NFL Draft Thread

We are getting no respect it feels like. Really who is any good in the SEC? insert sarcasm

Yeah, Harrell going 14 picks higher than thought is so disrespectful

Somebody with knowledge of the financials of the NFL might be able to answer this, but...

How much money should Brady Quinn expect to lose after slipping from the 4th overall pick to the 22nd pick??

he can't "lose" money he wasn't being offered.

personally, I don't think rookies should be given multi-million dollar contracts.

 

[ut 4 me]

i kind of agree

 

[Mrs.BigOrangeNation]

Meachem might go to Philly, but I doubt it.

I'll die and go to heaven if he goes to Carolina.

 

[VolinArizona]

Carolina could go Arron Sears, honestly

 

[TennesseeFan07]

It would be great to see Sears go in the first round.

 

[ut 4 me]

3 in the first round would be nice

 

[VolinArizona]

I'm afraid Meachem might fall past #32. Jarrett and Rice are right there with him on some boards.

 

[tvolsfan]

Debateable

It will happen, just not as fast as some Titans expect.

 

[VolinArizona]

Put Meach in Carolina, Philadelphia, or New Orleans, just not New England

 

[TennesseeFan07]

It will be close for Meachem. I think Jarrett will go higher, but Meachem may sneak in the first round.

I hope he sneaks in there... Don't want him leaving early to be for a 2nd round pick.

There isn't a whole lot of room left...

 

[TennesseeFan07]

There isn't a whole lot of room left...

You're right, but I have faith he'll get in there somewhere.

 

[govols182]

If he ends up not going in the 1st round, do you think he will regret his decision?

Good question

 

[TN Vol 0320]

OK, since apparently some people want to be difficult, I'll ask it a different way.

For anybody with true knowledge of these things, how much less money should we expect Quinn to receive being the #22 pick vs. the expected #4...???

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Pats get Merriweather

 

[VolinArizona]

Good pick

 

[govols182]

They picked a thug. He won't last long there.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I expected them to get a receiver.

 

[Mrs.BigOrangeNation]

yay panthers are going to pick, its about freakin time

The best info I have found isn't great. Andre Johnson got a 6 million dollar signing bonus at #3 in 2003, and Rex Grossman was picked #22 and got a 2 million dollar signing bonus and a 250,000 dollar contract

 

[govols182]

Why? They picked up Stallworth and Washington in the offseason.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Panthers may get Meachem
