2011 NFL Draft Thread

I think Bowers becomes the Panthers top choice now.

[rawaction]

I honestly think this has as much to do with the Panthers holding the top pick as anything to do with labor issues. Nothing to base this on really, but I could see Luck wanting to be in a different situation than Carolina's.......

 

Why not pull an Elway or Eli and say he doesn't want to play for the Panthers then?

[Guest]

There was always a good chance he'd return but I'm still surprised.

 

He'll get drafted high even if he gets hurt a la Sam Bradford. In the end, going back to school worked out for Peyton Manning and Bradford.

Well crap. The Titans had no chance at Luck obviously, but Luck being in the draft could push every other QB down a notch if the Panthers still take a QB. If they don't, then this has no effect on the Titans.

He'll get drafted high even if he gets hurt a la Sam Bradford. In the end, going back to school worked well for Peyton Manning and Bradford.

 

Any chance a team tanks to get Luck next year? If he even comes out then.

Excellent early look at the draft can be found here.

Maybe I missed the boat on this but does da bum work at the same page as Kyle?

 

Kyle doesn't work there anymore. They forced him out once da Bum's services became available.

 

How is this not a bigger story? Where was the public outcry?

There was a feature on the local news about it, but tragically most of Kyle's fans get their TV on their computer, so they weren't able to respond.

Is Kyle a bellhop now?

I don't know about that. There were rumors he'd stay for a while - before Carolina locked up the #1 pick. He's a bright kid (and clearly he values education a bit if he's going to Stanford) a year away from graduation.

If Carolina still takes a QB they're run by GD morons

[hawkeyecub]

Well that sucks. The Vikings might be looking at having to take Devlin in the 2nd round now.

This is the best day of Blaine Gabbert's life.

Yeah, as I was typing that it hit me they probably wouldn't take a QB now. That's why I added the last line.

[Jon]

JJ Watt declared.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'd look to trade that #1 now, but the haul's probably a whole lot smaller without Luck.

I'm sure they would love to trade down now. As deep as this draft seems, it doesn't feel like there is a true #1 pick.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

JJ Watt declared.

was he crying when he did?

[hawkeyecub]

This is the best day of Blaine Gabbert's life.

 

And another awful day for the Carolina Panthers.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

My guess is Carolina takes Bowers or Green. Peterson could be an option too, I guess. Fairley...maybe if he has good workouts at the combine.

[dew1679666265]

Teams probably won't have nearly the incentive to trade down now. The return would be much smaller.

im hearing travis lewis and ryan broyles are coming back

 

lewis kind of sucked this year, but it never hurts to have experienced LBs back and Broyles is our most capable receiver at catching our cheap little screen passes.

Congrats on the national championship

Assuming UCONN makes it as well
