NFL Draft Thread

Former Duck Chris Harper goes to Seattle so they can finally cut Golden Tate, lol.

what

I'm not a fan of Golden, at all. I know he's not going to be cut but I don't like WRs with the "showtime" attitude who lack the game to back up all the talking. He'll make a 4-yard catch, drop the ball in front of the ref and do the thumb-point to the name on his jersey.

GB signs Rodgers to a massive deal and nobody is surprised their draft is mostly offense. Franklin should do well for them.

I thought this was funny..................typical Barkley. P.S. Chip's gonna kick your ass and you're actually going to have to put some work in.

@InsideUSC: QB Matt Barkley: ``I'm going to remember this weekend for a long time and so are the teams that didn't draft me.''

Some guys just don't get it.

If Barkley wins the starting position this season, it will show a lot more than vain posturing on a social media site.

If he can't push the veterans hard, at some point this season, that could well show just as much, in a negative fashion.

It will be interesting to see if he tries to be a "hold-out", or signs a contract before camp, so he can start proving his mettle.

Imagine his frustration should he find himself mired behind Vick, Foles and Dixon? Ouch!

Fixed. That's a whole lot of nothing to get worked up about.

Way to go Baalke, Lattimore is going to be a beast in 2 seasons.

Love the Franklin pick for the Packers. Kinda was hoping they'd snag Barner, but I think Franklin could be a nice pick.

Rookie wage scales means this doesn't really happen anymore. He's not a perfect fit or player by any means, but I guess because he's with Chip now I'm ready to give him the benefit of the doubt that he doesn't have Sanchize or Leinart syndrome. Also, most Eagles fans think this is writing on the wall for Vick as its unlikely Chip will carry 4 QBs on the roster as I don't think any NFL team carries 4.

Must be the green and yellow.

[Duck07]

Shoelaces goes to Jax.

[Duck07]

Way to ruin the draft ESPN. I know he's "taking" online classes but this definition of student-athlete is absurd.

[Duck07]

His knees must have some real concerns but Jesse Williams from Alabama has been compared to Star and if his knees hold-up, would be an amazing replacement for Alan Branch. Watching SF vs SEA is going to be real fun for the next decade!

[rockthief]

Chip is going to help Barkley adjust his attitude and his physical fitness. I am curious to see how this pans out with Dixon on the roster. I hope DD's knees are okay - can't help but to cringe. Anyway Vick is probably gone so how will Chip use Foles, Dixon, and Barkley?

[Duck07]

Chip's 5th pick is Earl Wolff, S, NC State. Never heard of him and I'm not going to act like I do. I did read a Garret Gilkey article and would love to see him in Sea, Phi or Balt, lol.
