Or Barry could fall down and break his hip sometime random

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if the new Madden will have an ankle breaking feature since Sanders managed to break Rod Woodson's ankle from a juke he once did in a game.

<font color=goldenrod>Apparently the Chiefs will be taking Eric Fisher instead of Luke Joeckel.

There's a chance Joeckel falls to the Eagles now. Fuck.</font>

Really hope that Jerry Jones proves me wrong and shows that he hasn't become a less ballsy Al Davis.

[Ermaximus]

Really hope that Jerry Jones proves me wrong and shows that he hasn't become a less ballsy Al Davis.

For your sake, I hope Jerry sells the team this year.

[Next Big Thing]

I don't know why so many experts and fans are pissing on this draft. There is a lot of depth at key positions like pass rusher and corner. Even the QB talk is ridiculous. So many of the experts dumping on guys like Smith, Barkley and Nassib were the same ones scoffing at the likes of Wilson and Tannehill.

I'm excited for this draft, especially with the rumors of the Birds trying to move up. Would love if they pulled a Julio for a guy like Dion Jordan.

[Next Big Thing]

Really hope that Jerry Jones proves me wrong and shows that he hasn't become a less ballsy Al Davis.

You're going to get the best athlete on the board. Congrats. Until Jerry kicks the bucket, the Cowboys are the new Raiders.

[Ermaximus]

Jags reportedly trying to trade up for more picks. Possibly take Barkley? Why take him in the first round though? If he's still there on day 2, and you have the 33rd overall pick, take him then. God knows he is a serious upgrade over Blame Gabbert and Chad Henne.

[Next Big Thing]

Hope Goodell goes easy on the PDA.

[James Steele]

I hope Goodell keels over.

[Ermaximus]

Mingo is going to be a Brown. That poor bastard.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Going with the NFL Network again this year, since they don't spoil every pick by showing the player on the phone minutes before the selection is announced.</font>

0 Super Bowl titles, 1 Pro Bowl appearance, and 2 Conference title games between those 3 guys from USC. Palmer probably would have been on the list if he didn't play in Oakland last year.

Has ESPN spoiled the first 10 picks yet?? I have it on NFL network

[Kris P Lettus]

true, they had some good players and alex smith will def be an improvement

<3 dexter mcluster

[Crimson]

Can't Jacvksonville sign one of the free agent offensive tackles available instead of drafting Joeckel?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Joeckel on a joke of a team.

Raiders next..Loutulelei>Floyd

[Kris P Lettus]

good night for the big boys down front

:happytear:

[Kris P Lettus]

Joeckel on a joke of a team.

i want to smash yr face so bad

[Ermaximus]

Oh God that line is going to be amazing now. Monroe, Nwaneri, Rackley, and Joeckel. Fuck yes! Now we just need a younger center because Meester needs to just go.

[Ermaximus]

Joeckel on a joke of a team.

:foc:

[Crimson]

Good move for Oakland. They suck and need players

[Next Big Thing]

Damn.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Shit now Philly will probably go with Lane Johnson.</font>

NFL network guys were surprised. Did anyone have it on espn and did they spoil the pick??????

wow Jordan is 6foot 7777777

[Emperor Smeat]

What did Miami give up for Jordan?

1st (#12) and 2nd round (#42) picks

I don't want the picks spoiled, but im curious. And Im a Cowboys fan:rant:

[Ermaximus]

Thanks SM! Have some rep.

[Ermaximus]

In other news, the Heat are losing to the Bucks. Neat!

[Crimson]

Hopefully Lane Johnson is a bust

[Ermaximus]

Ok, so CSL, which team is going to "pull a Britta?"

[ClockShot]

What's this, like 10 minutes to make a pick?!

Just got home by the way.

[Kris P Lettus]

yeah 10 per pick

cant remember when they changed it

[Ermaximus]

What's this, like 10 minutes to make a pick?!

Just got home by the way.

I'm glad it isn't 15 like it used to be. That shit was unreal. You know who you want, and if said player isn't there, you take the next one on the list. Stop fucking around and just make your picks.

