Draft review
April 30, 2009
It may come as little surprise to anyone who knows me, but I’m gonna go ahead and give the bengals an A on this years draft. Not only did we get the only tackle with real balls, and SEC speed, but we got a beast of a linebacker, with our second pick. The Bengals, are no longer dead to me. I’m even gonna up my prediction for this years win total from 6 to 9. That’s right, our new top ten defense will carry us all the way, to almost the playoff’s.
The Browns on the other hand, seem to still be the Browns. Didn’t they just draft a Center with their #1 pick a few years ago? Didn’t they throw a ton of money at LeCharles Bentley like 3 years ago? Couldn’t they have traded down again and still got that dude? Passing on Crabtree was a huge mistake. It’s only a matter of time before Braylon Edwards leaves, and Dante Stallworth is gonna be occupied for the next 12-15 years, so a receiver would have been a smart move. They did draft one in the second however. OSU’s Brian Robiskie, which is another huge mistake by the Browns. I like Robo, I think he’ll be a solid pro, and comes from good stock. But, isn’t it gonna be a little awkward when they sit down to go over contracts and someone from the Browns has to say “Hey, no hard feelings on that whole “firing your dad” thing, it’s just business”. “And yeah, sorry about making your whole family have to pick up shop, and move to Florida like that, we just wanted to go with Romeo Crennell”. If there’s any justice in this world, Robiskie doesn’t sign until week 4, and is the highest paid 2nd round pick of all time.
Why was there a camera at Brian Hoyer’s house? I understand him not knowing, but does nobody at ESPN know that he’s the worst QB ever? Those turds that Michigan used last year would be better than him if you gave them 4 years to go at it. I started to feel bad for him there at the end. He was actually upset. It’s like he really believed he was gonna get drafted. Todd Boekman had a better shot at getting drafted than Brian Hoyer. The best part is, early on, his girlfriend was sitting right at his side, holding his hand during the early part of the draft on sunday, and by hour 4, she was long gone. Do you think she left to go try and hook up with Javon Ringer?
How long unil some crazy Raiders fan assasinates Al Davis? With the Bengals and Lions looking to move away from their normal draft haplessness, the Raiders seem to be all alone in the WTF department.
Cards + Beanie = AWESOME.
Beanie will spend at least 4 games on the sidelines and be forgotten about by next year, mark my word.
Shouldnt Robinski’s dad be thanking the Browns for firing him. Afterall he could leave that shit hole Cleveland and move to Florida
