The
2008 NFL Draft is now in the books and we here at TSC take a look at
all the hits and misses from the event. Everyone seems intent on
assigning letter grades to everything, but we are just going to assign
letters. Maybe it's because we like thinking out of the box, maybe it's
because we remember the horrid grades we got in school. In either case,
here are the breakdowns of the first half of the teams in the draft.
Arizona Cardinals: They got a man named Early Doucet in the third round. That is an awesome steal, as that is a first-round name. Z for Zoinks! What A Name Scoob!
Atlanta Falcons: They got 7 players, which really helps to address their biggest concern which is everything. U for Unable To Move Quickly Enough Beyond Michael Vick
Baltimore Ravens: The
Ravens managed to snag the best giant Delawarian on the board in Joe
Flacco. You have to give them points for that, but you also have to
take them away because it is Joe Flacco, perhaps the most over-rated
small school QB in the last 10 years. Y for Year Of Delawarian Domination
Buffalo Bills: They
got perhaps the best cover corner in the draft, which should help limit
to Patriots to only 30 point wins over them for years to come. C for Covering The 27-Point Spread
Carolina Panthers: The
big cats traded a bunch of picks to get a tackle named Otah. I think
it's a move that had to be made as the Panthers have been searching for
a franchise Otah for some time, and they don't come around very often. F for Finally A Franchise Otah!
Chicago Bears: At
least they are set at quarterback and didn't have to worry about it by
drafting one of the 10 or so decent ones here. Oh, that's right, they
aren't set at quarterback. Massive failure Bears, massive failure. O for Oops, We Forgot About Rex Grossman
Cincinnati Bengals:
We'll have to wait and see how this draft class pans out for the
Bengals in 5 years or so. We can do that by checking the roster of the
flag football team at the Ohio State Prison after that time. They have
some real potential in Pat Sims and Anthony Collins. P for Prison Possibly Awaits
Cleveland Browns: They
traded away most of this draft for other players, which is probably a
good thing considering how their drafts in the past have turned out. S for Still Waiting To See If They Are As Good As People Think
Dallas Cowboys:
They got two good players in the first round, plus they landed the only
active player with a video game nickname in Pacman Jones. In case
anyone else hadn't heard, Q-Bert Rogers and Burgertime McDougal were
waived last week by Detroit. V for Vendetta Is A Great Movie
Denver Broncos: They got a bunch of new players, which is great as anyone else has to be better than the players they currently have. A for Any Pick Is A Good Pick
Detroit Lions:
They picked the runningback who almost broke Barry Sanders single
season rushing mark last year at UCF. They got him so they can, of
course, kill him and protect the record of the only good player they
have ever had. P for Pre-meditated Murder
Green Bay Packers:
The Aaron Rodgers era in Green Bay begins with them drafting a player
who is probably better than he is. No doubt there were things said like
"Curses!" and "Drats!" in the Rodgers home on Saturday, followed by a
twirling of his waxed mustache. C for Confidence In Your New QB
Houston Texans: Could
the Texans have actually made some solid picks to give them a chance at
overtaking the Titans, Colts, and Jaguars to become a real contender?
No, I don't think so either. S for Sorry You Guys Got Such A BLEEP Division
Indianapolis Colts: They
offered to just skip the draft, as there is nothing they really need,
but the NFL made them show up anyway. For just picking names that will
sound cool when the players say them during the offense/defense
introductions when they are on TV, they did pretty darn well D for Does It Really Matter, We're Always Good
Jacksonville Jaguars: There
was talk they might trade to get Jason Taylor from Miami, but then they
saw his dreadful foxtrot this week on Dancing With The Stars. Taylor is
finished if he can't execute a simple spinning two-step, said their
head scout. Good move in staying away. J for John Lithgow, Hater Of Dance
Kansas City Chiefs: They
got what many thought was the best defensive player in the draft, Glenn
Dorsey the big tackle from LSU. But do you even really need a defense
when playing division opponents like Oakland and Denver? A big empty
field is all you need to thwart their attacks. U for Unnecessary