[Crimson]

What's this, like 10 minutes to make a pick?!

Just got home by the way.

Better than 15

[ClockShot]

Should be 5 minutes.

Also I think it should get moved to friday. Never liked the draft starting on thursday.

[Crimson]

Ziggy Ansah > Mingo

[Ermaximus]

Ansah and Suh in Detroit. Oh my!

[Ermaximus]

Enjoy Cleveland Mingo.

[Next Big Thing]

I think Ansah has bust written all over him. NFL tackles have the talent and technique to keep him in check.

[CSL]

Ok, so CSL, which team is going to "pull a Britta?"

RAIDERS obvs, even after dropping down. Watch them go and draft the discus thrower from over here that's never played a down of any kind

[Crimson]

I think Ansah has bust written all over him. NFL tackles have the talent and technique to keep him in check.

I think Mingo will be the bust.

[ClockShot]

Kinda drawing a blank on what my Broncos need. I wanna say grab a nice CB to make up for that disaster playoff game last season and make the secondary stronger. But we also need to find a replacement for Elvis "The King" Dumervil.

I trust you, General Elway.

[McLegend]

No surprise there with the Lane Johnson pick after the first 3 picks.

[Ermaximus]

RAIDERS obvs, even after dropping down. Watch them go and draft the discus thrower from over here that's never played a down of any kind

So they'll draft a long snapper from NWNJSCT?

[Next Big Thing]

Mariucci has been pouting since Eisen gave him shit for drafting Joey Harrington.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Ansah looked depressed to be going to Detroit.</font>

[ClockShot]

So what's everyone preference for watching right now.

NFL Network or ESPN?

[Ermaximus]

NFL Network, most definitely.

[Kris P Lettus]

i hope jarvis jones makes it to 15

[CSL]

always NFL Network

[Ermaximus]

Nassib will go now. Hanso, your thoughts?

[Triple Naitch]

Showing baby pictures of the draft picks on NFL Network is kinda weird.

[ClockShot]

Rams just traded up.

Someone tell SammyG.

[Emperor Smeat]

So what's everyone preference for watching right now.

NFL Network.

ESPN spoiled Arizona's pick online before they announced it.

ESPN's twitter feed is a lot better than last year since that was spoiling picks almost a minute before ESPN would on tv.

[Kris P Lettus]

Rams just traded up.

Someone tell SammyG.

i would but i dont speak douchebag

[Next Big Thing]

If the Jets just miss out on Austin, listening to ESPN New York tomorrow will be fun.

[Kris P Lettus]

1st 2nd 3rd and 7th to move up 8??

that's some ATL shit

[Ermaximus]

1st 2nd 3rd and 7th to move up 8??

They swapped 3rd rounders.

[Boomer]

Julio Jones was worth the picks. I'm sure you know that, Krispy. Probably helped that it was the Browns though.

[Next Big Thing]

That's a lot of pressure on Dee.

[Kris P Lettus]

the kid is legit though

xavier rhodes will be the next cb taken

[Kris P Lettus]

Julio Jones was worth the picks. I'm sure you know that, Krispy. Probably helped that it was the Browns though.

i know man

i gotta talk shit

[Crimson]

Well the guards will be gone for the Cowboys. If Vaccaro and Fluker are gone not sure what way they go. Hope they trade down.

[Crimson]

Great job by Oakland though..they'll still get who they wanted at number 3

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>At this point, the Giants should look elsewhere than OL. there will be better value than taking the 8th or 9th best OL on the board.</font>

[Kris P Lettus]

There goes the best corner in the draft.

[Crimson]

Geno Smith should just wear some sunglasses and put his feet up on the table

[Next Big Thing]

I was hoping Haden would slip to the Falcons. If Geno Smith doesn't get picked soon, that green room might start to get real lonely.

[Kris P Lettus]

or he could look uncomfortable like lienart quinn rodgers

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Manti T'ao drafted to the Juno Catfish.

Jarvis Jones is crazy talented, and I wouldn't be happy if I had to start rooting against him, but I do wonder how he will do in the pros. I don't think he'll be a bust or anything, but Georgia had a really good defense around him.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Once again, Mark Sanchez gets fuck all while Rex pads his defense for the fourth year in a row.

