Divided Opinions: Trade or Draft? True or False? Fill in the Blank!

A.E.M.: So, believe it or not, we have made it to a week of this show. Can you believe it?

Da Beat: Well, I am trying at all costs to keep it going; if you could do the same, we might make it another week!

A.E.M.: Okay, okay, so what are we doing in tonight’s edition of NFL Draft University’s Divided Opinions? I know you had an idea.

Da Beat: Yes, tonight we are going to do three different type of “games.” In this first part, we are doing to play “trade or draft.” I will begin. Trade Romo for the No. 1 pick?

A.E.M.: If it were not where Parcells was I might think about it, but with the Tuna there, I have to go “draft.” McNabb for the Falcons’ No. 1 pick?

Da Beat: Damn, that is tough. I would say having a veteran quarterback would be great, but mortgaging the future for McNabb and his nagging injuries? I will go: “draft.” Dallas’ two first round picks for Miami’s top pick?

A.E.M.: I have said this before: “trade.” The Dolphins need the help, and the more picks the better. Adding maybe a third pick, either a third rounder in 2008 or a 2009 pick would make the trade perfect. For the Pats, giving up their pick and a player in order to move up for a solid offensive lineman?

Da Beat: They lost the Super Bowl because they could not protect Brady, but that line is not that bad. I would have to think about this depending on which player you are trading, but I would say: “draft.” Last one, the world champs dropping down from 31st for maybe two lower picks?

A.E.M.: At that point, two-fer could be a wild move. That would make sense, so I say: “trade.” And now I say let’s go to a commercial…

Da Beat: Welcome back to the second part of Divided Opinions. Let’s get rolling.

A.E.M.: Yes, tonight’s second segment is called “true or false.” Here is an example. Matt Ryan is going to become a top-notch quarterback.

Da Beat: True. He is going to become a Hall of Famer.

A.E.M.: Yikes, I will say false. McFadden will become an All Pro before anyone else in this draft.

Da Beat: True. He will be the leading rusher in the league within seven years from now.

A.E.M.: False, he is not going to be a full-time back. The two Longs (Jake and Chris) will both become high-level players at their positions.

Da Beat: True, but I am not sure about the Hall of Fame for either. Dan Connor is going to be a great linebacker wherever he goes.

A.E.M.: True. Flacco could be the best quarterback after Ryan and Brohm.

Da Beat: I am going to say, hmm, true. I do like him and I think that he will be given a chance. Going to a stronger team than others might give him a shot to succeed. Last one, four or more flops in the first round.

A.E.M.: Man, four? I say: false. Okay, one more break and then the finish…

Da Beat: This part of Divided Opinions is called—pretty simply—”fill in the blank.” I will begin: Bill Parcells will eventually ____.

A.E.M.: …take over as head coach because he just can’t help himself. The Atlanta Falcons need a big draft because ____.

Da Beat: …without Michael Vick they do not have a player to put butts in the seats and people did love Mike. The Wonderlic test is like ____.

A.E.M.: …a smoke and mirrors thing done for the convenience of teams and the NFL. The best thing that can happen to the Dolphins on draft day is ____.

Da Beat: …that some teams makes a ridiculous trade with them and they do not make the mistake in picking a flop. Felix Jones is going to be ____.

A.E.M.: …fun to watch, but make sure you pay attention because he might not play that much. Last one, Jerry Jones and Al Davis will ____.

Da Beat: …find a way to ruin their drafts, then blame some coach and go off on their high and mighty horse.

A.E.M.: And that is it, we are on our high and mighty horse and heading on out of here—until tomorrow that is!
