that comes from the sheepherders (the media) having the sheep follow their words.
other teams said they were about to take him a few picks later.
Well I hope Vick stays healthy. I wont mind Vick handicapping the Eagles.

I tend to think the people involved in the draft kinda knows what is going on a little bit more. Like the fact he wouldn't have made it to us before our pick in the 2nd rd.
Also before the draft everyone was saying those exact things about all the linemen (except for LT) With the contracts being like they are for rookies now, you can expect more & more lineman going earlier & earlier in the draft.
9 OL went in the 1st round. Everyone said guards wouldn't be taken so early also unless they were the one in a generation kinda thing. 2 went in the top 10 (never happens when the old style of rookie contracts) 3 in the top 20. When Decastro was suppose to be all that & a bag of chips, he went somewhere around #24. Times have changed PE1. Lineman will go earlier & earlier, & lets face it. The lines are the heartbeat of any team. The only thing I have to face, is it was my favorite pick & he has looked good so far. Sheepherders said it was a bad move, other teams said they were about to take him a few picks later.
Like I said. the times are changing. & all the other lineman would be ok (now) but the center that was taken at the very end of the 1st rd is the bad lineman pick of the 1st rd? If Belicheck takes him a couple picks later everyone would be singing a different tune. I am not doubting that the sheep & the sheep herders were saying. I agree. that you agree with all of them. Still stand by what I said. he was a good pick & my favorite pick of the draft.
funny thing is I think the center position is the most important position on the line. Lot more than just blocking when it comes to that position. Also need a good center for the line to gel together. Horrible center & they never get it quite right. yes I know the left tackle gets the big paydays. since it is most QBs blind side, but you obviously don't know as much about the line as you are claiming if you think the Center is the least important part of the line. Also I never said that most of America thinks of it as a reach. I know they do. but as you just admitted most would have thought the pats as a genius if they did it a few picks later. They are going off perception of the boys past as they would have with the Pats. If Frederick worked out for the pats Bill would indeed be considered a genius. So if it isn't a huge stretch for them to do it a few picks later then you should have to admit it wouldn't be for us a few picks earlier. If he works out. Your letting assumptions dictate your thought. if it isn't a stretch for one team then it isn't for the other. The giants are noted of stretching to pick Pugh with the 19th pick & want to convert him from tackle to guard (so he isn't considered a kick ass guard in college) yet because they have been decent at drafting you don't hear about that as a crazy pick. The #19 pick is way more valuable than the 30th. Again the media paints the perception & you guys follow it. As soon as the masses follow along it is treated like fact & those of us think a bit deeper than the sheepherders are called crazy. Until it becomes the norm. Like I said earlier times are changing. there is a lot of lineman this draft alone that got drafted in the 1st round that would have never been considered being drafted in the 1st, back when the rookie contracts were crazy. So all anyone drafted was the big name positions. Your gonna see more & more lineman in the 1st round as time goes on. (that aren't just LTs) Just because you don't see it now, allows you to call us crazy. I get your point of view so please quit acting like we are stupid & cant see both sides of the conversation. No point in debating something if you cant see both sides of a conversation. We need a center (badly) we got the top center in the draft, & even if it was a stretch by 10 spots I am good with that. But you act like the center position is a dime a dozen. You buy into the thoughts of the so called experts who are wrong every year about the draft that he would have gone in the 3-6th rd. yet you have actual teams talk about looking to take him at the beginning of the 2nd round. You choose to ignore this & just go off the sheep (the masses) & the guys that get it wrong every year. Sorry. I am not gonna agree with you. If you wanted to say he was an early 2nd rd or even mid 2nd rd stretch I could say maybe, but to act like he would be there in the mid 3rd or even later...... well that is something the sheep say.
