I want to ask this. Who your favrtie draft pick for your favorite team? I really did not like the Steeler's picks, although we did need an LB with Porter having left. CowboysTrade for Cleveland's 2008 first round pick VikingsAdrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma

I agree with Kliquid on this Troy Smith issue. I cant see Smith being a QB in the NFL. He's not the same height as Brees, as there is about a 3/4inch difference. It doesnt sound like much....but it really is in the NFL. NFL network broke down his draft day tape and showed how he misses wide open receivers b/c he can barely see over the offensive line. The guy also has tunnel vision.
He played on a fantastic Ohio State that covered his mistakes. His statistics were no better than Brady Quinn's and Smith played on a hell of a lot better team athletically than Quinn.
Smith will be way better in a slash position. His athletic ability could prove to be a nice weapon, if used properly. Not sure he can be Randle El like....but it is possible. I could see him as a corner.

3/4 of an inch? What are you the combine director? Jesus, talk about splitting hairs, hes not the same by NOT EVEN A FULL INCH.
I dont even like Troy Smith so I dont know why this bothers me so much

I dont even like Troy Smith so I dont know why this bothers me so much I do like Troy Smith, but I'm just being realistic. Well, trying to be. Maybe I'll be horribly off, but that's just the way I see it. You don't draft a guy in the 5th round expecting him to be the QB of your team's future... That's not to say it can't happen (see Brady); but it's just not very likely.

Lemme rephrase what I was saying, I dont think Troy Smith will be the next Tom Brady, but the Ravens took him to learn as the backup and if they get lucky....they get lucky. They arent expecting JaMarcus Russell here, just someone who could become decent (Trent Green, Rich Gannons etc)

I dont even like Troy Smith so I dont know why this bothers me so much Like I said....NFL Network. I got the info. from there. I'm not spilitting hairs.....I'm just relaying information. Besides, I saw the tapes...it made sense. But I dont attribute it to just his size, but more his inability to read coverage and find the open receiver. Kliquid....I dont think the Pats drafted Brady thinking he would be the next great thing. They drafted him, hoping he would be a capable backup. He TURNED into a phenom. Same can be said with what the Ravens did. But I think they want to take advantage of his athleticism and less for a capable backup.

Also if he didnt get his head beaten in during the title game Smith probably would've gone in the 3-4th and this topic might not have been that big of a deal

I am so pissed off that the Carolina Panthers gave away there 1st round pick to the New York Idiots aka Jets so they can get Revis. I am a big fan of Revis and I wanted him to go too Pittsburgh!!!

I'm glad Revis didn't go to Pittsburgh though. I would've hated to see a great player like him go to one of my least favorite teams.

I think he was the best corner in the draft. Besidesn, he is a better shutdown corner than Revis. I guess I should just be happy that they addressed that major need.

revis is going to be a better pro, I think. he shows all the signs of being a guy who develops even further at the next level and becomes a truly elite player at the position. leon hall was an efficiently productive college player but he shows the traits of someone who levels off at the next level, like a lot of michigan corners.
hall's timed speed was great, but no one can say with a straight face that he plays at that speed in pads. he was routinely beat by burners last year. he's a well balanced DB who sticks his nose in on the run and can do a little bit of everything, but he doesn't have much room to improve.
the only area revis needs to improve upon is his ball skills. other than that, hes the ideal fit for the jets. hes big, hes strong, he gets in peoples faces and pops them in the mouth. hes essentially what justin miller should be.
for what its worth, i'd still put my money on eric wright being the best corner to come out of this draft class.
