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 second half of the teams in
the draft.
Miami Dolphins: According
to this picture, their new quarterback will apparently be wearing
formal clothes under his uniform. I don't know if that will help or
not, but they will look a lot more dignified as they lose every week. F for Fancy
Minnesota Vikings:
They got the dumbest quarterback since Terry Bradshaw in USC's John
David Booty. But that didn't stop him from winning 4 Super Bowls,
having a long broadcasting career, and making tons of assinine 10-10
phone number commercials. Maybe it won't be so bad. D for Dum Dums
New England Patriots: They
got a great linebacker in the first round to help phase out one of
their aging stars, which should help a lot. They also got a QB in the
third round, which should finally help them stabilize themselves at
that position. If they only had a franchise passer, they could have won
3 or 4 Super Bowls by now. W for We All Hate You Patriots
New Orleans Saints: They
drafted a big DT in Sedrick Ellis who can really play some defense. The
Saints are hoping he can show the rest of their defensive players just
how it's actually done. H for Hey, That's How You Tackle A Guy
New York Giants:
They got a steal in Michigan receiver Mario Manningham during the third
round. If only his team didn't play against college defensive
powerhouse Appalachian State, he might have had some better numbers.
Luckily there are no Appalachian-quality athletes in the NFL to stop
him now. Y for You Lose To Appalachian State, You Shouldn't Be Allowed To Play Football Anymore
New York Jets: Well,
at least they won't have the same team as last year. That's all you can
really say to yourself every year as a Jets fan. You can also spell the
word Jets to yourself and then say the word three times like you are in
a retarded middle-aged spelling bee. T for The Most Stupid Cheer In History
Oakland Raiders: Darren Mcfadden was the loser of the Who Goes To Oakland Lottery. Sorry buddy, I know it's tough. P for Poor Darren
Philadelphia Eagles:
They traded their first round pick again for the second year in a row,
but they managed to get some nice players anyway. There were some
players they liked, but Andy Reid just likes screwing up Mel Kiper's
Big Board. T for Take That You Permed ####
Pittsburgh Steelers: The
Steelers picked up Limas Sweed in the second round. If he's anything
like the real Swedish, he's going to be awesome. And he's going to make
some awesome chocolate. S for Swedish Chocolate
St. Louis Rams: They
picked up Howie Long's kid to try and keep that defense as fierce as it
has been over the past several years. Only time will tell if it is as
fierce as the witty zingers his father slings at the crew of FOX NFL
Sunday. They can only hope. R for Really? You Aren't Tired Of Madden Impersonations Yet?
San Francisco 49ers:
None of their picks answered their phones when they saw "San Francisco
49ers" on the caller ID. They managed to trick Kentwan Balmer into
picking up when they used a stranger's cellphone, but he hung up as
soon as he realized the ruse. C for ####, None Of Our Picks Seem To Be Home
S for Seattle Seahawks: Well, in that division they could pick a pots and pans set in the first round and still be very competitive for many years. H for Haha, We Get To Play In The NFC West
Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
They got another player named Dexter Jackson, who was their Super Bowl
MVP when they won it a couple of years back. Hopefullyhe can bring them
back to the good old days when they wore a blinding orange and were
represented by a mustached man with a knife in his mouth. P for Pimp-Like Helmet Pirate
Tennessee Titans: Well,
they needed a receiver for Vince Young and they got...a runningback?
Another year of running for your life and hoping someone accidentally
gets open Vince. Good luck. B for Boobs
Washington Redskins: They made it through a draft without trading a bunch of picks for over-priced old free agents. Well done Redskins, well done. M for Maybe Learning From Past Mistakes
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 #### 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
Mel
Kiper Jr. was picked up by Connecticut authorities today on su####ion
of battery. He was arrested during a draft preview on NFL Live when
police stormed the studio during filming with a warrant for his arrest.
At first they tazered and pistol-whipped host Trey Wingo to the ground,
as the only description they had for Kiper was "really stupid looking
hair". But after they realized their mistake they dragged the draft
guru out the door, leaving a trail of hair goo on the floor behind him.
Apparently
the arrest was over a fight that happened in an alley behind a bar in
Bristol. The victim, a 28 year old construction worker, said he got
into a fight with a man that hit him over the head several times with a
"big board". As the police checked around for witnesses who knew which
man in town was notorious for carrying a big board, they were pointed
to Mel Kiper Jr. and a carpenter named Otto.
Kiper believes he
will be out soon and back at ESPN for draft day, as the evidence
against him is very shaky. But evidence at the scene reportedly
includes a placard that says "Miami - Vernon Gholston", which if true
would seem to implicate Kiper. But he states that only an ####
carpenter, or a Sports Illustrated columnist, would put Gholston to
Miami with the first pick, so it can't be him. More on this story as it
develops.
