TODD MCSHAY LOVES DONNIE AVERY
Seriously, what the fuck were the Rams thinking when they picked out the name of Donnie Avery out of Scott Linehan's cap? Just because his name magically appeared out of the hat doesn't mean you have to pick him. I have no idea how you can pass on talents like Desean Jackson, Malcolm Kelly, and yes, even Limas Sweed for a guy like Avery. I honestly had never even heard of him before the Rams took him.
This draft didn't make a lot of sense to me but maybe it's only because I have no idea how to evaluate talent. First off if I was the Falcon's GM there is no way I would have passed on Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey and McFadden were the two most talented players in the draft in my mind and also the ones which could provide the most impact. The Falcons went out and signed backup Michael Turner to a huge deal in the offseason thus negating the chance of drafting McFadden. They took Matt Ryan who could be the next Tim Couch or David Carr. Then they trade up to get a first round pick and take left tackle Sam Baker who was graded as a mid to late 2nd round pick. Instead of getting a Dorsey and say a Brian Brohm who will be a much better pro than Ryan they get a good to average left tackle and a quarterback who is inconsistent and throws a ton of interceptions. With the 37th and 48th picks they could have picked up a Trevor Laws or a Desean Jackson who could be immediate impact players. Instead they got a slow linebacker in Curtis Lofton who can't cover a snail and they still will have no tight ends or defensive tackles to play next year.
How in the hell did the Bears pass on Brian Brohm? Rex Grossman sucks balls and instead of drafting a future NFL starting QB you take fucking Matt Forte out of Tulane? A fucking RB? Are you kidding me Chicago? The rest of their draft looked really good especially getting WR Earl Bennett in the third round but I almost started crying from laughing so hard when the Bears passed on Brohm in the second round.

i understand that you say that the pick of donnie avery is a horrible pick because you dont know who he is but the fact is that he was a quick riser in draft stock out of the weak wide receiver class of this year. Also, the rams made it a point to draft character and working class guys instead of guys with great talent but have character issues. For once lets applaud a team for not wanting to sell out for talent. If i remember correctly this is how the patriots were built.
I can understand drafting the high character guys but I still think drafting Avery as the #1 receiver in the whole NFL draft was a big time reach. I'm really high on Malcolm Kelly and I thought he would be a good fit for St. Louis and have yet to hear any character issues. By the way, do the Rams have a plan for a future QB once Bulger is gone?
I love that the Bears took 2 dudes from Vandy that SEC powerhouse.
Did you see where Matt Ryan nailed the first 6 picks in the draft, better than Kiper and McShay.
I heard that about Matt Ryan. I wonder if he can predict how many games he will win in Atlanta during his rookie season?
