a real sad panda to see Morgan Burnett go just 2 picks before the Jags picked in rd 3

I don't agree that he's a reach on this alone..

Also
Got it on good knowledge Miami, Tenn, and NE all wanted Alualu in the first, so maybe that pick wasn’t so crazy

All you have to say is Tennessee
that makes the pick make a lot more sense.

Lane is great value at least.
Makes him unique.

I like Lane
but where’s he gonna play? They have a plethora of DEs and DTs.

guess you could say Kirk Morrison was the Jags “4th round pick”

Arthur Jones to Baltimore
They are robbing this draft blind.
- Rivers McCown, From Mom's Basement | Twitter
talk about robbing..look at the Seahawks
they now have young talent all over their defense and offense.

Yep, anointed them my best draft earlier in the thread.
Baltimore has done great without a first though.

too many corners now
half are either getting cut or moving to FS..
Glover Quin, Kareem Jackson, Jacques Reeves, Brice Mccain, Fred Bennett, Antwaun Molden, Sherrick McManis..
Sounds like the cast of some wierd foreign porno.

by riversmccown on Apr 24, 2010 12:17 PM CDT up reply actions
Someone has to back-up Pollard
Barber can play both FS and SS. He’s valuable in that sense.
"Lord, beer me strength."
they obviously are drafting to create competition
all across the defense but especially in the secondary…we’ll start camp with 10 DBs and cut it down to 6..
by leacheatsbabies on Apr 24, 2010 12:20 PM CDT up reply actions
6?
4-6 corners alone, and 3-4 safeties
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
6 CBs
4 Safeties.
Either way, our DBs need to be pushed. The position needs to be a lot better for us.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Can never have too many CBs
or D lineman I say

Brown and Tennant....
their back-ups could be a better line than some teams starters.

two TEs maybe..
to fill out our OLine and secondary..

Dwyer is still on the board.. could be a good value pick for teams needing RB
Die hard Texan fan from the heart of Denmark!
great pick by Eagles.. Riley Cooper is a great wideout
Die hard Texan fan from the heart of Denmark!
Jason Campbell now a Raider.
NFL Network Confirms there also seems to be a contract extension by Oakland.
Donovan Warren is a projected FS now because he runs so slow
he is still available..
and im surprised Reshad Jones from Georgia is still there and Myron Rolle and Kurt Coleman
Die hard Texan fan from the heart of Denmark!
Well there goes Jones

Warren was a projected 1st rounder at one point
I’d love him in the 6th. Him and Kevin Matthews.
"Lord, beer me strength."
We've got our corners.
- Rivers McCown, From Mom's Basement | Twitter
by riversmccown on Apr 24, 2010 12:27 PM CDT up reply actions
If he's projected as a FS...
why not? Not many other FS options out there.

Ah okay.
Keep losing track of these variables.

Don't blame ya
Even if he were a CB, that’s 1st round talent in the 6th round. Worth the pick, imo.
"Lord, beer me strength."
If we pass on him in the 6th i'll be sad
Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
before the combine Donovan Warren was a 1st round CB
Now he’s slipping to the 5th-6th

Re: Oakland
FO_ASchatz
Rough estimate: Replacing Russell with Campbell improves OAK’s off DVOA projection by 16%.
That could make them frisky.

yes, yes he did

Al Davis must have woken up for the 4th round and went right back to sleep.

Jamarcus will be a Free Agent soon.
We can totally convert him TE, you guys in??
more like DT

9 picks
thats a decent amount for Mcmanis..and he’s projected as an FS..maybe he’ll have enough quickness and ball skills to ballhawk.

Sylvester Stevenson off the board
Was kind of hoping he’d quit football and join the Baylor basketball team.
/is reaching for jokes like the Texans for undersized under tackles.
- Rivers McCown, From Mom's Basement | Twitter
I've liked Sylvester...
and if Dick LeBeau agrees then I’ll put 1 on the scoreboard for me.
"Lord, beer me strength."
they take the under tackle name too literally
it doesn’t mean get “tackles who will get plowed under lineman”
