|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board NFL Draft Nick Morris, Photographer San Marcos | CA | United States | Posted: 3:40 AM on 04.26.09 ->> Well, now that that's over I can go back to baseball until the season kicks into gear. I must say it was a very interesting draft. Not sure if anyone here follows the the draft and stats of the draftees but if even half of them pan out it should make for a very good season. There were a few surprises and even a couple disappointments salted with a touch of drama. I do hope this season plays out as well as it should. If not then I say the NFL should re-structure the salary under a baseline salary and go with a performance pay scale. THAT would make for some interesting sports.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Just to clarify.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The NFL does a great job of showmanship...too bad they can't keep arena football alive.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

As the pre-draft show pointed out on ESPN, Tom Brady went at No. 199 in the sixth round. Joe Montana went No. 82 in the third round. And many of the top 10 picks since just didn't pan out. - Charles Rogers - 2nd overall, 2003 - Lawrence Phillips - 6th overall, 1996 - Ryan Sims - 9th overall, 2002 - Rick Mirer - 2nd overall, 1993 - Tim Couch - 1st overall, 1999 - Akili Smith - 3rd overall, 1990 - Todd Marinovich - 24th overall, 1991 - David Carr - 1st overall, 2002 - Ryan Leaf - 2nd overall, 1998 - Steve Emtman - 1st overall, 1992  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

At best, I give the Lions 3 wins this year. It is not the upcoming season that I have hope for, but rather the 2010 season.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
