Updated and Bumped...P
Yesterday, we saw more players from Idaho get drafted than payers from USC, but today that all figures to change. Yes, we're going to beat the Vandals!
Presently, according to draft experts, if there is even such a thing, it looks as if four Trojans - OL Charles Brown, DE Everson Griffen, S Taylor Mays, and WR Damian Williams may all be drafted in the second round. So, in the meanwhile, feel free to post your thoughts below as we wait and see where these guys end up going. Oh, and if you're still wondering, Jimmy Clausen hasn't been drafted yet.
UPDATE...
So, we saw 4 Trojans drafted yesterday. Taylor Mays, D-WIll, Charles Brown and KeTo.
Everson Griffen is still on the board. It will be interesting to see who goes where today. Still a lot of our guys to be picked today.
On a side note... I will never watch the draft on ESPN ever again. Aside from all the sack washing of Tebow; the two guys I want to hear more from, Kiper and McShay (regardless of what many think of them), have been pushed aside for that clown Gruden...I mean is there ANY pick that he doesn't love? What happened to Keyshawn? He brought some pretty honest insight not the crap that Gruden spews..and Berman? God, he has so jumped the shark...

The Rams take a left tackle but it's not Charles Brown.

They needed a lot more on offense...surprising but Price will do well there

Pac-10 NFL draft picks (1997-2009)

Washington, 34
Oregon State, 31
UCLA, 31
Arizona, 30

Mays to SF!
I know a special someone who is just going to love that!
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
Good place for Mays
He has a coach who values big, hard-hitting safeties.
OMIGOD!
The one team I FUCKING HATE!

Odd pick by the Jets...they needed a WR
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
Stone hands Braylon?
little concerned about Santonio’s off field conduct…
Like Cotchery though
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
Brown Goes to NOLA!
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
So, anyone still feel that Damian and Everson made the right decision?
"Government is the opiate of the masses" Dennis Prager
"I've got blisters on my fingers!!!!!!"
My only point was
that they left because they thought that they would be going in the 2nd round, minimum.

Damian Graduated just like MS
Griffen saw that PC was heading out so it was time to go…he could have used another year under coach O tho…
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
D-Will to the Titans!
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
KeTo to the Colts...
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
That's a fine organization!
Fight On Kevin!

Everson Griffin to Minnesota
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
Lendale traded to the Seahawks
he better perform!
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
He had one solid season in Tennessee though. I like the move by Pete.

McKnight to the J-E-T-S
Interesting…not sure that is a good fit…Oh well

Seahawks take Anthony McCoy in the 6th round
I suppose Pete knows better than anyone his abilities. Now if only he can motivate him better than he did at SC….
Hopefully he doesn't become another Dominique Byrd.

Stafon Johnson still on the board. I have the feeling he's going to get drafted by somebody at least.

Kiper is fantastic
Just have him talk with McShay and Berman and it’d be pretty darn good. Steve Young is a joke too. We don’t even need to comment on Gruden.

but at least his analysis and scouting reports make sense

If he’s completely wrong about how teams value players, how can his analysis be good? I’m not asking to be combative, I don’t generally pay attention to the NFL but I am constantly struck at how full of shit most of these draft “experts” seem to be. I also disapprove of the degree of vitriol they bring to the effort – some fat ass “analyst” was talking shit about Everson Griffen the other day, and while there are “constructive critiques” to be made, I have very little patience with some desk jockey who hasn’t played or coached being that rude about people who have worked their ass off in order to get to where they are.
Well, here's hoping Stafon gets signed as a free agent
Too bad no one took a chance on him.
Hoping Pete gives him a shot
although with Washington and White I’m not sure how he fits in.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
This link also lists the Seahawks as picking up a couple of Trojan free agents
Josh Pinkard and Jeff Byers are apparently going to Seattle as well.
Alex Parsons is going to the Raiders as well.
Will Harris is also a Seahawk now
So Seattle now has the following former USC guys around:
Lofa Tatupu
Lawrence Jackson
Ryan Powdrell
Big Mike Williams
Anthony McCoy
Jeff Byers
Will Harris
Josh Pinkard
LenDale White
and Chris Richard as a coach. Taylor Mays can bitch all he wants but Pete clearly isn’t forgetting his guys, only Lofa and LoJack were there before.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
That's not what TM is pissed about
TM thought PC wasn’t honest with him about what he needed to do to improve his draft stock this year not that he didn’t get picked by PC. TM even admitted that Thomas was better.
TM should have come out last year…but HE made a different decision….
"Mention USC to a Bruin and they get angry; mention UCLA to a Trojan and they laugh."
What message does that really send though
Pete- Leave school now Taylor, because right now your stock is better and you will get paid more than you are worth.
or
Pete- Taylor, you can do better next season and improve your stock if you come back to work on the areas of your game that are weak right now.
I don’t think Pete lied to Taylor. I think Pete bet that Taylor would improve, and Taylor just didn’t.
I think the overwhelming majority of USC players that have returned for their senior years have improved their stock rather than hurt them.
Carson, Troy, Clay, Cush to name a few
Leinart, Talyor, and maybe Rey all went down a bit.