He deserves nothing except a boot out of town. Rex Ryan will then smell that boot.

[Kris P Lettus]

people were questioning Eddie Lacy like that too bc of bama oline

[Boomer]

I also think he might get warn down easily. I never thought Jarvis had much of a motor.

Ahhh. Another Aints DB for the Falcons to victimize.

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. The feed I'm watching cut out for a second and when it came back Roger Goodell was saying "...from St. Jude's research hospital"

[Boomer]

I honestly have no idea what the Falcons are doing. I really doubt its a TE with the first pick, but I don't know for sure. Too much rebuilding to do on defense.

[Next Big Thing]

I think we'll take Trufant. Him or a DE.

[Next Big Thing]

Would be hilarious if the Bills took Smith over Nassib. What an insult.

[Kris P Lettus]

my brother is f'n pissed

Christopher Harris, ESPN:

Fantasy-wise, Eifert and Gresham will cancel each other out and annoy the hell out of fantasy owners. Andy Dalton isn't good enough to support both of them.

[Emperor Smeat]

Minnesota currently rumored to be making a draft trade for the Pats 29th pick. They'd be taking Manti Te'o if it does occur.

[Droford]

Vikings trying to trade for a 3rd first rounder trying to get into the first ahead of the Ravens, probably to the Patriots.

fuck

[Droford]

I think the Ravens are going to get Ogletree regardless

[Next Big Thing]

The Patriots draft party looks like zero fun.

Ravens won't draft Teo to filll in Ray Lewis but they will draft Elam to fill Ed Reed.

ehh

[Droford]

first time in 50 years no RB drafted first round

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Apparently Geno is heading home. He has no desire to go on stage as a second rounder.</font>

[Skippord]

Sylvester "The Molester" Williams

gonna ruin some childhoods

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Though it wasn't a sexy pick and I would have probably preferred Ogletree...I'm kinda surprised at the negativity from Giants fans on the Pugh pick. They did need help on the line. Beatty's the only guy on their line who won't be 30 or older by the time the season starts. Diehl is reaching the end of his rope, and Snee has said he may retire after next year.

Like most Reese first rounders, Pugh will probably not be starting Week 1 barring injury. But he seems like less of a project lineman than the James Brewers of the world.</font>

[weather vane]

LOVING what the Phins have done

[Krimzon7]

why oh why do we go an draft another tight end when Gresham is a beast...we trying too hard to turn into the cincinatti patriots.

[James Steele]

...shit works.

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>LOL @ the Cowboys with a huge reach</font>

The Giants reached too. STFU. Calling it an "unsexy pick" doesn't make your pick any less of a reach.

[ClockShot]

Pretty cool with Denver's pick. Went and filled Elvis' spot.

What the hell with the Bills? Thought for sure they were gonna grab Nassib.

[Evil Vito]

The Giants reached too. STFU. Calling it an "unsexy pick" doesn't make your pick any less of a reach.

<font color=goldenrod>Most had Frederick grading out as a 3rd rounder, some even a 4th rounder. Unless they got a report that another team had an absolute hard-on for him, I see no way he wouldn't have still been there for Dallas at #45. To say Pugh's just as big of a reach as him is stupid. Frederick and Manuel were the biggest reaches of the first round.

Pugh graded out as the #22 top player on the board and went at #19. I'll take it.</font>

http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w459/bucket4nyy/pughat22.jpg

[Ermaximus]

<font color=goldenrod>Pretty crazy that a lot of people had the Jags going for Geno at #2 overall and they can now simply grab him to start the 2nd round if they wanted.</font>

I'd rather take Nassib, but that's just me. If we take Smith today, he'll either have something to prove for not being drafted first round, or he'll be a huge tit and play like shit because he went second round.

Hate how drafts are "graded" immediately. Sure some picks are stupid or dont seem to make sense as soon as they're announced (Kyle Brady, JaMarcus Russell, Heyward-Bey) but most opinion should be held for about 2 years or so, I think.

