The Official Nfl Draft Thread

Clarett rushed for 1,237 yards and 18 touchdowns in his lone collegiate season in 2002. His talent is tough to deny. He has a very good combination of size, quickness vision, change of direction skills and patience as a runner. He can't create passing-game matchup problems like the Rams' Marshall Faulk and the Chiefs' Priest Holmes can, but he has potential as a receiver. Clarett is similar to the Colts' Edgerrin James in the sense that he catches the ball smoothly and is tough to bring down in the open field because of his size and running skills. He also can be an outstanding blocker on blitz-pickup situations. However, while Clarett has the talent and potential to develop into a starting running back in the NFL, his road will be an extremely tough one to hoe between now and then.

Unbelievable that he went that high??? :dunno:

Yes. I am Very surprised. Very unhappy. With all the people that was in front of him at rb. Man I bet he does good next year too. That blocking scheme is just what he needs to make him good.
 
What is Denver thinking :blink: He is not fast enough to get through the holes in that Denver offense
 
We will just have to wait and see just what they were thinking. Hey personally I backed Maruice Clarett all the way through everything. Never ripped him once. So I wish him well. Maybe Shannonhan knows something about him we dont, Which he probably does when it comes to rb.
 
Well, thanks to everyone that helped out on the thread today. We'll be back at again tomorrow! lol
 
Well sorry to break the bad news, but i am going to universal studios tommorrow so you wont be able to get my incite on the draft. :(

Exactly what I was thinking. This looks crazy on the surface, but if there&#39;s any place that can make Clarett look good, it&#39;s Denver. These are the people that turned Terell Davis from a back up at UGA to a potential Hall of Famer.
 
I&#39;m just hoping to see derron sprolles and adrian Mcpherson get off the board fast tommorrow. There are alot of big name players still out there. this may be the deepest draft ever in my opinon.
 
Faison from FL is still on the board RB from Minnesota still on the board man I wonder what Denver fans are thinking?
 
I can&#39;t believe he went on the first day (if at all). To think he is on the same team as Al Wilson. I hope Al kicks his butt during practice.
