Draft part 2
Mehrt: Vikes on the clock.
Nyne: And after that, the Pats - already Jets fan is booing.
Mehrt: Vikes pick is in, they probably saw the Pats symbol pop up. Percy Marvin WR from Florida
Nyne: ...do I make my Percy Harvin pot jokes now or later?
Mehrt: If he stays clean, he has game, but this, as Berman is saying, is Minnesota, who cleaned out a lot of, let's say, junk.
Nyne: They haven't had a sex cruise in a minute or two...
Mehrt: Pats on the clock. But wow, I'm shocked by this one.
Nyne: I told you the boat incident would come up! *points to Trey Wingo*
Herm Edwards: "You better have a good body or fender man with Percy Harvin...anything he drives he has the potential to crash..."
Mehrt: I don't know, this is odd. Drafting a guy who's automatically in the substance program? They better be sure, because this could turn out real bad for the Vikings.
Nyne: What, he should have gone to Cincy? *grins*
Mehrt: Let's talk NE. They fell to the curse of the Super Bowl loser, but they won 11 games in doing so. Where do they go?
Nyne: *mutters* Far, far away. *still bitter* Aaand they've traded their pick to b'more.
Mehrt: Nowhere apparently, they've traded. Ravens on the clock. Ravens only needed a piece or two, they were right there last year. Offensive pick here, has to be.
Nyne: You'd only hope.
An OT. Hmmmm....
Mehrt: Michael Oher, OT. What a story here, homeless to the NFL.
Nyne: Wow, no foolin'. *didn't know that*
I never thought I'd hear the words 'franchise' and 'Joe Flacco' in the same sentence.
Mehrt: Nice.
Nyne: And...he sounds like Fiddy. *giggles*
Mehrt: Falcons on the clock. And yeah he does a little bit. I hope he does well, if you haven't heard this story, look it up, it's inspirational.
Nyne: *wikis*
Mehrt: And now we have the Falcons. Who have an interesting off season. They will end up faced, if the commish allows it, with an interesting decision involving Michael Vick.
Nyne: I wouldn't want Michael Vick if it was a choice between him and Joey Harrington.
Mehrt: They take DT Peria Jerry, Oher's teammate. But with the prevalence of the Wildcat formation, it becomes an interesting dilemma.
Nyne: How so?
Mehrt: Miami on the clock. Speaking of Wildcat formation. Vick is the ideal QB for that formation with his athletic ability. And we all know that Goodall has been soft with second chances.
Nyne: yeah, but...*wrinkles her nose* I want to say that Vick might have lost a step from being in the hole for all that time.
Mehrt: Maybe, but it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't. There'll be a team that'll take him if the Falcons decide to get rid of him.
Nyne: If Atlanta doesn't get him, where else might he go? And if you say the Bucs, I'm gonna smack you.
Mehrt: Oakland, Al Davis is definitely monkey see monkey do
Nyne: And Miami picking up that cornerback [Oakland! ugh!] is a very good idea.
Mehrt: If that is the pick, hasn't been announced but the TV certainly would suggest. Yup Miami takes Vontae Davis, Was a very big hole for the AFC East champs last year. And that's an odd thing there, Miami AFC East champs.
Pats back on the clock. Pats got a fifth round pick for dropping to this spot.
Nyne: ...and they want to trade [down].
Mehrt: They may know what the Browns know. But this is always their way. Get more picks, for the next year. How do you think they've picked near the top the last few years?
Packers have taken the pick. They're on the clock.
Nyne: Dum dum da, da DUM DUM DUM...GO PACK GO!
Mehrt: And they take Clay Matthews. More D
Nyne: GO PACK GO! *sings along* You can never have too much D.
Mehrt: True enough. Colts on the clock. I'm very interested to see where they go here. With Dungy's retirement and Harrison gone, could they go in a new direction?
Nyne: ...Iunno....you can't argue with what works.
Mehrt: Here's the pick. It's Donald Brown a RB. Maybe a bit of a change in philosophy here.
Nyne: *mutters something about him running all over South Florida*
Mehrt: Bills on the clock. Don't be bitter, I'm hoping for the G-men to pick a buckeye. What happens on the college field is irrelevant as far as schools today.
Nyne: True.
