NFL Draft 2006 – 8 Random Day 1 Thoughts

  • After they discover fire and the wheel, which (former) Ohio State linebacker will celebrate by ordering the roast duck with mango salsa at dinner – AJ Hawk or Bobby Carpenter?
  • By drafting safety Michael Huff with the 7th pick of the draft, the Raiders have now taken 10 DBs since 2001. Here’s hoping Huff becomes the first one to not be a bust and/or a total waste of time and money the way Fabian Washinton, Stanford Routt, Stuart Schweigert, Nnamdi Asomugha, Sideeq Shabazz, Philip Buchanan, Keyon Nash, and Derrick Gibson have been. Also, here’s also hoping he’s not Charles Woodson - the douchepump that didn’t blow up until after lulling us into a false sense of security during his rookie year.
  • Remember how the Scarecrow put all of that fear powder in the Gotham City water supply during Batman Begins? Maybe the same type of thing is going on in Buffalo, only with something called "Jump the gun 2 rounds premature" powder.
  • What fuckup came up with this "Click Clack" Under Armour campaign? This is the worst commercial ever.. no really, EVER.. and it ran on nearly every commercial break. Don’t get me wrong — I don’t think the other Under Armour commercials were worth a damn either but at least I got to rip my shirt off, look to the sky, and scream "WE MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!" at the end. That never failed to be an exciting time.
  • … I really miss Terry Tate, Office Linebacker.
  • No Michigan player taken on the first day… it warms my heart 
  • I really wanted Ringo Starr Brodie Croyle in the 3rd round. Dammit.
  • Since the Titans took Vince Young (thus preventing Al Davis from doing so) I didn’t drink myself into a stupor before the end of the first round. But then Paul McQuistan happened. Who knew Weber State had a football team? Al Davis sure does. The king of the undead wasted our third round pick on some random unproven that struggles dominating the DI-AA non-athletes in Big Sky country.
  • Houston Texans fans seem to be the only people happy about passing on Reggie Bush. Someone may want to share this fact with Michael Irvin, who seems to be ready to grab a pitchfork and lead a mob down to the Texans facility for a riot.

    • My thoughts on Hawk and Carpenter were similar. Only I was congratulating them on walking upright :)

    • AJ Hawk was at the Blue-Gold game… and not at OSU’s Scarlett and Gray game that was on the same day.
      Crack that whip, Laura!!!

    • The click clack was fuckin awful! Was that about the cleats. It was every damn time and then they had to get poor JJ wrapped up in that gayness.

    • “I really wanted Ringo Starr Brodie Croyle in the 3rd round. Dammit.”
      BOOOYAH!!!
      Granted, the Chiefs have NEVER developed a QB (Lenny the Cool was acquired from Pittsburgh, IIRC), but Croyle is as close as they’ve gotten in … well, forever. He’s damn near a Trent Green clone.
      And my glee at the Huff pick was damn near uncontainable. He’s a good player and all, but who in the hell is going to run Chokeland’s offense?

    • Moses, I’ve been a Croyle supporter for 5 looong years… I’ll be cheering for a Chiefs player for the first time in my life and it’s going to be painful.
