I'm cool with this pick.

"As one of several pass rushers capable of lining up at defensive end in the 4-3 or outside linebacker in the 3-4, I fully expect him to be drafted higher than my ranking indicates." - Rob Rang

Of all his statistics, forced fumbles [9] is the one that many scouts admire most. "I just have a knack for it," he said. "Throughout the game I was able to watch the quarterback's movements and just see him open up and then I just go in there and just knock it away."

 

Bengals take G Kevin Zeitler

 

Packers select USC DE Nick Perry

 

Vikings have traded up to 29.
Ravens get 2-35 & 4-98

Pats got 25
Denver gets 31, 126

Vikings select S Harrison Smith

 

WR A.J. Jenkins to 9ers.

9ers doing their best to upgrade the WR spot this offseason.

 

Bucs take RB Doug Martin

Bucs get 31 from Denver
Broncos get 36 and swap 4th rounders with TB

 

I enjoyed watching this draft.

No spoilers was great, and the trades kept it interesting.

Mike Mayock owns Mel Kiper's sorry ass, too.

 

RB David Wilson to Giants



For tonight anyways.

 

Once NFLN gets Schefter BSPN will be even worse. Kiper said Irvin was a mind boggling reach even though 7 teams had him in their top 15

 

i wasn't on my laptop during the draft, were there leaks on the twitter world before the picks were announced?

 

NFLN already let Schefter get away.

I wasn't following along on twitter.

 

Tim Couch, Charlie Frye, Brady Quinn, Colt McCoy, Brandon Weeden.

Man it must suck to be a Browns fan.

 

I agree, Mayock is much better than Mel Kiper.

I liked this draft, no spoilers, team made the picks really fast.

I think this was the fastest 1st round of an NFL Draft

 

They're certainly trying to cover their bases if Moss and Manningham flop. What's the advantages that Jenkins has over Randle, Sinu, and Hill?

What's the counter argument that Irvin is only a specialist? Maybe he becomes a poor man's Aldon Smith but Chris Clemons doesn't command the double team like Justin Smith does.

Lots of talent left, I wonder why Upshaw fell so hard. And it'd be cool to have Fleener back with Luck, just not from the Texans perspective.

 

When I woke up this morning, I thought the best case scenario for my Cowboys was Mark Barron. If he was gone I figured they would take either a D-Lineman or Dre Kirkpatrick.

When I looked at my phone at halftime of the Rockets game and saw that the Cowboys had traded up to get Claiborne, I almost dropped it in excitement. If he even turns out to be 1/4th as good as his potential, he'll still be a million times better then every CB this team had last season.

 

yes...Schefter (spelling?) was 2 picks ahead at times.

 

I think so far the Chargers got the steal of the draft. Ingram was suppose to go top 10. Best pass rusher in the draft.

 

Ingram will be a huge bust. When a guy falls like that its for a reason.