Mehrt: Bills take Eric Wood another Center in the first round. The New York Football Giants on the clock, and it better be Lauriniatis
Nyne: You would only hope so. How bothered would you be if they didn't pick him?
Mehrt: Very, they need a LB bad, Pierce is not trustworthy. He was just as involved in the Buress incident, and I'd rather see him in a reduced role if not gone. Steeler fams are saying, "I told you so," to this day.
Nyne: *snerks*
Mehrt: And if it's a WR they take, I'll cry. It'll be a waste. Eli isn't that good of a passer that they need to replace Buress.
Nyne: Um... *hands Eric a hankie*
Mehrt: They blew it. Hakeem Nicks.
Nyne: I hate seeing grown men cry, d00d.
Mehrt: Defense, we were ranked 8th and 9th, pass and run. Not good enough for the once removed Super Bowl champs. Titans on the clock.
Nyne: Tell me this - would it be shocking if Beanie Wells [didn't] go in the first round?
Mehrt: Early second is where I'd take him.
Titans are taking WR Kenny Britt. A nice route runner.
Nyne: ...yeah, they stomped South Florida too, shut up...
Mehrt: Cardinals on the clock. And I can't talk, everyone stomped Michigan. Anyway, the Cards, you were suggesting to me earlier in the day that they could go QB.
Nyne: *tries not to point and laugh, fails* Bright side - at least you're not a Domer. And yes, I actually did say that.
Mehrt: Why?
Nyne: Why should you be glad that you're not Notre Dame?
Mehrt: Why would you say a QB for the Cards? *sighs* Do I have to be that specific.
Nyne: Yes, yes you do because generally I'm distracted by the shiny. Anyway, I said it because Kurt Warner will only last for so much longer, and I honestly don't think that Matt Leinart is as all of that and a bag of chips as he used to be. The actuality fell short of the hype.
Mehrt: You're not willing to give Leinart another chance now that he's been learning under Warner. Despite my hate for him, Warner is a decent QB.
Nyne: Iunno...How long do you think they're willing to wait for Leinart to finally get it?
Mehrt: As long as they trust Warner to throw the ball. This may be his last year.
Nyne: WOW.
Mehrt: Cards take Chris "Beanie" Wells
Nyne: And...he doesn't look all that thrilled. That's a 'I'm happy I was picked' smile, not 'I'm happy that I was picked by the Cardinals.'
Mehrt: I don't know about that but this is probably the end of Edgerin James in Arizona. The Super Bowl Champs have the last pick in the first round and they're on the clock.
Nyne: So where might Edgerin go now?
Mehrt: I'm not sure, he kinda picked it up in the playoffs, but he didn't have a good year last year. He would need a team like Denver, with a very good O-Line, or the Ginats, but both teams are pretty set at RB. The last pick of the first round is in and the Steelers take DT Evander Hood
Nyne: A lot of D in the first round, Eric.
Mehrt: Yeah, a lot of response to how much offense there was last year but for the Steelers, they were already the best D, did they need to improve? No one was scoring on them.
Nyne: You can't ever have too good of a D - the bucs were made of fail for yeeeeears on a good D and horrible offense.
Mehrt: Yeah that’s true. You would know. So break it down, biggest surprise of the first round?
Nyne: Besides Oakland? And Beanie Wells going so late?
Mehrt: I'm surprised the top 10 picks only had 4 skill position players taken. It's an odd thing for this league.
I'm also surprised that the Marlins are 11-5, but that's neither here or there.
Nyne: Hee! I forgot there were other sports besides football today...
Mehrt: Nooooooooooooo, the Rams took Laurinaitis. *dies*
Nyne: *patpatpat*
Mehrt: I think we need to end this before I completely lose it.
Nyne: Allright. I think we've shaken enough rust off today. *giggles*
Mehrt: That's all for us. I'm gonna go cry in a blue and red towel. See ya next time. We are Nyne and the Mehrt...
Nyne: ...and this has been a Coast to Coast Production. ShaneOMac FTW.
Mehrt: He's prematurely gray.
Nyne: He's been like that for years. As long as none of that gray gets in the way of him going off the top rope and into a garbage can.
Mehrt: *rolls eyes* Bye folks.
