We don't need another OLB, we don't need another #3 type WR. Really these make no sense, and for instance I'd much rather have the Panthers #2 next year than the guy we took in the 3rd round. But whatev.

They still need DL help, and I'd have liked to see them go after a NT early.


The third pick sounds like Wallace from last year and he has turned out ok so far.

I think they might go for Pike in the 4th

Speaking of players who made bad decisions about whether or not to come out early, someone gave Everson Griffen some horrible advice. I imagine after a year under Coach O, he could have been a 1st rounder next year with his physical gifts.

Eaglesfan27 04-24-2010 09:12 AM

Vikings just got the steal of the draft. This free fall should have taken care of his biggest issue right now - lack of motivation all of the time.

kurtism 04-24-2010 09:13 AM

Good gravy. Poor Mayock sounds like he may die. Chavous is gonna be a busy man today, methinks.

DeToxRox 04-24-2010 09:19 AM

Haha, Ochocinco continues to show why he is my favorite player in the NFL right now:

I've texted all the draft picks so far and cant wait to take them out to dinner #drivethru McDonalds, only1 hasn't hit me back is Shipley :(
about 4 hours ago via OCNN

@jordan_Shipley man if you don't return my text you ain't super-sizing when we go to McDonalds and I'm gonna flat your car tires #serious
about 4 hours ago via OCNN

@Jordan_shipley where the f%#% are you at? I'm level 3 pissed, tweet me back now, draft is over , we are suppose to bond now #cigars

lol @ochocinco

Anyone know much about LB Riley? I don't know anything about him, but LB was a good position to pick up for the Skins.

Should be a good 3-4 ILB. Will get plenty of tackles at that position.

wade moore 04-24-2010 09:36 AM

hah - Raiders get Campbell like everyone thought, just not as early.

Eaglesfan27 04-24-2010 09:53 AM

McKnight and Sanchez reunited. :)

Noop 04-24-2010 09:58 AM

New England loves players from Florida, no wonder I hate both of them with a passion.

Tekneek 04-24-2010 09:59 AM

Did Dwyer get some really bad advice or something?

I wish these guys could come back if they aren't drafted, similar to the way basketball players can go that route. The player seems to be taking all the risk here, at such a young age, while the "advisers" move on to the next thing.

stevew 04-24-2010 10:03 AM

Another OLB. Joy.

Neuqua 04-24-2010 10:08 AM

I think the Bears got a solid 4th round pick in Wootton out of Northwestern.

Don't forget, the Bengals have Quan Cosby returning punts and kicks too.

I LOVE Shipley. I thought he deserved to be top 3 in the Heisman last year.

Horrible pick in the 1st, excellent pick in the 4th.

Izulde 04-24-2010 10:33 AM

Surprised to see Hawley be the first Rebel drafted.

Looks like Dolphins got a decent OLB, but damn it, where's the RB or WR?

MacroGuru 04-24-2010 10:40 AM

Baltimore takes BYU TE Dennis Pita in the 4th and I think they get a great TE that is ready to play.

Matthean 04-24-2010 11:01 AM

While the Lions can always use line help, they have to address the LBs at some point and 7th rounders likely won't cut it.

Why do we need another WR? I think we're fine with Bess, Camarillo, and Hartline as the #'s 2-4. In fact, I think Bess will flourish this year without getting the defense's attention.

Heard Akin Adoyele might sign in Detroit after the draft. Would be a good WLB.

Passacaglia 04-24-2010 11:13 AM

I think what surprised me most was the Jahvid Best pick. Don't the Lions have needs far greater than RB?

wade moore 04-24-2010 11:21 AM

How many RBs do the Jets need?

DeToxRox 04-24-2010 11:22 AM

Leon washington to the Seahawks.

Smith has been decent, but he has health issues. I do think they could have waited and gotten a quality RB and used the pick for something else.

Our #1 back (if you call Smith a #1) tore his ACL and might end up on the PUP list to start the year. RB was a massive need sadly.

wade moore 04-24-2010 11:25 AM

Ah - Conner is a FB and they traded Washington.

And now Rod Muckelroy.

Although it wouldn't surprise me if Shipley ends up taking Cosby's spot. Seems like Cosby, Jones and Simpson are fighting for two spots.

Eaglesfan27 04-24-2010 11:40 AM

NFL network is reporting that Washington and Oakland are talking about a Jason Campbell trade.

Passacaglia 04-24-2010 11:45 AM

Plus Forsett. Petey thinks he's still at SC, though I can't argue with the moves. Can't stockpile RB's in the NFL though.

Didn't he test positive at the combine?

Thomkal 04-24-2010 12:08 PM

And in the trade that sent McFadden back to Pittsburgh, the Cards take a QB, John Skelton from Fordham. Very interesting. The Jets have released G Alan Faneca as well, surely the Cards will have interest in him.

Good deal for the Steelers. At best, he is a starter and at worst, a very good nickelback. I'm happy with this move.

bhlloy 04-24-2010 12:12 PM

I think the USC player who will be the best pro (Anthony McCoy) isn't even off the board yet. Somebody is going to get a steal at this point. Maybe not as good a pass catcher as most of the guys who have gone so far but a good blocker, reliable, tough and great production at the college level. Very surprised he's still on the board and he'll be a starter in the league for a while IMO.

Currently still sitting there as ESPN's best available.

From what I have read, that was a prescription medication that the league was already aware of and granted a waiver for. I doubt that has anything to do with the draft situation.

wade moore 04-24-2010 12:29 PM

A 4th in 2012?

Blah - I would just assume keep him to be honest.

And as bad as his setup was in WAS, it'll be that much worse in OAK.

RedKingGold 04-24-2010 12:33 PM

Matt Millen is clearly a racist.

Thomkal 04-24-2010 12:34 PM

wow Matt Millen just did a public apology for some comment he made to Jaworski about Polish people

Neat feature on Skelton on ESPN just now-testing him on SportsScience. Like him even more now.

wade moore 04-24-2010 01:06 PM

A TE for the Skins?!?! WTF?!

Passacaglia 04-24-2010 01:18 PM

Folks, I'd like to apologize for a comment I made recently regarding Matt Millen's ethnicity. In no way did I mean for my comment to be seen as degrading. Matt and I go way back, and he knows that my hatred of him is purely because of his 8 years destroying the Lions, and not for racial concerns.

I'm thrilled that the Raiders picked up Campbell. He is a solid starter who had done well in adjusting to a different system each year. And more than gaining Campbell, I am even more happy that this means Russell at best is probably the 3rd string QB, if he is not cut. Campbell over Russell on the Raiders last year and they probably win 8 games.

I believe the Raiders just turned their team around these past few days. Yes, they may not be a playoff team even, but they will no longer be the laughing stock of the league and should be a decent team.
