Chad Henne was drafted 57 overall in 2008.  At 56 was a guy named Brian Brohm from Louisville who was picked by the Green Bay Packers.  So far, in his career, Brohm has played 2 games, started one, for the Buffalo Bills and is 17 of 29 for 146 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT for his career.  But, he did throw the pass that ended up being TO's 1000th career reception.

Who was better?


Yes! Brohm was the guy. Kilper was going on and on about him (how does this guy still have a job!?) and from what I was reading at the time I was hoping tthe Dolphins would snag him over Henne.  Thats why I worked the Midnight shift last night and Parcells makes more money in retirement then most do in a lifetime .  Roll Eyes

On if Odrick was who they were targeting all along) - "Well you have your board set. He was the guy that - we stay with our board I'll just say that. We stay with our board. When we moved down to 28 one of the things we wanted to do obviously was get our second round pick back. That was important to us. That was something we were looking to do, but if the player that we were targeting was there at 12 we were potentially going to take that player too. So it kind of worked out that we were able to move down and get another player that we also liked."

I thinks its quite apparent that Dan Williams was his guy. Shit happens I guess.  Tongue Almost got him, well worth the gamble.

Doesn't actually sound like it was Williams.  I think maybe it was McClain, and when McClain wasn't there at 12, they felt trading down was the best option. 

"if the player we were targeting was there are 12, we were potentially going to take that player too"

They had a guy, he was gone by 12, so they moved down.

My personal belief on drafting in the first round is essentially this...

Pick a player with rare ability who will be able to contribute significantly in his first year.

or

Pick a player who will fill your most needed area of improvement and is bust resistant  Wink.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really don't think we did either of these things.  I feel like he is a big, athletic guy but the pick is underwhelming to say the least.  The main positive is that he was picked near the very bottom of the first round, so at least we didn't reach much.  Plus, we did get a high second round pick which could definitely allow us to cover on of our obvious needs with an effective player.

Anybody else think this guy will just be another serviceable player that gets traded or released to free agency after his first contract is up?  All I see is another Randy Starks or McDaniel like player.

I think I'm a good bit more optimistic on Jared Odrick than Doc is... I believe he'll develop into a quality D-lineman who fills a definite need position and can likely step in and be an immediate contributor.

OK, so I was able to check out some tape on Odrick and all I have to say is...

ARE YOU F-ing JOKING!  WHY THE HELL WOULD WE SPEND A FIRST ROUND PICK ON THIS GUY!  He doesn't finish plays.  He gets nocked to the ground on single blocks.  He does nothing to demand a double team. 

1st round, WOW!  I am a little pissed to say the least.  If we are going to convert to a 4-3 or plan on playing a ton of nickle then fine, but we better make something out of our #40 pick cause this guy has a crap-ton of weight lifting to do if he wants to have any significant impact in this league.

Good point. I was assuming it was Williams.

I'm happy with it.  I work in State College and I am not a PSU fan, but he was Big Ten Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. 
 
he'll be a guy who doesn't get called out during the game for his pass rushing skills, but will open the lanes for the LBs to make the plays. solid character and good work ethic, I think he'll be immediate impact
 
good value pick at 28th and plus we got our 2nd round pick back after we lost it during the marshall trade.  we pick 9th tonite (40th overall), plus we picked up tim dobbins (LB/ST player) from SD because of the trade.
 
I think the 1st round was a good day for us.  we could get Sergio Kindle today or even OLB Jerry Hughes.

I think it's solid and gave us the 2nd pick we lost.  we're picking 9th tonite and I think we'll get another solid player.

Hughes was drafted last night by the Colts, but Kindle and Mays are both hanging around.  I don't see either of them be there when we pick at 40.  I've seen a few post hoping we don't draft either Kindle or Mays.  That was with the first round pick.......do you still have the same reservations if one of them is there when we pick in the 2nd round?

I don't know anything about this guy, but from what I have read in the past hour, he seems like a dynamic player that could step into the role that JT played 5 years ago.  The big quick pass rushing DE that can hang inside, and pursue on the edges.

NOTHING about Odrick suggests he can develop into a quality pass-rusher. If that's what the Trifecta brought him in to do, they should've picked someone else. He was good as an inside "straight-line" rusher on obvious passing downs in college, but doesn't have the strength, burst or agility to rush effectively in the NFL.

He's never played 5-technique, so who knows what that'll do, but his "measurables" all point to him being a mediocre pass-rusher at best.

To be honest, this pick reeks of "highest defensive tackle left on the board".

This pick reeks of "Parcells and Sparano have better vision than the average fan."