[Next Big Thing]

Neither if you're basing it on the draft. The Raiders got arguably the best corner in the draft and the Jets got two highly regarded defensive players. Maybe they could have moved back to take Eifert, but it's not that bad a draft for them on paper at this point.

[Moonax]

Totally agree.

Look at the Vikings 2005 draft
1: Troy Williamson - lasted 2 seasons - taken ahead of Roddy White, Vincent Jackson,
1: Erasmus James - lasted 2 seasons - taken ahead of Luis Castillo, Justin Tuck
2: Marcus Johnson - lasted 3 seasons
3: Dustin Fox - broke arm in first training session - never saw the field with the team
4: Ciatrick Fason - lasted 2 seasons - 161 yards on 50 carries
6: C.J.Mosley - lasted 1 season - only player from the draft still in the NFL
7: Adrian Ward - cut before the season began.

Looked on paper a solid draft that dealt with positions of need. 7 years later it is a horrible draft that set the team back years.

Ask me in 5 years time whether a draft is an A+ or a F-

The other thing that I hate is the fact that no one ever comes back to Mel Kipper or any of the draft 'gurus' and points out how many of the players they've bigged up have been total busts. I'd love it if someone were to do some fact checking on their success rates.

That DT is a beast and they lack pass rushers on the line but the Jets are the absolute worst on offense.. This would be like if the Saints had picked up a skilled offensive player in the first..

IMO they should have helped out Flynn with a skilled O player.. Just like the Jets should have helped out Sanchize the same way.. I like the Milliner pick cause of Revis but that second pick is suspect, even though that kid will have a good career..

[Next Big Thing]

You're right about the need for offensive players, but how many skilled O players went in the first round anyways? There's going to be plenty of receivers and RBs in the second and third round.

[Kris P Lettus]

True

Everyone is giving this Vacaro kid a really good grade, saying that he lacks ball hawk skills but is a maniac tackler and can shutdown the run and lockdown WR.. Harpers lack of coverage skills killed us against the 9ers last season and in the 2012 playoffs so I guess we did need a guy like that, it's just I really wanted a bestmode pass rusher..

p.s. what time does it start today??

Geno Smith to Jacksonville makes sense - I did see some mocks having them take him with their 1st rd pick.

But it also shows the folly of the draft - Blaine Gabbert ends up out on his ear after two seasons. Joining a long list of 1st round QB busts.

[Kris P Lettus]

I can attest to the fact that Marithe Francois Girbauds were the cat's meow in Mississippi in the early 90's..

[Ermaximus]

2 years ago Gabbert blamed his horrible play on having no WR's. Now he has Blackmon, Shorts III, and Mossaqui. Last year he blamed his poor play on a shitty O-Line. Now he has two beasts blocking for him in Monroe and Joeckel, a decent pair of guards in Nwaneri and Rackley, and an aged vet under center in Meester. It's time to either show the world what you can do and lead this team, or GTFO and let somebody better take over. Period. No excuse Blame.

[Kris P Lettus]

geno will be sitting at the draft again tonight

:(

[James Steele]

I thought they said he was flying back home?

Anyway, I was worried that Dallas would take Tyrann Mathieu. They probably will later, but at least they addressed a need.

[Kris P Lettus]

they just said he's gonna be there on nfl network

[Next Big Thing]

geno will be sitting at the draft again tonight

:(

Schefter is saying that the Jets are trying to move up to get him. He shouldn't be waiting long.

[Moonax]

Blaine Gabbert vs Jimmy Clausen vs Christian Ponder for biggest bust QB since Jamarcus Russell.

[Emperor Smeat]

Think Mark Sanchez or Brady Quinn might qualify as bigger ones instead.

Clausen's bust potential comes from the Panthers just pulling the plug on him after 3 games and then drafting Newton the next year. No chance to develop nor have enough time to develop a horrible resume. Gabbert could probably be blamed more on the Jags team being really bad and him potentially becoming the next "David Carr" (lots of sacks and fumbles).

