Offical 2008 NFL draft Thread. 12PT/3ET on ESPN/NFLNetwork

[gunna get it]

Type the phrase "Linebacker U" into Google, and you'll find thousands of articles and Web sites extolling Penn State as the preeminent school for linebackers.

Type that same phrase into Wikipedia, and Penn State's football page immediately appears on your computer screen via the Internet's version of Encyclopedia Britannica.

Come this weekend, though, that entry might need a little editing.

When Tennessee linebacker Jerod Mayo becomes the first Vol taken in Saturday's NFL draft (ESPN, 3 p.m.), he'll be the 11th Tennessee linebacker selected since 1999.

If he goes in the first round as many project, he'll join Al Wilson as the second UT linebacker taken in the first 32 picks...

Since 1999, Tennessee has had more linebackers selected in the NFL draft than any of the 10 schools with the most players picked since 1996. Penn State, meanwhile, has produced five. Only Miami (4), Ohio State (3) and Florida State (2) have produced more first-rounders over the same period.

Ahhh The "New LineBaacker U"

Merling ain't a 3-4 guy though.

Jets trading up for Keller.

Giants are gonna take KP to end the 1st round. Gunna, you like KP or Johnson more at safety?

 

[jawnstockton]

Groves in the second actually makes more sense...they really like guys like Royal and the Hawk in the 3rd...BUT I still have those fingers crossed

Keller will start from Day 1.

 

[fwa iii]

a HORRIBLE day to be a WR/QB

 

[krisp kicks]

Yea...I think safety is such a weak position this draft, but connor has a chance to start from day 1

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

[kiddin like jason]

KlJ, Slaton?
That's what my inside sources told me.

Naw, I'm @%%*@%'.

If Jerry trades up in the second and takes Kenny Phillips, I'll personally send him a pretty little stripper from Arkansas.

 

[TheGift23]

Jet fans are never happy lol

 

[dr 715]

I like how in that video montage of Keller, he stutter stepped in the open field, went left and ran right into a defender.

Awesome.

 

[gunna get it]

Keller will start from Day 1.

 

[inno21]

I kno y'alll saw the close up on that kid....priceless hahhahah

 

[mez 0ne]

N.Y. GIANTS

Give this man even MORE help to get the 2-peat underway.

 

[true 3 blue]

All we need to do at this point is focus on defensive backs.... maybe even the O line, let's see what Jerry Reese does

 

[lil stevie728]

The run on WRs in the 2nd round is gonna be great!
