The Nittany Turkey

Primarily about Penn State football, this is a tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

King Chosen by Rams

Posted on April 27, 2008 Written by The Nittany Turkey

Penn State cornerback Justin King was chosen by the St. Louis Rams as the #2 pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. This makes him the #101 overall pick.

Many defensive backs were drafted ahead of King. It is almost a certainty that his 2007 season hurt his credibility with NFL teams.

We now await Mr. Irrelevant, as the seventh round winds down. The draft eligible ex-Nittany Lions remaining undrafted at this point are Rod Kinlaw, Anthony Morelli, and Austin Scott.

Connor #74 Overall

Posted on April 27, 2008 Written by The Nittany Turkey

With the 11th pick in the third round of the NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers chose Penn State linebacker Dan Connor. Having slipped so low is undoubtedly a disappointment for Connor.

More draft details as they emerge. I’ll let you know what happens with Justin King, who is the next Nittany Lion expected to be drafted. Tampa Bay is on the clock and they need cornerbacks to replace Brian Kelly and the aging Ronde Barber, but somehow I doubt that they’ll choose King after the failed Alan Zemaitis experiment.

No Picks as of Round Two

Posted on April 26, 2008 Written by The Nittany Turkey

I shall quickly state that no Penn State players were picked in the first two rounds of the NFL Draft. Rounds three through seven will take place on Sunday.

In the high-profile quarterback derby, Matt Ryan of BC was #3 overall, going to Atlanta. Joe Flacco of Delaware was #18 overall. He went to the Ravens. Brian Brohm of Louisville and Chad Henne of Michigan both were late second-round picks, picked back-to-back by Green Bay and Miami.

Interestingly enough, seven offensive tackles were first round picks, whereas there were no wide receivers in the initial round.

Altogether, four linebackers were selected in the first two rounds. two in each. Dan Connor was not one of them. This came as a surprise to many self-appointed pundits who believed Connor was a late first or early second-rounder. This Turkey believed he would go in the second round.

I’ll be back with tomorrow’s news. At least two Nittany Lions surely will be drafted!

Whodat Turkey?

The Nittany Turkey is a retired techno-geek who thinks he knows something about Penn State football and everything else in the world. If there's a topic, we have an opinion on it, and you know what "they" say about opinions! Most of what is posted here involves a heavy dose of hip-shooting conjecture, but unlike some other blogs, we don't represent it as fact. Read More…
