Dah-Dee Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I meant more that Beathard tended to trade down. His genius was finding gems in the later rounds. Give him three 3rds over a 1st any day.I don't recall him "trading future No. 1 picks for immediate aces." I do recall him trading down though... Right; 'next year's 1 for this year's 2 and 3.'

Dan T. Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 I was just thinking the other day how odd it was when I first heard of ESPN airing the draftI remember thinking "wtf, they're hard up for material"... Now it's a 'thing'. Almost as hyped as opening day. I wonder what the NFL Combine will look like in 10 years? Seriously- think about it. What did they do with the programming for the live coverage of the NFL schedule release? I wanted to watch that just to see how they would try to make that an exciting event, which raises the question, exactly how many crawls can a network fit onto one TV screen at a time before a viewer's head explodes?

headexplode Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 They should start having the crawls in 3-D. Each crawl could have its own sponsor, as well. There's really no limit. "The Draft Day Twitter Crawl, brought to you by Vagisil." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dah-Dee Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 PSA = Public Service Announcement. Yeah, but I couldn't find a relevant cat picture, "spa" was the closest I could get. Besides, everybody knows kitties are dyslexic. Sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt3d Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I was curious so I checked- according to the interwebz they started in 1980. Huh! I could have sworn it began while I was in high school. Oh well Oh it did, you were just 4 years old in HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I really appreaciate this thread. I mean I've seen so many different things I've reached the point where I wish the draft wasn't happening at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Closing in on 24 hours before the Detroit Lions are on the clock. The number of draft-related threads in the Stadium is up to 648. My heart rate is up to 135 beats per minute and my eyes are dilated. Last night I had a nightmare that Brian Orakpo tipped my refrigerator over onto my legs, so I took that as a sign that he'll be the Redskins pick. Then again, the night before I had a dream that I couldn't breathe because a shirtless Andre Smith was sitting on my chest, with a shirtless Jessica Alba lying just inches from my outstretched hand, so who knows what that means. My boss is sounding like Mel Kiper. My mailman looks like Vinny Cerrato. Please hurry NFL draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm being dead serious when I say that I had a dream last night where Mark Sanchez was gone by our pick and we selected Rhett Bomar in the first round instead. I sincerely hope Freud is wrong about prophetic dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
