Some of the things I found interesting while compiling all of this data were:

  • More players were drafted out of Abilene Christian than either Notre Dame or Virginia Tech.
  • South Carolina had 6 players drafted in rounds 5-7. Is Spurrier not developing his talent?
  • Connecticut had 4 players drafted within the first 63 picks.
  • Jamaican born Vaughn Martin was the only Canadian player selected.
  • The SEC is king cotton, but the ACC had 9 of the first 45 players drafted. Quality over quantity?
  • The Big East had more players per school drafted, 3.375, than any of the other BCS conferences.

*All of the data was taken from wikipedia and calculated by hand late at night. So if there are any errors that is why. If anything is wrong feel free to correct me.

ACC SEC Draft Showdown

So who is going to have the best draft, the ACC or the SEC? In the past five drafts the ACC has had 176 picks while the SEC has had 191. The ACC has had 31 first round picks (with a staggering 12 in 2006) while the SEC has had 37 first-round selections in those five drafts. (ajc | Mr. College Football)

Brady Quinn defends Crotch Grabbing

2774 haha Brady Quinn defends Crotch Grabbing

You know, so what? We wanted to be different. We wanted to separate ourselves. Any group of 5 or 6 friends can go out porky piggin’ on a Saturday night or hit the club dressed in matching polos and khackis. We’re different. We like to shake dicks when we see each other. That’s right. Think about it… I’m only 22 years old and I must have high-fived enough for 10 lifetimes. Now when I am out scoring the latest Maroon 5 CD or picking up that new pair of pink short shorts and see James, Leon or Terry I don’t even hesitate to give a little crotch pull to say what’s up. It’s not only a greeting, but within a couple of years this will be the new job well done ass pat. Just know where I’m going after Joe Thomas seals a block for a score.

Fucking Draft Analysis

crable Fucking Draft AnalysisI would imagine giving birth is some what like watching the NFL draft. Anticipation builds and swells for weeks and weeks. On the morning of you cannot wait any longer and are bursting with excitement. Then after the first hour you just want the fucking thing to be over.

This is what I took away from the draft this weekend:

  1. Mike Tirico is a duche.
  2. Most people are talking about Brady Quinn’s long draft wait or his loss of money. However what about Jaws? He was foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog waiting for Quinn to be picked so he could break down his ability to throw seam routes into the end-zone.
  3. The Patriots are geniuses.  I can’t stay on Belicheck’s nuts long enough.  I honestly believe they had a star-wars-ish seeing glimpses of the future moment a year ago when trading away Deion Branch to Seattle.  They end up  getting a first rounder for Branch from Seattle.  They use that first rounder to fill a depth need at safety.  Then they trade their first round pick to San Fransisco for their first round pick in 2008 and fourth round pick.  They then trade the fourth round pick to Oakland for Moss.  So in the end they get Moss, another first rounder in 2008 (probably one better than the 2007 pick) all because they were able to raise the stock on Branch and sell to desperate market.
  4. Chris Berman is only palatable in small doses.
  5. Really awesome to see Frank Beamer talk before the drafting began.  Go Hokies.
  6. Roger Goodell just looks like the uncomfortable guy at the party.  You know the one.
  7. After the Miami Dolphins picked Tedd Ginn Junah I laughed out loud hysterically in my empty apartment.
  8. Why was everyone hating on USC?
  9. Mr. Irrelvant 2007 Ramzee Robinson was a former member of T.I.’s Pimp Squad Clique.

Teams are Stupid to Pass on these Players

nfl draft thumb Teams are Stupid to Pass on these PlayersThis is my meager draft contribution.  I will watch the draft on Saturday, but I am not a draft expert.  In no way could I pick a future pro-bowler out of the  4th  through 6th round (except maybe Brian Leonard). However, I can call teams stupid for passing on certain players who I think if healthy will dominate.

  1. Calvin Johnson – If he is on the board and you pass immediately re-evaluate life.  The guy is an athletic freak and posted all time combine numbers.  Message to the Raiders, this guy is the sure thing.  If you don’t want to draft him trade your fucking pick and get value for it.
  2. Adrian Peterson – You’re wih me AD.  Peterson is the equivalent of a 2 ton pickup truck that goes 0-60 4.5 seconds.  He is that strong, fast and explosive.  If he is on the board, he is better than your running back. You should pick him.
  3. Patrick Willis – Butkus award winning beast out of Ole Miss who completely shat all over SEC offenses.  He is going to be a total stud at MLB for someone.
  4. Joe Thomas & Joe Staley – Typically (unless you are the Raiders), drafting a huge tackle with 3+ years of playing experience yields a franchise player.  These guys still haven’t reached their potential and will continue to get bigger, faster and stronger.  I am hoping Staley will fly under the radar and fall into the Giants lap.
