2008 NFL Draft Open Thread Part III
It is going to take me a few minutes to gather myself to put together a post on Chris Johnson. I am pretty much in shock with that pick. He does help the Titans in the running game, and in theory he is the perfect compliment to LenDale White. He is the only player on the Titans who has the chance to take it to the house every time he touches the ball. More on that later...
Back to the open thread
5:00- The Seahawks trade the pick to the Cowboys who select Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
Why do the Cowboys need a corner? They just acquired Pacman Jones.
5:06- Duane Brown, OT, Virginia Tech to the Houston Texans
Mel Kiper loves him, but I have never heard of him.
5:10- Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona to the San Diego Chargers
I would have rather had him than Johnson.
5:16- Lawrence Jackson, DE, USC to the Seattle Seahawks
Good call by DonFrancisco
5:19- Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
Balmer would have helped the Titans.
5:28- The Packers traded pick #30 to the Jets who take Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue
Keller is the best tight end on the board. That is a pretty good pick.
5:34- Kenny Phillips, S, Miami to the New York Giants
This is a good value at #31. He is the best safety on the board and could make a Michael Griffin like impact.

Pacman trade isn't a done deal yet, is it?
I think Pac HAS to sign the contract today
if it's any consolation
Worst pick of the draft?
Chris Johnson had like the 2nd fastest
I really think Henry's PED suspension scared the hell out of the coaches because all he was before the draft was a work-out warrior.
wow look at that
i don't mind not reaching for a WR
but 2 2nd round and 1st round pick on RB in 3 years?
Henry = bust ?
i would've loved it if that 1st was Mendenhall
white's

Let's all just....
Exactly
NOT a single top WR is even gone yet and we are at the 30th pick!
So why not take a Johnson! man could be HUGE for us!
I think...
AGAIN, the difference between him and Henry is that he played and produced in college....produced big time!
hopefully this is like the griffin
not many people liked the pick last year but he is a great player for us now
OK, so he's apparently an insane kick returner
first round though?
Here we go
Time for us to trade up.
Let's get Sweed or Jackson.
OR... Calais Campbell
