NFL Draftie Quick Notes

~Quality over Quantity was the Jets motto. And well they better be quality cause they only made three draft picks. An insignificant 6th rounder for O-line depth, Mark Sanchez, and Shonn Greene. Shonn Greene might be really good but where the hell does he get snaps next year? TJ had his best year and Leon already doesn't get enough touches. Where the hell is Greene getting carries? The Jets still lack offensive deep threats, so the offense may still be suspect.

~I obviously don't know much about token 6th round offensive guards, so I'm not going to be able to say this Abilene Christian player is going to be really really good. So when I look at a draft I look at top picks and think they improved or they didn't and to me I absolutely positively love the Eagles first two picks. The entire offseason the Eagles looked like they accomplished nothing to further McNabb's available weapons and within the first two rounds they are looking good. I've already proclaimed my thoughts on Maclin, and I love him with the Iggles. He'll provide a solid compliment of speed and quickness on short routes to DeSean Jackson's constant vertical threat. Maclin also provides excellent kickoff and punt return games which can keep Westbrook away from those areas. The next pick of McCoy gives them a solid safety net for the 4 games Westbrook will miss next year due to injuries and the fall off should not be as astronomical as it has been in recent years. All in all I absolutely love these pickups.

~Only Al Davis drafts DHB above Crabtree and Maclin. Only Al Davis. And that's what makes Al Davis so great. It's like he knows everyone thinks he's senile and just loves speed over all other important aspects to being a great football player so he just fits the bill to make people shake their heads and be controversial. Or he really is just senile.

~The Bucs are retarded and so is Josh Freeman. Freeman went out and said that the Bucs picked up Leftwich for the purpose of trying to convince teams that the Bucs had no interest in him in a chat on NFL.com. And yet they convinced everyone so much of their non-interest that they traded up in the draft to get him when no one else wanted him.

~The Cowboys had a fun draft thanks to their idiotic Roy Williams trade. Yay for repercussions from a stupid midseason acquisition.

~In typical Patriot fashion I've never heard of any of the players they drafted. If it works every year, than why stop.

~Rey Maualuga is a beast and was a 2nd round steal. Too bad he'll be a complete waste in Cincy, the land where defense dies.

~The Bill Cosby segment on ESPN was scary weird.

~Honestly, I think overall the draft was pretty boring. Limited trades, limited surprises. The big names supposedely on the block, Braylon Edwards, Brady Quinn, Boldin, etc, stayed put. There weren't too many suprises nor a Brady Quinn-esque free-fall down the draft board. Just kind of a status-quo draft for the most part.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