[Kris P Lettus]

think think USC produces the biggest "busts" in NFL history

specially QBs

[Kris P Lettus]

Saints drafted 2 USC players in the first the past 10 years and both have not panned out

[Ermaximus]

Think Mark Sanchez or Brady Quinn might qualify as bigger ones instead.

Clausen's bust potential comes from the Panthers just pulling the plug on him after 3 games and then drafting Newton the next year. No chance to develop nor have enough time to develop a horrible resume. Gabbert could probably be blamed more on the Jags team being really bad and him potentially becoming the next "David Carr" (lots of sacks and fumbles).

Gabbert is linked to Gene Smith. Gabbert falls on him.

[Moonax]

Quinn gets a pass as being drafted by the Browns means that your career is automatically fucked from the get-go.

Same for Sanchez really - on a better team with decent coaches he'd be a decent player.

Alex Smith was pretty horrible for most of his career - until he got a decent coach.

Matt Leinhart was amusingly bad.

Actually a good game would be to try to predict who the biggest busts will be in this years first round.

Who is this years Vernon Gholston?

[Skippord]

I have to record the second and third rounds so no one post in here until I've had a chance to watch it, because I can't control myself.

[Ermaximus]

Or we could have somebody put all the names in bloque form? Maybe just put them all in spoiler tags even?

[screech]

Every post in spoiler tags for Skippord. Let's hope Jamstar doesn't come in here as he hates Skippord and would spoil it.

Round 2

FIGHT!

[#1-norm-fan]

<font color=goldenrod>Most had Frederick grading out as a 3rd rounder, some even a 4th rounder. Unless they got a report that another team had an absolute hard-on for him, I see no way he wouldn't have still been there for Dallas at #45. To say Pugh's just as big of a reach as him is stupid. Frederick and Manuel were the biggest reaches of the first round.

Pugh graded out as the #22 top player on the board and went at #19. I'll take it.</font>

If we're going by what "some say", we can go with NFL.com analysts as opposed to Scouts Inc...

Frederick is graded a 78.7. Even higher than Pugh who is graded 73.0.

actually went and bought BEERZ to watch this tonight, more interested in the later rounds this year given that's where the guys I'm "looking out for" are going to be drafted

[Ermaximus]

Let's see who we take.

Aww shit! Mark Brunell in this bitch!

It seems like a weird year where the first round prospects are pretty weak while the drop off into the later round is very small.

Cyprien Ohh I like that pick a lot!

Hoping for one of these teams' war rooms to have their staff in full military uniforms and a big map of the world as a table.

And the red phone.

On a weekend where a former LSU football player was to be celebrated by his hometown for moving on to the NFL, he instead found himself in legal hot water that leaves his draft stock in question.

Ex-LSU cornerback Tharold Simon was arrested Thursday night and charged with public intimidation, resisting arrest and unnecessary noise in his hometown of Eunice, La.

Lafayette, La., television station KATC reported that Simon's vehicle was blocking a street and he was asked to move it. According to the report, he told the officer, "I own Eunice" and "I'm going to buy these projects and you are going to be mine," before getting into his car.

The report said Simon spun his wheels, "backed up in an aggressive manner" and "turned his radio all the way up." When he was arrested, he reportedly told the officer that "the mayor was on my side" and that the officer would be fired for giving him a ticket.
:lol:

[ClockShot]

Dumb move by the Bolts in my opinion. Probably could have gotten him at anytime.

[#1-norm-fan]

Do we have any Chargers fans here? I don't think so. Who do we direct the Te'o jokes to all season?

[ClockShot]

Jets pick is in.

Taking a QB?

Back pages of the Post and Daily News should be interesting.

I wonder if Francesa makes it to the airwaves tomorrow?

[CSL]

ENG-ER-LANDDDDDDDDDDD

[CSL]

THAT'S A MANC IN THE NFL

[Next Big Thing]

Wonder how soon before Geno Smith is starting. The fans will definitely be chanting for him from day one.

[DaveBrawl]

Ok, so CSL, which team is going to "pull a Britta?"

RAIDERS obvs, even after dropping down. Watch them go and draft the discus thrower from over here that's never played a down of any kind

LOL so close.
