That was true years ago. Now it's out of control.

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

Trying to use my imagination here.

Miami passes. 10 minutes off the clock.

St. Louis takes Jake Long. 10 and a half minutes off the clock.

Atlanta takes Matt Ryan. 11 minutes off the clock.

Oakland takes Howie's son, Chris Long. 11 and a half minutes off the clock.

Kansas City takes Vernon Gholston. 12 minutes off the clock. Berman's head explodes.

Miami takes Glenn Dorsey. 12 minutes 15 seconds off the clock.

6 picks and one exploded head.





Please let this happen.

There's nothing that says any of them have to agree to a contract before the draft. If I were an agent for a top guy, I probably wouldn't. Call their bluff and make them pick you... Then they're under more pressure to sign you to the contract you want.

But again... Why would St. Louis or any other team want the #1 pick and the money it will cost any more than Parcells?

Thats funny you posted this Hos, I was just thinking about this very scenario
about a week ago, and wondering if BP would deploy such a tactic.
Highly likely IMO since there really is no clear cut number 1.
No franchise QB worth the investment, but about 4 others, Dorsey, Gholston,
C. Long, and J. Long, that BP seems to be leaning to.
Actually the trade down option, might increase the further he drops down.
He might have more teams interested if he were sitting at number 3 vs number 1.
Im not even sure what the league rules are in allowing a franchise to pass on multiple draft slots.
Have to check that one.

Per Colin Cowherd a team can do it and then just like Minnesota did a few years ago the other teams can pick ahead of Miami.

Only if they have a guy they could separate from the pack enough. We don't know if that's so w/ SL, but it could be.

Yes sir, thats understood. Just curious if there is a limit as to how many times a team can pass. I wouldnt think so.

If Hos's scenario happened, Roger Goodell would be on the draft stage looking like a substitute teacher running around trying to get his students under control with spitballs flying and complete mayhem under way.

I see what you are saying but STL is picking 2nd. They are going to be paying pretty close to what #1 could cost. Taking the player they want might be worth it to them.

That is great stuff.

Imagine the gasket Kiper will have blown if things went down like that.

Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and

Such a scenario would undermine the entire draft process. If it did it would be the last time, and you notice it hasn't happened since despite the owners griping about the high cost of signing these kids for years now. Sounds nice, but it won't happen.

Paints a good picture doesn't it?

Combine that with Berman's head exploding and this would be my all time favorite Draft.
