LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 BTW, the Eagles getting Matt Ware at the end of the 3rd is an absolute steal. As is the next pick with Atlanta getting Matt Schaub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 My Bills got Losman from Wisconsin who is a very small reciever at 5'10. I don't know of any good recievers that small besides Dante Hall. Heard that hes fast but think Buffalo should have picked up Will Smith.Also we traded w/the Raiders and picked up a pretty good QB from LSU, from what ive heard hes not bad and he did beat my Sooners in the championship. Any news about these guys let me know. Losman is a QB from Tulane, they got the draft pick from Dallas.http://sports.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft04...r/team?team=buf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 My bad. Tulane, not LSU. I think that Losman or even Schaub could be as good or better than Rivers. And who knows how could big Ben will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 2048 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 This is something that's bothered me for a while. Why does the first round of the draft take so damn long?Also, what's the ratio of picks who make to picks who don't? Is it a crapshoot like the NHL or is it a pretty sure bet that first rounders will play? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 The NFL has the NCAA to help weed out the bad players but mistakes are made all of the time. The NFL is drafting players 3-4 years later than the NHL so they have a better idea how the player will perform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 Because of the amount that they pay 1st round picks, it's a good bet that they'll get a chance at a starting position within their first two years in the league. Most 1st rounders do get a decent amount of playing time, but there are plenty of busts who barely lasted a full season.The first round takes so long because of the amount of trades that are made and how important the first round is (a lot because of the talent that's available in the 1st round and a lot because of the salaries a 1st rounder commands, so teams have to be sure).

LegoDoom 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 How do the Eagles take another OL when there are still some pretty good WRs on the board. We need LB and RB depth as well. Yuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
